Lyrics
Verse 1:
I just stand there as you look right through me
I stop breathing but you just don’t see
I’m just wishing that I could be your dream
That I’d be all you want
‘Cause you’re all I ever need
Ba da da dum
Pre-Chorus:
And I know I should just move on
‘Cause you’ll never know where you belong
And I know that you’ve had your times
That there are other guys but
Chorus:
If you told me that you’re loving me, well maybe
If you told me that you couldn’t breathe, well maybe
Told me that you love my smile
Sorry that it took awhile
Well I might let you save me
Just maybe
Verse 2:
I was trying to get you out my dreams
It’s going well, until I fell asleep
To a world where you’re loving me
And I am all you want
‘Cause you’re all I’ll ever need
PreChorus
Chorus
Bridge:
But as the moonlight breaks
Its all my heart can take
To have to live my days without you
Without you
Chorus 2:
You never told me you were loving me
Never told me that you couldn’t breathe
You never said you love my smile
Never found me that worthwhile
I should just let go
But just so you know
Chorus

The World ©2009CaseyMcQuillen
Verse 1:
Starring at this ocean blue
I swore I wouldn’t think of you
Now I wonder
I’m blind but you can’t see
I know you do not think of me
Still I wonder
Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder
Why you love
Yes I wonder
Of another
Chorus:
You think you know the world
And I think the world of you
You know you know the truth
But that doesn’t make it true
And you think you love a girl
And I think she loves you too
So there’s not much else
I can do
Verse 2:
Envy can make can make green
My loves seems to makes you mean
So you wonder
Just me being here
Is enough to make the others stare
You just wonder
Pre-Chorus 2:
And you wonder
Why you love her
Yes you wonder
Of another
Chorus
Chorus 2:
You think you know the world
And I think the world of you
You know you know the truth
But that doesn’t make it true
And you think you love a girl
I would give the world to you
‘Cause there’s not much else I could do

Lovely ©2009CaseyMcQuillen
Verse 1:
I didn't notice
Were those roses
Always white?
See I was busy,
I had you with me
That whole night
Pre-Chorus:
And I wondered why
You even came
But I decided to
Be happy for a change
Chorus:
And we danced on the ice in the snow
And I fell into your eyes
And we danced through the night with the stars
I never want to say goodbye
And you played me a song with your heart
As it beat along with mine
And I know that with you I have had
The time of my life
Verse 2:
You're almost perfect
You're almost worth it
But you leave me scared
What if I see you
And you just see through
And you're no there?
Chorus
Bridge:
And you are lovely
I thought too lovely for me
But when you're with me
We can just be perfectly
Chorus

The Butterfly Song @CaseyMcQuillen2009
Verse 1:
I like to think of myself as a butterfly
And not a moth
But you're the flame
Butterflies don’t' feel the same as I do so
I ran to you
Like a moth to a flame
But to you it's just a game
‘Cause you don't feel the same as I do
Chorus:
My knees buckle when you're around
And I can't keep up so I'm falling down
To the moon and the stars to be where you are with
The crazy way I'm wanting
Oh you know I'm wanting
You, its true
Verse 2:
I like to think of the way we could be
If you loved me
It’d be lovely
Don’t you think?
But then I blink
And you are gone
Oh it is so wrong
How I don’t belong
In your arms
Chorus
Bridge:
And I dream in raindrops, guitars, coffee, roses and you
And you dream of driving away from this place
Oh boy I wish you knew
That I do, too
Verse 3:
Do you think of the way my heart beats
When you speak?
I get so weak
Chorus

Goodnight & Goodbye @CaseyMcQuillen2009
Verse 1:
You're waiting for me in the snow
But I don't want to go
Words we say cannot be undone
You had me waiting in the rain
Now that’s gonna’ have to change
‘Cause I learned you weren't the one
Pre-Chorus:
And now I'm walking in the dark
And I'm about to break my heart
Chorus:
He said, “Baby don't cry”
I said, “Why would I cry?
It's not like I'm standing here saying goodbye
To the boy that I loved for too little time
You're right, there's no reason to cry”
He said, “Baby don't leave”
I said, “Please leave me be
I can't be where you stopped loving me”
The silence was filled with so much sound
That's when the rain fell down
I said, “I'll see you around”
Verse 2:
He said a lot of words tonight
Try to make us be alright
But your words had nothing to say
What they made so clear
I don't belong here
Good for you, I'm on my way
Pre-Corus
Chorus
Chorus 2:
He said, “Baby don't leave”
I said, Please leave me be”
This is not how I want for you to see me
With tears falling down and my heart open wide
That part of me I meant to hide
I meant to be strong
And I meant to be tough
I meant to say sorry just wasn’t enough
I meant to be safe
You were supposed to be mine
But you're the one with goodbye
I'm the one with goodnight

Bright Lights @CaseyMcQuillen2008
Verse 1:
There's nothing about me
To explain why you care
There's nothing about me
That should make you want to stare
There's nothing about me
But that look in your eye
Tells me that someday
You pray, I'll tell him goodbye
Chorus:
Because bright lights always cast a shadow
The sun sometimes forgets to shine
Rain falls deeper than the ocean
Was it all worth the short time
You were mine?
Verse 2:
There's something about him
It drives me crazy inside
There's something about him
Do you think that he lied?
There's nothing about me
I can’t get over him
There's nothing about me
To make him worry he won't win
Chorus
