Born to Fly Lyrics

here are lyrics for the born to fly cd!

[tweingardt]

Born to fly

I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
'bout the places that I'd like to see
I say friend do you think I'll ever get there,
Oh,but he just stands there smiling back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been praying to find
Is there a brown eyed boy in my future? Ya
And he says girl you've got nothing but time

But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that were you were born
You were born to fly

My daddy he is grounded like the oak-tree
My mamma she is steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks
But I keep staring down the road,
Just looking for my one chance to run

Hey, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander wild and free.

Ohhhhhh
How do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born yeah.......
You were born to fly

(Instrumental Break)

So how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born, you were born
You were born to fly, fly, fly ,fly

Heyyyyy
Ooooooooo

(Instrumental)

Saints & Angels

We're only human baby
We walk on broken ground.
We lose our way.
We come unwound.

We're turning circles, baby.
We're never satisfied.
We fall from grace; forget we can fly.
But through all the tears that we cry.
We'll survive.

'Cause when we're torn apart,
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us.
We're just two tarnished hearts.
But in each other's arms.
We become saints and angels.

I love your imperfections.
I love your everything.
Your broken heart,
Your broken wings.

I love you when you hold me,
And when you turn away, I love you still.
And I'm not afraid.
'Cause I know you feel the same way.
And you'll stay.

'Cause when we're torn apart,
Shattered and scarred.
Love has the grace to save us.
We're just two tarnished hearts.
But in each other's arms.
We become saints and angels.

These feet of clay,
They will not stray.

'Cause when we're torn apart,
Shattered and scarred.
Love has the grace to save us.
We're just two tarnished hearts.
But in each other's arms.
We become saints and angels.
(Saints and angels, saints and angels, saints and angels, cont.)

I Could Not Ask for More

Lying here with you
Listenin' to the rain
Smilin' just to see
The smile upon your face

These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seein' all I need
Everything you are
Is everything in me

These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I've had's come true.
Yeah, right here in this moment,
Is right where I'm meant to be,
Here with you, Here with me ... yeah yeah

These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I've had's come true.
Yeah, right here in this moment,
Is right where I'm meant to be,
Oh Here with you, Here with me.
No I could not ask for more than this love you gave me,
Cause it's all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.
No, yeah yeah yeah
No I could not ask for more
Huh-ah Huh-ah Huh-ah Huh-ah yea-h

I Keep looking

"That cracks me up!" ...laughter...

Back when I was young
Couldn't wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain't it funny how
I've been trying to get back home
Yeah

When my low self-esteem needs a man-loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends having wild weekends
And I don't wanna be quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good, but could be better!

Chorus:
I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more

Well the straight-haired girls, they all want curls
And the brunettes wanna be blonde
It's your typical thing
You've got yin, you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, "Hey! It's only human to never be satisfied."
Well I guess that I'm as human as the next one, oh

Chorus(x1)

(Instrumental)

Yaaaaaa......

(Instrumental)

Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey,Good is good, but could be better!

Chorus (x1)

Oh,I'm looking for something more
(I keep looking, I keep looking,I keep looking)
Yeah
(Oh I keep looking, keep looking,I keep looking)
Hey yeah
(Oh I keep looking,I keep looking,I keep looking)
I'm just looking for something more
(cont.)

I Learned that from you

I remember the windows rolled down
And the wind in my hair
Driving round in your daddy's old chevy
Like we were goin' some where
We thought that summer
would last us forever
Goin' steady was just somethin' you do
I didn't know
Much about love
I learned that from you.

Now those were some good times
but lately they don't seem to last
And I guess I'm not nearly as strong
as the drink in your glass
And the nights just get later
I could stay up and wait or
just go on to bed like I do
I never knew nothing about lonely
I learned that from you.

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishin' wells and I fell
into that fairy tale too
Oh I learned that from you.

And now I know that love ain't so easy *
but we tried didn't we baby. It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you

One night while the whole world was turnin'
I left you a note
And I told you that I'd always miss you, then I let you go.
I'm livin' out side of some town I ain't heard of
and I think about the boy that I knew
I didn't know you could fall out of love,
I learned that from you.

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishin wells and I fell
into that fairy tale too.

Repeat *

I remember the windows rolled down and the wind...

Let's Dance

Baby, hold my hand
Show me you're my man
Take me to that land
Where we can be crazy
'Cause this old world gets tough
And when I've had enough
I need to know your love
Will be here to save me
Save me!

Let's dance!
While the lights are shining bright
Let's dance
While the music's feeling right
Romance
Until the night is through
You'll be holding me, yeah
And I'll be holding you
Let's dance

I wanna feel your touch
You know I love you so much
Maybe with a little luck our world will turn slower
'Cause we've been moving so fast
Seems life is flying past
Can we make this moment last
I wanna remember
Remember!

Let's dance!
While the lights are shining bright
Let's dance
While the music's feeling right
Romance
Until the night is through
You'll be holding me, yeah
And I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Oh, let's dance

Oh, baby- just say yes!
I've got this brand-new dress
This night could change our lives forever
Yeah, let's dance

Oh, romance
Until the night is through
You'll be holding me, yeah
And I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Yeah, let's dance
Baby, baby, baby, let's dance
Oh, hold me, love me, show me
Baby, baby, let's dance!

Why Should I Care

ohh
Why should I care if you
Found somebody new
And you look like you're in love

And why should I care if she
Looks a lot like me
And she's all you've ever dreamed of

I didn't care enough to keep you around
So tell me why should I care now

I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I loved you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care
I just do

So why should I care if I meant nothing in your eyes
What you felt for me is gone
Oh, oh, and why would I feel that way
Now that's it's too late to change what I did wrong

Oh, I didn't care enough to keep you around
So baby, tell me why should I care now

I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I loved you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care
Well, I just do

Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care
I just do
Yeah
I just do
Baby, I just do
ohhhh . . .

Four-Thirty

It's been so long ~ I should be used to this by now
Loneliness that keeps comin back around
The moon on my window, oh casts a different light
On all these memories that keep me up tonight

Hey I know just what I need
Thats you and in a hurry
If I got on the road right now
I'd see ya at 4:30...
Hey I...

Think I have about ~ Sixty miles of gasoline left in my car
Theres an all night truck stop ~ Yeah bet I could get that far
I just close my eyes and smell the coffee in the air
I'll fill my cup, If you wait up, I'll soon be there

Hey, I'm letting go
So, baby don't you worry
Wheels on ground, I won't slow down
I'll see ya at 4:30..
Hey I..yea...Hey I...

I won't allow my mind to talk me out of this
Pass every exit sign, cause thats the way it is

Hey, Im letting go
So, baby dont you worry
Wheels on ground, I wont slow down
I'll see ya...yea..
Hey I know just what I need
That's you and in a hurry
Oh wheels on ground, I won't slow down
I'll see ya... at 4:30..
Hey I...Yea...Hey I...Oh oh..oh oh oh ohhh...

Hey I...Yea...
Hey I...Yea
Hey I...Oh oh...oh oh oh ohhh
Hey I...Hey I...Hey I...

[tweingardt]

Show me the way to your heart

I've been trying to break down your walls
But I don't know how to get through
You say that you want me
You say that you need me
But baby, I need more from you

You gotta take my hand and
Lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
Just show me the way to your heart

I know it's hard for you to trust again
But you've just got to believe
I will never lie to you
and I will never hurt you
Baby I'm asking, please

You gotta take my hand and
Lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
Just show me the way to your heart

You think you've locked your heart away
Baby, I hold the key
Believe me when I say my love can set you free

Take my hand and
Lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
Just show me the way to your heart

Take my hand and
Lead me to where you are
Baby
You know I'll follow
Just show me the way to your heart

[tweingardt]

You Don't

You don't know what you do
When you look at me that way
You don't how my heart breaks
Everytime you say my name
You don't see all the tears
That I cry in the dark
You don't hear how I pray
That you're safe when we're apart
Everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul

You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
Hey

And everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul

You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
But you don't

[tweingardt]

Every Little Kiss

Way out here working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Oh, what would I do
Without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
Oh, what would I do now
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight

When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one

Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's alright with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh, I let my mind wander
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight

When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one
