* Incomplete *
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
Chorus:
I try to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby, it's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
(Repeat chorus)
I don't mean to drag it on,
But I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
(Repeat chorus)
...Incomplete
* Just Want You To Know *
Looking at your picture
From when we first met
You gave me a smile that
I could never forget
And nothing I could do
Could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around your finger
Always on my mind
The days would blend
'Cause we stayed up all night
Yeah you and I were everything, everything to me
Chorus:
I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say
I would do it all again
Just want you to know
All the doors are closing
I'm trying to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away
(Repeat chorus)
That since I lost you I lost myself
But I can't fake it there's no one else
(Repeat chorus 2x)
* Crawling Back To You *
Everybody knows that I was such a fool
To ever let go of you, but baby I was wrong
Yeah I know I said we'd be better off alone
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart
I didn't mean to break your heart
But baby here I am
Chorus:
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you
I know you're in there
And you can make me wait
But I'm not gonna wait
It's the least that I can do
Just to tell you face-to-face
I was lying to myself
Now I'm dying in this hell
Girl I know you're mad
I can't blame you for being mad
But baby here I am
(Repeat chorus)
If you can save these tears from crying
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
Hear my heart that's barely beating
You will see a different man
But baby here I am
(Repeat chorus)
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
I was running from the truth
Now I'm crawling back to you
Now I'm crawling back to you
(Crawling back to you)
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you
* Weird World *
Hey hey hey
The sun is over the city
But it's an orange day
There is reason for looking up
But I'm feeling down
You see I've got to catch a plane
But won't buy a ticket
'Cause it's hard to just stop
When you're spinning around
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it
Chorus:
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
Just stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it wear out
Your love
It's a weird world, yeah
Sent a message to a GI in the desert
Said thank you man for bringing another dawn
Back here is her and me
And we're having our first baby
He's out there taking 'em on
It's a weird world
And I know you know it
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it
(Repeat chorus)
I'm closing my eyes but I'm starting to see
While he's looking at you, she's looking at me
The only thing it does is just keep me away from you
Sure part of this place would cheer if I died
But don't let them take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
Just stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
For you to decide it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it wear out
Your love
(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
Hey hey hey
* I Still... *
Who are you now
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow
What do you do
At this very moment when I think of you
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that
No matter how I fight it
Can't deny it
Just can't let you go
Chorus:
I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you
Now look at me
Instead of moving on I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
Yeah I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last
I've tried to fight it
Can't deny it
You don't even know
(Repeat chorus)
I wish I could find you
Just like I found you
Then I would never let you go
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right beside you)
But still no (still no word) from you
* Poster Girl *
Jodie was a long way from home
She can make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of her landscape
Riding her bike through alphabet city
She likes to party in the backseat
Under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow
Taking bets 'till the sun won't rise
She said "what good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile
And make you want to believe
Chorus:
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl
Jodie likes to shoplift in stores
Right alongside the rich and famous
Get in elevators, press emergency stop
And make love on the floor until the camera made us
And no woman in the world
Ever made me feel like my heart's on fire
Where she walked I followed
When she laughed I cried
"What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
And I was wrapped around her finger
And I began to believe
(Repeat chorus 2x)
La la la la
La la la la
La la la laaa
(Repeat 1x)
Tell me what you want from me
I've got everything you need
It's getting hard for me to breathe
Let me be your guarantee
(Repeat chorus 2x)
Right now, right now
Right now, ohhh
Poster girl
Poster girl, yeah
Come on, come on
* Lose It All *
Take what you need
'Cause I can't hold my breath
Say what you feel
'Cause I got nothing left
I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it if it's wrong or right
Chorus:
And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful
It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway
Don't change a thing
You're perfect as you are
Time has a way
Time is all I've got
If my heart should shatter watching you
That'd be one less thing I have to prove
(Repeat chorus)
Heaven will be waiting
When I fall into your open arms
I'll believe you're find me there
You'll find me there
(Repeat chorus 2x)
* Climbing The Walls *
Close your eyes, make a wish
That this could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is
That keeps us from each other now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin
Chorus:
No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you
Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside
There's gotta be a way you and I together now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin
(Repeat chorus)
It's an illusion how can I feel this way
(if I can't have you)
It's an illusion nothing is real this way
(if I can't have you)
(Repeat chorus)
I can't let you go no
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you
* My Beautiful Woman *
How can I begin to
Tell you what you do to
Me every time I hear ya
More willing I wanna see ya
I know that there's no use in
Tryin' to explain my confusion
But still I'm not complainin'
'Bout my situation
Let's not talk about a possible ending
The very first time that I
Was lookin' to be your fella
I found my inspiration
Hiding in your expression
And so I put myself forward
For your consideration
Chorus:
Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know, I'm so in love with you
I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
Every time I'm near my beautiful woman
And so we put the top down
To take you drivin' downtown
I guess we'll know just what to do
When you're lookin' to fool around
It's too late to stop me
I know we're gonna get down
(Repeat chorus)
My beautiful woman (Repeat 2x)
B is for beautiful as the sunshine
E tells me everything is feelin' alright
A goes to U and me swingin' in time
T is two, I want you
You've got me actin' like a fool
(Repeat chorus 2x)
My beautiful woman
(Repeat 2x)
* Safest Place To Hide *
It seems like yesterday when I said "I do"
And after all this time
My heart still burns for you
If you don't know by now
That you've won my heart
Take a look inside me
And watch my heart strings come undone
I know I promised you forever
Is there no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm
Is raging outside, you're my safest place to hide
Can you see me, here I am
I need you like I needed you then
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
You see colors no one else can see
And every breath you hear a symphony
You understand me like nobody can
I feel my soul unfolding like a flower blooming
When this whole world gets too crazy
And there's no where left to go
I know you'll give me sanctuary
You're the only truth at all
You're the road back home
Can you see me, here I am
Standing here where I've always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
My safest place to hide
I know I promised you forever
There's no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm
Is raging outside, you're my safest place to hide
Can you see me, here I am
Standing here where I've always been
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
You're my safest place to hide
* Siberia *
"When you come back I won't be here"
She said and gently pulled me near
If you wanna talk you can call
And no it's not your fault
I just smiled and said "let go of me"
Now there's something I just gotta know
"Did someone else steal my part?"
She said it's not my fault
Chorus:
Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the light to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too
I was drifting in between
Like I was on the outside looking in
In my dreams you are still here
Like you've always been
(Repeat chorus)
I gave myself away completely
But you just couldn't see me
While I was sleeping in your bed
'Cause someone else was on your mind, in your head
When I came back, she wasn't there
Just a note left on the stairs
"If you wanna talk give me a call..."
(Repeat chorus 2x)
* Never Gone *
The things we did, the things we said
Keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside I know you are
Chorus:
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone
I walk alone these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
Somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be
(Repeat chorus)
Never gone from me
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again
(Repeat chorus)
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
* Song For The Unloved [bonus track] *
This one's for the mothers
Who have lost a child
And this one's for the gypsies
Who've left their hearts behind
This is for the strangers sleeping in my heart
Who take what they want
And leave while it's still dark
No one is glamorously lonely
All by themselves (all by themselves)
Chorus:
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (the unloved)
This one's for the bridesmaid, never the bride
This one's for the dreamers, who lock their faith inside
And this is for the widows who think there's only one
For the dying fathers who never told their sons
No one is glamorously lonely
Follow your heart (follow your heart)
(Repeat chorus)
Oh, tomorrow the sun will shine
And dry the tears in your eyes
Suddenly love comes alive
(Suddenly love comes alive)
For one last cry
Just one last cry
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
(Repeat 1x)
(Repeat chorus)
* Rush Over Me [bonus track] *
You washed away my sad face
And flooded all my empty space
You take away life's heartbreak
And I know with you it's gonna be okay
Chorus:
You're rushing through me
(Like water from heaven)
I feel you moving through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
(I know that there must be something real)
So alive (you're the air in my atmosphere)
Finally I feel complete
'Cause you have rushed over me yeah
There's no more blindness
'Cause when I cry, I'm smiling
You kept me from dying
And I know with you I'll keep on living
(Repeat chorus)
It's not enough (not enough)
Just holding on (holding on)
Before I met you I was lost
Now that you're standing here
I don't want you to go
'Cause I know that your love keeps me alive
(Repeat chorus 2x)
