Twenty Something lyrics - Graham Colton

i am no magician
i've got no crystal ball
but i have made a few things disappear
all my good intentions
are they ever good enough?
am i only running circles while i'm here?

and i've tried
but trying doesn't always get me there
and i'm fine
even when the way it's going isn't fair
halfway between somewhere and nothing
woke up and i'm twenty something

i'm no acrobat
but i've had my share of falls
i've been walking wires, and climbing up the walls
and i have kept my distance
just close enough to feel
but far enough away to know that what i know is real

and i've tried
but trying doesn't always get me there
and i'm fine
even when the way it's going isn't fair
halfway between somewhere and nothing
woke up and i'm twenty something

this is where it all begins
i'm giving up on giving in now
i'm not afraid of where i've been
halfway between somewhere and nothing
woke up and i'm twenty something

and i've tried
but trying doesn't always get me there
and i'm fine
even when the way it's going isn't fair
halfway between somewhere and nothing
woke up and i'm twenty something

woke up and i'm twenty something

Everything You Are lyrics - Graham Colton

You were standing with who you came with
You told me your name, it was short for Elizabeth
You don't drink 'cause you can't stand the taste
You talk like a boy but you still like a little chase

I know I can try but you never would have changed
I know all my life will never be the same
I love everything you are
Yeah, I love everything you are
Yeah, I love everything you are

You move like a stone when you walk in
Want me to keep you warm, but don't answer to anyone
Then you want to be swept off your feet
Want me to drive, but you never take a backseat

Oh, I know I can try but you never would have changed
I know that all my life will never be the same
'Cause I love everything you are
I want you to know
I love everything you are
And I can't let go
And I love everything you are
I love everything you are

When you wake up and your hair is all a mess
Wearing the bed sheet like it's a white dress

'Cause I love everything you are
I want you to know
I love everything you are
I want you to know
I love everything you are
And I won't let go
I love everything you are
I want you to know
I love everything you are
You are

There Comes A Time lyrics - Graham Colton

Do you feel like your own home,
Is a castle made of sand
Trying to hold on,
before it slips right through your hands
You breathe in and breathe out,
but the air is stretched so thin
Thinking it out loud
And you can't get back again,
And no ones there

There comes a time,
when you realize,
The the past is over
There comes a time,
When you decide
That your life has just begun
There comes a time,
when you will say,
That it's undiscovered
There comes a time,
There comes a time

How do you screa out,
When no one else is there
Trying to reach out,
Throwing punches in the air
Where will they find you
When there's no where else to go
Trying to see through
All the lines they start to show
And No ones there

There comes a time,
when you realize,
The the past is over
There comes a time,
When you decide
That your life has just begun
There comes a time,
when you will say,
That it's undiscovered
There comes a time,
There comes a time

There comes a time,
when you realize,
The the past is over
There comes a time,
When you decide
That your life has just begun
There comes a time,
when you will say,
That it's undiscovered
There comes a time,
There comes a time

You're On Your Way lyrics - Graham Colton

I wanna say I'm sorry
But I'll never know what for
I wanna take you back
To the way it was before
I wanna call and apologize
Like I don't have a choice
I wanna say the words you wanna hear
Just to hear your voice

But you're on your way now
You're too far away now
Yeah, you're on your way now
I'll let you go, let you go, somehow

I wanna say it's over
Don't wanna say goodbye
I wanna give up everything
Just to give it one more try
I wish that things were different
And not so black and white
In how we lost a battle
We didn't even fight

Cause you're on your way now
You're too far away now
Yeah, you're on your way now
I'll let you go, I'll let you go, somehow

Will I make it on my own?
My heart, you can take it, it's yours
So time isn't waiting, I know we can't stay here
I know it's too late now

So, here I am
Swallowed my regret
Sometimes I can't remember
Sometimes I can't forget

But you're on your way now
(Whatever you need from me)
Too far away now
Yeah, you're on your way now
(Whenever you needed me)
Yeah, I'll let you go, I'll let you go, somehow
I'll let you go, I'll let you go somehow

Suitcase lyrics - Graham Colton

You're packing up your suitcase
No place you can go
Saying all your goodbyes
No one wants to know

And I guess you figured out
How to do it all by yourself
And I know you wonder how
Everything's so wrong

But there goes your suitcase
There goes the years and all
There goes your suitcase
Following you somewhere I won't go

Leaving all your old friends
A fowarding address
Looking up at blue sky
To put on your best dress

And I guess you figured out
How to do it all by yourself
And I know you wonder how
Everything's so wrong

But there goes your suitcase
There goes the years and all
There goes your suitcase
Following you somewhere I won't go
I won't go

You're packing up your suitcase
But no place you can go

But there goes your suitcase
There goes the years and all
There goes your suitcase
Following you somewhere
There goes your suitcase
There goes the years and all
There goes your suitcase
Following you somewhere I won't go
Yeah, I won't go

Our Story (One Day At A Time) lyrics - Graham Colton

So it didn't go to plan
It's hard to understand
But now I know this is just our story
I will set out on my way
You're never in one place
And now I can learn to walk before we,

Run away to the sin,
It's just me
It's just you
One day at a time

When nothing's for sure
We can throw the past away now
Cause we don't need it anymore
One day at a time
Cause I still believe that it's ours for the taking
I know that we can make it one day
At a time

Yeah, we hear it from our friends
They tell us how this ends
But they don't know this is not their story
I know we will find a way
We're gonna be okay
Cause I'm here
You don't need to worry

Now all we should be
Is just you and me
One day at a time

When nothings for sure
We can throw the past away
Cause we don't need it anymore
One day at a time
Cause I still believe that it's ours for the taking
And I know that we can make it
One day, One day at a time

We'll flee the memories like the dark, the in between
I want everything
And love I know will carry us
With you I'll always have enough
We'll work together through this life
One day at a time

So It didn't go to plan
It's hard to understand
But now I know this is just our story

One day at a time
When nothings for sure
We can throw the past away now
Cause we don't need it anymore

We've got the rest of our lives
and I still believe that it's ours for the taking
and I know we're gonna make it
one day, one day at a time
one day at a time

A Day Too Late lyrics - Graham Colton

I'm making up for losing time
I just need something I can wait for
Tell me where to draw this line
Where it ends, I'm never sure
The dust settles, the answers
Are covered and then blown away
Dried petals just lie on the table
Cause they don't know how to change
Cause we don't know how to change, yeah

Maybe I don't want to leave it all to fate
Maybe I won't keep my head on straight
Maybe I'm scared that you won't be there
Maybe I'm just one day too late
Maybe I'm wrong as I will ever be
Maybe your words, they were lost on me
And maybe I said what you thought in your head
Maybe I didn't think it could wait
Are we ten years away
Or maybe a day too late?

Waking up with you, I know
You're the one I wanna live for
Tell me where to draw this line
Cause anything you need, I'll give more, yeah

Maybe I don't want to leave it all to fate
Maybe I won't keep my head on straight
Maybe I'm scared that you won't be there
Maybe I'm just one day too late
Maybe I'm wrong as I will ever be
Maybe your words, they were lost on me
And maybe I said what you thought in your head
Maybe I didn't think it could wait
Are we ten years away
Or maybe a day too late?

Maybe I don't want to leave it all to fate
Maybe I won't keep my head on straight
Maybe I'm scared that you won't be there
Maybe I'm just one day too late
Maybe I'm wrong cause I left last night
Maybe I don't want the past out of sight
And maybe I said what you thought in your head
Maybe I didn't think it could wait
Are we ten years away
Or maybe a day too late?
Are we ten years away
Or maybe a day too late?

Wide Open Inside lyrics - Graham Colton

Get back
You could be hurt standing this close
Then react
Don't say anything cause no one really knows
How it ends or begins
Or who wrote this story
And I don't mind anymore
What you said that tore me

Wide open inside
I'm so wide open inside

They ask me
"Is there one single regret?"
But I'm looking back
And I wouldn't move one hair on your head
I miss you to kiss you
To see you often
Or until another lifetime
If you want me to wait, I will

And I'll be wide open inside
I'm so wide open inside

Could I be right?
Should I be wrong?
Now, it's just one more time
To wake and see you gone
Should I stay a while?
Should I say goodnight?
I'm just so tired
Of these lullabyes

And I'll be wide open inside
I'm so wide open inside
God, I am wide, god, I am wide
God, I am wide, god, I am wide

Hold Onto My Heart lyrics - Graham Colton

You don't remember all the times that you've been sad
You don't know how it feels when my heart is beating fast
Oh but I do
You don't know what you're gonna dream about tonight
You don't know how you look in imaginary white
Oh but I do, Oh but I do

So let's dive into the great unknown
Rip out the pages; let life unfold
Cause darlin' you can hold onto my heart
We can rewrite time; break the hourglass
Burn all the rules; scatter the ash
Darlin' you can hold onto my heart

You don't know how you look when you don't know what to wear
Standing on your toes holding up your hair
Oh but I do
No one else has got me lifted off the ground
Dizzy with the way my world is twirling upside down
The way that you do, oh the way that you do

So lets dive into the great unknown
Rip out the pages; let life unfold
Cause darlin' you can hold onto my heart
We can rewrite time; break the hourglass
Burn all the rules; scatter the ash
Darlin' you can hold onto my heart
Darlin' you just hold onto my heart
Darlin' you hold onto my heart

My Resignation lyrics - Graham Colton

I lie awake at night
You're always by my side
I try to fall asleep
You're holding on to me, oh
The night, it lasts so long
I don't want to wake you up, oh
With every move I make
I'm planning my escape

Yeah, I don't know the words to say
Damn, it's a bad situation
Yeah, I'm running out of time
According to my calculations

I watch the cars roll by
I dream of a life outside
You keep me wide awake
And that's your big mistake

Yeah, you don't get a reason why
I'm not taking my medication
Yeah, it's a matter of time
I'm guilty by association
Yeah, however I behave
You get the standing ovation
Yeah, I made up my mind
I'm handing in my resignation
Yeah

"Here Right Now" (2007)

Telescope lyrics - Graham Colton

Up here alone in this room
Watching you come into view
Off in the distance where I want you to stay
Can't get you out of my mind
I'm tired of passing the time
I've got your picture and all I can do is try to look away

[chorus]
You're in my telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night and shine like a satellite
It's easier when you're far away

You disappear in the crowd
I scream but don't make a sound
I never know when you might come back again
So close but don't let me in
You still get under my skin:and it's showing
And all I can do is try to look away

[chorus]

I'm a fool for every move
For coming back to you
I'm a fool afraid of love

You're in a telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe

[chorus]

You Find A Way lyrics - Graham Colton

I'm writing you for the hundredth time cuz ninety nine I threw away
And in my mind a thousand times I've said everything I wanna say
I've said everything I wanna say

But you find a way to keep me hanging on
You find a way to make everything go wrong
It's the way you lose me
Say you choose me
Then pass me by like you never knew me
You find a way to lead me on

I change my mind a thousand times but circumstances stay the same
I told you no an hour ago
I've said everything I wanna say
I've said everything I need to say

But you find a way to keep me hanging on
You find a way to make everything go wrong
It's the way you lose me
Say you choose me
Then pass me by like you never knew me
Til I find a way of moving on

And when I think I've figured out
I've found a way to live without
You come around and everything's all wrong
I'm waking up alone at night remembering when the time was right
You're only here a moment then you're gone

You find a way to keep me hanging on
You find a way to make everything go wrong
It's the way you lose me
Say you choose me
Then pass me by like you never knew me
You find a way to lead me on

Til I find a way of moving on
You find a way you lead me on
I'll find a way
I'm movin on

Best Days lyrics - Graham Colton

With everything I've ever done
I'd give it all to everyone for one more day
Another night I'm waking through
Anther door I walk intro
I can't break

It's a winding road
It's a long way home

So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives

I count the steps the distance to
The time when it was me and you is so far gone
Another face another friend
Another place another end but I'll hang on

It's a winding road
It's a long way home

So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Yeah let's make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives

It's a winding road
It's a long way home

So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of it
So don't wait cuz no-one can tell you it's too late
Cuz these are the best days
There's always something tomorrow
So I say let's make the best of tonight
Yeah let's make the best of tonight
We'll make the best of tonight
Here comes the rest of our lives

Forget About You lyrics - Graham Colton

It's been one year to the day
Since I watched you drive away leaving me with only street lights glowing
Here we are now face to face fumbling all the words to say
Hiding feelings that I don't want showing now

I am useless young and stupid for thinking I'll get over you
I'll make excuses but the truth is
It's the best that I can do
I can't forget about you

We'd spend every day and night and never left each other's side
But I never asked you what you're thinking
Cause it's been one year to the day
Here we are now face to face
Now it feels like I am slowly sinking down

[chorus]

Every night I stayed up thinking my mind's made up
Every memory I hold on to
If I could only have a minute
I know how I'd spend it saying everything I feel for you
I feel for you

I am useless young and stupid for thinking I'll get over you
There's no excuses cause the truth is
There's nothing left for me to do
I can't forget about you
Forget about you
I can't forget about you
I won't forget about you
Forget about you
I can't forget about you
