Fall For Love
04:36
|
|||
|
If you fall for love
and there’s no one there
and nothing changes
by the way you care
the days go by
as you stand in place
your thoughts are lost
like the crashing waves
oh, I didn’t understand a word you said
but I love the sound of your voice
waiting in the wings, hoping for the winds to change
trying to explain just how it feels
to close your eyes and slip away
there are two
sides to every story
so baby don’t you worry
you’re looking for
a familiar face
somewhere to hide
some other place
well the thaw will come
though it may be late
these things take time
don’t lose your faith
oh, I didn’t understand a word you said
but I love the sound of your voice
waiting in the wings, hoping for the winds to change
trying to explain just how it feels
to close your eyes and slip away
there are two
sides to every story
so baby don’t you worry

Comfort Me
03:38
|
|||
|
in a time of indecision
comfort me
in a world so uncertain
comfort me
do you feel yourself a part of something
too big to ever know
if all the stars returned your longing
would you be consoled
comfort me
I never know what to say
until you’ve gone away
comfort me
until I see this endless distance
as just a point of view
can I lean on your conviction
would you tell me something true
comfort me
I never know what to say
until you’ve gone away
comfort me
all I can do is speak my mind and hope you hear me
trying to break down this resistance and unveil the beauty
if it’s the last thing that I do

Destination
03:55
|
|||
|
I was, in your eyes
perfectly lost
you were, in my life
carelessly tossed
it’s not the falling but the fear
that causes hesitation
nothing is forbidden if
I let you talk me into this
it’s life again, love again
the way you smiled before we kissed
funny but it feels
like inspiration
write your life, paint your life
the color of sacrifice
lift me up, let me go
if it is then say it’s so
I think I finally see my destination
until we forget ourselves
fortune favors someone else
it’s up to you, it’s down to me
just trust the mystery
I wouldn’t change a thing about my situation

Never Enough
03:59
|
|||
|
empty stare
I’m not there
lost to myself and you
I could not feel
did not know
that I was leaving you cold
the silence presses
for a reply
like a child always asking why
you fanned the flames
of my frail heart
but still we fell apart
and now you’re crying tears
I can’t touch
sorry is never enough
you’re holding out
giving up
sorry is never enough
the silence presses
for a reply
like a child always asking why
you fanned the flames
of my frail heart
but still we fell apart
and now you’re crying tears
I can’t touch
sorry is never enough
you’re holding out
giving up
sorry is never enough

Last Cigarette
03:25
|
|||
|
smoked my last cigarette
left town with no regrets
I tried to call you but your line was dead
there’s nothing left here for me
lost all the subtleties
my eyes are open but my souls asleep
we fell into
the same traps that I always do
I swore that I
had finally come to recognize
what’s better off left alone
I guess I’m better off on my own
testing life step by step
I haven’t missed an exit yet
written in to what you give is what you get
reach and spill the water glass
hide a stain upon your past
impressions meant to last fade away
we fell into
the same traps that I always do
I swore that I
had finally come to recognize
what’s better off left alone
I guess I’m better off on my own

Healing
04:33
|
|||
|
no one knows what might have been
the sinners heal while the healers sin
colors bleed to blur the lines
I’ll keep this in mind
the call and the echo
a tree and its shadow
the way two worlds intertwine
to form a perfect line
and it’s healing
if I could only slow this spinning round
healing
time passes much too quickly now
healing
don’t walk away from me now
I see a figure forming in the distance
soon I feel her soft insistence
tangled in my own mistakes
I was looking for an escape
lasting is half of all we do
acquire a taste for the color blue
take the highs, take the lows
welcome the unknown
and it’s healing
if I could only slow this spinning round
healing
time passes much too quickly now
healing
don’t walk away from me now

All The Times
04:09
|
|||
|
all the times that I came to you
with a thorn in my heart
and you held me in your arms
all the times – all the times
and all the ways that you showed me
what it means to be true
not by words but the things that you do
all the ways – all the ways
it’s the call of the ocean
the pull of the sea
a light from the sky through the tallest of trees
a whisper that wakes me from sleep
it comes down from the heavens
up from the ground
a touch of your hand without a sound
its everything I need
its everything to me
all the love that I feel
when I look in your eyes
every day and all through the night
all the love – all the love

Move On
04:08
|
|||
|
you feel outnumbered, and
encumbered
by a need to be so much more
than this
you get obsessive, misdirected
you've come too far to settle for
a kiss
always chasing something
it's just that one thing that
you've got to have
longing for the laughter, the
happy ever after
that you once had
and we all move on
we all move on
and we all move
we all move on
the situation keeps you waiting
you're unsure who you should
believe
it all went your way, then it's
gone the next day
you lost your ticket and the
train's about to leave
always chasing something
it's just that one thing that
you've got to have
longing for the laughter, the
happy ever after
that you once had
and we all move on
we all move on
and we all move
we all move on
time to get up
time to move on
it's time to wake up
time to groove on
time to get up
time to move on
it's time to wake up
time to groove on

Just Like Before
04:37
|
|||
|
I’m fixing my gaze on a point through the haze
can’t quite make out what it is
the image compelling, there’s really no telling
what may become of it
drowning a memory to set straight my bearings
and begin again
off in the distance, transparent, persistent
a voice rises and fades
a thought that escaped me has come back to face me
there’s no turning away
the twilight was trembling, I’ve tried not remembering
I’ve tried, anyway
if I could only hold you now
just like before
when you were mine
just like before
when we were still in love
we took two steps together, then fell from each other
neither one really letting go
now I stand on the threshold, comfortably nestled
in between yes and no
all that is left of me, after time took the best of me
there’s nothing to show
if I could only hold you now
just like before
when you were mine
just like before
when we were still in love

Set In Motion
04:51
|
|||
|
I woke up last night
to find you by my side
the perfect surprise
a new light in my life
I’d been waiting for so long
trying to be strong
hoping that I was wrong
thinking that you had gone
set in motion, set in motion
suddenly I’m wide awake
set in motion, set in motion
with nothing standing in my way
our love is strong and here to stay
it’s a new day
love is a flower
that blossoms forever
that weathers all weather
when two hearts come together
so take your time if you need to
say a prayer if you want to
kiss the sky and it will thank you
always believe in the real you
set in motion, set in motion
suddenly I’m wide awake
set in motion, set in motion
with nothing standing in my way
our love is strong and here to stay
it’s a new day
happiness, security
open heart, empathy
life and love, heavenly
forever, you and me
I was the promise of a wave
drifting in the ocean
you are the moon
that set me in motion
set in motion, set in motion
suddenly I’m wide awake
set in motion, set in motion
set in motion, set in motion
set in motion, set in motion
with nothing standing in my way
it’s a new day
