Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long I met a boy in South Bay LA Loved nothin more Than to surf all day When I hit the bottle we lost our luck He hated when I smoked In his pickup truck When I look at him I dunno where to begin He still takes care of all the shapes I’m in Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long Well I knew a boy from SFV I paid for his gas So the grass was free We drove down the coast with his hand on my thigh Felt so good I could just up and die Since I left my heart in the passenger seat I hunt the 5 like a killer for lips so sweet Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long Now I’ve got a boy in Chicago Land He bangs the drums In a traveling band When we’re in a crowd, He always meets my gaze Before we go out, He knows it’s time to blaze He gets me lifted, you don’t gotta understand I gotta call him up, as soon as my plane lands Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long Hey Now Are you around? I’d like to find out Cause I’m coming through town Don’t wanna bug you, But is it so wrong? Cause I’d kill to hug you For just a little too long

They said it must feel, So good to be home! But every time I get to leaving, It makes me wanna stay gone, Cause I just can’t ignore, No matter what I do, If you’re not there, then it’s not home, No matter where I got the keys to. They said welcome back! It’s nice to see your face, And I missed them all too, Like this familiar place. But I just can’t ignore, No matter what I do, If you’re not there, then it’s not home, No matter where I got the keys to. It’s wild how we met, Nearly ships in the night. But you were standing right before me, When they turned on the lights. Now I just can’t ignore, No matter what I do, If you’re not there, then it’s not home, No matter where I got the keys to. No I just can’t ignore, No matter what I do, If you’re not there, then it’s not home, No matter where I got the keys to.

The sweetest thing I can say Is you never made me worry, No I never worried about you at all. When so many others Made my heart stop, You were the softest place I’d care to fall. Do your eyes still light up? When I walk in a room? Do you mean it when you say You hope we cross paths soon? When I sing you Townes? Will your laugh draw me close? Cause truly, I’ve missed you the most. If we’re being honest I got nothing to lose I’d call you a hall of fame muse You know they just don’t make ‘em Like you anymore A pleasure, but never a chore. Do your eyes still light up? When I walk in a room? Do you mean it when you say You hope we cross paths soon? When I sing you Townes? Will your laugh draw me close? Cause truly, I’ve missed you the most. That girl you were with I wanted only the best As my heart beats out of my chest I’ll bite my lip And keep quiet I guess Until you tell me how I did it best Do your eyes still light up? When I walk in a room? Do you mean it when you say You hope we cross paths soon? When I sing you Townes? Will your laugh draw me close? Cause truly, I’ve missed you the most.

He asked me, “Do you have a man these days?” I said, “Not more than I ever usually do..” Shook his head, No, he couldn’t keep a straight face. He said, “Some things never change Lovin you…” But you don’t ask me to come home, You don’t ask me to slow down. I only hear from others, That you wish I’d stick around. So before we end up haunted By the way things used to be, Come on over darlin, Pour out your heart to me. And he wondered, How many fellas are there stateside? Makin’ eyes, And tryin’ to impress? Crossed his arms, When I joked about a ball park If he said more, There’d be a whole lot less… But you don’t ask me to come home, You don’t ask me to slow down. I only hear from others, That you wish I’d stick around. So before we end up haunted By the way things used to be, Come on over darlin, Pour out your heart to me. He said baby, “Go on do just what you please!” When I asked him What he thought I oughta do. Bowed my head, Don’t wanna play catch and release. I said, “Some things never change Lovin you…” But you don’t ask me to come home, You don’t ask me to slow down. I only hear from others, That you wish I’d stick around. So before we end up haunted By the way things used to be, Come on over darlin’ Pour out your heart to me. Come on over darlin’ Pour out your heart to me

Will this be the song That makes you love me again? Will this be the song That makes you take me in your arms? Will this be the song To ease your anxious mind? Will this be the song To mend this lonesome heart? And if you leave Just leave me here to dream Resting deep On sheets that smell like you And if you leave Just leave me here to dream And let me pretend that you are mine Ohhh ohhh ohh ohhhh Will this be the song That makes you love me again? Will this be the song That makes our house a home? Will there come a day You change your tune, my dear? Will there come a night Where I don’t have to dance alone? And if you leave Just leave me here to dream Resting deep On sheets that smell like you And if you leave Just leave me here to dream And let me pretend that you are mine Ohhh ohhh ohh ohhhh Will this be the song That makes you love me again? Will this be the song That makes you take me in your arms? Will this be the song To ease your anxious mind? Will this be the song To mend this lonesome heart? And if you leave Just leave me here to dream Resting deep On sheets that smell like you And if you leave Just leave me here to dream And let me pretend that you are mine Ohhh ohhh ohh ohhhh

I stole your dreams One night I swear So you could rest your head Now every time I see Your face My heart is full of dread She walks with monsters He makes deals with demons She’s been dreaming of snakes For too many reasons If you collect pennies And trade them for blood Those are dangerous stakes Boy you’ll die in the mud Some evil thing So dark And cruel Crept in from every side Now every time You speak My name In shadows I must hide She walks with monsters He makes deals with demons She’s been dreaming of snakes For too many reasons If you collect pennies And trade them for blood Those are dangerous stakes Boy you’ll die in the mud I think you know How much It cost To bring her love to you I hope it’s worth All that You lost May she always be true She walks with monsters He makes deals with demons She’s been dreaming of snakes For too many reasons If you collect pennies And trade them for blood Those are dangerous stakes Boy you’ll die in the mud
