Gavin DeGraw Lyrics
(Nice to Meet You) Anyway I don't wanna get too close I don't wanna get too…
A Few Drinks To Fall In Love You don't understand my jokes You're burning my eyes with yo…
Angel Eyes Girl your lookin' fine tonight And every guy has got you…
Chariot Staring at a maple leaf Leaning on the mother tree I said…
Crush When my pass came in, You dropped the ball It didn't change…
Dancing Shoes It's so nice to see you. Can we sit and talk…
Dreams Spending all my money on phone cards Waiting for my ship…
Follow Through Oh, this is the start of something good Don't you agree? I,…
Get Lost I've had days of wine and women and wine Spending all…
I Don't Wanna Be I don't need to be anything other Than a prison guard's…
Just Friends I saw you there last night Standing in the dark You were…
Overrated Take my home Take everything I own Take it, take control You…
Relative A flashlight Isn't quite sunlight But any light at all seems…
