Holding You
03:42
|
|||
I stare into your eyes
And watch the sunset fall down into mine
Heaven's so near to me now
That I am drifting to another place and time
And I'll be watching you
Holding his hand
Just thinking about all the times we could have
Who said that hurting was part of romance
I love you baby, so give me a chance
Chorus:
If I was holding you
You'd be happy darling
There's nothing I wouldn't do
We'd slip right down
Away from the troubles its true
If I was holding you
Take your hand
And touch my body
Like you touched my soul
These feelings I'm feeling for you
I can't deny it
And I can't let it go
And I'll be watching you
Smiling at him
Just thinking about
How our life could have been
He's an abuser, a user
He treats you so bad
If that's love, then I don't understand
Chorus
I'd say "I love you, baby"
But my heart couldn't take the chance
You you'd say to me "I just wanna be friends"
You'd never treat me the same
Chorus
If I was holding you
If I was holding you

Against The Odds
04:32
|
|||
With a starting point of nowhere
I feel invisible emotions that we share
Just a city and a vehicle
Two legs would walk a thousand miles
Just to be there
With already half the city gone
Behind me with every step
All to see you
They call it devotion
When I would walk a thousand miles
Just to see you
CHORUS:
And I know you can't be alone
And I don't wanna be alone
So why don't we just go against the odds?
'Cause if it's a million to one that I love you
Then, baby, you've already won
With a rhythm in my awkward step
I go forward without looking back
Just smiling
With these times that we are living in
I'm tired of always giving in
To the fighting
I'm your savior from this nightmare place
Like a child is from a frowning face
A vacation
And I promise I won't let you go
I'll take you where you'll never know
Confrontation
CHORUS
They say that we can't make it
But we're the ones who make or break it
In this life
They say that it's not love
Just a phase when things get tough
But I know that they are wrong
So call off the army
Tell the asteroids to go back home
I'm on my way
Take a moment to reflect on things
Sit back and just enjoy the ride
I'm on my way
CHORUS
Baby you've already won, yeah yeah
You've already won

Ordinary Feelings
04:09
|
|||
The words travel 'round inside my head
The words that hang around waiting to be said
You're beautiful, you're far away from me
Yet you're so close, you're within my vicinity
Not ordinary feelings that come my way
I wish I could say
CHORUS:
I want to hold your hand
And make you feel so wonderful
If that's so bad, then I'll just walk away
I love you than anyone could ever say they do
My heart pours out to you just like the rain
I feel so hollow in this place
I must have lonely written in my face
I'll disappear among this heavy crowd
You're beautiful, I hear you'll never come around
Not ordinary feelings
But Feelings about you
I want to say to you
CHORUS
What I want to say
Gets lost in conversation
My burdened heart wants to confess to you
That I'll still love you without any hesitation
I just want to tell the truth
CHORUS
Just like the rain
I want to hold your hand
And make you feel so wonderful
If that's so bad then I'll just walk away
I love you more than words
Can every be described to you
My heart is ruptured by self-disdain

Late
04:15
|
|||
It's late
You can't come in
How could you forget about the pain
You left beneath my skin
It's late
The stars are out
You're desperate for the moon to shine
But it just won't come out
I hope the shame
Is sinking in
Sometimes when you're counting the stars
You forget to count your sins
You're the same
And you want in
All you want is to scatter my dreams
And it's too late to begin
CHORUS:
'Cause it's late
You can't come in
If you think I'll fall back in love
Then you've got to think again
I hope the shame is sinking in
'Cause you held my heart once
And you trashed it without thinking
And now it's late
Friends
Have come and gone
Took a long time to heal my soul
And now it's time to move on
It doesn't hurt
That you are here
'Cause once you're out of the deep
You're pain starts to disappear
CHORUS
And there's no hope now
For you and me
So just go away
Just leave me alone
Why can't you just let me be
We can't go back
Across to the past
You shouldn't have gone with him
If you wanted my love to last
CHORUS
You can't come in
If you think I'll fall
You're insane
To think that I'd b there waiting
'Cause you burned me like a candle
And I've wasted down to nothing
And now it's late

The Fall
03:39
|
|||
I figured out what it means in life
To lose the one you love
A mystery that's plagued man's heart
Since the dawning of the sun
A stretch of words, an anger burst
In a crowded courtyard scene
We yell and scream such hurtful things
We're quick to say we didn't mean
I figured out what it means in life
To tell it from the heart
And things we know we should never do
Is tearing us both apart
So don't ask me where I've been
You know damn well inside
I'm tired of all the broken trust
That spawned from all the lies
CHORUS:
Lately I've been locked up in my room
In my little utopia
Just hanging around watching
The TV make shadows on the wall
Said I love you
But it won't change a thing
So I'll hang around waiting
For the hand that's gonna guide me through the fall
It was a hazy winter afternoon
And I was bitter from the storm
And I watched him as he walked away
I was angrier than before
Can't believe what he had done to me
Can't believe what he had said
He knew that he had done me wrong
I wondered what was in his head
I went 'round back in all my rage
Slammed myself against the wall
And I screamed into the frigid air
"God, can you save me from the fall?"
So don't ask me where I've been
You know damn well inside
I'm tired of all the broken trust
That's come from all the lies
CHORUS
And don't ask me how I feel
You know dam well inside
I'm tired of all the aggravation
I'm tired of all the lies

Back Home
04:50
|
|||
It's the scent of the land
My memories held tight
So tight in my hands
It's the cold
The fresh fallen snow
And that's when I know
It's the pure happiness
My sorrows behind
Behind that white fence
It's the house
Where time moves too slow
And that's when I know
CHORUS:
That I'm back home
Back to the place
With familiar old songs
I'm back home
Back to that special place
Where we all belong
I'm back home
It's the feeling of warmth
I get when I'm near
Near my old porch
It's the sky
Hand in hand you and I
And that's when I know
It's the call of a friend
Across that old road
Where it all began
It's the love
Like songs from above
And that's when I know
CHORUS
You might think it as fiction
'Cause I left here without looking back
But I really regret
The moment I left
'Cause now I'm back home
Back home
CHORUS
