"Right About Now" by Ty Herndon (Darrell Brown/Michael Peterson)
1st Verse
Right about now
She's happy to let the mornin'
Sun through the window kiss her face
Right about now
I bet she's finishin' up her crossword
And lovin' the way her coffee tastes
Pre Chorus
Right about now
I wish I was more than just a memory to her
I didn't listen somehow
Chorus
When she said, 'You'll miss me if you go'
And I swore before I slammed the door,
'I'll never think of you again'
Oh, I was so wrong back then
And she was so
Right about now (yeah)
2nd Verse
Right about now
Shouldn't I be the one
Who's better for all the time that's past
Oh, and shouldn't I be
The one who's tellin' friends
I'm happy to be alone at last
Pre Chorus
There's nothin' right about now
It's just like she promised on the day I left her
What goes around comes around
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag
Right about now
Shouldn't I be the one
"Putting The Brakes On Time" by Ty Herndon (Jon McElroy/Ned McElroy)
1st Verse
I'm cuttin' off the telephone
You unplug the TV
At the rate life's passin' us by, we
Can't take the time to breathe
And I know you can't turn time a-round
But maybe there's a way to
Slow it down
1st Chorus
Sippin' iced tea from a backporch swing
Layin' by a river as the world runs by
Makin' sweet love while the mockingbird sings
We can try (you and I)
Puttin' the brakes on time
(Puttin' the brakes on time, yeah yeah yeah)
2nd Verse
We need to last have a heart to heart talk
Over a glass o' wine
I stop and watch the grass grow
I smell a honeysuckle vine
We can't put the sand back in the hourglass
But we can hold each other, baby
And make this weekend last
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
2nd Chorus
We can sip an iced tea from a backporch swing
Lay down by the river as the world runs by
Make sweet love while the mockingbird sings
Can't stop the clock
But we can sure 'nuff try to
Put the brakes
Put the brakes on time
Put the brakes
Put the brakes on time
We can slow it down, baby
And put the brakes on time
We can slow it down, baby
And put the brakes on time, yeah
"No Mercy" by Ty Herndon (Dennis Morgan/Todd Cerney/Stephen Allen Davis)
1st Verse
Don't think I'm sorry's what we need to say
Don't think forgiveness is why we're here today
Guilty, we're both guilty
Let's walk through that door
A second chance is what I'm talkin' about
Let's take the hurt and turn it inside out
Lay it on me, baby, 'til I can't take any more
Chorus
No mercy, show me no mercy
Love me all night long and don't hurry
Take it slow and easy, no mercy tonight
(No mercy, show me no mercy)
Hold me, baby, you know I've been hurtin'
Love this love back to life 'cause it's worth it
Love me strong, baby, (and) show me no mercy tonight
2nd Verse
Remember when we thought that bein' apart
Would be the best thing for both our hearts
It's a prison out there when you're livin' alone, for sure
Now I know how much I really missed you
No more games, just wanna be with you
Just give me all your love 'til you can't give any more
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Every silence of the early hours
I look at you, and I feel the power
You don't need promises to make it right
Let's just follow what we're feelin' inside
(Chorus Out)
"Heart Half Empty" by Ty Herndon (with Stephanie Bentley) (Gary Burr/Desmond Child)
1st Verse
There's some leftover wine in the cupboard
'Bout a half a glass left for the road
Here's a toast to the time we were lovers
Then I'll go
Should I laugh or should I cry
Love you, hate you, live or die
Chorus
Is my heart half full or half empty
Is our love like the wine in this glass
You drink like there's no tomorrow
(And we were) so sure it (will) (would) always last
Will the mem'ries taste sweet as they linger
Or the bitterness stay on my tongue
Is my heart half full of the love you gave me
Or my heart half empty (half empty)
(Is my heart half empty (half empty))
'Cause your love is gone
2nd Verse
Your bags are all packed in the hallway
The boxes are stacked on the lawn
You kiss me goodbye just like always
And you're gone
Trembling hands or nerves of steel
Someone tell me what to feel
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Should I laugh or should I cry
Love you, hate you, live or die
(Repeat Chorus)
