Nothing To Do Except Go On

Song 11 for song a week

In the morning the sunlight springs through the window to start my day
We made it through the sickness and winter Now we're sleeping a little bit better

Because we can Because we should
Because we used up all the bad luck
So lets use some good

On the boardwalk you hold my hand watching the kids play in the sand
Gets in their shoes gets in their hair We might join in or stay right here

Because we can because we could
We'll never have all the time we want 
So lets make it good

Getting home as the sun sets say goodnight to those sleepy heads
Dream of today and the fun you had and how the good times come after the bad
Because if you can if you would
You'll see things get better
Like they should
If you can I think you should
Wake up from the bad dreams
Because today is good

Because We Can-2

Song 12 in this years Song A Week series

I'm staying with some old friends I think they really wish you'd came
We tell the same old jokes But its not really the same
Somewhere in the spaces the silence is a weight
I feel it every hour every day I'm away

New York tonight then Philly and Jersey stops
Trying to keep my speed down and avoiding the cops
Leaving early in the morning don't have much time to lose
Sunrise will be something to see but its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to and I might have some fun
But know I'll be missing you like the day misses the sun

I've played a lot of games up and down this coast
Lose more than I win feel I lose more than most
But I'm reaching out for something and I swear I'll grab it soon
Whatever I get I'll know deep down its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to may seem I'm always on the run
But know I'll be missing you like the day misses the sun

Wore the tread off my tires I wore the soles off my shoes
Chasing after dreams that led me back home to you
Wore a smile on my face like I'm crazy as a loon
The world might be something to see but its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to but when I'm done
Know I'll be loving you like the day loves the sun

Like The Day Misses The Sun
