Live and Breathe
Is there any truth to this?
It remains to be seen
Came with high spirits and
left without a dream
You're trying to catch something
when you already lost the race
Well, I know just how your
moods are spaced
Baby, you're battling
when you should understand
Taking it back when you should
hold out your hand
Travel like a moonbeam and
wander near the stars
but wherever you go
there you are
Chorus:
And of all nights
this night was real
Let go of distraction
remembered how to feel
Of all nights
on this we believe
We need each other
to live and breathe...
oh to live and breathe
Of all the nights,
this night was true
You know I finally found a way
to get through to you
Glad you could find some time
to disappear without a trace
And come inside
my hiding place
Chorus:
Guess we forgot
what it's like to breathe
and fill our lungs
to their capacity
when you're suffocating
in that stale air
remember this night,
remember that I'm near
Chorus
(cool sax part)
Chorus (twice). |
Watch You Rise
Don't wanna make you crazy
Can't expect you to understand
Can't say I always love you
but I don't wanna be with another man
Always wanted to be challenged
well baby you challenge me
No one can ever be the answer and the prayer
but you're the closest they've come to me
Chorus:
There's no day without your night
No dark without your light
No ocean without your sea
without you there's only me
Staring at an empty sky
until with the sun
I watch you rise
And that's why I can't help thinking
weak is not what I want to be
But every day I'm learning
that there's strength in vulnerability
Don't you know the view is always better with his eyes
You know the colors
they are filled in
That's when the world
stops revolving around me
and the sun rises
and sets with him
Chorus
No one can ever be the answer and the prayer
But you're the closest they've come to me
Chorus
Half Chorus
Chorus |
Don't Do That
Have to remind myself
what this is all about
Cuz if I ever forgot
I'd lose my mind
You've always been so
in control of yourself
But lately you've been falling
out of line
I know that you love me
stronger than you've ever
loved before
Is that what makes you run away?
Is that what makes you so unsure?
Chorus:
Just when I think our love
will make it all the way
You start to get afraid
you start playing games
When you act like that you just put me to shame
I don't do that to you
So don't treat me that way
Cuz I don't do that
Don't have to remind you
how confusing it can be
When your heart and mind are so overwhelmed
No one has ever made you feel this way
Baby what's going on in your head
Too smooth to let them see
that you belong to only me
So you pretend like I'm no one
Until they're gone
and you come running
Chorus (twice)
(cool guitar part)
Chorus (thrice) (hee hee) |
Charmed
Always the strong one
must be so surprisin'
Put a spell on you
soon as you caught my eye
Have only love in me
for someone so pure of heart
So don't be scared
But you should know
that you are
Chorus:
Charmed
try not to be alarmed
Got a return on your karma
mow you lay weak in my arms
Didn't use a potion
or make a voodoo doll
I am no mystic but I
knew you'd take the fall
Don't believe in destiny
and I have no master plan
I'm just your lover baby
You're my magic man
Chorus (twice)
Oh and if I had a crystal ball
I'd know for sure
what lies in the future
but all I care about is now
Your body just holding me
Is the most magical thing of all |
Best Of Me
All this time
I let you walk on by
All this time
didn't even try
Now I'm sitting here
wondering why
I always let
the special things go by
Everyday is a new chance
every night is a brand new dance
It's up to me to change my ways
to lead me toward
the better days
Chorus:
Now I feel the energy
how it gets the best of me
and I've never been so sure
Even if we take our time
you're all I have in mind
It's your love I'm waiting for
Only you make me feel this way
Only you make me want to stay
The next time that you walk by
I'm gonna have to show you why
No matter how long
I have to wait
I know some day I'll feel
your sweet embrace
Chorus |
Jack of All
Was it the only mission,
to get me under your skin?
Now that I'm here I see
everyone else that made it in.
And we're in bad condition
because you leave us so alone
Can't believe you left me here
with everything else that
you've outgrown
You say you're
taking your time
but all it's taking is a toll
If it's all sewn up
why do I leak right
through your holes?
You can't carry on this way
Never finish what you start
and walk right over every
other bleeding heart
Chorus 1:
You do as much as you can
but only half-way
You get to the party first
but you can't stay
Getting pretty good at
this that the other one
Jack of all, master of none
Guess you're creating distance
leaving me behind
You didn't learn me too much
didn't read between the lines.
Well I'm more complicated
you can't know me in a day
So you're giving up
letting another slip away
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
Got me all psyched up
only to let me down
Help me make some plans
so you can change them
all around
Yeah, you would hang out
But you gotta run
Jack of all, master of none.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2 |
Astounded
Never say never
don't say no.
Even though I build you up
you may wanna go
But I'm learning how
to let you be
Exist in and out of me
How does it sound?
And it won't be long
before we've found
that we can live our dream
How many times did it seem
too far gone?
Chorus
But it's turning out just fine
I wasn't even trying
The stars aligned and I can't believe I found this.
And I'm astounded
I'm astounded
When you hold on
it's not too tight
And if I have to move
you help me take flight
Because all I'll ever do
and all I'll ever be
will always have an
element of you and me..
So we can live our dreams.
How many times did it seem
too far gone?
Chorus
Baby and it won't be long
before we've found
that we can live our dreams.
How many times did it seem too far gone.
Chorus (twice) |
Confronted
How I will always see you,
beautiful in naked light
how open it leaves you
on the wake of insight
Amidst all the action
There's a knock at the door
Everytime you answer
is the only time your ever sure
Can everything be put down
if only for a time
How will you know I'm here,
How will you know your mine?
Have you heard the whisper
Have you traded the lies
Have you confronted yourself?
If you are convoluted by the nothingness of fear
You can't be polluted
as long as I am here
I know it's hard to listen
Sometimes it makes you cry
Been when you go far enough
It brings you to the other side
How long can it be pushed down
Before it overflows
And even though I'm here
How will you ever know?
Have you heard the whisper
Have you traded the lies
Have you confronted yourself?
Can you climb the ladder to the heart of the matter
Have you confronted yourself?
|
Nothing
Remember how you
promised the world?
Well it wasn't ready
to be given.
We use to want to
follow our dreams
now we're too busy living
every minute thinking
how it will be
when me make a break
when we set it free
spending all our time
making plans
when in truth we know
it's out of our hands.
'Cause there's nothing, nothing
under the sun
that could ever make me
leave our love.
There's nothing, nothing
under the sun that could
ever make me give you up
Baby you are the one.
Now we could have
a better time.
Maybe we could
start a new religion
but the answer we will find
is we create our conditions.
And the condition I've created is our love ,
how you hold me
and you fill me up.
Baby we could divide and conquer, but you're
all I need in this world.
