LYRICS

CRUSH

I hung up the phone tonight, something happened for
the first time, deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same
way about me
It’s just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth,
all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized,
and I just got to know

Chorus:
Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I’m tryin, tryin to walk away
Bujt I know this crush ain’t goin away, goin away

Has it ever crossed your mind when we;re hangin,
spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take, cause I believe that
we can make this into something that will last,
last forever, forever

Chorus

Bridge:
Why do I keep running from the truth,
all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized,
and I just got to know

Chorus

TOUCH MY HAND

Saw you from a distance
Saw you from the stage
Something bout the look in your eyes
Something bout your beautiful face
In a sea of people
There was only you
I never knew what this song was about
But suddenly now I do

Pre-Hook:
Try to reach out to you touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me only you and the band
Try to reach out to you touch my hand

Chorus:
Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cuz if I do it’ll all be over and I’ll never see you again

Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cuz if I do it’ll all be over
I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

I see the sparkle of a million flashlights
A wonderwall of stars
But the one that’s shining out so bright
Is the one right where you are

Pre-Hook

Chorus

Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cuz if I do it’ll all be over
I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Bridge:
Saw you from a distance
Saw you from the stage
Something bout the look in your eyes
Something bout your beautiful face

Chorus

Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cuz if I do it’ll all be over
I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Pre-Hook/Ending:
Try to reach out to you touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me only you and the band
Try to reach out to you touch my hand

BARRIERS

(Hey…)

(Mmmmm…)

Well I don’t know how to say this right
And the words got me choking
I keep hitting this wall, it’s never gonna fall
And we’re still broken
This mountain we’ve been trying to climb
It’s never ending

Just can’t do nothing, gotta do something
Cuz if we don’t open our eyes, we’re just pretending

Well there’s a time for giving up
Didn’t wanna have to say it
All we’re doing is building walls
And now there’s too many barriers

Chorus:
Here we are, lying here
It’s our last final good night
Just because it feels so good
No use pretending we’re alright
Too many locks
Too many cries
Too many tears
Too many lies
Too many barriers
Just too many barriers

Now we’ve been dragging this whole thing out
But I can’t wait any longer
Our loves burning down, creepin in the doubt
We’re not getting any stronger
I hear you say that we’re doing okay
But baby I don’t think so

Just can’t do nothing, gotta do something
Cuz if I don’t get into my car, I won’t go very far

Well there’s a time for giving up
Didn’t wanna have to say it
All we’re doing is building walls
And now there’s too many barriers

Chorus

That we keep running into
Been trying but we just can’t break through
I know I’m gonna keep wishing I was with you
Be we just gotta stop

Chorus

In a hurry to get somewhere
And the world’s tryin to block ya, block ya
And you feel like you’re nowhere
Cuz the world’s tryin to stop ya, stop ya

MY HANDS

Accidentally on purpose I dropped my watch behind the
tire
Put my alarm clock inside the fireplace
Yeah, and I put the parental control on the news and
the weather channel
I’m outside in my robe, I’m lookin for you

If everything stopped I’d listen for your heart to lead
me right to you yeah
I tried everyway I can, but it’s hard to hold on

Chorus:
To your hands, in the hands of time I need a hand,
girl I’m tryin to hold on
Losing strength, in these hands of mine,
I need you here I’m tryin to hold on
I’m standing here, open hands,
and I know I can’t do this alone,
Hold on, Hold on
Baby hold on, hold on to my hands,
don’t let go of my hands
Don’t let go

I don’t think this is working,
reaching so hard my hands are hurting
How’d I let go in the first place, yeah
And I put the phone on the front lawn,
everything that shows time is gone
I’m outside in this cold, still lookin for you

If everything stopped I’d listen for your heart to lead
me right to you yeah
I tried everyway I can, but it’s hard to hold on

Chorus

A LITTLE TOO NOT OVER YOU

You never cross my mind at all
That’s what I tell myself
What we had has come and gone
You’re better off with someone else
It’s for the best I know it is

But I see you
Sometimes I try to hide what I feel inside
And I turn around you’re with him now
I just can’t figure it out

Tell me why it’s so hard to forget
So remind me, I’m not over it
Tell me why I can’t seem to face the truth
I’m just a little too not over you
Not over you

Memories supposed to fade,
What’s wrong with my heart
Shake it off, let it go,
Didn’t think it’d be this hard
Should be strong, moving on

But I see you
Sometimes I try to hide what I feel inside
And I turn around you’re with him now
I just can’t figure it out

Tell me why it’s so hard to forget
So remind me, I’m not over it
Tell me why I can’t seem to face the truth
I’m just a little too not over you

Maybe I regret, everything I said
No way to take it all back
Now I’m on my own how I let you go
I’ll never understand, I’ll never understand, yeah

Tell me why it’s so hard to forget
So remind me, I’m not over it
Tell me why I can’t seem to face the truth
I’m just a little too not over you

Tell me why it’s so hard to forget
So remind me, I’m not over it
Tell me why I can’t seem to face the truth
I’m just a little too not over you

Not over you

YOU CAN

(Mmmmm…)

Take me where I’ve never been
Help me on my feet again
Show me that good things come to those who wait
Tell me I’m not on my own
Tell me I won’t be alone
Tell me what I’m feeling isn’t some mistake
Cuz if anyone can make me fall in love
You can

Save me from myself, you can
And it’s you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I just pretend
Cuz if anyone can make me fall in love
You can

Baby when you look at me
Tell me what do you see
Are these the eyes of someone you could love
Cuz everything that brought me here
Well now it all seems so clear
Baby you’re the one that I’ve been dreaming of
If anyone can make me fall in love
You can

Save me from myself, you can
And it’s you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I just pretend
Cuz if anyone can make me fall in love
You can

Only you can take me
Sialing in your deepest eyes
Bring me to my knees and make me cry
And no one’s ever done this
Everything was just a lie
And I know
Yes I know

This is where it all begins
So tell me it’ll never end
I can’t fool myself
It’s you and no one else

If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight will never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I just pretend
Cuz if anyone can make me fall in love
You can

Show me that good things come to those who wait

RUNNING

Mafia…

Words keep
Fallin’ out of my pocket
Running late
Missed the train
Everything is dropping
Holding on, to my heart, in a rush I
Almost forgot it
I must admit it, I’m tired
But I’m coming to you
Don’t know how far I’ve got
But I don’t care, I’m not gonna

Stop runnin’
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothin’
I know you’re somewhere runnin’ straight to me
Don’t stop runnin’
Don’t stop

Keep on runnin’
Don’t stop
Keep on runnin’…

Let’s keep
Giving out
Breaking down
I’m falling
Head keeps telling me, this can’t be worth all of this
Holding on to my heart, feel the rush
I’m ready to run forever
I’m holding it together
‘Cause I’m coming to you
I don’t know how far I’ve got but I don’t care
I’m not gonna

Stop runnin’
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothin’
I know you’re somewhere runnin’ straight to me
Don’t stop runnin’
Don’t stop

I got my good shoes
I got my winning, girl, I’m focused
And I’m ’bout to navigate straight to you
And nothing’s gonna stop me, girl
To keep me from comin’
‘Cause I got to have every part of you forever

I’m runnin’, runnin’
Keep runnin’, runnin’
Keep runnin’
Keep runnin’

Stop runnin’
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothing
I know you’re somewhere running straight to me
Don’t stop runnin’
Don’t stop runnin’

‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothin’
I know you’re somewhere runnin’ straight to me
Don’t stop runnin’

Don’t stop running

DESPERATE

You’re reaching out, and no one hears, you cry
You’re freakin out again
Cause all your fears remind you another dream has
come undone
You feel so small and lost like you’re the only one
You wanna scream cause you’re so desperate

Chorus:
You want somebody,
just anybody to lay their hands on your soul tonight
You wanna reason to keep believin that someday you’re
gonna see the light

You’re in the dark, there’s no one left, to call
And sleep’s your only friend
But even sleep can’t hide you from all those tears all the
pain, all those years you wasted Pushing them away
It’s your life, it’s time you face it

Chorus

Bridge:
Cause you’re desperate, desperate
Cause you’re desperate, now

You know that things have gotten changed
You can’t go back, you find your life
Day by day you start to come alive

You want somebody,
just anybody to bring some peace to your soul tonight
You wanna reason to keep believin that someday you’re
gonna see the light

You want somebody,
just anybody to lay their hands on your soul tonight
You wanna reason to keep believin that someday you’re
gonna see the light

Cause you’re desperate, oh
Cause you’re desperate tonight
Oh desperate, yeah
So desperate tonight, tonight

TO BE WITH YOU

I’ve been alone so many nights now
And I’ve been waiting for the stars to fall
I keep holding out for what I don’t know
To be with you
Just to be with you

So here I am staring at the moon tonight
Wondering how you look in this light
Maybe you’re somewhere thinking about me too
To be with you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do

And I can’t imagine
Two worlds spinning apart
Come together eventually

And when we finally meet
I’ll know it’s right
I’ll be at the end of my recess road
But this journey, it was worth the fight
To be with you
Just to be

Holding you for the very first time
Never letting go
What I wouldn’t give to feel that way

Oooo…

Oh to be with you
Ooh…
And I can’t imagine
Two worlds spinning apart
Come together eventually

And when you’re standing here in front of me
That’s when I know that god does exist
Cuz he will have answered every single prayer
To be with you
Just to be with you
Yeah…

You…

DON’T LET GO

I know that look in your eyes
I don’t wanna say good night
Do anything to change your mind
Tryin to make you see the light

You turn your back and still I say
Anything to make you stay
Put up walls made of heartbreak
Trying to hide your love away

I’m standing here, you’re giving me nothing
Trying to feel your heartbeat through the door

Chorus:
Hold on
Hold on
Cuz what I’m doing
It’s so strong
So strong
What I’m feeling is too much
Too much
Too much
Oh Oh Oh…
Don’t let go
Don’t let go

There’s something that you’re going through
Wish that I could fix for you
You don’t have to be alone
I don’t wanna let you go

I’m standing here, you’re giving me nothing
Trying to heal your heartbreak through the door
Call it love
Call it what you want to
It’s the only thing that matters anymore

Chorus

Oh…

Some days are cold
But together
One day we’ll both
Change the weather
And it gets better

Oooo…

Chorus

Don’t let go
Ooo…

YOUR EYES DON’T LIE

I saw you yesterday,
It’s been a while
You tried but failed
At holdin’ back your smile right then
It’s not over yet, I knew, for you

(You see)
I couldn’t sleep
I thought of nothin’ else
I needed help
Everyone was tellin’ me
You were movin’ on with someone else
But what we had was so special
People can be jealous, oh
I had to see it for myself

I can see it in your eyes
You feel the same about us as I
There is no way the truth can be disguised
You’re still in love with me
You were never really out of love with me
Your eyes don’t lie

I know I hurt ya,
I know you are hurtin’ still (mmm, yeah)
But I’ll make it up to you
Yeah, baby, I will
‘Cause what we had was so special
You know we can’t give it up
Now that I’m lookin’ at you
I can see

I can see it in your eyes (your eyes)
You feel the same about us as I
There is no way (there is no way) the truth can be disguised
You’re still in love with me
You were never really out of love with me
Your eyes don’t lie
And they never will, girl

Oh, now that I know
We were apart but your heart never let go
So thank you for showin’ me with one look
What used to be, and still is, a possibility

I can see it in your eyes
You feel the same about us as I
There is no way the truth can be disguised
You’re still in love with me
You were never really out of love with me
Your eyes don’t lie
Your eyes don’t lie

ANGELS

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
Cuz I’ve been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

Chorus:
And through it all she offers me perception
A lot of love and protection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling week
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

Chorus

WORKS FOR ME

No I won’t make up my mind
I’m too good at wastin’ time
And I know that life is unpredictable
Just never know what I will find

Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don’t think so
I guess I can define me as that kinda guy
Maybe it’s a big mistake
But baby that’s the chance that I’ll take

Chorus:
You say I don’t know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine
If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me

I can’t forget the things you said
Your words keep running through my head
And I know you’re just trying to help me out
Thanks, but I’ll follow my heart instead

Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don’t think so
I can’t decide between the left side or the right
Maybe it’s a big mistake
But baby that’s the chance that I’ll take, Oh Yeah!

Chorus

Bridge:
There were days when a song could not be found
There were days when my voice would make no sound
for me, for me
But I don’t worry about it where I’m goin’
Cause I know just where I wanna be
And it’s time for you to see

Chorus

WAITING FOR YESTERDAY

You and me, all alone girl
What’s going on?
Will you tell me what’s wrong?
It’s like you’re locked up
in your own world
Oh, with nothin’ to say

You keep me guessing,
But I see in your eyes
He made you promises,
But gave you lies
You’re shutting down
Because you’re so sure
That I’ll be another mistake

Chorus:
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh, whatever it takes
You think history is repeated
You keep on pushing me away
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change
Waiting for yesterday

Is it worth it any longer?
So scared of falling again.
But yesterday can make it stronger
So why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better
than he ever did
And this could be, all you ever needed
Hold onto me and just remember
Oh, no, never let go

Chorus

I’m the one for you tonight
I’m the one for you forever
If it takes a little time,
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
I’m the one for you tonight
I’m the one for you forever
If it takes a little time,
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes

Chorus x2

FALLING

Feels like my life’s been passing by
With happiness just bein’ a lie
How did I get here, where am I going?
One more day without knowing
Struggling for one more breath
As I’m drowning in a painful death
Can someone reach out for me?
In this dark and dreary sea

‘Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that’s calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
‘Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

In my isolating misery
I feel like the epitome
Of darkness and despair
Just leading onto nowhere
Will I be able to win this race?
I’m runnin’ at a slow pace
Trying hard to press on
But the motivation’s gone

‘Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that’s calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling

Oh

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
‘Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

It may not have to be this way
Waiting for me they could be a new day
Maybe I can revise
And escape from the lies

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
‘Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

There could be something more
To what my life may have in store
I’ll move from where I began
Keep on pressing through to the end

SAVE THE DAY

Tied to the tracks and I hear you call,
Your voice is shaking,
The train is coming faster than you thought and there’s no
escaping it,
And you think that you know how the end of the story goes,
That’s the page I re-wrote and I’ve taken away the ropes,
There’s more hope than you’ll ever know

Chorus:
So keep breathing, I say that I’d always be there,
Now I mean it more than ever before,
There’s a future worth fighting for,
So don’t be scared,
I know how you must be feelin,
With no one to help you carry the pain,
I’m comin to save the day

Hands on the clock are standing still,
But your heart is racing,
You’re loosing your grip on the window sill,
Going down by the weight of it,
And you pray for belief,
As you lie on the bathroom floor,
As you wait, you can see,
There’s a light underneath it all,
This is the day you’ve been waiting for

Chorus

Bridge:
We’re finally breaking into the daylight,
In the warmth of the sun,
I will stand by your side till your fear passes on,
So just look in my eyes,
And baby try to hold on and you find it won’t be long

Chorus

Tied to the tracks and I hear you call,
Your voice is shaking…

ZERO GRAVITY

Tell me what you did to me,
Just there beneath my feet.
Didn’t even notice we were miles above the ground.
I’m not afraid of heights,
We crashed into the sky,
Didn’t know that I could feel the way that I do now.
I’m not asking for an explanation,
All I know is that you take me away,
And you show me how to fly.

Nothing brings me down,
When you’re around.
It’s like zero gravity.
The world just disappears when you’re here,
It’s zero gravity.
When things get messed up,
You lift my head up,
I get lost in the clouds.
There’s no sense of time with you and I,
It’s zero gravity.

The edges fade away,
‘Till there’s no more shades of gray,
You only have to whisper anything at all.
You opened up my eyes,
You turned my lows to highs,
And that’s the only way that I know how to fall.
Not gonna analyze and try to fight it,
Don’t even care if it makes no sense at all,
Cause with you I can fly.

Nothing brings me down,
When you’re around.
It’s like zero gravity.
The world just disappears when you’re here,
It’s zero gravity.
When things get messed up,
You lift my head up,
I get lost in the clouds.
There’s no sense of time with you and I,
It’s zero gravity.

You make it
So easy
To just drift away
I can’t
Imagine
Being without you

Ohhhh

Don’t think about..
Don’t think about..
Don’t think about..
yeah yeah
Don’t think about..
Don’t think about it

Nothing brings me down,
When you’re around.
It’s like zero gravity.
The world just disappears when you’re here,
It’s zero gravity.
When things get messed up,
You lift my head up,
I get lost in the clouds.
There’s no sense of time with you and I,
It’s zero gravity.

SOMEBODY OUT THERE

Sitting all alone in your room
Thinking that the world’s let you down
All you ever wanted to do
Is trust someone to
Always be around

You’ve had a lot of lessons to learn from, mmm
Some of them hit you so hard
And I keep believing someday you’ll see
You don’t have to be alone

There’s somebody out there
Somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I’d give you anything
If only you knew it was me

Ohh

I’ve been watching you go through
All of these things for a while
Oh, there’s gotta be a way to bring you back
‘Cause it’s worth it when you smile
Oh, it doesn’t have to hide you forever
It doesn’t have to last too long
If you’re wondering where to turn to
I hope that you’ll know

There’s somebody out there
Somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I’d give you anything
If only you knew it was me

I wanna be there when you’re in need
I would never be long if you were waiting
When you gonna see
If you could only see

There’s somebody out there
Somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I’d give you anything
If only you knew it was me
Oooooooh
I’d give anything
Ohhhh
Anything at all
I think it’s time
That you knew it was me

LET’S TALK ABOUT LOVE

Sometimes I wondered
what I’d be when I grew up
And then I remembered
It was anything I dreamed of

I could be a poet or singer
I can be a scientist
But before I make that decision,
Let’s talk about my list

Let’s talk about love
Let’s talk about peace
And livin’ in perfect harmony

Let’s talk about hugs
And talk about ways we can share

Let’s talk about you
Let’s talk about me
Let’s talk about
How we can be one big family

Let’s talk about love
Let’s talk about love

Sometimes I feel like
I want to give my friends a call
To tell them what I’m dreamin’
And everything I want

I want us to be a little closer
And to always reach out a hand
To be kind to one another
And always understand

It’s all about love
It’s all about peace
And livin’ in perfect harmony

It’s all about hugs
It’s all about ways
That we can share

It’s all about you
It’s all about me
It’s all about
How we can be one big family
It’s all about love

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la…

Everybody has a heart
Everybody has a smile
Let’s wrap a bow
Around each one
And give it away
(And give it away!)
Once a while….!
(Let’s talk about love)
Let’s talk about peace)
(And livin’ in perfect harmony)

It’s all about hugs
And all about ways
That we can share

It’s all about you
It’s all about me
It’s all about
How we can be one big family

It’s all about love
All about love

It’s all about hugs
It’s all about
Ways that we can share

It’s all about you
It’s all about me
Let’s talk about
How we can be one big family

Let’s talk about love
Talk about love
Let’s talk about love!
Ooooooohh!
It’s all about love

I Wanna Know You

When I saw you over there
I didn’t mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere
I wanna know you

Gonna guess that you’re the kind
To say what’s on your mind
But you listen when I have something to show you

There’s a mark above your eye
You got it in July
Fighting for your sister’s reputation

You remember people’s names
And violent times are lame
So I bring you flowers just for no occasion

I wanna know you

I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself
Yeah, I thought so

You smile and never shout
You stand out in a crowd
You make the best of every situation

Correct me if I’m wrong
You’re fragile and you’re strong
A beautiful and perfect combination

I wanna know you

I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
I’ll sit back and say to myself

I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe someday down the road
I’ll sit back and say to myself
Yeah, I thought so

I thought so

I wanna know you

I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
I’ll sit back and say to myself

I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe someday down the road
I’ll sit back and say to myself
Yeah, I thought so
