A1A seems like a good place to start.
I'll pack up my dreams, gas up the car, and follow my heart.
There'll never be a good time, and things couldn't get much worse.
I'll forge a new life, create a new me, I'll remake my universe.
There's no goodbyes when no one's sure of your name.
No tender farewells, no backward glance, just so much to gain.
No more polite rejections, no more underhanded slights.
I gave it my best, it's time to move on. Sometimes it's not worth the fight.
So I'm settin' myself free.
All I know for sure is the highway in front of me.
I'm shifting into drive.
No maps, no plans, just unchained to start a new life.
I'm settin' myself free.
Seems right to leave when the sky is threatening to rain.
Please wash the slate clean, cleanse all my sins,
So I can start over again.
I'm settin' myself free.
All I know for sure is the highway in front of me.
I'm shifting into drive.
No maps, no plans, just unchained to start a new life.
I'm settin' myself free.
There's no shame in leaving when nothing's left but pain.
What's the point in staying when things just stay the same?
It takes more than one person
Willing to change.
Willing to change.
Willing to change.
So I'm settin' myself free.
All I know for sure is the highway in front of me.
I'm shifting into drive.
No maps, no plans, just unchained to start a new life.
I'm settin' myself free.

I'm going to cradle you in my arms
'Til your heart slows down its racing.
And I'll soothe away with my kisses
The tracks your tears are tracing.
Sometimes forever can be one night
And mercy doesn't come quite soon enough
So I will be the air you breathe
When the troubles get too much.
When sorrow crashes in like the sea
I won't let you wash away from shore.
And I'll gently bathe you with my tears
When hurt is seeping out from every pore.
Sometimes forever can be one night
And mercy doesn't come quite soon enough
So I will be the air you breathe
When the troubles get too much.
When dignity has fallen apart
Leaving only shame as ruins
I will hold a mirror to your heart
And show you all the jewels there.
Sometimes forever can be one night
And mercy doesn't come quite soon enough.
So I will be the air you breath
When the troubles get too much.
Yes, I will be the air you breathe
When the troubles get too much.

Come Back to Me

From the moment I met you,
You were always the one.
Tender joining of soul with soul.
What now since you're gone?
Your watch is still on the nightstand.
Your shirt's draped over the chair.
I turn and listen,
I hear your voice.
I know that you're not there.
I know that you're not there.
(chorus one)
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Lately sleeping eludes me.
I've learned to welcome the dawn.
The reddish tendrils of day's first light
Mean I'm still holding on.
I'm still holding on.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
(chorus two)
I ache. I weep.
I pace. I bleed.
I ache. I weep.
I pace. bleed.
I'm not ready for this.
I was never that brave.
I'm afraid and alone.
Why couldn't you just stay?
I'm not ready for this.
I was never that brave.
I'm afraid and alone.
Why couldn't you just stay?
Tell me, what does it take?
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
Come back to me.
(chorus one and two together)

Say my name
And voices of the angel choirs swell and soar.
Whisper hush,
And lullabies are singing me to sleep.
Smile at me,
And I'm a comet soaring through the velvet night.
Look my way,
And I'm the tender light at early dawn.
I can't remember time that came before you.
I can't imagine any time without.
You are both my history and my destiny.
All my life's been leading up to you.
Hold me close,
And wonders of the heavens are so clear to me.
Touch my hand,
And all my jangling fears begin to still.
I can't remember time that came before you.
I can't imagine any time without.
You are both my history and my destiny.
All my life's been leading up to you.
(repeat)
