Recovery
I never got to say how I felt that day. I wanted to let you know I'm letting go. I'm waiting for relief to come once everything is said and done allows me to sleep. The tragedy of my desire, the honesty my heart requires, you couldn't give to me. Can anybody find me? Anyone or anywhere? Is anyone listening? Is anyone out there? Lying awake, waiting for love to come along and take me away. I've seen the way that you come along and rescue me. Your love is recovery. I never could forget the scent you left behind. You never meant to leave me hanging on. That day we sat inside your car you said we needed time apart. You said 'I've got to figure out the way this scene should all play out.' I'm breaking down I'm caving in I'm falling out of love again. I only need to know. Can anybody find me? Anyone or anywhere? Is anyone listening? Is anyone out there? Lying awake, waiting for love to come along and take me away. I've seen the way that you come along and rescue me. Your love is recovery. Recovery, recovery. I never got to say how I felt that day. I wanted to let you know I'm letting go. I'm lying awake, waiting for love to come along and take me away. I've seen the way that come along and rescue me. Your love is recovery, recovery, recovery, recovery, recovery. Your love is recovery.
Lullaby
A lullaby for you. Say goodnight to your day. Tomorrow comes in exchange for the breath you waste in your complaint. The sheep are counted and tucked in again and again. But for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby, lullaby. And for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby. Clean skin, oh so soft tucked tight between the sheets. My thoughts roll off my mind and over my lips. Blessings counted, my soul to keep again and again and again and again. But for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby, lullaby. And for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby. Babe come and go with me to the place that's safe, safe inside. Babe come and go with me to the place that's safe, safe inside.
But for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby, lullaby. And for now I'll dream of angels singing Halleluiah. Moving melody, lullaby.
Slamming Doors
Must you hang your head down to the floor? If you'd look up then you'd find a little more than what you see on the ground. I could have told you that you'd get sucked in. But you did it all and did it all again, and then you fell. And now you're on the ground. So just get up, get up. Well you should stand up, stand up. So that when you get fed up, fed up, you can see that there's more to this life than my dirty feet and dying grass and blades turned brown. And there's more to this crisis than the blood and sweat of needs not met and all these slamming doors. Slamming doors. It always hurts no matter what I do. When I want to stay, I run away from you and then I fall. You know it never fails. So I should get up, get up. But, I can't stand up, stand up. And I'm getting so fed up, fed up cause I can't see that there's more to this life than my dirty feet and dying grass and blades turned brown. And there's more to this crisis than the blood and sweat of needs not met and all these slamming doors. Oh why can't you just say you love me then we could run away, run away. And why can't I just drop these lines and then we could fly away to anywere but here. Anywhere but that place. Anywhere but there. Anywhere that's not so gray. There's more to this life than my dirty feet and dying grass and blades turned brown. And there's more to this crisis than the blood and sweat of needs not met and all these slamming doors.
All About You
Well if I were the shore, you would be the sea that washed onto and surrounded me. Your white capped waves carry me away. And if I were an animal, you'd be the cage that kept me from the anger and rage of this old world, this town, and all its decay. So I'll sing a new song of the nights and the stars and the kisses that have kept me strong. And our days are numbered and few and the dreams that I dreamt of baby, they were all about you. Well if I were the house, you would be the back door, where I could retreat and stoop down low - on my knees on the ground, with my hands held high. And the songs you've been singing, they are dirges now, baby. As you strum your guitar you've been frowning lately. You've been thinking about the mistakes you made. So I'll sing a new song of the nights and the stars and the kisses that have kept me strong. And our days are numbered and few, and the dreams that I dreamt of baby, they were all about you.
The One Who Is Love
In a moment, in an instant three worlds collide. For a lifetime, an eternity, your hand in mine and the one, and the one, and the one who is love. From the beginning to the end you are my love, you're my best friend. Spanish sunsets, mountain breeze - in the midst of this creation, I can see and I believe in the One, in the One, in the One who is love. You're my love and you're my life. You're my angel in disguise. You're my everything. You make me whole. In sickness and in health I'll stand beside you and I'll hold your hand in love as two become one. I take you now, my love my life. I stand before you and my God and I know how He loves. He's the One, He's the One, He's the One who is Love.
MORE LYRICS
The First Time, The Last Time
I can see you're waiting there, you're waiting for someone to care. A reason to let all these vices go and follow your heart home. It's been easier for you to believe the lies over the truth. You'd rather not appraise the way you lost your love and gained this hate. You say that it's the first time, and you say that it's the last time, but where were you the last time that I needed you to be with me? And I know that it's a thin line that you have to walk this time. But, I know this time this time you can you can get it right. The angels they all rally for you, gather round and sing out the tune that reminds you that the melody's the cure to your disease. Angels place bets with their halos, you place regrets on the table. You don't have the strength to stand so fall back in their arms. You say that it's the first time, and you say that it's the last time. But where were you the last time that I needed you to be with me? And I know that it's a thin line that we have to walk this time. But I know this time this time we can we can set things right somehow. All your senses come together and the fences are torn down. Can you hear the desperation in my heart? Screaming louder, faster, longer, begging for an honest start. Dying for an honest start.
Ballad of Regret
I know that you've grown tired. That's what happens when you build a wall between you and everything else but me. And brick by brick you've traveled far from the world around you. You're gaining distance, you're gaining speed. But you don't need to say that you're sorry, cause you don't own this guilt. It's my confusion, pain, and loneliness that causes you to doubt. Break down the wall that binds you up and holds you down. We'll burn it to the ground. I feel each brick that buries me. My chest is its new foundation. But you don't need to say that you're sorry, cause you don't own this guilt. It's my confusion, pain, and loneliness that causes you that causes me to doubt what i know to doubt this existence to doubt this great love to doubt His forgiveness to doubt this escape to doubt this decision to doubt my own worth to doubt destined innocence. And you don't need to say that you're sorry, cause you don't own this guilt. It's my confusion, pain and loneliness that causes you and causes me to doubt.
Time She Needs
It's time she needs, time to breathe, time to start again with you. It's time she needs. It's time to bleed, time to leave, time to get on with this moment. I'm walking the high wire. Redeye watching for the moment when we slipped through cracks and fell a million miles away. Good intentions, interruptions, then I sink from this corruption. 'Watch your step' you say. Cause it's time she needs, time to breathe, time to start again with you. It's time she needs. It's time to bleed, time to leave, time to get on with this moment. I'm walking the high wire. Ear drums resinate in motion, symbiotic sense of ocean meets the sand with waves. Logic supercedes the notion, I depend on this emotion anyway. Cause it's time she needs, time to breathe, time to start again with you. It's time she needs. It's time to bleed, time to leave, time to get on with this moment. I'm walking the high wire. Why can't you see what you're doing to me? (Eyes driving deeper, my heart is getting harder, skin growing weary, bones break from the fury of) It's time she needs, time to breathe, time to start again with you. It's time she needs. It's time to bleed, time to leave, time to get on with this moment. I'm walking the high wire.
Better Off
If you can sleep soundly without me by your side, you're better off without me. You're better off without me. I can see that we're not getting anywhere with this. So, I'll stop crying and I'll learn to walk alone again. The harder I pull the more you resist. So, I'll stop trying to do anything but move on. If you can sleep soundly without me by your side, you're better off without me. You're better off without me. You're better off without me. Just tell me one thing before I go. Will I always end up on my own? Will there ever be a happy ending? A good goodbye? You're better off without me. You're better off without me. I'm better off without you. I'm better off without you. If you can sleep soundly without me by your side, you're better off without me. You're better off without me.
Fifth and Main
I was sittin on the Fifth and Main waiting for another train to come along and pick me up. You were standing in your underwear waiting for another fairytale to come along. If you could see the way you smile when laughter comes and takes you by surprise. The way your eyes light up your face, your beauty is contagious. I'm amazed. We spoke of weather, friends, and how you couldn't seem to talk about the way you left that day. But baby it's all right with me if you just sit here silently and listen to me talk about the birds. If you could see the way you smile when laughter comes and takes you by surprise. The way your eyes light up your face, your beauty is contagious. I'm amazed. I'm amazed. I know you'll be there in the end, cause we're more than fair weather friends, through rain and snow and sunny days alike. I've had to spend some time alone to figure out where I should go and who I am when I stand on my own. If you could see the way you smile when laughter comes and takes you by surprise. The way your eyes light up your face. Your beauty is contagious. I'm amazed.
