Change Your Mind

I can’t believe you today
And I can’t imagine what to say
It’ll fly forever in my soul
But you’ll bring me back to ground sure enough
Then you sing for me
And nothing seems to matter anymore
And you flash your eyes
But it’s taking all the time in the world
And you don’t understand
It’s messing with my mind
And nothing seems to matter anymore
The touch of your hand
It’s sending me up high
And always keep me running back for more
And you will find
You’ll change your mind
No matter what you do
And I’m tired of keeping up with you
So let it fly forever in your soul
Don’t ever let me down anymore
Just sing for me
'til seems to matter anymore
And flash your eyes
But still it’s taking all the time in the world
And you don’t understand
It’s messing with my mind
And nothing seems to matter anymore
The touch of your hand
It’s sending me up high
And always keep me running back for more
And you will find
You’ll change your mind
You will know
And time will show
You will know

Tell You What

Tell you what
I don't know what we've started now
So thanks a lot
I think we've lost the plot somehow
And all the choices we make are dividing us in two
But all the roads that I take only lead me back to you
I'll tell you what
The future's not so rosy now
I wonder what
To do to make this stop somehow
When all the choices we make are dividing us in two
As I lie there awake don't believe it could be true
And every lie and mistake's coming back to haunt us too
But all the roads that I take only lead me back to you
So tell me what are you thinking of me now
No matter what
I'll make it back to you somehow
And all the games we play
I'd bend the rules for you
But if we break away
I'd swim right back to you
So tell you what
Doo doo do doo

Always Forever

This life can tear you apart
And baby it’s breaking my heart
The things you’ve been saying to me
Well baby I know how it seems
We’re falling apart at the seams
But some things are just meant to me
You are the one who makes it worthwhile
Given me every reason to smile
God made me yours, and thank god you’re mine
And we will always forever be with each other
But no matter how much we try
I’m finding it hard to deny
That things aren’t what they used to be
But baby I give you my word
You’re always forever my girl
I won’t let you give up on me
I was the one who caused all this pain
But you are the one who shoulders the blame
So I’ll be the one to stand up and say
That we will always forever be with each other
Always forever face life together
You are the one who makes it worthwhile
Given me every reason to smile
God know I’m yours and thank god you’re mine
And we will always forever be with each other
Always forever face life together
Always forever be there for each other
Nothing can stop us from being together
Yeah nothing can keep me from you
Yeah you’re always forever my girl

The Way It Moves
05:14
|

Paint a little picture and plant it in your mind
Then tell me what you see, tell me what you find
A window on your feelings, reflection of your soul
Do the images remain, do the colours come and go?
But still we keep on seeing things we never knew were there
Kaleidoscope of visions that will never stay the same
The images will fade but still those memories remain
And all our lives, they’ll feel the same
But a melody can haunt you, wherever you may be
Through everything you do and everything you see
Can heighten your emotions, captivate your mind
Encapsulate your soul, the spirit that’s inside
And somehow it relates to you yet never knows your name
And all at once it touches you then lingers in your brain
The images will fade but still those melodies remain
And all your life they’ll feel the same
The music comes and lifts you up and down again
The meaning will prevail without a word, and then
It spirits you away ‘til you’re no longer there
And no one can say, could ever explain
The way it moves
I’m crying out to reach you with everything I say
And nothing’s getting through but I say it anyway
Then I play a little number when I’ve nothing else to do
And I drift away and dream that I’m singing it for you
We’re overcome with feelings like we’ve never known before
The music creeps inside and then you feel it even more
Transcending any barrier, unlocking every door
And all at once, I need you more
A minor chord can lift you up and down again
Stealing you away with every word, and then
Awakening the thoughts we’d never known were there
And all our life, we’ll feel the same
The music comes and lifts you up and down again
The meaning will prevail without a word, and then
It spirits you away ‘til you’re no longer there
And no one can say, could ever explain
The way it moves, the way it moves, the way it moves

Piece of Mind

Take a little piece of mind
Let me ease it for your now
I never dreamt of leaving you behind
Let me reassure you now
But this time feels right to me
And it’s something I believe
Well I know what’s right for me
And I’m hoping you can see
So let me take another piece of mind
Got to hear that calling now
Or will I wake forever wondering why
Better seize my moment now
When this time runs out on me
I need something to believe
Hell I know what’s right for me
And I’m hoping you will see
With all you mean to me, to still be waiting here
With all we could have been
Hold this forever, In this together
You know that it’s killing me
So will you wait and find some peace of mind
Won’t be easy for you now
Would you feel safe, or would you run and hide
Well I wouldn’t blame you now
If the sky falls down on me
And I stumble to my knees
Heaven knows what’s right for me
And I’m hoping I can see
Nah na na na na,
Nah na na na na
Lah la la na na,
Lah la la na na
Take another piece of mind
Well it’s easy for me now

Dream

Dream all you want
Be who you want
And go where you want
See what you want
And never be fearful at all
Cos I'll always be here if you fall
So you can…
Be who you are
Follow your heart
Reach for the stars
Know you'll go far
And never be lonely at all
Cos I'll always be near when you call
So you can…
Live how you want
And love who you want
Say what you want
change all you want
And never be fearful at all
Cos I'll always be here if you fall
So you can…
Dream, you can dream (x 4)

The air is cold and clear, I can see my breath in front of me
But I’m warm inside because of you
I’m down and out, but you’re there to pick me up
Keep it up, it’s the thought of you keeps me going along
And the snow melts away
It’s the thought of you that makes this a beautiful day
It’s a lonely time of year if you’ve no-one there to share it with
But I’m not alone because of you
You shine a light that leads me to your door
Keep it up, it’s the thought of you keeps me going along
And the snow melts away
It’s the thought of you that makes this a beautiful day
And you throw me a rope, lend me a hand
Give me hope at the end of the line
Throw me a rope, lend me a hand
Give me hope at the end of the line
And the snow melts away
It’s the thought of you that makes this a beautiful day
This beautiful day
Throw me a rope, lend me a hand
Give me hope at the end of the line
Keep it up, it’s the thought of you keeps me going along
Keep it up, it’s the thought of you that makes this a beautiful day
This beautiful day

Here I am again
Getting weary of these people in my eyes
Drift away from all the crowds and fall asleep by the river
And I dream….
Loneliness is hard and I’m sick and tired of sleeping alone
Like a child I’m feeling something that’s nothing
Like a song without a melody
And I dream sweet dreams
I’m sick and tired
You’re staring at my face
You’re an offer that’s too good to refuse
And I tried to take the time to be alone with you
But tried to hide what’s deep inside, won’t be denied, my stupid pride
It’ll take a bit of time
It’ll take a little pride
And take a bit of getting over
To understand this heart of mine could use a bit of soul
And I want to be with you
Here I go again
Always searching for a non existent prize
Like an idiot I try to solve a crime without a mystery
And I’ve been around, been all over this town
Now I can’t leave it too soon
I’m sick and tired
It’ll take a bit of time
It’ll take a little pride
And take a bit of getting over
To understand this heart of mine could use a bit of soul
And I want to be with you
I look you in the mind to stop you from breaking down
Try to make you understand what’s beyond my comprehension
Beyond my memory
And I’ve tried so hard….
Here I am again
I’m still asleep by the river
Then I’m blown by the wind
And I’ve been away too long
It’s nearly evening
Think its time I’m getting home now
