Lyrics

Drive Away
Stay (ep. 412, The Hills)
Wasted Words (ep. 404, The Hills)
Leave the Light On
Come Tomorrow (ep. 13, Real World XX: Hollywood; ep. 419, The Hills; ep. 204, Tough Love on VH1)
Starting Over (ep. 405, The Hills)
You Never Know (ep. 418, The Hills)

Drive Away

I packed my bags for paradise
where all the dreamers go
I sold my soul for a one-way flight
and held on tight to hope

The local time read twelve-oh-three
we descended to the ground
At twelve fifteen I stepped outside
and the rain came pouring down

It's not the way everybody said things would go
So tell me why I'm soaking to the bone

[Chorus]
If you're heading in on the 405
and see nothing ahead but rain
drive away
If you're looking to find something better
save your dreaming for another day
and drive away, drive away

Maybe someday you'll pass me by
still standing in the rain
I'll be the one there standing on the corner of Sunset
and what might have been

It's not the way everybody said things would go
So tell me why I'm soaking to the bone
[Repeat Chorus]

Stay (as heard on MTV's The Hills)

I'm every color of the rainbow
when all you really want is shades of gray
and you're the calm that's at the center
when I blow in just like a hurricane

Constant commotion
You know my heart is holding fast

[Chorus]
I come and I go, I say yes I say no
but you always forgive me
I'm up and I'm down, I'm inside I'm around
and you're right there with me
so stay
please stay
just stay

I run a thousand miles an hour
I can't imagine ever standing still
but if you promise you'll be waiting at the finish line
for you I will

Constant confusion
You know my heart is holding fast

[Repeat Chorus]

Nothing worth it's ever easy
giving up is not your style
For as long as you believe me
I can make it worth your while

Wasted Words (as heard on MTV's The Hills)

I didn't mean to be so understanding
it was never my intent to let you walk right over me
I never meant to wonder why my calls would go unanswered
I'm sorry that I waited patiently

I was wrong, I was wrong

[Chorus]
So now
I'm taking back those wasted words
and all those things I didn't mean to say
Oh I'm taking back those wasted words
and thinking that I'm better off this way

I'm sure you didn't mean to disappoint me
and I bet you're feeling sorry now that you are on your own
I bet you're losing sleep since you found out that I had walked away
I'm sure you're spending every night alone

You were wrong, you were wrong

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm taking back all the times I said I loved you
and I'm taking back all the times I said I cared

[Repeat Chorus]

Leave the Light On

You think you understand the world at seventeen
You think there's nothing standing in your way but time
But something happens in the minutes in between
and suddenly youÕve got to learn about goodbye

'cause it can bring you to your knees
to let somebody go

[Chorus]
You hold on just a little bit tighter
Don't ever let them out of your mind
and for those who are here
and those who are gone
every day and every night
You leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on

Even though you sometimes feel your heart might break
part of growing up is going it alone
So hold your breath and watch them make their own mistakes
and lie awake and pray they'll make it safely home

Though it can bring you to your knees
you've got to let them go

[Repeat Chorus]

Come Tomorrow (as heard on MTV's Real World XX, The Hills, and VH1's Tough Love)

You've been waiting on an answer
to something that's been on your mind
They tell you to be patient
that all will be revealed in time

So you keep on treading water
waiting for the tide to turn
and wondering all the while
when will it get easier?

[Chorus]
Come tomorrow
Come tomorrow
Come tomorrow
and leave today to yesterday

You're well aware of what you're missing
You count up every sacrifice you've made
But don't you ever stop believing
that it's worth it all someday

[Repeat Chorus]

Starting Over (as heard on MTV's The Hills)

No introductions, baby
You know me like the back of your hand
I know we had our problems
Things didn't always go the way that we planned

But I'd rather live with losing you one more time
than regret never having tried

[Chorus]
Starting over for the last time
One more go around
Can we make it work somehow
Starting over for the last time
Can we find away
to not repeat our past mistakes

No more disappointments
no more thinking 'bout the things that we've said
You know we didn't mean 'em
so now it's time to forgive and forget

and banish all the memories to the back of our minds
Let's not waste the chance to leave it all behind

[Repeat Chorus]

Lord knows I'm willing to try
to start all over again for the very last time

I'm asking why, why don't we try
before we say goodbye

[Repeat Chorus]

You Never Know (as heard on MTV's The Hills)

I don't know exactly how it all began
There's so much I didn't understand before
How you can see someone a thousand times, and then
suddenly you see more

I'm standing in the sky tonight
The world I knew is far below
You're the one who holds me up this high
and it just goes to show
You never know
You never know

All around me everything has changed
The sky is green and the ground is blue
And there is only one thing left to take the blame
and that one thing is you

I'm standing in the sky tonight
The world I knew is far below
You're the one who holds me up this high
and it just goes to show
You never know
You never know

You never know who your hero will be
when you finally see
that he's all that you need
Turns your world upside-down
just by being around, indeed

I'm standing in the sky tonight
The world I knew is far below
You're the one who holds me up this high
and it just goes to show
You never know
You never know
