The Story So Far
Released May 11, 2012
-
1. Kiss a GirlTo kiss and tell, it’s just not my style.
But the night is young, and it’s been awhile and she broke my heart, broke it right in two,
and it took some time but I’m feelin’ like I’m finally ready to find, find somebody new
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
Maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don’t wanna go too far just to take it slow
But I shouldn’t be lonely in this big old world
I wanna kiss a girl
It’s that moment when you start closin’ in
First you’re holding back, then surrenderin’
It can start a fire, light up the sky, such a simple thing.
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to say good-bye to all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
Maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don’t wanna go too far just to take it slow
But I shouldn’t be lonely in this big old world
I wanna kiss a girl
‘Cause maybe tonight it could turn into the rest of our lives, oh yeah.
Are you ready? Are you ready..to cross that line, put your lips on mine??
(Put your lips on mine baby)
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to say good-bye to all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
Maybe make a little magic baby
Don’t wanna go too far just to take it slow
But no one should be lonely, I shouldn’t be lonely
[Repeat chorus] -
2. Long Hot SummerI can’t sleep
Ain’t no sleep a’coming
I’m just lying here thinking ‘bout you
I’m in deep
Falling deep into the picture in my mind of everything we’re gonna do
Over at the lake and down by the river
You can feel it start to rise
Wanna jump in my car, go wherever you are
‘Cause I need you by my side
It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Singing along with the radio, it’s such a beautiful sound
And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
I wanna see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time
I try to be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile
One chance of meeting, you were walking by me on the street and I said hi
And that was the beginning of my heart spinnin’ like these wheels in my head tonight
It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Singing along with the radio, it’s such a beautiful sound
And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
The only place that I wanna be is where you are
‘Cause anymore than a heartbeat away is just too far
It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
All I really want is more than this moment right now
And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out
And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes
I swear it looks like you’re waiting for the sun to go down, the sun to go down
I swear it’s like you’re waiting for the sun to go down
Waiting on the sun to go down
Hey, yeah
Oh, I’m loving thinking ‘bout you
I cant sleep, I’m just lying here thinkin’ ‘bout you -
3. Somebody Like You (Radio Remix)There’s a new wind blowin’ like I’ve never known
I’m breathin’ deeper than I’ve ever done
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do
Now, I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
An’ I’m lettin’ go of all my lonely yesterdays
I’ve forgiven myself for the mistakes I’ve made
Now there’s just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin’ down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there’s nothing in this world I can’t do
I used to run in circles goin’ no-where fast
I’d take, uh, one step forward and two steps back
Couldn’t walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/keith-urban-lyrics/somebody-like-you-lyrics.html -]
Whoa here we go now
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin’ down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well, baby there ain’t nothing in this world I can’t do
Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand
But you’re teachin’ me to be a better man
I don’t want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
I’m ready to love somebody
Love somebody like you, ooh
An’ I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you, yeah
Oh yeah oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night
Shinin’ like it’s true
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it’s way
Wanna be a better man, I see it in you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you wanna believe it -
4. Making Memories of Us (Radio Single Edit)I’m gonna be here for you baby
I’ll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it’s ever been
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us
We’ll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there’ll be a new day
Comin’ your way
I’m gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You’ve been stretched to the limits but it’s alright now
And I’m gonna make you a promise
If there’s life after this
I’m gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll earn your trust making memories of us
I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I’ll win your trust making memories of us -
5. Days Go ByI’m changing lanes
I’m talking on the phone
I’m drivin’ way to fast
And the interstate’s jammed with
Gunners like me afraid of coming in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We’re coming undone
Days go by
I can feel ’em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It’s all we’ve been given
So you better start livin’ right now
‘Cause days go by
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We’re losing ourselves
Days go by
I can feel ’em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It’s all we’ve been given
So you better start livin’ right now
‘Cause days go by
We think about tomorrow then it slips away
We talk about forever but we’ve only got today
And the days go by
I can feel ’em flying
Like a hand out the window
As the cars go by
It’s all we’ve been given
So you better start livin’
You better start livin’
Better start livin’ right now
Cause days go by
I can feel like ’em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It’s all we’ve been given
So you better start livin’ right now
Cause days go by
These days go by
So take ’em by the hand
They’re yours and mine
Take ’em by the hand
And live your life
Take ’em by the hand
Don’t let ’em all fly by
Come on, Come on now
Don’t you know the days go by -
6. Put You In A SongWell here you come again and you’re lookin’ so fine
You don’t notice me but it’s alright
I’m just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it’s true
But it’s still not enough for how I feel about you
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to a groove
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl oh
If I could press play, repeat how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song, oh oh oh
Well I’d sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It’d be so easy I’d just write it from my heart
‘Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you’ll be
Stuck in my head all day
‘Cause you’re already there anyway, yes you are
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl
If I could press play, repeat how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song
And if I get it right everybody will be singing along yeah
And when they see you on the street they’ll say
Hey ain’t you the girl in that song
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I’m in love with this girl
Yeah if I could press play, rewind a couple million times
Imagine for a moment that you’re all mine
Every night I’d drive you home
If I could put you in a
Let me put you in a song
Let me put you in a song
Oh a pretty little song about you baby -
7. Without YouI loved you since the very first day
When I caught you looking my way
I smiled and just knew it
And up until you came along
And no one ever heard my song
Now it’s climbing with a bullet
It’s nice to have someone so honestly devoted
But when it’s said and done girl I hope you know that
The traveling, the singing, it don’t mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I’ve been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone without you
Oh Without you yea yea
Along comes a baby girl
And suddenly my little world
Just got a whole lot bigger, yes it did
And people that I barely knew
They love me cause I’m part of you
Man it’s tough to figure
How two souls could be miles from one another
But still you and me somehow found each other
The traveling, the singing, it don’t mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I’ve been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone without you
Without you oh
Without you I’d survive
But I’d have to have the notion
That I could live this life
Just going through the motions
The traveling, the singing, it don’t mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I’ve been building up so high
It’s never gonna touch the sky without you
Without you
Without you baby baby baby without you
Without you -
8. You Look Good In My ShirtWhen you walked up behind me and covered my eyes
And whispered in my ear, guess who
I rattled off names like I really didn’t know
But all along I knew it was you
And, the longer we talked, the more we laughed
And wondered why we didn’t last
It had been a long time, but later last night
Baby, we caught up real fast
And maybe it’s a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you’re sure looking
Good in my shirt
That’s right
You look good in my shirt
Well now I’m not saying that we solved overnight
Every way that we went wrong
Oh, but what I’m seeing I’d sure love seeing
Every morning from now on
And maybe it’s a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you’re sure looking
Good in my shirt
C’mon now
Aww that’s right
Oh you look so fine
And maybe it’s a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you’re sure looking
Good in my shirt
And maybe it’s a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you’re sure looking
Good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt -
9. Stupid BoyWell, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can’t fence that in
Stupid boy, it’s like holding back the wind
she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
Stupid boy, stupid boy
Oh
So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right but now you’ve lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah
Well, she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
Yes, you did
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy, oh, I’m the same old
Same old stupid boy
It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone
Long gone, long gone
Ah, she’s gone
Nobody’s ever gonna love me like she loved me
And she loved me, she loved me
God please, just let her know
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Baby, yeah, I’m down on my knees
She’s never coming back to me -
10. Once in a Lifetime…Mm hmm
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in your touch
I know that you’re scared
But you’ve never been this loved (mm hmm)
It’s a long shot, baby,
I know it’s true.
But if anyone can make it,
I’m bettin’ on me and you. (mm hmm)
Just keep on moving into me,
I know you’re gonna see
The best is yet to come
And don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But we’re never giving up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love
Everybody’s looking
For what we’ve found
Some wait their whole life
And it never comes around. (uu huhh)
So don’t hold back now.
Just let go of all you’ve ever known
You can put your hand in mine.
And don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But we’re never giving up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love
I close my eyes and i see you standing right there
Sayin ‘i do’ and they’re throwing the rice in our hair.
Well the first one’s born
And a brother comes along,
And he’s got your smile.
I’ve been looking back on the life we had
I’m still by your side.
So don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But I’m never givin up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love. -
11. Sweet ThingWhen I picked you up for our first date baby
Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were drivin’ me crazy
And the tiny little thought that was so amazing
Is they were lookin at me.
I held open the car door for you then you climbed
Inside and slid on over
To the other side.. I thought my, oh my..
Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It’s a good thing and I’m wishin
C’mon sweet thing
Won’t you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there’s no way I’ll be leavin
Til we’re kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing
Yeah I know I’m gonna see you first thing tomorrow
But I just couldn’t wait so I had to borrow
Uncle jake’s mustang, its his favorite car
And so I can’t stay long..
Standin here feeling like a love struck romeo
All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little
More time, is that such a crime?
Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It’s a good thing and I’m wishin
C’mon sweet thing
Won’t you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there’s no way I’ll be leavin
Til we’re kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet thing..
Oh my sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It’s a good thing and tell me I’m not dreamin
C’mon sweet thing
Won’t you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there’s no way I’ll be leavin
Til we’re kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing
Oh cmon sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing..
Yeah, cmon now a little now..
Do do do do doo do do do do do do
Oh my little sweet thing, yes you are
Do do do do doo do do do do do do -
12. You'll Think of MeI woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else’s arms
I’ve been tryin’ my best to get along
But that’s OK
There’s nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don’t need’em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me, you’ll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I’m feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don’t need’em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me
Someday I’m gonna run across your mind
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine
I’m gonna be alright
While you’re sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I’ll be over you
And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don’t need’em
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don’t need’em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me, you’ll think of me, yeah
And you’re gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday -
13. I Told You SoYou said you needed your space
I wasn’t where you wanted to be
I didn’t stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so how surprised am I to see you here tonight
Well, oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes in our lives
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we’re on
Is heading in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We’re right where I know we should be
Oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes it’s like we’re deep in nothing but love
And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me, please
Oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
But I told you so
Should have known better
Than to leave me, baby
Should have known better
Than to leave me, darling -
14. Only You Can Love Me This WayWell I know there’s a reason
And I know there’s a rhyme
We were meant to be together
That’s why …
We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it’s forever
You understand …
That you’re always in my heart,
You’re always on my mind
But when it all becomes too much,
You’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I’d of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah..
And you’re always in my heart,
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much,
You’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
Ooooh…
And you’re always in my heart,
You’re always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much,
you’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
Ooooh…
Only you can love me this way. -
15. You're My Better HalfCar door slams, it’s been a long day at work
I’m out on the freeway and I’m wondering if it’s all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn’t seem fair
I pull into the drive and you’re standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
[Chorus:]
It’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that’s a lie
‘Cause when it comes to you I’d rather have you by my side
You don’t know how much I count on you to help me
When I’ve given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you hold me tight
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Well, you take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
It’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
Oh baby, it’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
Oh, oh baby you’re my better half
Ooh, hey baby you’re my better half -
16. For YouAll I saw was smoke and fire
I didn't feel a thing
But suddenly I was rising higher
And I felt like I just made
The biggest mistake
When I thought about my unborn child
When I thought about my wife
And the answer rang out clear
From somewhere up above
No greater gift has man
To lay down his life for love
And I wonder, would I give my life
Could I make that sacrifice
If it came down to it
Could I take the bullet, I would
Yes I would, for you
Maybe you don't understand
I don't understand it all myself
But there's a brother on my left and another on my right
And in his pocket just like mine
He's got a photograph
And they're waiting for him back home
It's weighing on my mind
I'm not trying to be a hero
I don't wanna die
But right now in this moment, you don't think twice
I wonder, would I give my life
Could I make that sacrifice
If it came down to it
Could I take the bullet, I would
Yes I would
You don't think about right
You don't think about wrong
You just do what you gotta do, to defend your own
I'd do the same
For you
Yes I would
I would give my life
I would make that sacrifice
'Cause if it came down to it
Could I take a bullet
For you
Yes I would
I'd do it for you -
17. Better LifeFriday night and the moon is high
I’m wide-awake just watchin’ you sleep
And I promise you you’re gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain’t got much now, We’re just startin’ out
But I know somehow paradise is comin’
[Chorus:]
Someday baby, You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck’s gonna shine
Someday baby you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on
We’re headed for a better life
Oh now there’s a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it’s hard to see it now
But baby someday we’re gonna fly
This road we’re on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It’s all that really matters
[REPEAT CHORUS]
So hold on, hold on
C’mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we’re gonna have it all
And ooh
[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
Oh, a better life
Hey we’re gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see
We’re headed for a better life, you and me
We’re gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we’ll be free
We’re gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me
Just hold on tight now baby
