Here’s To Us

I’ve been around the world before
Seen all there is to see
Still I find myself at your front door
It’s where I need to be

In every corner of the Earth
I dreamt I’d see your face
I never understood its worth
Until I found my place

All my life
I have wandered in the dark
To find the light
I have come to where you are

Ive sailed across the seven seas
Never finding land
I thought happiness was just a dream
Buried in the sand

I’ve walked among the stars above
Lord I’ve done it all
Though I’ve never been in summer love
I sure have felt the fall

All my life
I have wandered in the dark
To find the light
I have come to where you are

All my life
I have wandered in the dark
To find the light
I have come to where you are

I’ve jumped through rings of fire
Hoping I could make you stay
I’ve acted like your fool
And I’d do it all again

It’d be a small price to pay
To hold you in my arms one more day
But I just can’t convince myself
You’re nobody and we’re through
I’m nobody’s fool

I played the fool for you
And I did it all so willingly
I gave all my love to you
There ain’t nothing that I would not do
And now look where it’s got me
Broken hearted and lonely too Look at me
I’m nobody’s fool

Every time I take a breath
Your cologne passes through my mind
So I just have to stop breathing for a while
And pray that it won’t hurt in time

Every song I hear bellows out your name
Reminding me of you
I don’t know what I’ll do
I can’t chase you from my head
No I’d be better dead
Than nobody’s fool

I played the fool for you
And I did it all so willingly
I gave all my love to you
There ain’t nothing that I would not do
And now look where it’s got me
Broken hearted and lonely too
Look at me
I’m nobody’s fool

Look at me
Look at me
Still nobody’s fool

He said there goes another plane, isn’t it insane?
How fast those things can leave the world behind
I know he didn’t realize he was talking about my life
I’m sure to him he was merely passing time

I said I ain’t landing I ain’t leaving, just sitting disbelieving
That I ever let him on that silver bird
I made him wait now it’s too late, for what I didn’t say
So I’m crying out the words he never heard

That ain’t just another plane, it’s carrying my life
Somewhere far away beyond the runway lights
Now all that’s left here is my pain, an empty house and broken heart
No matter where he lands we’ll be a thousand miles apart
Friend to you they may all look the same
But that ain’t just another plane

Did he have a window seat? If he did, did he see me?
Down on my knees begging him to stay?
Did he take a second glance consider me and one last chance?
Or just turn and leave forever in his wake?

I can’t stand here just pretending everything will be alright
When my whole world just caught that one way flight
As that jet stream fades away and another takes its place
I can’t help but feel a part of me just died

That ain’t just another plane, it’s carrying my life
Somewhere far away beyond the runway lights
Now all that’s left here is my pain an empty house and broken heart
No matter where he lands we’ll be a thousand miles apart
Friend to you they may all look the same
But that ain’t just another plane
I know that one takes off a thousand times a day
But after this one leaves I’ll never be the same

That ain’t just another plane, it’s carrying my life
Somewhere far away beyond the runway lights
Friend to you they may all look the same
Friend to you they may all look the same
But that ain’t just another plane
That ain’t just another plane

On the floor of our old apartment
Cabernet stains my lips
One cigarette lights the other
And burns the memory of your kiss

Your photographs paint my floorboards
Your shadow hangs on these walls
As I find the bottom of my glass
Your voice fades down these empty halls
And loneliness calls

All that we made, you poured down the drain
But you left a little in the bottle
The drink in my hand helps me to stand
But this one’s getting hard to swallow
Tonight I'm gonna polish us off
Drown every trace of love’s scars
So here’s to us
And one last shot in the dark

I put on your favourite record
The one that makes me cry
Soaked in candlelight, red wine and regrets
I’m wringing every word dry

Wearing your old t-shirt
The one I said I'd thrown away
The smell of you makes me believe for one more night
That maybe you'd stayed
But that fades away

All that we made, you poured down the drain
But you left a little in the bottle
The drink in my hand helps me to stand
But this one’s getting hard to swallow
Tonight I'm gonna polish us off
Drown every trace of love’s scars
So here’s to us
And one last shot in the dark
Here’s to us
And one last shot in the dark

A perfect afternoon, you and I
Bathed in sunlight
The sky above is warm and blue
Not a cloud in sight

The weatherman said “Put on your Sunday best
It’s gonna be a beautiful day”
You kiss my face
And I know that trouble is on the way

There’s a thunder pounding in my chest
And every touch is lightning
I’ve never felt a storm quite like this
It’s like we’re caught up in a hurricane
And it ain’t even raining

Busy street in August heat
You guide me through a maze of people
You take my hand, and we start to dance
People ask us what the hell we’re doing

“Dancing in the rain”
And they think we’re insane
But I know without a doubt
We’d be drowning in a drought

There’s a thunder pounding in my chest
And every touch is lightning
I’ve never felt a storm quite like this
It’s like we’re caught up in a hurricane
And it ain’t even raining
It ain’t even raining

There’s a thunder pounding in my chest
And every touch is lightning
I’ve never felt a storm quite like this

There’s a thunder pounding in my chest
And every touch is lightning
I’ve never felt a storm quite like this
It’s like we’re caught up in a hurricane
And it ain’t even raining
It ain’t even raining, no

Pretty young girl just 18
College bound and full of dreams
But just like a candle in the night
Darkness lurked outside the light

Through closed doors left unlocked
Into her world the devil walked
Innocence got swept away
And a broken woman took her place

The ropes he bound her with won’t break
The scars he left can’t be erased
Living hell so few escape
That kind of hurt don’t go away
Not yet a woman no more a girl
Lost and afraid in her own world
At the point of his knife
He left her breathing but he took her life

With every dusk there comes a dawn
I hope one soon let’s her move on
Somehow she comes to understand
That was a devil not a man

The ropes he bound her with won’t break
The scars he left can’t be erased
Living hell so few escape
That kind of hurt don’t go away
Not yet a woman no more a girl
Lost and afraid in her own world
At the point of his knife
He left her breathing but he took her life
At the point of his knife
He left her breathing but he took her life
