I don’t mind if you are all alone, just be here by me
And I will find what it means to be bold, to ask and not plead
‘Cos I don’t care who you are, who you know just be here by me
And all I need is to have, and to hold, such grace such beauty
For us to go and make a home, to break a fast, to make love grow
I don’t feel like one to show but if you call I’ll heed
Time taps at my window, to warn me as I lie
To be alone for ever is no goal of mine
So be my perfect witness on the trial that love is blind
‘Cos I don’t mind if we are juxtaposed to all and sundry
‘Cos we are just one of those great hopes like a diamond at sea
We can make every song our own, scream every bar sing every note
I don’t feel like one to know, but if you fall I’ll lead.
Time taps at my window, to warn me as I lie
To be alone for ever is no goal of mine
So be my perfect witness on the trial that love is blind

Miss Hollywood

Eyes, the perfect size, the perfect smile, the perfect means to make you weak
She’s the female kind, that makes you blind, to all you are and all you need
’Cos others are coming for her, her state of California, that all men seek
Shake them off Miss Hollywood, my bones cry out now, and I will find out how to make you so proud
Living like I knew you would, six feet from the common man
And I am so inspired, by her sunrise, the way it burns all underneath
’Cos I can always try, to be her guide, to be the things that she can’t be
’Cos others are coming for her, her state of California, that all men seek
Shake them off Miss Hollywood, my bones cry out now, and I will find out how to make you so proud
Living like I knew you would, six feet from the common man

Skin and Bones

Charmed by the beauty of demons, the heart above all is deceiving
And mine, mine is losing its reason to see beyond its flesh formed home
And I see the grandeur of mangers, a throne fit for swine and for saviours
And I’m well aware of the dangers, that tempt my mind and hunt my soul
And I don’t believe it, I’m just deceived that I’m just skin and bones
Come on let me go, ’Cos we are perceived by the things that we see
The lies that fashion throws, sticks and stones and
I wanna see my life be something more, than happiness and plans that’ll crumble away like sand and
I wanna feel the depths and throes of lasting joy
The burden was in my hand, now you take it and understand
Charmed by the beauty of demons, the heart above all is deceiving
And mine, mine is aching and bleeding for those that hunger and those that roam
I wanna see my life be something more, than happiness and plans that’ll crumble away like sand and
I wanna feel the depths and throes of lasting joy
The burden was in my hand, now you take it and understand
’Cos come on skin and bones, I won’t let you go, ’Cos come on skin and
bones, I want you to know, we’re seed to sow
’Cos I don’t believe it, am I just skin and bones
And I don’t believe it, come on now and let me go
I’m not letting go, of this skin and bones

Runaways

Would you runaway with me fair lady, for you’re fair indeed
The warmth of your hand in mine has got me on bended knee
It’s written in the stars and astrals plainly, that we’re meant to be
So would you runaway with me fair lady and marry me
Yes I’ll runaway with you my baby, you’re all I need
The warmth of your charms and efforts lately have made me see
That you’re the only one that I can safely trust and believe
So yes I’ll runaway with you my baby and marry thee
And oh I don’t know, just where our futures go
Is it fast, is it slow, will it pull apart or grow, I don’t know, but I know that...
All the things we haven’t done I wrote them down we’ll live them one by one
And if the daylight never comes our love alone can wake the morning sun
And all the days that we will run I’ll make them up to you, I’ll bring you home, and we can settle down as one, I promise
So would you runaway with me fair lady, for you’re fair indeed.

My Own Soul

You took my heart and set it free
You took my chains you lit my flames inside of me
For want of words for a lack of faith and sight
You heard my cries, you bore my lies, you lift my eyes, off of me
A love that’s in constant motion, a joy that is more than notion
I don’t know!
Engaged in my present friction/you’re the cure for my condition
Whoah!
You’re the gate that’s always open, you’re the stream that’s always flowin
I hope so!
’Cos mines the mark that’s always missin, you’re the dart that’s always hittin, my own soul!
You pulled apart my familiar scars, and you let em bleed
Drew forth my pain, drip dried my shame, and you let me see
No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try
I can’t earn this love, it comes from above, your little white dove
One of three
I can’t earn this love, this love of thine

Stop Breathing

I had a feeling that you were leaving
Oh disappearing for no good reason
Did all the mistakes I made make you get up and go?
’Cos I was lead to believe that I wasn’t heard
Well hear me now
Stop Breathing, I won’t stop breathing
I’ll follow you while there’s breath still in me
’Cos I tried to live life on my own, to bear its storm, it took its toll on me
Stop Breathing, I won’t stop breathing
I got a feeling that you’re just leaving
(Stop breathing, start living again!)
A shift in time and a change in season
(Stop breathing, start living again!)
Stop Breathing, I won’t stop breathing
I’ll follow you while there’s breath still in me
Did all the mistakes I made make you get up and go
’Cos I was led to believe that children were seen and not heard
Well Father, hear me now

Anyway

Anyway, I thought I'd care to mention
Celebrate yourself with my attention
All my life, I've being searching for an answer. All my years, like a key without a lock.
Better late than never for the first time
Hesitate, I was treading on a fine line
I can't lie, you're the first to make me smile in a while and I'm going to keep while I ask
Are you the love of my life, darlin'? Are you the sum of my fears? Cos this has never being wise, but I know you now, so tonight I'm right.
I don't wanna be, just a lover or a friend. I wanna be the one who's with you til the end.
Cos all my life, I've being searching for an answer
All my years, like an end without a start
Are you the love of my life, darlin'?
Are you the sum of my fears? Cos this has never being wise, But I know you now, so tonight I'm right.
