How Could I Live - Dennis Brown

It was the coldest day in December A day I always will remember I looked into your eyes and faced my deepest fear I had drifted too far, far from you, my dear So how could I turn away from the one I love? How could I, when I know what my heart's made of? Could it be, oh, that your soul lives inside of me? How could I ever say goodbye? Why was I so afraid to tell her? For her I would fight a thousand soldiers But just like an angry child I kept my feelings locked inside There were rivers of tears flowing from her eyes So how could I turn away from the one I love? How could I, when I know what my heart's made of? Could it be, oh, oh, that your soul lives inside of me? How could I ever say goodbye? How could I ever say goodbye? When you fall in love You never know how long it lasts But the one thing I knew in my heart Is that I was fading much too fast So how could I turn away from the one I love? How could I, when I know what my heart's made of? Could it be, oh, that your soul lives inside of me? How could I ever say goodbye? How could I say goodbye? How could I say goodbye?

I thought that you meant it Yeah I did I thought that we felt it, the fire- Like we were kids I thought that I found you I thought we were meant to- Change the world in each other's Hands, thought that you were with my plans But you, took back a moment I lacked to remember everything we made- Where are you going? Where are you going? I think I might run away To the years that I felt so safe- In my head In my head How could I forget? How could I How could I How could I regret? How could I How could I Why would I go try to find another you? How are we supposed to be? Strangers with a memory- Mystery, you think I'm a mystery- I heard that you found out that I know- But rumors are powerless against what feeds my soul- You're more than a heartbeat You're more than my baby I don't know where I'd even be, if you never reached for me But this, little flame that's breathing Your name keeps flickering without your touch I'm only floating I'm never lonely I think I might lose my mind With you here most of the time In my head In my head How could I forget? How could I How could I How could I regret? How could I How could I How could I How could I

I'm a little skeptical about the way you fry your eggs And I'll never understand your love of Sundays I don't quite know the bends of all the lanes in your head But I hope to walk closer to them some day A lifetime of troubles But how could I not love you? But in the end it's irresistible And it's kind of invisible Two souls, two souls Messing it all up as they go But how could I not? A total lack of a system for not losing your keys Would it be impossible to leave them by the front door? But I'll turn up every day for all these great mysteries Though in truth, you probably love the cat more A lifetime of wonders But how could I not? A lifetime of grumbles But how could I not? (Two souls, two souls, two souls, two souls) A lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? But in the end, it's irresistible Two souls making it all up as they go But how could I not love? Lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? Oh, what a funny slice of miracle Two souls messing it all up, they go But how could I not love? Lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you? Oh, in the end, it's irresistible Two souls, two souls Just making it up A lifetime of troubles, but how could I not love you?

We take a drive just to sing along Every word of them Rolling Stones Stacey's mom had it goin' on Lived three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you Blink-182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Nothin' like freedom two windows down You singin' along, still hear it now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my head And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You were at side seat, center stage Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town And that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars Back when we were rockstars We never ended up on MTV Or heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rockstars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leeanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Yeah, back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) You and me were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) oh yeah (Running all night, chasing down a dream) Yeah, we were runnin' all night, chasing down a dream Howlin' at the moon, baby, you and me
