1.Under The Influence
I was sure,
I was born and raised to be my own man
I was so sure,
I was never going to need a helping hand
And she said, trust in your heart
and there's no need to understand
Well just when I thought I had it planned out
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
I was driving too close to the edge
and living dangerously
I felt strange a warm sensation
rising up inside of me
Oh like a tidal wave came from nowhere
swept me off my feet
Oh but somehow making me complete now
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Once you've had a taste of it
there's no going back
Once you've had a taste of it
there's no going back
Once you've had a taste of it
there's no going back
Once you've had a taste of it
there's no going back
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
Whatever I do I'm under the influence of you
2.You Give Me Something
You want to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep,
I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep,
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away.
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart.
You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me,
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what the mean,
I never thought that I'd love someone,
That was someone else's dream.
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart,
But it might me a second too late,
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway.
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something,
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try,
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart.
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
3.Wonderful World
I've been down so low people look at me and they know,
they can tell something is wrong
like I dont belong,
well, staring through a window
standing outside there just to happy to care
tonight I wana be like them but I'll mess it up again,
I tripped them out
when God kicked outside everybody's soul.
And I know that it's a wonderful world
But i cant feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that its a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you're here, here with me.
Sometimes I feel so full that it just comes spilling out,
it's uncomfortable to see I give it away so easily,
but if I had someone I would do anything
and never never never never let you feel alone
I wont, I wont leave u on your own,
who am I to dream, dreams are for fools,
they let you down.
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
But I cant feel it right now,
I thought i was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you're here, here with me.
And I wish that I could make it better,
I'd give anything for you to call me,
Maybe just a little letter
Oh it could start again.
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
But I cant feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you're here, here with me.
I know that it's a wonderful world
but I cant feel it right now,
I'v got all the right clothes to wear
i just wana cry now,
I know that it's a wonderful world
from the sky down to the sea,
I can only see well when you're here, here with me.
And I know that it's a wonderful world
When you're with me.
4.The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore
I've been twisting and turning,
In a space that's too small.
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall,
You've been closing me in,
closing the space in my heart.
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.
Well I can't explain why it's not enough,
Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
It's the better thing to do,
It's time to surrender,
It's been to long pretending.
There's no use in trying,
When the pieces don't fit anymore,
The pieces don't fit here anymore.
You pulled me under,
I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth,
That's breaking my skin.
Well i'll hide all the bruises,
I'll hide all the damage that's done.
But I show how I'm feeling
until all the feeling has gone.
Well I can't explain why it's not enough,
Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
It's the better thing to do,
It's time to surrender,
It's been to long pretending.
There's no use in trying,
When the pieces don't fit anymore,
The pieces don't fit here anymore.
Ooh don't missunderstand,
How I feel.
Cause I've tried, yes I've tried.
But still I don't know why, no I don't know why.
I don't know why...... whyyyyyyyy!
I can't explain why it's not enough,
I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
It's the better thing to do,
It's time to surrender,
It's been to long pretending.
There's no use in trying,
When the pieces don't fit anymore,
The pieces don't fit here anymore.
The pieces don't fit here anymore.
5.One Last Chance
In my life I don't mean much to anyone
I've lost my way can't go back anymore
Once I had everything now it's gone
Don't tell me again coz I've heard it all before
Some people say that i'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never
and I'll try to remember who i used to be
I've got one last chance to get myself together
The time has come for me to change again
I can't carry on like this,
I will lose my friends
don't say that you have given up on me.
Just give me the time and space to heal my head
Some people say that i'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never
and I'll try to remember who i used to be
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I don't wanna be misunderstood
I've got to take this chance
and make it into something good
Some people say that i'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never
and I'll try to remember who i used to be
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I've got one last chance
6.Undiscovered
I look at you, you bite your tongue
I don't know why or where im coming from
And in my head i'm close to you
We're in the rain still searching for the sun
You think that I wanna run and hide

It all can change before you know its gone

9.This Boy
This boy wants to play,
There's no time left today,
It's a shame 'cause he has to go home.
This boy's got to work
Got to sweat just to pay what he gets
to get left all alone.
Well let's step outside,
Let's go for a ride,
Just for a while.
No we won't get caught,
Well that's what I thought, until we cry.
I'm still here,
But it hasn't been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down,
For years I've been holding it down.
This girl tries her best everyday,
But it's all gone to waste
'cause there's no one around,
This girl she can draw she can paint,
Likes to dance she can skate,
Now she don't make a sound.
We'll play in our park,
'Till it's too dark for us to see
Well we'll make our way home,
With mud on our clothes,
She won't be pleased.
I'm still here,
But it hasn't been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down,
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
Well it's time to let this go.
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I'm still here,
But it hasn' been easy,
I'm sure that you had your reasons,
I'm scared for this emotion,
For years I've been holding it down,
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,

10.If The Rain Must Fall
Oh life can be strange
Good and bad in so many ways
And in time you will find
That things are not always what they seem
Well i've got something to say
But you might laugh, joke or run away
Coz i'm awkward and nervous
Sometimes i dont say much at all
But if the rain must fall
If i lose it all
If the world comes down and takes my soul
If the sky turns black
And there's no no way back
It won't matter much to me
If i had you
All i need is your love
That's all i need
All i need is your love
Oh well dreams can come true
if you know inside you really want them to
or you can sit you can wait
You can leave your fate in someone elses hands
Oh but I, I want you
And nothing else can make me feel the way you do
So i'm waiting, i'm wishing
That it's me
you'll be holding tonight and every night
But if the rain must fall
If i lose it all
If the world comes down and takes my soul
If the sky turns black
And there's no no way back
It won't matter much to me
If i had you
All i need is your love
All i need is your love
But if the rain must fall
If i lose it all
If the world comes down and takes my soul
If the sky turns black
And there's no no way back
It won't matter much to me
If i had you
'Cause all i need is your love
11.How Come
How come you always wind up changing your direction？
How come you always end up dancing through the room？
How come you always never wanna use protection？
How come you're floating like a helium balloon？
I can't keep up
You're moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last？
Coz i can't tell whether
your up or you're down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round
How come you always end up changing your intentions？
How come you always wind up blowing hot and cold？
One minute honest then your full of false pretension
Head in the clouds
but still your desperate to control, to control
I just don't know what to believe
You build me up then you bring me down on my knees
You say you want me
Then your up and your gone
I got to know just where your comming from
Coming from, where your coming from
I got to know before its over
One way or the other
If your stringing me along
I can't keep up
You're moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last？
I can't tell whether your up or you're down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round
How come？
How come？
How come you always wind up changing your direction？
12.The Last Goodbye
I don't believe you
And I never will,
Oh I can't live by your side
with the lies you've tried to instil,
I can't take anymore,
I don't have to give you a reason
For leaving this time
Cos this is my last goodbye
It's like I hardly know you
but maybe I never did.
It's like every emotion you showed me
you kept well hid,
and every true word that you ever spoke
was really decieving.
Now I'm leaving this time
cos this is my last goodbye
I've gotta turn and walk away,
I don't have anything left to say
I haven't already said before
and I've grown tired of being used,
and I'm sick and tired of being accused.
Now I'm walking away from you,
and I'm not coming back
I don't believe you
And I never will,
Oh I can't live by your side
with the lies you've tried to instil,
I can't take anymore,
I don't have to give you a reason
For leaving this time
Cos this is my last goodbye
I've gotta turn and walk away,
I don't have anything left to say
I haven't already said before
and I've grown tired of being used,
and I'm sick and tired of being accused.
Now I'm walking away from you,
and I'm not coming back
I don't believe you
And I never will,
I can't take anymore,
I don't have to give you a reason
For leaving this time
Cos this is my last goodbye
13.Better Man
There was a time
I had nothing to give
I needed shelter from the storm i was in
And when it all got too heavy
You carried my weight
And i want to hold you
And i want to say
That you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
I said for you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything that i do
I'd be lost, so lost without you
Under the stars
At the edge of the sea
There's no one around
No one but you and me
We'd talk for hours
As time drifts away
I could stay here forver
And hold you this way
Coz you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
I said for you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything that i do
I'd be lost, so lost without you
No no no
Oh I'd be lost, so lost without you
