Alena
preverse1
the right words are hard to come by these days
verse1
i look down and my vision's so blurred from the tears you leave in my eyes. swore to myself i wouldn't cry anymore about this, but I can't help myself, no not tonight.
chorus1
Just like Superman I'd spin the globe backwards if i could to go back and save you from that car crash that saturday. xray vision and kryptonite and fireballs and magic potions
preverse2
oh maybe we'd all be superheros if we could. But we're not.
verse2
i about fell in love with you the first time we met we fell over my couch do you remember that? I do. cooked you fine italian food and scary movies and we loved until you went home. Now you've gone home.
chorus2
i remember the news when it broke, did you know a girl named alena? yeah i did she was beautiful and wonderful and so full of life and her smile and her hair and her eyes and that stare, and she loved god and the world, such pretty little girl, why do you ask? oh my god oh my god, oh my god oh my
god, no.
preverse3
almost 19 years of pretty i'll miss
verse3
this tattoo on my wrist it's here to remind me, of how beautiful life can be. You still make me smile when i think about your heart, but it hurts my heart when i think bout it too hard.
chorus3
Tendons and veins run right through your name, every note that i play, and every breath that i take, you're right there with me. alena, alena
bridge1
when i sleep at night, you'll be by my side, come visit me in my dreams any time you like, oh, alena.
preverse4
i remember that girl named alena
verse 4
so if you know a girl like that, you tell her she's beautiful tell her how much she means to you, you play a song for her and let the words tell her how you feel, how you love her. if you wait till tonight, tomorrow might not bring another chance.
chorus 4
i thank my stars for the night we spent oh we loved each other, if only for a moment. Yeah it was there and we felt it. You said I figured you out, well now I'm figuring out, that life is beautiful. It's so beautiful, you were so beautiful to me.
bridge
maybe i can be to the world what you were to me. maybe this song will play for the ones like you, for the ones that knew, for the ones that love like you... did, just maybe, oh baby, alena.
chorus5
No Superman or tattoo or beating heart or shooting star or this guitar will bring you back, but there's dreams and i'll dream of you, dream of a girl that loved life and dancing and flutes and the weather, food and music and she gave her life so we'd remember what life is for,
postchorus
it's for people like you, alena.
