"High"

"High"



I am so innocent I swear to God o but you pressure me
And I can't help but unwind
By now you know I'm not the stable kind
But you keep on testing me
Until I make you cry how long can I take you
You should know that the only way I can deal

Is to get high so high until everything in gone
And I can't say a word
I get high so high
Just to shut you out so I can't hear a word

I know your lookin' for an endless love
But this thing ain't what you think
It's more like endress work
You say I'm jaded and my mind is thick
And that I'm blind to trust
But I can see right through you
How long can I take you
You should know that the only way I can feel

Is to get high so high until everything in gone
And I can't say a word
I get high so high
Just to shut you out so I can't hear a word

When I am away from you my head is strong
When I get near you make sure my mind is gone
The only way to deal with you is to get high...

"Holding On"

"Holding On"



It's so easy to see
Where we've been
Made us what we are

We can try to pretend
That it's more
More than what it is

So do it
Lie to ourselves
know what we know
act like we´re okay

And laugh through the pain
It's maybe the change
Could lift us all

We keep holding on, holding on
To something that we don't believe in
Moving on, moving on
Something keeps us from leaving
All this time is just giving us a past
We both know that
we want something to last

Come on teach me this time
'cause I'm free
My eyes open wide
There's something left to persist
But the dream that we can't define

That's why I can't walk away
All that you say
Is coming from inside
You gotta leave what you can,
Leave what you can behind

We're holding on, holding on
To something that we don't believe in
We're moving on, moving on
But something keeps us from leaving
All this time is just giving us a past
We both know that we want something to last

We're holding on, holding on
To something that we don't believe in
We're moving on, moving on
But something keeps us from leaving
moving on, moving on
something keeps us from leaving
All this time is just giving us a past
We both know that we need something to last

"Holy Man"

"Holy Man"



A man is sifting though muddy water looking for what he can find
his character left shamed and bettered has lost the meaning in life
behind the face of reason is burning some kind of hell
the saving grace of one wrong man is somewhere lost in the fight

I walk over holy water
travel through the circlos of love made it with the devil's daughters
I just cant find the stuff to be a holy man

The temperature that I feel is risings its time to give in or fight
to say the least I will succeed or follow the guiding light

I walk over holy water
travel through the circlos of love made it with the devil's daughters
I just cant find the stuff to be a holy man

I walk over holy water
travel through the circlos of love made it with the devil's daughters
Heaven you know that I've tired enough

I walk over holy water
travel through the circlos of love made it with the devil's daughters
I just cant find the stuff to be a holy man
I don't wanna be will enough to be holy man

"I Don't Know Why"

"I Don't Know Why"



I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why I love you.

I don’t know why I ever let you go
I guess it made sense to me years ago
But now I am living alone
Still chasing home
Like I was 22
But I’m without you

I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I love you.
But I do.
I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I want you.
The way that I do

It’s been a long time and I am doing all right
I have a new life
But the memories are from the other one I had with you
Why do I do, the things that I do?

I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I love you.
But I do.
I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I want you.
The way that I do

Why did I let you go?

I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I love you.
It’s true.
I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I want you.
But you know that that I do

I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, why I still need you.
But you know that that I do.

I don’t know why, I don’t know, I don’t know why, but I love you.

"I Don’t Belong"

"I Don’t Belong"



Gettin' on gettin over is not as hard as it should be
Maybe love has made me colder
but it feels more real to me

You tell me all I do wrong but I don't belong to you
I don't belong
You don't want me to be strong but I don't belong to you

I've been walkin' through it blind now I finally can see
Good or bad wrong or right what I'm losin' set me free

You tell me all I do wrong but I don't belong to you
I don't belong
You don't want me to be strong but I don't belong to you

Somethings taken part of me and
I'm not what I used to be oh no

You tell me all I do wrong but I don't belong to you
I don't belong
You don't want me to be strong but I don't belong to you

"I Would"

"I Would"



I feel like a prisoner in my own life
and I'm too tried to break away
This place is darker than it used to be
and it's harder everyday
If I could turn it all around I would and
get my feet back on the ground I would

I would find out what it means to be satisfied I would
I would search my soul in need to find peace of mind
I would
I would try hard to believe in a higher power
But it's easier to let it be

The days seem longer time still rushes by and
I'm not where I wanna be
I'm almost standing but not enough to see
maybe lost is all I am
If I could turn it all around I would and
get my feet back on the ground I would

I would find out what it means to be satisfied I would
I would search my soul in need to find peace of mind
I would
I would try hard to believe in a higher power
But it's easier to let it be

"I'm All In"

"I'm All In"



I’ve been thinking love is gonna take me out
Every time I look into her eyes
The Woman’s got a way of making strangers go wild
I’d call her name but I can’t when I’m tongue tied

Keep on doing what your doing, go for what you know
It aint sad enough for tear drops but it’s sense overload
I can wish I’ve never seen her but I’m wishing I was nearer
I’ve got to draw a line but Im over my head

She can make a broke heart beat fast, faster
Turn your everything inside out
In those dark eyes there shines the brightest light
She’s got something she’s holing, over my head

I tell myself soon she will be mine I see but I’m blind I’m all in (I’m in over my head)
I tell myself she will realize give it some time I’m all in (I’m in over my head)

I’ve got to find a way that I can make her mine
I can’t let this feeling take me over
There are some things in the universe that we can’t describe
I’m searching for the answers but I’m over my head

She can take a closed mind and open that up
Take on your problems and solve them too
She’s something special and shines like no body else
She’s got something she’s holding over my head
SOLO
I tell myself soon she will be mine I see but I’m blind I’m all in (I’m in over my head)
I tell myself she will realize give it some time I’m all in (I’m in over my head)
I’m thinking some day she’ll see the light and open her eyes I’m all in (I’m in over my head)
I tell myself soon she’ll realize I’m giving her time I’m all in (I’m in over my head)

"I'm Losing You"

"I'm Losing You"



Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading,
O' honey away from me
Because your touch, your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself as long as I can, now I feel the
presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name,
It's just not the same
O' honey I 'm losin' you

I can feel it the air, It's there everywhere,
O' I'm losin' you
I can feel it in my bones, any day you'll be
up and gone, O' I'm losin' you
It's all over your face, someone's taken my place,
could it be girl that I'm losin' you
When I look into your eyes, a reflection of
a face I see, O' I'm losin' you

Your love is faded, I can feel it fadin',
O' away from me
I can feel it in the air, It's there everywhere,
O' I'm losin' you
I'm hurt down hearted and worried girl, 'cause that
face belong to me
I don't want to lose you 'cause I know I've got to
groove ya, hey I'm losin' you

"In An Instant"

"In An Instant"



O’ what’s the drama? Cry, ease the pain
You don't know that we all hit the bottom?
I can’t say that I'm not the same

Alone in a dream is where I found you

and it's instant now I finally know the past has brought today
A commitment now I'm man enough everything going my way
And it's instant I can’t fight the war I'm happier today
And it's instant Instant What war?
You’ve got me loving off the pain

Now you’re my lady don't ever change
I've been so many places but you know that yours is the one I claim

Alone in a dream is where I found you

And it's instant now I finally know the past has brought today
A commitment now Im man enough everything going my way
And it's instant I can’t fight the war Im happier today
And it's instant Instant What war?
You’ve got me loving off the pain

O I'm your lover

Alone in a dream is where I found you

And it's instant now I finally know the past has brought today
A commitment now I'm man enough everything going my way
In an instant I can finally love the time has come today
And it's instant put the pen down because its time to file the page
And it's instant I'm owning up I'm better off today
And It's simple it took some time to know the road I had to take
And it's instant I can’t fight the war I'm happier today
And it's instant Instant What war?
You’ve got me loving off the pain
O I'm your lover

"It Burns"

"It Burns"



Take a little time read between the lines and you won't
Have to wonder any more
Why life is what it is you take more than you give
Until there's nothing left at all
Look into your eyes try to realize where it's all goin'

Too far gone to know so you keep on pushin' the line
until it burns
You can't let it go you decide to fight it you try to but it
Burns

One day you will find the words that can describe
what it is
Your fantasy is made of
Fiction feeds the fire, faith can cure the lie
But change won't come until you see the light
Look into your eyes try to realize where it's all goin'

Too far gone to know so you keep on pushin' the line
until it burns
You can't let it go you decide to fight it you try to but it
Burns
Straight into the fire
