More Than Alright
02:17
|
|||
I want more than alright
I need more than keeping on
And you deserve the same
There’s no one here to blame
So let down your guard
Let’s have it out
You can cry if you want to
I’ll fly if you need me to

The Way Forward
04:31
|

Maybe the way forwards to let it all crumble
That’d be better than to lay ourselves
In the hurt and the rubble
Did we build it all up to watch it fall?
I’m not a fighter
I was born a lover
No, I won’t give in
But I might need a moment now and then
I don’t want to get off
Or take the easy way out
I want to be kind to each other
And I don’t want to fail us now
When I picture the perfect day
I get away
Surrounded by nature
I shed my skin and I melt in the river
Free of my fear and my anger
And that’s what I want for you
‘Cause I’m not a fighter
I was born a lover
No, I won’t give in
But I might need a moment now and then
I don’t want to get off
Or take the easy way out
I want to be kind to each other
And I don’t want to fail us now
I’m not a fighter
I was born a lover
No, I won’t give in
But I might need a moment now and then
I don’t want to get off
Or take the easy way out
I want to be kind to each other
And I don’t want to fail us now
No, I couldn’t want you more
Oh, I couldn’t want you more
Oh, I

Hollywood Lights
03:35
|
|||
The old, broken-down Ferrari
That we passed on the drive to the Hollywood sign
I think it kind of hit me heavy
That abuse to such a sweet ride
But I guess even something beautiful
Will decay when it’s left alone
Can you keep on driving, baby
While I get stoned?
Oh, getting high under the Hollywood lights
In the hills tonight
Oh, I couldn’t love you more
Under the Hollywood lights, the Hollywood lights
Weave me through the flowers in the canyon
Take me to your favorite stone
I want to get lost with you, but stay close
Because I don’t want to be left alone
I don’t want to feel jealousy
And I don’t want to feel ashamed
I want to tell you all of my secrets
And I don’t wanna play any games
Oh, getting high under the Hollywood lights
In the hills tonight
Oh, I couldn’t love you more
Under the Hollywood lights, the Hollywood lights
Oh, getting high under the Hollywood lights
In the hills tonight
Oh, I couldn’t love you more
Under the Hollywood lights, the Hollywood lights

Until It's Gone
03:43
|
|||
I don’t know how it came on
But I know that it came by you
I know I’ll never be the same
And I know that it changed you too
Like a breath to a drowning man
Take it in and you’ll understand
When it’s gone there’s a deep dark hole
When it’s there you’re never alone
Sometimes I don’t know what I’ve got
Until it’s gone
How could I be so damn blind for so long?
So here we are
Eighteen years and counting
So far from the place where we started
Am I too sentimental?
Or did we just stop being careful?
Forget that love is fragile
Sometimes I don’t know what I’ve got
Until it’s gone
How could I be so damn blind for so long?
We were both made to love
But I couldn’t see
That sometimes I don’t know what I’ve got
Until it’s standing in front of me
Here we are
Eighteen years and counting
You’re still beautiful
Sometimes I don’t know what I’ve got
Until it’s gone
How could I be so damn blind for so long?

Die For You
02:37
|
|||
Let me take a second so I can look at you
You’re a work of art and you don’t even know it
You brilliantly weave your way
Through land mines
The trappings of the day
And find the beauty
Baby, I would die for you
God knows I have cried for you
Baby, I would die for you
God knows I have cried
I stay up late when we’re hit by a storm
My head rewinds to the day you were born
Spring had come and the pull of the full moon
Drew you out of your mother’s womb
Baby, I would die for you
God knows I have cried for you
Baby, I would die for you
God knows I have cried

Something Beautiful
03:19
|
|||
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
It’s not the clothes you wear
It’s not the cut of your hair
It’s the waves that you make when you’re walking beside me
It’s not the color of your eyes
Or the way you unwind
It’s the way you see the future and refuse to define me
And that feels so nice
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
Oh, we should take a walk
And never look back
I’ve got a bit of money
And a portable four-track
We could make a record
In the basement of my best friend’s house
You could be the singer
And I can play guitar
I’ll book us a slot at the local bar
And the words on the poster would say
Yours and my name
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I’m getting ahead of myself
But, you drive me insane
I know I’ve got a chance
With your looks and your brains
Oh, I just wanna be with you
Every minute of every day
The future’s looking bright
But for now I just wanna ride your wave
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
I think this could be the start of something beautiful
Something beautiful

Close to You
02:30
|
|||
I don’t want to get close to you
I’m afraid I might break if I do
You’re a wrecking ball in designer clothes
And everybody tells me so
I lay my head on your silken pillow
It feels like heaven
So, what the fuck do they know?
You’ve got the sunlight and I’ve got the moon
We can re-align in March or in late June
And each of us is reaching for impossible things
So, let’s see what the day brings
I lay my head on your silken pillow
It feels like heaven
So, what the fuck do they know?
I let my thoughts out
And you hear me
God I’m grateful
That you’re here with me
Are you there?
Are you there?
Are you there?

Our Love
03:25
|
|||
Everything leads to this
You say you’re all mine
Then we seal it with a kiss
You tell it all
And say next to nothing
We planted the seed
Now we’re drowning in the ocean
Passed the building
Where we fell in love
You felt nothing
But I’m still in love
If it don’t feel good
Then it ain’t right
I thought I was your true love
No, we fade into the light
Oh, how’d we make a right wrong
And turn our love into a sad song
Baby you were so close to me
It’s time we write a love letter
And find the words to keep it together
Our love, our love, a love, a love, a love again
Baby you’re taking far more than your share
Leaving the closest to you fighting for air
Feel like I’m carrying the weight on my shoulders
Thought I’d be loving you till we were both older
I guess it must’ve been something I said to you
Oh, but I wouldn’t hurt you even if I wanted to
No, I never ever wanted to
Oh, how’d we make a right wrong
And turn our love into a sad song
Baby you were so close to me
It’s time we write a love letter
And find the words to keep it together
Our love, our love, a love, a love, a love again

Tinsel Fountains
02:54
|
|||
Tinsel fountains glisten in your bedroom window
Early in the morning
Lay my head upon your pillow
Take your scent
Now I'm the one that's shining
‘Cause I love you
‘Cause I love you
In the middle of the pouring rain
You smile at me, and I can only do the same
We've never been like them
We've always been like you and I
We can fly
We can
‘Cause I love you
‘Cause I love you
‘Cause I love you
‘ Cause I love you
Oooohh

Are You a Stranger?
02:02
|
|||
Are you a stranger?
Are you a stranger to me?
Are you a stranger?
Are you a stranger to me?
All that I thought I knew
Is not what I thought it would be
Are you a stranger?
Are you a stranger to me?
