Love Is Waiting In the autumn on the ground, between the traffic and the traffic
and the ordinary sounds I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell When it's time to walk that way we wana walk it well
I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold the climate changes, im singing for the strangers about you
dont keep time, slow the pace Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man
I could right a million songs about the way you say my name I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start, neither should I rush my way into your heart
Shadowfeet Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet Toward home, a land that I've never seen
I am changing Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began And I have sensed it all along Now fast approaching is the day
When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees When time and space are through
I'll be found in you There's distraction Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay But I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way You make all things new (4X)
When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet When time and space are through
Arithmetic
I've been staring at the sky tonight Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one You are the one I want, you are the one I want
I've been counting up all my wrongs One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want I won't find what I am looking for If I only "see" by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic 'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum So you are the one
When the years are showing on my face And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song You'll still be the one I want
Saving The World
Didn't I tell you everything's fine?
If there's a good and bad we're somewhere in between Often I feel like we're all navigating blind
Could we get a change of pace to set the scene
We could stay another day in this confusion Let it permeate us 'till we can't on
[Chorus]
But while we're waiting we could try saving the world Or are we storing that up for a raining day? I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn
It could be fun to try I think that I'll save the world as a fun afternoon activity
Seventy thousand things to ponder today Most significant are bottom of the list Forty five million recipes and ways
To exaggerate and compound the stress
We could stay another day in this apathy Let it permeate us 'till we're numb through
"Still In Love"
I'm not hanging on your every word I'm thriving on my self-sufficiency
I'm not listening to the things I've heard About me and you
People think there must be something to the way
I talk about you every chance I get But if I think about you night and day
Doesn't mean I'm ready yet
Maybe I am knee-deep in denial Or maybe I'm just trying to move on Maybe I should keep away awhile
But if distance is right I'd rather be wrong
[Chorus] 'Cos I love the way you're smiling at me
When you know it's true I'm still in love with you
And I love the way you're really trying Not to let me see
You're still in love with me too
I am way to proud to verbalise my feelings And you are way to mean if you just let this brew It's a complicated hand that you've been dealing
Time to win me over: fold and make your move
Smooth some calm over this situation I can't get past the way I feel for you
It's the little things that make this worth the effort It's the small, little, insignificant things you do
That make me love the way you're glancing, hoping
When you know it's true I'm still in love with you
And I love that I'm barely coping When you let me see
You're still in love with me to
In love, still in love with In love, still in love with
In love, still in love with you
"Lifeline"
I have this sinking feeling Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned Doing the thing I said I hated
They've been swimming in the wrong water
Now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out
Have your way here Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine Throw me a lifeline
Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out 'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted
'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out
They've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know, 'cos I know
Waste Another Day"
Don't you say it's too early Baby I don't wanna waste the day When we've everything on our side
And nothing in our way
We can do what we wanna 'Cos today the world is ours
Nothing gray, just real time and colour In which to whittle away the hours
We could speak 'til nothing's left unspoken We could drive 'til we've run out of road
We could drink 'til we've emptied the ocean But I'd be happy here Happy just to hold you
'Til the suns and planets disappear I could stay in your arms all year Even if that means infinity through If being producttive is being with you
Then baby I don't want to waste another day
I'll shout aloud what I'm feeling Let my tongue be still no more
Now I know that it's the real thing
Just try and keep me quiet about it Oh...
'Cos we could stare until we both are blinded
We could fall 'til gravity gets tired We could lose our love just to re-find it
But I'm just happy here Happy staying beside you
"Without You"
The sky opens up over me and you
And you don't seem to mind that we're soaked through You kiss me in the rain, I forget what I'm moaning about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you
"I wouldn't be the same without you I wouldn't be the same without you
I laugh at my own jokes and what I deem to be clever wit
And you don't seem to mind that I'm so stupid You kiss me once again, I forget what I'm babbling about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you
I couldn't replicate your touch or love anyone again this much But I wouldn't be the same without you
I wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't be the same I wouldn't be the same without you
Without you Without you Without you
Reverie
I'm having trouble remembering where the lines cross your face
Your smile is fading from memory Won't you hurry back and fill that space again?
I'm waiting, watching the water, quietly willing the phone to ring
I suspect this healthy silence Will continue a few days yet, a few days yet
I miss you, I miss you I'm over now, I'm through
I miss you
I'm hanging here just reminiscing About all the things you said to me
Hoping you plan on returning to interrupt my reverie
You're sweet, sweeter than honey tea You're precious and worth more than gold to me
I know I acted selfishly Come on home
I'll beg and plead if you need me to I'm head over heels over feet for you
Gonna have you wed by the end of this tune Well, I hope...
I miss you, I miss you Don't say we're done
We ain't through
Indelible
Walk along here,feel you move somewhere in front of me I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt I can't see
How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me? Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why i believe
That the first time I see yuor face Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in your gaze As you work and indelible change in me
All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in you
How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me? Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe
An indelible change in me An indelible change in me
"Better"
Take my shoulder back now Your head's too heavy for me
Please don't come around here no more 'Cos I asked you to stop
And you wouldn't I would give anything to make you better I would give anything to point you to free I would give anything to help you realise
I loved you 'til it killed me
So my logic wouldn't hurt you I know you might blame me anyway
Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
You're not helping yourself to me
I've tried all the things they told me Trying to close up the wounds left open by you
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting.....I am
You said you wouldn't do it agin You said you wouldn't do it again
You're not helping yourself
You're not helping yourself by hurting me
Anything just to try and help you see You ain't helping yourself by hurting me Time to let you go, time for you to see You ain't helping yourself by hurting me
Scarlet
Middle of nowhere Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name It's easier
Shut your eyes tightly Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly Gently expose what's underneath
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day Even it's real
You can't stay... So here you go
You're gone for good There you go
You're gone for good
Your mind is swollen From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you This very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty Is precious and rare and fleeting
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in your day Even it's real You can't stay
"Mystery"
I wanna get your words stuck in my head
I wanna touch your soul with mine I want to always be, be by your lead
Always I wanna know that you hung the stars in the sky So on lonely nights I would know your presence
I wanna feel your love under my skin, down through my bones Your love endures forever Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better Your love endures
I wanna feel the wind and know that you're near me And see in the seasons your mystery
I wanna feel your love flow through my veins Pound through my heart Your love endures forever Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better I want to know how this could be Yet your love remains a mystery
That's woven all the way That's woven all the way
That's woven all the way through me Your love endures forever Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better Your love endures
"The Thief"
Your eyes are full
Full of the future of us The air changes as you look across
At me in that wondering way
It is as if I knew you before we spoke
Do our hearts know something we don't? Conspiring, converging without giving us any say
You, sing me to sleep Talk down my walls
Look through my windows as I wait You could be the thief
I give the key to
You're ruining me With secrets and gestures and looks
With sonnets from second-hand books Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play
It fits in your hand like water in rain It unlocks our two different selves
And shows we are the same Rather than wait `til I put me out for the taking
You're breaking You're breaking
You're breaking into my heart And I'm letting you
"Deciphering Me"
Friend, it's getting late We should be going
We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours while I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me for i am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? We belong.
Your telescope eyes see everything clearly My vision is blurred but i know what i heard echoing all around
while I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me not such a mystery, not such a faint in a far away sound
It's love, it's love that holds us We will be alright
It's truth, it's truth that shows us If we'll walk in it's (his) light
Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? (we belong)
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining goes to show we belong?
We belong.
"Love, Where Is Your Fire?"
Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits, but there's no
sign of a flame Imposters have been passing, offering good-feeling glow
but I'm holding out for waht you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone
some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do
'Cos I, I wana (know I'll) blaze with you So i'm holding my heart out to you
Holding my heart out
So I stand, handing out torches speaking words that are lamps to their feet
Til the tine when you come an I'm whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete
Some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do
Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind
That I'll offer you me and you'll politely decline (no thank you) So i hasten to mute it, I'll shout and rebuke it - "away!"
"C.S. Lewis Song"
If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here If the felsh that I fight is at best only light and momentary, then ofcourse I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm
compared
Speak to me in the light of the dawn Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
Am I lost or just found? On the straight or on the roundabout of
the wrong way? is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come
alive? Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
For we, we are not long here Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me Hope, He's coming
"Faithful"
There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what i long for
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray
And i want you more than i want to live another day And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful
All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge, knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me
Show me how I should live this Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me You are all I want You are all I want
