They say when you leave this world and pass through the pearly gates
The sun’ll be shining down on streets made of gold
And time won’t mean a thing, nobody has to go away,
And hate ain’t a thing anymore
It sounds so perfect, but I hope it takes a lifetime to get there
Heaven can wait as long as I’m holding you
Every night I pray and thank God twice for giving me the only thing I can’t lose
Oh, I’ll take every second I can get
Till every kiss is on your lips, and we ain’t got nothing left to give
Wanna love you slow
We got a long way to go
Heaven can wait
On this side of the clouds it’s a hell of a view
It’s all blues eyes and blue skies waking up next to you
And I never ever really worried about forever
But loving you’s got me thinking things I swore I’d never
Heaven can wait as long as I’m holding you
Every night I pray and thank God twice for giving me the only thing I can’t lose
Oh, I’ll take every second I can get
Until every kiss is on your lips, and we ain’t got nothing left to give
Wanna love you slow
We got a long way to go
Heaven can wait
Don’t want to miss a thing
The good, bad, in-between
If God’s really listening…
I hope heaven can wait as long as I’m holding you
Every night I pray and thank God twice for giving me the only thing I can’t lose
Oh, I’ll take every second I can get
Until every kiss is on your lips, and we ain’t got nothing left to give
Wanna love you slow
We got a long way to go
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait

Three weeks and thirteen days
And my heart's still finding new ways to break
And that Florida magnet’s still holding onto your picture
Like that’ll bring ya back
Still smell your perfume on the sheets
Head spinning staring up at the ceiling
By 2am, I’m up again
Drowning in the bottom of a whiskey glass
But I got a fifth half full
And another night to kill your memory
I try to blame you
But God knows I’m my own worst enemy
Could put it on ice, save it for a rainy day
Without you, where would that get me?
I'd still have a fifth half full
And a heart half empty
Stopped leaving that porch light on
In case you came walking back through the door
Stopped checking my phone every time that it lights up
Like it’s you saying goodnight
Just taking it one day at a time
A little more living, a little less rewind
Learning to let you go
And finding a little hope in a
Fifth half full
Could waste another night killing your memory
I try to blame you
God knows I been my own worst enemy
I’ll put it on ice, save it for a rainy day
Without you, the last thing I need is a fifth half full...
So I’ll pour one more round
Before I pour it down
Baby, here’s to you…
I got a fifth half full
Ain't wasting one more night killing your memory
I can try to blame you
God knows I been my own worst enemy
I could put it on ice, save it for a rainy day
But without you, I’m starting to see
I gotta fifth half full
And a heart a little less empty

Rolling like a stone on this desert highway
No place I gotta be
Just a dotted line and the the hood of a '68
Stretched out in front of me
Yeah, since you been gone
I’ve been moving on
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
There’s a bar in Tesuque and a girl named Ruby I used to know
There’s a house out under the edge of the sun that ain’t got no phone
Out where nothing rings
If you wanna find me, I’ll be...
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
500 miles, a tank full of gas
Baby, just like that
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
Baby, you can have your space

I learned the hard way
I took the long way around
Lost like another face in the crowd
Had to get out
So I took a one way
The wrong way down every avenue
Just like they told me not to do
And damn, it’s a hell of a view
Going it alone, burning miles out there looking for me
I don’t care who I’m supposed to be
Headed down a less-traveled road
Finding my way back home
Back where I started from
Before the noise ever got to me
And I was the only one I was trying to be
Yeah, that kinda free
The kind you’re born with
Until you give into all that growing up
Back when the real you was more than enough
Well, I’m waking up
Still turning stones, burning miles out there looking for me
Ain’t lost or found, just somewhere in between
Making this one-lane road my own
And finding my way back home
Going it alone, burning miles out there looking for me
Still don't give a damn who they want me to be
Headed down a less-traveled road
I’m finding my way back
Home…
Turning stones, burning miles out there looking for me
They chase the radio and I'll chase the dream
While they're living and dying by their stereo
I’m finding my way back home
Oh yeah
Finding my way back home

We’ve been trying to make this work for way too long
We’ve stolen better back from worse
And turn right back into wrong
And when it’s good, there ain’t no coming down
But maybe good just ain't enough to keep us together now
Girl, it is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, and we ain’t gonna change
Maybe we could make it
But this kind of situation don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you, girl
It is what it is
‘Meant to be’ ain’t supposed to be this damn hard
We’re a couple broken hearts just stumbling in the dark
You and me on the edge of falling apart
Honey, God only knows how we let it get this far, but…
It is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, and we ain’t gonna change
Maybe we could make it
But this kind of situation don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you, girl
It is what it is
I can't quit and I can't stay
And I'm running low on faith
Girl, tell me what to do
How can I get over you when...
It is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, but something’s gotta change
Maybe we could make it but this kind of situation
Don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you
Girl, it is what it is
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you
It is what it is
I wanna love you and I wanna leave you
It is what it is

We both say we never do this kinda thing
But here we are, nothing between us but the dark
I can't see your eyes, but I feel your lips
You're kissing me like it's something you've missed
Well girl, don't stop, cus I miss it too
It ain't wrong, it ain't right, it's just nothing
Nothing left to lose
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
We got one thing in common, and it ain't chemistry
It's a painted on smile- falling apart underneath
They say give it time, it'll get better
I don't know about you but I'm tired of waiting on forever
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
And forget for a while
In the morning, I'll be sleeping
You won't leave a note
Just a kiss before you go...
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
