A Walk Around the Sun — Lyrics

A Thousand Miles
Take my hand and we'll walk for a thousand miles, a thousand miles, my love.
Take my hand and we'll tell the story of things we can't, things we can't understand.
Till the starlight, starlight falls down. Oh a heart is a precious thing to waste, thing to waste my love, oh my love.
Rivers and mountains, Winter to glorious Spring. We'll share the light and all the beauty it brings. All that it brings, all that it brings.
Take my hand, and we'll walk for a thousand miles, a thousand miles my love. Till the starlight, starlight falls down. Oh a heart is a precious thing to waste, thing to waste my love. Oh my love.

If You Were Mine
Well you’re on my mind nearly more than half the time, while I think of ways that I could make you smile.
And if you were mine, I would never waste your time. I’d be here ,baby, when you come to call.
I’d write you a song, hoping that you’d sing along and there’s probably nothing that I wouldn’t do.
So if you think I’m fine please don’t make me wait in line. just tell me that you want me to be true.
Cause I don’t blame the road for wearing my shoes out. Ive walked many a mile, believing all the while, that love will come, it’s out there looking too. It might be on the run, or hell, it might be you.
And if you were mine, I would never waste your time. I’d be here baby when you come to call.
So if you think I’m fine, please don’t make me wait in line, just tell me that you want me to be true. Oh, just tell me that you want me to be true.

First Love
She was my very first love, she was my heaven above. She was my angel on high, she was my reason to cry.
Been counting moments too long, feelings that linger till dawn. Can’t make no sense of it now, there ain’t no easy way out.
And I never, wanted, to show, how I feel. Thought someday, maybe, you’d know my love was real.
It was the best time of my life, I never needed to try. It wasn’t that hard to do, because all I wanted then was you.
So you came and followed me down, the road led straight out of town. Stars shining moon lit your face, in that moment, I longed to stay.
And I never, wanted, to show, how I feel. Thought someday, maybe, you’d know my love was real.

Loser
You said it out of love, you said that we would never fall apart, you said I’d never lose you, you said that it would never be this hard. But you, could see right through.....me.
Rode down to Opelousas, rode down there with the devil on my back, well I caught a train to Nashville, I caught it and I’m never coming back. Cuz you, did something to......
I could go anywhere, like you’ve always gone. I would do anything, to get you home. I’d even break a heart, hell I’d break two, if only I could stop the pain, of loving you...
You said I was your lover, you said that i would never be your friend, you said I’d never lose you, and that we’d be together in the end. But you, could see right through.....me.
Woke up before the dawning. Woke up before the sun was in the sky. My heart was full of yearning. I called your name but there was no reply. Cuz you, did something to......
I could go anywhere, like you’ve always gone. I would do anything, to get you home. I’d even break a heart, hell I’d break two, if only I could stop the pain, of loving you…

Running Wild
She always had a photograph of her mama on her wedding day, and in that picture all black and silver, was a moment time could not erase.
She had her smile and eyes as wild as the rocky Montana range. She spent her childhood among the wildwood, dusty flowers where the cattle graze.
She grew up tall and she grew up right, sun on her skin hair like the blackest night. Out riding horses, she held on tight. Bucking bronco’s under starry skies.
Take me home, that’s where I want to go. Take me home. Take me home, where the Buffalo once did roam, running wild where we used to play.
The years moved on with family gone, spread out like seeds, thrown into the wind. She drove a pick up and kept it filled up, rode around the world and back again.
Take me home, that’s where I want to go. Take me home. Take me home, where the Buffalo once did roam, running wild where we used to play.

A Walk Around the Sun
You know there is something wrong when, even the birds sing songs about, cryin' and dyin' and love and peace in heaven above. But I, I ain't even gonna try...
Took a walk around the sun, felt my hands on that gun, I was your love and you were mine too, baby there's nothing we can do.
Help me, I've been afraid of your crying. I prayed for so long, for so long. I was the one who was feeling undone but I made it seem like it was you. Like it was you, I was untrue. Like it was you, I was untrue.
Maybe in time they'll bring flowers for me, for me.
Carried a burden too great and an axe I could wield to my fears. But you knew the way as we followed the rain, when it broke in the sky, didn't need to know why. We walked til we ran and ran til we came to the point of no going, home again, home again.
Maybe in time they'll bring flowers for me, for me, for me, for me, for me.

Hearts
You made my heart unwind, you did it every time, you would change, but I stayed the same.
You made my heart unwind, i told you every time i was wrong, then you'd be gone.
And you knew that I would hold on tight, and you know that I, I'm on fire.
You made my love come down, you ran me all around, I was strong, but you did me wrong.
You picked me up again, told me you were my friend all along, the same old song.
And you knew that I would hold on tight, and you know that I, that I'm on fire. And you know that I, that I'm on fire.

Unsatisfied
If you’re thinking, what I’m thinking, go on and come back home. If you’re lovin' like I’m lovin', you won’t leave me alone.
Cuz' I don’t want to be unsatisfied. And I don’t want to leave you here tonight.
You pick the bottle off of the table and put it to your mouth. Bitter tasting, your heart is racing, you let it all pour down. You’ll be the last one to leave this place tonight. I won’t see you until the morning light.
You lit a fire in my heart and sat back and watched it burn. Crumpled paper tell me later all I have to learn. Tiny pictures of how this used to be. Glowing embers to feed this fantasy.
So, if you’re thinking, what I’m thinking, go on and come back home. If you’re lovin' like I’m lovin', you won’t leave me alone.
Cuz' I don’t want to be unsatisfied. And I don’t want to leave you here tonight.

Wild Thing
Never thought I’d fall in love with a wild thing. He's is the one I’m dreaming of, my wild thing. How he gets me oh so high, I’m hanging on to touch the sky. Never thought I’d fall in love with a wild thing.
Dial the number call him up I’m falling. Asks me if I want to ride, I’m stalling. Around his waist my arms hold tight, mountain roads and starry skies. Never thought I’d fall in love with a wild thing.
He’s got me spinning around, I can’t stand up. Aint had my feet on the ground, in a minute. A bird that’s flying to high, storm is coming. Gone in the blink of an eye, he keeps running.
Never thought I’d fall in love with a wild thing. But he's the one I’m dreaming of, my wild thing. How he gets me oh so high I’m hanging on to touch the sky. Never thought I’d fall in love with a wild thing.
He’s got me spinning around, I can’t stand up. Ain't had my feet on the ground, in a minute. A bird that’s flying to high, storm is coming. Gone in the blink of an eye, he keeps running.

Love Song
There’s a hole in my chest where my heart used to be and I’m wishing on a star that it comes back to me. I could cry myself a river take a boat out of town. Snaking through the valley I would follow it down.
I keep busy in the day and stay home at night, cigarette smoking in the candlelight. Play another love song it just don’t seem right. Lovers kissing in the dark and someone’s telling lies.
But you got it now, and you don’t know how. The light's slowly fading and my heart just keeps on breaking.
Sitting on the levee with a drink in my hand, time is of the essence you’re a wanted man. Mighty Mississippi bring my heart back to me. Say a little prayer it don’t float out to sea.
Somewhere in the distance shines a heavenly light. Think I’m moving towards it then it’s out of sight. I keep looking in the mirror but it’s still not around. Moving through the night till what’s lost is found.
But you got it now, and you don’t know how. The light's slowly fading and my heart just keeps on breaking.

Thief and a Liar
Oh I'm a thief and a liar,
There's no one, but myself to blame.
Don't know why my heart is on fire, no one's there when I call out your name.If you should leave me, I can't carry this load, oh my darlin', you'll never know.
Oh I'm a thief and a liar, no one's there when I call out your name.Oh I been drunk and I'm tired, falling down, left out in the rain.
Don't know why, my heart is on fire. No one's there, when I call out your name.if you should leave me, I can't carry this load. Oh my darlin', you'll never know.
Oh I'm a thief and a liar, there's no one, but myself to blame.
