ONLY REMINDS ME OF YOU

ONLY REMINDS ME OF YOU


I see you, beside me
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Isn't too late to let it show

That I come to run from your side
But this place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When i turn out of the light
Even the night
It only reminds me of you

I needed my freedom
This what I've thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart breaks while you cry
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
How could I ever let you go
Isn't too late to let you show

That I come to run from your side
But this place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out of the light
Even the night
It only reminds me of you

Only you...

Please come back to me
I'm down on my knees
God give me strength...

That I come to run from your side
But this place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out of the light
Even the night

OVER MY HEAD

OVER MY HEAD


Baby, I?m tryin? to make some sense
Of all we should?ve learned from experience
We win, we lose, we conquer and we fail
One part serious, do or die
Another part crush in junior high
I?m chasing my emotions like a tail
I can still move my fingers
But I can?t seem to let go

The cold winds are blowing, I should be goin?
I?m in over my head
Without even blinkin?, you?ve got me thinkin?
I would be better off dead
Yeah? I?m in over my head

You made me weak, I made you laugh
Driving through the rain in a yellow cab
The taste of your kiss is with me even now
But this thing we?ve got goes by different names
Never two days in a row the same
I wanna stop feelin? this, but don?t know how

I see my legs and they?re moving
But I just can?t walk away

Chorus

I?ll say goodbye, but talk is cheap
I count the memories in my sleep
I?ve had enough, but I want more

Makin? me weak, makin? you laugh
Driving through the rain in that yellow cab
Baby, your kiss is with me even now

Chorus

PART OF ME

PART OF ME


Light

It falls from you and covers me
And I
I love you in ways no voice could speak
I never dreamed I?d have so much
But I?d burn it all just to warm you up

You are the water that I drink
You are the song I?ll always sing
You turned my world of doubt into belief
And I will love you on your way
I will remember every day
And if you fall I?m never out of reach
Cause you?re a part of me

Live
May the wind carry you
And rise
High enough to see the truth
I will protect you when I can
Don?t be afraid just give me your hand

Chorus

As you go along
You won?t take a step alone
And should your faith be gone
I?ll believe for you

I love you more than the sea is deep
Just know (that) you can always count on me

Chorus

PLAYING WITH FIRE

PLAYING WITH FIRE


Hey, you got the look of a lonely woman's eyes
What'cha thinking when you're standing so close to me?
Ain't no law says a man can't fantasize
There's a secret locked up in you tight
Ooh, I'd love to turn the key

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, fighting my desire, baby
Whoah, my conscience is a liar
Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, walking on a wire, now I
Whoah, I face the crucifier
What'cha doin' to me?

Live by rules made up by society
But I guess I must've missed election day
'Cause so much about you looks so good to me, yeah
For what I'm thinking I could go to jail
But some laws are born to break

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, fightin' my desire, baby
Whoah, my conscience is a liar
Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, stakes are getting higher, now I
Whoah, I face the crucifier
What'cha doin' to me?

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, fighting my desire, baby
Whoah, my conscience is a liar
Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, walking on a wire, now I
Whoah, I face the crucifier
What'cha doin' to me?

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, fighting my desire, baby
Ooh, I'm beggin' you Lord, have mercy
On a shameless sinner

Whoah, playing with fire
Whoah, stakes are getting higher

POWER OF YOU AND ME

POWER OF YOU AND ME


Everybody's talking, the world is goin' round
Rumors are flying all over the town
How could a stranger know what's still a mystery to me?

I don't know what to call it, I don't know what it is
I only know for certain, I've never felt like this
And baby, it's the one thing I can believe

There's nothing I fear in this life
Long as I've got you by my side

We're mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything I've ever known
One look at us together anybody could see
There ain't nothin' that can stand up to the power of you and me

We're only good together, no good on our own
Everything about you feels just like home
Before you I don't remember how I got along

You are the spark to my flame
The only one that burns in your name

We're mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything I've ever known
One look at us together anybody could see
There ain't nothin' that can stand up to the power of you and me

So many souls searching for
What we're holding right in our hands
You're the woman that makes me a better man

We're mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything I've ever known
One look at us together anybody could see

READY TO FLY

READY TO FLY


I've been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me

I've looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to Heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on
When I should've been letting go

I was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could be

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to Heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it's time for me to discover
All that I am

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to Heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

I've always had wings

REAL WORLD

REAL WORLD


I remember me sittin' on my daddy's knee
Dreamin' 'bout what life had in store for me
When I look back now it really makes me mad
The years I took for granted were the best I had

School was alright, gave me time to fantasize
But one day I woke up and I realized

I'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

I wanna relax but I don't know how
The pressures on me are much stronger now
I remember the days I didn't have a care
Aside from being afraid somebody'd cut my hair

I wanna make it before my chances are gone
They say be patient but it takes too long

I'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

Real world
Where there ain't no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

Someday soon I'll settle down for good
There was a time I thought I never would
I'm gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach
I'm gonna have three kids, maybe one of each, ooh yea

Well, I've got to make it before my chances are gone
They say, "Be patient" but it takes too long

I'm livin' in the real world
Where everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

Real world
Already no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world

REMEMBER MANHATTAN

REMEMBER MANHATTAN


Yeah, nothing worth a damn can be sifted through the brain
Sense don't make the man but you insist on being sane
Don't take time to think or you're done before you start
There's no missing link 'cause it's right there in your heart

Take a closer look there's an answer not a question
In that May-December line
You'll bite a bigger hook than the one you want to leave behind

Remember Manhattan, Woody wasn't wrong
Remember Manhattan before you say so long

How you gonna tell if it stands the test of time?
There's no wishing well that comes true without the dime

It's a common curse that the grass is always greener
No matter what you have
But nothing could be worse than to try to reproduce the past

Remember Manhattan, what did Woody say?
He said, "Remember Manhattan before you walk away"

Lose your common sense
'Cause you may not get the chance again

Remember Manhattan, what did Woody say?
He said, "Remember Manhattan before you walk away"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You must remember
Remember Manhattan before you walk away
Remember, remember

SATISFIED

SATISFIED


We work our bodies weary
to stay alive
There must be more to livin'
than nine to five
Why should we wait
for some better time
There may not even be a tomorrow
Ain't no sense in losing you mind
I'm gonna make it worth the ride

(chorus)
Don't you know?
I won't give up
until I'm satisfied
Don't you know?
Why should I stop
until I'm satisfied?

Ignore the hesitation
that ties your hands
Use your imagination
and take a chance
I won't let my moment
of truth pass me by
I've gotta make my move
now or never
And if they turn me loose on this town
they're gonna have to hold me down

(chorus)

Yeah

(instrumental)

(chorus 2x)

Why should I stop
until I'm satisfied?

Ain't gonna stop
until I'm safisfied

SAVE ME

SAVE ME


My head is tired
In need of consolation
I?ve lost sight
Of the destination
I took my hands off the wheel
I swear, for just a moment
But I really don?t remember

I?m frozen to the bone
I?m drowning all alone
The water?s taken over
I used to have the touch
But now I?ve lost the feeling
And only you can save me
Only you can save me

My heart is torn
Patched up like an old rag doll
And I can feel
Barely anything at all
I can?t go back, I can?t go on
Can?t hide behind the in-between
I?m at the bottom and still falling

I?m frozen to the bone
I?m drowning all alone
The water?s taken over
I used to have the touch
But now I?ve lost the feeling
And only you can save me
Only you can save me
