I Don't Know Why
04:03
|
|||
|
I don’t know why, changes all the time
Back & forward, here & there, over a rainbow and down the stairs,
Into a shelter, under the sky,
Deep in the darkness, turn to the light, living a dream and come back to life,
Here is the truth and there are the lies
Climb up a mountain, ride down the side, first it’s unholy now it’s divine,
make your decision then change your mind,
Follow the rules and say it’s a game, you want to compete but you’re not the same,
So full of contradictions

Open Your Mind
04:28
|
|||
|
Feel it inside, clouds open wide, reaching the sky, open your mind…
I’m back, at the start, with my heart, that’s the part that I love
Hey, it’s ok, I’ll be back, just relax, our love is still intact
Who wants an ending, when ascending and mending your soul
Life keeps remembering and sending you gifts you can grow

Parallel Lines
04:48
|
|||
|
Once upon a time there was your dream and there was mine
It was never quite enough
We soon ran out of love
Parallel lines between your life and mine
There’s a space that keeps us apart
There’s no space here in your heart
Chasing memories of a time when we felt free
And it feels so long ago
And you feel like letting go
Parallel lines, wrapping us in time
We were never meant to be
Now we shall both be free

It Takes Time
04:39
|
|||
|
It takes time for healin’
To find the meanin’
Don’t hide your feelin’
Try believin’
This is what it feels like to be terrified
I wanna hold on, but I’m not that strong
So many reasons, so many doubts
Can I trust you or should I shut you out?
If love is blindness then I’m really in a mess
Never any guarantees, love is unpredictable
Like the falling of the autumn leaves, it’s somehow beautiful,
Can you hold on? can you work things out?
If your love’s strong, let there be no doubt,
Love is kindness and you have been blessed.

No Need For Sadness
03:54
|
|||
|
No need for sadness, no need to cry…
Keep on believing life has a meaning…
So I lost you and it broke my heart into a hundred million different pieces
I didn’t know what I should do
So I forgave you, I forgave you and I started to imagine bits & pieces
Of a future all brand new
A lot to go through, all the pain I ran into a hundred million different reasons
Not to move on without you
But I got used to and I choose to

This Far
03:34
|
|||
|
I can’t believe how I let this get so far inside of me
Though I try, I can’t stop it hurting this way
I try but it keeps on crashing down in waves
Now I know it’s something deeper than I meant or wanted
Now I know that I really care
I feel ashamed of what I said
To think I didn’t recognize you care
Now you’re holding back on me instead
Now I’m wishing that I never let you this far into my heart
I don’t want interpret the events
To find false corners of hope to cement
The fragments that are left
What I really want is you love
But is it now too late?
|

You Should Know
03:59
|
|||
|
There is something that you should know
I have already let you go
You think that this is just a game
But I am walking far away
I don’t wanna be the one,
You say you’re sorry,
whatcha done to my life?
You have taken what you want,
You spin a story
Add it to the pile
All the clues I should have seen
All the time while I have been so stupid
Cause it was just a lie.
I thought this was for real, I gave you everything
I gave you room to move but you were just too smooth

Honesty
04:39
|
|||
|
Too many broken hearts in this world
Too many shattered dreams, why can’t we be true to ourselves?
There’s no complication when there is honesty,
You don’t have to be perfect to be wonderful to me
Too many fallen angels needing rescuing
Too many expectations masquerading as our dreams
There’s no complication when there is honesty,
You don’t have to be perfect to be wonderful to me
Too many fabrications in our lives,
Mistaken conversations, we need to open up our minds.
Find a meaningful connection, a change in our direction,
Authentic revelations, feel it stirring deep inside

New Beginning
04:06
|
|||
|
New beginning life is taking another turn
New beginning, life is showing me what I should learn
I feel lost and locked out
So I’m looking for a skylight
To look up and climb out
Find the way and figure out
Many dreams I could try
Many possibilities
If I knew which was right
I wouldn’t have so many sleepless nights
In my dreams I can fly
I can reach into the sky
When I land I can dance
Fall into this romance
When I wake, things are new
I try to find the scent of you
I get up and I go, every day until I know

Possibly
04:37
|
|||
|
You and me we have something that’s possibly quite exciting
Could this be something more than friends?
I pretend that I don’t notice, I don’t know how to control this
Will there be a very happy end?
I can feel your arms around me
I can feel the love tonight
Makes me wanna keep on dancing
Keep on through the night
Taking time for inspiration
Feeling something in the air
I can’t help but keep on smiling
Love will take us there
You and me we have something that’s possibly quite exciting
Could this be something more than friends?
I pretend that I don’t notice, I don’t know how to control this
Will there be a very happy end?
I believe in long lost notions
That a flame is set alight
My only rule is no pretending
Love will set things right
All I know is that I’m floating
I can feel the charm tonight
Makes me wanna keep on dancing
Keep on through the night

Electrifying
03:48
|
|||
|
Take me out in the sunlight
Everything’s alright
Baby I feel so good
Winter’s over and I feel so young
It’s just a small sign of the things to come
I’ll hand it over and I won’t look back
Time will stop when these two hearts attract
Electrifying that’s the way I feel
Full of voltage I’m about to spill
No more darkness and I won’t look back
Time will stop when these two stars attract

Tonight's The Night
04:56
|
|||
|
If you want me, you can ask me
I might just feel like it’s a good time
If you want me, you can have me
I might just feel like tonight’s the night
Somewhere in between these eyes, these words, these sheets
Lies a luxury that we both can feel every time we meet
All this long anticipation, all I want is you
What about this fascination, what else can I do?
|

Take It Easy
04:31
|
|||
|
I get the feeling
You, you are into me
I’ve got the feeling I am into you
Take it easy there’s no hurry
There’s no need to time these things
All that matters is we like it
Let’s just leave it as it is
It’s something rather unexpected
It turned me right upside down
What this is let’s not name it
Enjoy the moment that we found
Leave the past behind us
Forget the future at the door
Surrender to what’s inside us
If we like it there’ll be more

At the end of the rainbow I see you waving at me,
At the end of the rainbow you can be forever free,
I’ve been blessed to know you,
I feel you with me,
In my heart you’ll be forever
Teardrops where your heartbeat used to sing happy melodies
In this sadness, such confusion, I still hear you breathe as you sleep
I’ve been blessed to hold you,
I still feel you next me,
In my heart you’ll be forever

Silence
04:07
|
|||
|
You and I submerged in silence is the safest place I feel
Over time I feel I know you from a place I cannot describe
(I couldn’t get more honest this)
One at a time you witness my imperfections
Like a slow and gentle horizon
I unfold in your tender affection and you nourish me with space
I recognize the heartbeat within you
I recognize it cause it’s just like my own
In your smile I find my direction
In your arms I find my way home
Without the words I know what you’re saying
Without the words I feel no shame
All the past is lost in this silence
And what remains is room for hope
