Surrender
04:02
|
|||
I don’t want to feel the pain of love
Still I know there’s nothing gained without love
I don’t know how to feel this
I don’t know how to resist
I just want to follow my bliss
It won’t be that much longer
Til you feel much stronger
Living inside your kiss
Inspired
Requires you to surrender
Surrender totally
I don’t want to feel the pain of love
Still I know there’s nothing gained without love

Daydreamer
04:16
|
|||
Daydreamer sleeps with a smile on her face
And a hand over her heart
She wanders the days like a nomadic child
Carefree and curious
She reaches the sky with a gleam in her eye
And nothing to pull her down
The wind is her friend
Carries her to the end
So she doesn’t get tired
Daydreams to keep his lips on her cheek
And their fingers intertwined
He wishes her there and he knows that she cares
They’re both lost in time
Daydream escape to a romantic place
Don’t be scared of love
Holding his hand in a faraway land
When you’re asleep he’s still there

Feels So Nice
04:16
|
|||
Doesn’t it feel so nice to know you’re important to someone
Doesn’t it feel so nice to know you belong to someone
Like a lazy afternoon with a pinkish kind of sky
Golden on the edges, it feels so warm inside
That’s the way I feel for you
That’s the way I feel with you
Summer evening breezes that make you want to fly
Winter fires that you can melt beside
That’s the way I feel with you
That’s the way I feel for you
Doesn’t it feel so nice to know you’re important to someone
Doesn’t it feel so nice to know you belong to someone

Warn Me
03:50
|
|||
Warn me...
You should have warned me that I should have let you go
And I should have warned you that I could never let you go
Things always seem right
When you’re looking into the light
But they don’t always make sense
So we put up our defense
What’s happened between us?
I thought we had the trust
To always recognise that sometimes we need to compromise
Warn me...
Should have let you go
Would have let you know...

Stuck On You
03:36
|
|||
I’m stuck with you
Cause every time I close my eyes I seem to think of you
I should be stuck on you
And every night the thought of me should follow you
I would put up with you
When every conversation only makes me blue
Cause I’m stuck on you
And with a little hesitation I will follow you

Hold You, Unfold You
04:02
|
|||
Hold you, unfold you, like I’ve always known you
Hold you, unfold you, like I always want to
Watashi no namae wa Michiko desu
Watashi wa ongaku ga daisuki desu

Deep Water
04:53
|
|||
I’m losing myself
In this wide opening of sky
I thought that I could
Resist this forever
But I’m taken into too deep
I’m discovering why
Why I tried, but nothing coming to
What I want I should cherish
What I am, baby, I can feel
The depth of this water
I’d forgotten this pain
Is reaching all of this way
What I want couldn’t have it
What I need, baby, I can feel
The depth of this water
I don’t want to feel like this (repeat)

Something Rare
03:53
|
|||
Crazy for solutions
Craving for something rare
Holding back illusion
When you’re holding on, holding on for something more

Embellish
03:36
|
|||
The tears I embellish to cover the years
You know the fears that I relish are gone
Wanna get off of this merry-go-round of your senselessness
I’d like to lift of this ground that breaks these promises
Frightened by the past that came to haunt me, seems to want me
It’s not easy but I have to let go, have to say no
The tears I embellish to cover the years
You know the fears that I relish are gone
The core of the heart, I’m making a start
Reserving all my energy
No longer the fool, I’m keeping it cool
The core of my bliss, is telling me this
Just give it space and let it be
You’ll find what you need if you believe
Stop accommodating, contemplating, waiting, waiting
You’ve got to find a way, but not this way
You’re heart is fading
I can’t feel sorry for you, no not anymore
I want to release
Release me

Sympathise
04:30
|
|||
You got a lot of nerve
You got a lot of nerve
Coming a-running after the dumping
I don’t wanna reconcile
I got a lot to say
I’m saving the loving for someone deserving
And baby it’s not you
All the while you took my loving
All this time I thought you cared
All this conversation is confusing me
So don’t break it
Don’t take it if you care
Don’t break it
Don’t take it if you care
I’ll give it all away
I’ll give it all away
I don’t need your sympathy, I just want for you to leave
So stop wasting all our time
The only thing to lose
The only thing to chose
Is someone who cares for me, treats me respectfully
And baby no more lies
I don’t wanna a love with you
It’s much too painful
Cause the ways you break me in two
I’m taking mouthfuls of you
So I choke on your air
On whatever you call this affection
Wrong direction
I just wanted to be you
All the while you took my loving
All this time I thought you cared
All this conversation is confusing me
So don’t break it
Don’t take it if you care
Don’t break it
Don’t take it if you care

Endless Horizon
04:27
|
|||
Endless horizon laid out in front of me
A strange premonition and it’s haunting me to feel
I can fly deep into the sky
I will try make it through the night

City Siren
04:26
|
|||
Walking along in this silence
She’s a city siren
Walking along in this silence
Don’t you see she’s a city siren

Miss You
04:36
|
|||
These glimmering lights
Shadowing sights
Lost in a fantasy of you surrounding me
But you’re so far away
I’m missing you since always
Took me just five years to realise
You are always with me
Always in my heart
It doesn’t matter
That we’re a hundred thousand miles apart
And I wanna come home but I’m so afraid
That everything we had will be gone
There’s no mistaking, I miss you (repeat)
Five billion years, an eternity of tears
Could never take these memories of you
Though you’re so far away
I’m loving you since always
Took me just five years to recognise
You are always with me
Always in my heart
It doesn’t matter
That we’re a hundred thousand miles apart
And I wanna come home
But I’m so afraid that everything we had will be gone

River
05:06
|
|||
You cannot control it
It’s just something you feel
Without listening
Without answering this need
Found my way to this place
Something told me that I should stay
Nothing here but this silence within me
Thought that this would be the perfect escape
But not from love
It found me hiding
In the corner of the garden by the lake
And dragged down
Back to the river
And over the bridge of hope
You cannot control it
It’s just something you feel
Without listening
Without answering this need
In a faraway place
I met you by a river
Where care’s get carried away
Standing naked
In total surrender
Your words blow gently across my skin
In your heart
I found my way home
In your heart
I found, I found my way home
