the bells still ring

it's a long and lonesome road, if you ain't got nobody to hold, so i fell in love with a girl, and then i told her so, she was drunk in a fountain, blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing, and i thought it was childish, but then i caught the joke, it made me laugh, and it made me sneeze like a common cold, and i felt alive, and i wanted her to know, the maps of all faces told our tales, showed us where to go, and sometimes you read one, you already seem to know, the story you've been wishing for, and a face you want to see, when you turn out the light, when you drift off to sleep, that's a road you want to travel, that's the place you want to be, and that is the girl in your dream, trouble comes and trouble goes, but love is like the open road, roll down the window, breathe the air in, and when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat, to heal the hurt, to keep the warmth in, and so you read, and you dream and get nervous 'cause it seems, like the words start to blur over time, but all things come and go, it's the way of the world, it's up to us to keep it alive, and the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name, you make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man, you're my everything and the bells still ring, it's a long and lonesome road, if you ain't got nobody to hold, so if you really love someone, then you should let them know, i was thinking about walking out, but then i cut myself at the devils mouth, i was foolish but we must break ourselves to grow, you're my ocean, you're my bolt, my undertow, you're my woman, will you join me down this road?, trouble comes and trouble goes, but love is like the open road, roll down the window, breathe the air in, and when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat, to heal the hurt, to keep the warmth in, growing up and growing old, watch our stories unfold, like an atlas to places unknown, an the point of it all is that, we can't be scared to fall, or to fly, or sink, or swim, and the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name, you make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man, you're my everything and the bells still ring, just remember that we? re loved in many different ways, but i will fight for this, i am here to stay, you're my everything and the bells still ring
