| TIME WELL SPENT
And I was woken by the thought in my head,
“Time to see the world and get up out of this bed.”
With feet to walk with and a little time to kill,
I grab my guitar so I can go and chill
Out on Box Hill, cotch I will,
Won’t stop til I fall asleep.
I’ll take my time and relax in the sun
Because I heard time flies when you’re having fun.
And I’ve no idea
Where that day gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
And I’ve no idea
Where that day gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
Yeah…
And I remember sharing lips with her…
The coming weeks were to be a blur.
‘Cause time with her is like no other -
She can make a winter’s day feel like the summer.
And it’s oh so nice to have her alone,
‘Cause you know I made her leave her mobile phone at home.
The clock’s ticking, but I don’t mind
Because there’s no one else I’d rather share my time.
And I have no idea
Where those weeks gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
And I’ve no idea
Where those weeks gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
So I sing…
Reminded of the time in 1999,
I started a brand new school.
Behaved? I’d be lying.
‘Cause you’ll be finding me
‘Round the back of that sports hall wall.
Taking teachers through the bends
With our little sets of friends, yeah,
We’re about as focused as a broken camera lens.
My first fight, my first fall for a girl…
You know I – I wouldn’t swap those few years for the world.
‘Cause I’ve no idea
Where those years gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
And I’ve no idea
Where those years gone went.
Yet I know that it’s time well spent.
So I sing…
I'LL BE THERE
Words come easy with you.
To keep them coming
There’s nothing I won’t do.
And love comes easy with you
‘Cause you’ve got a face that makes my heart race.
And I’ll be there, my girl,
‘Til the sun doesn’t rise.
And I’ll be there my girl
When there’s tears in your eyes.
And I’ll be there my girl
To hold you when you’re feeling down.
‘Cause when know one seems to care,
And life ain’t being too fair,
I’ll be there.
‘Cause when the feeling can’t compare,
And life ain’t being too fair,
I’ll be there.
And I’ll be there that’s all I phoned to say
The day you broke down mentally
And you were on the motorway.
So when you’ve given up, there’s nothing left to do -
My damsel in distress, I’ll do my best to rescue you.
And I’ll be there, my girl,
When the sun doesn’t rise.
And I’ll be there, my girl,
When there’s tears in your eyes.
And I’ll be there, my girl,
When you’re feeling down.
‘Cause when know one seems to care
And life ain’t being too fair
I’ll be there.
‘Cause when the feeling can’t compare
And no one seems to care,
I’ll be there.
‘Cause when the feeling can’t compare
And life ain’t being too fair,
I’ll be there.
ALL I NEED
‘Cause I live to get lost on lazy afternoons with you
And what I’d give for any cause to turn a day into a few.
‘Cause just one kiss is all I need.
Take my hand and let me lead
Far away to an empty place.
I live to see your face smiling back at me after kissing you.
Got a trick right up my sleeve if I’m missing you…
‘Cause I need to do to is close my eyes
And you’ll be right by my side.
‘Cause I need is you.
You’re in my mind, everything’s gunna be alright.
‘Cause a thousand miles wouldn’t keep me
From seeing you.
(Seeing you…)
A thousand miles wouldn’t keep me from seeing you.
So if I only have one day left in my life
I’d make you my wife.
I’d take your hand
Fly to the warm sand.
That would be grand.
And in my last few hours,
I’d find you some flowers.
And for once, I wouldn’t need my guitars
‘Cause right now I’d rather be in your arms.
Yeah you heard it right, I wouldn’t need my guitars.
I’d rather be in your arms.
You’re right, you can keep my guitar.
I’d rather be in your arms.
‘Cause all I need to do is close my eyes
And you’ll be right by my side.
‘Cause all I need is you – you’re in my mind.
Everything’s gunna be all right.
‘Cause a thousand miles wouldn’t keep me from seeing you.
I said, a thousand miles wouldn’t keep me from seeing you.
‘Cause all I need is you, you’re in my mind.
Oh yeah.
‘Cause all I need to do is close my eyes
And you’ll be by my side.
All I need to do… is be with you.
Everything I do – I do it, girl, for you.
ONE OF THESE DAYS
There are many places I haven’t been,
seen them all on screen.
And there are many faces I need to meet,
time to use my feet.
I guess that I can’t seem to free my mind.
I can’t seem to make the most of my time.
I guess I’m stuck here, until my luck clears.
Blue skies painted in my eyes.
You don’t have to stay goodbye.
‘Cause you won’t look me in the eye.
‘Cause I will find an answer…
(One of these days.)
I will take my chance to…
(Just one of these days.)
…Fly away.
Yeah, I’ll fly away.
Just one of these days.
And I need to take my chances.
There’s always time for the second glances.
I can’t miss my only chance to be free.
Feet in white sands, sunsets on the sea.
And many years from now,
I’ll pack it up and then I’ll quit my whining.
And many years from now,
I’ll want to look back smiling.
‘Cause you don’t have to say goodbye.
‘Cause you won’t look me in the eye.
And I will find an answer.
And I will take my chance take to…
Fly away.
Yeah, I’ll fly away.
Just one of these days…
I will find and answer.
(One of these days.)
I will take my chance to…
(Just one of these days.)
Fly away.
Yeah, I’ll fly away.
Just one of these days…
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, etc.
TIME ISN'T HEALING
And Tick tock goes the clock.
Time is going so slow.
And I’m supposed to be fast asleep,
Like a couple hours ago.
So I – I need to exercise
the right I’ve got to rest these eyes.
And I – I need to knock on some doors,
Then I wont have to lie here by myself anymore.
‘Cause time isn’t healing…
I’m getting sick of staring at my ceiling.
And I – I can’t help the way I feel about you.
‘Cause time isn’t healing…
Pretty sick of staring at my ceiling.
And I – I can’t help the way I feel about you.
I have a smoke to try and send me to sleep,
but things aren’t all that they seem.
The only time I seem to spend with you
Seems to be in my dreams.
So I – I need to let her go.
Would it have worked? I guess I’ll never know.
And I – I need to hit the road,
And find me a girl of my own.
‘Cause time isn’t healing…
I’m getting sick of staring at my ceiling.
And I – I cant help the way I feel about you.
‘Cause time isn’t healing…
Pretty sick of staring at my ceiling.
And I – I can’t help the way I feel about you.
And time isn’t healing me anymore.
And time isn’t healing me anymore.
And time it don’t heal me no more.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE
If I had a plane,
then where would I fly to?
If I had to use my brain for something else
tell me what would I do?
And if I had a strange conversation with a lady in a waiting room about leaving all this doom and gloom…
If you could be anywhere
where would you be?
If you could be anywhere
would you be there with me?
If I could be anywhere
I’d be there.
If I could be anywhere
I’d be there with you, girl.
Take my chances,
Fake my glances,
Wake those answers
anywhere but…
take my chances,
I’ll fake my glances,
Wake my answers,
anywhere but here.
yeahhh
I’ll do it anywhere but here.
mmmm
I’ll do it anywhere but here.
UNDER STARS
And I wish I knew everything there is to know about you.
And I want you to see just exactly what you mean to me.
And you – you think you know me.
I guarantee there’s a lot more to see.
And you – you don’t believe it’s true -
That if I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming of you.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could drive you in my car
To kiss you under stars.
And I want you to be, everything that you deserve to be.
And if I close my eyes, then I can see you perfectly.
And I – I don’t know where to go.
I wrote a song just to let you know
That we – we could be together.
I’ll hold you forever.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
I wish that I could drive you in my car
To kiss you under stars.
And I wish that I could hold your hand,
Feet beneath the sand.
And I wish that I could feel your touch,
I think about you so much.
IN MY ARMS
I won’t forget the first time
I saw you looking at me.
I had to hold you then and there.
Well, how could this be?
‘Cause your curves were oh so fine,
You just had to be mine.
And I will hold you in my arms
‘Til the end of time.
And I will work it out in my mind
How I got by without you in my life.
I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
Damn, I feel so lucky to have you in arms.
And I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
Damn, I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
I can’t believe I got you home
Now we can be all alone.
Time with you is like no other -
I’m ignoring my phone.
‘Cause I feel like a king
Touching your G-string.
If you could walk away, and you did,
It would do me in.
And I, I will work it out in my mind
How I got by without you in my life.
I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
Damn, I feel so lucky to have you in arms.
And I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
Damn, I feel so lucky to have you in my arms.
In case you ain’t all clocked
I’m talking ’bout my guitar!
