Over You
I loved you from the start
Your picture’s hung on the walls of my heart
If love measured in miles
We’d be on the moon just from your smile
But I can’t help it

Chorus*
I want to tell you the truth  
I want to tell it to you 
I want to tell you the truth
I am over you
I want tell you the truth 
I want to tell you 
I am over you oh oh oh 
I am over you

We’re hanging on the wings of joy
We’re hanging but we’re getting destroyed
No this is not a phase
We’ve been dying in so many ways 
But I can’t help it*

*
There’s not much left to say
We’ve been talking about this thing for days
And our hearts are just so sore
We’ve been talking about our hearts so sore
But I can’t help this*

Waiting
I am sure, that this is not what you intended, 
and all these years, 
silently you watched and waited, 
and now its time, for us to say alright, but its not alright is it

I don't mind, if you don't have the time to give us
and its okay, if we don't have the strength to make it, 
and it'll be alright, if we don't have the words to say it
you don't have to say it

* Chorus 
Well you know, I'd give you love,
but I don't think you want it right now, 
and one thing I know, I would stay here waiting

I believe, that this dream was meant for sleeping, 
and I can see, that pushing on would only make it worse
now you have the chance, but you aren't going to take it
are you, you aren't going to take it*

Bridge
I am sure, that things will work there own way out, 
and I will be fine, if you decide to say that its just not right *

Pretty Pictures
Breathe 

Divine words right before your eyes
Interpretations spitting from your lips
But you don’t seem to hear them 
Loudly trying to call
Giving you the answers but*

*Chorus
You can’t see anything but walls
All around you walls
They make you feel secure, secure
You painted pretty pictures of the sky
Girly painted them sky blue
So you don’t have to have a clue

Why not just put the past aside
Let it sleep then let it die
Be in the moment 
And feel the journey out
The truth knows no doubt*

Bridge
See your life as walking in your dreams 
Free your heart and give it room to breath
Grow your love by giving it away
Give more when you’re afraid
In fear you will be broken
You will be broken if*

Breathe

Free Advice
I saw a man at the bus stop
And he was giving out advice
It seems he'd seen a lot of trouble and pain
And he didn't want anyone to go through the same, he said

Don't count on anyone but yourself
Everyone's only looking out for themself
Tell your kiddies hold on tight
Hold to your hearts with all your might 'cause

*Chorus
Life's gonna getcha
Life's gonna getcha if you don't

Listening to his words, I let most slip away
But one thing he said well it stayed in my head, he said
Find your center feel your stride 
Find your purpose and you'll be alright cause*

Well you know what they say about free advice
But sometimes a word can change a life
So I'm passing on to you what I took with me
Dig down deep in your soul and find the love that you own and 
Hold on hold on hold on hold on cause*

Love Alone
Though I try, it seems there's nothing I can do
So I'll wait and try and see this whole life through
There've been men who want so much to be like you 
in my heart, and though I speak, the words come slow
and they are few

Though I want
there's no getting
Though I try
your love is not sharing
Though I give 
there's no answer to my stare

And though I sleep, 
there's no escaping dreams of you 
I can't fight 
'cause I know in the end that I won't win

Though I want only you
there is no getting
Though I try 
your love is not sharing
Though I give 
there's no answer to my stare

In my heart I can see the bitter truth
I know I’m meant to love this love alone
But I don't want to
I want you 
but I don't want to love you 
anymore

I've been touched so deep within my soul
that I'll wait 'til we die to be with you once more

I know that’s when you'll realize
I know that’s when you'll care
I know that’s when you couldn't imagine a world 
you would never imagine your world
without me there without me there without 
me there

Though I try, it seems there's nothing I can do

Gonna Make You Feel

Escape
*Chorus

*I need an escape
some special place
far far away
I need an escape
some special place
far far away
away 
away

This crazy world
it turns me inside out
and it makes me want to run and hide
dive in my bed
never to come out
and dream into oblivion
oblivion 
oblivion*

Last night I heard a running through my head
echoes from a secret path 
on which I long to tread
deep in my heart I know that day is sure to come
but now is when I long to run
away
away 
away

Bridge

To a place with 
no hidden agendas
sewn with bad intentions
and no survival of the fittest
just love so pure and true
flourishing with tall tall trees
I can run through
This special place will have
rain when streams are thirsty
and sun when the buds want to bloom
Soft beds
softer that a bird's plume 
Kisses from a child's lips and
cuddly hugs too*

Gonna Make You Feel
Put another friend in the friendship graveyard today
It really felt like shit but I know its better this way
There's only so much square footage in a life
and if you clean out the strife you can let in some light
So come on in new friends, come on now don't be scared
I'll give your heart a healing, but only if you dare 'cause

It's tough out there, you can't be yourself
cause everybody stares and they want you to be something else 
Sometimes it's easier to lock your heart away
abandon the dreams you have the ones that make you strange
So come on creators, come on now don't be scared
I'll give your heart a healing, but only if you dare 'cause
*

*Chorus

I'm gonna make you feel 
I'm gonna make you feel
I'm gonna make you feel
I'm gonna make you feel


My social circle is ambient and light
no room for needy or poor souls who lack insight 
There's only so much guiding one good friend can do
but if you're willing to work it out well then we can search for truth 
So come on you fearless, come on now don't be scared
I'll give your heart a healing but only if you dare 'cause*

Bridge

What is in your head? 
Do you like yourself? 
What is in your heart? 
Do you admire who you are? 
Open up your mind I think that you will find
 I think that you're gonna like how*

Dream dream dream

Passion
The music the feelings, the lightness in my heart
The smell, all these feelings which I wish to make a part
To take with me forever 
Such great bliss 
These long drives

The music inside the winds will wash 
The smiles of complete and utter satisfaction
To take from another the best of what is given
To believe and to understand

*Chorus

Passion such passion
That head sensation,
Realize those roots-
God God God oh God

The many moments end good or bad
But the feelgoods are collecting inside my soul
Yes it is within my soul*

The music the feelings the lightness in my heart
The smell all these feelings which I wish to make a part
To take with me forever 
Such great bliss
These long drives
These long drives
These long long long drives

The Enemy
She sees her enemy behind the door
she knows she's gonna have to put up a fight 
It takes everything inside of her 
just to hold off from taking a bite
 
Chorus*

The enemy is inside her
its everywhere everywhere she looks
She can't fight it but she tries to hide it
and it takes up her life
(Its gonna take her life)

She stares in the mirror
with a hatred that's misunderstood
She knows everyone just lies to her
how could they how could they
how could they think she looks good*

She's gonna waste away to nothing
but next to that is what she's reaching for
that's what she's reaching for
Nobody understands her
she doesn't quite understand herself

Bridge

She knows there's an answer
deep in her soul
She knows if she asks herself
she'll know which way to go*

Limbo
And you sway
back and forth 
on and off
we push and pull
tug and tear
grip and grope
about each other

With, on, on top of, 
around each other's hearts 
each other's hearts
oh oh oh oh
your heart

Sometimes its stained glass
sometimes its black
Sometimes you think that you can see the truth
but you still feel like you have to watch your back

And I sway
back and forth 
on and off 
I push and pull
grip and grope 
about each other

With, on, on top of 
around each other's hearts
each other's hearts 
oh oh oh oh
my heart

Sometimes its crystal clear
sometimes its opaque 
Sometimes I think that I can see the truth 
but I still fear that my heart will break

Bridge
We are not in love 
oh no we're not 
We are not in love
we're in limbo

And we sway
back and forth 
on and off
I push and pull
grip and grope 
about each other

With, on, on top of 
around each other's hearts
each other's hearts
oh oh oh oh
our hearts

Got to take more care of 
got to take more care of
got to be more careful with our hearts

Superficial Affair
Its really nobody's business
our superficial affair
And if they ask I won't tell them
and I'd ask if you could do the same

*Chorus

What does it matter anyway 
when our loves continue on
What does it matter, anyway

It really doesn't change a thing
our superficial affair
And who would ask about it anyway
and I know you're not fessing up to anyone in the end

It really doesn't mean a thing
our superficial affair
and the further we move on 
the less I'm going to care* 

That's all we have in common 
is our superficial affair 
All we had in common
was our superficial affair
And the further we move on
the less I'm going to care

Love Alone
Though I try, it seems there's nothing I can do
So I'll wait and try and see this whole life through
There've been men who want so much to be like you 
in my heart, and though I speak, the words come slow
and they are few

Though I want
there's no getting
Though I try
your love is not sharing
Though I give 
there's no answer to my stare

And though I sleep, 
there's no escaping dreams of you 
I can't fight 
'cause I know in the end that I won't win

Though I want only you
there is no getting
Though I try 
your love is not sharing
Though I give 
there's no answer to my stare

In my heart I can see the bitter truth
I know I’m meant to love this love alone
But I don't want to
I want you 
but I don't want to love you 
anymore

I've been touched so deep within my soul
that I'll wait 'til we die to be with you once more

I know that’s when you'll realize
I know that’s when you'll care
I know that’s when you couldn't imagine a world 
you would never imagine your world
without me there without me there without 
me there

Though I try, it seems there's nothing I can do

Just Like This
You don't have to be so lonely
I think you'd like what I am dreaming about
I can make you feel much better
If you want me to

'Cause you don't have to feel so lonely
I think you'd like what I am seeing in my head
together we can make it better
if you want me to

* Chorus

I would kiss you, just like this
And I would tease you 
just like this
And if you like it
we can make it go on and on

You know you wouldn't be so lonely
You seem to like what I am talking about
The things we'll do will make it better
if you just let go*

Now you're looking like you're feeling better
You seem to like what I was dreaming in my head
And if you like we can continue
If you want me to
