World In Front Of Me

Hear your breath beside me in my bed
All the sheets are tangled in my legs
And as I stretch
The sun falls on me
A gentle way to say-- It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up

To the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me

Start your day with coffee, mine with tea
Humming with my guitar as you read
I write a song
The words all find me
Assembling into this picture of things
With all that they bring

To the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me

It's the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me





In Your Arms

Hush now, let's go quiet to the park where it first started
Cold night, us lying in the dark
I felt my heart was trying to find a place for you to stay
A place where I'd feel safe

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Take my hand, let's go into the trees
Behind the branches, falling on our knees
I remember feeling like this part of us would never change

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten

In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Follow me
We both know the way
It's always been the same

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay



Strong Enough lyrics

Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I'm feeling an echo inside my chest,
I've a heart beating impatiently long,
Waiting for the other half of it's song
It's song

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying at inconsistencies,
As you fall uneasily to your knees, your knees

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

And I'm not blind to what you're doing here
Make me feel like I'm special,
But my dear, I have seen through a weakness in your eyes
You don't know it, but you're telling me lies,
Me lies

And you will soon awake to see
There is no heart in anything you say to me
We thought we'd found a harmony, a perfect match of melodies
No, But if you listen closely now, I've been singing all alone

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough





Valentine lyrics

Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse to put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse to put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine




Together

One time I dreamt an unknown land
With jungle trees and the blackest sand
Had taken us as prisoners in the night

Upon its shore we could not sleep
Instead we stayed awake to keep
Our minds off hidden monsters and the like

So hour by hour we passed the time
We watched a motion picture in the sky
You were the clouds and I was the moon

You and me, together, together, together

Then waves came crashing down on me
And they tried to take me out to sea
You fought them off so gallantly and won

Now back again upon our shore
Well we really wanted nothing more
Than to hold each other 'til our arms grew tired

So slowly like a timid flower
The sun rose up at just the hour
When we had slowly slipped out of my dream

You and me, together, together, together
You and me, together, together, together
Together is all we need




The Goldfish Song

I feel defeated again
I'm always losing to myself
I tried to build a better me
Shack to castle
And it fell down

I had the right intentions
Sometimes my hope envelops me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to the sea

This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine

I know what you've been thinking
It's too soon to empty my cocoon
This butterfly's not ready but
Wouldn't she know better than you

This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine

I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not gonna give it up

This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine




Heart And Mind

I write you letters from right to left
See if you have desire yet
To decipher what I said
And learn secrets from my head

And It was hard for me to say
Those three words that are so brave
I almost kept them locked away
Deep inside where they'd be safe

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide

Always felt I was protecting my
Heart and mind, heart and mind
But it seems like, to really feel alive
I cannot hide my heart and mind

I don't know why I get shy
Tucked away inside my mind
Scared to let someone inside
I sit silent in disguise

Always trying to find
A safer place to hide

Always felt I was protecting my
Heart and mind, heart and mind
But it seems like, to really feel alive
I cannot hide my heart and mind

One day I found a strength inside me
Just by finally realizing
There is a truth that is inside
That I really cannot hide
My heart and mind

Always felt I was protecting my
Heart and mind, heart and mind
But it seems like, to really feel alive
I cannot hide my heart and mind





Cambridge

Just give it to me quick
Are you coming home?
Don't dance around it

I need to hear this
I chose you long ago
Have you chosen me yet?

'Cause I'm starting to wear thin
And find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to finally say
That you're here and here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
Is it time to let go of you?

Now please don't take this wrong
You know I want you
But don't think I won't move on

'Cause I'm starting to wear thin
And find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to finally say
That you're here and here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
Is it time to let go of

You once whispered words to me
Wondering if anybody loved each other like we do

I'm waiting for you to finally say
That you're here and here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
Is it time to let go of you?





Stars Falling Down lyrics

I think that the stars would have waited for us
Hanging onto the night, watching down below
Until we were hand in hand, together waiting for them
So when I open my eyes, I saw it too
Stars falling down, when I fell for you

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do

I think that the clouds like the laughter around us
Wanting to feel the warmth, they're softly sinking down
Until they cover the streets just like a dreamland
And right above us, they part so that I see through
Stars falling down, and I fall for you

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do

I love you, I love you





Back To Us lyrics

all the birds are singing in the whisper winds
everybody's listening
and the sun is shining like today wont end
nothing here is missing

looking over looking under looking through
what we find every time we do what we do

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us

we carve into the tree our history of love
with dreams of ever after
we can sit beneath the bows and trace the lines
that add another chapter


looking outside looking inside looking away
what we find each and every time you say that you'll stay

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us

in the evening when we turn in
will you look back with me?

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us





Delicate lyrics

you said, "be careful, it's delicate
things can just crumble apart."
but it's not the same for me
it's not the same for me

so i kept treading so carelessly
thin lines that splintered my ground
but i closed my eyes to them
i closed my eyes to them

how did you know that i couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be
and how did you know that i wouldn't see when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me

one day i woke in the rubble
knee-deep in damage i'd done
and i was ashamed of it
how did it come to this?

how did you know that i couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be
and how did you know that i wouldn't see when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me

how did you know that i couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be
and how did you know that i wouldn't see when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me





Message From Your Heart

Don't break me I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery
I am steady beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly
My rhythm soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows while you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Every time you sleep
Every time you eat
Every time you laugh
Every time you cry
Every time you love

This is a message from your heart







Stay Just A Little lyrics

I heard it in your voice when your love died
On a telephone connection stretching miles and miles of wire
You said it was over and then cried and cried
You were gone before I said goodbye

I don't like to think it is true
That distance came between us like a knife and cut right through
Where did we go wrong and let it all undo?
The only one I ever loved was you.

Would you stay just a little, my love?
Would you sway just a little my love?
Because the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
If you stay just a little, that's enough.

It kills me as I lay awake at night
Remembering the last kiss that we shared doesn't feel right
Is it impossible for me to win this fight
Keep you a little longer in my life?

Would you stay just a little, my love?
Would you sway just a little my love?
Because the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
If you stay just a little, that's enough.



Mr. Sun

The springtime brings out the brightest green in things
And tiny sprouts push the soil from their way
Mr. Sun, please don't go away

'Cause the winter saddened all the flowers
And the oceans turned to gray
And the sky cried down for days and days
Mr. Sun, please don't go away

The birds and bees all sing happy things as they fly into the sky
And lonely trees will grow families in their leaves
Mr. Sun, stay here won't you please

'Cause the winter saddened all the flowers
And the oceans turned to gray
And the sky cried down for days and days
Mr. Sun, please don't go away
