Way Back When

I remember painted faces
Holding hands in secret places
Dreamin' bout the things that we would do

Camping out in your backyard
Pounding on that old guitar
Wishing on a shooting star with you

way back when

You and I were young
You and I were young
Riding bareback in the sun
You and I were young

I remember folding lawn chairs
Yellow dog that stole your teddy bear
Back when we thought dreams could still come true

I was yours and you were mine
disappeared into the sands of time
Wish I'd had a whole lot more with you

way back when

You and I were young
You and I were young
Driving high down 101
You and I were young

way back when
way back when
way back when

You and I were young
You and I were young
Banging gongs and beating drums
You and I were young

I remember painted faces
Holding hands in secret places
I remember all these things with you

way back when

There'll Be Roses

Once someone has gone from your life, you'll never get the chance to tell them all the things you'd rehearsed in your mind.

LYRICS/VOCALS by Rachelle Wells. MUSIC/VOCALS John Staples

"Nothing Left to Say"

VERSE

Goodbye’s my favorite word
since I lost sight of you
If I say it enough times
Will I believe it’s true?

VERSE

When it’s quiet outside
I can almost hear your voice
Wish tonight that I might
See your face one last time

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

VERSE

i can choose the image
that you make in my mind
pretendin' that one day
you would've been mine

VERSE

if only i’d been brave enough
to finally take the chance
i stayed silent and afraid
Said no to the dance

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

BRIDGE

Lay that pretty head down
Right here next to mine
I’ll listen to you breathing
As our fingers entwine

Oh, I’m just daydreamin’
Regret’s my closest friend
I ought to put it all away
This song will be the end

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

END TAG

Wishes mean nothing
When it’s far too late
Now there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say
