Let's go on a bicycle ride or go camping
You'll tell me your stories, and I'll tell you mine
A field with a view or the ocean
Or anywhere you want anywhere at all
You make me feel like I'm happy and lucky and growin
Like a kid
You make me feel like I'm goin to places that I have never been
Make me feel like I'm lucky
Make me feel like I'm happy
Like a kid
Two kids on adventures like pirates or heroes but we're safe for now
Invincible and excited we can do whatever we want now
The best at everything
You make me feel like I'm happy and lucky and growin
Like a kid
You make me feel like I'm goin to places that I have never been
Make me feel like I'm lucky
Make me feel like I'm happy
Like a kid
Drop your things let's just go cuz we are ready for this now
It doesn't matter where to cuz we are gonna make it now
Breakin free somehow
You make me feel like I'm happy and lucky and growin
Like a kid
You make me feel like I'm goin to places that I have never been
Make me feel like I'm lucky
Make me feel like I'm happy
Again

Island

Sometimes I wish I was on an island
White sand at my feet
Coconuts in the trees
And nobody here but you and me
On an island I would have you all to myself
Our house would be made of leaves
Our days would be complete
With nobody here but you and me
On an island we could do whatever we want
Nothing in our way we could spend every day
With nobody here but you and me
Cuz this lonely world makes sense with you
And all you need on an island is two
You would be right by my side
And I would love you all the time
On an island there'd be birds and trees and fish under the sea
On an island we'd have so much fun with just you and me
Cuz this lonely world seems better with you
And all you need on an island is two
You would be right by my side
And I would love you all the time
Yeah this lonely world makes sense with you
And all you need on an island is two
You would be right by my side
And I would love you all the time

Someone Like You

You’re breaking my heart everytime
But I want to call you and make you mine
I traveled the whole world to be by your side
But maybe somewhere someday, I’m gonna find
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someday I will find
Someone who’s just like you
You bring me along, you string me along
But I have plans and I’m gonna move on
I travelled the whole world, but now you are gone
But maybe someone’s been there, all along
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someday I will find
Someone who’s just like you
And when you called me, didn’t know what to say
So I’m gonna go now and I’ll go far away
I know you deserve all you have to give
This is your choice and it’s your like to live
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someday I will find
Someone who’s just like you
Someday I will find
Someone who’s just like you

Love You Anyway

You’re the kind of man who
Makes me want to be like you
You’re the one who’s out of reach
But I’ll keep trying to
I know I don’t have a lot of money
But I could love you everyday
And I know that I am nobody
But I could love you anyway
It hurts to look at you
But I can’t keep my eyes away
You’re the one that everyone wants
But I’ll try anyway
I know I don’t have a lot of money
But I could love you everyday
And I know that I am nobody
But I could love you anyway
I heard you say you’re looking for love
To be in the long game
And I could give you all you want
If you only knew my name
I know I don’t have a lot of money
But I could love you everyday
And I know that I am nobody
But I could love you anyway
No, I don’t have a lot of money
But I could love you everyday
And maybe it could be enough
To be in love with me

I’m twenty-one but I’m ready to be a man
Buy a house and start a family
I’m in love and and this is the next step
The natural thing to do
But sometimes when you’re off your guard
Sometimes you say you’re not so sure
You say you gotta
Marry her cuz she’s with you now
But you’re still young and
you don’t have to settle down
And you think you can’t get the girl but
You could have anyone
And she’ll be lucky
Cuz she’ll know that she has
Found the one
Found the one
But she’s beautiful she’s kind and she loves me
Why wait and see what else there is to see?
If I was just a few years older
Maybe you would see that she’s for me
You say you gotta
Marry her cuz she’s with you now
But you’re still young and
you don’t have to settle down
And you think you can’t get the girl but
You could have anyone
And she’ll be lucky
Cuz she’ll know that she has
Found the one
Found the one
You say I’m young but I say I’m ahead of the game
And she wants the same thing wants to change her name
I already bought her a ring
I already know what she will say
You say you gotta
Marry her cuz she’s with you now
But you’re still young and
you don’t have to settle down
And you think you can’t get the girl but
You could have anyone
And she’ll be lucky
Cuz she’ll know that she has
Found the one
Found the one

The One That Got Away

I thought I had you
Right in the palm of my hand
I always thought you’d be the one
And I understand you
When you say you found someone
Someone who’s just like you
And though you’re standing
Right in front of me today
I can already tell I can already say
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one that got away
They say things happen for a reason
But now I’m not so sure
Not like I was before
Cuz I would spend some time with you
Or my whole life with you
Wait all night outside your door
And though you’re standing
Right in front of me today
I can already tell I can already say
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one that got away
And still I see you in my
dreams every night
But I wake up alone
But if you want me
All you gotta do
Is just let me know
And though you’re standing
Right in front of me today
I can already tell I can already say
You’re the one that got away
And I was planning
To tell you you should stay
But the smile on face when you call her name says
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one that got away

We Could've Tried
03:40

Just someone I knew in school
I haven’t seen him in years
Cuz now we’ve gone our separate ways
And he has disappeared
My friends say I should tell him
I say he’ll never know
They say I’d better speak up now
Or forever let it go
And why don't you say something now
After all this time oh
Why don’t you say something now
While you still have time
But he went off to Michigan
And we said goodbye for good
He married his sweetheart from school
Like he always said he would
I didn't see the wedding
Saw pictures on Facebook
And when my invitation went out
Bet he didn't even look cuz
He never said anything
After all these years and
He never said anything
Through all the tears
Each Christmas time a letter comes
Each year another kid
Mom, who is the handsome man
Tell us ‘bout him again
He's just a friend from college
I haven't seen him in years
I thought he had forgot about me
I thought he had disappeared cuz
He never said anything
After all these years and
He never said anything
Through all the tears
But many years later
Standing on the street
a handsome man with
Eyes that shine
and could it really be?
A tap upon the shoulder
Is it really true?
I look into his eyes that shine
Is it really you? Well
Why didn’t you say something now?
After all this time oh
Why didn’t you say something now
We coulda tried
But just for a second
We're back on the first day
Our graying hair and wrinkled smiles
Have almost gone away
He says he isn't married
And I say I got a divorce
We say we could've got it right
But you were always taken of course and
Why didn’t we say something now?
After all this time oh
Why didn’t we say something now
We coulda tried and
We never said anything
After all this time
Oh we never said anything
But we can still try
