Better Off Together

BETTER OFF TOGETHER - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

We live in a world today when everyone has an opinion

(And shares it carelessly)

Every subject offers a tidal wave of deep emotions

(No need to worry Mr. Clean)

 

Telling us what to do

Don't fall in love with sin

That isn't what I said

Here they go again

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

We run around all over the place looking for an answer

(All the while the clock counts down)

Every day passes like a hurricane in sunny weather

(Nothing lost can ever be found)

 

Telling us to give it up

Don't think you can't let go

That isn't what I meant

They don't even know

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

Feeling like I felt before

Still feeling like a fool

Invite you over for some dinner

I'm twenty-two years old feeling ninety

 

We live in a world today when everyone has an opinion

Every subject offers a tidal wave of deep emotions

 

We run around all over the place looking for an answer

Every day passes like a hurricane in sunny weather

 

Telling us what to do

Don't think you can't let go

That isn't what I said

They will never know

 

This may last only for a moment

Maybe it will last forever

All I know is we can't stand to be apart

We're better off together

 

Take my hand and hold on for the moment

Never say never

All I know is you can have my heart

We're better off together

 

 

 

In Between

IN BETWEEN - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

She swore me to secrecy

When I believed she was the best thing

To ever happen to me

 

She broke me down so easily

To the point

Where I could hardly breathe

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

She took me down the street

I was dragging my feet

When I was thinking of the beach

 

She stole my song so wickedly

Just to make so much fun of me

Everything was peach

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

Life can be so inconspicuous

If you drink from the fountain of youth

 

It can drive you mad and delirious

Turning lies into truth
 

She swore me to secrecy

When I believed she was the best thing

To ever happen to me

 

She broke me down so easily

To the point

Where I could hardly breathe

 

Man, I can hardly breathe

 

The day is king

The night is queen

And in between

Nothing but lonely eyes

 

The day I've seen

The night I've dreamed

And in between

Nothing but this lonely guy

 

 

 

Love Or Stone

LOVE OR STONE - Written by Carroll Bryant

What would happen if I died

Would you cry for me

If in my thoughts that I was still alive

Would you believe in me or would you just leave

Me alone

When you're long gone because I'm not pretty anymore

And I'm done

I've grown tired of you too
 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

What would you do if I ran away

Would you bother looking for me

If in your translucent state of mind

Do I still appeal to you

Enough to find me still to be

Your well kept secret piece of nothing

Walking like the walking dead

And talking like a president elect

 

 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

I wanna be in love or turn me into stone

I wanna be loved or be left alone

I wanna be in love

 

 

Isn't this easier than trying to catch a rainbow?

Isn't this easier than searching for a leprechauns pot of gold?

Trying to catch a rainbow

Trying to catch a rainbow

 

 

Trying to catch a cold

 

 

I wanna be in love or turn me into stone

I wanna be loved or be left alone

I wanna be in love

 

 

That's the way of the world

When the rain comes down

When the snow falls

And everyone is lost in their souls

Drowning in their lusts

Everyone's a zombie now

I know

You look right through me like I'm not there

I'm not here at all

Love or stone

 

 

Love or stone

Love or stone

 

 

Love or leave me alone
