WAITING FOR THE SKY TO FALL
I am lying on the rooftop staring up into the night
I am searching through the stars for the one I am designed
When will you appear to me, as an angel without wings?
When will you fall from the sky?
Making star-maps of your body
Will your galaxy surround me tonight?
Oh, tonight

Now I gaze into the moonlight wishing you were over me
I could never let myself believe in serendipity
I’m so tired of being lonely
Would you flicker just to show me?
I’ll stay awake all night
Then together we could make out
But I can’t quite make your face out of the sky
I just need a sign

Where will I find you?
I will be waiting, shedding my precious energy
Silent stars don’t speak at all
But, I’ll be waiting for the sky to fall
Or, until you fall to me
Baby, please fall

There’s 100 billion stars, and all I want is one to fall
To fill this barren, empty space beside my body and the wall
We can dream without sleeping
Get to know you without speaking
If you could be so kind
We could bounce around the stars
Plan a weekend trip to mars
I could take you anywhere you want

Where will I find you?
I will be waiting, shedding my precious energy
Silent stars don’t speak at all
But, I’ll be waiting for the sky to fall
Or, until you fall to me
Baby

Search the world around to find you
Just to wake up right beside you
It’s your kiss that I am craving
Will you be waiting?
Anticipating?
Shedding your precious energy, only to find me?
Just give me the timing
Oh, would you waste your time with me?

I’m staring down the atmosphere
I’ll be making star-maps of your body
Will your galaxy surround me tonight?
Tonight, I will be waiting for you

Where will I find you?
I will be waiting, shedding my precious energy
Silent stars don’t speak at all
But, I’ll be waiting for the sky to fall
Or, until you fall
You know I would crawl to you
Only if you fall to me
Please fall

FEELS SO FINE
I don't have to wait
Because she's always standing at my front door
She gives me all her love
Who could ever ask for anything more?
I savor the way that she likes to be

She's with me tonight
I know she's with me tonight
And I feel so fine, she loves me
And she's always on my side

I don't really know
Exactly what she likes about me
But I hold her, oh, so close
She's everything I'm ever gonna need
And I savor the that she likes to be

She's with me tonight
I know she's with me tonight
And I feel so fine, she loves me
And she's always on my side

Shes got me swimmin' in emotion
I'll never let this feeling disappear
Oh, but it will everytime, I'm lost
I'll never let this go again
No, I'll never let this go at all

She's with me tonight
I know she's with me tonight
And I feel so fine, she loves me
And she's always on my side
She's always on my side
She'll always be on my side
She's always on my side

4TH OF JULY
Light hits the sky
Reminding me of you last time
But I still see your eyes
Forever fixed on this amazing

Fireworks display with such delight
Last time

Fourth of July
I'm wishing you were here with me this time
But you leave me surprised
Now all alone I gaze above
Entranced by this illuminated night
Let's turn back time
Tonight, let's turn back time to Fourth of July

Here we'd lay
Alone at last we kiss the night away
As the band would play
We're lying under this array

Of every color splashing in my face
Let's turn back time
Embracing all our fondest memories
Fourth of July
With me last July

On the field where we would lay
All the children here still play
While these rockets crash into this starlit backdrop
Somehow it doesn't feel the same
Let's turn back time
Let's turn back time

Oh, last July

A PERFECT SKY

Angel in heaven, answer my prayers
I've met my match, I'm helpless, I swear
Oh, deep in your eyes, a fire-fight
Oh, like we're soldiers warring on the same side

I need more time to open up
Don't quit me now, I've just begun
Teach me to love, teach me to kill
Give me your life, and your heart to fill
In your eyes, I find a perfect sky tonight

I'll be longing for your kiss
The trigger is locked onto your lips

I need more time to open up
Don't quit me now, I've just begun
Teach me to love, teach me to kill
Give me your life, and your heart to fill
Oh, in your eyes, I find a perfect sky tonight

I need more time to open up
Don't quit me now, I've just begun
Teach me to love, teach me to kill
Give me your life, and your heart to fill
Oh, in your eyes, I'll find you waiting
In your eyes, I'll find a perfect sky
I'll find you waiting
In a perfect sky tonight
I'll find you

SECRET (FINGERSTYLE VERSION)

In the dark, I stumble ‘round
There you are, you’ve found me now
For tonight, we can hide
No one will ever know, so don’t you be shy
Don’t you be shy

We can roll around until the sun appears
And then maybe just a little more, until I disappear
I never thought that I would ever be in love with you
It’s a shame I’ve got to leave
Cause I don’t wanna leave

Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul

We’re friends to them, if they only knew
Where I’ve been, and the crazy things we do
I’ll try my best to shed this skin
But you're my sweet surprise, covered in sin
I’ll never hold you in

Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul
We can never tell a soul

In your room, flat to the bed
It might be wrong, but baby, I don't care
Cause when we're done, we're friends again
So, let's contain ourselves if we can
Oh, I don't know if I can
Until then let's make believe

Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment fells so right inside
But we can never tell a soul I'm here
Tonight you're mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul
We can never tell a soul
I'll never tell a soul
No, we can never, never, never tell
I’ll never tell a soul
No, no, no

YOU'RE SO INNOCENT
So, what’s running through your mind?
I can see it in your eyes

That there’s something you’re conspiring
Don’t you even try to hide it
So coincidental how you’ve got us cuddled by the fire

Put on your smile
You’ve got me now, exactly where you want me
Where you want me
You’re not so innocent after all
But, maybe that’s the way I like you
You’re not so innocent after all

Baby, we can drink some wine
My eyes are cashed already

And it’s barely even nine, well
I’ll be your innocent desire
You’ve got me where you want me

Did you really think I'd mind?

I know your style
You’ve got me now exactly where you want me
Where you want me

You’re not so innocent after all
Did you really think I'd be complaining?
You’re not so innocent after all, yeah

So c’mon baby, lets go crazy
No one will believe the way we
Make each other feel tonight
We’re right beside the candlelight
The fireplace is burning out
It’s way too late to turn back now
We’re smashed again inside your room
When all you really had to do was
Put on your smile
You’ve got me now exactly where you want me
Oh, baby, I love your style
You’re not so innocent after all
But, maybe that’s the way I like you
You’re not so innocent after all
So c’mon baby, lets go crazy now
Put on your smile

Instrumental

SAY ANYTHING
I sit and wonder
Wonder about you baby
So much to say, but there's so much left unsaid
I really want to hold you, I really, really do
Maybe if I wait around just long enough

You'll open up, so I can climb inside your head

Hey, just say anything to me, before I leave
Oh, honey, please say anything at all, before I'm gone

You've got the answers
They're waiting on your tongue
So much to say, but there's so much, so much left unsaid

Hey, just say anything to me, before I leave
Honey, please say anything at all, before I'm gone

Only you can try to help yourself
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe you need some time, or maybe someone else

Just say anything to me, before I leave
Ooh, honey, just say anything at all, before I'm gone

Speak to me, please say anything to me, 'fore I leave

Oh, please say anything at all, before I'm gone

Say anything to me

CROSS YOUR HEART
I wish I could read your mind
Then I could figure out just why you lie
You say that you'll have the time
But once again I'm stranded here to die for all your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burning to the end

But once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again

I'm right here, but all your friends
They always thought that you were all alone
You stand me up, and you blow me off
Oh, why I even bother Is unknown
Oh, all your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burning to the end

But once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again

You're swearing on your grave
But once again it's getting late
I know I won't hear from you in days

All your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burnin' to the end

And once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again
Tonight I set us up a moonlight dinner for two by candlelight
But you'll never know how sweet I am
You never even gave me a chance

STOP THE WORLD
Is this real love, or some kind of dream?
'Cause you're right here, but just out of reach
I try to feel, I struggle to breathe
Like I'm running in place, but I can't move my feet
I'm begging you please

Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again

Is this real, or just make believe?
I'm after you, but you've got your lead
Now I ask myself over and over again what's gone wrong?
Run away

Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again
And I need to find some way to feel
I need you, oh
Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again
Take my heart, take my soul
Take anything you want
All I am, all I was
You've got me turning and turning out
All I want is to feel anything, everything
All that is you

PERMANENT HAZE
Well here we are, such a beautiful face
Last night was a blur, like a permanent haze
I feel like a wreck

Baby, won't you please explain all the marks on my neck
And my present state
Were we together?
I can't quite remember
All I need is your name

The last thing I saw, was you staring at me
Those devilish eyes, there I was, head over feet
But all that you really wanted

Was something to put the past behind you and nothing more
But now you grab up your clothes

And you run like hell for the door

Now that I've found you with my arms around you
I don't know your name, the whiskey's to blame
I'll show you the real me, only if you let me
All I need is your name

My lips taste of sweet
I knew that you'd be
I got my hopes up for you
Guess you're stronger than me
But I just wanted more than everything you could give
Why do I always want more?
You left your whole world on my head
All on my head

Honey, I thought you were perfect, I thought you were worth it
I don't know your name, the whiskey's to blame
I'll never know what could be,
Oh, would it be anything more than a fling, tell me baby?
I know there's a reason, but there's no reason
Oh, no, there's no reason

CAN'T STOP (IT FEELS SO RIGHT)

I remember when we danced together barefoot in the sand
I never saw you in my dreams

Without you I could never love again
You drive me crazy when I'm kissing you

I get those butterflies

I picked you up the other day

You wore the same thing as the day before
It doesn't matter 'cause you know

Your clothes will always end up on the floor
I know that looks like the wrong thing to do
But when I'm with you it feels so right

It feels so right to step outside
And have your fingers locked to mine
As an endless sea of stars is outshined by our love

Believe when I say the things I do

Cause you're so damn sweet
When I'm with you

I could never look at anyone the way you look at me
You know I dream, cause it's the best I can do
But when I'm with you, it feels so right

It feels so right to step outside
And have your fingers locked to mine
As an endless sea of stars is outshined by our love

Yeah, I know you're stuck on him
Just accept the complements I give you
Cause lately I've seen just one place that's deep inside you
Where you could leave it all behind you
No one's ever gonna show you how you're supposed to love
And no one's ever gonna show you how to rise above
With every lesson learned from our mistakes
And with the friends we make when friendships break

And everytime you wanna hit the brakes and make it stop
And other times you wanna hit rewind, reverse the clock
When you're lookin' for answers that no one knows
There's no use to look for love when your eyes are closed

So, open wide, baby, don't be shy
There's no reason for you to be so scared
You can cry, you know it's okay
Just let me be the one to wipe away all those tears
I just can't stand to look at you and try to act
As if we never did a thing in your room that night
I never planned to have you wrapped around my finger
The way your thought consumes my mind

Without you here to hold you tight
What if I never felt anything at all?
I never fell this hard before
A love, she couldn't ask for more
You know 'cause it feels so right

It feels so right to step outside
And have your fingers locked to mine
As an endless sea of stars is outshined by our love
Oh, our love, love is all you need
This time it's love

LUCKY

You’re across the sea
Somehow you’re still with me
You just make believe I’ll be your everything

And I know I’m the lucky one
Yeah, I know I’m the lucky one
Do you dream of a better love
When you know I’m the only one?

Why are you still here, when I’m the one who always leaves you?

All without a care, and you wait your whole life for me

And I know I’m the lucky one
Yeah, I know I’m the lucky one
Do you dream of a better love
When you know I’m the only one?
And you know I'm the only one

Do you dream of me when I’m here?

And I’m waiting for the sound of your voice
Do I really have a choice?
Now I'm ready for you
Until then…do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream?
Tell me please
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Tell me please, please
I'm the only one
Oh, do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love,
When you know I'm the only one
I'm the only one
I'm the only one

SURRENDER (DYING IN YOUR ARMS)

Your smile is like a thousand camera flash
Like a picture that'll never fade out
Your mouth
Nothin' sweeter than your kiss
The way your words, they just seem to spill out
My sweet surrender
I give myself to you
To you

Your tongue, with the softest spoken words
But with the actions that'll speak so loud
Your voice, always soothing to my ears
When you sing those lullabies
My sweet surrender
I give myself to you
my sweet surrender
Devour me with one kiss
You enrapture me

Your lips are so deadly to the touch
But the sweetest poison's never enough
Your kiss, oh, your kiss
My sweet surrender
I give myself to you
My sweet surrender
Won't you capture me

I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
I'll be dying in your arms
Your thought is the web I'm tangled in
I'm a slave to you

MAKE THE CIRCLE STRAIGHT (LIVE TECHNO REMIX)
All this time I've spent walkin' 'round in circles
I wanna make this circle straight
Today, never sure where I should be
But I know I've got to leave this place, this state
Make a moment set to last, time is burning away so fast
So fast, Cannot bear this any longer
Growing weak instead of stronger

I wanna turn around and change my way
And I've got to find a way to make this circle straight
Make the circle straight

Now it's time to give a use to what you gave me
'Fore I throw it all away, to shame
When I'm taking destiny, turn it into a tragedy

I wanna turn around and change my way
And I've got to find a way to make this circle straight
Make the circle straight
Right now
My world is turning 'round
It's turning upside down
Will I run in place forever?
These hands of mine
These hands of time
The hands of time move so slow
Oh, they move so slow
They move so slow
Oh, they move so slow
They move so slow
So slow, so slow, so slow, so slow, so slow
So slow
They move so slow
I wanna turn around and change my way
And I've got to find a way to make this circle straight

THE LONG DAY IS OVER
The long day is over, the good times have past
And there's nothing left to say
Now I look around, and nothing has changed
But your eyes don't read the same

You got my mind to turn upside down, with just one stare
I can dress you up, I can take you out, but you just don't care anymore
What for? I try and try again
'Cause I live only to be with you

Look at the time, where's it gone?
Seems like yesterday came and went
Now summer's gone cold, and I'm getting old
But, I won't write you off quite yet

You got my mind to turn upside down, with just one stare
I can dress you up, I can take you out, but you just don't care anymore
What for? I try and try again
'Cause I live only to be with you

I'm a shooting star
You can wish upon me anytime you want
Now I feel my powers gone
Freefall straight into your heart
Steal your heart tonight

On this cloud that you left me on
And I'm never coming back down
'Cause it feels so right to hold you so tight
But you never, ever make a sound
What for? I try and try again
But I live only to be with you
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
And I'll love you over and over
Over and over
Over and over again

Alternate ending:
You can tell me anything you wanna tell me, baby
God knows I'll always be listening
'Cause anything you do to me will always make perfect sense
Oh why, tell me why
It's like I don't give a damn about the world no more
I'm always crazy in love with the enemy
When I've crossed the line and everyone sees my demise
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, not a damn thing
I'll tell you I've tried just to get it right
But you always make it right
And I live only to be with you
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
And I'll love you over and over again
