Good morning, beautiful












Good morning, beautiful
I whisper every morning in your ear
As the sun slips softly through the window and illuminates your skin
I stop breathing

Who knew I would wake up holding my dream in my arms?
Can't let go in case you escape and I realize I was wrong
But you, you are real, thank You God

Does it show that I'm in love with you?
Do you know that I'm in love with you?
I will remind you every day

One marriage is too much for some
But I propose whenever you return my gaze
Nobody's life is easy, but it's so simple to lie beside you and stay
Forever

No time is long enough, my darling, so guess what I'll do
Spend this lifetime earning you
Although it feels like I'm already in Heaven

Does it show that I'm in love with you?
Do you know that I'm in love with you?
I will remind you every day

Does it show that I'm in love with you?
Wished on a star and you came true

If it ever passes my mind and my attention isn't yours
Just be yourself, you're perfectly wonderful
And I'll know why I'm here whispering in your ear
Good morning, beautiful
Because you define beautiful

In A Kiss's Distance













(Girl):

Here I stand
Unable to move again
Trapped between love and common sense

The strings aren't tied
I'm drifting, but deep inside
My heart knows where its running to

The longer I wait, the further I fall
I convince myself to go, but no

I'm refusing to admit in a kiss's distance from your lips
Whatever was mine now is yours
Things were perfectly fine until I realized what it's like
What I'm missing without you
If I ever try to leave, I know I'll still be holding your hand

(Guy):

I'm not quite sure
Lately, I've felt this more
A great desire to spend all my time with you

I see your hesitance
I watch you struggle with pretense
You're okay, but I can feel your pain

The longer I wait, the harder it is to resist
I try not to dream, but it seems


I'm refusing to admit in a kiss's distance from your lips
Whatever was mine now is yours
Things were perfectly fine until I realized what it's like
What I'm missing without you
If I ever try to leave, I know I'll still be holding your hand

(Piano)

(Girl):
You make me believe this will last

(Guy):
You see through my every mask

(Girl & guy):
I'm just afraid, but not enough to let go of you

The longer we wait, the further we fall
I don't want to remember my life without you at all


I'm refusing to admit in a kiss's distance from your lips
Whatever was mine now is yours
Things were perfectly fine until I realized what it's like
What I'm missing without you
(x1)

(Girl):
If I ever try to leave, I know I'll still be holding onto your heart

(Guy):
If you ever leave, I know I'll fall apart

I Just Feel So Sad


















Countless questions, very few answers
Knocks on my door, I pretend I'm asleep
Calls ringing all night, so I unplug the chord
I just want to be left alone

Scribbling on my checklist, not much done
Staring for hours at literal nothingness
Too many thoughts, it overwhelms
I hold myself and hum softly

This emptiness is overcrowding
There's too much to take in, I'm not breathing
It bears me down, it bears me down
And I just feel so sad

Concerns burning like candle flames
When to give up, when to linger on?
The required effort to convince myself now
It'll only get better from here

This emptiness is overcrowding
There's too much to take in, I'm not breathing
It bears me down, it bears me down
And I just feel so sad

(Piano)

Insensitivity in a world of impatience
My heart is drained from trying still
If in the end, no one understands
How will this hole be filled?

This emptiness is overcrowding
There's too much to take in, I'm not breathing
It bears me down, it bears me down
And I just feel so sad
I just feel so sad
I just feel so sad
I feel so sad

Never Let Go












Neither you nor I can say it's the right time
I've tried to find my way, but I'm falling out of line
It's not as easy as you think
I can't wish this violence away
But when I feel you close to me
There's a reason to have faith

We've been here several days, maybe we should go
We could wash this trace, though we'd be alone
I just want to keep you safe
Another route would be easier
You're still holding on to me
Can we survive the winter?

I'm still alive while I've forgotten to breathe
I'm taking a step with your fingers in between my own
What did I do to deserve you, I'll never know
I've nearly died, but you never let me go
(Hmmm)

How can I make you see this is impossible?
You stare in my eyes and I believe it's possible
I pray the screaming will end
I pray these nightmares will leave
I pray I won't have to pretend
That you mean little to me


I'm still alive while I've forgotten to breathe
I'm taking a step with your fingers in between my own
What did I do to deserve you, I'll never know
I've nearly died, but you never let me go

My pulse is all over the place
My tears are all over my face
Trying to please everyone I love
You pull me against your chest
I hear the sound I know best
I close my eyes and I'm okay


I'm still alive while I've forgotten to breathe
I'm taking a step with your fingers in between my own
What did I do to deserve you, I'll never know
I've nearly died, but you never let me go
(x2)

You hold me close and I'm not alone
You hold me close and I can go on

Perfect


It's embarrassing to hesitate like this
I'm not quite sure how to move my lips
Will I forget my name if you kiss me?

These people pass by and they don't have a clue
My blood's rushing inside when I'm near you
Who was I before I met you?

This moment seems so perfect
So perfect, I don't know how to deal with it
I am falling, I am losing myself in you
Now I'm flowing and I'm breathing
For the first time I feel like I'm living
It's so perfect, so perfect here with you

I used to be alone walking this dark road
What do I say when you give me your coat?
My mouth can't express my heart well enough

I have this impulse to dance in the rain
You've made me smile that special way again
Now my life will never be the same

This moment seems so perfect
So perfect, I don't know how to deal with it
I am falling, I am losing myself in you
Now I'm flowing and I'm breathing
For the first time I feel like I'm living
It's so perfect, so perfect here with you

There's another world with just you and me
You're the only one I can see
You're so beautiful, you're beautiful to me
The pain I've felt throughout these years
It disappears, it disappears
I can laugh with ease
The sunrise warms me

This moment seems so perfect
So perfect, I don't know how to deal with it
I am falling, I am losing myself in you
Now I'm flowing and I'm breathing
For the first time I feel like I'm living
It's so perfect, so perfect here with you
(x2)

It's perfect here with you

On These Tracks













Overcome, I’m tired now
I’ve kept my smile lifted for hours
It’s time to sleep
Will you come lie with me?
Let your presence be the warmth to ease the cold of my pain

High and low, this rhythm never changes
I wrote you a letter and you ripped the pages
There go the pieces of my heart
It’s beginning to get comfortable in the dark

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

There’s this voice I’ve been hearing lately
It whispers words that frighten me
“This is it. This is all there is.”
I crawl under the covers and hide ‘til the light wakes me

There are simply too many questions
How can I rest?
I’ve been running so long
When am I allowed to take a breath?
I wish you’d appear by my side and press me to your heart all night

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

(Piano)

Empty moments, anticipated sighs
Blank surprises, unexpected cries
Losing the game despite my tries
A candle flame slowly dies
Why, oh why can’t I just be with you?

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone
Because wherever you are, babe, is where I belong

Haunted


















Guy:
Where am I now in this time and space?
All I want is to see your face
Hold my breath, count to ten, hope you show up
So much emotion 'cause I'm missin' you, I just might blow up
People talk, holidays come around, seasons change
Life is empty without you here, babe

What broke this strongly beating heart?
It's wasn't you, it wasn't me
But now we're in the dark

Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Girl:
There's no point in trying to sleep it through
My pillow's damp with ache for you
I get no rest morning through night in this circle of sadness
No coffee, drug, run, time, can numb me from this madness
And I'm too magnetized to your pictures
Can't throw them away, babe

What tore this perfect rose apart?
It wasn't you, it's wasn't me
But there lie two bleeding hearts


Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:
There you are beside me now
I'm afraid to lean in and kiss your lips

Girl:
I don't know what to say
I'm afraid if I exhale you'll fade away

Guy&Girl:
Damn the world for leaving me no escape

Guy:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name

Girl:
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane

Guy:
Invisible memories causing physical pain

Girl:
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?

Guy:
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone

Girl:
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy&Girl:
These walls cave in and I'm screaming your name
Holding your pictures to my chest going insane
Invisible memories causing physical pain
If I make a wish, will you appear in my arms?
I can't move on, I can't breathe with you gone
Haunted by what I've lost

Guy:
Where am I now in this time and space?

Girl:
All I want is to see your face
