Eric Andrew Taylor

It's a big ol' world
So what did I miss
California Girl
Oregon Bliss

It's a matter of time
And it's a matter of heart
Take a look at my life
Let's go back to the start
And I don't know why I'm standing here
While the rain is falling down
And I don't know why it's crystal clear
What could go wrong
What could go wrong

It's a picture-perfect kinda world with you
World with you

Hey, the truth is I don't know another
Who makes me feel like there's nothing wrong

It's a picture-perfect kinda world with you
World with you


And I don't know why I'm standing here
While the rain is falling down
And I don't know why it's crystal clear
What could go wrong
What could go wrong
What could go wrong

It's a picture-perfect kinda world with you
World with you

Tulips and daisies are your favorite flowers
I know it’s kind of different, but I don’t think that it matters
I’ll tell you every day
You’re so sweet when you talk, and as pretty as a bouquet

I promise I’ll be nice
I swear I’ll treat you right
Come on sit next to me
I want to see my favorite color when I look into your eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Nice guys may finish last, but they always get the good girls, right

Sunrise and seven are your favorite hours
I know it’s kind of different, but I don’t think that it matters
I’ll tell you every day
You’re so sweet when you talk, and as pretty as a bouquet

I promise I’ll be nice
I swear I’ll treat you right
Come on sit next to me
I want to see my favorite color when I look into your eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Nice guys may finish last, but they always get the good girls, right

All the lonely boys on this side of Nashville
Only wanna hold your hand
Cause all the lonely boys surround you like a castle
When you’re down, lift you up again

Am I just one, just one of them
Emma, Emma could ya let me in

All the lonely girls on this side of Nashville
Only wanna walk s***
Cause all the lonely girls pretty in their high heels
Never really get it

Cause I just want one
Emma, Emma could I

Understand you even if you told me
Could I ever hold you and do you even know me
What’s it like inside a brain that splits out into roads
Your soul is like a map and I’m just a street you used to roam

Emma, Emma could ya let me in

There’s something ‘bout your name, your face and every street I walk
I’m coming through town today and I just wanna talk

Emma, Emma could ya let me in

And I, yeah I’m just fine
It’s not what you think, it’s not what you think
And I, yeah I’m alright
But you say we should meet, you say we should meet

I don’t want to get caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in the middle with
I don’t want to get caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in the middle with you

And I, just need some time
Time to start healing, some time to start feeling
And I, yeah I’m just fine
But if fines all I’m feeling and time is all it’s healing

I don’t want to get caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in the middle with
I don’t want to get caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in the middle with you

I found your shirt behind my sweater
Must’ve been in there all summer long
Like a shot in the arm, like a goodbye letter
For a minute I forgot you were gone

I’m on the way down
I don’t know how I never got past that
I’m in the background
Your memory’s like a relapse

I roll a blunt in my apartment
I look down to the street and I see us
You’re a beam of light, a beautiful narcotic
But I’m alone again on the city bus

I’m on the way down
I don’t know how I never got past that
I’m in the background
Your memory’s like a relapse

Sweetheart it’s true, the waves still crash
Under the boardwalk where we held hands
Sweetheart it’s true, the waves still crash
They never stopped, despite my broken heart

I’m on the way down
I don’t know how I never got past that
I’m in the background
Your memory’s like a relapse

I’m on the way down

You’re a stranger on the west coast
I’m in love with a girl that I don’t know
You’re a stranger on the west coast
I’m in love with a girl that I don’t know

'Cause I’m a lucky man because I have you
Lucky man because I hold you
A lullaby that I wrote for you

You break my heart and then you fix it
The puzzle piece that’s been missing
A lullaby that I wrote for you

I wish I could show you the world
And what you mean to me
So I’ll write you this song

I wish I could buy you every gift
From every single gift shop
But it wouldn’t be enough

I wish I could hold back the rain
We’d walk through the park like it’s summer again
Breathe you in

You’re young and fragile, like a bird in the sky
And I’m old like gravel, I’ve been kicked around too many times
I’d never hurt you if I could, so you let your guard down
You’re like a glass of wine that’s clouding up my mind

Oh, you captivate me, oh, you captivate me
I’m getting lost in the beautiful prison in your eyes
Oh, you captivate me, oh, you captivate me
And if you’d let me, I’d love to come on in and stay a while

I looked at you and you smiled at me
And then I knew that there was something more to this than we
Cause I just got out, and you’ve never been
So let’s start over and love begin

Oh, you captivate me, oh, you captivate me
I’m getting lost in the beautiful prison in your eyes
Oh, you captivate me, oh, you captivate me
And if you’d let me, I’d love to come on in and stay a while

Oh, you captivate me, I’d love to come on in and stay a while
Oh, you captivate me, Oh oh, oh oh

Oh, you captivate me, oh, you captivate me
And I’m getting lost in the beautiful prison in your eyes
Oh, you captivate me. oh, you captivate me
And if you’d let me, I’d love to come on in and stay a while

The summer months are coming
I don’t know how to take it
The memory of a lover
Picture frames and bracelets
And they say keep your head up boy

Cause May is like Miranda
I could not understand her
Her voice is like a riddle
That leads me to the water
And I drowned when she kissed my lips

Cause every time I think I’m gettin’ over her it cycles back around
And every time I think I’m gettin’ over her it cycles back around


June it always hits me
It makes me think of Lizzy
And I sneak around this small town
And I wonder if you miss me
I can still hear you say let’s take the long way home

July is full of boredom
It makes me think of Morgan
She dated all my best friends
My high school crush, I never told her
I bet she’s married now

Cause every time I think I’m gettin’ over her it cycles back around
And every time I think I’m gettin’ over her it cycles back around

I’m not done looking for love
I’m not done looking for love
I’m not done looking for you love

Cause every time I think I’m gettin’ over her it cycles back around

Tulips and daisies are your favorite flowers
I know it’s kind of different, but I don’t think that it matters
I’ll tell you every day
You’re so sweet when you talk, and as pretty as a bouquet

I promise I’ll be nice
I swear I’ll treat you right
Come on sit next to me
I want to see my favorite color when I look into your eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Nice guys may finish last, but they always get the good girls, right

Sunrise and seven are your favorite hours
I know it’s kind of different, but I don’t think that it matters
I’ll tell you every day
You’re so sweet when you talk, and as pretty as a bouquet

I promise I’ll be nice
I swear I’ll treat you right
Come on sit next to me
I want to see my favorite color when I look into your eyes
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Nice guys may finish last, but they always get the good girls, right
