Slipping Away
03:17
|
|||
I didn’t take it – My chances are slipping away
They’re floating like clouds on a very sunny day
I should’ve faced it – In case it should come round again
You just never know cause it happens now and then…
So many questions with answers that I never knew
They weigh on my mind but I always make it through
I wouldn’t say it – Just let it run wild in my head
I’ve heard it before but the words have all been said…
It’s time to be leaving – Because time keeps on slipping away
It doesn’t have to be – It doesn’t have to be that way…
I didn’t chase it - but still it keeps coming around
Tied to a boulder that always drags me down
And I can’t break it – Though God knows the way that I’ve tried
I’m running away but there’s no place left to hide.
It’s time to be leaving – Because time keeps on slipping away
It shouldn’t have to be – It shouldn’t have to be that way…

There Are Reasons
02:03
|
|||
There are reasons why I love you
There are reasons why I care
There are reasons without question
I don’t need to understand
There are reasons why I want you
There are reasons to stay true
There are reasons that may linger
I don’t need to think it through
Every day – I don’t have to worry if I’ll
Change the way that I feel inside
Anyway, it isn’t a contemplation
If I should stay when I just enjoy the ride
There are reasons why I’m happy
There are reasons I’m not sad
There are reasons we’re together
I don’t need to understand…
I don’t need to understand…
I don’t need to understand at all

Cross The Line
02:32
|
|||
I’m not telling you something
I’m not telling you things you don’t already know
I’m not telling you nothing…
But sometimes you just have to let it go…
I’m not talking about it
I’m not moving an inch across that line
I’m not dancing around it
The less you know means everything is fine…
I’m not telling you nothing
You already know what is yours and is mine
I’m not shouting about it
Until someone walks across that line
I’m not telling you nothing
You already know what is yours and is mine
I’m not shouting about it
Until someone walks across that line

Smile

Smile
Light up the sky with your eyes
Don’t let the world pass you by
Even if you have to try
Live
Laugh at the things that go wrong
Even if you must be strong
Know that you always belong
If you give me your hand, I’ll take you home
For there isn’t a moment when you’re alone…
Dance
For all of the plans that we made
And know that the darkness will fade
There isn’t a moment to waste
Love
Is if you could never be hurt
Even when facing the worst
And know that it’s needed the most
If you still need a reason to let things go
I’ll give you the answer and then you’ll know…
Smile
Light up the sky with your eyes
Don’t let the world pass you by
Even if you have to try

Tainted Flowers
03:31
|
|||
Well maybe I’m the bad guy here
But maybe things are so unclear
That thoughts get twisted up inside the places that you like to hide
And even though it makes no sense
You go and build another fence
Another obstacle to face
A memory that you can’t erase
Well maybe you’re right – Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe it’s time we move along
Well as for me there’s just one girl
I’ve wanted in this great big world
Now I can see so much potential draining like its expediential
You lie awake in bed each night
Just building up the kryptonite that takes away my super powers
Then claim I send you tainted flowers
Well maybe you’re right – Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe we’re playing different songs
Well maybe you’re right – Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe it’s time we move along
I don’t know why it’s so uncool
And why I have to play the fool
When I’m the one who wants to stay when you just want to turn away
And though you say it’s no big deal
It doesn’t change the way I feel
The seconds turning into hours and all I send is tainted flowers
Well maybe you’re right – Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe it’s time we move along

Raining Colors
03:34
|

Drops of red, drops of green
These yellow eyes have never seen
Drops of purple, drops of pink
It’s just enough to make you think
Drops of crimson, drops of gold
These youthful mind was once so old
Drops of orange, drops of brown
There’s nothing in to keep you down
It’s raining colors everywhere…
It’s raining colors everywhere… So come out and play…
Drops of aqua, drops of grey
Come again some other day
Drops of dark and drops of light
To wash away the black and white
It’s raining colors everywhere…
It’s raining colors everywhere…
It’s raining colors everywhere…
It’s raining colors everywhere… So come out and play…
Drops of silver, drops of blue
For all the things we didn’t do
Drops of tan and drops of teal
The very thought is so surreal
So surreal
So surreal
So surreal

Anyway
02:32
|
|||
Yours is a common story
It’s happening every day
Nothings is so disgraceful
Nothing you can’t erase
No situation left here for all the world to hold
Time is the classic healer and everything’s growing old
So long to the circles that went around your mind
Those thoughts that once controlled you
Things you may have left behind…
No matter what’s been done through all those words they say
No matter who you were
I will love you anyway
Everyone has their shadows and clouds hanging overhead
Everyone has a secret hiding in some book they read
So long to the circles that went around your mind
Those thoughts that once controlled you
Things you may have left behind…
No matter what’s been done through all those words they say
No matter who you were
I will love you anyway

As Long As I Live
03:34
|
|||
Sometimes I do things that I don’t understand
And sometimes I’m not quite myself
And somehow I let things slip right through my hands
I see it was all a mistake
I thought that your heart wouldn’t break
I love you so much and I’m feeling so lonely
I cry every night as I sit by the phone
I’ll never replace what I see as the only thing I’ve ever know
Sometimes I lie in bed and just stare at the wall
And think how unhappy I was till I met you
And somehow, late the other night, I made myself such a fool
To think that your heart wouldn’t break
I see it was all a mistake…
I love you so much and I’m giving so little
We both know that feelings are so hard to give
I promise I’ll always be standing beside you as long as I live
As long as I live…
I love you so much and I’m feeling so lonely
I cry every night as I sit by the phone
I’ll never replace what I see as the only thing I’ve ever know
I love you so much and I’m giving so little
We both know that feelings are so hard to give
I promise I’ll always be standing beside you as long as I live
As long as I live…
As long as I live…
As long as I live…
Long…

Laugh With Me
03:08
|
|||
Somehow we lost you
Somehow you tried to disappear
But you’re still here
My heart is resisting the thought that you may have moved on
But you’re not gone
And thought you left us you have not gone far
You’re every note I play on my guitar
Still when I think of all the moments passed
I close my eyes and I can hear you laugh with me
Laugh with me
Sometimes I call you
Sometimes I’m speaking to thin air
But I feel you there
My mind is insisting
That I accept what we should know
But I can’t let go
Although the days will come and fade away
There is a presence that will always stay
And when it seems you took a different path
I close my eyes and I can hear you laugh with me
Laugh with me…
I think about the things we used to do
And how it all came back to me and you
I guess you had to set your spirit free
So I will close my eyes and you will laugh with me…
Laugh with me…
Somehow we lost you…

Arapaho
02:42
|
|||
Yeah I’m gonna wear my pain like it’s war paint
Yeah I’m gonna face this day loud and brave
Thunder and lightning that they will remember
From this moment through the rest of their days
So they want to change our ways in the heartland
Then they want to take our lives on the plains
We drown in cries where no one surrenders
Even if only an echo remains…
We call upon the one great spirit who lives up where the eagles fly
Fill us all with strength and courage to live the truth or fight and die
Faith seems to pierce my heart like an arrow
And cover doubt wherever it lays
The spirit has always been there deep within me
From my birth throughout the rest of my days…

Time is moving slowly
Set as you want it to be
Waiting for resistance from the other side of the sea
Sad that there’s a problem
Sad that they never agree
Always it’s a problem on the other side of the sea
What if it rains on the parade?
Will the sky fall down?
And what if the pain, in aftermath, won’t subside, leaving us to drown?
What if it rains on the parade?
Will the ground fall out?
And what if the strain, the severed ties, washed away all we’re all about?
So we move in slowly
Holding so they never break free
Still the bombs are falling on the other side of the sea…

She's Having An Affair
04:01
|
|||
She told me that she plans to go and help an old friend feeling low
It’s really not her cross to bear
It’s like she’s having an affair…
I see the distance in her eyes
The kind of look that I despise
Somehow I’m not supposed to care
It’s like she’s having an affair…
I don’t know what this may invite
Cause something here just isn’t right
From where I stand it isn’t fair
It’s like she’s having an affair…
I see the smile upon her face as she talks about some other place
I don’t remember being there
I think she’s having an affair…
