This Night


What a nice night out

Stars are all about

I just see your eyes

Are you surprised?


What a real bright moon

Looks so much like you

So beautiful, glowing

Graceful and flowing


Are you a little cold?

I see you shivering

Can I wrap my arms around you?

Can I act like I'm about to?


Is that a smile on your lips?

Mind if I lean for a kiss?

Sorry to be sudden

But you're all I'm lovin'


Aaahhhhh, hmmmm, hmmm

This night

Yeaaah, yeah, na na

This night

Ooohh, ooh, ya na na

This night

La, la, oooh, hmmm

This night


Can you hear crickets chirp?

A bunch of tiny, hopping birds

Oh, you're laughing

My heart, what's happening?


I noticed you moved closer

I'll be your cover

If the sky dares to cry

I'll hold you, don't question why


Melt in my embrace

When I can't fight this race

Surrendering to your gaze

You have me in such a phase


You're looking far away

But I know you're here to stay

By the blush on your sweet face

No other could ever take your place


Aaahhhhh, hmmmm, hmmm

This night

Yeaaah, yeah, na na

This night

Ooohh, ooh, ya na na

This night

La, la, oooh, hmmm

This night


Dawn is coming

I can't stop worrying

Thinking about letting you go

How do I let you know?


It's a cute slow dance

I'm caught in a trance

Can we stay like this?

Everything else we'll dismiss


It looks so promising

Being near you I'm treasuring

With your breath I'm living

Feel like I want to sing


In the dark it seems so bright

You've become my starlight

I'll take all you can give me

My angel, can't believe you're with me


Aaahhhhh, hmmmm, hmmm

This night

Yeaaah, yeah, na na

This night

Ooohh, ooh, ya na na

This night

La, la, oooh, hmmm

This night


What a nice night out

Stars are all about

What a real bright moon

Looks so much like you


Dawn is coming

I can't stop worrying

Thinking about letting you go

How do I let you know?


Aaahhhhh, hmmmm, hmmm

This night

Yeaaah, yeah, na na

This night

Ooohh, ooh, ya na na

This night

La, la, oooh, hmmm

This night


It's such a nice night out

You Can Still Fly


Two roads cross unexpected
Falling in love then regretting it
Making promises, don't keep to it
Hold on to life, no, just live it
We keep wasting time so unaware
Let's climb up the slide, slide down the stairs
Don't wait too long for a miracle
They lied when they said life is a circle

But did ever tell you this?

You'll fall if you don't breathe
You'll cry if you don't receive
You'll hurt if you won't relieve
You'll remember if you deceive
You're guilty if you stay shy
You're dishonest if you tell a lie
You're a martyr if you want to die
If you don't have wings you can still fly
If you don't have wings you can still fly

Small holes will dig deep
Sudden laughter and then you'll weep
Uncertain joys, things unknown
A will to explore but feeling alone
Salty waterfalls we can taste
Trying to slow down then there's the haste
Pressure's on now, stand or fall
They lied when they said you can do them all

But did ever tell you this?

You'll fall if you don't breathe
You'll cry if you don't receive
You'll hurt if you won't relieve
You'll remember if you deceive
You're guilty if you stay shy
You're dishonest if you tell a lie
You're a martyr if you want to die
If you don't have wings you can still fly
If you don't have wings you can still fly

That cloud won't come down
That star won't listen to your plea
That world beyond this world will never be in reach
That light in the dark
Everything you desire is so far
When those hands grab tight look into your heart

Did they ever tell you, would they ever tell you, they never told you

You'll fall if you don't breathe
You'll cry if you don't receive
You'll hurt if you won't relieve
You'll remember if you deceive
You're guilty if you stay shy
You're dishonest if you tell a lie
You're a martyr if you want to die
If you don't have wings you can still fly
If you don't have wings you can still fly

When He Loved Me


I remember when he loved me
Life was the best it could be
He'd hold me close, say he loved me most
And I'd feel so free

I remember when he kissed me
Butterflies streamed the night
The world hushed and I blushed
Everything felt right

I remember when he whispered
Promises I did believe
A life together, a love forever
My pains he did relieve

I remember when he called me
Late that night, I was asleep
I'd ask what was wrong, he'd say all along
He was missing me

I remember when he laughed
The universe turned inside out
I was on the stars, Earth was far
My joy conquered doubt

I remember when he danced
Holding me in his arms
We were in a trance, lost in romance
I fell to his charm

I remember when he smiled
Black seemed to turn to white
His face glowed, his beauty showed
Darkness turned to light

Then that morning came
Said he really had to try
Things were hard, his destiny was afar
So he said goodbye

All those nights after
Memories flooded my mind
Stomach churning, heart burning
Pain followed behind

His picture on my pillow
I hold it so lovingly
Wondering where he is, who touches his lips
If he remembers me

I remember when he loved me
Life was the best it could be
He'd hold me close, say he loved me most
And I'd feel so free

When he loved me, when he loved me
Everything felt right

Do What You Think Is Right


See I started patrol when I was 20 years old

People glarin' at me when I gave a ticket, charged a toll

But it ain't my fault 'cause that's just how it goes

Do you're job and you're on a roll

Like the dice, it's nice, but sometimes the spice

In the recipe we're mixing or what they call life

Is full of people who expect and you start to regret

Not meeting the top, school's done, it's all set

There's no going back and I wouldn't even want to

It takes up so much of my life, too much to go through

Who wants to relive the pressure, that same damn clock

With those hands that don't turn fast enough?

And then those cliques, those fits, those tricks they play

Laughin' when you fall, and you wish you hadn't stayed

But Momma likes the house and Daddy say we can't afford

To move so in the end you lose


But no matter how far you fall, no matter how hard it is

Past, present, future, accept it as a gift

Life will throw you discomfort, trouble will follow

You'll feel the tears come, you feel so empty, so hollow

Don't let it take away, close your eyes and pray

Hope for a brighter day, don't listen to a word they say

Someday they'll know, until then just let it go

And do what you think is right, do what you think is right

Keep to the light

Do what you think it right, what you think is right

No need to be afraid of the night

Do what you think is right, do what you think is right

It'll get you along

Do what you think is right, what you think is right

There's consequence to wrong


I was at the bar reachin' in my pockets for a quarter

In the corner I saw a father strike his daughter

'Cause he's seen her with a guy he'd never met before

He grabbed him by the collar and threw him out the door

The girl screamed terrified and looked at me

But I was too frozen in past to act rationally

Remembering all the times I'd lied to my family

Sneakin' off and doin' things that they'd deprived of me

And just like this girl, when they found out

I was standin' there panic-stricken lookin' all about

For someone to give me an answer or tell me what to do

Because in that moment it's hard to separate lie from the truth

Still even in this time people treat me like I'm the same

As if I'm dealin' drugs, sleepin' with so many people

And leadin' a hundred, no a thousand rampages

But I've changed, why won't anyone get it?

It hurts so much that they can't move on or forget it


But no matter how far you fall, no matter how hard it is

Past, present, future, accept it as a gift

Life will throw you discomfort, trouble will follow

You'll feel the tears come, you feel so empty, so hollow

Don't let it take away, close your eyes and pray

Hope for a brighter day, don't listen to a word they say

Someday they'll know, until then just let it go

And do what you think is right, do what you think is right

Keep to the light

Do what you think it right, what you think is right

No need to be afraid of the night

Do what you think is right, do what you think is right

It'll get you along

Do what you think is right, what you think is right

There's consequence to wrong


Sometimes I find myself sittin' in the corner of the room in the dark

Like a frightened child whose run from home

Shiverin' in the cold hopin' nobody will come

'Cause you feel like you wanna be all alone

And every little breeze is your past come to haunt you

Every little leaf that touches your hand is there to hurt you

So scared, so unprepared, 'cause no one understands

Livin' in your past, tellin' you your 'cans' and 'can'ts'

So your past was hell and they live on memory

Your present is now ruined 'cause your fakin' a smile painfully

And there goes your future, all the way, eternally

With all that judgment on your shoulder you're feelin' lonely


But no matter how far you fall, no matter how hard it is

Past, present, future, accept it as a gift

Life will throw you discomfort, trouble will follow

You'll feel the tears come, you feel so empty, so hollow

Don't let it take away, close your eyes and pray

Hope for a brighter day, don't listen to a word they say

Someday they'll know, until then just let it go

And do what you think is right, do what you think is right

Keep to the light

Do what you think it right, what you think is right

No need to be afraid of the night

Do what you think is right, do what you think is right

It'll get you along

Do what you think is right, what you think is right

There's consequence to wrong

(x2)


Someday they'll know, until then just let it go

Come Back



Come back to me, boy

I didn't mean what I said

When I said I don't need you

You know it's not true

'Cause you're my everythin'

You're my every dream too

Come-come-come-come back to me, boy


See when I'm watchin' the tv, I start flippin' through the channels

I'm hatin' them all, rather stare at the flannels

Than watch all these movies where the guy is kissin' his baby

While he's holdin' his lady, could this be us maybe?

Life's getting' kinda shady, I've been hurtin' so much lately

I'm missin' you greatly, could you come back and hold me?


Come back to me, boy

I didn't mean what I said

When I said I don't need you

You know it's not true

'Cause you're my everythin'

You're my every dream too

Come-come-come-come back to me, boy


I try to go shoppin' with the girls, we'd be poppin'

The champagne late at night, tryin' to make me feel right

But the girls bring all their guys, and they're holdin' them tight

I'm tryin' so hard to forget you with all my might

But even in my sleep, you're still in my sight

I'm battlin' with my memories, puttin' up a fight

But I know in the end, there's no point to pretend

That I don't miss you, that I don't need you


Come back to me, boy

I didn't mean what I said

When I said I don't need you

You know it's not true

'Cause you're my everythin'

You're my every dream too

Come-come-come-come back to me, boy


I decide to pack my bags and move out of state

Just when I'm at the airport, I know it's too late

You're already buried deep inside my heart

I swear nothin' hurts more than when we're apart

So I pace the ground floor, thinkin' plenty more

Replayin' the story of how this all ended sore

And if you can hear me, just know I'm so sorry

My heart's at unease, come back to me please


Come back to me, boy

I didn't mean what I said

When I said I don't need you

You know it's not true

'Cause you're my everythin'

You're my every dream too

Come-come-come-come back to me, boy


I don't know how else to say

How much I want you back with me

So this heart of mine won't beat in pain

It yearns for the rush of your love again and again

Please...come back into my arms


(Music Only)


Come back to me, boy

I didn't mean what I said

When I said I don't need you

You know it's not true

'Cause you're my everythin'

You're my dream too

Come-come-come-come back to me, boy

(x3)


Please, come back to me

Hello, Goodbye


You're here, but you're leaving tomorrow

Baby, tell me, what time is your flight?

You've been here a week, how was your time?

Did you enjoy yourself, love of mine?


Did you take pictures, are you in them all?

Did you go shopping, have you seen the new mall?

Have you been here before, it seems like you have

I want to cry, but I'll hide it with a laugh


'Cause you're here and soon you'll be gone

I stayed away from you all along

Didn't tell you I was right by your side

Instead I chose to hide

I was the girl you walked right past

The moment really seemed to last

At least I got the chance to see your face

But I never got the chance to say

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye


I wonder what my luck was to bump into you

I was hoping so much that's what I'd do

Every car that drove past I was looking in the window

Wondering if I could recognize you like in a show


The first plane that flew overhead tonight

I couldn't help to wave and say goodbye

But underneath my breath I whispered it through

Baby, I'm really gonna miss you


'Cause you're here and soon you'll be gone

I stayed away from you all along

Didn't tell you I was right by your side

Instead I chose to hide

I was the girl you walked right past

The moment really seemed to last

At least I got the chance to see your face

But I never got the chance to say

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye


I checked the date, I checked the time

I wish I could press rewind

And go back to the day when you said you'd be coming here

So that I could tell you where I am and get over my fear

Of not being enough, of not being tough

I'm still trying to change myself for the better

I know it was my mistake, 'cause now you're going away

When I could've met the true love of my life

The one I want to share forever


But you're here and soon you'll be gone

I stayed away from you all along

Didn't tell you I was right by your side

Instead I chose to hide

I was the girl you walked right past

The moment really seemed to last

At least I got the chance to see your face

But I never got the chance to say

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye


You're here and soon you'll be gone

I stayed away from you all along

Didn't tell you I was right by your side

Instead I chose to hide

I was the girl you walked right past

The moment really seemed to last

At least I got the chance to see your face

But I never got the chance to say

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye

Hello, goodbye


Hello...goodbye

Where Do I Belong?


Trying to figure it out

Where am I? Who am I?

Takin' the moment to look about

What is this? What did I miss?


It's a story that's been put on pause

For too long, this must be wrong

Is there a chance we could rewind

Back to day one, but now the story's done


Can someone freeze, freeze time

Until I go and find

Before the day turns to night

My home?

Where do I belong?


Stars don't light the way

I'm misguided, I won't hide it

I've forgotten what to say

When people stare, life's so unfair


It makes no sense to go on

Howling at the moon like the wolves do

The first pages are already gone

So where do I stay? Where do I lay?


Can someone freeze, freeze time

Until I go and find

Before the day turns to night

My home?

Where do I belong?


Lost in the night with the fireflies

Can't close my eyes

Drifting on the current of the breeze

Calling out to my heart, where do I start?

If only time would freeze...


Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

(If only time would freeze

I could find my home)

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

(Where do I belong?)

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm

(Where do I belong?)

Hmmm...hmmm

Hmmm...hmmm...

Blame It On Me


Align Center
A few days ago you'd said you'll leave

What was I supposed to believe?

I said go ahead, but you'll be dead

Trying to live without me


You left it at that and packed your bags

I thought they'd stay in the room for eternity

But when I woke up in the night I saw a light

And heard the sound of a car driving away to the city


Ran to the window, called out your name

The neighbor's yell for me to go to sleep

But I payed no attention, didn't dare to mention

That I was now a widower, I began to weep


How is sleep gonna come to this broken heart

That tore a love to strong right from the start?

Should I wait, should I cry, what's the reason to life

Without you here by my side?

How do I stand when I've fallen so hard?

Shattered every piece of me, I know it's my fault

How can I get you back to me?

If it matters at all you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me, you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me


Cuddled up in bed with an empty space

Trying to close my eyes, but the tears keep falling

I can't believe it, did you really do it?

Underneath your pillow I found your wedding ring


The sun comes up, but my world if feeling down

Will there ever be a next time around?

You were my only one, but now you're up and gone

I can barely stand without you, I'm falling to the ground


The silence in the house is just too much

I need you back, I miss your voice, your touch

Did I hear the phone? Can't be, I'm so alone

I'm so weak without the caress of your sweet love


How is sleep gonna come to this broken heart

That tore a love to strong right from the start?

Should I wait, should I cry, what's the reason to life

Without you here by my side?

How do I stand when I've fallen so hard?

Shattered every piece of me, I know it's my fault

How can I get you back to me?

If it matters at all you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me, you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me


Did I...take you for granted?

Did I...never be romantic?

Did I...think I was always right?

Did I...take advantage all the time?


Did you...try to get me to see?

Did you...have to bear too much with me?

Did you...still believe in me?

Did you...know I can't sleep without you beside me?


How is sleep gonna come to this broken heart

That tore a love to strong right from the start?

Should I wait, should I cry, what's the reason to life

Without you here by my side?

How do I stand when I've fallen so hard?

Shattered every piece of me, I know it's my fault

How can I get you back to me?

If it matters at all you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me, you can blame it all on me

You can blame it all on me

(x2)


You can blame it all on me

(Baby, I'm so sorry)

You can blame it all on me

(Will you please come back to me?)

You can blame it all on me

(I need you right by me)

You can blame it all on me

(I didn't mean to be so crazy)

You can blame it all on me

I know it's my fault, my fault, my fault...

All Wrong


Didn't take long like they knew it would, did it?

Thought we knew it all, but I guess there was no love in it

I know, you know, but then how didn't we see it?

If you need proof open your eyes take a look and believe it


Started off so strong, so hot, what could've brought us down

When we were so high in the sky, now we're on the ground?

My legs are broken, can't move my arms, there goes my heart

But where we fell I can tell we're so many miles apart


Now we're just broken pieces

I just can't believe it

Thought it was really love, thought I knew who I was

But I was too blind

Caught up too far in your lust

Didn't expect to trust you so much

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Yeah, we got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Everything so wrong


Thinking back to the very beginning, I would've never guessed

That we'd be here right now feeling so depressed

The sun never looked so dim in the middle of June

All I can think about now is holding on to you


If we could rewind it all, would you want to do it again?

I'd do it to feel you against me, but I can't bear to let you in

You're a snake, for my sake, can you restrain your sweet charm?

When I let you come too close I know I'm doomed to harm


Now we're just broken pieces

I just can't believe it

Thought it was really love, thought I knew who I was

But I was too blind

Caught up too far in your lust

Didn't expect to trust you so much

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Yeah, we got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Everything so wrong


Your hips, your lips, your hands, your thighs

How could I let them cloud my eyes?

Aren't I so much stronger inside?

Am I stupid to think I know my mind?

Your hugs, your kiss, eternal bliss

Baby, you know I'll remember this

But what made you think too

That it'd work out between me and you?

Now all we are is


Now we're just broken pieces

I just can't believe it

Thought it was really love, thought I knew who I was

But I was too blind

Caught up too far in your lust

Didn't expect to trust you so much

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Yeah, we got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

We got it all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

Everything so wrong

(x2)


We got it all so wrong

Tonight


When I touched your lips with mine

I swear nothing felt so fine

The burdens of my heart washed away

Replaced by every sweet thing you had to say


When you placed your hands on my hips

And gently pressed your lips

Against my neck, shoulder, my spine

I gasped at the thought you were mine


So tonight

Tonight I will lose myself in this pleasure

Of your luscious embrace forever

And tonight

Tonight I will lay in your arms and sleep

Knowing that you really do love me


When I looked deeply into your eyes

I was amazed as much as surprised

Of the care that shined, the love inside

How you smiled at me with so much pride


When you whispered soft in my ear

You rid my soul of every fear

All I could do was melt in your hold

Hearing every beautiful poem you told


So tonight

Tonight I will lose myself in this pleasure

Of your luscious embrace forever

And tonight

Tonight I will lay in your arms and sleep

Knowing that you really do love me


I pray with all my heart that you'll never let go

That someday in this life you'll come to know

How much joy you bring with the faintest touch

And that it's with you I've fallen so madly in love


So tonight

Tonight I will lose myself in this pleasure

Of your luscious embrace forever

And tonight

Tonight I will lay in your arms and sleep

Knowing that you really do love me

(x2)


Knowing that you love me

Broken Glass


I'm trying to put myself together for you

All of these pieces, what am I to do?

I know I can by myself, no doubt

I've done it before, picked them right off the floor


Every little crumb in the palm of my hand

Should I feel proud, should I feel grand?

I need some glue, will that work?

How long will it last before it cuts the past?


Broken heart, here's the pieces

Let me mend you alone

It's a puzzle I've put together many times before

Broken heart, here's the glue

One piece of glass to another

How many times will this repeat before it's ash?

Broken glass


I've heard countless stories about magic

Every time I dared to believe the ending was tragic

I cannot trust anything anymore

When I find it's a lie, my pulse is in an uproar


A heart of stone bleeds no blood

A heart of metal dents but doesn't break

A heart of wood can be hollow but floats in flood

But a heart of glass smashes by mistake


Broken heart, here's the pieces

Let me mend you alone

It's a puzzle I've put together many times before

Broken heart, here's the glue

One piece of glass to another

How many times will this repeat before it's ash?

Broken glass


Here it is, will you hold it carefully?

It's a thin layer around

Crystal glass, isn't it colorful?

Please don't let it fall to the ground

Have you ever heard the sound of your last beat?

Have you ever had to bear seeing your dreams by your feet

Crushed by the one you trusted most?

That's the consequence of letting someone too close


Broken heart, here's the pieces

Let me mend you alone

It's a puzzle I've put together many times before

Broken heart, here's the glue

One piece of glass to another

How many times will this repeat before it's ash?

Broken glass

(x2)


Broken glass turned to ash

Waiting For You


I've wanted to travel all my life

I've wanted to change myself for the better inside

I've wanted be a superhero

I've wanted fly, fly


There's so many things I want to do

And people wonder why I haven't started

To reach for moon, why not start soon

But they don't know I'm waiting for you


'Cause I have pressed pause on time

Waiting for you, waiting for you

And I will spend all my life

Waiting for you, waiting for you


I've wanted to climb Mount Everest

In school I wanted to be the best

I've wanted to pick out my prom dress

I've wanted to feel sweet caress


There's so many times I was so close

To having almost reached all of those

People say I'm foolish for not making my dreams come true

But how could that be when I'm not with you


And I have pressed pause on time

Waiting for you, waiting for you

And I will spend all my life

Waiting for you, waiting for you


(Guitar solo)


I've wanted just to be happy

I've wanted to be free

I've wanted to be me

I've wanted to open my eyes and see

You, you beside me


People still ask why I still wait

They say don't bother it's too late

He hasn't come, they tell me

So why am I risking everything

'Cause I know you'll be back and I'm waiting

For my wedding ring


I have pressed pause on time

Waiting for you, waiting for you

And I will spend all my life

Waiting for you, waiting for you

(x3)


I'm waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you

'Cause I, I love you
