Another Day

V1:
I’m not supposed to let you see this side of me
According to the rules that cause me such anxiety
I’m told to keep my guard up ‘til date number 3
And even then stick to the proven strategy
CHORUS:
But that’s not my style
I don’t wanna pretend anymore
I hate these games we play
Ohhh oohhh
Behind my smile
You see it’s you who I adore
But I’ll keep up with this charade
Oohh for another day
Oooh for another day
Oooh for another day
Oooh for another day
V2:
And what’s so wrong with knowing what I want
I want your arms around my waist
I wanna feel your eyes on mine
and we can share some precious time
I wanna be consumed by your gaze
CHORUS REPEATS
BRIDGE:
Eventually you’ll be on to me
And I’m sure that you’ll see
how I’m playin it cool
And when that day comes
I’ll cross my fingers that you won’t run
Cuz I’m sure…
I’m sure that we could have some fun
CHORUS REPEATS

Cliff Jumping
03:04
|
|

|
I’m standing on the edge of a cliff but I’m too scared to look down
I wanna dive into the pool of your love, how do I know that I won’t drown?
How do I know you’ll be there to catch me,
that I won’t crash to the ground
I guess I don’t but I still believe, I feel it, somehow…
CHORUS:
I could love you, that’s if you want me to
I’d turn myself inside out to give all of me to you
But you gotta want it, feel it, see it, need it, believe it too
If you wanna fall in love with me, then I could fall in love with you
We’ve both gone tumbling over other cliffs like this before
I hear the wounds in every word you speak, you’re still so sore
The stakes are raised with every time we try for something more
But we stay in the game, cuz love’s a prize worth fighting for…
CHORUS REPEATS
Who knows how many times we’ll get the chance to feel this way
Isn’t it about time we stopped living by what others say
And thought for a second how we’d like to spend our days
We could search for our whole lives and never find
CHORUS REPEATS

Catch the Light
04:19
|
|

|
Verse 1:
The red red rose on the garden wall, she me
smerizes all who see
The emerald leaves and spruce that make her strong
They stand together feel the breeze
Because every piece, every part has a plan
To give by grace of what they can and
CHORUS:
Every shade is perfectly made to help the others catch the light
The colors of our soul, they shine for the common goal
That’s how we can make it bright
That’s how we catch the light
Verse 2:
Sometimes this world moves too fast in ways that we don’t understand
The canvas burns when the colors clash, the anger fed by idle hands
Well sometimes our dreams they get cast aside
But they’re there when you sleep, no you cannot hide
It’s time to wake up and take a chance
Unleash the brightness you hold in your hands
CHORUS REPEATS
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN)

Worth It
03:11
|
|

|
V1:
I’ve got these words
I want to say
And they will not leave my mind
If you want to hear
Then I will tell you
Maybe now’s the time
CHORUS:
I didn’t expect to find
That you’d steal this heart of mine
And I’ll have to practice caring again but
For you it’d be worth it
For you it’d be worth it
V2:
We both know it won’t be easy
But I’m guessing nothing is
To think of maybe
And of what could be
It takes away the choices
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
This feeling that found me, now I’ve found you
The words are the same, but they’ve become new
I love you
CHORUS

Just Be
03:57
|
|

|
V1:
Last night, I had the greatest dream
You were lying here next to me
And the world ceased to exist for a while
For a brief repose I was yours and you were mine
Like waves into the sand your passion ran through me
We stole a moment to be wild and free
We left the future and the past behind
And let our bodies and hearts and souls intertwine
Eventually, reason re-emerged
Questions and fears brought us crashing back to earth
And I wonder...
CHORUS:
Can we just be
Instead of spending time
On titles and labels and guarantees
Life is already too brief
So can we just be?
V2:
We search the world for answers that live in ourselves
If we don’t know our own heart, how can we offer it to someone else
Eventually doubt can foil the dream
Don’t be left paralyzed by the choices we’re torn between
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
It’s not too late for answers to be found
The hope in you is so alive, just gagged and bound
I look at you and see divinity
And when we kiss it feels like… poetry.
CHORUS

Too Late
04:22
|
|

V1:
Across the room, a pair of champagne flutes
Raised to celebrate, it’s been 30 years
He reaches up to brush a silver strand from her face
The quiet candlelight can’t compare to the fire in his eyes
And I wonder when was the last time you looked at me that way
Now we’re sharing a meal without sharing a moment
A thousand miles and a lifetime from where we met
If we had known where this would go would we be here again
CHORUS:
Is it too late for precious steps to be retraced
Can we go back and find what it was that we left behind
Don’t you remember our love it was like
basking in rays of golden dreams can we go there again
Or is this the beginning of the end
V2:
Don’t you remember when
I came home on my break, ‘cuz seeing you couldn’t wait
But you weren’t there you’d gone to see me
I raced back to find the flowers you left behind
With a note, said you were crazy for me
So how the hell could we mess this up
Trade in all of our treasures novelty
Can’t believe we could turn away from us
Long enough to let life step in between
CHORUS
Don’t you remember our love it was like magic and starlight and
Moonlight and crazy happy up all night and
Don’t you remember how you made me feel and how
Everyday I would pray that it was real and how luck I was
to love my best friend
So please don’t tell me that this could be the end

Enjoy the Ride
03:16

V1:
There are many things I would like to know
And many places I would like to go
That’s why I’m keeping track of time
Every day goes faster than the last
Snapshots are taken so fast
Moments are hard to make last
But we’re still trying, and...
CHORUS:
Don’t ask why
Don’t ask why
How ‘bout this time we
Just enjoy the ride
V2:
There are places we should go explore
Every one makes me wanna go more
We should go see what there is to find
We’ll take a train, take a plane, take a bus ride
Holding hands, oh, as we bike ride
If you’ve got other plans, baby
That’s alright, I won’t ask…
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
There are things I shouldn’t have said
Nights I wish I could redo
But one thing I will never regret
Is telling you how much I love you…
CHORUS
