Ready To Fall
03:06

Before you start the fire and open on my wasted heart
I guess I should warn you that I’ve been here before
Love’s no battlefield but I’ve had my share of injuries
And I don’t know how to make it other than going it alone
There’s still a lot for me to learn and I’ve messed up before
But if you put your trust in me, who knows where we could go?
I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall
Getting closer, I hear the beating of your heart
And the drumming scares me but I don’t want to know
How much I feel for you, no I don’t want to hurt you
Cause there’s always casualties for mistakes you make unknown
There’s still a lot for me to learn and I’ve messed up before
But suddenly you take my hand; it doesn’t matter anymore
I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now to face this climb
Guess I had to get there in my own sweet time
But fear won’t hold me back from you anymore
I’ll take down every wall I’ve built stone by stone
I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall

Tearing Me Down
03:41
|
|||
|
How can we fight when there ain’t nothing to fight for?
How can you say I do nothing? How could I do more?
You’re here with me but I feel like I’m on my own
Bitter words, they’re unspoken, but the blame’s left with me I know
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
What’s more to say? And how could I say more?
When we don’t even talk about anything anymore?
We’re getting by but that barely makes a life
I’m empty inside. There’s no more tears left to cry
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
And I’m tired of your lies, your hatred in disguise
Of a love that we once knew
And I was lost in the haze and I couldn’t walk away
But I’m leaving you this time it’s true
You’ve been tearing me down
There was a time when I loved you
Nobody else would do, yeah
Then came the thunder and the rain and the crashing of the waves
And we were drowning in all of our fears
And the world that we’ve got, well it don’t mean a lot
When you’ve lost all your hope and belief
Stop tearing me down. Oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
You’ve been tearing me down. Oh oh, oh oh oh
So I’m leaving you now

Separate Ways
03:52
|
|||
|
The days slipped by like hours and we were in a haze
And there never seemed to be enough of time
Every kiss you gave me took us away
To a place here that was only yours and mine
But I remember how you loved me
And all the plans we said that we were going to make
But somewhere just around the corner
Life was gonna go and steal you away
Now the bed is empty and time moves slow
And the days drag into long nights without you
And all at once we seem to fade away
And the memories get lost and torn in two
But I remember how you loved me
And I still feel you lingering on my lips
The taste of your mouth and the way you used to smile
Yes, I remember the rhythm of your kiss
I hope some day that we will meet again
And fall back together as old lovers often do
But there’s nothing to do right now but sit and wait
And hope that one day that all our dreams come true
‘Cause I know life for us, oh it’s crazy
And we’ve both been going in separate ways
But just know wherever your life may take you
I’ll wait right here, yes I’ll wait right here
Yes I’ll wait right here, right here
I’ll love you always, always
I’ll be loving you, always, always, always
I’ll be loving you always.

One Day Soon
03:39
|
|||
|
Dreaming through the long summer days
Hoping one day that we’d escape
We were gonna run far into the sun and burn away
But the days end and it’s all the same
I just wanted to go somewhere, where no one knew my name
And the trouble didn’t always fall on me like rain
But I’ve been running in circles, chasing all my clocks
Counting all my days down, hoping that it stops
And one day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon
Staring out over this town tonight
Well you told me time is just like the tide
Now you can’t make it change
Just let it wash away the empty days
But sometimes, yeah it all gets too much
And lately I feel I’m getting out of touch
I wish somehow I knew what the future held with you
And for us someday
But I’ve been running in circles, chasing all my clocks
Counting all my days down, hoping that it stops
And one day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon
And I’ve been running away from all my dreams
Lately I’m bursting apart at the seams
Won’t you help me find a way through?
‘Cause I’ve been running in circles, chasing all my clocks
Counting all my days down, hoping that it stops
And one day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon, might all make sense with you
One day soon, yeah, might all make sense with you
One day soon

Home
04:09
|

These old streets that I used to know
Where the leaves from the trees
Would crunch beneath my tired feet as I’d roam
And each step brings a memory that grows
Of a place that I knew
Where the wind always blew me along
Ooo, I’m home
Ooo, I’m home
And I’ve got worries, I’ve got troubles too
But each smoke filled breath in the air I know best
Calms these blues
Ooo, I’m home
Ooo, I’m home
All these people in the world I call my own
Wave in the street, smile back when we meet
Tell me I’ve grown
I’m home
I’m home

Morning Light
03:37
|
|||
|
Far away on a sunset dream
Floating out on an open sea
Everything looks so peaceful here tonight
In the calm there’s a peace I feel
But I’ve been holding out for something real
It’s just a while ‘til the storm comes raging back again
So won’t you sit a while and stay with me?
Everything’s better when you’re here with me
And I need some shelter from the world outside
Won’t you stay with me until the morning light?
Watching birds flying wild and free
Stranded and waiting on an open sea
I hope that someone is gonna come by here soon
But there’s no one here who can rescue me
Time to find a place that’s right for me
I think I might drop my anchor here for a while
So won’t you sit a while and stay with me?
Everything’s better when you’re here with me
And I need some shelter from the world outside
Won’t you stay with me until the morning light?
‘Cause I need some shelter from the storm outside
That’s been raging on and on
I need a place where I can belong
Far away on this open sea
It’s all laid out like a midnight dream
I wish you were here under the stars tonight
So won’t you sit a while and stay with me?
Everything’s better when you’re here with me
And I need some shelter from the world outside
Won’t you stay with me until the morning?
Lay with me until the morning?
Stay with me until the morning light

Hours To Waste
03:31
|
|||
|
So many hours to waste, to waste
In these long and lonesome days
Guess I’ll just sit here and wait for you
Didn’t think I’d miss anyone like I miss you
And in the night when my heart grows cold
Well, it’s you that I need to hold
That’s the time I need you most it’s true
Guess that I’ll just have to wait for you
I’m always wondering
What’s going through your mind
When you’re alone and you’re trying to waste your time
Just like I do, do, do
Just like I do
I wonder how you’re doing now you’re on your own?
How you feel, you’re so far from home
It won’t be long now we both say
But we know that it doesn’t always feel that way
I’m always wondering
What’s going through your mind
When you’re alone and you’re trying to waste your time
Just like I do, do, do
Just like I do

Wake Me
03:40
|
|||
|
Wake me in springtime
When the winter’s come and gone
The air is warm again
And I can hear birds singing songs
Wake me in the summer
When it’s time to feel the sun
There’s warmth on my skin that enters within
And calls out my fears to run
Well, I’m holding on for tomorrow
But tomorrow’s a day that’s always gone too soon
Yesterday holds nothing to cling to
There’s nothing left there but memories of you
Wake me in the evening
So I can watch the turning sky
And I’ll see the change and the dancing flames
Weave dreams upon my eyes
Wake me in the darkness
And I’ll face the ghosts long past
And my world will change, there’s light here again
And I’m at peace at last
Well, I’m holding on for tomorrow
But tomorrow’s a day that’s always gone too soon
Yesterday holds nothing to cling to
There’s nothing left there but memories of you
Well, I’m holding on for tomorrow
But tomorrow’s a day that’s always gone too soon
Yesterday holds nothing to cling to
There’s nothing left there but memories of you

The Last One
03:13
|

Why don’t you realise there’s only so much I can do
If you won’t love yourself the way that I love you?
Please try and understand there’s no need to hide
Feel the warmth of my fingertips and take my lonely hand
You don’t have to be afraid, I’m here, just understand
That you could be my last love, the one for all time
Take off your mask and show me your life
Sing to me softly and hear my soul sigh
And see the way that you make me feel
Slow the long hours; take all my time
Everything you have I want to be mine
Please be the last one to stand at my side
Put faith in my love for you and ease your worried mind
It’s not gonna be easy but I’m here for the ride
There’s no running away from this now you’re in my life
Let down your guard and drop all your pride
Show me yourself and tell me no lies
Open your heart and let love in
Let it all go; your heart will unwind
And wash away all the trouble that binds
I’ll be the last one to stand at your side
Just try and understand that there’s nothing we can’t face
You can have everything; oh it’s all yours to take
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you in my arms
Please just realise, that we’re good for each other
Now that I’ve found you I don’t ever want another
You could be my last love, the one for all time
You could be my last love, the one for all time

Light of Dawn
03:36
|
|||
|
I forgot the sound of sadness
‘Til the silence of the night
Brought out all the fears I’d hidden
Somewhere in between the new day’s light
Though I found it hard to stay here
My life’s colours had began to run
And I couldn’t make you wait here
When my mind was becoming undone, oh no
But in the morning’s shadow
I saw clearly when the new day’s light
Began to fill the day that was dawning
With love and hope and majesty and might
That much as I was trying
I couldn’t be the one that you need
‘Cause we were sleeping in the same bed
But we were lying, our hearts gone from our sleeves, oh no
Now we’re tired and we’re breaking
Like a tree grown old in time
Whose branches have been clinging
To the last days of their life
And the days have grown so long here
But our love’s still falling short
So I must be on my way from here
Before the light of dawn

Lullaby
03:10
|
|||
|
Don’t you worry, don’t you cry
It’s just the changing of the tide
Moving fast now before our eyes
So much happening in your life
Don’t you worry, don’t be blue
Hold my hand, yes I’ll look after you
Take a breath now; close your eyes
And I’ll sing you a lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, ooo
While there’s stars in the sky
I’ll always be there by your side
Take a breath now; close your eyes
And I’ll sing you a lullaby
Can’t give you anything but the truth
Of a song that was made just for you
So listen good now; close your eyes
And I’ll sing you a lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby, ooo
Oh I’ll sing you a lullaby

Goodnight
03:02
|
|||
|
You’ve got it all boy, have nothing to need
Yet you find yourself hungered by an all consuming greed
For a love that won’t linger and a glance that won’t last
Now you’re smoking up, drinking up, tired of your life gone too fast
If you burn out too quickly, well you’re sure gonna fall
But how can you see that when the world around you is so small?
You’re a thief in the night boy, who stole too much from life
And how, how can I make this right?
How can I save that young heart? That brilliant young mind?
Please now, please don’t you go now before your time
You’re burning all of your bridges and you’ve flown too close to the sun
Now it’s too late your wings are on fire and the damage is done
You’ve burnt out too quickly and the poetry’s dead
Lost between the void of your heart and your soul and your head
You just kept on trying; you were always blazing through life
‘Til heaven took you, adieu my friend, goodnight
Well they say that some people, they just burn too bright
Adieu my friend, adieu, goodnight
