Fooled Again

|
VERSE 1:
When we first met I fell in love with that sparkle in your eyes.
Who knew that the sparkle was only a disguise?
You fed me streams of lines I thought were real back then;
You fooled me once with your pretty eyes, but
I won’t be fooled again.
VERSE 2:
At first it seemed so good to be in love with you,
But I was left hating myself when I found you’d been untrue.
You threw away everything that we could have been;
You fooled me once with your pretty eyes, but
I won’t be fooled again.
VERSE 3:
Well now you’re back outside my door saying we should start again.
You say that you miss my love acting like we are still friends.
When I last gave you my trust I cried for months on end;
You fooled me once with your pretty eyes,
But I, but I won’t be fooled again.

The Way I Do
03:20

|
Verse 1:
There are lots of other boys around,
Who drive nice cars that can take you all over town.
They write songs to make your heart swoon
That hide the fact that they don’t care about you.
Pre-Chorus:
You might ask what makes me different, well
Chorus:
I’m the one who will never say that we only have tonight,
Because you’ll see when tomorrow comes I’ll still be by your side.
And all of those boys with their shiny fast toys,
They will never love you the way I do.
Verse 2:
There are lots of other boys nearby,
Who say there is nothing beyond a single night.
They justify their words with clever melodies,
Saying, “There’s no tomorrow oh, baby please”
Pre-Chorus:
They might say that they will love you, but it’s not true cause
Chorus 2:
I’m the one who will never say that we only have tonight,
Because you’ll see when tomorrow comes I’ll still be by your side.
And all of those guys with their pick-up lines,
They will never love you the way I do.
I’m the one who will never say that we only have tonight,
Because you’ll see when tomorrow comes I’ll still be by your side.
And all of those boys with their shiny fast toys,
They will never love you the way I do.

Dangerous World
03:45
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
It’s a dangerous world for dreamers,
But a desperate world for dreams;
For most give up hope
On the dreams of their own,
And don’t make them reality.
CHORUS:
Oh, the places you’ll go,
To great things I know,
Cause that’s what you always do.
We will meet again,
If not in life then,
We’ll meet at the very end.
Where we will embark towards the light in the dark,
Grab some coffee and talk like we used to do.
VERSE 2:
It’s a dangerous world to live in,
But a beautiful world for life.
Though it’s not perfect,
You should never forget
Those dreams deep within your eyes.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I can’t bring myself to say goodbye
As you turn to board your train.
All of these words deep within my heart
That I just can’t seem to say.
How when you’re with me,
I’m who I want to be and
How maybe I think that I love you.
VERSE 3:
It’s a dangerous world for lovers;
It’s a dangerous world indeed.
I’m in love with a girl
In this dangerous world,
And the girl that I love must leave.

All This Just To Say
02:48
|

|
Verse 1:
You’re the knot in my bow tie,
When I need to look my best.
You’re the beauty to my beast,
And all the buttons on my vest.
You are the ink within my pen
That illuminates the page.
You’re the perfect set of words,
When I don’t know what to say.
Chorus:
All this just to say,
I’m in love with you.
Verse 2:
You’re the feeling that I get
After a long day on my feet,
When I finally sit down
And slowly drift to sleep.
You’re my favorite book to read,
That I read it all the time.
It’s still as exciting as the first,
Though I know almost every line.
Chorus
Bridge:
Although I may be a pearl still in process,
And sometimes just a thorn in your side,
I will keep all those things that I promise
For I am yours and baby, you are mine,
From now until the end of our lives.
End:
All this just to say,
I’m in love with you.

Kids Again
04:02

|
VERSE 1
Do you remember when we both were just 18?
We fell in love, took our vows, and exchanged rings,
Then we drove off in my beat-up car.
We moved into our small apartment with all we had:
An old TV, a small loveseat, and 3 large duffel bags.
I wish I could have brought you more.
CHORUS:
If we could be kids again, I think I’d do everything different.
I would have bought you a place filled with anything you’d ever want.
If we could be kids again; if we could be kids again
VERSE 2:
Do you remember when we both were 23?
I worked full-time at a deli up the street,
And you sold used books for little pay.
Sure we were happy but we were so very poor;
Cheap DVDs and packaged treats were all we could afford.
We did our best, but lived day to day.
CHORUS 2:
If we could be kids again, I think I’d do everything different.
I would have picked a career that provided life of luxury.
If we could be kids again; if we could be kids again
BRIDGE:
It took me years to understand what you meant when you said
That I was the richest man you’d ever met.
For what I lacked, I made up for with my love,
And to you that was more than enough.
For you found your greatest joy
Receiving the vow kept by an 18-year-old boy.
CHORUS 3:
If we could be kids again, I wouldn’t do anything different.
All of those things we faced made us grow stronger in our love.
If we could be kids again, I’d do it all over again.
VERSE 3:
Do you remember when we both were 64?
Despite our lives and troubled times we still endure

This Broken Form
03:47
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Every footstep’s a battle
Every new day’s a war
Every time I try to pick myself up
I’m more of a mess than I was before
PRE-CHORUS:
All I want is, all I need but
Even that can, feel like just a dream
So here I am, simply asking
For a chance to be set free
CHORUS:
I am empty and dry
I can’t give anymore
I need something to breathe new life
Inside this broken form
VERSE 2:
I’m not good at starting over, but then again
When was I good at starting at all
‘cause when my heart is open
Everything tends to fall, away
PRE-CHORUS 2:
There’s a weight on my shoulders that I just can’t carry,
I’m fallin down
I land on my face and I’m thinkin of ways
To call in some aid before I pass out
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Wait, is someone there?
A place to cast all my burdens and cares
This weight is nothing but a past affair
My fate, I’ve been saved from despair
CHORUS 2:
I’m not empty or dry
I can give so much more
I found something to breathe new life
Inside this broken form (x3)

Sunshine

Verse 1:
Hello, how are you?
How have you been feeling lately?
You don’t know how lovely you look tonight.
Let’s let your hospital gown
Substitute for a wedding dress,
And we’ll pretend it’s the rest of our lives.
Chorus:
Don’t fall asleep tonight;
Please don’t close your eyes,
Cause I can’t bear to say goodbye.
Your weary eyes are
Still so beautiful.
Know that I will stay with you forever.
Verse 2:
Your hospital bed is calling your name,
But don’t give in it’ll be your grave.
Just grab my hand and hold on tight.
Those white lights are calling you home,
But don’t go,
Cause I can’t bear to be alone.
[Chorus]
Bridge:
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
Long I sit by your bedside table.
How I pray for the day that you’ll come home.
Just grab my hand oh so tight,
And you will last through the night.
Promises that were made between me and you,
Stay with me and I swear that they’ll come true.
Just grab my hand oh so tight,
And you will be alright.
