I just wanna make you smile

verse1 - if you could only see the way that you look at me, then you would know how it was so easy. that twinkle in your eye and the tone of your goodbye; I knew I should give it a try. 

chorus1 - but I don't want to talk to you for long. I don't want to write you a song. And I don't want the number of your phone. I just wanna make you smile. 

verse2 - my heart was on the shelf, but you nursed it back to health. I don't even recognize myself. 

chorus2 - but I don't wanna fall in love. That doesn't mean that I wanna give up. It's just that having you here is almost enough. One more thing, honey, I just wanna make you smile. 

verse3 - I've been through this before, I broke her heart and she walked out the door. I need some time, maybe just a little more. 

chorus3 - but I don't wanna make you cry. I don't wanna see you leavin here tonight. if I could only make it right. I just wanna make you smile. 

bridge - cuz when you smile, the sun shines brighter; when you smile, you make a lover out of a fighter; when you smile, my world stops turning; when you smile, my heart starts beating 

chorus4 - but I don't wanna promise you forever. I don't want to plan a life together. now is not the time, maybe later. right now, honey, I just wanna make you smile.

dreams

verse1 - i'm just tryin to buy my time, with mix CDs and lullabies. cuz there is nothin quite like havin you on mind. 

chorus1 - you're like a dream. 

verse2 - don't hold your breath, don't close your eyes. cuz I won't see you til the summertime. just think of me when you lay down at night and let your sleepy thoughts take flight. 

chorus2 - and dream of me. 

verse3 - don't worry, babe, I will wait for you. I will wait for as long as I have to. it seems like forever, that is true. but someday I'll be with you. 

chorus3 - it won't be a dream

tick, tock, key, lock, honeybee, you & me

verse1 - I found a friend, she's cute, she makes me smile. we play pretend and then, after a while, say goodnight and hang up the telephone. that smile, that laugh, that look in her eyes that makes my heart crash right before I fly. the fire makes a smoke signal that reads "I love you" 

chorus - she's on my mind all the time and it's quite alright. she's got a light that she shines; it shines so bright. you can't stop what we got, cuz it's not for you to stop. 

verse2 - and i've been told that there are four seasons a year, but I'm sold on summer, it's my only care. because that is when I get to see her face. a map, you see, can hold the whole world, but my heart, it seems, ain't big enough for this girl cuz it's beatin so fast and burstin at the seams. 

chorus 

bridge - for every tick there's a tock, for every key there's a lock, for all the honey there are bees, for every you there's a me. for every bullet there's a gun, for every flower there's the sun, for every heart there is a beat, for every you there is a me.

if you'd have me

verse1 - when you walk by I get those butterflies. and when you say "hi" I smile deep inside. and when you touched my hand, I felt like flying. I see you, out of the corner of my eye. I see you with that smile, smile, smile. I see you and now I'm feelin fine. 

chorus - won't you hold me, won't you love me, won't you take my hand? 

verse2 - the sunshine, it puts a smile on your face, and the rain makes you want to go out and play. any weather, darlin, you are game. the way you talk, with a voice so sweet. the way you listen when it's just you and me. I feel like I could talk to you for weeks (and weeks, and weeks, and weeks...) 

chorus 

end - and I would hold you, and I would love you, and I would take your hand if you'd have me

down with the ship

verse1 - tell me, girl, am I wastin my time chasin you through these telephone wires? tell me, am I losin my mind? won't you throw me a line? tell me, darlin, is it just a dream; this though of you and me so happy and so free? will it ever be? 

chorus - but I will risk it all. take a chance, though I may fall. I will let these words pass through my lips. and if I must I will go down with the ship. 

verse2 - do you remember that first time we stayed up way too late talkin online? well, I knew then I wanted you to be mine. girl, how you shine shine shine! 

chorus 

bridge - you're just so beautiful, and oh so lovely. you're just so wonderful and so very sweet. the way you talk, the way you sing, the way you smile when you say my name. I love you.I love you so. I love you. I love you Zoë. 

chorus

what I can't say

verse1 - there's a shoebox full of memories; there's a heart that beats and beats and beats; and I hope you know, honey, it's all for you. there's a photograph I keep tucked close to my heart; there's a t-shirt I'll wear til it falls apart; and I hope you know, honey, it's all for you. 

chorus - when I'm always sayin "someday", do you know what I mean? when I say I miss the place we met, do you know what I mean? when I tell you there's no other girls, do you know what I mean? cuz I can't say what I mean. 

verse2 - there's a summer spent under the sun; there's a duet waitin to be sung; and I hope you know, honey, it's all for you. there's a song that I'm singin all day long; there's a phone call I can't wait to be on; and I hope you know, honey, it's all for you. 

verse3 - there's a day that I've planned out inside of my head; there's a moment when everything will get said; and I hope you know, honey, it's all for you

low battery

verse1 - do you tell all your girlfriends about me, the boy you got in Florida who's fallin so crazy in love with you? there's nothin I can do. Pennsylvania is so very far away, but you got me thinkin it's a place I'd like to stay. I know that it's colder there, but that's ok. 

chorus - cuz I wanna love you, like no one else has. I wanna kiss you cuz I know that nobody else has. and hold you like no one else has ever held you before. and I wanna dream so big that the night loses the battle to the morning light, and I'm still talkin to you on my cellular device. it's time to charge the battery again. 

verse2 - the door to my heart is open, won't you come inside? make yourself at home, make me feel alive. you're the breath in my lungs, you're the song on my tongue. I wonder what your hand feels like inside of mine. I wonder what your heartbeat feels like when you're tired. I wonder if you have to hold back a smile when you're talkin to people about me. 

chorus

everybody knows

verse1 - been thinkin bout your smile: don't wanna be cliché and say somethin about how it lights up a room. it's more like how you feel after a good cry; the peace that comes with knowin it's gonna be alright 

chorus1 - and everybody knows that I'm a sucker for those brown eyes. and everybody knows that I'm a lover who wishes he didn't have to say goodbye 

verse2 - been thinking bout your touch: don't wanna be cliché and say something about feelin warm inside. it's much more like a sunrise that wakes you up and makes you feel alive 

chorus2 - and everybody knows I'm a romantic, yeah, it's pathetic. and everybody knows about my antics, and that I'm lovesick. and everybody knows that I miss you while you're livin so far away. and everybody knows that I wish you would come down here and stay.

my heart

verse1 - you walked up to me, I cut open my chest, separated my ribs and gave my heart. then I got on a plane, left my heart in your hands. and I gotta know, babe, what are you doin with my heart? 

verse2 - did you lock it away? are you keepin it safe? are you holdin on tightly to my heart? did it get misplace? did you throw it away? I just gotta know, babe, what are you doin with my heart? 

verse3 - I love talkin on the phone. you have the sweetest voice. and I can hear the gentle beat of my heart. do you take it to school? or put it under your pillow. I just gotta know, babe, what are you doin with my heart?

dreamer's lullaby

waiting

intro - I wish there was an end in sight, but I'll hold on just the same. cuz when you find gold, you don't let go. and for you I will wait, for you I will wait. 

verse1 - I'm findin out more about you, like how you love the sky cuz God painted it blue. and how you love my eyes cuz they match it too. you always look so nice in the clothes that you wear, and I love your brown eyes and how they match your curly hair. and they way you cross your legs when you sit down in a chair. there's nothin quite like gettin to know you. 

verse2 - the way you look at me when we are all alone, it's like you found a place you can call your own. just come inside my arms, that can be your home. and when you hold my hands it's like you'll never let go, and the way you rest your head when I'm holdin you close. somthin I gotta say cuz I want you to know. I'm waiting, and I will wait for you, babe. 

outro - even if it's four or five years, that is just the start of what i'm willin to do. i'll put in my time, oh yes I will, I'll do whatever I must to be with you.
