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

503 posts	i was really trying to think about weather or not this boys actually cared about me....and i listened to this song and wondered..."would he sing that to me?"....well the answer was no, so now every time i think about going back to him i just think of this song and how everyone should have someone to sing this song too, and who will sing it back and really mean it.

27 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is so pretty. It's really sad, but it reminds me of every good-bye I've had to say to my boyfriend. Long distance definately sucks and this song kind of captures what it feels like to say good-bye when you really can't bear to walk away. I love Matchbook Romance! I get to see them in concert soon too. Haha don't be too jealous..
