Be With Me 05:17
As I turn my weary head around I see you wrapped up in the covers I could lay here all day long but My heart just aches when I know I've got to go She stirs underneath the twisted sheets As her hair falls about her peaceful face I hear the softness of her breath And I know I don't know what this life is throwin' us But I open my eyes and I see you ah staring right back at me. I don't know what this life is throwin' us But be with me... As I lay in bed right next to you With your head upon the pillow My eyes well up when I think what life would be like Without you I don't know what this life is throwin' us But I open my eyes and I see you ah staring right back at me. I don't know what this life is throwin' us But be with me... GUITAR BREAK As I turn my weary head around My eyes well up again I don't know what this life is throwin' us But I open my eyes and I see you ah staring right back at me. I don't know what this life is throwin' us But be with me...

Waiting, laying, pacing my time in limbo No door out of this room Just waiting here, facing fear, with no window As I justify my time with a broom And sweep up the dust I left behind No fireplace to warm my fingers and toes But hope and home will help me out of this doorless room A speck of light shines through a hole in the roof I can see it feel it so there’s proof A sign of life shines on a face by the stars, grin and a smile breaks And warms my soul to begin the chase No exchange of words to anyone No window or book on a shelf Just pondering my day the same before I wanna seek and find my door I could justify my time in this room With only a dust pan and a broom But hope and home will help me out of this doorless room A speck of light shines through a hole in the roof I can see it feel it so there’s proof A sign of life shines on a face by the stars, grin and a smile breaks And warms my soul to begin the chase I wouldn’t pass on it or flaunt it if I had it I wouldn’t let it take over and quit I wouldn’t forget where it came from I wouldn’t forget where I came from But hope and home will help me out of this doorless room A speck of light shines through a hole in the roof I can see it feel it so there’s proof A sign of life shines on a face by the stars, grin and a smile breaks And warms my soul to begin the chase

The Beach 05:36
I was walkin' down the path on the edge of a hill, it was so damn hot there you are down the trail and you're heading my way then we were just walkin' down the road sweat was pouring down my face but we're finding our way you're a cool breeze when I cannot catch my breathe, it's still so damn hot how'd you find me not believin' what I see today, I've been away I was walking I was treadin' in the surf with your hand grasp a hold we were talkin' by the way you don't need to talk to say everything I've spent my life finding someone who makes me feel, feel the way you do I was walking picture yourself on the edge grab a hold with both hands and just take a wave or laying still with your head on my chest as the water just kisses our toes without a care or a thought or a worry as long as you're still within my reach I promise you I'll never let you go as we, as we walk on down the road I was walkin' down the road I was walkin' I was walkin' I was walkin' down the road

For You 04:21
Am I takin' my time make up your mind and sit right here You can Give me a sign or throw me a dime and take the steering wheel I don't know if I'm wrong or if I'm coming on too strong just give me a chance You can hold my hand and make a stand there's nothing to fear My request of you so clear fury stays within my tears when they fall so true And I can't forget my fate without my hesitance to stay or just to pull on My respect for you so free like a wren up in a tree so take your love along with Triumphant wishful words sprung from flesh to feelings love reaffirms I'll be there for you I'll be there for you No matter what I do I'll be there for you I'll be there for you It doesn't matter what I say only what it is i do i can think it through My mind it works too slow sometimes I wish it wasn't so I'd right the world for I'll be there for you I'll be there for you No matter what I do I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you No matter what I do I'll be there for you I'll be there for you

I need something to hold onto, something to feel, another day's come and gone. The long winter nights and long summer days ever seem so right. The days come and go time after time until everyone has left And life is no big issue cause day after day you just need to relax. A long days work with something to show there's a chance I'm finally gonna grow. The emptiness inside was leading me astray but chances I can take and make my own fate There's no need to worry my life's a ringing bell just ranting on about it now And stresses in my life admit there are a few I’ll take it over now and see the real you There's no need to worry my life's a ringing bell just ranting on about it now And life is no big issue cause day after day I just need to relax Feelings out of me......day after day No more insanity........day after day Now I'm free............day after day Now I'm free............day after day Now I'm free............day after day Now I'm free............day after day

Let us find a common ground Check the time and calm it down Find the meaning of it all Let us make a wonderful sound Keep my head above the waves Keep my head above the waves Common ground come down with you Common ground come down with you I can't believe the wealth i've found under this weeping willow I can't believe the dreams I've had with my head upon the pillow Keep my head above the waves Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Keep my head above the waves Come down with you Winter is the rain that keeps us down and makes us sane Let the words flow from your lips and keep them all the same Keep my head above the waves Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Keep my head above the waves Come down with you Keep my head above the waves Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Come down with you Keep my head above the waves Come down with you

Live 04:31
was sittin' at my desk one day I don't know what it is I'm doing here I'd say just staring at my screen not knowing where I'm at or what I'd like to be was sittin' cross the door but I was waiting for it to open with a chance I'd see closed not open all I gotta do is take the handle and see what's waitin' for me I wanna live - live like there's no tomorrow I wanna live - live life without sorrow I wanna live - live twice so not to borrow I wanna live - livin' life without you no no no no no waitin' around to see before me what will come a knockin' at the door you're leavin' too I think that this has happened to me too many times before the telephone is ringing I bring it to my ear to answer your deceptions crickets chatter nothings happenin' I cannot waste one single minute of life no more I wanna live - live like there's no tomorrow I wanna live - live life without sorrow I wanna live - live twice so not to borrow I wanna live - livin' life without you no no no no no I first thought that I'd be finished, along with this be done before Head start and then the finish, sit outside my bedroom door No-voices in my head once more, I sit and I wait no no no more My-head-it-bears no eyes to witness, now I know what to dream for I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I wanna live - live like there's no tomorrow I wanna live - live life without sorrow I wanna live - live twice so not to borrow I wanna live - livin' life without you no no no no no

Confide 03:41
The way you stare into my eyes I fall in love with you each time There’s a lot pent up inside this little box that I can find The fabric slightly torn in my life the comfort of you by my side In a storm I can’t see your eyes a sharp thorn caught by surprise The way you stare into my eyes I fall in love with you each time Everything I need...is within my reach In you I confide...it’s what I can see You mean everything...and these words I sing You mean everything...everything to me. Your timid eyes don’t judge at all but cleanse my inner pensieve soul Tidings faith and feast of a fool I’ve faith that you would be there too Everything I need’s within my reach just need to grasp all that I seek The comfort of you by my side then in you, with you I confide. Everything I need...is within my reach In you I confide...it’s what I can see You mean everything...you mean everything You mean everything...everything to me. Everything I need is within my reach In you I confide it’s what I can see You mean everything everything to me

In my isolated room with worries joggin’ through my head How much more will I consume before it eats me instead Work I’d done the night before using every offered hour I don’t know what’s in store or really what this life is for Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary Those 4 am stints really took me back Tired of lying to myself I want my life back In my isolated room how much more will I consume Worries wandering in my head but it consumes me instead Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary You are none the better it just seems like nothin’ I was doing was Making any sense anymore to me at the time Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary Worn out and tired at a loss to say another punch for the weary I’ve been called upon to find my way another punch for the weary Another punch for the weary Another punch for the weary Another punch for the weary…

Without fear there’d be no desire Without desire there’d be no fear The stars in the sky light my way For a while we’ll stay here From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above Your eyes comprehend the feeling inside my head We lie folded as the lights shimmer in the night This abundance of light caught in my eyes Is setting my darkness aglow The candle burns oh slowly it whines Seeing the stars from below. From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above Your eyes comprehend the feeling inside my head We lie folded as the lights shimmer in the night Perhaps only the heavens could Comprehend the love that I possess We’ll just smile and take it all in Now we have nothing to confess From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above From the heart comes a world of love Temple below sea of light above Your eyes comprehend the feeling inside my head We lie folded as the lights shimmer in the night
