Ocean
02:40
|

The clouds cam in and covered up the ocean
When the walls caved in there was nobody listening
Counting the wave again, I can’t control the ocean
Watching the waves again, I cannot feel my mind
And there’s only one soldier standing here
You left me along with all my fear
The queen is gone and the corner has been taken
When the world stand still, everybody in slow motion
Counting the waves again, I can’t control the ocean
Watching the waves again, I can’t control emotion
And there’s nothing sacred, nothing clear
When there’s only one voice that I want to hear
Stay with me, come on and stay with me
If only just for a while
You see that all my life is wrapped in your green eyes
And I cannot see them in my eyes
Stay with me, come on and stay with me
If only just for a while
You see that all me life is wrapped in your green eyes
And I cannot see them as you fly
As you fly

Rocketeer
04:19
|

Small room, I’m thinking
I’m only gonna guess where we’re going to
With a mind made up so you can gather speed real soon
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Gotta make my way back to you
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Going over your head fairly soon
It’s a mean one, somehow I’ve gotten myself inside this tomb
If I sit here, for too long, they’re only gonna find me dead in a room
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Gotta make my way back to you
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Going over your head fairly soon
She’s of a criminal mind
Sweeping the past behind the lines
Baby she sees the light
And if it’s easier tonight
To think that the answers come so much easier from behind the lines
Maybe you might be right
You just might be right tonight
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Gotta make my way back to you
I’m like a Rocketeer now
Going over your head fairly soon

Wrestle It Out
04:45
|
|||
She’s the one who wakes in the morning
Cuts her hair on glass
To be free
It’s the mediocre mind that jumps about and defeats me
Making me ill at ease
So it seems
Will we wrestle it out?
Jump out of windows and houses
To runaway
To what awaits us
She’s the one who proves in an instance just what she is made of
She’s queen
It’s the Minnesota mile that drives me down from the mountain
Kickin my ass in time
Set me free
Will we wrestle it out?
Jump out of windows and houses
To runaway
To what awaits us
To what saves us
To survive
Or will it break us

Lead Astray
05:36

For all the good reasons I’m looking out to sea
You like to stand close to everyone
Then lean into me
I’m am the sun
I’m the one, I am the one, I am the one who’s lonely
So Baby come over and tuck yourself in next to me
Basically I’ve been alone here everyday
You’ve seen my face in the window: give me away
I will cut you down small enough to fit in my hand
Take away everything you think you are
Let you forget you can stand
Lonely sit by under trees and I’ll meditate high
At my wits end it’s just easier to sit down and cry
Cause nobody takes the place of the hole in my heart
Over and over again I will try for a start
I am the one that you cling to everyday
You’ve seen my face in the window: give me away
I will cut you down small enough to fit in my hand
Take away everything you think you are
Let you forget you can stand
I am the one who knows you dear
Then cruelly forgets you
I am the one keeping the lion back from the stand
Come over get next to me, if you think that you can
I will be everything everywhere
Drawing a line in the sand
Lately I come to you with the only thing that I have
A cutout little hole in my heart that cannot be replaced with sand
But I keep trying, I’m trying, I’m trying all over again
What can you give me to fix
This is only an innocent demand
I am the one that you’ve captured inside a shell
You’d like to think you know me and maybe you do as well
I’m the face in the window I give myself away
I’m gonna cut you down
I’m gonna lead you astray

This Time
03:35
|

This time, there will be a road that opens easily up for me
This time, I will find my answers on my own
Now that you are gone
Oh love, love, for love
I’ll be doing it for love, love, for love
All my love
Nobody tells you about the roads that lead you up and down
All of us in this little town
We come and go
And for so many years I’ve been drifting around in other peoples days
Oh baby I’ve got to find my own way
Oh love, love, for love
I’ll be doing it for love, love, for love
All my love
Faceless I am not - I don’t know what you mean by it
Faceless I am not - I tell you I exist
Faceless I am not - I don’t know what you mean by it
Saving up all my pennies for a rainy day
Saving up all my pennies for a rainy day
Saving up everything I have for another day
Oh love, love, for love
I’ll be doing it for love, love, for love
All my love

Shine A Light
04:21
|
|||
I know when the truth comes
It will settle down upon my heart
Reach over and blanket me
In all its warmth
Patiently I wait and wonder
While I work out what went wrong
Have I lived my life to the fullest extent?
Or have I done it all wrong?
Chorus:
So send a light that shines all over me
When at night I am so afraid
It will come and rescue me
What pours out of me is nothing less than sacred
And what comes out of my song is the secret to my soul
I should’ve done better is what I say to myself
When no one else is around
Spending hours of my day beating myself into the ground
Chorus
Help me, help me, help me
When the rain falls down and washes over me
Help me, help me, help me
Because I can’t see what standing in front of me
I know there’ll be times when I’ll spend hours of my day
No one will catch me thinking my life away
When no one would notice I’d be sitting around
Dealing with my pain
You were the one who finally came around
And took it all the way
You send light that shines all over me
When at night I am so afraid you will come and rescue me
Send a light that shines all over me
When at night I am so afraid it will come and rescue me

Waiting For You
02:46
|
|||
Rein it in, holding back your heart
I was reining it in, at the start
Just because you weary doesn’t mean you fall a part
Baby, tell me that you’re fine
I will be holding down the phone and waiting on the line
I will always be around whether you are lost or you are found
Baby, only for you
Baby, I’m waiting for you
Just because you’re weary doesn’t mean you follow through
Baby, tell me that it’s true
I will be longing for your touch, holding out for you
I will capture all the sunlight as it comes into the room
Baby, only for you
Baby, I’m waiting for you
I will capture all the sunlight as it comes into the room

Beautiful Tonight
04:44
|
|||
Baby who am I to say?
There will be questions running straight on through the day
Nobody’s listening here and no one knows your name
But you look beautiful tonight
I am the restless one and cannot close my eyes
There will be questions running straight into the night
Nobody knows my name and know sees my eyes
But I look beautiful tonight
So baby, hold me, save me, straight through the rest of the night
Cause when the sun comes it reminds me that there is safety in all it’s light
Baby who are you around
Who are the friends are calling?
Are they back in town?
Nobody knows your names and no one hears your sound
But you look beautiful tonight
I do not want the hands that seem to tie my down
If I have questions calling, can I back them down?
I do not know your name or do I know your sound
But you look beautiful tonight
So baby, hold me, save me, straight through the rest of the night
Cause when the sun comes it reminds me that there is safety in all it’s light
So baby, hold me, save me, straight through the rest of the night
Cause when the sun comes it’s here to tie me and to save me with all it’s light
Baby now what you want to say
Have you decided that you’ll never get away
And if they come for you, are you gonna stay?
Cause you look beautiful tonight
Nobody sees me now and no one knows my sound
If I get questioned here will I back them down
Nobody knows me here and no one knows my sound
But I look beautiful tonight
So baby, hold me, save me, straight through the rest of the night
Cause when the sun comes it reminds me that there is safety in all it’s light
So baby, hold me, save me, straight through the rest of the night
Cause when the sun comes it’s here to find me with it’s safety and all it’s light
You look beautiful

Righteous My Love
03:42
|

Come to me baby
Won’t come to me?
I’d give anything at all to wrap my head around your fall
Can’t you see we’re in love
And baby it’s sweet relief
With my hands and both my eyes
Rocked my boat and halt my life
You are everything
You are wild and free
Once again my love together
We can shine as a rule forever
We can shine
Come to me
Restless and anxious are we
I’d give anything to see you hold your own like you need to
Come to me with miracles
Baby dance with me
I know everyone is looking around
Knowing some days we’re lost
Some days we’re found
Ohhh how dare we be happy
Care free and laughing
You and me
Oooh all the stars in the sky are shining down on we
Giving us light in all direction
Giving us all that we need
There I saw you standing there alone in my atmosphere
Hacking the dance around
Wearing you high heels and kickin em down
Goodness my love
Practice my love
Get it right this time
Make it righteous this time
And ooh all right, all right, all right

What I Want
04:56
|

Crystal clear with a pistol in the air
I cover my eyes and release everything I got
With a fist in the air
Shake like I don’t care
No matter what they say
Hell gonna break loose soon here anyway
So someone bring fun
A whole lot of music
That’s good for everyone
It’s about love
That includes sun
That’s good for everyone
Baby’s gonna cry
Hold your head up high
Cast those tears to the sun
Remember someone’s watching over you
Oh and the shit’s gonna fly
Hold your head up high
No matter what they say
Hell’s gonna break loose soon here anyway
Cause it’s about fun
A whole lot of music
That’s good for everyone
It’s about love
That includes sun
That’s good for everyone
Crystal clear with a pistol in the air
I cover my eyes and release everything I got
With a fist in the air
Shake like I don’t care
No matter what they say
Hell gonna break loose soon here anyway
So someone bring fun
A whole lot of music – that’s what I want
It’s about love
That includes sun – that’s what I want
You wanna give your heart away
Don’t ever tell them your gonna stay
Baby let your tears fall down
I’m always going to be around
Give your heart away
Stay if you want to stay
Don’t let your tears fall down
I’m always going to be around
Cause that’s what I want
