Would be nice in major so I set the scene
Would be quite the favour for someone I’ll be
Work to make the paper for something I’ll see
Never let a faker say something obscene
I’ve never been forsaken by the ones that love me
I’ve always been forgiven put no one above me
Sometimes when I’m at fault you know the pushy shove me
Down into a place where the feelings rub me the wrong way
You say I can’t change
For two days now you’ve been strange
There are some things we can’t unsay
But I’m looking forward to our day
Do you know I made you something you can love deep
Did you know I’ve hit the bottom and it haunts me
Better every day cause everything is lovely
You know in many ways you have really touched me
The time we made a home and we closed the blinds
You knew my body’s yours and your body’s mine
Never in my life have I seen a day
I was on a path that led me down the wrong way
You say I can’t change
For two days now you’ve been strange
There are some things we can’t unsay
But I’m looking forward like a runway
The used days all are mundane
And I’m losing all of my brain
Either lucid or just deranged
But I’m looking forward to our day
Do you know I’m here for you and always will be?
Did you know we go through things? That’s how it should be
It’s better to heal the heart than to be so lonely
And whenever we feel apart you can always trust me
And if ever you’re troubled, darling, you can always call me
And all the times we’ve struggled now they’re not so daunting
And now we’re on track, we’re never led astray
‘Cause I was on a path that led me down the wrong way
You say I can’t change
For two days now you’ve been strange
There are some things we can’t unsay
But I’m looking forward like a runway
The used days all are mundane
And I’m losing all of my brain
Either lucid or just deranged
I’m looking forward to our day

My Past

You look behind me to say what’s that
I have to turn around to say, "oh that"
I don’t feel my past and I never react
It doesn’t define me and that’s a fact
You look around you’re amazed, offtrack
When did the lights go out? You’re going to snap
I will let you in, and then we will begin
Two stars are going to light the path
And in I’m reeling
Your presence is a gift
Darkness is starting to lift
And in my feelings
I’m here to feel the bliss
That’s what I’m starting to miss
You ever notice people work to the bone?
I feel incapable of building a home
You’re the mason’s line, I’m a storey pole
We’ll need a roof and then we’re raring to go
Some people wade through the world alone
Pick up the sorrowful and pick up the phone
Tired all the time, if you’re not feeling whole
I’m here we’re ready to go
And in I’m reeling
Your presence is a gift
Darkness is starting to lift
And in my feelings
I’m here to feel the bliss
That’s what I’m starting to miss
I’ve fallen in love before
But I called to bring you home
I want you to know
I’m all for your growth
And in me you invest, that’s what feels the best
Come with me and rest, you know that
In I’m reeling
Your presence is a gift
Darkness is starting to lift
And in my feelings
I’m here to feel the bliss
That’s what I’m starting to miss

[Intro: Artist Unknown]
I remember
When I first asked your name
And the music was playing
And it was like
Just right
And you said, “My name rhymes with many things”
And I said can you stay for a while?
Not quite moving, not quite still?
Just catching a feel?
Can this moment be everlast?
Can it not be the future, can it not be the past?
[Chorus 1: Jeff Lauber, Artist Unknown & Leesa Mackey]
Turn it up
Like that
Turn it up, let’s dance all night and fall in love
Like that
Turn up the music
Like that
Turn up the music
Like that
[Verse 1: FIDÈS]
Mon nom n’est pas pour toi, c’est Dieu qui m’a crée
J’suis concentrée a traverser sept cieux immaculés
Toi dit moi ce que tu fais pour blanchir ton coeur
J’suis déjà allée et venue, j’ai déjà fait mes heures
Deux, trois fleurs, elle est partie, ah
Deux mille pleures et ça suffira
Tes mots sont trop, ne me parle pas
Juste les yeux que je veux, ne les cache pas
[Verse 2: Mello G]
Hello señorita, I’m from Jamaica
I’m the señor, the one that you a-look for
First thing me do when me meet her mother
Mamma, mamma, I love your daughter
No, just a ring
All I need is just a ring
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco
That amount of time that me take to reach her
[Outro: Juan Rios & Andrea Noli]
Ella: Un tiempo de calma precede a la tormenta.
El: Va a llover esta tarde.
Ella: Me descubro en tus ojos espejo doble en el que me reflejo.
El: Me multiplico en tu mirada estallo en fragmentos de luz
Ella: un loco anda suelto.
El: Quiero atravesar las fronteras de tu cuerpo. Los muros de mi alma derribar para darte un campo nuevo.
Ella: Construir con tu piel y mi piel un castillo de deseos y medio baños, garage para tres coches.
El: Abrir la puerta de tu mente a fuerza de besos.
Ella:Habitar el pent house de tu pensamiento.
El: Fundirme en ti.
Ella: Confundirnos el uno con el otro.
El: Perderme en tu bosque,
Los dos: Guardarme.
El: Cómo se guarda el sol cuando cae la noche.

Falls & Follies

My falls and follies
I fall when you call me
There’s no denying
Our love is shining
I’m here if you need help
In sickness and in health
I’ve learnt from history
The future is not a mystery
Missing me I’m missing you
Always right to speak the truth
Always got me weak for you
Been thinking now a week or two
Interesting I’ll pursue
Been known to chase you know I do
It’s me who’s longing, I’m the fool
You gave me a much needed tool
My falls and follies
I fall when you call me
There’s no denying
Our love is shining
I’m here if you need help
In sickness and in health
I’ve learnt from history
The future is not a mystery
It’s just illusion
Your thoughts abusing
The life we’re choosing
There’s room for two and we’ll make do
I hope we’re done with weakness
Cause the uprise I need it
I’m changing like seasons
It’s coming soon
My falls and follies
I fall when you call me
There’s no denying
Our love is shining
I’m here if you need help
In sickness and in health
I’ve learnt from history
The future is not a mystery
Listen to me
Can’t you see
A dying breed
Of souls that need
To find their pair
A soul to share
The world with
I’ve heard it, I’ve learnt it
I’m sure it is worth it

Away
03:24

Puddles fading
A new day is taking me away
Tunnel my being
Open it and fly me away
Suddenly changing
A new way of seeing, I like it this way
All of my feelings
Soaring and pouring out today
A change has come
I lay down calm
The day was long
We had our fun
The colours are fading
And now I’m starting all over again
My worries are waiting
I feel alright before the day’s end
Something’s for certain
Sunlit and perfect
I pull back the curtain
Revealing such a lovely day
Lull me and claim me and hang me out to dry
Hold me, console me and then I’ll feel fine
Pull me and lay me down, it’s alright
I’m sure by tomorrow we'll see the light

Lighthouse

Heard of a lighthouse
Searching far and wide
Let’s leave our worries behind
Pay them no mind
Span the ocean
Waiting for peace of mind
But when I see your light
I know I’ve arrived
Searching deep, frightened of the bottom
As I look ahead, reflecting up I see the problem
It’s time to decide all while sailing the tide
But parting clouds reveal a flaw
They want to show me what you saw
And how I left you there in awe
There’s a lighthouse
I’m searching far and wide
Let’s leave our worries behind
Pay them no mind
Span the ocean
Waiting for peace of mind
But when I see your light
I know I’ve arrived
In life, some people grow apart
In truth, it’s something I have fought
In death, we look to see the will
In lies, we lose the trust we built
For me and you
Part of me knows how to feel
I want to show the side that’s real
I want to know just how to heal
And if I hide just for a while
Trust me I’m sailing to your side
Showing the things I used to hide
There’s a lighthouse
Was searching far and wide
I leave my worries behind
Pay them no mind
Spanned the ocean
Waiting for peace of mind
And then I see your light
I know I’ve arrived

Looking down
I like it when you turn me around
On the right path now
Never going back down
Breaking through
It’s all thanks to me and you
And I got to thank my faith too
I know who I pray to
‘Cause I feel alright
Every time I see the night
Feel you might be turning on a light
Out of sight, out of sight
No more demons, now we’re righteous
Heathens out of sight
Let’s get a pen and paper
Get up and go to write this
Spirit it my
Spirit it my
Spirit it my dreams
I don’t wanna wake you
Though I know I have to
Spirit in my dreams
All around me
Never secondhand me
All around you too
I know you feel that swoon
Here to hear that truth
Do you see the living proof
Never gone no time soon
Feeling fills the room
When I dream this deep
Things just come to me
And whatever your creed
I hear you when you listen to me
Do you sleep (I don’t want to wake you)
While you dream (though I know I have to)
Seems like a fantasy (spirit in my)
It’s clear to me (dreams)
Spirit it my
Spirit it my
Spirit it my dreams
Do you sleep (spirit in my)
While you dream (spirit in my)
Seems like a fantasy (spirit in my)
It’s clear to me (dreams)
Do you sleep (I don’t want to wake you)
While you dream (though I know I have to)
Seems like a fantasy (spirit in my)
It’s clear to me (dreams)

In My Heart
02:46
|

|
No room for doubt
No time to shout
Trust the first feeling
That’s what it’s about
No space to bring you
No carriage to fit you
Just must be willing
To settle the issue
So do what you like
And like what you do
There’s only one me
And there’s only one you
I made you a gift
You know I gave you a tune
I hope it can hit you
In the heart real soon
When the time comes
I’m sorry my love
I live in the moment
Getting above
Better apart
Knew it from the start
But this is for the time
Spent in my heart
There’s no way I’ll miss you
Even if you taunt
No way I’d list you
As a confidante
I cannot fix you
Even if I want
I just want to kiss you
Cause my dreams you haunt
When the time comes
I’m sorry my love
I live in the moment
Getting above
Better apart
Knew it from the start
But this is for the time
Spent in my heart
Remember the time you were always on my mind
Now I decide how i wanna live my life
Better not pry cause you’ll see through my lines
This is for the part you played in my life
And when the time comes
I’m sorry my love
I live in the moment
Getting above
Better apart
we knew that from the start
But this is for the time
Spent in my heart

The End
03:41
|

|
Lo, you’ve gone like smoke
Something in me broke
Though I know your hold
Something in me folds
Oh, and again
As much as we pretend
We’ll never see the end
Though she knows not to gloat
Murder is what she wrote
Go way slow I’m burdened
And I wanted you to know
Oh, I depend
As much as we pretend
We’ll never see the end

History

I remember that time
My car broke down
My first car
It was gold
And I remember that time
We watched the sun rise
It was gold
Now I get it, I won’t forget it
One time, you didn’t show up
Another, you showed me up
Sure enough
Now I get it, I won’t forget it
You said one time
Life is easy
Then it’s hard sometimes
You said I’ll find
When the time is ripe
Things flow like a rhyme
And that was gold
Now I get it, I won’t forget it
On every detail, it came down shining
It stopped the hail, it stopped my whining
I think I’ve got it: start, middle, end
I’ll get behind it, I will defend
I’ve got a hand to lend
I remember I felt like crying
Knots in my stomach, they weren’t untying
Bitter times can have sweet ends
Feels so right to make amends
Strength in numbers, now we’re two
You look around, I look at you
Your eyes so bright, they look in mine
From winter through to summertime
We made a home, a wish come true
We tell us stories, quite a few
They give us hope, a lasting truth
They give us everlasting youth
But now’s the time to face the sound
Fixed in place it spins around
I never made it into town
Remember when my car broke down?
Now I get it, I won’t forget it
