I've got some ways of forgetting now What you're finding out, what you're finding out I've got some ways of believing now What you're leaving out, what you're leaving out So take a reach down inside your soul What you gonna find, what you gonna find And it's so deep down inside your soul What you leave behind, what you leave behind I can hear it calling Can't you tell? I'm on the edge of something So I just keep running every time I lose my head I'm on the edge of something So I just keep falling every time I lose my head Are there some secrets embedded down In the frozen ground, in the frozen ground Under a cold moon and a fractured sky There's a universe there behind those eyes You're gonna make good on promises That you know you could, that you know you could Cause no one here worships suddenness Though you wish they would, though you wish they would I can hear it calling Can't you tell? I'm on the edge of something So I just keep running every time I lose my head I'm on the edge of something So I just keep falling every time I lose my head I don't need a vision I'm just waiting on collisions of the brain and the heart I'm patient for decisions and some stormy revelations I can claim from the start I'm kicking up a storm In the valley I was born I can hear the tower ring Out here on the edge of something I'm on the edge of something So I just keep running every time I lose my head I'm on the edge of something So I just keep falling every time I lose my head

These are the days that I've been missing Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine These are the days that bring new meaning I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine Sometimes when the nights are closing early I remember you and I start to smile Even though now you don't want to know me I get on by, and I go the extra mile These are the times of love and meaning Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light These are the days of endless dreaming Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight These are the days These are the days These are the days I've thought you said that love would last forever Leave and that the tears would end for good I told you that we get through any weather Maybe that didn't work out But we did the best we could These are the days that I've been missing Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine These are the days that bring new meaning I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

[1st Verse] She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life [2nd Verse] It's Out Of My Hands It's Out Of My Hands To Think For Two Years She Was Here And I Took Her For Granted I Was So Cavalier Now The Way That It Stands She's Out Of My Hands [Bridge] So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression But I Learned Too Late [3rd Verse] She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life

I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you Some get their kicks from cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrifically too That I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you Some get their kicks from cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrifically too That I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me that you obviously do not adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick She gives me the boot I get a kick out of you

This Time 04:29
[Verse 1] Ran into you yesterday Memories rushed through my brain it started to hit me now you're not with me I realized I made a mistake I thought I needed some space But I just let love go to waste It's so crystal clear now that I need your here now I gotta get you back today [Chorus] This time I want it all This time I want it all Showing you all the cards giving you all my heart This time I'll take the chance This time I'll be your man I can be all you need This time it's all of me. [Verse 2] I hit the bar every night Looking to score a good time It's not like I planned it I'm left empty handed 'Cause I'm still alone in my mind Now what will it take to feel right Can I come see you tonight? Is there someone new now? What can I do now? 'Cause I need you back by my side. [Chorus] This time I want it all This time I want it all Showing you all the cards giving you all my heart This time I'll take the chance This time I'll be your man I can be all you need This time it's all of me. [Bridge] Last time I wasn't sure This time I will give you more I'm more mature I'll show you Last time I didn't know I messed up and let you go I need you don't say no. Lying alone in this room All that is missing is you pick up the phone Won't you come home? This time I want it all This time I want it all Showing you all the cards giving you all my heart This time I'll take the chance This time I'll be your man I can be all you need This time it's all of me.

All at Sea 04:09
I'm all at sea Where no-one can bother me Forgot my roots If only for a day Just me and my thoughts sailing far away Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul Please just leave me right here on my own Later on you could spend some time with me If you want to All at sea I'm all at sea Where no one can bother me I sleep by myself I drink on my own Don't speak to nobody I gave away my phone Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul Please just leave me right here on my own Later on you could spend some time with me If you want to All at sea Now I need you more than ever, I need you more than ever, now You don't need it every day But sometimes don't you just crave To disappear within your mind You never know what you might find So come and spend some time with me We will spend it all at sea Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul Please just leave me right here on my own Later on you could spend some time with me If you want to All at sea

After years of expensive education A car full of books and anticipation I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought Maybe I'll go traveling for a year Finding myself, or start a career Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame We all seem so different but we're just the same Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack Who knows the answers, who do you trust I can't even separate love from lust Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans Working nine to five, answering phones But don't make me live for Friday nights Drinking eight pints and getting in fights Maybe I'll just fall in love That could solve it all Philosophers say that that's enough There surely must be more Love ain't the answer, nor is work The truth eludes me so much it hurts But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

All of Me 04:36
[Verse 1:] What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and you kicking me out You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down What's going on in that beautiful mind I'm on your magical mystery ride And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright [Pre-Chorus:] My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind [Chorus:] 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh [Verse 2:] How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying you're beautiful too The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood You're my downfall, you're my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you [Pre-Chorus:] My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind [Chorus:] 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh [Bridge:] Give me all of you Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts Risking it all, though it's hard [Chorus:] 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh

Next year Things are gonna change Gonna drink less beer And start all over again Gonna read more books Gonna keep up with the news Gonna learn how to cook And spend less money on shoes Gonna pay my bills on time File my mail away, everyday Only drink the finest wine And call my gran every Sunday Well resolutions Well baby they come and go Will I do any of these things? The answer's probably no But if there's one thing, I must do Despite my greatest fears I'm gonna say to you How I've felt all of these years Next year Next year I'm gonna tell you how I feel you I'm gonna tell you how I feel you Well, resolutions Baby they come and go Will I do any of these things? The answer's probably no But if there's one thing, I must do Despite my greatest fears I'm gonna say to you How I've felt all of these years Next year Next year Next year

High and Dry 03:59
Two jumps in a week I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy? Flying on your motorcycle Watching all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition You'd kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another mirror You're turning into something you are not Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Drying up in conversation You will be the one who cannot talk All your insides fall to pieces You just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you When you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you You will be the one screaming out Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry It's the best thing that you have ever had It's the best thing that you have ever had Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Clarity 06:14
High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again 'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity? (Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey) If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity? Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you 'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity? (Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey) Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy? Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy? If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world

How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last? How do you keep the song from fading too fast? How do you lose yourself to someone and never lose your way? How do you not run out of new things to say? And since you know we're always changing How can it be the same? And tell me how year after year You're sure your heart won't fall apart Each time you hear his name? I know the way I feel for you is now or never The more I love, the more that I'm afraid That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows With any luck than I suppose The music never ends I know (how do you keep the music playing) the way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last) The more I love the more that I'm afraid (how do you keep the song from fading) That in your eyes I may not see forever (Keep the song from fading) Forever If we can be the best of lovers yet be the best of friends If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes With any luck than I suppose The music never ends

This is my heart's cry I want to know the one who saved me and gave me life This is my heart's cry to be so close to Him that all my life becomes A testimony of my Savior's grace and love This is my heart's cry This is my heart's cry Much more than just a great desire it's like a fire in me I hear my heart cry each time I think about the cross where Jesus died The cross should have been mine but His love broke through time And heard my heart's cry He heard my heart's cry Now every other hope and dream is lost inside of this one thing To know the one who died for me and live my life for Jesus Christ Oh this is my heart's cry So let my life become a testimony of my Savior's grace and love Oh, this is my heart's cry to stand before the Father one day And hear Him say well done this is my heart's cry

And the pain falls like a curtain On the things I once called certain And I have to say the words I fear the most I just don't know And the questions without answers Come and paralyze the dancer So I stand here on the stage afraid to move Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust [Chorus] God is God and I am not I can only see a part of the picture He's painting God is God and I am man So I'll never understand it all For only God is God And the sky begins to thunder And I'm filled with awe and wonder 'Till the only burning question that remains Is who am I? Can I form a single mountain Take the stars in hand and count them Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me? He is first and last before all that has been Beyond all that will pass [Chorus] Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things So let us worship before the throne Of the One who is worthy of worship alone [Chorus]

When you are a soldier I will be your shield I will go with you into the battlefield And when the arrows start to fly Take my hand and hold on tight I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels When you are a soldier When you're tired from running I will cheer you on Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone And when your strength is all but gone I'll carry you until you're strong And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels When you're a soldier I will be the one you can cry your songs to My eyes will share your tears And I'll be your friend if you win Or if you're defeated Whenever you need me I will be here When you're lost in darkness I will hold the light I will help you find your way through the night I'll remind you of the truth And keep the flame alive in you And I will be your shield 'Cause I know how it feels When you are a soldier

You can reach me by railway You can reach me by trail way You can reach me on an airplane You can reach me with your mind You can reach me by a caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Just Get here if you can You can reach me by sailboat Climb a tree and swing rope to rope Take a sled and slide down the slope Into these arms of mine You can jump on a speedy colt Cross the border in a blaze of hope I don't care how you get here Just Get here if you can There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over If I had my way, surely you would be closer I need you closer There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over If I had my way, surely you would be closer I need you closer You can windsurf into my life Take me up on a carpet ride You can make it in a big balloon But you better make it soon You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Get here if you can I don't care, I don't care I need you right here, right now I need you right here, right now, right by my side Yeah yeah, yeah yeah Yeah yeah, oh I don't care how you get here Get here if you can
