Barriers
Well, I don't know how to say this right
And the words got me choking
I keep hitting this wall
It's never gonna fall
And we're still broken
This mountain we've been trying to climb
It's never ending
Just can't do nothing
Gotta do something
'Cause if we don't open up our eyes
We're just pretending
Well, there's a time for giving up
Didn't want to have to say it
All we doing is building walls
And now there's too many barriers
Here we are lying here
It's our last final goodnight
Just because it feels so good
No use pretending we're alright
Too many locks, too many crimes
Too many tears, too many lies
Too many barriers
Just too many barriers
Now we've been dragging this whole thing out
But I can't wait any longer
Our love's burning down
Creeping in the doubt
We're not getting any stronger
I hear you say that we're doing okay
But, baby, I don't think so
Just can't do nothing, gotta do something
'Cause if I don't get into my car I won't go very far.
Well there's a time for giving up
Didn't want to have to say it
All we're doing is building walls
Now there's too many barriers
Here we are lying here
It's our last final goodnight
Just because it feels so good
No use pretending we're alright
Too many locks, too many crimes
Too many tears, too many lies
Too many barriers
Too many barriers
Just too many barriers
That we keep running into
Been trying, but we just can't break through
I know I'm gonna keep wishing I was with you
But we just gotta stop
Here we are lying here
It's our last final goodnight
Just because it feels so good
No use pretending we're alright
Too many locks, too many crimes
Too many tears, too many lies
Too many barriers
Just too many barriers
In your hurry to get somewhere
In a hurry to get somewhere
And the world's trying to stop us
And you feel like you're nowhere
'Cause the world's trying to stop ya
Stop ya
Too many barriers
"Desperate"
Desperate.. Desperate..
You're reachin' out,
And no one hears your cry.
You're freakin' out again
'Cause all your fears remind you.
Another dream has come undone.
You feel so small and lost
Like you're the only one.
You wanna scream,
'Cause you're desperate.
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
You're in the dark;
There's no one left to call.
And sleep's you're only friend,
But even sleep can't hide you
From all those tears and all the pain
And all the days you wasted pushin' them away.
It's your life; it's time you face it.
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
'Cause you're desperate, desperate.
'Cause you're desperate now...
You know the things have gotta change.
You can't go back, you find a way.
And day by day, you start to come alive.
You want somebody, just anybody
To bring some peace to your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
'Cause you're desperate, desperate.
'Cause you're desperate tonight.
Oh, desperate... So desperate tonight,
Tonight...
Desperate, desperate....
"Waiting For Yesterday"
Day-eh-ay
You and me, all alone girl
What’s going on, would you tell me what’s wrong
It’s like you’re locked up in your own world
Oh-oh with nothing to say
You keep me guessing but I see in your eyes
He made you promises but gave you lies
You’re shutting down cuz you’re so sure
That I’ll be another mistake
[Chorus:]
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh-oh whatever it takes
You think history is repeating
You keep on pushing me away
Oh but nothing gonna change
Waiting for Yesterday-eh-eh
Day-eh-eh, Day-eh-eh
Is it worth it any longer?
You’re so scared to fall in again
Yesterday can make you stronger
So why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better than he ever did
This could be all you ever needed
Hold on to me and just remember
Oh no, never let go
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I’m the on for you tonight
I’m the one for forever
If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)
I’m the on for you tonight
I’m the one for forever
If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)
"Let Me Go"
I remember the better days
Way before this mess we made
You were the keys to the car
Now I'm just trying to make it start
Can't you see these highs and lows
Take us down and slowly take their toll
Misguided i don't know
Where we're headed
Tell me now now cuz
Round, round and round we go
When it stops
You say you don't know
But each time i try to stop this ride
You say its not time
This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go
So much I need to say
Then the truth gets in the way
You cry me another one
And watch my words just come undone
Can't you see these lows and highs
Tangled up separating all our ties
Misguided i cant find
A way back in so
Maybe its goodbye.
Round, round and round we go
And when it stops
You say you don't know
But each time i try to stop this ride
You say its not time
This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go
When the bottom drops out
Then you think you got nowhere to go (in the cold)
But if you take a look around
You could really warm it up and you know (always told you so)
Round, round and round we go
And when it stops
You say you don't know
But each time I try to stop this ride
You say its not time
This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go
Round, round and round we go
When it stops
You say you don't know
Why not let me go
Why not let me go
Why not let me go
Why not let me go yea
Why not let me go
"Angels"
I sit and wait, does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know, the places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
I'm loving angels instead
Oh, oh yeah
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
"Running"
Words keep fallin' out of my pocket.
Runnin' late, missed the train,
Everything is droppin'.
Holdin' onto my heart,
And I rush out, almost forgot it.
I must admit it, I'm tired,
But I'm comin' to you.
Don't know how far I've got,
But I don't care.
I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop
Keep on runnin',
Don't stop.
Keep on runnin'.
Let's keep givin' out,
Breakin' down; I'm fallin'.
Head keeps tellin' me,
This can't be worth all of this.
Holdin' onto my heart, feel the rush.
I'm ready to run forever.
I'm holdin' it together,
'Cause I'm comin' to you.
I don't know how far I've got,
But I don't care.
I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop
I got my good shoes.
I got my winning, girl, I'm focused
And I'm 'bout to navigate straight to you
And nothing's gonna stop me, girl
To keep me from comin'
'Cause I got to have every part of you forever.
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'.
Keep runnin', I'm runnin'.
Keep runnin', keep runnin'.
I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop runnin'.
"Somebody Out There"
Sittin' all alone in your room
Thinking that the world's let you down
All you ever wanted to do is trust Someone to always be around
You've had a lot of lessons to learn from
Some of them hit you so hard
And I keep believing that someday you'll see
You don't have to be alone
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I've been watching you go through
All of these things for a while
There's gotta be a way to bring you back
Cause its worth it when you smile
It doesn't have to hurt you forever
It doesn't have to last too long
If you're wondering where to turn to
I hope that you know
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I wanna be there when you're in need
I would never be long if you were waiting
When you gonna see
If you could only see
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I'd give anything for you
Anything at all
I think it's time that you knew it was me
"Touch My Hand"
Saw you from the distance,
Saw you from the stage,
Something 'bout the look in your eyes,
Something 'bout your beautiful face,
In a sea of people,
There was only you,
I never knew what this song was about,
But suddenly now I do,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Reach out as far as you can,
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,
Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,
I see the sparkle of a million flashlights,
A wonder wall of stars,
But the one that's shining out so bright,
Is the one right where you are,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Reach out as far as you can,
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,
Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,
Saw you from the distance,
Saw you from the stage,
Something 'bout the look in your eyes,
Something 'bout your beautiful face,
Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,
Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand, (I'll never get the chance again)
Reach out as far as you can, (I'll never get the chance again)
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Yeah, yeah
"Don't Let Go"
I know that look in your eyes,
I don't wanna say goodnight.
Do anything to change your mind,
Try to make you see the light.
You turn your back,
And still I say anything to make you stay.
Put up walls made of heartbreak,
Try to hide your love away.
I'm standin' here, you're givin' me nothing.
Try to feel your heart beat through the door...
Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing.
So strong, so strong, what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.
There's somethin' that you're going through,
Wish that I could fix for you.
You don't have to be alone,
I don't wanna let you go.
I'm standin' here, you're givin' me nothing.
Try to hear your heart break through the door.
Call it love, call it what you want to.
It's the only thing that matters anymore.
Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing.
So strong, so strong, what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.
Oh
Some days are cold,
But together, one day we'll both
Change the weather.
And it gets better.
Oh......
Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing
So strong, so strong, what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.
Mmmmmmm....
"You Can"
Mmmmm....
Take me where I've never been,
Help me on my feet again.
Show me that good things come to those who wait.
Tell me I'm not on my own.
Tell me I won't be alone.
Tell me what I'm feelin' isn't some mistake.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.
Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.
Baby, when you look at me,
Tell me, what do you see?
Are these the eyes of someone you could love?
'Cause everything that brought me here,
Well, now it all seems so clear.
Baby, you're the one that I've been dreamin' of.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.
Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love...
Only you can take me sailin' in your deepest eyes.
Bring me to my knees and make me cry.
And no one's ever done this,
Everything was just a lie.
And I know, yes I know...
This is where it all begins,
So tell me it'll never end.
I can't fool myself,
It's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.
Show me that good things come to those who wait
"To Be With You"
I've been alone so many nights now,
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall.
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you.
So here I am staring at the moon tonight,
Wondering how you look in this light.
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too.
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually..
And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right.
I'll be at the end of my restless road.
But this journey, it was worth the fight.
To be with you, just to be...
Holding you for the very first time, never letting go.
What I wouldn't give to feel that way...
Oh...
Oh, to be with you...
Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually.
And when you're standin' here in front of me,
That's when I know that God does exist.
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer.
To be with you, just to be with you, yeah.
You....
"Your Eyes Don't Lie"
I saw you yesterday,
It's been a while.
You tried, but failed
At holding back your smile right then.
It's not over yet.
I knew, for you.
I couldn't sleep,
I thought of nothing else,
I needed help.
Everyone was telling me
You were movin' on with someone else.
But what we had was so special,
People can be jealous.
Oh, I had to see it for myself.
I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.
I know I hurt you,
I know you're hurtin' still.
But I'll make it up to you,
Yeah, baby, I will.
'Cause what we had was so special.
You know we can't give it up.
Now that I'm lookin' at you,
I can see...
I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.
And they never will, girl.
Oh, now that I know.
We were apart, but your heart never let go.
So thank you for showing me with one look,
What used to be and still is a possibility..
I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.
Your eyes don't lie.
"Falling"
Feels like my life's been passing by
With happiness just bein' a lie
How did I get here, where am I going?
One more day without knowing
Struggling for one more breath
As I'm drowning in a painful death
Can someone reach out for me?
In this dark and dreary sea
'Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that's calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling
I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I'm stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don't lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more
In my isolating misery
I feel like the epitome
Of darkness and despair
Just leading onto nowhere
Will I be able to win this race?
I'm runnin' at a slow pace
Trying hard to press on
But the motivation's gone
'Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that's calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling
Oh
I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I'm stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don't lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more
It may not have to be this way
Waiting for me they could be a new day
Maybe I can revise
And escape from the lies
I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I'm stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don't lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more
There could be something more
To what my life may have in store
I'll move from where I began
Keep on pressing through to the end
"Works For Me"
Yeah, yeah, mmmmm
No I won't make up my mind
I'm too good at wastin' time
And I know, life is unpredictable
Just never know what I will find
Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don't think so
I guess I can define me as that kinda guy
Maybe it's a big mistake
But baby that's the chance that I'll take
[Chorus:]
You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine
If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me
I can't forget the things you said
Your words keep running through my head
And I know you're just trying to help me out
Thanks, but I'll follow my heart instead
Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don't think so
I can't decide between the left side or the right
Maybe it's a big mistake
But baby that's the chance that I'll take, Oh Yeah!
You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine
If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me
[Bridge:]
There were days when a song could not be found
There were days when my voice would make no sound for me, for me
But I don't worry about it where I'm goin'
'cause I know just where I'm wanna be
And it's time for you to see
You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine
If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me
"Save The Day"
Tied to the tracks and I hear you call
Your voice is shaking
The train is coming faster than you thought
And there's no escaping it
And you think that you know
How the end of the story goes
That's a page I rewrote
And I'm taking away the ropes
There's more hope than you'll ever know
So keep breathing
I said that I'll always be there
Now I mean it more than ever before
There's a future worth fighting for
So don't be scared
I know how you must be feeling
No one to help you carry the pain
I'm coming to save the day
Hands of the clock
Are standing still
But your heart is racing
You're losing your grip on the windowsill
Pulled down by the weight of it
And you pray for relief
As you lie on the bathroom floor
As you wait
You can see
There's a light underneath the door
This is the day you've been waiting for
So keep breathing
I said that I'll always be there
Now I mean it more than ever before
There's a future worth fighting for
So don't be scared
I know how you must be feeling
No one to help you carry the pain
We're finally breaking
Into the daylight
Feel the warmth of the sun
I will stand by your side
Till your fear passes on
So just look in my eyes
Baby, try to hold on
And you'll find
It won't be long
So keep breathing
I said that I'll always be there
Now I mean it more than ever before
There's a future worth fighting for
So don't be scared
I know how you must be feeling
No one to help you carry the pain
I'm coming to save the day, yeah
Comin' to save the day
(There's a future worth fighting for)
Don't be scared
I know how you must be feeling
You know that it won't be long
No one to help you carry the pain
It won't be long
Tied to the tracks and I hear you call
Your voice is shaking
"Leavin'"
Hey baby girl
I've been watching you all day
Man that thing you got behind you is amazing
You make me want to take you out and let it rain
I know you got a man but this is what you should say
[Chorus:]
Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin' never looking back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry
No more them gray skies
Girl we flying on a g-5, g-5
And we're leavin' never looking back again
So call your shawty you tell him you found a new man
The one who's so so fly
The one to keep you high
Have you singing all night, like that
Now if I talk it girl, you know that I will walk it out
Man I'll put my money money where my mouth is
Cause you're the baddest little thing that I've ever seen
So I'm gonna ask you one time if you got a man
[Chorus]
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Just tell him to the left left left
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Cause we gone & we gone & we gone
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you deserve nothing but the best
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you need to tell him...
[Chorus]
