Affirmation
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality I believe that trust is more important than monogamy I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul I believe that family is worth more than money or gold I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists I believe in love surviving death into eternity I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Hold me
Hey If we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Hey More than angry words I hate this silence It's getting so loud Well I want to scream But bitterness has silenced these emotions It's getting hard to breathe So tell me isn't happiness Worth more than a gold diamond ring? I'm willing to do anything To calm the storm in my heart I've never been the praying kind But lately I've been down upon my knees Not looking for a miracle Just a reason to believe I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Do you remember not long ago? When we used to live for the nighttime Cherish each moment Now we don't live we exist We just run through our lives So alone That's why you've got to hold me Hey If we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

I knew I loved you
Maybe it's intuition but some things you just don't question Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant And there it goes, I think I found my best friend I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe... I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life There's just no rhyme or reason Only the sense of completion And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces I'm searching for I think I've found my way home I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe... I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life A thousand angels dance around you I am complete now that I've found you I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life (To Fade)

The best thing
Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry Stuck in a maze searching for a way to Shut down run around feel the ground beneath me You're so close where do you end where do I begin? Always pushing and pulling Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered North of gravity head up in the stratosphere You and I roller coaster riding love You're the center of adrenaline And I'm beginning to understand Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me Walk on broken glass make my way through fire These are the things I would do for love Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason Up is down the impossible occurs each day This intoxication thrills me I only pray it doesn't kill me Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me You're the center of adrenaline And I'm beginning to understand You could be the best thing about me Never want to fly Never want to leave Never want to say what you mean to me Never want to run Frightened to believe You're the best thing about me You could be the best thing about me What if you're the best thing about me?

Crash and burn
When you feel all alone And the world has turned it's back on you Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone When you feel all alone And a loyal friend is hard to find You're caught in a one way street With the monsters in your head When hopes and dreams are far away and You feel like you can't face they day Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone Because there has always been heartache and pain And when it's over you'll breathe again You'll breath again When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please To tame your wild wild heart Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone

Chained to you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me And I think about it all the time Sweet temptation rush all over me And I think about it all the time Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because I feel the magic all around you It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe I've got to be chained to you And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency Fascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mystery And I think about you all the time Is this fate is it my destiny That I think about you all the time I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because I feel the magic all around you It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe I've got to be chained to you I feel the magic building around you I feel the magic all around you It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe I've got to be chained to you And I think about it all the time And I think about it all the time Tell me it's madness I barely know you We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me Ten steps back you're still a mystery Acting live a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me I can't take anymore because I feel the magic all around you It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe I've got to be chained to you I feel the magic building around you I feel the magic all around you It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe I've got to be chained to you Tell me it's madness I barely know you.

The animal song
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far I've got to break away So take my hand now (Chorus): 'Cause I want to live like animals Careless and free like animals I want to live I want to run through the jungle With wind in my hair and the sand at my feet I don't have any difficulties keeping to myself Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie Which one is more human There's a thought, now you decide Compassion in the jungle Compassion in your hands, yeah Would you like to make a run for it Would you like to take my hand, yeah (Chorus) Sometimes this life can get you down It's so confusing There's so many rules to follow And I feel it 'Cause I just run away in my mind Superstars and cannonballs running through your head Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie Which one is more human There's a thought, now you decide Compassion in the jungle Compassion in your hands, yeah Would you like to make a run for it Would you like to take my hand, yeah (Repeat Chorus till fade)

The lover after me
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today It's been seven months and counting You've moved on I still feel exactly the same It's just the that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name Like photographs and memories of love Steel and granite reminders The city calls your name and I can't move on Ever since you've been gone The lights go out the same The only difference is You call another name To your love To your lover now To your love The lover after me Am I all alone in the universe? There's no love on these streets I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway So this is my new freedom It's funny I don't remember being chained But nothing seems to make sense anymore Without you I'm always twenty minutes late Ever since you've been gone The lights go out the same The only difference is You call another name To your love To your lover now To your love The lover after me And time goes by so slowly The nights are cold and lonely I shouldn't be holding on But I'm still holding on for you Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today But I'm standing at your doorway I'm calling out your name because I can't move on Ever since you've been gone The lights go out the same The only difference is You call another name To your love To your lover now To your love The lover after me

Two beds and a coffee machine
And she takes another step Slowly she opens the door Check that he is sleeping Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away Pack up the kids in the car Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through And there are children to think of Baby's asleep in the backseat Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare But the mind is an amazing thing Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel Two beds and a coffee machine But there are groceries to buy And she knows she'll have to go home Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write Another lonely highway in the black of night But there's hope in the darkness You know you're going to make it Another ditch in the road Keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Silent fortress built to last Wonder how I ever made it

You can still be free
Cool breeze and Autumn leaves Slow motion daylight A lone pair of watchful eyes Oversee the living Feel the presence all around A tortured soul A wound unhealing No regrets or promises The past is gone But you can still be free If time will set you free Time now to spread your wings To take to flight The life endeavor Aim for the burning sun You're trapped inside But you can still be free If time will set you free But it's a long long way to go Keep moving way up high You see the light It shines forever Sail through the crimson skies The purest light The light that sets you free If time will set you free Sail through the wind and rain tonight You're free to fly tonight And you can still be free If time will set you free And going higher than mountain tops And go high the wind won't stop And go high Free to fly tonight Free to fly tonight

Gunning down romance
Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain And feelings of aggressions are the absence of the love drug in Your veins Love come quickly Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in It's on the brink Love come quickly Because I don't think I can keep this monster in It's in my skin Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine They're morphine Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt bur rarely seen Rarely seen Love I beg you Lift me up into that privileged point of view The world of two Love don't leave me Because I console myself that Hallmark cards are true I really do I'm gunning down romance It never did a thing for me But heartache and misery Ain't nothing but a tragedy Love don't leave me Take these broken wings I'm going to take these broken wings And learn to fly And learn to fly away And learn to fly away I'm gunning down romance

I don't know you anymore
I would like to visit you for a while Get away and out of this city Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break We can go sit on your back porch Relax Talk about anything It don't matter I'll be courageous if you can pretend you've forgiven me Because I don't know you anymore I don't recognize this place The picture frames have changed and so has your name We don't talk much anymore We keep running from the pain But what I wouldn't give to see your face again I know I let you down Again and again I know I never really treated you right I've paid the price I'm still paying for it every day So maybe I shouldn't have called Was it too soon to tell? Oh what the hell It doesn't really matter How do you redefine something that never really had a name? Has your opinion changed? Because I don't know you anymore I don't recognize this place The picture frames have changed and so has your name We don't talk much anymore We keep running from the pain But what I wouldn't give to see your face again I see your face I see your face
