1.Up All Night
Waking up in someone else's bed
Was what I was waiting for
Oh my days, what have I done
She saw me sneaking out the door
What have I been waiting for
Been wasting all my time
Watching my youth slip away
Surely is a crime
And no, she don't know
What we do in our spare time
No, she don't know
That we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
Sun is up while I'm walking home
But my head's up in the clouds
Trying to get myself to bed
But I really don't know how
And no, she don't know what I do in our spare time
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning
2.Treading Water
My heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her
I hope you can't pretend
Girl you're a fire and you'll find
That I want to get burnt
No matter what you can teach me
I'm sure I'll never learn
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water
Maybe its another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I fucked things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
If my concentration
Seems spread too thin
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her
And your another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance-e-e-e
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure i'll fuck things up in the way way
Maybe it's another chance
to mock myself again
3.Relax My Beloved
Relax my beloved, don't worry for me
Don't shed a tear for me, always be near for me
Be comforted my love, don't bow you head for me
Promise you'll smile for me, don't ever cry for me
You know these walls
They may fall down but I'll still hold on to you
At heights higher
Than you'd imagine me to
Then maybe again we would weep
Like we've done a thousand times before
Don't turn your back on me or shout
As you walk out the door, no, no, no, no
Just be still my heart, only a moment away
In the next room or at the break of day
And I will walk once again to see your face again
And I hear every word you'd have to say
Then maybe again we would weep
Like we've done a thousand times before
Don't turn your back on me or shout
As you walk out the door, no, no, no, no, no
Then maybe again we would weep
Like we've done a thousand times before
Don't turn your back on me or shout
As you walk out the door, no, no, no, no, no, no
4.Too Close
You know I'm not one to break promises
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe
At the end of it all you're still my best friend
But there's something inside that I need to release
Which way is right, which way is wrong
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're headed separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on
my way
You gave me more that I can return
Yet there's so much that you deserve
Nothing to say, nothing to do
I've nothing to give
I must leave without you
You know we're headed separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on
my way
So I'll be on my way
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing that I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you so I'll be on
my way
So I'll be on my way, so I'll be on my way
5.When Doves Cry
Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry
6.Humming Bird
Take what you need and leave the rest, no i don't mind, no i
don't mind,
Ill get this off my chest, there's no where else I'd rather be
Come flying in, and then again,
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well ,
there's no where else you'd rather be
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering round' me
And I move near, as you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me, as I
Move near you fly away,
(don't fly away) x's3
What can I say? You have to wait,
I find it hard to say and to articulate
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be
It seems so clear,
I know we're through,
Yet all I wanna do is make love to you
I know there's no where else you'd rather be
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near you fly away,
(don't fly away) x's 5
Buzzing around my head, things you have done,
The words you have said,
Remain with me after you've left,
I try but I can't forget
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering around me
As I go near you fly away.
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering around me
As I go near you fly away.
(don't fly away) x's5
7.Hands Are Clever
Care 'bout no history
I just wanna go raise a family with you
'Cause we could raise them properly
If you've a car and you're built for speed
And I wanna go fast, so give me what I need now
I bet you hear that all the time
I've been watchin' you sittin' in bed
And I wanna hold you near
Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
'Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games on me
I'm gonna get you those precious things
Like cornbread, whiskey and chicken wings
See that's a promise I can keep
I like cashmere I like the sweater
But if you take it off we'll both feel better
You know I'll help you happily
If these lights are low enough
No one's gonna see you blush
Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
'Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games on me
There's only so much I can say to convince you
Though words they have their place not in a bedroom
Say I don't care if you go but that's a lie 'cause I do
Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
'Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games on me
And you're tired of playing games on me
8.Tight Rope
Life's a tightrope,
and your standing on one toe,
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
your bound to fall to the ground below,
Pick yourself up again,
over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams,
When all seems to be lost,
don't start to count the costs,
just go and begin again,
tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound
to fall,
just go keep on going on,
When all you work for,
comes tumbling to the ground,
don't let the sadness fill your heart,
tomorrow may be a better day,
lift your head up again,
you know you'll start again,
no matter what may come of it,
You know there's more to life,
I'm sure that you'll survive,
You know what you have to do,
tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound
to fall,
just go keep on going on,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound
to fall,
9.Whispering
Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees
Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said
Who will care for the fallen?
Who will care for the falling... leaves?
Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said
Who will care for the fallen?
Who will care for the fallen?
Autumn shades calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, keeps me in my dreams
Then I went whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees
Whispering, whispering, those dew drops are glistening
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said
Who will care for the fallen?
Who would care for the fallen?
Autumn shades calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in her dreams
Keep on falling down, they keep on falling down
Keep on falling down, keep on falling down
Autumn shades calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in my dreams
Autumn shades calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am
Suddenly hearing, when I want to scream
Oh, please just cut me down, leave me in my dreams
10.I Love You
Though I left you there sleeping
No I dare not say a word
Silently weeping
Knowing what I heard
What can I say
I was never good with words
My tongue always got it wrong
Hoping that you knew all along
Hell I've done all I can
How else can I get this through
I know you're someone else's
And I'm sure he needs you
When I'm laying in my bed
I can say what's on my mind
Let my actions be my words
I'm sure that you heard
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
11.Sanctuary
You left me broken
So many tears I cried for you.
Tried to understand
all that we've been through
Lost, confused
Is this hope? Abuse?
I'll still shelter you,
keep you warm
Protect you from the storm
Holding you close to my heart
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary
Wrapped around you
The whole world just disappears
Time stands still when I'm with you
A moment feels like years
I feel confused
There's so much to lose.
My head is fighting with my heart,
it feels so torn apart
Holding you close to my heart
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary
Just making it up as I go along
Feels so right when I'm with you,
but I know it's wrong.
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary.
12.I Won't Let You Down
Just another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
No I never imagine that my path would lead to you
A look in your eyes as they met mine
Seem to say we're the same
In so many ways
Though we're worlds apart
I will promise you
I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
There are so many reasons to keep us apart
But it won't stop me losing
My mind or my heart
What would I give
To touch your hand
Oh just feel your skin
I'd breathe you in
Could this ever be
You'll be next to me
No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
I know myself so well
But I've never been here before
You're just out of my reach
But I will be here
Of that you can be sure
Can be sure
It's another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
I can only imagine that I'm walking with you
I realise if you were mine
We may fall apart
Oh you'd have my heart
There's too many things between you and me
No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
