    Cascada-Everytime we touch
    Date / Time : Wednesday, December 30, 2009 / 11:05 PM
    What a beautiful song. I promise to myself that if I found the one I will sing this song to him.I found this piece when I was watching a video of Adam Sevani. The video is entitled "Adam Sevani being Awesome." Of course, since I am also a fan of him, I watched the video. While watching on youtube, I was shock since I was loving the song and becoming part of the beat. I hope this will also serve you as an inspirational piece.


    Everytime We Touch – Cascada

    I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
    I still feel your touch in my dreams.
    Forgive me my weakness, but I don’t know why
    Without you it’s hard to survive.

    ‘Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
    And every time we kiss I swear I could fly.
    Can’t you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
    Need you by my side.
    ‘Cause every time we touch, I feel this static.
    And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
    Can’t you hear my heart beat so…
    I can’t let you go.
    Want you in my life.

    Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
    They wipe away tears that I cry.

    The good and the bad times, we’ve been through them all.
    You make me rise when I fall.

    ‘Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
    And every time we kiss I swear I could fly.
    Can’t you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
    Need you by my side.
    ‘Cause every time we touch, I feel this static.
    And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
    Can’t you hear my heart beat so…
    I can’t let you go.
    Want you in my life.

    ‘Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling.
    And every time we kiss I swear I could fly.
    Can’t you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
    Need you by my side.



    I will take you forever

    I Will Take You Forever (Duet With Denise Laurel) – Kris Lawrence Music Code

    I Will Take You Forever (Duet With Denise Laurel) – Kris Lawrence Music Code and Lyrics Code

    I was a man who always played around in love
    So quick to take but so afraid to give enough
    But now I’ve found the one
    And heaven will only know
    What only my eyes can say
    And time can’t take away

    I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart
    And the dreams that young girls dream
    Were just vanishing in the dark
    But now I’ve found the one
    And heaven will only know
    What only my eyes can say
    They say

    That I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
    And I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else but you
    Anyone else but you

    Now my heart belongs to you
    And I will always be your best friend
    Now my secrets are safe with you
    And the magic will never end
    Now you are the one
    And heaven will only know
    What only our eyes can say
    They say

    That I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
    And I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else but you
    anyone else but you, anyone else but you.

    You (you)..oohhh.
    That I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
    Now I will take you forever
    And there will never be anyone else but you
    anyone else but you.
    I will girl take you forever
    By your side I won’t leave you never
    I don’t need anyone else but you
    And I will take you… ohhh…forever. Ohh…
    I will (I will) take you forever.

    All We Know is Falling
    (2005)

    1. All We Know

    We’ve tried so hard to understand, but we can’t.
    We held the world out in our hands and you ran away.
    It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

    Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
    Remember how, cause I know that we won’t forget at all.

    Now we can follow you back home but we won’t.
    Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?
    It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

    Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
    Remember how, cause I know that we won’t forget at all.

    You never, you never said
    This wasn’t what you wanted, was it? Was it?
    This isn’t what you wanted.
    This isn’t what you wanted.

    Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
    Remember how, cause I know that we won’t forget at all.

    2. Pressure
    Tell me where our time went
    And if it was time well spent
    Just don’t let me fall asleep
    Feeling empty again

    Cause I fear I might break
    And I fear I can’t take it
    Tonight I’ll lie awake feeling empty

    I can feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    We’re better off without you
    I can feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    We’re better off without you

    Now that I’m losing hope
    And there’s nothing else to show
    For all of the days that we spent
    Carried away from home

    Some things I’ll never know
    And I had to let them go
    I’m sitting all alone feeling empty

    I can feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    We’re better off without you
    I can feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    We’re better off without you
    Without you

    Some things I’ll never know
    And I had to let them go
    Some things I’ll never know
    And I had to let them go
    I’m sitting all alone feeling empty

    I can feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    We’re better off without you
    Feel the pressure
    It’s getting closer now
    You’re better off without me


    3. Emergency

    I think we have an emergency
    I think we have an emergency

    If you thought I’d leave, then you were wrong
    Cause I won’t stop holding on

    So are you listening?
    So are you watching me?

    If you thought I’d leave, then you were wrong
    Cause I won’t stop holding on.

    This is an emergency
    So are you listening?

    And I can’t pretend that I don’t see this

    It’s really not your fault
    That no one cares to talk about it,
    Talk about it

    Cause I’ve seen love die
    Way too many times
    When it deserved to be alive
    (When it deserved to be alive)
    I’ve seen you cry
    Way too many times
    When you deserve to be alive, alive

    So you give up every chance you get
    Just to feel new again

    I think we have an emergency
    I think we have an emergency

    And you do your best to show me love,
    but you don’t know what love is.

    So are you listening?
    So are you watching me?

    Well I can’t pretend that I don’t see this

    It’s really not your fault
    That no one cares to talk about it,
    Talk about it

    Cause I’ve seen love die
    Way too many times
    When it deserved to be alive
    (When it deserved to be alive)
    I’ve seen you cry
    Way too many times
    When you deserve to be alive, alive

    These scars, they will not fade away.

    No one cares to talk about it, talk about it

    Cause I’ve seen love die
    Way too many times
    When it deserved to be alive
    (When it deserved to be alive)
    I’ve seen you cry
    Way too many times
    When you deserve to be alive, alive



    4. Brighter

    So this is how it goes
    Well I, I would have never known
    And if it ends today
    Well I’ll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

    Now I think we’re taking this too far
    Don’t you know that it’s not this hard?
    Well it’s not this hard
    But if you take what’s yours and I take mine
    Must we go there?
    Please not this time.
    No, not this time.

    Well this is not your fault
    But if I’m without you
    Then I will feel so small
    And if you have to go
    Well always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

    Now I think we’re taking this too far
    Don’t you know that it’s not this hard?
    Well it’s not this hard
    But if you take what’s yours and I take mine
    Must we go there?
    Please not this time.
    No, not this time.

    If you run away now,
    Will you come back around?
    And if you ran away,
    I’d still wave goodbye
    Watching you shine bright.

    Now I think we’re taking this too far
    Don’t you know that it’s not this hard?
    Well it’s not this hard
    But if you take what’s yours and I take mine
    Must we go there?
    Please not this time.
    No, not this time.

    I’ll wave goodbye (You shine bright)
    Watching you shine bright (You shine bright)
    I’ll wave goodbye tonight (You shine bright)

    5. Here We Go Again

    And here we go again
    With all the things we said
    And not a minute spent
    To think that we’d regret
    So we just take it back,
    These words and hold our breath
    Forget the things we swore we meant

    I’ll write you just to let you know that I’m alright
    Can’t say I’m sad to see you go
    Cause I’m not. (No, I’m not)
    Well, I’m not.

    And here we go again
    With all the things we did
    And now I’m wondering
    Just who would I have been
    To be the one attached
    At all times to your hip?
    Forget the things we swore we meant.

    I’ll write you just to let you know that I’m alright
    Can’t say I’m sad to see you go
    Cause I’m not. (No, I’m not)
    Well, I’m not. (No, I’m not)
    Oh (No, I’m not)

    I’ll write you to, to let you know that I’m alright
    Can’t say I’m sad to see you go
    Cause I’m not. (No, I’m not)
    Well, I’m not. (No, I’m not)
    I’m not, I’m not.

    And here we go again
    With all the things we said
    And not a minute spent
    To think that we’d regret
    So we just take it back…
    (No, I’m not)
    So we just take it back…
    (I’m not)
    So we just take it back…


    6. Never Let This Go

    Maybe if my heart stops beating
    It won’t hurt this much
    And never will I have to answer
    Again to anyone

    Please don’t get me wrong

    Because I’ll never let this go
    But I can’t find the words to tell you
    I don’t want to be alone
    But now I feel like I don’t know you

    One day you’ll get sick of
    saying that everything’s alright
    And by then I’m sure I’ll be pretending
    Just like I am tonight

    Please don’t get me wrong

    Because I’ll never let this go
    But I can’t find the words to tell you
    I don’t want to be alone
    But now I feel like I don’t know you

    Let this go, let this go

    But I’ll never let this go
    But I can’t find the words to tell you
    I don’t want to be alone
    But now I feel like I don’t know you

    And I’ll never let this go
    But I can’t find the words to tell you
    That now I feel like I don’t know you


    7. Whoa

    I’ve hoped for change,
    and it gets better everyday
    I’ve hoped for change,
    but still I feel the same

    There’s something wrong,
    cause everybody knows
    That we can do this on our own

    And we’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    We’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    We’re doing fine
    And it gets better everytime
    We’re doing fine
    But I’ll let you decide

    There’s something wrong,
    cause everybody knows
    That we can do this on our own

    And we’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    We’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    And I’ll confess
    That I can be a little selfish
    Yeah I’ll admit
    I don’t want you to help me through this
    I don’t want to start over again

    And we’ve got everybody singing
    And we’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    And we’ve got everybody singing
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    And I’ll confess
    That I can be a little selfish, I can, I can
    Yeah I’ll admit
    I don’t want you to get me through this
    I don’t want to start over again


    8. Conspiracy

    Please speak softly, for they will hear us
    And they’ll find out why we don’t trust them
    Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you
    I need to know why we don’t trust them

    Explain to me this conspiracy against me
    And tell me how I’ve lost my power

    Where can I turn? Cause I need something more
    Surrounded by uncertainty I’m so unsure
    Tell me why I feel so alone
    Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

    Explain to me this conspiracy against me
    And tell me how I’ve lost my power

    I thought that we’d make it
    Because you said that we’d make it through
    And when all security fails
    Will you be there to help me through?

    Explain to me this conspiracy against me
    And tell me how I’ve lost my power

    I’ve lost my power

    9. Franklin

    And when we get home, I know we won’t be home at all
    This place we live, it is not where we belong
    And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
    Going back to get away after everything has changed

    Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
    (Everything has changed)
    Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
    (Everything has changed)
    Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
    (Everything has changed)
    Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

    So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
    I won’t get used to this
    I won’t get used to being gone
    And going back won’t feel the same if we aren’t staying
    Going back to get away after everything has changed

    Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
    (Everything has changed)
    Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
    (Everything has changed)
    Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
    (Everything has changed)
    Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

    Taking up our time
    Taking up our time
    Taking up our time
    It’s taking up our time again
    Go back we can’t go back at all
    It’s taking up our time again
    Go back we can’t go back at all
    It’s taking up our time again
    Go back we can’t go back at all
    It’s taking up our time, taking up our time

    Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
    Do you remember that? Do you remember that?


    10. My Heart

    I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
    That I’ve fallen down and I can’t do this alone

    Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

    Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you
    We could sing our own but what would it be without you? oh

    I am nothing now and it’s been so long
    Since I’ve heard a sound, the sound of my only hope

    This time I will be listening.

    Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you
    We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    This heart, it beats, beats for only you

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart is yours

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you
    My heart is yours
    (My heart, it beats for you)

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you (It beats, beats for only you)
    My heart is yours (My heart is yours)

    This heart, it beats, beats for only you (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away)
    My heart, my heart is yours (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away)

    (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is yours
    (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is yours
    (Please don’t go, please don’t fade away) My heart is yours oh
    (Please don’t go now, please don’t fade away) My heart is…


    11. Oh Star / Japanese Bonus Track
    Oh star fall down on me
    Let me make a wish upon you
    Hold on, let me think
    Think of what I’m wishing for

    Wait, don’t go away.
    Just not yet.
    Cause I thought,
    I had it.
    But I forget.

    And I won’t let you fall away,
    From me.
    You will never fade.
    And I won’t let you fall away.
    From me.
    You will never fade away from me.

    And now I let my dreams consume me,
    And tell me what to think.
    But hold on,
    Hold on.
    What am I dreaming?

    Wait, don’t go away.
    Just not yet.
    Cause I thought,
    That I had it.
    But I forget.

    And I won’t let you fall away,
    From me.
    You will never fade away.
    I won’t let you fall away.
    You will never fade away.

    And I won’t let you fall away.
    You will never fade away.
    And I won’t let you fall away from me,
    You will never…

    Oh star fall down on me.



    RIOT
    (2007)


    1. For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
    Just talk yourself up
    And tear yourself down
    You’ve hit your one wall
    Now find a way around
    Well what’s the problem?
    You’ve got a lot of nerve

    So what did you think I would say?
    No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
    So what did you think I would say?
    No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
    You wouldn’t

    I never wanted to say this
    You never wanted to stay
    I put my faith in you, so much faith
    And then you just threw it away
    You threw it away

    I’m not so naive
    My sorry eyes can see
    The way you fight shy
    Of almost everything
    Well, if you give up
    You’ll get what you deserve

    So what did you think I would say?
    No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
    So what did you think I would say?
    No you can’t run away, no you can’t run away
    You wouldn’t

    I never wanted to say this
    You never wanted to stay
    I put my faith in you, so much faith
    And then you just threw it away
    You threw it away

    You were finished long before
    We had even seen the start
    Why don’t you stand up, be a man about it?
    Fight with your bare hands about it now

    I never wanted to say this
    You never wanted to stay well did you
    I put my faith in you, so much faith
    And then you just threw it away

    I never wanted to say this
    You never wanted to stay
    I put my faith in you, so much faith
    And then you just threw it away

    2. That's What You Get

    No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore.
    It’s your turn, so take a seat we’re settling the final score.
    And why do we like to hurt so much?

    I can’t decide
    You have made it harder just to go on
    Oh why? All the possibilities…Well, I was wrong.

    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
    I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
    And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

    I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here.
    Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
    I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
    Oh why? All the possibilities, I’m sure you’ve heard.

    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
    I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
    And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

    Pain make your way to me, to me.
    And I’ll always be just so inviting.
    If I ever start to think straight,
    This heart will start a riot in me,
    Let’s start, start, hey!

    Why do we like to hurt so much?
    Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

    That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
    Whoa.

    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
    That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

    Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this,

    And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.


    3. Hallelujah

    Somehow everything’s gonna fall right into place
    If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
    If only time flew like a dove
    Well God, make it fly faster than I’m falling in love

    This time we’re not giving up
    Let’s make it last forever
    Screaming “hallelujah”
    We’ll make it last forever

    Holding onto patience wearing thin
    I can’t force these eyes to see the end
    If only time flew like a dove
    We could watch it fly and just keep looking up

    This time we’re not giving up
    Let’s make it last forever
    Screaming “hallelujah”
    We’ll make it last forever

    And we’ve got time on our hands
    (We’ve got time) Got nothing but time on our hands
    Got nothing but, got nothing but
    (We’ve got time) Got nothing but time on our hands

    This time we’re not giving up
    Oh, let’s make it last forever
    Screaming “hallelujah” (hallelujah)
    Hallelujah


    4. Misery Business

    I’m in the business of misery,
    Let’s take it from the top.
    She’s got a body like an hourglass, it’s ticking like a clock.
    It’s a matter of time before we all run out,
    When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

    I waited eight long months,
    She finally set him free.
    I told him I couldn’t lie he was the only one for me.
    Two weeks and we caught on fire,
    She’s got it out for me,
    But I wear the biggest smile.

    Whoa, I never meant to brag
    But I got him where I want him now.
    Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
    To steal it all away from you now.
    But God does it feel so good,
    Cause I got him where I want him now.
    And if you could then you know you would.
    Cause God it just feels so…
    It just feels so good.

    Second chances they don’t ever matter, people never change.
    What’s a whore you’re nothing more, I’m sorry, that’ll never change.
    And about forgiveness, we’re both supposed to have exchanged.
    I’m sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
    Well there’s a million other girls who do it just like you.
    Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
    They want and what they like it’s easy if you do it right.
    Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

    Whoa, I never meant to brag
    But I got him where I want him now.
    Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
    To steal it all away from you now.
    But God does it feel so good,
    Cause I got him where I want him right now.
    And if you could then you know you would.
    Cause God it just feels so…
    It just feels so good.

    I watched his wildest dreams come true
    Not one of them involving you
    Just watch my wildest dreams come true
    Not one of them involving…

    Whoa, I never meant to brag
    But I got him where I want him now.

    Whoa, I never meant to brag
    But I got him where I want him now.
    Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
    To steal it all away from you now.
    But God does it feel so good,
    Cause I got him where I want him now.
    And if you could then you know you would.
    Cause God it just feels so…
    It just feels so good.


    5. When It Rains

    And when it rains,
    On this side of town it touches, everything.
    Just say it again and mean it.
    We don’t miss a thing.
    You made yourself a bed
    At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
    And convinced yourself that
    It’s not the reason you don’t see the sun anymore

    And oh, oh, how could you do it?
    Oh I, I never saw it coming.
    Oh, oh, I need the ending.
    So why can’t you stay
    Just long enough to explain?

    And when it rains,
    Will you always find an escape?
    Just running away,
    From all of the ones who love you,
    From everything.
    You made yourself a bed
    At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
    And you’ll sleep ’til May
    And you’ll say that you don’t want to see the sun anymore

    And oh, oh, how could you do it?
    Oh I, I never saw it coming.
    And oh, oh, I need the ending.
    So why can’t you stay just long enough to explain?

    Take your time.
    Take my time.

    Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)
    Take these chances, we’ll make it somehow
    And take these chances to turn it around. (take my…)
    Just turn it around.

    Oh, how could you do it?
    Oh I, I never saw it coming.
    Oh, oh, how could you do it?
    Oh I, I never saw it coming.
    Oh, oh, how could you do it?
    Oh I, I never saw it coming.
    Oh, oh I need an ending.
    So why can’t you stay
    Just long enough to explain?

    You can take your time, take my time.

    6. Let The Flames Begin

    What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.
    A memory remains, just a tiny spark.
    I give it all my oxygen,
    To let the flames begin
    To let the flames begin.

    Oh, glory.
    Oh, glory.
    This is how we’ll dance when,
    When they try to take us down.
    This is what will be oh glory.

    Somewhere weakness is our strength,
    And I’ll die searching for it.
    I can’t let myself regret such selfishness.
    My pain and all the trouble caused,
    No matter how long
    I believe that there’s hope
    Buried beneath it all and
    Hiding beneath it all and
    Growing beneath it all, and…

    This is how we’ll dance when,
    When they try to take us down
    This is how we’ll sing oh.
    This is how we’ll stand when
    When they burn our houses down.
    This is what will be oh glory.

    Reaching as I sink down into light.
    Reaching as I sink down into light.

    This is how we dance when,
    When they try to take us down
    This is how we’ll sing oh.
    This is how we’ll stand when,
    When they burn our houses down.
    This is what will be oh glory.


    7. Miracle!

    I’ve gone for too long living like I’m not alive
    So I’m gonna to start over tonight
    Beginning with you and I
    When this memory fades
    I’m gonna make sure it’s replaced
    With chances taken
    Hope embraced
    And have I told you?

    I’m not going
    Cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
    And I’m not leaving
    I won’t let you
    Let you give up on a miracle
    When it might save you

    We’ve learned to run from
    Anything uncomfortable
    We’ve tied our pain below and no one ever has to know
    That inside we’re broken
    I try to patch things up again
    To calm my tears and kill these fears
    But have I told you, have I?

    I’m not going
    Cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
    And I’m not leaving
    I won’t let you
    Let you give up on a miracle
    When it might save you

    It’s not faith if, if you use your eyes
    Oh why
    We’ll get it right this time (this time)
    Let’s leave this all behind
    Oh why
    We’ll get it right this time
    It’s not faith if you’re using your eyes
    Oh why

    I’ve gone for too long living like I’m not alive
    So I’m going to start over tonight
    Beginning with you and

    I don’t want to run from anything uncomfortable
    I just want, no
    I just need this pain to end right here

    I’m not going
    Cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
    And I’m not leaving
    I won’t let you
    Let you give up on a miracle
    Cause it might save you

    Yeah, it might save you
    Oh, it might save you

    It’s not faith if, if you use your eyes
    If you use your eyes
    If you use your eyes

    9. We Are Broken

    I am outside
    And I’ve been waiting for the sun
    With my wide eyes
    I’ve seen worlds that don’t belong
    My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
    Tell me why we live like this

    Keep me safe inside
    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me

    Yeah

    What must we do to restore
    Our innocence
    And oh, the promise we adored
    Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

    So everyone will have a choice
    And under red lights
    I’ll show myself it wasn’t forged
    We’re at war
    We live like this

    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me

    Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole


    10. Fences

    I’m sitting in a room,
    Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
    There are people looking through
    The window in the door
    they know exactly what we’re here for.

    Don’t look up
    Just let them think
    There’s no place else
    You’d rather be.

    You’re always on display
    For everyone to watch and learn from,
    Don’t you know by now,
    You can’t turn back
    Because this road is all you’ll ever have.

    And it’s obvious that you’re dying, dying.
    Just living proof that the camera’s lying.
    And oh oh open wide, ’cause this is your night.
    So smile, ’cause you’ll go out in style.
    You’ll go out in style.

    If you let me I could,
    I’d show you how to build your fences,
    Set restrictions, separate from the world.
    The constant battle that you hate to fight,
    Just blame the limelight.

    Don’t look up
    Just let them think
    There’s no place else
    You’d rather be.

    And now you can’t turn back
    Because this road is all you’ll ever have.

    And it’s obvious that you’re dying, dying.
    Just living proof that the camera’s lying.
    And oh oh open wide, ’cause this is your night.
    So smile.

    Yeah, yeah you’re asking for it
    With every breath that you breathe in
    Just breathe it in.
    Yeah, yeah well you’re just a mess

    11. Born For This

    Oh no I just keep on falling
    (Back to the same old…)
    And where’s hope when misery comes crawling?
    (Oh my way, Ay…)
    With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide
    (victory)
    To kill off this common sense of mind

    It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
    You can’t down it with your eyes
    So we don’t need the headlines
    We don’t need the headlines
    We just want…

    (We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)

    Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
    Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
    Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
    Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

    Right now you’re the only reason
    (I’m not letting go, oh…)
    And time out if everyone’s worth pleasing
    (Well ha-ha!)
    You’ll trigger a landslide
    (Victory)
    to kill off their finite state of mind

    It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
    You can’t down it with your eyes
    So we don’t need the headlines
    No, we don’t want your headlines
    We just want…

    (We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)

    Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
    Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

    Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
    Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing

    Disguised as a smile, well
    You would’ve never known

    I had it all
    But not what I wanted
    ‘Cause hope for me
    Was a place uncharted
    And overgrown

    You’d make your way in
    I'd resist you just like this
    "You can't tell me {how} to feel!"

    You can't be too careful anymore

    But only for so long

    3. Playing God
    Can't make my own decisions
    Or make any with precision
    Well maybe you should tie me up
    So I don't go where you don't want me

    You say that I been changing
    that I'm not just simply aging
    Yeah how could that be logical?
    Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

    You don't have to believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror

    If God's the game that you're playing
    Well we must get more acquainted
    Because it has to be so lonely
    To be the only one who's holy

    It's just my humble opinion
    But it's one that I believe in
    You don't deserve a point of view
    If the only thing you see is you

    You don't have to believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror

    This is the last second chance
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    I'm half as good as it gets
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    I'm on both sides of the fence
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    Without a hint of regret
    I'll hold you to it

    I know you don't believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror

    I know you won't believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror

    4. Brick By Boring Brick
    She lives in a fairy tale
    Somewhere too far for us to find
    Forgotten the taste and smell
    Of the world that she's left behind
    It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
    The angles were all wrong now
    She's ripping wings off of butterflies

    Keep your feet on the ground
    When your head's in the clouds
    Well go get your shovel
    And we'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle
    Go get you shovel
    And we'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle
    Ba da ba ba da ba ba ha

    So one day he found her crying
    Coiled up on the dirty ground
    Her prince finally came to save her
    And the rest you can figure out
    But it was a trick
    And the clock struck twelve
    Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
    Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

    Keep your feet on the ground
    When your head's in the clouds
    Well go get your shovel
    And we'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle
    Go get your shovel
    And we'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle

    Well you built up a world of magic
    Because your real life is tragic
    Yeah you built up a world of magic
    If it's not real
    You can't hold it in your hands
    You can't feel it with your heart
    And I won't believe it
    But if it's true
    You can see it with your eyes
    Oh, even in the dark
    And that's where I want to be, yeah

    Go get your shovel
    We'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle
    Go get your shovel
    And we'll dig a deep hole
    To bury the castle, bury the castle

    5. Turn It Off
    I scraped my knees while I was praying
    And found a demon in my safest haven
    Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
    Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

    I wanna know what it'd be like
    To find perfection in the pride
    To see nothing in the light
    Or turn it off in all my spite,
    In all my spite, I'll turn it off

    And the worst part is, before it gets any better
    We're headed for a cliff
    And in the free fall I will realize
    I'm better off when I hit the bottom

    The tragedy it seems unending
    I'm watching everyone I looked up to breaking, bending
    We're taking shortcuts and false solutions
    Just to come out the hero

    Well I can see behind the curtain
    The wheels are cranking turning
    It's all wrong the way we're working
    Towards a goal, that's non-existent, it's non-existent
    But we just keep believing

    And the worst part is, before it gets any better
    We're headed for a cliff
    And in the free fall I will realize
    I'm better off when I hit the bottom

    I wanna know what it'd be like
    To find perfection in my pride
    To see nothing in the light
    Or turn it off in all my spite,
    In all my spite, I'll turn it off
    Just turn it off

    Again
    Again, again

    And the worst part is, before it gets any better
    We're headed for a cliff
    And in the free fall I will realize
    I'm better off when I hit the bottom

    And the worst part is, before it gets any better
    We're headed for a cliff
    And in the free fall I will realize
    I'm better off when I hit the bottom

    6. The Only Exception
    When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
    and curse at the wind.
    He broke his own heart and I watched
    as he tried to reassemble it.

    And my momma swore
    that she would never let herself forget.
    And that was the day that I promised
    I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

    But Darling,
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.

    Maybe I know somewhere
    deep in my soul
    that love never lasts.
    And we've got to find other ways
    to make it alone.
    Keep a straight face.
    And I've always lived like this
    keeping a comfortable distance.
    And up until now I had sworn to myself
    that I'm content with loneliness.

    Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

    Well you are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.

    I've got a tight grip on reality,
    but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
    I know you're leaving in the morning
    when you wake up.
    Leave me with some kind of proof its not a dream.

    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.

    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.

    I'm on my way to believing
    And I'm on my way to believing

    7. Feeling Sorry
    We still live in the same town, well don't we?
    But I don't see you around anymore.
    I go to all the same places
    Not even a trace of you.
    Your days are numbered at 24.

    And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you.
    We're not getting any younger.
    And I won't look back 'cause there's no use.
    Its time to move forward.

    I feel no sympathy.
    You live inside a cave
    You barely get by, the rest of us are trying
    There's no need to apologize
    I've got no time for feeling sorry.

    Well I try not to think of what might happen.
    When your reality it finally cuts through.
    Well as for me I got out and I'm on the road.
    The worst part is that this, this could be you.

    You know it too.
    You can't run from your shame.
    You're not getting any younger.
    And time keeps passing by
    but you wave it away.
    Its time to roll over.

    I feel no sympathy.
    You live inside a cave.
    You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.
    There's no need to apologize
    I've got no time for feeling sorry.

    All the best lies
    they are told with fingers tied.
    So cross them tight.
    Won't you promise me tonight.
    If its the last thing you do
    you'll get out.

    I feel no sympathy.
    You live inside a cave.
    You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.
    There's no need to apologize
    I've got no time, I've got no time.

    I feel no sympathy.
    You live inside a cave.
    You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.
    There's no need to apologize
    I've got no time.
    I've got no time for feeling sorry.

    I've got no time for feeling sorry.

    8. Looking Up
    Things are looking up
    Oh, finally
    I thought I'd never see the day
    When you'd smile at me

    We always pull through
    Oh, when we try
    I'm always wrong
    But you're never right
    Oh, you're never right

    Honestly, can you believe
    We cross the world while it's asleep?
    I'll never trade it in
    'Cause I've always wanted this and
    It's not a dream anymore, no
    It's not a dream anymore
    It's worth fighting for

    Could've given up so easily
    I was a few cheap shots away
    From the end of me

    Taking for granted
    Most everything
    That I would've died for
    Just yesterday
    Just yesterday

    Honestly, can you believe
    We cross the world while it's asleep?
    I'll never trade it in
    'Cause I've always wanted this and
    It's not a dream anymore, no
    It's not a dream anymore
    It's worth fighting for

    God knows the world doesn't need another band
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    But what a waste it would've been
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    I can't believe we almost hung it up
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    We're just getting started
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh

    Honestly, can you believe
    We cross the world while it's asleep?
    I'll never trade it in
    'Cause I've always wanted this and
    It's not a dream anymore, no
    It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
    It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
    It's not a dream anymore
    It's worth fighting for

    I can't believe we almost hung it up
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    We're just getting started
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    I can't believe we almost hung it up
    Whoa, oh, oh
    Whoa, oh, oh
    We're just getting started
    Yeah, we're just getting started

    9. Where The Lines Overlap
    Give me attention
    I need it now
    Too much distance
    To measure it out
    Out loud
    Tracing patterns across a personal map
    And making pictures where the lines overlap
    Where the lines overlap

    No one is as lucky as us
    We’re not at the end but oh we already won
    No one is as lucky as us
    Is as lucky as us

    Call me over
    Tell me how you got so far
    Never making a single sound
    I’m not used to it but I can learn
    Nothing to it
    I’ve never been happier
    I've never been happier

    No one is as lucky as us
    We’re not at the end but oh we already won
    No one is as lucky as us
    Is as lucky as us

    Now I’ve got a feeling
    If I sang this loud enough
    You would sing it back to me
    I’ve got a feeling
    If I sang this loud enough
    You would sing it back to me
    I’ve got a feeling
    I've got a feeling
    You would sing it back to me
    You would sing it back to me

    No one is as lucky as us
    We’re not at the end but oh we already won
    No one is as lucky as us
    Is as lucky as us
    Is as lucky as us

    10. Misguided Ghosts
    I'm going away for a while
    But I'll be back
    Don't try to follow me
    'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
    See, I'm trying to find my place
    But it might not be here where I feel safe
    We all learn to make mistakes...

    And run from them, from them
    With no direction
    We'll run from them, from them
    With no conviction

    'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
    Travelin' endlessly
    Don't need no roads
    In fact, they follow me
    And we just go in circles...

    And now I'm told that this is life
    That pain is just a simple compromise
    So we can get what we want out of it

    Would someone care to classify
    Our broken hearts and twisted minds
    So I can find someone to rely on
    And run to them, to them
    Full speed ahead
    Oh, you are not useless
    We are just

    Misguided ghosts
    Travelin' endlessly
    The ones we trusted the most
    Pushed us far away
    And there's no one road
    We should not be the same
    But I'm just a ghost
    And still they echo me
    They echo me in circles

    11. All I Wanted
    Think of me when you're out
    When you're out there
    I'll beg you nice from my knees
    And when the world treats you way too fairly
    Well it's a shame I'm a dream

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you

    I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
    And fall asleep on the couch
    And wake up early, to black and white re-runs
    That escape from my mouth, oh-oh oh-oh

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you

    I could follow you to the beginning
    Just to relive the start
    Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
    At all of our favorite parts

    All I wanted was you

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you

    Don't Forget
    [D:Don Ho, H: Hoku Ho]

    [D:] When you go away I'll be lonely
    'Cause I've lived each day for you only
    Don't forget
    Remember our promise
    Don't forget
    Remember my love
    [H:] I'll wait across the sea
    In hopes someday that we will again be one
    [D:] After you have gone
    [H:] I'll never say goodbye
    My love will never die
    Oh no

    [H:] In the crowning air of that morning
    I'll be waiting there at the dawning
    Don't forget
    Remember our promise
    Don't forget
    Remember my love
    [D:] If one and one are two
    I know I'll be with you
    Till eternity
    Darling can't you see
    [H:] Until we meet again
    My vow will never end
    I'll see you there in paradise

    [H:] If one and one are two
    I know I'll be with you
    Through eternity
    [D:] Darling can't you see
    [H&D:] Until we meet again
    My vow will never end
    [H:] I'll see you there in paradise
    [D:] Paradise

    Everytime I speak

    I don't believe in true love
    I am alone by nature
    I did not want to let you in
    So why does it feel so classic
    Like some romantic story
    Now that you're underneath my skin

    [Chorus:]
    Every time I speak
    I speak to you
    Every time I reach
    I reach out for you baby
    Every time I breathe
    I feel your heart beating next to mine
    Is it real
    What I feel
    This time

    I am distracted often
    Running to meet you somewhere
    Hoping the flowers never die
    And then you leave me breathless
    Rushing to look in the mirror
    Surprised to see the face is mine

    [Chorus]

    So what is wrong with me
    I know I should be happy
    I don't feel right in my own skin
    I'm just waiting for this whole damn thing to end
    All I can think about
    Is how I can just get out
    Love is maddening
    Love is maddening


    How Do I Feel
    I was free when we met
    You were eating a burito
    With a girl - some brunette
    At El Torosco's
    Then you smiled like you knew
    Someday we'd be together
    And together we were for awhile

    How do I feel
    ever since I walked away from you
    I miss you for real
    Everyday of my life
    How do I feel
    Now that it's over
    Well the thing that I miss the most
    Is missing you

    I was lost for a while
    Every place brought back a memory
    Of a kiss or a smile that you gave me
    Now it's changed
    Well I guess
    More and more I miss you
    Less and less
    Sometimes it's hard to let you go

    Sometimes
    You get trapped in a time of your life
    But you know it gets a little easier over time

    How do I feel
    Now that it's over
    For the thing that I miss the most

    I miss the moody walks in the rain
    I miss the poetry, I miss the days
    I miss the sad songs I used to play
    But the one thing I miss the most
    Is missing you.

    How do I feel
    I miss you for real
    How do I feel
    Now that it's over
    For the thing that I miss the most
    Is missing you

    I'm Scared

    I don't know where we stand anymore
    You've got one foot in my life
    And the other's out the door
    And I can't believe this is happening to me

    Deep inside I've wanted to believe
    That somehow, maybe someday
    There'd be some one there for me
    And I hope I haven't lost my chance

    I don't want to wake up to reality
    Of you not being here with me
    There's so many possibilites
    That we let slip away
    And if you're heart could speak
    What would it say
    You're scared to say you love me, I'm Scared
    Will you always stay
    You don't have to run away

    I wish I could believe in what I feel
    I've been fooled so many times before
    I don't know what is real
    Maybe I'm just fooling myself

    I've been running out of reasons to let go
    Tried opening up my feelings
    But your door is always closed
    And I find myself dreaming my life away

    You don't have to worry
    Cause I'm running out of reason to say no

    In the First Place

    I don't know why
    You came back in my life
    Or why we said goodbye
    In the first place
    In your eyes
    (In your eyes)
    I see where we have been
    (Where we've been)
    And what could be again
    If we can erase the lies
    And the tears that we both cried
    Make me feel alive again
    Take me back where we began
    In the first place
    Maybe
    Maybe it's all wrong
    But you never should have gone
    In the first place
    Without you here
    I always wanted more
    Like what we had before
    In the first place
    And now we know
    (Now we know)
    It wasn't all a dream
    (All a dream)
    You're still a part of me
    When hello became goodbye
    To a love that never died
    Make me feel alive again
    Take me back where we began
    In the first place
    Maybe
    (Maybe, maybe)
    Maybe it's all wrong
    But you never should have gone
    In the first place
    I don't know how we ever let it end
    Or why you're here again
    How did it feel being out on your own
    (Out on your own)
    No one to love you when nobody's home
    (Nobody home)
    You don't know what you've got till you watch it go
    I don't know why
    We ever said goodbye
    In the first place
    Make me feel alive again
    (In the first place)
    Take me back where we began
    In the first place
    Maybe
    (Maybe)
    Maybe it's all wrong
    But you never should have gone
    In the first place
    Make me feel alive again
    Take me back where we began
    In the first place
    Maybe
    Maybe it's all wrong
    But you never should have gone
    In the first place

    Just Enough

    It was nearly nine o'clock when I thought about you
    Are you with someone else
    It was almost ten o'clock when I thought I'd do something to free myself
    And then about twelve o'clock
    I'm driving down your block
    I see a light shining underneath your door
    I'm home about one o'clock
    And you finally call me up
    And I guess I was hoping for just a little more
    You give me
    Just enough to keep me hanging on
    Till I'm ready to move on
    And then you find a way to make your play
    And then I stay
    Just enough to give me hope
    That you will fall in love with me
    Just enough
    Just enough baby
    Will you come and see me today
    Well I don't know
    It's part of the mystery
    Will you come tell me you love me or let me go
    I guess we'll have to see
    You're unpredictable
    And that keeps me interested
    But I'd rather have you right here instead
    You give me
    Just enough to keep me hanging on
    Till I'm ready to move on
    And then you find a way to make your play
    And then I stay
    Just enough to give me hope
    That you will fall in love with me
    Just enough
    Just enough baby
    Oh, oh?­
    You give me
    Just enough to keep me hanging on
    Till I'm ready to move on
    And then you find a way to make your play
    And then I stay
    Just enough to give me hope
    That you will fall in love with me
    Just enough
    Just enough baby
    Oh, oh
    I've been thinking in the back of my mind
    I'm losing sleep
    I'm losing time
    But I just keep on falling
    I'm falling
    I'm falling
    Oh, oh
    It gets harder to define
    In my heart and in my mind
    I know
    I know I should let you go
    Just enough to keep me hanging on
    Till I'm ready to move on
    And then you find a way to make your play
    And then I stay
    Just enough to give me hope
    That you will fall in love with me
    Just enough
    Just enough baby

    Nothing In This World
    Love ended here today
    And the dreams we used to share
    I watched you walk away
    As you told me you still cared
    Now I can't believe your gone
    How could you say goodbye
    You told me you would never make me cry
    You said
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    No way you'd ever let me go
    No no
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    What did you know
    What difference does it make
    If I understand the promises we break are never what we planned
    Cause we plan to stay together till forever then
    Now forever has come to an end
    You said
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    No way you'd ever let me go
    No no
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    What did you know
    You said goodbye
    You said goodbye
    I hear it echo through this empty place inside
    Let it rain
    Just let it rain
    Cause there's nothing left between us
    But the lonely days
    You said
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    (Nothing in this world)
    No way you'd ever let me go
    No, no, no, no
    (No, no, no)
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    What did you know
    (What did you know)
    You said
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    (Nothing in this world)
    No way you'd ever let me go
    No, no, no, no
    Nothing in this world would come between us
    What did you know
    (What did you know)

    Oxygen

    Boy I'm not hurtin' for inspiration
    And I feel when we're together
    It could be forever and ever and ever and ever

    Perfect Day
    Sun's up
    A little after twelve
    Make breakfast for myself
    Leave the work for someone else
    People say
    They say that it's just a phase
    They tell me to act my age,
    Well I am

    On this perfect day,
    Nothing's standing in my way

    On this perfect day,
    When nothing can go wrong

    It's the perfect day,
    Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
    I could stay, forever as I am

    On this perfect day

    Sun's down
    A little after ten
    I pick up all my friends
    In my Mercedes-Benz

    Wake up
    Don't tell me it's just a dream
    'Cause when I've had enough
    You'll hear me say,
    Now don't you try to rain on my

    Perfect day,
    Nothing's standing in my way

    On this perfect day,
    Nothing can go wrong

    It's the perfect day,
    Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
    I could stay, forever as I am
    On this perfect day

    La la la
    La la la,
    Oh, oh

    I'm in the race
    But I've already won
    (La la la)
    And getting there can
    Be half the fun
    (La la la)
    So don't stop me
    Till I'm good and done,
    Don't you try to rain on my

    Perfect day
    It's the perfect day

    It's the perfect day
    Nothing's gonna bring me down
    I could stay, forever as I am

    On this perfect day
    Nothing's standing in my way,

    On this perfect day,
    Nothing can go wrong

    I'm in the race
    But I've already won
    And getting there can
    Be half the fun,
    So don't stop me
    Till I'm good and done,
    Don't you try to rain on my

    Perfect, day
    On this perfect day
    On this perfect day

    To Myself
    Everybody has a story to tell
    And I'd like to share mine with you
    But my heart is kind of fragile
    And I just can't imagine
    It's something that I ought to do
    And I realize
    I'm still hurting deep inside
    Where love used to live

    So I keep myself
    To myself
    I don't want nobody to know me (I keep myself)
    I keep myself
    To myself
    I don't want no lover to own me

    My heart feels like its all broken up
    In tiny pieces that I'll never find
    And I know that I will heal someday
    I will feel again
    But it might take a little more time
    And can't you see
    I'm so insulated
    No one's touchin' me
    At least for now (at least for now)

    So I keep myself
    To myself
    I don't want nobody to know me (I keep myself)
    I keep myself
    To myself
    I don't want no lover to own me

    Then in the shadows of yesterday
    Only peace of mind is when I pray
    That someday I can find a way back home
    Until I'm ready (until I'm ready)
    To love again (until I'm ready)
    Until I'm ready (until I'm ready)
    Until then

    (I keep myself)

    Then in the shadow of yesterday
    Only peace of mind is when I pray
    That somehow I would find a way
    I keep myself

    Then in the shadow of yesterday
    Only peace of mind is when I pray
    That somehow I would find a way
    I keep myself

    I keep myself
    To myself

    I keep myself

    I keep myself
    To myself


    We Will Follow The Sun

    Baby hear me
    When I tell you that I love you
    You give me reasons
    To be always thinking of you
    Day or night, night or day
    It doesn't matter
    You give me hope
    You got me dreaming of forever

    [Chorus:]
    We will follow the sun together
    Will this love of ours last forever
    Who knows
    But until that day comes
    We will follow the sun

    Baby hear me
    When I tell you that I need you
    And I'm not saying this
    Only just to please you
    You and me together baby
    That's where it's at
    It's the way that I feel
    It's as simple as that

    [Chorus]

    Faith is just a sunrise away
    I love you more my baby
    With every new day
    He loves me -- he loves me yeah


    What You Need
    If you belong to me
    Nothing else would matter
    I'd give you the moon and the stars
    On a silver platter
    Kiss you the way
    You should be kissed
    And how you the kind of love
    That you've missed
    So hear me sweet baby
    My heart won't lie

    What you need is what you get
    If you come to me
    I'll give you


    You First Believed
    How many times did I pray
    You'd find me
    How many wishes on a star
    Gazing off into the dark
    Dreaming I'd see your face
    Safe at home unafraid
    Captured in your embrace

    So many times
    When my heart was broken
    Visions of you
    Would keep me strong
    You were with me all along
    Guiding my every step
    You are all that I am
    And I'll never forget

    It was you who first believed
    In all that I was made to be
    It was you looking in my eyes
    You held my hand
    And showed me life
    And I've never been the same
    Since you first believed

    There were times
    When I'd thought I'd lost you
    Fearing forever was a dream
    But it wasn't what it seemed
    Placing your hand in mine
    You could see in the dark
    You were guiding my heart

    It was you who first believed
    In all that I was made to be
    It was you looking in my eyes
    You held my hand
    And you showed me life
    And I've never been the same
    Since you first believed

    How many times did I pray
    You'd find me
    How many wishes on a star
