Drowning 02:41
lyrics
buy track
How can the sky be so blue When leaving my bed is the last thing I want to do Cause if I just lay here, I can dream That I never lost your love and I’m in your arms again Well maybe someday I’ll see how lucky I’ve been But all I know is right now I’m drowning I’ve seen before how love goes bad But now I feel the pain So if I had to make the choice Would I choose love again? Had I just turned away Tried to resist that look you gave Pulling me to you and holding me there I would not be lying here wishing you still cared Well maybe someday I’ll see how lucky I’ve been But all I know is right now I’m drowning I’ve seen before how love goes bad But now I feel the pain So if I had to make the choice Would I choose love again? What stays with me is not the memory of our love What stays with me is what we’ve become I’ve seen before how love goes bad But now I feel the pain So if I had to make the choice How could I choose love again? Would I choose love again?

Blind Side 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I don’t see What’s clearly in front of me Warning bells and lightning strikes Cannot penetrate my blissful haze So sure I’ve seen the light Alone, not me tonight Like a moth drawn to the flame I get burned but I fly right back again You’d think with all my hindsight Maybe just this once I’d get it right Sneak up on my blindside You might steal my heart tonight Should give it time, just wait and see Are you really who you appear to be Cause even after all these years It’s still hard to resist a pretty face I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it twice Yet I ignore my own best advice And like a moth drawn to the flame Here’s the part where I fly right back again You’d think with all my hindsight Maybe just this once I’d get it right Sneak up on my blindside You might steal my heart tonight But your kiss I do believe And you hold me so tenderly You’d think with all my hindsight Maybe just this once I’d get it right Sneak up on my blindside You might steal my heart tonight Yeah, sneak up on my blindside Cause I think this time I finally got it right!

Evil Lurks There 02:44
lyrics
buy track
You’re making me wait And I can’t take it A prisoner by the phone Feeling small Too much space And my mind’s wandering To the darkest place I can recall And evil lurks there Yes evil lurks there How can silence Be so strong To wake an enemy From the dead Voices luring And my heart’s hammering As I fall Toward the place I dread And evil lurks there Yes evil lurks there Trying to drag me down Push me around Yes evil lurks there It’s turning me inside out Crushing hope and casting doubt I heard your promises But my head’s spinning In a war that I’m not winning And evil lurks there Yes evil lurks there Trying to drag me down Push me around Yes evil lurks there

No Man's Land 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I was a cowboy In my younger days I wish I’d never left that life How I loved my cowboy ways The road was long and dusty But the nights cool and clean A million stars in the sky I was living the dream CHORUS But I went out searching To see what more I could find Pity I didn’t know what I had Or what I’d leave behind I followed you into town We set up house and home It was never my intention To leave you alone I thought that we would settle down I thought I’d be ok But the road kept on calling Calling me away CHORUS I need those wide-open spaces But now I’m lonely too So here I am in no man’s land Here I am in no man’s land Here I am in no man’s land Aching for my life with you But I’ll keep on searching To see what I can find... So I’ll go on searching... CHORUS X2 Why did I leave you behind How could I have left you behind

My Armour Opened 03:59
lyrics
buy track
There’s a hunger here That I’ve never known A vitality is growing Destiny just waiting to unfold And comfort in what used to leave me cold, yeah You took me to this place Showed me what safe is And my armor opened With my heart exposed Eyes closed My armor opened In my solitude There’s room for doubt If I start sinking can I pull myself out Well I’ve disbelieved and I’ve mistrusted And sometimes I just don’t know what trust is, what trust is Rap: Well you open up your heart but now it’s broken up in parts And we’re picking up the pieces but we’re not sure where to start Yes you opened up your mind to relationships unkind And now you’re scared to love again no matter who you find Though love can make you see it can also make you blind To the pain you feel inside when your trust in someone dies And it’s so hard to confide in the folks who fed you lies So you look them in the eyes and tell yourself you must be wise And time heals the pain so we all learn to adjust As we balance the need for companionship and trust With the need for feeling safe which is obviously a must Don’t want to get burned again can’t get left back in the dust Now you’re shaking off the rust, uneasy feeling flush As you navigate terrain between them and us Relationships are work it takes time to build up trust But get back in the game girl, love is such a rush If it starts fading away (and if it fades away will it take the pain away) And colors turn to grey (You scraped and scrubbed but you couldn’t get the stain away) If all I see (and as we learn the way) is uncertainty (we can be led astray) Remind me of what still can be (let’s learn to trust again and start today) You took me to this place Showed me what safe is And my armor opened With my heart exposed Eyes closed My armor opened .. Cause you You took me to this place Showed me what safe is And my armor opened With my heart exposed Eyes closed My armor opened Yeah my armour opened

I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah I might get knocked down But I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah and if I get knocked down, I will rise I step into each day with my eyes wide open So many resigned people who’d wanted more They’re wishing for this and missing that but they let it go Afraid to open the unknown door But I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah I might get knocked down But I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah and if I get knocked down, I will rise To settle in and settle down, well I don’t think so I know they mean well when they say Don’t do this and do that, but how can I heed them I’m not willing to live that way Cause I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah I might get knocked down But I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah and if I get knocked down, I will rise I’ve been told my head’s in the cloud For thinking I can do what I want to But I need to feel how it is to really live So I’m following my dreams and all I know is I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah I might get knocked down But I’m gonna run, gonna fly I may stumble and I may cry Yeah and if I get knocked down, I will rise I will rise – I will rise

Don’t be brave for me I know your heart’s breaking Yeah, now I’m starting to see I’m starting to see you’re a man in the making I wish I could take your pain And shield you from the rain But here’s the part I can’t bear You’ll learn life’s hardest lessons Without me there Every time, every time you ache You know I, I ache with you But you’ll make, I know you’ll make your mistakes Yeah and I’ve gotta let you I wish I could take your pain And shield you from the rain But here’s the part I can’t bear You’ll learn life’s hardest lessons Without me there Bridge Oooos I wish I could take your pain And shield you from the rain But here’s the part I can’t bear You’ll learn life’s hardest lessons Without me there Without me there Without me there Without me there Without me there Without me there Without me there

Ping In my Belly 02:48
lyrics

On the day that we first met I must admit I was dubious But my friend said, “take a look” And I became curious Seemed you were nice enough and kind of shy But when you got my attention, you looked me straight in the eye Now I get that ping in my belly Whenever you’re near Yeah and my knees turn to jelly It’s almost more than I can bear You started out slow Took me by surprise Acted like a real gentleman So unlike all those other guys Now I get that ping in my belly Whenever you’re near Yeah and my knees turn to jelly It’s almost more than I can bear Can I be rational while I’m on cloud nine I think you’re winning me over I’m not running for cover I can’t think of another Sure hope I’m right this time Now I get that ping in my belly Whenever you’re near Yeah and my knees turn to jelly It’s almost more than I can bear Cause I get that ping in my belly Whenever you’re near Yeah and my knees turn to jelly Oh dear!

I Can't Believe 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I search the sky, cry out to the sea Hoping a reason will be clear to me And though I try, I can’t comprehend The loving words of my friends Cause I can’t believe there’s any kind of plan Where somebody already sees And I don’t believe in anybody’s God That could take you away from me Now what am I supposed to do With this empty place that once was you I want to scream, I want you to call There’s no comfort in a photograph at all And I can’t believe there’s any kind of plan Where somebody already sees And I don’t believe in anybody’s God That could take you away from me All I know is I can’t breathe All I see is disbelief All I feel, All I feel All I feel is grief And I don’t believe in any kind of plan Where somebody already sees And I can’t believe that anybody’s God Would take you from me

In My Veins 03:57

Feel my heart crumble See my face fall All it took was that one moment But that one moment said it all Would it have been so very hard To come down from where you reign Would it have been so very hard To say my name CHORUS I had forgotten But it was clearly in my veins Yeah in my veins The visceral ache Again so plain And in my veins This could have been your moment You could have shown that you had changed But I don’t think it crossed your mind You weren’t about to share the stage CHORUS Did you ever wonder What you might have missed If you’d looked into my eyes You’d have seen what lay behind them Wasn’t something you could fix with just a kiss CHORUS The visceral ache Again so very plain And in my veins

Roiling Sea 02:56

The wind is howling today Just might blow my whole world away I’m trying to hold on to What I have now, and something new Oh that roiling sea Got two worlds pulling me One that’s safe and sound And one where possibilities abound A life built on shifting sand Still looking for that sure place to land Terrified I might fall Terrified I might lose it all Oh that roiling sea Got two worlds pulling me One that’s safe and sound And one where possibilities abound I just want to close my eyes Keep the storm outside Feel my heartbeat Listen to the rain There’s you and me Complicated as it may be With roots entangled and strong Tell me how can this be wrong Oh that roiling sea Got two worlds pulling me One that’s safe and sound And one where possibilities abound

Cocoon 03:12

I want to crawl into a cocoon Go back to the womb Where no one will ask, no one will see Let the darkness cover me I’m not trying to forget But it hurts to remember Your face, fear in your eyes And I’m helpless What about the stories left untold Answers I’ll never know A past full of love, a past full of pain A stoic heart holding on til the end I’m not trying to forget But it hurts to remember Your face, fear in your eyes And I’m helpless Could you hear me when I cried Could you hear me when I whispered goodbye I’m not trying to forget But it hurts to remember Your face, fear in your eyes And I’m helpless
