Never did she think she would get here
When she was young, this was only a dream
Just a young girl’s fantasy
Something to smile to as she went to sleep
CHORUS
Well look at her, she’s a star
She's in the movies
Everyone sees her face
Because she's on the big screen
She is on the big screen
Making her way up to the top now
Everybody wants to know her name
She says that life couldn’t be better
She wouldn’t want it any other way
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know this girl
She doesn’t know my name
She never thinks about me
She thinks life is a game
I was wondering what would happen if I got someone else’s drink
If I opened up my arms to someone else, what would you think?
If my heart was like a magnet to a refrigerator door
Would you ever come around asking me for any more?
I remember when they told me love was just a game you played when you hit a certain age
Like gambling with your money, but you’re gambling with your honey
I remember when they told me love was something ya did to get married, have a kid
But now I know that love can’t be told by her or him
I was wondering what would happen if I laid my head on someone else
If I watched our favorite movie with someone other than yourself
Try to picture my love in someone else’s hands
Try to picture you and me never sharing laughs
Well I have pictured all these things
And no picture beats the one with you and me
I was wondering if when you slept you dreamt of me like I do you
If you woke up in the morning wishing all your dreams come true
I was wondering what would’ve happened if I had never seen your face
If the pictures on my wall were of another time and place
I don’t want to wonder anymore
I’m happy with this perfect picture
Humpty dumped thee
Don’t you fall
Humpty Dumpty, what went wrong?
You never made the effort to put back together a relationship gone wrong
Now all that’s left of you is this song
Humpty dumped thee
Don’t you fall
Humpty Dumpty, what have you done?
None of the horses or the men were sent to help you on this one
I hope that Humpty, you’re having fun
CHORUS
Maybe one day she’ll come back
Maybe one day you’ll see that
You will always be alone if you keep letting people go
You should have been there
But Humpty, you were never one to care
Humpty dumped thee
Don’t you fall
Humpty Dumpty, what went wrong?
You never made the effort to put back together a relationship gone wrong
Now all that’s left of you is this song
I make my bed for you to lay your head
I clean my cups so you can drink from them
You sing a song for me to listen to
You dance, I watch your body glisten through and through
CHORUS
You and I were made to love
Sing and dance we will together
You can travel from sea to sea
But apart our hearts will never be
I say love is worth the fight
When I have you sleeping by my side
All day we're making love into the night
I'll rest happy with my eyes shut tight
BRIDGE
How I love it when your hair hangs down
I’ll run my fingers up and down and all around
Running through the smoothness of your skin
Trouble is I can’t keep them from wandering
CHORUS
Smile and let’s combine our happy thoughts
You turn your cell phone and the TV off
I’m not taking any calls
Tonight all we answer are ringing hearts
I like to hang on Meldon Blvd.
That’s where I like to play on my guitar
There’s Rudy barking at Les’s car as it drives by
I swear there’s something wrong in that dog’s mind
And when Les pulls into the circular driveway
Andrew J. just happens to pull away
He waves at Chelsea who smokes her cigarette outside
Then goes to the back with the butt to hide
She looks at Ryan who’s jumping on his trampoline
She’d like to join him but knows smoking ain’t his scene
Still she smiles and goes on her hazy way
It’s good to be alive, that’s what she’ll say
That’s just the way things go on Meldon Blvd.
Taking a leap off of the broken diving board
I saw Brian hit the sky as he soared
Splashes the water into Terri’s garden
Her petunia’s bloom is just now startin’
Her husband, Jerry, swings his Callaway three-wood
He could beat Tiger, I just know he could
And he hits a ball into Rodger’s front yard
Which shines green and has since the spring’s start
Thanks to a job well done by Reid across the street
Who does all of his landscaping for free
That’s just the way things go on Meldon Blvd.
Smiling faces and tied shoe laces, that’s just the way things go
Three-legged races to different places, that’s just the way things go
Someone told me a good joke for free, that’s just the way things go
On Meldon Blvd., that's just the way
Everywhere I go I hear people talking about a girl named Lucille
At first I thought she was a joke but I soon learned that she is very real
And everything I heard about her was true
My neighbor had some fun last night asking where he could find Lucille
He paid one time to see her when he was driving through Tennessee
He told me everything he heard about her was true
19 days and 19 nights all that was on my mind was Lucille
I need to see her I need to know who she is
I need to know if she even exists
Apparently she’s everywhere but she’s mysterious
I’ll go around the world for just one glimpse
It’s your smooth confidence
It’s the way you kiss
Love of mine
It’s that intuition that you always know what’s on my mind
It sets me free
It’s the way you talk to me
I know I’m in good company
Love of mine
It’s that conversation that only you and I could ever have
It sets me free
CHORUS
These are the reasons why I love you and I always will
Through all the seasons I believe in loving you still
Rain or shine you’re on my mind, I hope I’m on yours too
I’m feeling fine most every time that I’m turned onto you
It’s your drive to please
Every single place I’m weak
Love of mine
It’s your will to speak so open and honestly
It sets me free
It’s that big white smile
It’s your creative style
Love of mine
It’s the sound when I call you right before you say “Hello”
It sets me free
Seventeen and running wild
A product of his folks
An awkward walk and a crooked smile
The subject of some jokes
Searching for something more
Looking for some light
In every angle a locked door
And no key in his sight
CHORUS
And he refrains from asking the question
He avoids the truth that be told
He’s waiting for it to come to him
He’ll wait till he gets old
He makes his bed and scratches his head
And never really learns
The door he knows will open up
Is the door from which he turns
Thirty three and still alone
Doing what brings him down
Carrying a thousand stones
As his life falls to the ground
Still searching for something more
Waiting for a sign
Hoping one day it will come
Whatever it is he’ll find
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Somehow he never fought for what life could’ve been
He doesn’t know about what people say about him
Maybe he was meant to be alone without you
Or maybe he was too afraid to do what he needed to do
Put me on a deserted island with just you
Oh girl, think of the things that we could do
With no water between us and only the water at the shore
When they would finally come to our rescue we’d be begging them for more
CHORUS
Isn’t it great to be thinking of you?
Isn’t it great to be thinking of you?
I find myself thinking of you when I am awake
And I find myself dreaming of you when I am not awake
Your image is a thought that will never, ever die
Because together or apart you are always on my mind
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I said “Hi,” and you said “Hello.”
I said “How about we take it nice and slow?
And you let me know when you’re ready to go.”
Everybody’s leaving and they’re shaken to the bone
Because everybody’s happier when everybody’s home
It’s that moment of closure to say what should have been said
To get off of your mind what’s been running through your head
CHORUS
If you go, I’d like to know
I won’t beg you to stay
But there are some things that I’d like to say
Next stop is a place that is far away from here
Where the life that you once lived is a reflection in a mirror
And you look at yourself and you see a different girl
The girl who was too afraid to go into the world
CHORUS
I’m sorry if I didn’t have a better sense of style
But did that change the feeling you would get as you would dial
My house on rainy nights when we didn’t want to leave
Or maybe it was my fault, maybe I’m naïve like you
So we say goodbye like there was nothing ever there
I hope that you find happiness. Won’t you please take care?
Words left unspoken, a door always left closed
Of everybody leaving, how come I’ll miss you the most?
