Autumn
03:22

Hot summer days graze on my skin
And every day it seems I'm sinking in
And in a place where all the world goes to escape
I just wanna get away
Cause I miss the stars, the kind in the sky
I guess I'm sick of watching only cars go by
Feels like all I need is just some air to breathe,
Just a little fresh air
I miss autumn when I'm out there
I wanna see the leaves turn from green to red
And I wanna know what the wind just said
Cause I miss the raindrops falling on my head in the brisk autumn air
And I wanna fly head first into a pile of leaves
And run around them till it's hard to breathe
Just to feel the cool fall breeze underneath the oak trees
Yeah, that's where I wanna be
I miss autumn when I'm out there
Oh, but it's not the leaves and it's not the wind
It's not the rain upon my skin
There's something about the autumn, baby
That makes me think of you
And it's so lonely in a crowded world
When all I want is to be your girl
I miss you baby
I miss the autumn
I wanna see your lips turn into a smile
Honey, just seeing your face makes my day worth while
In your loving squeeze underneath the oak trees
Yeah, that's where I wanna be
Cause I miss autumn
I miss autumn
I miss autumn
When I'm out there
When I'm out there
I miss you baby when I'm out there in the autumn

God, Let Me Love Him
03:41
|

For years I've waited,
Anticipated what was to come
A dream that could only come true for some
Then he came up kindly,
Finding the courage to finally let me know
He cared, but for me it wasn't so
Am I just blind?
Is it my heart, or is it my mind?
Cause this is all that I've wanted
For all of this time
I wish someone could come and
Just change my mind
God, let me love him
And could you make all my dreams be of him?
Because I know what it's like to be where he stands
But this is out of my hands
So let me love him
Or let him love somebody else
So we talked last night
Fighting back words that were better left unsaid
They still linger on the edges of my head
And it killed me to say
Maybe this time we're better off as friends
Cause isn't that how it always seems to end?
Did I make a mistake?
Is this a decision I'm not ready to make?
Cause this is all that I've wanted
For all of this time
So how can I lose it, when the choice is mine?
God, let me love him
And could you make all my dreams be of him?
Because I know what it's like to be where he stands
But this is out of my hands
So let me love him or let him love somebody else
And it feels so wrong but it sounds so right
I think about it every night
And it's killing me cause I cannot see what to do
And then there's you, oh
God, let me love him
And could you make all my dreams be of him?
Because I know what it's like to be where he stands
But this is out of my hands
So please let me love him
God, let me love him
And could you make all my dreams be of him?
Because I know what it's like to be where he stands
But this is out of my hands
So let me love him, or let him love somebody else

764
05:04
|
|||
|
764 was written on the door
Written on the chart
The hourlies check in, but where do I begin
To say what's on my heart
The writing on the wall, it caught up with us all
And put us in a room
Our sisters and our brothers, mere days ago just others
Help fight away this gloom
Oh, and when they told us they were wondering why we're here
One mother made it clear
That it ain't nothing but the devil weighing you down
And it ain't nothing but the devil's dust dirtying the water
And it ain't nothing but the devil making you frown
So you gotta keep your head, ain't nobody ever better off dead
I'm dreaming of the sun, but the journey's just begun
There's still a ways to go
And the piano's out of tune, but it won't be mended soon
What with all the snow
And the alarm goes off in "D," my second favorite key
And all I can do is lie in bed and find another harmony
So is this the place to be for somebody like me?
Or is it all in my head, I think it's all in my head
I remember what she told me, she said
It ain't nothing but the devil weighing you down
And it ain't nothing but the devil inside your mind,
Gotta leave him behind, leave him behind
It ain't no one but the devil making you frown
So you gotta keep your head cause mama always said
If you're breathing you're living and ain't nobody ever better off dead
Ain't nobody better off dead
764 was written on my door,
Written on my heart
And I couldn't hide the shame that inevitably came
With my name on their chart
Oh, but I've been to hell and back and now I know
Lord, I know
That it wasn't nothing but the devil weighing me down
And it wasn't nothing but the devil inside my mind
So I'm leaving him behind
It wasn't nothing but the devil making me frown
So I learned to keep my head
Cause ain't nobody ever better off
Dead

I Can Only Hope
03:36
|
|||
|
You gave me all you had and
I reacted less than glad
I never could figure this out
Cause I read between the lines and
I misread all your signs and
When I lash out, I don't know what I'm talking about
I miscommunicated
Cause I appreciated you being there
Showing me that you care
And I can only hope
I can only hope that you know
I'll be there through thick and thin
Cause you're the blood beneath my skin
Guess it's just that I love you so and
I hate to see you go and
Sometimes I take it the wrong way
Cause I'm waiting on some scars to heal
And you're the first thing I've found that's real
Sometimes I forget it's a new day
And when I don't know what to do
I take it out on you
But no, it's not fair
Don't you know that I care?
And I can only hope
I can only hope that you know
I'll be there through thick and thin
Cause you're the blood beneath my skin
I'm jumping off this sinking ship
Cause I know that you won't let me fall
And I'll be there for you through it all
And I can only hope
I can only hope that you know
I'll be there through thick and thin
Cause you're the blood beneath my skin
I can only hope
Baby, I hope that you know
I'll be there through thick and thin
Cause you're the blood beneath my skin
I can only hope

Drifting Apart
04:41
|
|||
|
Another month gone by
Didn't even leave time to cry
And this impatient world is saying it's long overdue
But I got to thinking, when was the last time I saw you?
And I don't know what to say
Guess it wasn't supposed to happen that way
Are we drifting, are we drifting apart?
Are we back to the start?
Oh, are we drifting? It feels like we're drifting away
Right back to the day,
The day that we met
I haven't forgotten you yet
So I guess you know by now
Deep inside I really wanted it to work somehow
But the times are a-changing,
And boy, are they changing so fast
I guess it's a lesson that not every friendship can last
And I don't know what to say
It was never supposed to be this way
Are we drifting, are we drifting apart?
Are we back to the start?
Oh, are we drifting? It feels like we're drifting away
Right back to the day
The day that we met
I haven't forgotten you yet
Are you lonely? Am I the only one
Who misses you so?
Oh, are you sorry? Do you worry
That you might have just let me go?
I don't know, I guess I don't know
What you wanted this to be
Do you remember me?
Are we drifting, are we drifting apart?
Are we back to the start?
Are we drifting? it feels like we're drifting away
Right back to the day,
The day that we met
I haven't forgotten you

I Feel You
03:27
|
|||
|
I'm acting differently, easy for you to see
And you're asking me why
It's hard for me to say that I'm feeling this way
About you and I
Alone in my bed, you're still in my head
You follow me everywhere I go
You broke my heart's seal, and how do I feel?
I think that you know, I think that you know
What I feel is you all over me
It's not the kind of thing that you can touch, that you can see
Oh, baby it's just me falling in love with you, falling in love with you
The sound of just your name is driving me insane
Wondering if maybe you feel it too
The nights I spend alone, I'm staring at the phone
Hoping to hear from you
Alone in my bed, you're still in my head
You follow me everywhere I go
Yeah this is for real, the way that I feel
I think that you know, I think that you know
What I feel is you all over me
It's not the kind of thing that you can touch, that you can see
Oh, baby it's just me falling in love with you, falling in love with you
The tension's building everyday
Cause I can't wait to see ya, take you home with me- yeah
And I'm losing my control, so come on and let me know
What I feel is you, all over me
It's not the kind of thing that you can touch, that you can see
Oh, baby it's just me falling in love with you, oh
What I feel is you, all over me
It's not the kind of thing, you can touch, you can see oh,
Baby it's just me falling in love with you,
Falling in love with you, yeah

Handprints
04:53
|
|||
|
When I was really little
I stamped my handprints on a piece of paper
And you framed them and hung them on the wall
And it's been years since I've noticed them
Hanging there untouched
So today when I saw them
They seemed awfully small
And I wondered where the years had gone
As I pressed my hands to the glass
As time flew, my handprints grew
It seems I grew up too fast
So I withdrew my hands
And I looked at all they'd done
Some things had changed since
My hands were that small
And when I brought them to my eyes
They wiped away familiar tears
Wishing I could just redo it all
And I wondered how life got this way
As I looked into the glass
A much older face was staring back
It seems I grew up too fast
But you can't redo the past
And the choices you make will last
For longer than you know
And it's so hard to let go
But you've gotta learn from mistakes
And as much as it breaks your heart,
You can't go back but you can move on
When I was really little
I had my whole life ahead of me
I could be anything I dreamed
And when I pressed my handprints down
The paint captured all my dreams
As futile as it seems
And now to touch those painted hands
It feels like touching the past
And we may never understand
Just why we grow up so fast

The Hope
04:45
|
|||
|
To feel wasted, broken hearted
It's enough to make you feel better left unsaid
To feel sorry for something you didn't even do
It's enough to feel like the whole world rests on you
Tears like a pill that won't go down
(You're like a pill that won't go down)
My heavy heart can't hide a frown
It's the hope,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
This damn hope,
(The hope is written on my face)
Rip my heart out,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
I don't want to hope
(Don't make me hope)
To be crying and to feel like you're better off dying
It's enough to make you feel you're giving up
And to notice that I broke this chance to be happy
It's enough to make me feel I've had enough
Tears like a pill that won't go down
(You're like a pill that won't go down)
My heavy heart can't hide a frown
It's the hope,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
This damn hope,
(The hope is written on my face)
Rip my heart out,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
I don't want to hope
(Don't make me hope)
I was a lost and lonely sheep
I gave you my heart for to keep
And you left it there with me
It's enough to make me see
That it's the hope
This damn hope
That someday I will get to love
(Will I ever get to love?)
That keeps on breaking my heart
It's the hope,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
This damn hope,
(The hope is written on my face)
Rip my heart out,
(A smile just feels so out of place)
I don't want to hope
(The hope is written on my face)
I don't want to hope
(A smile just feels so out of place)
Don't make me hope
(Don't make me hope)
Anymore

This Love
03:14
|
|||
|
It doesn't take much,
Somehow I break everything I touch
Yeah, this Midas might as well be who I am
And I'm lost
With everything that I do in a different cost
But when you're running away it's hard to know
Where you stand
I'm slipping, yeah I never thought I'd fall for you
I'm tripping, can't walk straight in my own two shoes
Cause I know you don't feel the same
It's my heart to blame
But baby please believe me
I'm on my knees begging to relieve me of this love
Of this love
Of this love
So take a note
Listen closely to every word that I wrote
I'm not pleading for love I'm needing to leave
Cause I've tried, yeah I've tried
To hide this feeling just to breathe
And I'm thinking, how did I ever get to fall for you
I'm sinking, don't know what else I can do
Cause I know you don't feel the same
It's my heart to blame
So baby please believe me
I'm on my knees begging to relieve me of this love
Of this love
Of this love
And I've never been one to resent love
It's just that I can't love him
So baby please believe me
I'm on my knees begging to relieve me of this love
Of this love
Of this love

So Much More
04:21
|
|||
|
Were you always so understanding?
Always oh so faithful and true?
In a world so cold and demanding
How did I find you?
For so long it felt like I was all alone
Like I'd taken the road travelled by none
And then when I found you I found home
And those days were done
And it wasn't till the end of the road that I noticed
That I didn't need to cry those tears anymore
It feels like I finally found my home in you
You've given me so much more to be living for
It was dark out there when I found you
Waiting patiently for me
And the light that seemed to surround you
Made my blind eyes see
And it wasn't till the end of the road that I noticed
That I didn't need to cry those tears anymore
It feels like I finally found my home in you
You've given me so much more to be living for
And unlike before, there isn't a door
That I feel like I can't open anymore
Because you're what I've waited for
And it wasn't till the end of the road that I noticed
That I didn't need to cry those tears anymore
And now I'm at the end of the road and I've realized
That I'll never need to cry those tears anymore
It feels like I finally found my home in you
You've given me so much more to be living for
Ooh
