"It's A Sin" (Twenty seconds and counting... T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay) ??

I like where we are, When we drive, in your car I like where we are.... Here Cause our lips, can touch And our cheeks, can brush Our lips can touch... here Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you suddenly Now there's no place else I could be, but here in your arms I like where you sleep, When you sleep, next to me. I like where you sleep... here Our lips, can touch And our cheeks, can brush cause our lips can touch... here Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you suddenly Now there's no place else I could be, but here in your arms Our lips, can touch Our lips, can touch...here Well you are the one the one that lies close to me Whispers "Hello, I miss you quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you suddenly Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms You are the one the one that lies close to me Whispers "hello I miss you, quite terribly" I fell in love, in love with you suddenly Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms Here in your arms. But here in your arms.

"Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn" The wilted flowers that I gave Were not as nice as your bouquet All the lyrics that I wrote Not as smart as the words you spoke The starlight above my hometown Ain't as bright as the star I've found Every drawing that I drew Was never ever as cute as you Serious as a heart attack I'm looking in my almanac I gotta find out all the things And find out where she got her wings Shimmy shimmy quarter turn I feel like I will never learn How can I check lost and found When I'm too busy getting down (Wasn't ready for that one) (Take it back to square one) [x2] Gotta get it back to A backup plan to find you Start acceleration Take it back to square one I swear that I'm not kidding We're just looking to fit in With all the other answers Questions never confirmed States that keep us far apart Track the beating of my heart Mark the places in my book With photographs we never took I swear that I'm not kidding The night time is so pretty With all the stars above your eyes I'm sneaking out and making ties States that keep us far apart Track the beating with a chart Mark the rhythms that I shook Everytime I caught you look [x4] Gotta get it back to A backup plan to find you Start acceleration Take it back to square one

So with this drink I can surrender and ten later I pretend To have you to hold you I relive all the things I should've said Like what's wrong I'm not well 200 miles yeah it sure is far Can I go back when we We're honeymooning and the time was right? Wait for me I'll make it up. So I'll kill the doubt I'll put the fire out Extinguish everything Might even forget your name Waiting for you Come back And let me off the hook again. So with this drink I can forget her and ten later I pretend That it's not me It's just not me I'll place the blame on anyone I see So forget it I'm done with this Too many feelings of an old regret Convincing it's convincing the way I lie and leave it all behind So I'll kill the doubt I'll put the fire out Extinguish everything Might even forget your name Waiting for you Come back and let me off the hook again. Wait for me I'll make it up

CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag. And everything I own don't fill up half. But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack. All I care about is getting back real soon. A goodbye kiss is all I need from you. Chorus: I'm carrying your love with me. West Virginia down to Tennessee. I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed. Carrying your love with me. It's my strength for holdin' on, Every minute that I have to be gone. I'll have everything I ever need. Carrying your love with me. On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain. Darlin' all I have to do is speak your name. The clouds roll back and the waters part. The sun starts shining in my heart for you. You're right there in everything I do, 'cause... Repeat Chorus
