World Wide Open

Love And Theft World Wide Open Lyrics
1.World Wide Open

I need to move, I need to breathe
Shake the things that pull on me
Holding me down, slowing me down
I need to run, I need to fight
Let go of the things that I am holding onto
Maybe I need you

Just open up my eyes so I can see
It's always been there right
in front of me

Roads...which one will I take?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
Marks...which one will I make?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open

Everyday's an open page
A brand new start, a fresh clean slate
Given to me
Now it's up to me
Buy my best and lose my worst
Try to heal the things I've hurt
I know need you, I know I need you
Make my mistakes
and leave them in the past
Make the most of every chance I have
Roads...which one will I take?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
Marks...which one will I make?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
And when you grab it
by the handles and dream
As its spilling over me
As its spilling over me...
Roads...which one will I take?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
Marks...which one will I make?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
Roads...which one will I take?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open
Marks...which one will I make?
There's a world wide open
This world wide open


2.Runaway

It's been a long week,
I've got a slow leak in my left front tire
I'm sick of where I work,
my boss is such a jerk,
don't care if I get fired
My back's about to break,
no money in the bank,
and she don't call me anymore
I'm down to my last ring,
it's time to sell my things

And pack my bags, and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
And make my getaway
I put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
Leave everybody sleeping
in this sleepy town tonight
And at the break of day, I'll be a runaway

A hundred miles in,
I got a stupid grin on my scruffy face
With every cigarette, I'm burning my regrets
Don't want to leave a trace
And from the rearview,
I got a clear view, of who I used to be
A little bit faster now,
don't wanna turn around
I'm gonna pack my bags, and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks,
and make my getaway
I put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
Leave everybody sleeping
in this sleepy town tonight
And at the break of day, I'll be a runaway
I'll be a runaway
It's crazy, I know,
to count on this road and give me what I need
But with every state line,
somehow I find, another part of me
Yeah, yeah

I'm gonna pack my bags, and never look back
Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks,
and make my getaway
I put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
Leave everybody sleeping
in this sleepy town tonight
And at the break of day, I'll be a runaway
I'll be a runaway
I'll be a runaway


3.Dancing In Circles

I don't understand why we do
what we do to each other
According to His Word,
we're all born sisters and brothers
But we live and we still
We lie and we kill
Even though we know the way...
Why do we go dancin' in circles?
When we know it never ends
We come so close to loving each other and then
We go dancin' in circles again

All through the ages we've tried to
share this world together
We turning the pages
Pretending we'll live here forever
We'll come to face our Maker someday
And we'll put his stone on the way
Why do we go dancin' in circles?
When we know it never ends
We come so close to loving each other and then
We go dancin' in circles again
We know how so why can't we just get along
And I pray someday we'll overcome
All the damage we've done
And we'll find...

Why do we go dancin' in circles?
When we know it never ends
We come so close
So close to living His lamb
Loving each other like sisters
and brothers and then
We go dancin' in circles again

Oh...yeah


4.It's Up To You

Right now you got it made
Got everybody fooled
Got everything you want
It's all about you
No one's figured out
That all your lies are true

Hey, whatcha gonna do
When the whole world
Turns around on you
Hey, whatcha gonna say
When the bombs you're
Throwing
Start heading your way
I've tried to be the friend
The friend you've never been
But I'm running out of things
To do
I can't change the way you are
It's up to you, it's up to you

I see you standing there
A rock in your hand
Before you throw that thing
You need to understand
That this house is made of glass
So get out while you can
Yeah, Yeah
Hey, whatcha gonna do
When the whole world
Turns around on you
Hey, whatcha gonna say
When the bombs you're
Throwing
Start heading your way
I've tried to be the friend
The friend you've never been
But I'm running out of things
To do
I can't change the way you are
It's up to you
The tide is coming in
Let me know, when you're
Ready to begin
I'm here, I've known you
Much to long
To give up now

Hey, whatcha gonna do
When the whole world
Turns around on you
Hey, whatcha gonna say
When the bombs you're
Throwing
Start heading your way
I've tried to be the friend
The friend you've never been
But I'm running out of things
To do
I can't change the way you are
It's up to you, it's up to you

Hey whatcha gonna do
When the whole world
Turns around on you
Hey, whatcha gonna say
When the bombs you're
Throwing
Start heading your way
Hey, whatcha gonna do


5.You To Miss

Some people try to hide
They try to move on
Can't stand the pain of you gone
but baby that's not me
I'd never try to ease the ache
that I feel the pain
Reminds me how real this love has come to be
And Im not running scared
I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be
And I don't want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't want to cry
But tears are part of life
they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

Some people try to fake
They don't feel this
Can't stand to face the realness
so they just run away oh,
But I want nothing more than you to hold me
So intimately know me
So I'll hurt along the way
And I'm not running scared
I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be
And I don't want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't want to cry
But tears are part of life
they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

And it could never hurt so bad
that I would trade the love we have
And it could never cut so deep
that I would never want to leave
And I don't want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't want to cry
But tears are part of life
they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss
I'm so glad, my love
that I have you to miss
and I'm glad my love
that I have you to miss


6.Can't Go Back


7.Don't Wake Me

You took your heart
And broke down the wall
Even though I thought that I had seen it all
The waters still.
It looks so clear
Im gonna get lost inside it, I will disappear
But now I only wanna hide away
Don't wake me I'm in deep
Don't break me I feel weak
I've tasted now I'm wasted and I can't let go
Your love is all I wanna know

And I pray beyond the stars
That you and me will stay just like we are
And I don't care if its all a dream
But that's where I am and where I wanna be
But now I only wanna hide away
Don't wake me I'm in deep
Don't break me I feel weak
I've tasted now I'm wasted and I can't let go
Your love is all I wanna know

And I can promise you anything
Cause I don't know what love's gonna bring
So stay with me in this dream
Cause when I come around when I come around
All might be another way
Don't wake me I'm in deep
Don't break me I feel weak
I've tasted now I'm wasted and I can't let go
Your love is all I wanna know

You took your heart
And broke down the wall
Even though I thought that I had seen it all


8.Freedom

I cover my eyes as the
Sun's pouring in
No, I never thought
Last night would end
And there's smoke in the house
I woke up on the couch again

I got nowhere to go and
No one to see
The birds out my window are
Singing to me
And I don't know their song
So I hum along out of key
And this place sure feels haunted
I guess I got what I wanted
Freedom

This three dollar coffee
It sure tastes like hell
But I don't have to answer to
Anyone else
I just sit here in peace
Till I wanna leave,oh well

And I'm here without you
Where I wanted to be
I guess I got what was
Coming to me
Freedom, freedom

Me and the dreamers
Burning up the midnight sky
Foolish believers
Throw it all away and
Wave goodbye

I open my eyes as the
Sun's going down
All by myself
There's nobody around

So this is freedom, so this is
Freedom
This is freedom, this is freedom
This is free


9.Slow Down

Life I need to talk to you
Can you spare a minute
just tell me what to do
I'm trying to climb this hill
I can feel you pass me by
like I'm standing still
The things I gotta do
I'm feeling you leaving me behind
And I know I don't wanna go
down this road alone
and I'm running out of time
So slow down you're losing me
And I can't see what you want me to be
So slow down cause all I know is that
I can't go as fast
as you've got me spinning round
I'm barely hanging on, slow down
Life the moments pass me by
Memories that I can't keep
as hard as I may try
Life you're so beautiful
I wish it wasn't so
but I can only stay until
You say I gotta go
God only knows when that's gonna be
With all my might I'm trying to
keep up with you
Now you're running away from me
So slow down you're losing me
And I can't see what you want me to be
So slow down cause all I know is that
I can't go as fast
as you've got me spinning round
I'm barely hanging on, slow down

So slow down you're losing me
And I can't see what you want me to be
So slow down cause all I know is that
I can't go as fast
as you've got me spinning round
as you've got me spinning round
I'm barely hanging on, slow down


10.Me Without You

Like a thundercloud without a chance of rain
Like a stretch of sandy beach without the waves
It's like I'm spinning my wheels
Down a lonely interstate...
Me Without You

It's a picture perfect sky without a view
It's an empty seat at a table for two
It's having all the time in the world
And nothing to do...
Me Without You

I've been loving you so long
I'm a leaf lost in the wind
I want to be so strong
But I don't know how to begin
So I keep holding on
Cause I don't know what else to do
I try to be, but I'm not me
Without you

It's a beautiful song to be sung
But nowhere to sing
It's this beat up old guitar missing a string
It's me calling in the middle of the night
And it just rings
Me without you

I've been loving you so long
I'm a leaf lost in the wind
I want to be so strong
But I don't know how to begin
So I keep holding on
Cause I don't know what else to do
I try to be, but I'm not me
Without you

Baby, tonight I'm gonna light your favorite candles
And open a bottle of my favorite Spanish wine
Gonna listen to the song that
we made love to the first time
It's all I can do
It's all I can do...
I've been loving you so long
I'm a leaf lost in the wind
I want to be so strong
But I don't know how to begin
So I keep holding on
Cause I don't know what else to do
I try to be, but I'm not me
Without you
I can try to be, but I'm not me without you.


11.Drowning

Searching for something, can't seem to find
The blood on your fingers, still on my mind
And I just wish I could forgive you

Walking for days now, there's nowhere to go
Chasing horizons, being alone
I don't know where I should run to

Let the sun rise on me and never fade away
So save me I'm drowning alive
And keep me from dying inside
I only want to find my way back home
But I can't make it alone

Caught in a landslide with nowhere to hide
Chasing distractions empty inside
I'm still waiting for salvation
Let the sun light lift me and never fade away

So save me I'm drowning alive
And keep me from dying inside
I only want to find my way back home
But I can't make it alone
No I can't make it alone

I've got to hold on, I've got to be strong
Can't give up now, I've got to move on
I've got nothing left, so show me the way
I don't think I'm gonna last one more day
So save me I'm drowning alive
And keep me from dying inside
I only want to find my way back home
But I can't make it alone
I'll never make it alone
I'll never make it alone
