Saved For You 03:44
lyrics

Lyrics: You never know On any given day What the day will show And what you can learn If you wanna know The answers to your mistakes And heart breaks And it breaks my heart When you fall apart I just want you to heal I just want you to feel The bricks taken off your back I wish I hadn’t said what I said I wanna jump in your head And find out what you’re thinking Find out why you’re sinking Sing a melody Help you out of a tree As I continue to think out loud and I Say uh uh its not enough to quit Sew you up when you are torn and ripped Kiss your pain goodbye when you fall from the sky Its you – and you know – my best is saved for you Saved for you Solid oak tree is what I try to be But somehow through the holes you see in me There’s a light that shines to my surprise And you’re all I want When you fall apart Throw my answers away For every question you say Cause I know that its for the best If I Close my eyes and start To listen with my heart Give you room to breathe And let you pour your thoughts on me Sing a melody Help you out of a tree As you continue to think out loud and you

Never Wanna Live Without 02:49

Lyrics: You know that we have done some crazy things together Remember running naked through the park together It wasn’t long ago we professed our love and things were all good But things have changed although it’s still sunny weather And we’re not making love no more to each other But I wouldn’t trade the world for what we have instead ‘cause you know I don’t ever wanna live without Never ever wanna see you down Take the memries that we love the most Put them in a book and make a toast Cry a river on your shoulder at night Be as vulnerable as I would like Call in sick for work and run through the rain Make a moment that we can’t explain! You know I still can’t stand that you’re always on time And I know that you hate it I’m late past a dime I’m a little bit vain and I talk about myself a little too much You’re a little bit strange when you dance your dance A little stubborn when you want your way there’s no chance That you’re ever gonna change and I like it that way I don’t ever wanna live without So here’s to you and what you’re all about Take the mem’ries that we love the most Put them in a book and make a toast Cry a river on your shoulder at night Be as vulnerable as I would like Call in sick for work and run through the rain Make a moment that we can’t explain! Was there ever any doubt That we’d always stick it out Through thick and through the thin Ya I think there was one time That our souls just didn’t rhyme But that’s what has brought us to this place

Renegade Soul 03:03
lyrics

Lyrics: People call me crazy cause they can’t quite figure me out But I know Nothing in this world can save me nothing ‘cept a little love for my heart broke soul (nothing can save me my heart broken soul) Sometimes I hear the song Sometimes I stand deaf and alone A cat that uses all nine lives That’s me – that’s just how I thrive When I hurt, when I heal, as I waltz through this crazy game I talk a million words in a beat When signs are sayin I shouldn’t speak Some days I’m in the front row at church Some nights I’m plotting plans in the dirt To escape, steal a day, run away, to another town to play Cause I’m a renegade soul I’m always ready to go Cause I don’t know how to slow – down To keep my feet on the ground and stick around Suffocating slowly in a soft warm comfortable place – doesn’t feel right Killing you with kindness is the way I like to get in your face - calm as midnight Sometime I lack the discipline I speed and pay the price again I know this day is soon gonna end Before its done I’m having no regerets Running hard, driving fast, jumping blind, falling further from my place When I feel fine and my life is safe That’s when I draw the line and contemplate this place

Lyrics: I want to I need to I feel with my heart What I say to you All the songs that I sing All the flowers I bring Don’t begin to show you All my love, all my love All the blue in the sky All the sun in my eyes This is what you are You bring peace to my mind Lov’ly mem’ries I find When I think of you and I pledge to you All my love, all my love, all my love If I knew of a chance that I’d be without you I’d dry up and die I just know that beyond a shadow of a doubt That you’re there for me I want to I need to I feel with my heart When I say I do I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I feel you I know you your thoughts are with me always, always

Lyrics: I felt you leave Awhile ago And it tore me all to pieces Put my game face on Held my feelings back Hoping desperately for changes But now its gone too far I don’t wanna feel you I don’t wanna need you I just wanna move on I just need some time to leave it all behind me Bleed you from my body Cry you out my system I just wanna let you go I just wanna let you go Try to tell myself That I’m better off Even when I’m feeling lonely Took your pictures down Buy only one by one As I re-lived every memry Try to hold back what I know I don’t wanna feel you I don’t wanna need you I just wanna move on I just need some time to leave it all behind me Bleed you from my body Cry you out my system I just wanna let you go I just wanna let you go

Just You 03:44

Lyrics: There’s something ‘bout the way you live That turns me on I see you fight the rain and wind They both slide and blow off your skin And how you never grab onto habits that-- That hold you down Find a flower of faith when you need it most And you let it grow It’s just you You, the truth and your love That I see Crossing deserts and seas Just you When I was growing up as a kid I watched He-man and Starwars and stories that would always spin My dreams up in whirlwinds and my fantasies into space But the hero guiding me With all my hopes and trials to face Was always standing with two feet on the ground Making my life so profound Raising me day after day wiping tears It was you You, your truth and your love Gave to me To cross all the deserts and seas Just you Instrumental It was you You, your truth and your love Gave to me To cross all the deserts and seas Just you

Lyrics: I used to write love songs I used to fall hard with every crush Lassoed the moon down Gave it to the special girls I touched Lost in a fantasy of my world Scared ‘em away with too much of me Now I let it be All my life I’ve waited for you Painted pictures built a house to Hold up through the winter and at night But I will wait until she’s right it’s right….. for me I’ve followed the road Now it’s my turn to pick my path I think that I’m close To possibly finding her - the one I love the most ya Maybe she’s someone I’ve known all my life Maybe she’s on the bus next to me And I won’t let it be All my life I’ve waited for you Painted pictures built a house to Hold up through the winter and at night But I will wait until she’s right Maybe she’s someone I’ve known all my life Maybe she’s on the train next to me Maybe I should see….. All my life I’ve waited for you Painted pictures built a house to Hold up through the winter and at night But I’ll continue waiting.. All my life I’ve waited for you Painted pictures built a house to Hold up through the winter and at night And I’ll continue waiting for her I’ll continue waiting…. Waiting for her

Trial By Self 03:16

Lyrics: I Lost my sight Lost my breath Lost the fight Somehow I, I Closed my eyes Clenched my hands And disappeared in fear My foolish lies They led me far from my life Hid me away From friends that tried to save me Its been said before That once its done its done The knives I pull out your heart Leave their ugly scars And now I cry as I pray For strength to finally say I’m listenin I love you I love you I love you But how can I sew back the torn trust between us Its all I can do Now its all I can do Now its all I can do Now and I -- It’s a trial by self Tried to hide that side of me you hated You couldn’t find a way to escape it I bled my pain onto your plate But it was already full of your own mistakes It’s a trial by self A trial by self Trial by self

Hard To Control 03:49

Lyrics: Sunday driving home There’s no one on the road it’s late – can’t think But all my thoughts are screaming out loud Stare at the road As the yellow lines guide me home And I’m fading far away on a train wreck of emotion My eyes glaze over as I lose myself How do I return to what only seemed like moments ago Chorus I want my life back, some questions solved I long for that balance that I always seemed to have when I was young So hard to gauge now When I’ve gone too far It seems my extremes are so hard to control So hard to control Wake up its Wednesday Feel like I’m 20 pounds overweight Sleep deprived, I’m out of shape and my life’s a month behind Social life on the shelf I’m running marathons to change my health But my friends say now they’ve lost another friend and it hurts Dive in to a blanket of work to escape Try to fix my mistakes by overcompensating I want my life back, some questions solved I long for that balance that I always seemed to have when I was young So hard to gauge now When I’ve gone too far It seems my extremes are so hard to control So hard to control Bridge I’m tryin to find the line Between black and white, day and night I need to fight for balance in what’s wrong and right

Something That You Said To Me 03:30

Lyrics: Sometimes, I’m left to think about what you said Until the next day, because it takes a little while before it sinks in my head And all my thoughts are, I hope this all works out for the best Because I’m fighting with my hope and my faith and my purpose in life But you reminded me of what that is and every time you do you make me wanna sing Chorus Something that you said to me Has given me the strength I needed Something more than what I am Has pulled me all together Changed my life forever I know what I want now (changed my life forever) I know what I need now (always and forever) Knowing that you know me Better than myself You come back to me building my heart back up Knowing I’ll hold again real soon And if you wanna know and wanna see Why things are working now Chorus Something that you said to me has given me the strength I needed Something more than what I am has pulled me all together changed my life forever I know what I want now (changed my life forever) I know what I need now (always and forever) Bridge I know this time won’t be the last time That I’m cut down to my knees But I know next time I fall I’ll hear what I need just like always Chorus x2 I know what I want now Ya ya I know what I need now Ya ya

Lyrics: I think you noticed oh I bet you noticed by now I’m just a tiny bit loud I’m my own little crowd Let your hair down Girl go head unbutton your shirt Lets see that famous smirk Hike a little more skirt We’re gonna dance mmhmm We’re gonna dance all night long Down a drink that’s really strong And sing your favourite song Cause all I really want is All I really want is you To have some fun And feel the moments one by one All I really want is All I really want is you To play with me And unlock our intimacy You’re so fantastic oh I’m so distracted its true I can’t take my eyes off you You’re such a beautiful view We’ll take a trip runaway Drive my car to the ground And leave it in someone else’s town I didn’t want it anyhow Chorus And when the sun rises up I know that you’ll be with me No matter what cause it couldn’t be better with anyone else you see With anyone else

Can You Feel It 02:45

Lyrics: Ohh lately, in your eyes I can see All the fun that you know you can’t hide You have all the time in the world To believe that the playground is yours You get lost in a fantastic place Only found when you’re winning the race Sing the song….. Are – you – ready for the sunshine Are - you - ready for the rain Jump in the sea take it from me Everything’s how it should be Can you feel it?!! And now it’s dark but the light’s not all gone The glow of the sky keeps you calm And your mind’s slowly running out of words to whisper my way As the fire flickers away But you know - there’s a time and a place Go to sleep now - let the sun warm your face Sing the song ….. Oooh Are – you – ready for the sunshine Are - you - ready for the rain Jump in the sea take it from me Everything’s how it should be Can you feel it?! Are – you – ready for the sunshine Are - you - ready for the rain Jump in the sea take it from me Everything’s how it should be Can you feel it?!

London Is Calling (Acoustic) 03:28
lyrics

Lyrics: London is calling, calling Your name And out of the fog it plays a game Some days I lose The city I’m from Its just a town compared to this place London is calling, calling Your name Whispers through shadows And through its fame And anonymity hides people and souls as a transient population flows onto the west side of town And you just survive, sometimes You barely survive London can’t hear me cry as I’m talking back Swallowed by the sky My voice starts to crack I lost my place and found it here I left my home and made it here Dug up my life and sewed the seeds to grow a great big tree And I just survive, sometimes I barely survive Its hard to wake up when it’s a cold day There’s someone waiting to take my place Steal my air supply in the elevator and subways No privacy but alone being watched all day And I just survive, sometimes I barely survive…..
