Verse 1: Can we go back to the beginning when we were winning? Can we go back to where it started to where you carted off all of my heart you swept me away Pre-Chorus: Can we go back to the beginning? Can we go back to the beginning? Verse 2: Can we go back to springtime blooming like our young love before the feuding Take us back to cleansing showers that cooled, empowered new growth I gotta know Pre-Chorus: Can we go back to the beginning? Can we go back to the beginning? Chorus: Do you want me? Do you miss me? Do you long to kiss me? Do you dream of me? Do you think of me? Do you reach for me? Can't we go back to the beginning Take me back to the beginning Verse 3: Can we go back to summer dancing under the starlight in the moonlight Take me back to skinny dipping Rock skipping Fishing on the creek trickling through those seemingly endless days of sunlight with you Pre-Chorus: Can we go back to the beginning? Can we go back to the beginning? Chorus: Do you want me? Do you miss me? Do you long to kiss me? Do you dream of me? Do you think of me? Do you reach for me? Can't we go back to the beginning Take me back to the beginning Bridge: When harvest came, we changed What happened? Our lives rearranged Changing colors As it got colder, so did you Pre-Chorus: Can we go back to the beginning? Can we go back to the beginning? Chorus: Do you want me? Do you miss me? Do you long to kiss me? Do you dream of me? Do you think of me? Do you reach for me? Can't we go back to the beginning Take me back to the beginning Coda: When harvest came, we changed What happened?

Verse 1: When we first met, there was an instant spark Like fireworks inside my heart The thought of you really wanting me seemed pretty far-fetched It seemed like a stretch Yet here we are Verse 2: When you confessed that you couldn’t look at me Cause it felt like you couldn’t breathe You thought I’d disappear Leave you in the clear But you’d always have that itch, that need You couldn’t unsee What you’d seen When you looked at me Chorus: When two stars collide An explosion ripples ‘cross the sky When two stars collide Energy keeps rolling Waves like the ocean tide You get me high When two stars collide We found peace inside the fire You take me higher Passion we can’t deny Nothing else can satisfy After you and I Nothing else can satisfy Verse 3: We’re taking new paths Your destiny-another galaxy We’re wearing new hats And holding secrets too precious to keep In the depths of my soul There’s a hunger I can’t control It’s like a black hole Only you can cure Chorus: When two stars collide An explosion ripples ‘cross the sky When two stars collide Energy keeps rolling Waves like the ocean tide You get me high When two stars collide We found peace inside the fire You take me higher Passion we can’t deny Nothing else can satisfy After you and I Nothing else could satisfy

Verse 1: Staring at the reflections in the table top Occasionally glancing up Hoping he doesn’t catch Me looking I watch out the window panes every night And he walks in, dead on 9 He’s the only reason why I stop by This little bar in Brooklyn And every time he’s near It’s spectacular Everything I fear Dissapears And for a brief moment, I feel no stress Like a shot of happiness But then he’s gone at the stroke of ten And I’m alone in this city once again Chorus: How is my heart so hooked In a crowded room, with just one look I know he’d feel the same I gotta catch his eye, cause all it takes Is just one look, just one look What will it take for you to see I’m over here Please notice me Just one look Just one look Please look over here We were meant to be I know it’s true cause Every night I look at you, it feels the same And when you disappear, it’s a funny-kind of pain I just wish you’d notice me Just one look-I’m begging please Verse 2: A shattered timeline of fantasies I’m loosing touch of reality Often dreaming of what we-could be When our eyes finally meet Reminding myself I don’t even know you But it don’t feel the same, like a stranger I know with you-that there’s no danger Chorus: How is my heart so hooked In a crowded room, with just one look I know he’d feel the same I gotta catch his eye, cause all it takes Is just one look, just one look What will it take for you to see I’m over here Please notice me Just one look Just one look Please look over here We were meant to be I know it’s true cause Every night I look at you, it feels the same And when you disappear, it’s a funny-kind of pain I just wish you’d notice me Just one look-I’m begging please Just one look, oh Just one look

Verse 1: Sometimes the universe slams a door in your face just to shove you out a window Sometimes the pace throws you so off balance you don’t know which way to go Sometimes you know you gotta go but you don’t know where it’s leading and your aching heart keeps bleeding Sometimes you know you’re alone Pre-Chorus: I didn’t understand how much disappointment came with risk I never understood how much pain and climbing it would take and how much I would miss Chorus: But I keep on moving oh I keep on walking slow I take another step every day- In the sun and in the rain I keep on going oh keep doing something whatever I know to do even if it’s wrong and i lose I keep moving Oh… I keep moving Oh… I keep moving Oh… Verse 2: Sometimes the people you love They don’t understand where you are or where you’ve been the place you want to belong might not be the right fit no matter how hard you try to make it Pre-Chorus: Sometimes you gotta laugh cause if you don’t you’re gonna cry Sometimes the thing you gotta do is just dance through the rain and don’t ask why Chorus: You keep on moving Oh Keep on walking slow Take another step every day in the sun or in the pouring rain Keep on going oh Keep doing something whatever you know to do even if it’s wrong and you lose Keep on moving Oh… Keep on moving Oh… Keep on moving Oh Bridge: I’ll spread these broken wings and fly Like an eagle they can’t follow i’m too high Oh Chorus: I keep on moving oh I keep on walking slow I take another step every day in the sun or in the pouring rain I keep on going oh Keep doing something whatever i know to do even if I’m wrong and i lose I keep moving Oh… i keep moving Oh… I keep moving Oh.. I keep on moving

Verse 1: When it all seems lost And all you feel is pain The sandcastles you’ve built They’ve been washed away In the light of day In the light of day In the light of day In the light of day When the plans you’ve made They’re interrupted by the rain And the secret wishes you keep tucked inside—Seem to betray you They make you wanna hide Pre-Chorus: You’ve gotta believe there’s more to life Than playing it safe—coloring inside the lines Chorus: I’ve gotta believe there’s hope in the hurt I’ve gotta believe there’s more than the drive and the work and the thirst There’s hope in the hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt There's Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Verse 2: When I’ve told myself—it seems a million times To believe those pretty lies—to believe the thoughts I’ve paid for them to put inside But I know they’re not mine No, I know they're not mine Pre-Chorus: I've gotta believe there’s more to life Than playing it safe—coloring inside the lines Chorus: I’ve gotta believe there’s hope in the hurt I’ve gotta believe there’s more than the drive and the work and the thirst There’s hope in the hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt There's Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Bridge: There’s gotta be a reason—they put all their disease on me There’s gotta be a reason—maybe so I could help set others free Pre-Chorus: I've gotta believe there’s more to life Than playing it safe—coloring inside the lines Chorus: I’ve gotta believe there’s hope in the hurt I’ve gotta believe there’s more than the drive and the work and the thirst There’s hope in the hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt There’s hope in the hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt Hope in the Hurt There’s hope in the hurt

Verse 1: When I’m Gone, Will it even matter? Will you notice if I leave you a letter? When I’m gone, will your life get better? When I try to fix things, you just get madder. When I’m gone, will you notice? Will you feel a change inside, or are you too broken? When I’m gone, will you regain focus? See the truth that is your life-find something to hope in? Chorus 1: When I’m gone, will you even care? Does it have to be me or just live and breathe and be there? When I’m gone, will you even see, What you did to me, or will you just blame me and not care? About how hard I tried and all the pain inside of me? Verse 2: With me gone, will you start searching, For another one, a girl who’ll fall fast for your flirting? With me gone, will you start working? Or will she pay for all your shit and take all your burdens? Chorus 2: With me gone, will you ever change? Or will you play the stupid games you always play? With me gone, will you ever stop, All the lies and lines that always tied me up? Bridge: I thought I loved you, more than my own life. I thought I needed you, to bring me to the light. I thought the passion, we had could never die, But as it turns out, it was only mine. Verse 3: With you gone, I have choices. Do I live with all this pain, or just die hopeless? With you gone, I’ve started working, On the wounds so deep inside, I’m scared I’m too broken. Chorus 3: With you gone, I’m starting to see, That falling fast and hard for you was all on me. With you gone, I can finally see myself for who I was and am and who I want to be. With you gone, since you’re gone...I’m finding me...

Verse 1: Listening to love songs They’re dancing through my head Wondering what went wrong Lying alone here in this big brass bed This room feels so empty When once it felt so full No indent in your pillow These sheets just feel so cold The pitter patter of the rain On the window pane Reminds me of playful kisses You once sprinkled ‘cross my face I’ll never know how I got so petty When you were always so steady I could have had you every day But I let you slip away Chorus: I held you and you held me Nothing ever ever ever turned my head I held you and you held me I need you here with me To touch, to hold, to embrace I used to hold everything But now I hold the rain Verse 2: Everything has passed me by And I’m sure I know why Watching life unfolding, drifting by, constantly evolving Rivers flow and carry away All the dreams of yesterday Flowing down from peaks to valleys, into an ocean far away Chorus: I held you and you held me Nothing ever ever ever turned my head I held you and you held me I need you here with me To touch, to hold, to embrace I used to hold everything But now I hold the rain Bridge: I feel so lucky to have had such youthful bliss Moments so precious Wish I’d known to savor every kiss Didn’t know that when my arms held you, I held everything Beautiful in the world I was one lucky girl Chorus: I held you and you held me Nothing ever ever ever turned my head I held you and you held me I need you here with me To touch, to hold, to embrace I used to hold everything And now I hold the rain Coda: i’m so lucky, lucky, lucky Staring at the rain, but there’s no pain I held everything I held everything I used to hold everything But now I hold the rain

Time Hurts 03:42
Verse 1: Like the crumbling of the coliseum Once so great, tall, strong, and grand Like the boulders turn to pebbles now Like the bricks that turn to sand Like the weather beaten castles On the cliffs of grassy lands Like shorelines slowly devoured By the lakes on which they play Chorus: Time doesn’t heal all wounds Time can’t heal every bruise Time sometimes makes things worse Time sometimes makes it hurt Verse 2: Like the rains of springtime showers Making way for scorching sun That takes us to the shedding leaves Falling from the trees Leading to freezing, barren, pale, cold, and gray Chorus: Time doesn’t heal all wounds Time can’t heal every bruise Time sometimes makes things worse Time sometimes makes it hurt Coda: Time can’t heal every wound Time can’t heal every bruise Time can make some things worse Time can make some things hurt
12.
Verse 1: It may have started as just a one time thing I may have come in with no expectations But then the words you said-they made me think That maybe there was more to this So now I’m asking Chorus: Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My lover? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My friend? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Together? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My man? Verse 2: So many doubters All these warning words Their good intentions make me wanna push you away But then you’re there-I’m here And there’s no way You pull me near, and I’m with you ’til the dawn of the next day, so Chorus: Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My lover? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My friend? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Together? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My man? Bridge: Now don’t go messing with me Just tell me straight Don’t need no stress in my life Don’t need a date If you can’t move me, really move me Then you’re losing me So step it up Show what you got You gotta prove to me Chorus: That you wanna be That you wanna be That you wanna be My lover That you wanna be That you wanna be That you wanna be More than just a friend That you wanna be That you wanna be That you wanna be Together That you wanna be That you wanna be my man Chorus: Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My lover? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be More than just a friend? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Do you wanna be Together? Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My man? Coda: Do you wanna be Do you wanna be My man? Show me that you can

I Fall 03:12
I loved you I didn’t tell you I didn’t think you wanted me to I didn’t think you’d want me It’s what you said too There was no room It’s just what you do And there was nothing more for me to do But let you go And refuse To fall I swore I’d never fall again I won’t fall I can’t fall I’d never mend But I think I loved you Gave it my best try I try and try to deny And sometimes I just sit and cry I lied I wanted you to be mine And I fall I fall every time I see your eyes look back into mine I fall I fall and swear that I’m fine Every time that you say goodbye I love you I stopped trying To bury what I feel deep inside To stop dreaming of a life with you by my side Though you said again and again that you’re not that kind I’ll always love you Though we’ll both move on I won’t forget You when you’re gone
14.
Verse 1: I've been living independent on my own I've been singing songs all alone I've been dancing through the rain, ignoring the pain I've been distant and unknown I've been taking what I needed and then leaving I've been focused on my pride and my drive I've been achieving, never seeing that I needed anyone But then you came along Pre-Chorus: And you blew me away You came sweeping in like the western wind mm Yeah, you blew me away Now we're falling into step No doubts and no regret Chorus: You make lovin' you easy You make loving you fun You make lovin' you easy And you might be the one Verse 2: I've been hopeless devoted to the dream Wandering from town to town Wandering and never found I've been frightened of a past I can't repeat Never brave enough to take the leap Pre-Chorus: And you blew me away You came sweeping in like the western wind mm Yeah, you blew me away Now we're falling into step No doubts and no regret Chorus: You make lovin' you easy You make loving you fun You make lovin' you easy And you might be the one Bridge: Tonight, I can't help but tell you That I want you by my side Tonight, I can't help but pull you near And ask you to be here for the rest of my life Chorus: You make lovin' you easy You make loving you fun You make lovin' you easy And you might be the one
15.
Cold and gray. We live in a haze. A misty cloud, a fog so dense-that I can’t breathe. Where’d you go? You're not here. When you look at me-You don’t see-anything. When you look at me-I can’t see-anything. Near yet far-Where’s your heart? I swear I felt it beating. Now it’s nothing and mine’s bleeding. You don’t speak, and you don’t hear. You might take what you need, but you don’t ask, and you’re not breathing. Robotic, hypnotic, in a daze A dream-weaver, deceiver, and I’m trapped in the labyrinth-in the maze You’re so calm and so logical-so collected-so methodical And you need me, but you hate me, but you keep me, and you bait me And you need me, but you hate me, but you keep me, and you cage me I don’t believe in love No I don’t believe I don’t see any love-in the world around me I don’t believe in love No I don’t believe I can’t believe in love-when I just watched you leave We were young and so naive We believed-our love could conquer anything We fell fast-and hard-and life Quickly became something I cannot name And the flames grew and the bets raised to heights much too steep for me I don’t believe in love No I don't believe If our love was strong enough You’d still be here with me I don’t believe in love No I don’t believe I can’t believe in love No I can’t believe You-promised to be a dream-come true-who knew You’d-be worse that I could’ve imagined-worse than waking nightmares Worse than the sweet release of nothingness Worse than the taking of-a last breath If you really loved me-you would’ve followed through-and finished me I don’t believe in love No I don’t believe Cause in a world where love was How Could I feel so empty I don’t believe in love No I can’t believe Cause if love-really was Someone could see, something could heal-me

Back to You 03:56
Oh, I know that given the chance I'd go back to you I know that given a glance I'd run back to you back to you those eyes, that hair, that stare it's burned into my mind every time I close my eyes I see that smile that glimmer in your eyes of a secret joke you're telling to me but it all ended that night and you never told me why and yet I know that given the chance I'd go back to you I know that given a glance I'd run back to you back to you You're brilliant mind it kept me guessing on the edge of something new your fingertips tracing rainbows on my skin took me back to a fairy dreamland again but with that morning sunrise I saw the truth of all your lies and yet I know that given the chance I'd go back to you I know that given a glance I'd run back to you back to you chasing after endless dreams that's what I loved most about you when'd you decide to be mean now you're like a scar where I tried to burn off a tattoo of you did you grow bored with me is that why you fled but then held onto me I know that given the chance I'd go back to you I know that given a glance I'd run back to you back to you back to you back to you
