    Haha, to summarize it was a dream where I woke up in a world where I was dead. It was like seeing how the world would have gone on when I was gone away.

    Capo 5

    Verse 1: C, Am7, F, C, G
    i spent a good couple o days in arizona
    the heat wasn't too good but we had our corona
    brought a small car, never really knew what we were doin
    left your heart in a craze, never told them
    then you waited for days, but you knew by then i was
    1000 miles away, and you were too

    bridge: Am7, E7, F, D
    the desert won't forgive
    the sun is staring down at you
    C F C
    well Tacna, AZ
    here's to you

    Verse 2: C, Am7, F, C, G
    you thought you found your true love, sandra oh wow
    only known her for days, love at first sight now
    you wanted to give it all up, for just you two
    now it's over and done, it was a quick end
    but at least now we've got plenty of new friends
    never thought we could ever find you too

    bridge:
    i know you left your heart behind
    yeah i left my heart too

    well Tacna, AZ
    here's to you

    well Tacna, AZ
    here's to you

    FIRST
    on September 13, 2011 17:16

    verse 1:
    i wanna twist your hips
    fall back on your lips
    let it slowly rock you back and forth

    i slip off your skirt
    kiss your neck to assert
    that its me and you here now

    yet it's colder in june
    and you left a full moon
    but its reeling us older than sin

    chorus:
    and you said "i cant believe
    that you would ever lie to me
    yes i'm falling and still can't see"

    oh i cant believe
    you can ever love me
    yet you know that soon I will leave

    verse 2:
    bodies intertwined
    pause the world take your time
    let the magic consume you and heal

    whisper in my ear
    subtle talk so you'll hear
    that this bed is an island, ours

    hearts pounding more
    it explodes in your core
    somewhere thunderstorms clear out your past

    chorus:
    and you said, "i can't believe
    that you would ever lie with me
    and i've fallen and now i can see"

    oh please believe
    that soon i will leave
    and it all was still real to me

    oh please believe
    that soon i will leave
    and it all was still real to me

    verse 3:
    bold and unsurmised
    the illusion's comprised
    of the beauty of the love we need

    swept, take a breath
    scaring me half to death
    yes i'm winded but i still feel

    blue in your eyes
    "i'm no good at goodbyes
    oh but i'd never be one to leave"

    chorus:
    and you said, "i can't believe
    this is happening to me
    i've fallen and now i can see"

    oh please please know
    that it's my choice to go
    but if i'd met you sooner i'd be

    oh please please I
    don't want you to standby
    just move on and let me leave

    cause my first,
    i've gotta leave
    i've gotta leave

    In My Own Words
    on February 22, 2011 04:43

    verse:
    why speak when we can sing?
    the universe grants and it brings
    all day i wait for you
    to forget what you know and begin a new

    chorus:
    why have i never been so sad
    the upheaval of hearts, a broken fad
    upon this day so false untrue
    alright, okay, i'll love you

    verse:
    why speak when we can cry
    a mellow tune to drown your eyes
    i still believe in second chances
    watch as the moon dances

    verse:
    watch as the sky refuses to
    speak a single word
    as the masses of gailsses
    and endless constellations
    take form of legends and myths conceived

    by thinkers, lovers, dreamers.

    verse:
    why smoke when you can drink (drink your life away)
    why float on, when you can sink (or swim another day)
    decision the lies we're believing
    the question remains for deceiving
    our needs of knowing are the
    pains of growing
    a kryptonic solution to the
    befuddlement of tall tales

    bridge:
    why know when you can dream (dream so softly)
    why be quiet when you can scream (scream your heart out)
    why live when you can die
    a sorry tale to make you cry

    chorus:
    why have i never been so sad
    the upheaval of hearts, a broken fad
    upon this day, so false untrue
    alright, okay, i'll love you

    in my own words, i'll love you

    Tragedy
    on February 22, 2011 04:40

    lyrics:

    he's got stony hair
    with a blank set state minded affair
    were you there, when he fell
    three summers ago
    oh what a tragedy

    she had eyes that smiled
    with a beauty so deep that their lives
    intertwined, so magicallly
    yet so morose
    oh what misfortune it brings

    but in the end it's just a story
    that needs to be told
    and everyone's counting
    on you to be bold
    so wise up tell the girl
    cause this might be the last
    chance you'll ever get
    and i'm sorry you won't get it

    it was dark outside
    yet the glow was so bright it began
    to size up into a collective
    moon
    a transcending object above

    it came time to leave
    and all the emotions were set so free
    he closed his eyes and she counted the three
    "I think I love you"'s

    as he held her hand, like warm
    summer basking and they hit land
    they found it harder to breathe
    living life carelessly
    and carelessly in love

    cause in your eyes
    in your eyes
    in your eyes she was the one
    and in your mind
    in your mind
    in your mind, "why did i run"

    cause you know how hard it is to find love
    and how often it'll take life to see
    and you know that once you have found it
    oh your love
    oh your love
    will flee

    he had stony hair
    with a blank set state minded affair
    were you there, when he fell
    three summers ago
    oh what tragedy

    and where was this girl
    and the rest of the world followed
    on with her, a care without sighs
    as he held his tongue
    this is a travesty

    but in the end it's just a story
    that needs to be told
    and everyone's counting
    on you to be bold
    so wise up tell the girl
    cause this might be the last
    chance you'll ever get
    and i'm sorry you won't get it

    cause in your eyes
    in your eyes
    in your eyes she was the one
    and in your mind
    in your mind
    in your mind, "why did i run"

    cause you know how hard it is to find love
    and how often it'll take life to see
    and you know that once you have found it
    oh your love
    oh your love
    will flee
