I was innocent to smile I never meant to hide But if I’m guilty of the love I have inside Give me 20 years to life with you Convict me without trial Don’t make the sentence mild Cuff me up and hold me for a while No Parole; denial with you Well the Jury’s out, you can judge my brief Let me take the stand so I can plead Let me testify, let me prove what I mean You can lock me up and lose the keys It was an innocent hello (hello) That lead to no control The way I feel is criminal I know Let the record show for you I rest my case Don’t object my love There’s no reasonable doubt Intent to stay, if I’m enough to sway somehow The Jury’s out, you can judge my brief Let me take the stand so I can plead Let me testify, let me prove what I mean You can lock me up and lose the keys I was innocent to smile I never meant to hide But if I’m guilty of the love I have inside Give me 20 years to life with you (20 years to life) Give me 20 years to life with you (20 years to life) 20 years to life with you

Right here and all at once I was flying And well on my way But last year it seems I've wasted my time And thrown some away Maybe the wheel of luck might break Maybe there's no such thing as fate And if I've already lost this race Trying to dream while I'm still awake It's my mistake Right here I know we've said our goodnights In the middle of the day Last year and almost at the same time But I see how things change Maybe the wheel of love might break Maybe the feeling just might fade But if I've already been replaced Before I could be the one who could save It's my mistake I'm deceived it was just too good to be true to me Right here and all at once I'll decide n'it'll all fall in place It's clear it seems the choice is still mine But a hard one to make Maybe the wheel of life might break Maybe the best years passed my way but if they've already been erased before I could cease the rest of the day It's my mistake It’s my mistake Maybe the wheel of luck might break Maybe there's no such thing as fate And if I've already lost this race Trying to dream while I'm still awake Maybe the wheel of love might break (wheel of love might break) Maybe the feeling just might fade (feeling just might fad) But if I've already been replaced (I’ve already been replaced) Before I could be the one who could save It's my mistake Cause I'm deceived it was just too good to be true to me I believed That the best is yet to be While I’m awake It’s my mistake

Lead Me On 03:41
When I’m too close to you I do silly things I normally wouldn’t do I get caught up this feeling I cannot shake That’s why I act this way What I’m supposed to do Keep my composure, but instead I come unglued My tongue get twisted with the words I try to say That’s why I talk this way But if you find the things I do and say are sweet If there’s a chance that you might feel something for me Then let me know that there might ever be a day So, lead me on Or walk away If I’m too old for you If I were younger, you would notice, wouldn’t you? And feel the hunger where you couldn’t turn away And you’d look my way But you know I find the things you do and say are sweet There’s a chance that I could fall in love too deep Let me know if you might ever feel the same Just lead me on Or walk away Just lead me on Or walk away Just lead me on o Or walk away and let me know how it’ll be Don’t keep me guessing on my toes or on my feet Down the road if you should ever get my way Just lead me on Or walk away (Da da da da da da da da da) Just walk away (Da da da da da da da da da) Walk away (Da da da da da da da da da da da)

I’d love one more talk I’d love one more laugh But time slips by so fast Here we are as the day go past We’ve given up things we can’t get back There’s so many things I wished I would have known Now that you’re gone I’d love one more tank That’s all filled with gas So, you can drive me ‘round for one more pass Don’t drop me off, don’t you drive too fast Let’s take one more ride, let’s take one more lap There’s so many places I wished we could have gone But now that you’re gone Every unkept promise you’ve made Those will never happen again Now that you’re gone Everything I wished I could change Let’s start the story over, but let’s fix those broken things I’d love one more walk Or a few steps back One more hour is all I ask You wouldn’t have to speak, you could just relax I know I’ve said some things and I could take them back There’s so many words I wished I would have told Now that you’re gone Now that you’re gone (Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone (Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone (Now that you’re gone) Every unkept promise you’ve made Those will never happen again (No) Everything I wished I could change Let’s start the story over, but let’s fix those broken things I’d love one more block Of newspaper stacks And though the ink can turn my fingers black Well the headline stings, but the worst is past I’ll take one more read from the front to the back There’s so many words I wished I’ve never known There’s so many times I wished that you were home There’s so much of you I wished I would have known Now that you’re gone

There was a ring around my finger and it fit tight I guess my hand has grown and tan cause that part’s white And all the years I tried to wear it felt real hard But if you look, you’ll see the lines, you’ll feel the marks I can still see all those missing picture frames The sun has faded all the paint where they would hang And all the clothes you used to, buy they're missing too Empty closets, but the room still smells like you I’m living with your ghost I’m never quite alone that way Now my heart is always broke The feeling never goes away I check the mail and still the cards come in your name It’s another year that your address still hasn’t changed
 This old house feels pretty empty and it feels cold And every room brings back those memories of you home I’m living with your ghost I’m never quite alone that way Now my heart is always broke The feeling never goes away It’s so quiet in the night and through the days But I can still hear all the things that you would say I make the bed and try to sleep all through the night Yet I’m careful not to wake up on your side I’m living with your ghost I’m never quite alone that way Now my heart is always broke The feeling never goes away Away There was a ring around my finger and it fit tight I guess my hand has grown and tan cause that part’s white
