Lyrics

MY HEART RUNS THE SHOW

Lying in my bed
Holding a picture of you in my hands
With my heart stone dead
I'm tangled in time in some kind of trance
All the years we shared
Roll through my brain
Frame by frame

CHORUS
Ferris wheel rides to fishing pier sunsets
Kaleidoscope photographs vividly flash across my mind
And your pretty face, oh this is killing me don't you know
This playback in my mind has to stop
But my heart that runs the show

I close my eyes and there we are On a tropical island in Belize
I'm chasing you down the beach
I can still hear your laughter bouncing on the breeze
All these sights and sounds consume me so
Why can't I let them go?

CHORUS
Picnics in the park, pillow fights in our bed
Kaleidoscope photographs vividly flash across my mind
And your pretty face, oh this is killing me don't you know
This playback in my mind has to stop
But my heart that runs the show

BRIDGE
Now it's four in the morning
Can't sleep so I turn the TV on
I'm flipping through every channel and all I see

CHORUS
Is a crowd outside a church, confetti on your veil
Kaleidoscope photographs vividly flash across my mind
And your pretty face, oh this is killing me don't you know
This playback in my mind has to stop
But my heart that runs the show
