When I see you

Words fall short of what I want to say

My world is filled with smiles when I think of you

But these are the words I fail to say or do

When I see your smile, it makes me grow weak in the knees

I’m so close to you, yet I seem so far away

I don’t know what, I’m supposed to do

So I’ll say it the only way, I know how to

You make my world, you make it complete

But baby there’s no easy way to tell you

In my mind, I reach out for your hand

You take it, take me as I am

But then I come back, to reality

Could I ever be your man?

Oh, could I be

But will you ever find me?

I’m left here undiscovered, baby I’m right in front of you

Can we take that chance, see how we do

I can see it in your eyes, I can feel it in my heart

Baby we can’t wait, until it’s too late

You bite your lower lip, I can feel it begin to start

Let’s take a chance, leave everything behind

A mistake isn’t a mistake, you won’t know until you try

You make my world, you make it complete

But baby there’s no easy way to tell you

In my mind, I reach out for your hand

You take it, take me as I am

But then I come back, to reality

Could I ever be your man?

Oh, could I be

But will you ever find me?

I’ve been homesick for you, since the first day I saw you

We all love someone, we think we can’t have

But there is nothing that I wouldn’t do

To show you who I really am

But then I come back, to reality

Could I ever be your man?

Oh, could I be

But will you ever find me?

Oh, will you ever…

Sometimes you gotta take chances, let love take its course

You have to at least try, you can’t immediately slam the door

You may not be looking for love, but I wasn’t either

But when I saw you, my knees grew weak, and I grew eager

My palms started to sweat, and I started breathing heavily

I couldn't believe my angel was finally standing in front of me

But you left as quickly as you came into my life

Now I’m left alone again, why even try?

 

#take, #chance

I’ve learned so many times before

To never let her open the door

To my heart, to my soul

I’ve built a wall, never letting go

And you creep and you creep

Into my heart, into my sleep

And you steal the one thing that I need

The one thing I still have

 

My heart, it breaks with every kiss

Will I ever learn to find a girl

But my chances fade with every miss

And it seems I’m stuck in my own world

And I can’t escape

You keep pulling me back in

And I try to run away

But somehow you always win

Never will I learn to do

What I’m supposed to

Just walk, walk away

Let something new begin

On a brand new day

 

The secrets that I’ve learned from you

Make me think that there is no way

To ever trust a girl in any way

What am I supposed to do?

You’ve jaded me from love

I thought you were the one

But now I walk alone in memories

On such a solemn path

And you’ve stolen the one thing that I need

The one thing I thought I had

 

My heart, it breaks with every kiss

Will I ever learn to find a girl

But my chances fade with every miss

And it seems I’m stuck in my own world

And I can’t escape

You keep pulling me back in

And I try to run away

But somehow you always win

Never will I learn to do

What I’m supposed to

Just walk, walk away

Let something new begin

On a brand new day

 

So now I do what I should have done

A long, long time ago

I tear the walls down, and start to move on

Whether it’s with you, or all alone

It doesn’t matter to me, it’s my life, my heart

I’m sick of it all falling apart

From now on my life is new in every way

As I start out on a brand new day

#matt

Have you ever loved someone?

Have you ever been so alone?

Thought about her every day

Seeming so close yet so far away

Have you ever wanted her so bad?

Friends forever, she’s the one, you can’t have

Memories are filled with you and her

Friendship so important, always together

But have you ever…?

#matt

Silence, overcomes me

All alone, nobody here

I remember how it used to be

The memories are so clear

But the answer, why’d you leave?

Leave me here, all alone

Everything we had known

Walked with you out that door

Did you not love me anymore?

My thoughts are all I hear

And I live my own worst fear

Alone, alone

Everything I had has disappeared

Now I live my life in loneliness…

#matt

I remember when you looked into my eyes And you said it’s something I have to do We laid there together side by side And I cried, and I cried When he said I’ll always remember you But don’t go to far away ‘Cause I’ll be back again someday And to help remember me this is what I’ll do Every night I will write a letter to you Think of me, think of me by your side No matter where I go, you’ll always be on my mind And while I’m in this freedom fight I hope you know I’m doing what’s right But as the days grow long And I’m still gone Know I still haven’t forgotten about you While you read this I hope it makes do And as the time rolls on and we get older Think of me through the letters of a soldier It seems all I do is think about you Longing for your next love letter Waiting is hard to do Things seem to be getting better Until that fateful day I see them get out of the car, and walk my way They look so solemn, tears running down their face I opened the door and I fell to me knees It was your love letter, your last one written to me I shut the front door drowning in my tears I open up your letter, and read my own worst fear So I sit alone and cry And read your final goodbye Think of me, think of me by your side No matter where I go, you’ll always be on my mind And while I’m in this freedom fight I hope you know I’m doing what’s right But as the days grow long And I’m still gone Know I still haven’t forgotten about you While you read this I hope it makes do And as the time rolls on and we get older Think of me through the letters of a soldier And when I’m gone Think of me to help carry on Live through me the spirit of love And know I’m watching over you from above Think of me, think of me…

Always be there That was one thing I said I would always care But she changed her mind insteadTurned her back on what we had It wasn’t much but it was still there Now it’s gone leaving her sad, but me mad Guilt runs through every living being But the word friendship, she didn’t know the meaning With these last words I give you a glance To set things right with one last chance Cherish the moments that pass But with each passing remember That each day spent together May not always last The memories you made may have been good But the memories you made are gone As they slip from reach you wish you could Always be there, but I’ve all ready withdrawn Myself from this guilt and pain Wishing to an extent that we could be friends again To walk away, to shun what we had To leave everything up in the air Not thinking of feelings letting everything go bad Only thinking that he won’t care Just a person in the corner with no sense of heart Unknowingly and slowly everything falls apart But with these last words I give you a glance To set things right with one last chance Cherish the moments that pass But with each passing remember That each day spent together May not always last The memories you made may have been good But the memories you made are gone As they slip from reach you wish you could Always be there, but I’ve all ready withdrawn Myself from this guilt and pain Wishing to an extent that we could be friends again Life is too short to take it for granted Pick and choose wisely as to not be slanted.

Whispers in the dark I hear your voice from afar Dreaming, wishing on the same star? I don’t know you quite yet But I’m all ready in love If only God would let I hold the girl sent to me from above So far away, I don’t know where you are Some days it feels like you are in my heart But you are just someone in my head I dream about you lying in my bed Holding you, loving you There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do Anything at all it seems To find the girl of my dreams It’s a secret who my true love is I only see you while I sleep Sometimes I feel I should just quit But when I see you my heart skips a beat I wake up to a shadow resembling you But in my heart I really knew That you will stay away from me Never know how things could be I wake up to a brand new day Happy, but sad things will never go my way So far away, I don’t know where you are Some days it feels like you are in my heart But you are just someone in my head I dream about you lying in my bed Holding you, loving you There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do Anything at all it seems To find the girl of my dreams Anything…to find the girl of my dreams Written by Matt Submitted by Matt

#dreams

She sits alone every day She catches my eye in every way She seems so lonely, so scared Like she’s never had someone who cared And I could be that somebody Take her hand, walk away, and be free So take a chance Take a glance Into her eyes Taken back to a different place and time See how she cried Every night See how she needs someone to hold her tight Take the tears away Be her man today Show her everything will be all right And love her with all your heart tonight I see her more everyday Trying to find an easier way To walk up to her and talk to her But maybe she will come to me This is the way I would prefer Except that’s not the way it will be So I took a chance, and sat down by her Not so great, but I guess I will learn I say hi, and I finally see her smile Something I haven’t seen in a while So take a chance Take a glance Into her eyes Taken back to a different place and time See how she cried Every night See how she needs someone to hold her tight Take the tears away Be her man today Show her everything will be all right And love her with all your heart tonight Written by Matt Submitted by Matt

Of Somewhere Beautiful Knew I could never hold that girl She was born to see the world All I got is a picture she mailed me Barefoot in the snow white sand A bag of sea shells in her hand She finally found a paradise it seems On the coast of somewhere beautiful Trade winds blowin through her hair Sunlight dancin on the water And I wish I was there Don't know how I'm goin' to find her All I know so far She's on the coast of somewhere beautiful Runnin' with my heart Sometimes when the sun goes down Shadows fall across this little town And I close my eyes and I drift away to another place in another time When the world was ours and she was mine I dream of holdin her again someday On the coast of somewhere beautiful Trade winds blowin through her hair Sunlight dancin on the water And I wish I was there Dont know how I'm gonna find her All I know so far Shes on a coast somewhere beautiful Runnin with my heart Dont know how I'm goin to find her All I know so far Shes on the coast of somewhere beautiful Runnin with my heart Ohh Shes runnin with my heart On the coast of somewhere beautiful Written by Kenny Chesney Submitted by Matt

#coast

I see you over there all alone There is nothing I want more It kills me to see you on your own I make it through the door Our eyes meet, I don’t know what to do Do I walk over and talk to you? Or do I slip away like I always do? I take a step forward, towards her It doesn’t last, I walk away feeling a failure And another end to another day I go to bed and drift away So take my hand, run away with me Let’s run away so we can be free We will live forever, together Now look in my eyes This is not a lie We will be together, forever But our hands are slipping away And the dream begins to fade As I wake up, to another lonely day I wish life was as easy like a dream It would be so easy for you and me The pain inside it would subside And each night wouldn’t end in a cry I make my regretful walk Wishing that we could finally talk But that is all up to me I will be all I can be Until I see you, my mind it fails Now I know I will walk these lonely trails I will stay strong, I’ll over look the past Until you are mine at last So take my hand, run away with me Let’s run away so we can be free We will live forever, together Now look in my eyes This is not a lie We will be together, forever But our hands are slipping away And the dream begins to fade As I wake up, to another lonely day Life has taken a lucky turn I know what true love means I’ve finally learned It’s my time now it seems My true love looks back at me I can’t believe she is finally mine I close my eyes and kiss her for the very first time So take my hand, run away with me Let’s run away so we can be free We will live forever, together Her hand in mine held tight Holding on with all my might Never letting go, holding on forever Written by Matt Submitted by Matt

#another, #lonely

The thoughts of you come running at me Is it possible for us to be? We try and try, we’ve said our goodbyes But we keep running back to each other Hoping and praying we can be together We work through this and that Hoping and praying we can be back Together, forever in each other’s arms Holding each other tightly, always holding on We’ve been through this, it’s just too hard Our life seems incomplete when the other one is gone But we hold on to love because it is in our hearts We can’t imagine our lives apart So I hold onto you as though you will forever be mine Never letting go as if it’s the last time Why does this have to be so complicated? Why can’t we say we finally made it? We’ve worked to hard to say goodbye And I can’t imagine another tear filled night Alone in my bed wondering where you are Wondering if maybe we are looking at the same star Dreaming and hoping we will be together again some day Finally a shooting star has fallen my way Together, forever in each other’s arms Holding each other tightly, always holding on We’ve been through this, it’s just too hard Our life seems incomplete when the other one is gone But we hold on to love because it is in our hearts We can’t imagine our lives apart So I hold onto you as though you will forever be mine Never letting go as if it’s the last time If I had known it may have been the last time The last time I would kiss you, I would never have stopped If I had known it may have been the last time The last time I would hold you, I would never have let go and gone Together, forever in each other’s arms Holding each other tightly, always holding on We’ve been through this, it’s just too hard Our life seems incomplete when the other one is gone But we hold on to love because it is in our hearts We can’t imagine our lives apart So I hold onto you as though you will forever be mine Never letting go as if it’s the last time Submitted by Matt
