Shine

My eyes are closed
And I want to stay inside
It's cold outside again
I’m so tired to begin
Though I know you’d like to go
I’d really like to hide
I close my eyes
The morning comes
Let's go out and take a ride
We can go where you may want
It’s not far your favorite haunt
We can breathe the morning air
You can let down your long hair
We can shine
Shine shine shine
All we have to do is shine
My eyes are closed
And I'm running back to you
I don’t want to waste your time
But you’ve kept me on the line
And you know I want to stay
please tell me you don’t mind
And we will shine

Perfect As I See
04:15

Filled up with doubt I have a plan
Make me so proud I know you can
Time and time again you lift me up my friend
I can only say that I will miss you and I love you
This is your life go see the world
Please don’t forget tears that we wept
Time and time again you lift me up and then
I can only see that it’s beautiful it's all so new
And I need to know that you’ll be fine
I just have to have some peace of mind
Yet I know that you will come to be
Perfect as I see
Hundreds of miles under your soles
Follow the stars see where you are
Time and time again you lift me up and then
I can only see that it’s beautiful it's all so new

So Much To Say
03:37
|
|||
|
What if it hasn't gone the way you planned
It is what it is at least that’s what I've heard you say
Taking you back a place you once belonged
Nothing but fun a simple time where has this been
Making amends with friends you haven't seen
Loving the laughs and drinks we’ve shared
where has this been
There's so much to say
Too much for one day
There's so much to say

Nothing Lasts
03:44

I'd say nothing can go wrong
You'd say nothing lasts for long
Tangled in loose ends
I know I can't pretend
I've never felt this way
Will it ever end
You said we went too fast
And you said this wouldn't last
We’ve given all we can
And now I see it’s come undone
I'd say nothing can go wrong
You'd say nothing lasts for long
I'd pray we’d get it right this time
You'd say say nothing lasts for long
I really can't decide
If it's time to have regrets
Yet I see you're on your way
And that you're never coming back
I'd really like to know
Had you planned this all along
Broken windows fall in place
Shattered love will find its space
I'd say nothing can go wrong
You'd say nothing lasts for long
I'd pray we'd get it right this time
You'd say nothing lasts for long
You know this song's for you not me
And all the things we could have been
I'd say it again nothing lasts

Why Why Why
03:40
|

I've always said hello I’ve always waved goodbye
At least I thought I did alright I never tried
The thought of what you'd say maybe some other day
The thought of knowing you will this come my way
I've always wanted to I've always said I should
I always said I would and now I wish I could
I saw your smile shine not that long ago
The though of knowing you all so far to go
All you have to do is walk on by
And all you have to do is simply smile smile smile
You never asked me you never knew
What I was up to then I feel so blue
I'm falling harder now I cannot sleep
I'm climbing mountains yeah they’re really steep
I know I'll figure out, and you will too
It's all we have now girl, just me and you
Just not together I'll earn your trust
I'll always love you yes I always will
All you have to do is walk on by
And all you have to do is simply smile smile smile
Why why why why'd I ever let this go
A chance to let you know it’s time I'll say I'll try
How how how can we say we did our best
It's time to figure out or put this thought to rest
I made a promise girl it's one I’ll keep
You just don’t know it yet it runs so deep
I'll make a new life now I'll get it straight
Please know I meant well no it's not too late

She Prays
04:02
|
|||
|
At night when she prays
She feels strong
It all feels so right can't be wrong
It takes her to another place
heaven
She's got to believe
Don't know what to tell you
The truth is all she knows
Read it in the papers
The story will unfold
She will be the first one
To tell you it's so cold
She will be the last one
To say she's getting old
Could you just give her time and love
I know she'll just think it's from above

Ever Hear The Words
04:16
|
|||
|
Did you know your words they cut they praised it was loud
A million little cuts with every one
Everything I said I'd pause I'd stay and I'd pray
A little lost inside more with every word
So now this is how it is
I know we're not the only ones
Now I really can't decide
Was it better to have loved
And pushed aside my pride
How it seems I can’t forget
What should have been the best
Now will go down such a mess
Thinking of the past we laughed we learned
we changed
The sadness takes hold & shakes me down every time I say goodbye

Round And Round
03:22
|
|||
|
I can't believe this is happening
A story seldom told
And in the end you're left wondering
Into the days of old
Round and round and round we go
Where this stops nobody knows
Perhaps it’s how the truth gets told
I miss you my old friend
Round and round and round we go
Where this stops nobody knows
Perhaps it’s how this life gets old
I'll miss you everyday
In your world we're not the same
Yet no one can be blamed
Just wish I could have known your pain
You lost it’s such a shame

Does Anybody Know?
04:11

You've been there with your father and yet you'd like to know
It takes you to the top again and fails you in the end
You know this could be easy yet it seems so far away
To let times slide and say we'll meet again some other day
Well i can see everything's done with a reason
Explain to me anything close to the meanings
I would love to know
Does anybody know
Does anybody care
What is this that we're breathing
Yeah what is this in the air
It's time to come together
You've been there with your father and yet you'll never know
It takes you to the top again and it never lets you go
You know this could be easy yet it seems so far away
To let times slide and say we'll meet again some other day
Well I can see everything's done with a reason
Explain to me anything close to the meanings
I would love to know

I Believe
03:41

I hear the words that you once spoke
I think it’s time to break this down
I know you haven't told the truth
I know you haven't come around
You're near the end and wonder why
While all alone before you die
You hear the words that you once spoke you lie
I believe
I believe
Although your life has come and gone
I will remember you were strong
I know you meant well with those times
I know you killed us with those lines
It's time to put this all aside
There's no more running just to hide
A life to live with no regrets
I hope you know we won't forget
I believe that I can see you
life please let this go
And I may be you and I don't want to
Life please let me go
I believe
I believe
Although your life has come and gone
I know I'll always think of you
I know it's time to move beyond
I just can’t seem to let this go
It's how we know that this is time
I just hope someday that I'm fine
I believe that I can see you
Life please let this go
And I may be you and I don't want to
Life please let me go
