So its all just a waiting game I hope you still feel the same way as me I've been waiting for you to roll in Just like you said time and again You fight to keep my door open And I gladly do not knowing when You'll finally come around here You're a mystery to me, my dear Everything has stayed the same Is there something I could say To make you come this way Come closer to me, honey I can't be long without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do Now, baby, don't be lazy Or I'll move on without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do That we do In the past I've let my guard down I've messed around with the wrong kind of dude Someone who cared to much for looks And mothered too much for his own good What I want in life is so simple I'd rather not spend my time unhappy Listening to the promises you made me Now follow through with the word you gave me Nothin' 'bout you needs to change You just need to come my way And everything will be okay Come closer to me, honey I can't be long without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do Now, baby, don't be lazy Or I'll move on without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do That we do Its more than just a little game But I still know how to make you scream my name You'll work the 9 to 5 and I the 1 to 9 And when we both come home You know we'll feel good just the same Ambition is our ammunition To work out the worst conditions that we face Now let me hear you say yeah Let me hear you say yeah, yeah Let me hear you say yeah Let me year you say yeah Come closer to me, honey I can't be long without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do Now, baby, don't be lazy Or I'll move on without you Love makin' makes me crazy Move mountains with all of the love that we do That we do

Never thought I could Ever feel this way Never thought you'd come as soon as you'd come Never understood Coincidence in fate Well I can stop asking questions 'cause I'm out of the game The closest I've come to loving someone Ended in hurt and my heart came undone But now that you're here my life is clear And I know that I can love again There's no one like you No one who could Make every dream come true I'll take my chances On you 'cause you Make the world beautiful Just by being you So many times I've come And turned around and run Was it testing fate that forced me to fall? Was it a question of faith? I knew my heart had none I had to teach myself patience before you could come You swept me away by showing you'd wait It wasn't a question of how long I would take You wept when I hurt and smiled when I found The courage to give my love again There's no one like you No one who could Make every dream come true I'll take my chances On you 'cause you Make the world beautiful Just by being you For the tenderness that you bring me No substitute For the memories that you give me No one but you Could come through stronger than you You're there when I'm journeying Through the darkest kind of blue There's no one like you No one who could Make every dream come true I'll take my chances On you 'cause you Make the world beautiful Just by being you

Outside 05:07
Whenever I'm far from home I get into something so deep I never thing I would go there And every time I think I've been there before It turns out it was just an open door That's new to me And then I take a deep breath And my lungs are filled with air And the smell of fresh flowers in the morning Weave into my hair What more could I ever want But the sweet inspiration of a new day Oh, there's nothing to it Nothing else to do but to go all the way I know what to do When the every day starts to get cloudy I just open up my room And I go outside I know what to do When my mind starts to get all funny on me I just open up my room And I go outside Life, it seems to never let up Even for a minute, every day I gotta get up I gotta go here, gotta go there I gotta keep on climbing those stairs Don't think for a minute I could stop 'til its twelve o'clock And then I gotta go home And go to bed and wake up And then I do it all over again But then I take a deep breath And my lungs are filled with air And the smell of fresh flowers in the morning Weave into my hair What more could I ever want But the sweet inspiration of a new day Oh, there's nothing to it Nothing else to do but to go all the way I know what to do When the every day starts to get cloudy I just open up my room And I go outside I know what to do When my mind starts to get all funny on me I just open up my room And I go outside Dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah Dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah Dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah Dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah I know what to do When the every day starts to get cloudy I just open up my room And I go outside I know what to do When my mind starts to get all funny on me I just open up my room And I go outside You know I go outside, yeah

Your Shoes 03:01
I know you wanna see me From over here its clear You think that I don't notice The way your eyes are shifting I'm waitin' on you to Step up and make your first move 'Cause there are plenty of dudes Who'd wanna be in your shoes You know you ought to get me with your best moves, baby There ain't no other reason but to move my feet Just come on over with your good foot, baby You know you ought to make this hour the hour that you set me free Don't want a conversation I just want you to move me There is no time for wastin' So put your best foot forward Don't mind your Sunday outfit Let your sweat drip down your forehead You know I'll wanna go again There's just somethin' 'bout your shoes You know you ought to get me with your best moves, baby There ain't no other reason but to move my feet Just come on over with your good foot, baby You know you ought to make this hour the hour that you set me free There's just somethin' 'bout your shoes That has more to do with your attitude Fill them well and they will do What dancing shoes are made to do You know you ought to get me with your best moves, baby There ain't no other reason but to move my feet Just come on over with your good foot, baby You know you ought to make this hour the hour that you set me free

Even If 04:18
I never asked you to fake your own death That was something you put on all by yourself Many miles away from here is where you are But I still know you I told you I'd hold on as long as I could But you don't know the different ways to love Even if I shouted at you From the highest mountain tops You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? Even if I swore to you I'm only here to tell the truth You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? I could always be wrong about you You're so good at telling me that's how I do So when I call you on your stuff that's when you fume And I still know you I told you I'd hold on as long as I could But you don't know the different ways to love Even if I shouted at you From the highest mountain tops You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? Even if I swore to you I'm only here to tell the truth You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? You had it in your heart But you'd rather walk away Before this could even start You kept your world Close to your own And now you say You'd rather be alone, oh How foolish can you be? You're all that you can see Is it any wonder That you don't know the ways of love? I told you I'd hold on as long as I could But you don't know the different ways to love Even if I shouted at you From the highest mountain tops You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? Even if I swore to you I'm only here to tell the truth You'd still be wonderin' Where is love? Where is love? Where is love? Where is love? Where is love? Where is love? Where is love? Where is love?

For Me 03:43
You are the light shining down on me The cause to smile on rainy days You make loving love so easy 'Cause you live inside a sweet song You know the meaning of happy Its in your nature to be that way There's no thoughts of doubt in my mind You are the one For me You are the one For me Your love is warm like the sun For me I think I'm in heaven 'Cause you are the one For me Circumstances get in the way But just one thing remains the same Its hard to forget your love 'Cause you give it every day I love your integrity Loving you comes so naturally I more than want you, baby You've got everything I need For me You are the one For me Your love is warm like the sun For me, yeah I think I'm in heaven No one could ever take your place 'Cause you are the one For me Don't stop finding Words to say How much love means To you, you and me I know what's good I know what's right I know what's good And I know, I know what's right For me You are the one For me Your love is warm like the sun For me I think I'm in heaven 'Cause you are the one For me (repeat)

Train Ride 05:39
It seems like forever To be on this train ride for so long I can't even think of The last time it stopped, I'm so far gone My dream's come and gone I don't know how long I've been alone Now I don't care Where I am going, as long as I go Maybe my choices Have not always been the best for me But in my defence I can say that I've gone by what I feel I make my mistakes And hope that I can find a way To reconcile peace And harmony within myself one day Now I don't care Where I am going As long as I go And get further from slowing Don't question why I Don't have all the answers I only know This train ride I've been on For so long, yeah

Its been a long time coming Four seasons gone with the wind There was nothing sacred 'bout my living At least, in my own mind My wheels have started going again After the thousand circles drawn With no end to the time That was spent in the dark Of the tunnel I was in But somehow I found a way to begin The good times in love The good times in love Woah, yeah Oh, yeah At last I felt my toes touch the sand All I could see was the way my hair Played with the beams of light That flashed through the sea I was drowning myself in Somewhere between feeling 'live and dead I caught the very fear that plagued my heart It sat like a stone made of glass And when it broke I was set free to roam The places my heart felt I should know Like the good times in love The good times in love I turned my ears off My head would tell me lies I traded my town For isolated time Sold everything off I packed all my bags And I left them all behind For the good times in love, yeah The good times love, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
9.
You walked into a transit station And bought your ticket going one way You dropped a coin into a man's cup Before your lifted yourself onto the train You're sleep-deprived and understated Keeping to yourself while waiting For tomorrow to arrive 'cause That means one less day of passing time Before you see me Wide-eyed and in your arms Before you see me Fight the urge to take you down Right in front of everyone around Your pockets-full of love and incense You're hoping I remember your smell You still can see the day when you left And you dropped my heart down a well As complicated as you made it I still collected all the pieces And locked them in the darkest closet Struggling to hide my love from you Until you see me Wide-eyed and in your arms Until you see me Fight the urge to take you down Right in front of everyone around Woah, woah, woah, woah Don't ever leave me again Its more than what I bargained when I said I do Don't ever leave me again Its more than what I bargained when I said I do, oh I do, oh Until you see me Wide-eyed and in your arms Until you see me Fight the urge to take you down Right in front of everyone around
