RELATIONSHIP

IS THIS LOVE

Take off your coat, let down your hair
Pick out some music while I pour a liqueur
Let’s reminisce a while about the food and wine
I’ll light a fire and we’ll take it as a sign
Play with the buttons of my shirt
And lift your eyes
You look so gorgeous in that gown I have to sigh
Is this love, is this love
Is this love, love, love
Is this love

There is the door, do we walk through
I want it all, but I need you to need it too
Might be you want to wait, I know he hurt you bad
And I hate to say it but a part of me is glad
‘Cause I’ve always wanted you
To be here just like this
So I could ask you with my caresses and my kiss
Is this love, is this love
Is this love, love, love
Is this love

Will you nestle in my arms when daylight comes
Sunday morning lovers’ glow

Your phone rings, you take the call
I leave the room, don’t want to pressure you at all
I come back, the room is empty and so cold
My heart breaks, I think you’ve done as he has told
Then I see you lying naked in my bed
And I swear I hear the whispers in your head say
Is this love, is this love
Is this love, love, love
Is this love

BACK TO WHERE WE WERE

(Verse 1 & 2)
Safe and sound
we were so safe and sound
all of our friends would say
you’re gonna grow old and gray together

But bit by bit
Been losing it bit by bit
Running so close to empty
Looking for signs that say if we can

(Chorus)
Pick up our broken pieces
Fill up our empty spaces
Lift all our fallen dreams
And bring back those lovers’ scenes
That live somewhere in our hearts
To heal all our wounded parts
And lead back to where we were
Just might back to where we were

(Verse 3 & 4)
Cold hard wind
Stirring up doubts within
Building up banks of sorrow
Going so deep we don’t know

If our fate might turn
Give us a chance to learn
Maybe leave scars of wisdom
Telling us where we’ve come from when we

(Chorus 2)
Pick up our broken pieces
Fill up our empty places
Rise from our fallen dreams
And bring back those lovers’ scenes
That live somewhere in our hearts
And heal all our wounded parts
And lead back to where we were

(Chorus 3)
Can we pick up our broken pieces
Fill up our empty spaces
Lift all our fallen dreams
And bring back those lovers’ scenes
That live still within our hearts
And heal all our wounded parts
And lead back to where we were
Just might back to where we were

DON’T YOU DARE LET GO

She was the one who broke my heart
But I am the fool who walked away
On that day, so long ago
She wasn’t proud of what she’d done
But I was too weak for honesty
On that day, so long ago
We had the kind of love that ages like fine wine
If you have a love like that
Then fight to hold the line
Don’t let go
Oh no, son
Don’t you dare let go
Don’t let go

They had been married five good years
And weathered every single storm
Sent their way, ‘til that day
Standing angry toe-to-toe
Hurtful words and wounded pride
In their way, on that day
Never thinking in that moment love could die
Feeling nothing when you touch
So you decide to let go
I know how
You feel yourself let go
You just let go

They had forgotten I was there
So I spoke a gentle word
To my son, on that day
He turned with anger in his eyes
But I knew the deepest fear inside
Of my son, on that day
He let me lead him from the room so she could cry
And I knew the time had come
To tell him of the time
I let go, oh Lord how,
How I just let go
I just let go

I said, “She was the one who broke my heart
But I am the fool who walked away
On that day, so long ago
She wasn’t proud of what she’d done
But your mother never tried to hide
What’d gone on, and on that day
She took a chance that I was worthy of her love
If you have a woman who would offer you as much
Don’t let go
Oh no, son
Don’t you dare let go
Don’t let go

ONE LIFE

One night
How can I feel this way
One night away from you
One light
Burning inside of me
One light – Lover’s Blue
Crazy,
Missing you this much
It’s crazy, it’s true
One life,
All I can promise
But one life
Won’t be enough time with you

One heart
Can’t hold my love for you
One heart overflows
One dream
Never to lose you
That one dream never goes
One kiss
All I remember
That first kiss from you
One life
All I can do is pray
One life opens the doorway to two
Million with you

One night
How can I feel this way
One night away from you
One light
Burning inside of me
One light, Lover’s Blue
Crazy,
Missing you this much
It’s crazy, it’s true
One life,
All I can promise
But one life
Won’t be enough time with you

I DON’T SHINE

We sit here at the table
Our lines drawn in the sand
No way to go forward
At least not hand-in-hand

We’ve been down every alleyway
We’ve chased down every lead
We gave it everything we’ve got
It’s time that I leave, ‘cause

I don’t shine
In your eyes anymore
No, I don’t shine
In your eyes anymore

A piece of our puzzle
Has fallen through the cracks
We fished on our hands and knees
But can’t get it back

It’s one of those mysteries
That we’ll never know
But somehow we recognize it’s time
(But thank God we recognize it’s time)
We let it go, ‘cause

I don’t shine
In your eyes anymore
No, I don’t shine
In your eyes anymore

FROM THIS WRECK OF LOVE

I come home to find your suitcase on the bed
You just sitting there, your eyes are red
I sit down and wait for you to find the words
That tell me where we have gone wrong

If I’m honest I’ll admit I’m not surprised
It’s been there quite a while, in your eyes
Every time you said you’re fine, then turned away
I knew a part of you was gone

Well, can we salvage friendship from this wreck of love
Find a way to carry on
Can we salvage friendship from this wreck of love
Well, I don’t know if I’m that strong
No, I don’t know if I’m that strong

Well, you’ve been gone a while and I’m still on my own
Kicking ‘round this house that was a home
Picking up the pieces scattered here and there
A shattered heart, a broken soul

Then I come home to find your note taped to the door
Asking me to please, please call
I take it inside and it’s heavy in my hands
As I sink down against the wall

Well, can we salvage friendship from this wreck of love
Find a way to carry on
Can we salvage friendship from this wreck of love
No, I don’t know if I’m that strong
I don’t know if I’m that strong
I don’t know if I’m that strong

DOESN’T MATTER

(Verse 1 & 2)
Doesn’t matter what you say
Doesn’t matter how you say it
You can stroke me with those eyes
You can pout those sweet red lips

Doesn’t matter if you cry
Doesn’t matter how you play it
It’s the end of this sad road
It’s the end of your cheap tricks

(Chorus)
Doesn’t matter that you swear that you will change
Heard you say it all before
Doesn’t matter that this tears my heart apart
Doesn’t matter anymore

(Verse 3 & 4)
Doesn’t matter what they say
Doesn’t matter how they see it
There was something ‘bout your love
That was oh so good for me

Doesn’t matter when I leave
Doesn’t matter how I do it
Gonna leave a great big hole
In whatever life I lead

(Chorus)
Doesn’t matter that you promise me you’ll change
Heard you say it all before
Doesn’t matter that this tears my heart apart
Doesn’t matter anymore

FINALLY

(Verse 1)
Here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
And all the stars I could gather
Here’s my night
Here’s my day
And every moment that matters
Yeah, here’re the chains
Bind them tight
Wrap your lifetimes around me
Cause here I am
And here you are
Finally

(Verse 2)
Here’s my life
Here at last
Seems so long I’ve been waiting
Here’s my heart
Come alive
Not one beat hesitating
Here’s my hand
Read the lines
They all say you would find me
Now here I am
And here you are
Finally

(Bridge)
Comes a moment for every soul
Can’t live alone anymore
Comes a moment for every soul
Those eyes look at you and you know

(Verse 3)
That here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
For every verse, every chapter
Yeah, here’s the light
That lights the way
From right now and ever-after
So here’s my love
All for you
It’s always been here inside me
Now here I am
And here you are
Finally
Yeah, finally
Oh, finally

HALELU

There’s a man at my door
And he’s definitely not smiling
Think I slept on the floor
And my head is still spiraling
There’s a taste in my mouth
Like I tried hard to get over you

Well the man says, “Time’s up.”
“No more warnings. It’s judgment day.”
I throw a punch
But he’s already walked away
I have to laugh
It’s the same way
That I fought for you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, halelu
Yeah, yeah, halelu
For this fool

As I look in the mirror
And the razor is right there
At the pulse on my neck
And I feel like I don’t care
With the greatest of ease
I could cut to the heart of this song

I would turn back the time
I would stand up and conquer
Every heart every mind
Tell them I am no longer
Just a fool who let go
Just a fool who thought he’d carry on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, halelu
Yeah, yeah, halelu
For this fool

JUST BEYOND MY SIGHT

Found you in my dreams again (saw, held)
But what am I to do? (But nothing I could do)
I twist just like a matador (like I’m a matador)
But daylight runs me thru
Stealing you away once more
At least until tonight
While all around I feel you near
Just beyond my sight
Yes all around I feel you there
Just beyond my sight

Will you think of me tonight
And wonder who I am
Close your eyes and see a face
Feel a gentle hand
Somewhere warm within our hearts
We know we’ll get this right
Cause all around I feel you near
Just beyond my sight
Yes all around I feel you there
Just beyond my sight

Yeah, I’ll search through all this emptiness
If it takes all my life
Cause all around I feel you near
Just beyond my sight
Yes all around I feel you near
Just beyond my sight
Yes all around I feel you there
Just beyond my sight

HERE YOU ARE

Words run away from me
Cradled in your ecstasy
Never knew my world
Could shine like this

A blind man who now can see
And every sign is telling me
That here in you
Is everything I’ve missed

Yeah, here you are, here at last
The missing piece, the other half
Yeah, here you are
Right out of my dreams
Yeah, here you are, so deep within
That from this day my life begins
Yeah, here you are
My one and every thing

Soft light as morning lifts
A loving smile, a gentle kiss
Never dreamed my world
Could turn this way

A line traced on satin skin
And ancient memories rise within
A million lifetimes
Waiting for this day

Yeah, here you are, here at last
The missing piece, the perfect match
Yeah, here you are
Right out of my dreams
Yeah, here you are, so deep within
That from this day my life begins
Yeah, here you are
My one and every thing

Yeah, here you are, here at last
The missing piece, my other half
Yeah, here you are
Right out of my dreams
Yeah, here you are, so deep within
That from this day my life begins
Yeah, here you are
My one and every thing

I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS ENDS

Moving on automatic
Through these days of our life
Making love so pragmatic
If we touch in the night

I don’t know when the change came
Why we break, we don’t bend
Started out with the best of intentions
But I don’t know how this ends
No, I don’t know how this ends

Moving on from the passion
It’s the way these things go
Love’s a fad left behind like a fashion
If you both, if you both cannot grow

I don’t know when the pain came
And I don’t know if it mends
Started out with the best of intentions
But I don’t know how this ends
No, I don’t know how this ends

Part of my heart is still going there
Hearing love when you whisper my name
Part of my heart still looks in your eyes
And would kneel down, I would kneel down
I would kneel down and hand you the chains

Moving on automatic
Through these days of our life
Making love oh so pragmatic
If we touch
If we touch in the night

I don’t know when the change came
Why we break, we don’t bend
Started out with the best of intentions
But I don’t know how this ends
No, I don’t know how this ends
I don’t know, I don’t know

I’D GIVE MY LIFE
If they could read my mind
I know just what they’d find
A million thoughts of you
‘Cause that’s all I ever do

Collected through the years
Sweet highs, some bitter tears
Been close but never yet
Not one moment I regret

‘Cause I’ve seen the other side
Yeah, I’ve heard you say goodbye
Then I’ve chased away that nightmare
To feel you by my side

So no war for borderlines
Could sway my gentle mind
But girl I swear it’s true
I’d give my life for you

Some wonder how I know
That I’ll never let you go
And I feel like I should cry
“Well, just look into her eyes!”

But my words would be in vain
‘Cause it cannot be explained
That feeling when you know
You’re never letting go

But there’s something in the eyes
That makes you realize
You could walk her into hell-fire
And she’d bring you back alive

So no war for borderlines
Could sway my gentle mind
But girl I swear it’s true-
I’d give my life for you

NO SATISFACTION HERE

I open up the drapes
And watch you walk away
The final scene
But there’s no sound

The rain is pounding off the pavement
Your cab waits
You drive away
Won’t turn around

Oh, no, no, no I don’t know who’s in charge
But this plot’s going down in flames
Oh yeah, well they all said we would go far
And so I really must complain
No satisfaction here
No satisfaction here

I open up the drapes
And look out on the day
And it might seem
So bright and blue

But all I see is that rain
Bouncing off the cab
As it drove off
And there went you

Oh, no, no, no I don’t know who’s in charge
But this plot’s going down in flames
Oh yeah, well they all said we would go far
And so I really must complain
No satisfaction here

Sunday mornings tempt me, the need to fill this empty
I think you’d be at home, they say you’re still alone
I hold my phone and wonder, would it just throw us under
The wheels of broken love again

Oh, no, no, no I don’t know who’s in charge
But this plot’s going down in flames
Oh yeah, well they all said we would go far
And so I really must complain
No satisfaction here
No satisfaction here
No satisfaction here

SO EMPTY

So empty, so empty
Here without you

So empty, feels so empty
Everything I do

Again some day
Again some way
I know our time’s not through

But now so empty
Oh so empty
Here without you
Here without you

Again some day
Again some way
I know our time’s not through

But now so empty
Feels so empty
When I reach for you
So empty, oh so empty
Here without you
Here without you
Here without you

YOU DON’T NEED ME

When the pain comes
You can fight the tears
When the love runs
I’ve seen you hide your fears
No, you don’t need me
But I’ll still be there

If the sky fell
Think you could push it back
Yes, in a dark hell
You’d be a shining path
No, you don’t need me
But I’ll still be there

You might be all alone
And swear that no one cares
You might be tired of being strong
You might be feeling cold
But no one’s there
So wrap your arms around this song

And I’ll be there
Help to soothe the pain
Tell you I care
Time and time again
No, you don’t need me
But I’ll still be there

You might be all alone
And swear that no one cares
You might be tired of being strong
You might be feeling cold
But no one’s there
So wrap your arms around this song

And I’ll be there
Help to soothe the pain
Tell you I care
Time and time and time again
No, you don’t need me
But I’ll still be there
