Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone, I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think I'll make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder, I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say,

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand

He said my place was ready, in heaven far above
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love,

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had,

But when I walked though heaven's gate I felt so much at home,
when God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.

He said, "this is eternity and all I've promised you,
today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew"

"I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past."

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me I'm right there in your heart.


Those words were printed in the program for Matt's funeral today, and reading them brings me to tears again. It doesn't seem fair that God would take Matt away from so many friends and family after only 20 short years. I know he's in a better place now, with our Father in heaven, but so much of me wishes he was still here, just a phone call away. I wish our last conversation would have ended differently, I wish I could have seen him again before his life was taken so suddenly. Although he is gone physically, I know that he will always be with me, watching over me, but right now that doesn't bring very much comfort.

It’s the way she makes it seem as if her eyes are all for me,
It’s the way she flashes smiles at me while she’s serving up the drinks,
In that small town corner bar on Main, where we always seem to meet

And she knows my name, but she calls me “boy” as I start to play my tunes,
It’s the way she says it’s cute that I still play without my shoes,
It’s the way she makes me feel each night I play that slow venue.

And I swear, one of these days, you know, I’ll probably ask her out,
And one of these days she’ll probably just smile and turn me down.
She’s probably got someone else, she don’t need me around.

And every night, more of the same, you know each and every time,
It’s the things that dance inside my brain of the day that she’ll be mine,
I weighed up all the pros and cons and waited for my time.

And finally, I got the hints and I took her to a show,
And finally, now I understand what they mean by, “you’ll just know”
By the way she smiles and holds my hand, it makes me wanna be a better man.

And I think, one of these days, I’ll figure this girl out,
I’ll throw a ring on her left hand, and I'll learn what love’s about,
She’ll take all of my breath away as she’s walking down the aisle.

And I will know, that this is where life was supposed to go,
She’ll be the best thing that I’ve never known,
She’ll be all that I need, and she’ll mean everything to me.

One of these days, I’ll be helping her move out,
I’ll be sharing my whole life with her in this small one bedroom house,
We’ll look back on how far we’ve come, and I’ll be so glad I asked her out.
And I’m so glad I asked her out…and I am so glad I asked her out.

It's you to me, it's your gentle face, overdue but worth the wait
And out of my reach but I'm reaching out for you
And me to the night, I say goodbye, this time is up, I fight the time
A needed award, I can't afford it, a finished song, one more chord

It's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside

Now everyone back, my hearts at war with all these plans I had before
And I'm losing my grip, but I'll lose it all for you
So I go driving all around, I'm denying all these sounds that hit my ear
Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat

So it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside

Oh, let me in
Let me in

And it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside, inside
And it's already in my mind
Well inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside
