Songs by Rob McLafferty – for publishers, artists, music supervisors and listeners

Looking at you, looking out there

The lighted skyline adds so much to your hair

And your eyes, so subtle with those skies

Alone tonight, in a busy world

Can’t think of a better time, to be with you girl

Right now, let me show you how

Take away the lights and you will see a dream

Lacking all extravagance, it’s not what it seems

Strip me of my wealth, and take my soul too

Nothing can end this feeling

When I’m you

Time will let us see, time is on our side

All things are conquered and there’s nothing to hide

With you, you’re so beautiful

So let’s take it slow, let’s make it smart

Don’t want to see the ending, before I see the start

Of something real, finally I can feel

Take away the lights and you will see a dream

Lacking all extravagance, it’s not what it seems

Strip me of my wealth, and take my soul too

Nothing can end this feeling

When I’m you

When I’m you

When I’m you

When I’m you

What does it take to break my heart?

What does it take to put me away?

It’s been two long years and I can’t figure it out

For it’s you I’m still thinkin’ so much about

Maybe it’s the way the words with you flow

It gives me something to write, to cling to

Maybe I like to think that it’s still the same

And your strong love for me still remains

Well I hate looking ahead

And I hate looking back

Such are the words

Of a lost love attack

I’ve done all I can

To get you out of my head

But all roads come back

To you, again

What does it take to break the bow, I don’t know

I’m too scared of falling and losing my ground

Back and forth my feelings go, like a rocking horse

No one is riding, it’s out of control and off course

Well I hate looking ahead

And I hate looking back

Such are the words

Of a lost love attack

I’ve done all I can

To get you out of my head

But all roads come back

To you, again

Somethin’s got to be right

Somethin’s got to be wrong

Too strays my heart tonight

To figure out what is strong

And deep down inside I know it’s a wasted effort

I don’t even know which way is up or which way to go

And the lack of signals from you still puts me in a daze

Love is the greatest fighter driving reality away

It’s hard for me to quit, hard for me to fail

Hard for me to see the end and know it’s really the end

Is there any justice in still loving you

I won’t pay attention to the verdict, I just want you

Well I hate looking ahead

And I hate looking back

Such are the words

Of a lost love attack

I’ve done all I can

To get you out of my head

But all roads come back

To you, again

Passing by your eyes

They haven’t met

Will I ever be so lucky

Why can’t I forget

I can’t stop gazing at you

You seem so far away

But that look, a look soft

What else could it portray

Blonde and fair

Blue fills the air

You’re more than just color

The way that you hold your own

Better than any other

I know I’m just dreamin’

But what am I to do

Every time you’re near me

I can’t stop dreaming about you

Oh we fall in love so fast

But is it true?

Why does it last

Oh my infatuation

With you?

I center my every move around you

It’s such a game

In this tug of war

I don’t even know your name

But you became goddess

Towering over me

And now I’m at your mercy

Fueled by your beauty

I can’t find the courage to say hello

It would be out of context

That I should’ve known

But maybe one day I’ll scare myself

Become more than just a fool

Until then I’ll have to keep obeying

The golden rule

Oh we fall in love so fast

But is it true?

Why does it last

Oh my infatuation

With you?

Will those eyes, ever reflect in mine

What would they see in time

The bottom line is not so complete

The only real question is will we ever meet

Oh we fall in love so fast

But is it true?

Why does it last

Oh my infatuation

With you?

Oh we fall in love so fast

But is it true?

Why does it last

Oh my infatuation

With you?

It’s been a few since I’ve seen you

Why are you still in my heart?

Time hasn’t helped my soul

Hasn’t made me smart

For your love is still real

And when I think of you I still feel

A tingle of happiness, a shimmer of hope

Maybe you’re far, maybe it’s my lonely guitar

Softly I strum, dreaming that I’m playing you

Becoming one, letting the past make it true

Twenty-four hours around the clock

My heart never stops

It’s a never ending journey to a place

Where I might one day see your face

Forgiving me, loving me

Coming from afar, to hear my lonely guitar

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you

Giving up the good life

A sacrifice self-directed

Success surrounds me

But within it can’t be detected

If I don’t have you

I don’t have me

And my slaved love

Will never be free

From pretending that I’m someone new

Who doesn’t have a life that surrounds you

Oh you are too far, come listen to my lonely guitar

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you

We were riding our crazy wheel of life every day

Rushing here and there, a little numb along the way

But then our lines crossed and it seemed much more than chance

And the power of fate took over with a simple glance

Sometimes that everything feeling is a total mystery

Halfway through my life I finally feel free

But I don’t care how complicated it gets

All I know is that you’re my only best bet

And she’s the one for me

I know it’s right

I know it’s true

And he’s the one for me

I see the light

I so want you

And we can finally see

There is no doubt

Its crystal clear

You’re the one for me

A force so strong took over my weak heart

From that point on I knew it from the very start

That true love can come in any kind of form

Rushing through my body like the only perfect storm

Every little piece of you makes me want you more

And my crazy heart and finally feel for

A man that lets me be who I am

A man that gets me and can finally understand

And she’s the one for me

I know it’s right

I know it’s true

And he’s the one for me

I see the light

I so want you

And we can finally see

There is no doubt

Its crystal clear

You’re the one for me

And he’s the one for me

I know it’s right

I know it’s true

And she’s the one for me

I see the light

I so want you

And we can finally see

There is no doubt

Its crystal clear

You’re the one for me

You’re the one for me

You’re the one for me

You’re the one for me
