Let It Grow

The Meligrove Band Let It Grow Lyrics

2.Now Look What You've Done

My dear now look at what you've done
Were you only thinking of number one
You never stop to consider numbers two and three
You never stop to consider your mother and me
Now in a few days
You'll be on a plane flying miles away from me
You're stationed overseas

And now that you've signed the dotted line
Is it really too late to change your mind
You should really think it over if it's not too late
You should really think it over for your own sake
Your mother's a mess
But she'll get it together, now do what's best for you
And maybe this country of ours too

We always knew you'd leave
But we never thought the day would come so soon
It's so hard to believe
That the day has come to live on without you
And we shouldn't ever have to


3.Check Your Messages

Yeah she needs it
Well she needs you to need her the way that she wants to be
needed

A while ago you used to call me nightly on the phone
You were always telling me that we should spend some time alone
B-b-baby you got bad to the bone

Now you don't return my calls, I haven't seen you in a while
And you're working your way up on someone else's speed dial
You probably tell him all the things you told me
Playing hearts like cards - baby you're the queen

If I turn my back now I can walk away
I'd never look back with nothing left to say

Yeah she needs it
Well she needs you to need her the way that she wants to be
needed

Well you never were a gambler and I know you hate to lose
So you'll probably want me back as soon as you get the news
That even if you want me now, there's no use


4.Before We Arrive

I poured resolve in a bottle and drank it up
I saw no need for a cup
When I got to the bottom I grinned at the very last drop
And it told me to wait 'til the minute hand makes it around
Turn it over and upside down
'Til the time reads the same as it did when you decided to let
me down

Sunshine...

I scaled you down to a map that's not to size
We plot the lows and the highs
'Til the destination reaches us before we arrive
And we exit to five, four, three, two
Wonder if we're minding the cues

6.Along Comes A Smile

I bet you wish now
You'd given yourself twenty extra minutes
Now you wallow in the regrets and stare at the floor
Wishing life had more of you doing less

You're not sure what it's all for
But stop a while
Along comes a smile

Oh what a system
You can't beat them, get up and go to work
Give in like a jerk, give in to get out

You're not sure what it's all for
But stop a while
Along comes a smile


7.Really, Really, Really

There's no one else like you
It's true
It's really, really, really, really true
My heart belongs to only you
Because you love me the way you do
We'll be sleeping in and traveling

I can't dream a dream a dream and not dream you
It's true
It's really, really, really, really true
I look forward to life where there is you
What a thing to say, but truly my dear I do
We'll buy groceries and have bite to eat
Oh, why live for today, when you can live forever

Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow

I can't think a thought that is not you
It's true It's really, really, really, really true
That is not a thought to misconstrue
Put plainly, all I'll ever want is you
We'll be sleeping in and traveling
Oh, why live for today, when you can live forever

Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow
Line your dreams up in a row and follow them so far, oh
Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow


8.Day After Margaret

I keep trying hard to leave
But you keep pulling at my sleeve
And now I know why

Sun did dance and birds did sing
'Cause leaving you was the greatest thing
And now you know too


9.Take Me To The Sun

I see a big fat star in the sky,
It's got our name written along the side.
It seems like things are looking up.
I guess it helps when nothing's ever good enough.
We built a house on a bad foundation,
Now it collapsed into new motivation.

Well here it is
We'll let it all hang out
We're getting warmer,
It's getting hotter.

Now take me to the sun
We're getting louder,
We're getting closer.
We're ready for the sun

I see a big fat star in the sky,
It's got our name written along the side.
It seems like things are looking up.
I guess it helps when nothing's ever good enough.

You give it time, it'll give you no guarantees.
You give it love, it'll give you false hopes and dreams.
Now give it wings, and it'll get you around.

We're getting warmer,
It's getting hotter.
Now take me to the sun


10.Different Ship

You were a man that had it all,
Now you've thrown it all away.
You let a little of the inside out,
Something we weren't ready to see.
Pick it up and don't drop it.
Hurry up and don't let us down,
'Cause if you can bait it, we will bite it.
Or at least for now,
You saved a dime, spent a dollar.
But you'll pay for it all eventually.
Collected interest on your interest,
In taking it personally.
You took a little too much of other people's advice but you
claimed it was free.
Eventually you let a little of the inside out, something we
weren't ready to see.
Put your hands in your pockets
Hang your head and leave this town
'Cause you've given the reason, your bait's out of season
Mr. green, don't turn your back around
You sailed away on a different ship,
You sailed away..
You taught yourself to run,
You never learned to hide.
Now if you slip,
You won't be hard to find
