The Juliana Theory Album

The time is 2:22
And I hope your wish comes true
But you say I'll know before you do
And I hope you're right
Why can we talk this way
We always speak

When you're so far away
And I'm sitting right here
It's 10:00 your time
And it's 1 by mine

And I often wonder
Why you even care
Do you ever wonder ever wonder why
We met here

The time is 2:22
And I hope my wish comes true
And I think I'll know just when you do
And I hope I do
Maybe this is just what I need

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong

When you're so far away
And I'm sitting right here
It's 10:00 your time

Tell your mom you need a day off
so we can play out in the rain
we'll catch a ride to the mall
go down to the arcarde
cause that's where all the cool kids play

tell your mom you need a day off
cause I dont feel like school today
we'll ride our boards down the hill
and to the playground
where everythings ok

tell your mom we will be home late
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work

You always know that I'll be there
Cause summer time is coming near
My closest friend, you'll always be
You are a hometown kid like me

Tell your mom to make us lunch now
cause we worked up an appetite
G.I. Joes and karate matches in the back yard
where everything's alright

now I can see that things have changed
we've gone our separate ways now

and it's not you and me
anymore, whoa...

why can't it be the way it was
when pain was only plastic guns
my closest friends have turned and fled
you are a million miles away

and I guess I'll hold my breath
(there is no harm for hoping for change)
and I guess I'll hold my breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)
and I guess I'll hold my Breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)

With the sounds of the ocean crashing
7:30 Friday evening
everything comes tumbling down
I choke back each tear that bleeds
I'd rather rest forever in your arms
I'd rather stay here than go but I know that
I should leave as i sit here helpless

Don't go you said you wouldn't
You said you wouldn't
Don't go you said you wouldn't
You said you couldn't

I think of our time together is it fading
am I dreaming everything you said lives on
I cherish our memories
I want to kiss your tears away tonight
it's hard to give up the one
You never thought you'd leave

Don't go don't go
Your eyes they see through my soul
don't go don't go
You say as I walk out your door

With the sounds of the ocean crashing
7:30 Friday evening

You'd like to think I have it easy
At times I think you're right but then I
I take a look around and see your eyes on me
At times I think I have it easy
Until I close my eyes and see
This life in my box lets you turn the key
When you want to hear a melody

But I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life it's what's inside
I go through stages when I feel this matters
This song and dance is a way of life for me

You'd like to think I have it easy
At times I think your right but then
I take a look around and see the grass is always greener
On the other side
This life in my box lets you turn the key
When you want to hear a melody

But I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life it's what's inside

And I can never be the one who saves the day
I'm just the man in the music box

It's nothing special
It's nothing special
It's nothing special

I'm just the man in the music box
(Your music box superhero)

Autumn came and left the summer sun behind us with our thoughts
When it stops raining
I think I'll take a walk to your house
And if we ever get the chance to set a date
I think I'll take you on the next plane
Won't you come and take a holiday with me
I've asked you twice before
Will this be the time you finally say yes to me
I've asked you times before
This is the last I've asked you times before
Won't you come and take a holiday with me
Please say yes
Won't you come with me
There's things to see
Won't you come and take a holiday with me
I can take you

You're the words that come out easy,
And I am speechless at best.
Your star it seems to shine above the rest.
You're the face before the cameras,
The smile i'd like to earn.
The closest thing to perfect,
In a hollywood to burn.
You're the beauty that is deeper,
Than eyes can merely see.
The closest thing to perfect.
But the farthest thing from me.

[Chorus: x2]
I'd love to be,
The shoulder that you cry on.
I'd love to be,
The friend you call when things are great.

You're the dream that hasn't ended,
And I'm still anxious for rest.
Your words they seem to hang above my head.
You're the bud before the flower,
Unfurls into full bloom.
Captivating beauty,
But it maybe all too soon.
You're the song that writes a story,
But leaves a lot to read.
The closest thing to perfect,
But the farthest thing from me.

[Chorus x2]

And like I really deserve a chance to,
Sit across the table,
And tell you that I think you're wonderful.
And I think you're something special.
I guess this is my only chance to,
Say I wish I knew you,
Because I'm sure you're wonderful,

I thought about what you said

In one night you made me your own
The deepest embrace's creation
I laid there for days and you forgot in one night
You made me your own in one hour
You gave me away to the angels
You sent me up to the sky
Now their wings fan the heat from the face
You'll never see the hair
You'll never smell the little hands
You'll never hold now I am but a silhouette down

Looking back alot has changed
We never thought there'd come a day when everything we used to live for
Everything we did and everything we say could fade away
Now we're left holding onto dreams
Small town kids
We're gonna get there
Now it's time
I see those city lights
I think it's time to go and we'll come back home
When we hit the big time and we'll come back

Some things can never be explained
Why every sky still looks the same
And I wonder how my world would look without you

Some things can never be explained
Like how our skies remain the same
And I wonder how the sky would look without my star
Sleep seems a dream away and a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream out my face

And I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish, you're my everything

Some things can never be explained
Why does your love remain unchanged?
'Cause I know it wouldn't be the same without you

Sleep seems a dream away and a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream out your face
And I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish, you're my everything

Please don't forget my name
And take me with you when you leave
I've got a lot to lose
I've got to let it go
