Song lyrics

Send "Tiger Lily" ringtones to your cell

we drive tonight,
and you are by my side.
We're talking about our lives,
like we've known each other forever.
the time flies by,
with the sound of your voice.
its close to paradise,
with the end surely near.
and if i could only stop the car
and hold onto you,
and never let go...
i'll never let go.
as we round the corner
to your house
you turned to me and said,
"i'll be going through withdrawl of you for this one night we have spent."
and, i want to speak these words
but i guess i'll just bite my tongue,
and accept "someday, somehow"
as the words that we'll hang from.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

why does tonite, have to end?
why don't we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
we'll skip the goodbyes.
if i had it my way,
i'd turn the car around and runaway,
just you and i.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.

and i... i don't want to speak these words.
cause i, i don't want to make things
and i...i dont wanna make things any worse

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I met this guy in summer school back in the day when I was actually in high school.. we were both in a relationship at the time, and didn't get to know each other.. but knew we had a little something.. talked for a little bit... but eventually we ended up going our seperate ways.. well 5 years later I run into him, and he has another girlfriend now... but the connection was so strong.. and I know there was a reason I ran into him again.. we hung out for one whole day.. and it was amazing.. he's all I ever wanted in a guy.. he's so simple and sweet, and considerated, and sincere.... and when I was driving him home, I thought about this song... and I've never in my whole life had a song come more close to the truth...... I'll be going through withdrawl of you for this one night we have spent and so is my life.....

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i really love this song. i desperately love the lyrics because i cant explain how much i can relate to them! Ive been in the exact same position. I really can relate to all of their lyrics, it freaks me out sometimes. My new favourite band!
