Eric

So much has happened in five years,

I've grown up like you wouldn't believe.

You'd be proud of who I've become, I know it.

I'm a leaguie through and through now,

I know that'd make you smile.

I'm somewhat of a role model,

I am a coach, and a team player.

Something you told me to always be.

You wouldn't like my haircut, you'd make fun of me.

I still haven't figured out your magic tricks,

Though I would beat you at snap. I know I would.

There's not one day that goes past though,

That you don't strike my mind.

Every teary-eyed memory makes me want you back.

You were something I always aspired to be,

Someone worth loving.

Five years today, and my heart still weeps.

I bare your middle name,

And I am glad that I do.

AWOL

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted forever
But didn't last long enough,
You are the hope that resides in me

I hope this goes well, cause for a long time
I will be living in hell away from you
And I ask myself 'is that something I can do?'

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted forever
But didn't last long enough,
We will continue in tune and it will be
Full of the warmth we shared so far
And it wasn't easy to walk into the car
Could you please give me something to hold on to?
Something deep that will remind me of you

With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep
With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep

With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep
With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted (lasted, lasted) forever
But didn't last long enough,
You are the hope that resides in me
(with your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep)
And the next time, I drift off to sleep,
I hope you will be the next thing I see
(with your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep)

The buzzer sounded.

As the seconds gave out to the clock,

The buzzer sounded.

Five seasons, blood, sweat and tears.

A moment suspended in time, I stood speechless.

Arms raised as the winner they made me out to be,

You really couldn't ask for more.

The hardcourt reflected a silhouette of blurred colour,

Much like the memories from seasons past.

It's an unsettleing thought,

Knowing it's all over for me, tonight.

Every basket, every trey, every play,

History.

Team mates, friendships, memories,

History.

I'll never forget what it's made me.

The blue and yellow colours,

are intertwined as blood.

For a basketball heart,

Bounces more than it beats.

Lost and insecure, you found me.

Your arms are like my bed,

When I'm in them darling every thing's okay.

It may rain. It may pour. But when you're by my side,

It's always damn sunny girl.

The moon may shine, the brightest it can.

But it doesn't compare, to how you brighten up my life.

It could be black an white forever,

But your still the most gorgeous colours in my eyes.

The delicate touch your fingertips have on me,

It sends me into a spiral of overwhelming happiness.

Oh how every beautiful song screams your name,

It's the sweetest thing,

When voices speak, and I can only hear you.

You're always on my mind, but I don't want you off.

You, Me - At Six.

They say that problems come,
Come and pass and I am number one.
So take a look at your friends,
Oh Envy is a terrible thing
No you, your so smart, so smart you didn't call my bluff,
And if you could, you just would

If you run!
If you run!

f you run away you won't stay,
And that's so cool.
Is it like you wanted it to (are you scared?)
Sing, take it away take it away,
It's easy to stay, easy to stay,
When you know everything.

Stop.
You had us all convinced,
You were something, someone couldn't miss,
But what did we really miss?
You say...
You'll give it up, And you'll give it up all away,
You'll give it and give it up all away, give it up,
Give it up, give it away.

If you run!
If you run!

If you run away you won't stay,
And that's so cool.
Is it like you wanted it too? (Are you scared?)
Sing, take it away take it away,
It's so easy to stay, easy to stay,
When you know everything.
Ohhh...

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat.

Run around, just running your mouth,
Your by the hotel, whos doing you know?
And your so cool, so cool.
