Kept in Check
They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So tell you other kids all across the land
There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand
I remember one year, my mom took me school shoppin'
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh my pop,
And my little sister all hopped in the car
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started buggin' with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothin' at first, I just turned up my nose
She said, "What's wrong, the shirt costs twenty dollar
5 Days In May
They met in a hurricane
standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
later on they took his car
drove down on where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand
Somehow they stayed that way
for those five days in may
made all the stars around them shine
funny how you can look in vain
living on hers and such sweet pain
loneliness that cuts so fine
find the face you've seen a thousand times
sometimes the world begins
to set you up on your feet again
and i know it wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
the way that circumstances go
always gonna hit you by surprise
But i know my past
and you were there
in everything i've done
you are the one.........
Looking back it's hard to tell
Why the stood while others fell
spend your life working it out
all I know is one cloudy day
they both just ran away
rain on the windsheild had it's sound
oh she loved the lines around his mouth
sometimes the world begins
to set you up on your feet again
and i know it wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
the way that circumstances go
always gonna hit you by surprise
But i know my past
and you were there
in everything i've done
you are the one.........
