Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
The lights change on the hill The air seems strangely still Everyone's asleep The floorboards creak at dawn As you walk out on the lawn The grass is wet beneath You think it rather strange You think it rather weird It's fair to say that Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here The phone is off the hook As you sink into a book You don't know where you are From the world; detached Unto a girl you latched It never got too far And everybody talks And everybody stares It's safe to say that Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here And everybody's dawn And everybody cares You knew your day to shine Would come without you here Come without you here, Nothing was keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here
