"Everything You Want"

"Everything You Want"


Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
And into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know

"Faithfully"

"Faithfully"


Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go 'round and 'round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
Lovin' a music man
Ain't all it's supposed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Then everything
Would stay the same

And I know that
Only time will tell me how
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn
To fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...
Faithfully

"Family"

"Family"


After years of deception
And your broken roads
There will be no rejection
From my heart to yours

So show me hope
And show me fear
From your heart that's beating
You're not alone in your tears
Cause we're lovers fleeting
And the world is sleeping

I'll be, I'll be,
Your family
When your times get hard
And I'll see, I'll see,
You next to me
When the road gets dark

And my heart is the exception
To the pain you know
So don't fear your reflection
When I hold you close

So show me hope
And show me fear
From your heart that's beating
You're not alone in your tears
Cause we're lovers fleeting
And the world is sleeping

This promise I'm keeping

I'll be, I'll be,
Your family
When your times get hard
And I'll see, I'll see,
You next to me
When the road gets dark

So dream on
And begin
Your days with laughter
Cause your story will end
Happy ever after

And I'll be, I'll be
Your family
When your times get hard

So if they pull you under
And they steal your wonder
I'll be the hand you can hold

And when the lights are fading
I hope you're ready, yeah, to love
In your soul
And the will to let go
In all

Cause I'll be, I'll be
Your family
When your times get hard
And I'll see, I'll see
You next to me
When your road, when your road gets dark

So dream on
And begin
Your days with laughter
Cause your story will end
Happy ever after

And I'll be, I'll be
Your family
When your times get hard

I'll be, I'll be

Your family

I'll be, I'll be

Your family

So dream on
And begin
Your days with laughter
Cause your story will end
Happy ever after

"Fast Car"

"Fast Car"


You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money

We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

"Find Me"

"Find Me"


So many nights trying to hide it
But now I stay awake just pleading for more
To think this heart was divided
I'm losing sleep cause I can't ignore...

Feeling your touch all around
Peacefully hearing the sound
Of silence around us, I'm so glad we found us this way

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
And blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

I can't get enough of you

I want to be where you are
In times of need I just want you to stay
I leave a note on your car
When I can't find the right words to say

Hearing your voice all around
The last place we're going is down
I'll blindly follow, knowing you're leading the way
Yeahhh

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
And blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

With you in time
There's nothing else
My life stands still
You are the will, that makes me strong
Make me strong
If ever alone in this world I know I'll always...

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
And blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within
Ooh and you sleep, here in my arms
Where the world just shuts down for awhile
And blindly, you came to me
Finding peace and belief in this smile
Find some peace and belief in this smile
Well find some peace and belief in this smile

I can't get enough of you

"Firework"
(originally by Katy Perry)

"Firework"
(originally by Katy Perry)



Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

So don't let 'em take your life for granted
You're the only one who needs to rule your world
When life leaves you feelin empty handed
Light up and show 'em what you're worth

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

"Fix You"
(originally by Coldplay)
(feat. Tyler Ward)



When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

"For The First Time"

"For The First Time"


Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While i'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how, how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

She needs me now but i can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now in the unemployment line
And we don't know how, how we got into this mess is it a god's test
Someone help us cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah

We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time ooh

She's in line at the dole with her head held high
While i just lost my job i didn't lose my pride
And we both know how, how we're going make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't for a while, a while yeah

Smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time ooh

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Shit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while

We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time ooh

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

"Given Up"

"Given Up"


You've given up
Given up
Given up on love

I see your love in black and white
Cause it's right and it's wrong
But a memory plays in colorful flashes of light
Now it's all that I have to hold on to

I know your past is calling
But I don't want to believe my time was all in vain
I know your heart stopped falling
But I don't wanna admit that I just failed again
But some things will never change

You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same
You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same

Some nights I'll just lie in bed, thinking of you
And I can see you smile
But most days I have to hold back what I know is true
That I was only meant to have you for a while

I pray you found your calling
And I hope you feel that it was worth the pain
Cause I still feel you falling
And in my dreams you've never had better days
But then I hear you say

You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same
You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same

And to this day you make me sing
And I still see that diamond ring
You'd be the mother of my child
Can I hold you for a while
Just wanna hold you for a while

You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same
You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same

I know you pass this feeling
But there's nothing else I'm needing
But our past in my heart
And it's slipping away

You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
But I still feel the same
You've given up
Given up
Given up on love
