1.The Beginning
If I could start from the beginning,
create the oceans and the cities
Light the sky with a million lights,
illuminate the darkest nights
If I could start from the beginning
The moon will rise and the sun will fall,
onto the beat of our favorite songs
We'd be the king and queen of this never ending dream
If we could start from the beginning
2.Like a Million Lights
You stutter at the thought of being taken back,
to all the times we would grow to know
We never should have let this go
We used to lay and watch the sun go down, beneath this town
You send the shivers to my core,
I was beggin' for your love and more
Thinking back to when everything fell away
I found a little piece of comfort in a song and we would sing
If I could start from the beginning,
create the oceans and the cities
Light the sky with a million lights,
illuminate the darkest nights
If I could start from the beginning
You told me that everything would be okay
When we'd stay up late and conversate
On all our love we had at stake
And now I lay and watch the sun but it's not much fun
Cause I've never been alone before,
not beggin' for your love no more
Thinking back to when everything fell away
I found a little piece of comfort in a song
If I could start from the beginning,
create the oceans and the cities
Light the sky with a million lights,
illuminate the darkest nights
If I could start from the beginning
The moon would rise and the sun would fall
All to the beat of our favorite songs
We'll be the king and queen of this never ending dream
If we could start from the beginning
So do I let go of everything that I know
Reoccurring dreams, it's so routine, just stay here with me
These lonely summer days and the time we spent away
If we could start from the beginning
If I could start from the beginning,
create the oceans and the cities
Light the sky with a million lights,
illuminate the darkest nights
If I could start from the beginning
If I could start from the beginning,
create the oceans and the cities
Light the sky with a million lights,
illuminate the darkest nights
If I could start from the beginning
3.Tides
My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
On a cool summer night as we lay on your bedroom floor
And my hands, they slide down your back like sinking ships, to
your hips
And the weight of my world crashes in for one last kiss
Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing
As our love sets sail, you know you can't be afraid to steer
(Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in)
With our hands raised high, we'll wave goodbye to this town my
dear
(Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing)
Now we're off on our own and a cannon, it's bombs away
(Now we're off on our own and a cannon, it's bombs away)
Oh, we'll scream to the shore of our love
and our glory one day, and we'll say
Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing
We're going under with one gasp we'll say, this will never wash
away
And the tide's rolling in like a one-man army
And it's trying to tell me we're finished before we started
This will never wash, this will never wash away
This will never wash, this will never wash away
This will never wash, this will never wash away
And the weight of my world crashes in for one last kiss, and
we'll say
Time is on our side, you know we're sinking in
Into this ocean of love, we're barely breathing
We're going under with one gasp we'll say, this will never wash
away
(My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
On a cool summer night as we lay on your bedroom floor)
My heart hits like the waves from the ocean to the shore
4.Reflections
We see ourselves in the water,
your reflection's telling me we'll make it through
And no one will ever touch us,
cause that's what love will do
Tell me everything you feel now,
as I lay right here with you
I'll be the shoulder when you're crying,
cause that's what love should do
I know we swore not to talk about it
You know your beauty is a killer,
that's why I die right here with you
If only you felt the same way too,
with this love we'll make it through
I know we swore not to talk about it,
but enough is enough, I'm so tired of not sleeping
And I can't stand the heat of these god awful sheets
If I can't fall asleep to your breathing
If I can't fall asleep to your breathing
That's what love will do, that's what love should do
With this love we'll make it through, with this love
5.Just Breathe
Sorry but sometimes playing the role and living the part,
are just two separate things
We can let the show go on all night
But it doesn't mean a thing if we don't believe
Show me something real,
something more than Friday nights and sex appeal
Cause I've been dying just to make an entrance
Trying just to not forget this
Just breathe and release all the fears
that we've had all these years I swear
if we take a little time
Just breathe whoa, just breathe whoa
One moment's all we need
You could barely tell me it was getting hard to speak
You lost your lines somewhere behind glassy eyes and rosy cheeks
One moment, one love One breath could be more than enough
One moment, one love
Just breathe and release all the fears
that we've had all these years I swear
if we take a little time
Just breathe whoa, just breathe whoa
One moment's all we need
One moment, one love One breath could be more than enough
(Cause I've been dying just to make an entrance)
One moment, one love (Trying just to not forget this)
Just breathe and release all these fears
that we've had all these years I swear
it'll take a little time
Just breathe and release all the fears
that we've had all these years I swear
if we take a little time
Just breathe whoa, just breathe whoa
One moment's all we need
Just breathe One moment's all we need
6.Dear Carolina
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
You said you'd be in Carolina,
but I knew I'd only find you
Writing letters and telling your closest friends, is just too
much
But we both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough, halfhearted promises
Oh I've had more than enough
I said I've had more than, I've had more than enough
I know you never meant to say
that everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
and you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
And drop the act, let's not pretend
We won't ever have back then or feel like this again
We both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough,
of these pointless arguments
Oh I've had more than enough
Yeah I've had more than, I've had more than enough
I know you never meant to say
that everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
and you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
You said you'd be in Carolina,
but I knew I'd only find you
Writing letters and telling your closest friends is just too
much
But we both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough, halfhearted promises
I know you never meant to say
that everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
I know you never meant to say
that everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
and you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
