Counting stars as they fall Takes more time than I’ll toll But it’s worth my time If I can wish you’ll be mine Chorus Never meant to let it get this far Let’s go back to where we were before Back before I ever knew I could sit for days Speaking softly your name Should have held my tongue Precious dreams undone Chorus Never meant to let it get this far Let’s go back to where we were before Back before I ever knew Never meant to let it get this far Let’s go back to where we were before Back before I ever knew I love you Before I knew I love you Before I knew I love you oh, oh yeah Daydreams took command I confessed where I stand Bold or foolish move ‘Cause now I wait for you [Back to top]
Oh I have waited all my life Here to find we’ve run out of time I would beg, there’s no need for pride When our love, love is on the line Chorus I would race against rivers I would swim across seas I would topple the mountains Just to have you with me I would stumble through deserts I would welcome the heat When you’re with me I’m truly complete I would pray to someday see your face And today you are here by grace And now you say that you won’t stay When I’d give years for one more day Chorus Say that morning will not come As we’re chased, chased down by the sun Chorus I would race against rivers I would swim across seas I would topple the mountains Just to have you with me I would stumble through deserts I would welcome the heat When you’re with me I’m truly complete I would push back the clock And I’d hold back the sun Deep in my heart I know We two are one I would soon follow Where ever you go My hearts pleading true oh This you should know This you should know This you should know Oh I have waited all my life [Back to top]
I have never wanted anything as much as I want this I have never fought so hard for a single kiss I'll sacrifice, I'll pay the price, I've given up on being nice give in I can't figure out how you've crept under my skin Maybe I identify with where you've been I've seen the pain, I've given up, I've redefined this thing called love give in Chorus I like where we're going now There's no way you're getting out I'm telling you now honestly Come with me I'll set you free You know I've played this game before And I won't play it anymore No more lies let's tell the truth I just want to be with you Give in You have taken hold of something deep inside of me Maybe I really don't want to be set free I'm liking where you're taking me, this is where I want to be give in Chorus I like where we're going now There's no way you're getting out I'm telling you now honestly Come with me I'll set you free You know I've played this game before And I won't play it anymore I can't figure out how you've crept under my skin Maybe I identify with where you've been I've seen the pain, I've given up, I've redefined this thing called love give in Chorus I like where we're going now There's no way you're getting out I'm telling you now honestly Come with me I'll set you free You know I've played this game before And I won't play it anymore [Back to top]
Hold me, please just hold me Cause I don't know what morning brings Know me, I thought you would know me But each day there's more distance it seems Now it's time to tell the truth I don't feel the way I used to Dreaming and believing That some day it would fall into place Seeing, sorting the feelings Fighting demons that I've never faced Now I can see what I need I don't know if I can be I've wasted too much time settling for what's not right I've got to know if it's enough I've wasted too much time settling for what's not right I've got to know if it's enough, I've got to know if it's enough I've wasted too much time settling for what's not right I've got to know if it's enough I've wasted too much time settling for what's not right I've got to know if it's enough, I've got to know if it's enough, I've got to know if it's enough [Back to top]
I heard a whisper rush Through the limbs And excite the leaves I heard a branch begin to Bend as it was slowly pulled I heard some paper being Skipped 'cross the street The roar followed, Scattered from my reach And it was quiet again I heard it start As my voice is drowned away I heard it start Scattered from my reach I feel the pressure in the entire house I know if I look out The trees will beckon me, Like waves upon a sea, A siren calling out to me I heard it start As it pushes me to go I heard it start It feels so cold I feel like giving in to my sin Can't face my back to the door I might be dragged out, I strike a match I'm scared I didn't want to see this, I didn't want to see this I heard it start Before I was filled with fear I heard it start The terror's in here [Back to top]
So I had that dream again You say that it was just pretend And you reach for my hand Then you start to pull away There is nothing I can say No way to save Chorus You seem so far away Come to me Visit me on this dark night I can’t let you go I’ve been hoping I’ve been praying To find answers somewhere Searching faces Seeing traces Of you when you’re not there Chorus You seem so far away Come to me Visit me on this dark night I can’t let you go I can taste the air And everything is made so clear And still I’m looking everywhere Everything is tangible Somehow all made possible And I close my eyes Chorus You seem so far away Come to me Visit me on this dark night I can’t let you go I can’t let you go [Back to top]
As I walk I stumble So sit back and puzzle How did I get here Content with contentment Tried to see what that meant How did I get here I thought I was trying Always moving, dying Where was that turn Didn’t seem to notice Didn’t read the signpost And now I’m here Chorus I don’t even breathe Take a breath my dear We’ll start here Hidden by the fear Comfort by the lie Wasted all this time Hands I’ve held along the way Frightened that they wouldn’t stay Find another way to hide All I do is waste my time Walking with the dead I’m lost amongst the damned I’ve given up my dream It’s the journey not the destination Never made sense to me All around contentment Always seemed so stagnant And I’m lulled to sleep Unreality is surrounding all of me What do I need [Back to top]
Chorus You’ve been waiting for change for so many days And so I’ve been waiting on you But now I’ve realized that it’s part of your lies So I’m gonna change on you You’ve been waiting for change for so many days And so I’ve been waiting on you But now I’ve realized that it’s part of your lies So I’m gonna change on you For a change we’re through You’ve asked me to wait here While you make up your mind I’ve been patient But you’re running out of time I used to believe That almost perfect was fine But perfect’s waiting out there And he’s not that hard to find Chorus You promised me that garden You gave away the moon Never mind the little things ‘Cause nothing’s changing soon I’ll share the blame here I made a promise too It’s taken far too long to break it But now I’m leaving you Chorus [Back to top]
She’s always waiting for someone Someone to tell her who she’s supposed to be She’s strong enough now to break out Breaking down the walls to honesty And the tide’s about to change As she chants her name Hold on, Hold on, Hold on This ride is about to I’m always hedging my bets here I’ve got my ducks sitting row by row by row Turns out I’m sitting with chickens I’m hanging out with a crowd I truly know And the tide’s about to change It won’t be the same Hold on, Hold on, Hold on This ride is about to start Hold on, Hold on, Hold on This ride is about to start I’m always waiting for someone Someone to tell me to fly away be free This something’s right on my tail now Telling me to open my eyes see As it creeps up on my back I sense an attack Hold on, Hold on, Hold on This ride is about to start Hold on, Hold on, Hold on This ride is about to start It’s electric in the air ‘Cause it’s already here [Back to top]
I get in my car and drive ‘Cause I need to get away Destination doesn’t matter I just need to get away You invade my thoughts And distract me from the path I close my eyes and I see you And I smile when I think of your laugh Chorus I can’t get it out I can’t say enough ’Cause you’re always on my mind I think about your voice And the smell that’s on your clothes I try so hard to forget you ’Cause it’s hard when I see you go Chorus I can’t get it out I can’t say enough ’Cause you’re always on my mind Can’t be any better Than this moment that moment this kiss Can’t seem to explain it ’Cause this feeling’s mysterious Maybe it’s that simple I’ll do anything just ask Once more dear I love you Let’s make it last Let’s make it last Trying dear to tell you ’Cause I want for you to see Just how this obsession Has taken over me Chorus I can’t get it out I can’t say enough ’Cause you’re always on my mind I can’t get it out I can’t say enough ’Cause you’re always on my mind ’Cause you’re always on my mind ’Cause you’re always on my mind ’Cause you’re always on my mind All the time On my mind, All the time [Back to top]
Side by side we sit alone and sign Silent as we change our lives I pretend not to know or see that you’re there It’s my turn to lie Chorus Matter of fact, right here please Matter of fact, we knew Matter of fact, I once loved you Matter of fact, I still do Side by side I am filled with joy and with shame As if I’m to blame Weighted scales and still I begin and end As you do the same Chorus Matter of fact, right here please Matter of fact, we knew Matter of fact, I once loved you Matter of fact, I still do Side by side we’re strangers now and I look away Don’t make me say Better than it’s so unfair and all that remains Is the end of yesterday Chorus Matter of fact, right here please Matter of fact, we knew Matter of fact, I once loved you Matter of fact, I still do [Back to top]
Do you remember how it was the day we met I barely do though I pretend I don’t forget And I asked you, and you asked me, will we be true We swore upon our hearts I’ll always love you Do you remember when we held our heads so close And we told secrets dark the ones we guarded most Our foreheads touching our lips barely making sound Taking care not to betray this sacred ground Chorus I remember how I wanted to be I remember what I wanted to see Don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask me to explain I don’t have the words Do you remember walking underneath the stars You said that they were taken straight from our hearts Your hand was holding mine and we could barely breath You chose that moment there to fall upon your knees Chorus I remember how I wanted to be I remember what I wanted to see Don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask me to explain I don’t have the words So much time has passed that I barely remember All the promises we made Time has clouded our path and I surrendered To the life that was safe Do you remember walking on your own that day Cause I remember how you turned and walked away And I asked you and you asked me, are we still true And we stood silent there as shadows often do Chorus I remember how I wanted to be I remember what I wanted to see Don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask me to explain I don’t have the words [Back to top]
