Still Alright

When everything you have goes away
You realize that nothing means a thing

Everything you thought was a big deal
Now you see it all and what is real

When all you have just falls apart
And nothing seems to work out right
And you’re trying

You’re still alright

When everything starts to feel the same
And everyone around you seems to change

You went along with me when things weren’t right
And when the morning slowly fades to night

When all you have just falls apart
And nothing seems to work out right
And you’re trying

You’re still alright

Everything Has Changed

You turn me on
And you turn me down
You pick me up
When I’m on the ground

You tune me in
And you tune me out
What was then
Is not now

Lonely days and winter skies
Melts away into summertime
And it’s alright
Yeah it’s ok
When everyone and everything has changed

You give it up
You run around
When you try to stop
You just fall down

You put it in
And you pull it out
What you did last night
You lost somehow

You kill the lights
You see them run
They try to hide
And see no one

You got too close
You saw the lie
It could not wait
You had no where to go

This Is How You Are

Soon he’s on his way
Soon he’s on his way
And the doctor told me I should know
There’s something that has caused this to happen
All the days and all our nights
Waiting for his eyes to open

Soon he’s on his way
Soon he’s on his way
And it cuts into you like a knife
It tears you up and leaves you on the table
And all this time we felt the life
You take it from us all the while

Here’s to you and to all who’s forgiven
You take another life
We’re too far and he will not listen
This is how you are

Soon we’ll run away
Soon we’ll run away
When you feel like this and no one knows
You try to walk but you just can’t go
I hear him cry, I can’t sleep at night
You help me but I can’t let go

God help me so
God help me so
Well I thought that I was good enough
I guess I wasn’t rightfully so

Summer's Almost Gone

Someone has taken a while
It’s just another day
Whenever we get to talking
You turn the other way

Why do I feel this way
Like it’s the end
I’m sick of wasting time

One day you’ll find out
Summer’s almost gone again
You wake up and turn around
You tear it up and put it down

You told me what they said
And I know what they see
It’s alright
It’s over
It’s getting old to me

Why do I feel this way
Like it’s the end
I’m sick of wasting time

One day you’ll find out
Summer’s almost gone again
You wake up and turn around
You tear it up and put it down

When something’s wrong you know who did it
You look inside to see

One day you’ll find out
Summer’s almost gone again
You wake up and turn around
You tear it up and put it down

Falling

I pay no mind to what’s outside
I heard it raining on Sunday
There’s no harm in how I feel
You went away far too soon

I went to look what was on TV
I sat and stared in the corner
All this time that has passed us by
Never knew we were wasting time

I’m falling
I’ve fallen for you
I’m falling
Fallen for you

I took a walk and I sang a tune
I’m out of breath and I’m fading
I went to rest in the shady park
The colors changed in the afternoon

I’m falling
I’ve fallen for you
I’m falling
Fallen for you

The stars came out and the moon is high
I was thinking bout you all last night
And in the morning the sun will shine
And in the afternoon the clouds roll by

I’m falling
I’ve fallen for you
I’m falling
Fallen for you

Steal You Away

I saw you talking with him yesterday
Well he’s no Mr. Right I gotta say
It’s time to end it with him
Well I am here to change things
And take you away

I’ll steal you away from your love

You break it off with him
And then you’re back
You are like a junky smoking crack
When I catch you staring at me
And I saw your caller ID
The other day

I’ll steal you away from your love

You’re too weak
To make a move on me
Now it’s time for you to know

I’ll steal you away from your love

Closer To You

Slow down
I hear you calling me
I saw you go down
It’s how this had to be

Come out
I need you here with me
I had to hold out
Just to watch you leave

Since you’ve been gone
My life has been
Lonely without you now
I’m running in circles

The lights go out
I’m starting to learn
The fire goes up
It’s starting to burn
But I don’t mind it
I’m closer to you

Somehow
We made it here this far
But now I’m all out
I wonder where you are

It’s cold out
I feel you next to me
You know I sold out
Just to hear you breathe

Every day I wake up
And it’s raining outside
I could see every drop
I could watch it fall all day long
I don’t want it to stop

Please Come With Me

If only I can say it I would try
When all the stars light up in the dark sky
We can watch the waters rolling down
As it breaks so quietly

Please come with me

And you make things right when it’s all wrong
When I am all alone you sing a song
And we watch the sun as it goes down
As it shines on everything

Please come with me

When the day is almost over
And your work is done
I’ll be waiting right here for you
Telling everyone

Please come with me

Our Love Is True

You came to me in the middle of the nighttime
I heard you knockin on my window
You smiled at me and asked me how have I been
I opened up the door and let you in

And I knew
This conversation was through
We held each other all through the night

And it’s true
Our love is true
Our love is true
Baby and I love you

We took a walk in the midday sunshine
We saw the snow on the mountaintop
We talked for hours until the sky turned black
We turned around and we headed on back

And I knew
That you were feeling it too
And you would stay here with me tonight

And it’s true
Our love is true
Our love is true
Baby and I love you

I don’t know how I lived before without you
I could not sleep at night till I saw you

And I knew
What you wanted to do
We laughed about it all through the night

Don't Cry

It’s two in the morning
You can’t fall asleep
You can’t stop your mind
And you’re feeling so weak

You toss and you turn
And you can’t get it out of your head

You put on your coat
And you’re standing outside
You hear the wind blowing
All through the night

You think that it’s all your fault
Trying to push it away

Don’t cry
Just close your eyes
Everything is gonna be alright

Don’t cry
I want you to know
Everything is gonna be alright

Sometimes you wonder
What’s holding you down
You get in your car
And you’re driving around

You’re caught in the middle
There’s no use in running away

Don’t cry
Just close your eyes
Everything is gonna be alright

Don’t cry
I want you to know
Everything is gonna be alright

Slips Into The Air

I get no sun in this grey garden
The colors seem to wash away
All of the days forgotten
Where has the comfort gone

Falling into nothing
You try to send me something
But it gets lost and floats somewhere
If only I could reach you
My mind can slowly read you
But it just slips into the air

We sit here waiting in this garden
The wind is cold the trees are bare
Got to hold on to something
Cause if he sees us here

Falling into nothing
You try to send me something
But it gets lost and floats somewhere
If only I could reach you
My mind can slowly read you
But it just slips into the air

Start Over Again

They’re coming for me
They’ve opened my heart
Soon we’ll be gone
To cover this up

And I will run off
And start it again
Until we run out
Soon we’ll be out

We got to start over again

And time will not stop
I’m on it again
I need to lay down
They’re coming around

We got to start over again
We got to start over again

Open your eyes
And see what’s outside
You say we’re alright
It’s over for now

We got to start over again
We got to start over again

Fallen For You

Do you remember back when we were standing still
And all we had were holes we couldn’t fill
All those days are over now
Hiding from the sun away from everyone

I’m telling the world I’ve fallen for you
I’ve made up my mind
I know it for sure
I’ve fallen for you

You called me when you were on my mind
I couldn’t speak and words were hard to find
All the things I couldn’t say in front of everyone
I’d turn my head and run

I’m telling the world I’ve fallen for you
I’ve made up my mind
I know it for sure
I’ve fallen for you

Every time you think it’s never ending
Close your eyes like you did before
After all we can’t go on pretending
That all this really matters anymore

I’m telling the world I’ve fallen for you
I’ve made up my mind
I know it for sure
I’ve fallen for you

Some Days

It was hard to say goodbye
Then you were calling me here
And I was certainly fooling myself

Some days you feel like
You’re coming down and there’s no escaping
Some days you feel like
You’re crashing down and your heart is breaking

You were moving slow
And I saw you smiling at me
And I was suddenly far from myself

Some days you feel like
You’re coming down and there’s no escaping
Some days you feel like
You’re crashing down and your heart is breaking

Time goes on

Some days you feel like
You’re coming down and there’s no escaping
Some days you feel like
You’re crashing down and your heart is breaking

I'll Be There

It’s too late for turning around now
We’re already miles away
You’re losing yourself
And you can’t find a reason to stay

You’re resting your head at the top of the stairs
Hoping that somebody sees

Come and take all of me
All for yourself
And when you’re down
I’ll be there

And when you’re far from me
See for yourself
Open your eyes
I’ll be there

There’s no place to go once you’re all out
You’re already so far away
You’re walking around for hours
Only to find no one there

You’re waiting around with your hands in your hair
Watching the lights in the street

And at the end of this story
When you’re left with nothing to say
And when you wake in the morning
If nothing is going your way
