Closer 03:35
Come a little closer baby, So I can feel your breath on my cheek. 'Cause I'm just itching to itch that scratch, 'Cause I think that you'd be such a catch. I'm not trying to make things complicated, But when you're near me I just feel so sedated. You're pulling me up and then you spin me 'round, And then I'm dizzy in love and face down on the ground. Won't you, won't you love me like I want you to, And come a little bit closer too, Come a little closer to me. Speak a little softer honey, Or better yet just let your body do the talking. 'Cause I'm not waiting here to hold your hand, I want to see if you know how to be a man. Won't you, won't you love me like I want you to, And come a little bit closer too, Come a little closer, closer. Won't you, won't you hold me like I want you to, 'Cause there is nothing I wouldn't do Just to let you get closer, Oh I just want you closer to me.

A Love Song 04:15
If the world fades to black and white well I wouldn't mind, no I wouldn't cry if you are the rainbow in my skies. If the seas took us all away well I wouldn't mind, no I wouldn't pray if you are the ship sailing me away. If the birds ceased to sing their tunes well I wouldn't mind, no I would not be blue 'cause you are a love song forever new. And if the stars ceased to shine at night and you were not there to hold me tight well I'd keep on loving you. I'd love you. I'd love you.

I'm lying with my head in the grass, I'm thinking real fast. About the stars in the sky, I'm wondering why. They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow, And even when you don't see them there. They're shining on somewhere. I'm lying with my head in my pillowcase, So hard to not let the world take what it takes, So much soul exchanged just for the sake, But try to let it bend before it breaks. Such greed and poverty, we live in sick extremes, This place is killing me, where is this light I seek? In a world of such pain and disrepair, We need a light to shine on somewhere. To shine on somewhere. To shine on the children who will never hear a sweet lullaby or a peaceful night. To the ones who believe that life is do or die, you can hear them cry. I'm lying with my head in the grass, I'm thinking fast, so fast. About all the stars up in the sky, I wanna know why. They twinkle just so, they shine and they glow, When you don't see them there, They're shining on somewhere.

Here To Stay 04:48
Some got plenty, some got none, But nothing that we've got will heal the damage done. Like the seas, we will rise and fall, Evergreen, we will still stand tall. When the sun sets on you, the moon will guide you through. And where your judgment falls, one day your name it will call. Now its time to walk that line, So let's try to stand up this time. I'm tired of living the same day. I'm tired of everything that everyone's afraid to say. I'm tired of all this rain, but the rain just won't go away. The rain is here to stay. Stop talking to your wallets, and talk to me. Stop looking in the mirror for somebody to be, 'Cause it's all just make believe, So let's get back to being you and me. Are you tired of living the same old day? Are you tired of everything that everyone's afraid to say? Well I'm tired of all this rain, but the rain just won't go away. The rain is here to stay. Some got plenty, some got none, But nothing that we got will heal the damage done.

Chasing ghosts, I'm chasing ghosts around this town. When will I live, when will I live this memory down? When will I wear you out? I hear a voice when there's nobody else around. I have a choice, but I'd rather not say it out loud, When will I shout it out? In the day it's all that it seems, But when I sleep you're in my dreams. Seeping your way into my bones and blood. I'll be bound to a killing kind of love. Golden frames, golden frames surround your face. Four corners, four corners of endless black Keep me forever trapped. Until I can't see all you've down to me. Drowning in your rivers of agony. And I drink you into my bones and blood. I'll be bound to a killing kind of love.

Broken down from the paths in between, But for you I'll walk on hands and knees. Because I know you'll build me up again, And to you I'm running wild as the wind, I'm running wild as the wind. I'll be coming for you. I'll be crossing fire and I'll be burning rain, I'll be coming for you, I will see your face again. Cars and trains suit some just fine, But nothing can out run this heart of mine, Nothing's gonna run me dry. 'Cause I'll be coming for you, And there I will stay, I'll be coming for you, I won't let you slip away. No I don't walk on water, but I know just what a little love can do. And our love is alive and burning on fire, and I know that it's got to be true. It's got to be you. I'll be coming for you. I'll be coming for you, and there I will stay. Yeah I'll be coming for you, I won't let you slip away.
