Every time I try and try, try so hard to change your mind,
You come up with twenty different reasons,
And I just can’t seem to find my way around this commotion,
Like an obstacle course of emotion,
Doesn’t seem like any solution,
So I try and remind you of the time,
We sat down on that dim lit bench,
Several hours after dark,
And I’m surprised it felt so magical,
For a typical Portsmouth park,
And with your head upon my shoulder,
I had visions of growing older,
As you’re sitting there I hold you,
Then you looked to the stars and said,
That a shooting star is a sign of love,
But I was never sure of what’s above,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
I went out the other night,
Nothing special just a pint or two,
Not expecting any trouble,
Then this guy came and said “Hi, I know your music through my ex,
We broke up the other day”
I said that I’m sorry to hear that mate,
But then I’m shocked to hear your name.
He said “She left me the other day,
She didn’t have much else to say,”
So then I walk in the other direction feeling mucked up and betrayed,
That you never broke it off with me,
You just stopped talking completely,
And starting dating somebody else,
Oh I’m glad I never believed,
That a shooting star is a sign of love,
But I was never sure of what’s above,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life, oh,
And I guess that I was right,
Cos you’re no longer in my life,
Oh I’ll miss our evening walks around this town,
Hand in hand as the sun goes down,
But if all of those moments didn’t mean a thing to you,
Then why the hell should I feel so down and blue,
Cos after all that I can’t believe I never, ever had a clue,
But a shooting star ain’t a sign of love,
And I was never sure of what’s above,
But I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my life, oooh,
No, a shooting star ain’t a sign of love,
And I was never sure of what’s above,
But I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my life, oh,
Oh I’m glad that I was right,
Oh I’m glad you left my,
Oh I’m glad you left my life.

Just My Dreams

When you wake up and I’m not there next to you,
Does it bother you at all?
Cos when I wake up all alone in my bed,
Honey I feel such a fool,
Cos you-ooh-ooh knew me truly,
More than anyone I’ve met,
But I’ll put on a brave face,
And pretend that I forget,
Oh oh oh yeah,
Will you ever remember the times we shared?
Will I ever be able to hold you again?
Can we ever go back to where we began?
Oh maybe we will, in my dreams,
Do-do-do-do-do,
Do you ever sit and wonder how things could be
if I was sitting next to you?
Staring into your different coloured eyes,
Just like I used to do,
Then you turn to me,
Just to tell me I make you smile,
Then I turn to you,
Just to tell you it’s worth the while,
Oh-oh-oh,
Will you ever remember the times we shared?
Will I ever be able to hold you again?
Can we ever go back to where we began?
Cos I want so much more than just my dreams.
Will you ever remember the times we shared?
Will I ever be able to hold you again?
Can we ever go back to where we began?
Cos I want so much more than just my dreams,
No, no, no,
Cos I want so much more than just my dreams.

On And On

When at first we met,
We were young so naïve,
Anything the world would throw our way,
We found it easy to believe,
As time went by slowly,
I taught you and you taught me,
Then months went by in the blink of an eye,
And I could finally see,
That if you were a book,
I’d know you word for word,
And if you were a song,
You’d be no melody I’ve ever heard,
And it would go on and on,
On and on, on and on,
Now when I first saw you,
You were dressed in scarlet red,
Even though you stumbled on all of your words,
I loved everything you said,
Sitting up on the hill looking over our town,
I just want you to know,
That when the sky burns out and the sun goes down,
I wanna take you home.
Darlin’ you are a prize that I will always defend,
And if my love for you was a road,
You’d never reach the very end,
Cos it would go on and on,
On and on, on and on,
When the light dies down at the end of the day,
It all comes to me that we both have it made,
This is how it’s came to be, but honey,
I don’t mind,
I could stay here with you for the rest of my life,
And we could go on and on,
On and on, on and on, on and on.
