Lyrics

Verse 1

Walkin down the river
No one fishin
No one swimin
Tryin to lose the after-hours feelin here
My body has been battered and my teeth begin to chatter
See the world flash by me as I pull the car right in
See your smilin face, I long for your embrace
Yeah your eyes and your smile keep on pullin me back in
Hearts in California like the songs that try and warn ya
But the girl's gone and torn your broken heart into again

Chorus 1

Why does love come so hard sometimes
Ain't no storybook end here
Cause I been dying for the last hundred miles
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here

Verse 2

I'm headin from LA even though I wanna stay
Cause I never see the ocean anymore
Talkin on the phone still makes me feel like I'm alone
Yeah I still don't feel at home since I've been here
Because I'm back in Dallas in thinkin 'bout my heart that has been sinkin
The after-hour drinkin isn't helpin me at all
Back in LA I start to wonder
Be back before the summer
Your heart begins to wonder if you'll be losin me by then

Chorus 2

Why does love come so hard sometimes
Ain't no storybook end here
Cause I been dying for the last hundred miles
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here

Verse 3

Another time another place, another song another face
And I'd be happy back in Dallas without you
But I'm hopin and I'm prayin for your love that should be stayin
By my side until there's no more dreamin dew
I can't believe how far we've come and I won't leave until I'm done
Cause I can't escape the feelin when I'm standin next to you
I said I'd never leave you, I never would decieve you
The love I found so easy is the hardest one to lose

Chorus 3

Why does love come so hard sometimes
Ain't no storybook end here
Cause I been dying for the last hundred miles
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here
Cause I don't wanna leave ya here
