Howie Day, At The Stars

Maybe I should drop you at you door
and leave tonight and vanish up the shore
anywhere but here
it's three o'clock i'm driving in your car
your screaming at the window at the stars
please don't drive me home

blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
I've already learned enough to know that...

tell me all the places we can go
you count the headlights passing on the road
a long long time ago

blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
I've already learned enough to know that...

here here we are foreign to their world
straight and composed
your sermons I can do without
I've finally found that
everybody loves to love you
when you're far away

could it be we've done something wrong
i'll make it back to your place before dawn
please don't drive me home
please don't take me home

blame us cause we are who we are
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose that you would go
I've already learned enough to know that...

Howie Day, I Do

I got a letter today
An invitation
And the writing looked like you
"Hello, how are you?
And by the way, please RSVP "I do"'
I thought of writing the sad words
Of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby
I'll wear the thorn of crowns
I will play the clown

You think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter now anyway
Couldn't bear to see you up there
With the white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away

I remember when
In a lover's whisper you said,
No other man would ever share your bed
Well we both know that's not been so
I wish I'd never let you go
Now you found a better man instead
I wish you health and wealth
And a white house on a hill
And I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl
A little more joy in this little old world
Well that'll be enough for me

You think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter anyway
Couldn't bear to see you up there
With the white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away

Time rolls on
Dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures
I have of you and I
And if you're ever wondering
If love can be true
Think of me
Remember darling
Like I, like I do

Old friendships fade away
Love falls apart
And you've not spent
a single day outside my heart
But there's just one more dream
That I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says
I do... I do... I do

Howie Day, So, Goodbye

He falls asleep against her door
She comes apart sometimes
I think of what a good thing it was before her
And how overrated it seemed

Sometime, I had enough of giving up on you
Not like we were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye

Take a walk down on the street
I try and come back down
I think of what a good thing it was before me
How it just, it disappeared
It seemed like it was in a dream

I've had enough of giving up on you
Not like we were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye

No way out
Like I could tear you apart
Nowhere to run
Well I can tell you it's not for you, for you

He falls asleep against her door
She comes apart sometimes
I think of what a good thing it was before her
And how overrated, overrated it seemed

I've had enough of giving up on you
Not like you were before
Did enough, I couldn't lie to you
But you made it sound like I was
So goodbye
So goodbye

Oh yea
No way out
I could tear you apart
No way out, yeah yeah

Howie Day, Come Lay Down

Come lay down at the edge
Come lay down at the broken edge
Come lay down at the feet of angels
Eyeing you in a northern sky

Come lay down at the end
Come lay down where the times suspended
Come lay down and hear the voices
Calling you from a northern sky

Follow me and don't look down You're alright
Come with me and forget you're high
It's alright in all

Your eyes are open and singing
Your eyes are open
And not quite breathing
Your eyes are open
You're seeing things
That I can't see as hard as I try

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,

Don't look down
Keep your eyes off the ground
So afraid
These days will fall
Like tears down your face

Follow me and don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright
And alright,
Follow me don't look down
You're alright
Come with me forget you're high
It's alright,alright

Howie Day, Slow Down

An actress
Sooner the better for me
You should know by now
I'm not your friend
You're reveled up
You take some time to come undone
You look so tired
I know your type
You storm out
And tear the walls,
The portraits down
It's what you wanted
It's how we are

Take it or leave it
Slow down slow down
I can stay awake for you
If you can stay awake for me
You're broken to break down
Slow down slow down
I'm not so sure
So wait and see

I wake up
Girlfriend I'm on your floor
You should know by now
I'm not so mad
It's go time
You're barely dressed
But fully on
Your painted eyes
You look so tired

I don't think I can trust love anymore
I don't think I can trust love anymore
