affirmation
Hold
Me
I
Knew I Loved You
the
best thing
crash
and burn
chained
to you
The
Animal Song
the
lover after me
two
beds and a coffee machine
you
can still be free
gunning
down romance
I
don't know you anymore
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 good-bye
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 good-bye
repeat
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
BACK
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've found my best friend
I
know that it might sound more than
a
little crazy but I believe
chorus:
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
this sense of completion
and
in your eyes
I
see the missing pieces
I'm
searching for
I
think I found my way home
I
know that it might sound more than
a
little crazy but I believe
[repeat chorus]
A thousand
angels dance around you
I
am complete now that I found you
[repeat chorus to fade]
Sometimes
I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck
in a maze searching for a way to
Shut
down turn 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 good-bye 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?
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 the 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
And
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
BACK
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 you all the time
And
I think about you all the time
Yeah
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
I've
been having 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 to fade]
BACK
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 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
and
there are children to think of
baby's
asleep in the back seat
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
there's
hope in the darkness
I
know you're gonna 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
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 the mountain tops
And
go high like the wind don't stop
And
go high
Free
to fly tonight
Free
to fly tonight
Love
and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're
morphine
Cleverly
concealing primal urges often felt but 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
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
Springtime
in the city
Always
such relief from the winter freeze
The
snow was more lonely than cold
If
you know what I mean
Everyone's
got an agenda, don't stop
Keep
that chin up, you'll be all right
Can
you believe what a year it's been
Are
you still the same?
Has
your opinion changed?
'Cause
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 these sentences
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
