VERSE Slide over here next to me You know you make me You know you make me oh so happy, yes you do And after a long hard day You know how to make it all just melt away CHORUS Could you be, could you be more beautiful? Could you be, could you be more beautiful? You know that you are so beautiful to me VERSE Underneath a bed of stars I am admiring the perfect way that you are With a concert of crickets and a dance of the fireflies You and I embrace beneath moonlit skies CHORUS Could you be, could you be more beautiful? Could you be, could you be more beautiful? You know that you are so beautiful to me BRIDGE With the slightest touch of your hand Something deep inside tells me you are my man CHORUS Could you be, could you be more beautiful? (4x) You know that you are so beautiful Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know That you are so beautiful to me
VERSE I I know that this is for the best Life ebbs and it flows, it wakes and it rests Even though you took life’s hardest test You always said that you were blessed Winter’s snow takes the autumn’s colors away I must admit my world’s been cold and gray What do I do with this empty space? Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place VERSE II In the night I cry your name out loud Even though you float way above the clouds I can hear you calling down For me to move, move on now But, letting go doesn’t mean that my heart didn’t break Letting go doesn’t mean that my hands still don’t shake Oh how I miss your warm embrace Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place BRIDGE Walk towards the light Walk towards the light It’ll be alright VERSE III A photograph of your smiling face Inspires me to live full each day I picture you so full of grace Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place Give me the strength Give me the strength to let your soul move on to a better place
INTRO On Your Marks, Set, go! VERSE You’re scary good And you do it like I want it Some say you’re off the hook Flying faster than a super sonic Under your hood There’s a 1,000 horse power rocket Once you start there’s just no way to stop it CHORUS You like the chase so I understand And you’re going to win ‘cause that’s in your plan Well, here is your bait I know you can’t wait So rev up your engine boy Catch me if you can, Catch me if you can Ca, ca, ca, ca, catch me VERSE You’re a maverick You like untamed trailblazing You’re super slick With your sneaky devil hell-raising You know all the tricks Wheels burning up the pavement Better watch out ‘cause you’re not playing CHORUS You like the chase so I understand And you’re going to win ‘cause that’s in your plan Well, here is your bait I know you can’t wait So rev up your engine boy Catch me if you can, Catch me if you can Ca, ca, ca, ca, catch me BRIDGE You’re a hot rod With a hot bod Baby put me in cruise ‘Cause I’m losing control CHORUS You like the chase so I understand And you’re going to win ‘cause that’s in your plan Well, here is your bait I know you can’t wait So rev up your engine boy Catch me if you can, Catch me if you can Ca, ca, ca, ca, catch me
VERSE I The guilt stricken, the ass-kicking members of society You think you’re clever, well, don’t you never try and lie to me You’re doing time for your crimes rightfully Don’t pull me in to your skin, suffocating me Pre-CHORUS It fills up the room Your nasty fumes Your anger lives here And I can’t breathe CHORUS I’m Choking Can’t you see I’m broken from your hold on me Could you set me free? What’s up with your air? It’s bad karma you carry everywhere Let me out of this nightmare VERSE II Like being me, good energy flowing freely And you’re crazy in the head, that’s what I said You’d chew me up and spit me out If you had more clout Instead you hang around and beat me down Well I’m on the ground, Yeah I’m on the ground Pre-CHORUS Let go of your tension A brand new resurrection ‘Cause your anger lives here And I can’t breathe CHORUS I’m Choking Can’t you see I’m broken from your hold on me Could you set me free? What’s up with your air? It’s bad karma you carry everywhere Let me out of this nightmare
VERSE I climb across the sheets to be with you To warm my feet To heal my wounds I always find a solid place to rest Upon your chest Oh I must be blessed CHORUS I love you, I need you I want you every minute I opened the door to my world I want you in it I can’t get close enough VERSE Now here we are lying face to face Like in outer space Two bodies ablaze CHORUS I love you, I need you I want you every minute I opened the door to my world I want you in it I can’t get close enough BRIDGE You reach deep down into my soul Consuming me whole And you lay me down and tell me to let go And I let go CHORUS I love you, I need you I want you every minute I opened the door to my world I want you in it I can’t get close enough
VERSE You are my everything I do love you When you flooded my mind with your gleam I knew, I knew When you said hello you had a certain glow And you shook up my soul You said “Hey you must slow down And listen to the quiet sounds Why don’t you come buzz around?” CHORUS Like a firefly in the night You’re my searchlight for my life Like a firefly in the night You’re my searchlight for my life VERSE You are my everything I do love you When you flooded my mind with your gleam I knew, I knew You say, “You have something inside That you’re trying to hide Just look at the way that you shine” And I say, “I think I see it now of just how I’m glowing like the sunlight” Repeat CHORUS Bridge This is about thanking you For making me glow And being my guiding light When I’m feeling low You came into my life All the words you said were right Just like a firefly Our love burns so bright It burns so bright Repeat 4x Flutter to me, flutter to me My bright-eyed firefly Repeat CHORUS
VERSE I The moon’s full in the sky tonight The music playing feels just right There’s a man that walks my way Could this be my lucky day? I think so, yes I really think so VERSE II I throw my curves to one side My heart’s racing to his stride But he turns the other way I guess it’s not my lucky day I don’t think so, no I don’t really think so CHORUS There’s a man that walks my way Maybe he’s my ticket to wash away Drunk as hell, all I see is your face Only a man could take the place Of a the emptiness occupying this space That’s where I’m headed with this crazy craze I’m doing my best to erase Your pretty face, trying my best to erase This place, so get me out of this place Get me out of this place VERSE III All I’m trying to do is have a good time But I’m trapped in the walls my mind I waste my brain and drift away A lush in tears another day I miss you and I’d really like to kiss you I miss you and I really need to kiss you Repeat CHORUS
VERSE The weekend comes I wonder How do I feed this hunger This burning deep inside me Is Miss Goodie two shoes all she’s cracked up to be? Pre-CHORUS Can’t I just blame you for everything? Can’t I just tell you, you make me go insane? You make me go insane CHORUS I know I should stay in But I want to go out and party Whenever you’re around Gotta keep myself from being naughty ‘Cause I’m a good girl Yeah, I’m a good girl I’m a good girl But I’m trapped in a bad girl’s Trapped in a bad girl’s body VERSE Prim and proper On my left an angel in white Mischievous, delicious A devil’s food cake on my right Pre-CHORUS I’m so torn and it’s all your fault Yes, I’m blaming you I want it all My cake and eat it too You’re just too damn cute Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE I want to kiss you with reckless abandon Not care what happens Out the window I’m throwing caution I’ll let fate decide On whose side I’m taking Repeat CHORUS
VERSE You were born with the stars in your eyes With these dreams, bigger than life When a cloud hung over your head You chose to see the silver lining instead You’ve got your maps, a bit of cash And you’re packing up your car I’ve got no doubt at all that you’re going to go far You know that I love you If I’m acting selfish I can’t help it CHORUS I’ve been dreading this moment Now that it’s close I really want you to stay I don’t want you to go So don’t ask me to speak And I’ll tell you no lies Just know that I’m weak And I hate saying goodbye VERSE I’m taking some photographs of you with my mind Of your smile, of that laugh Of some great times I know this isn’t about me That it’s really about you But these emotions of mine They don’t seem to have a clue You know that I love you If I’m acting selfish I can’t help it CHORUS BRIDGE I will remember you like this Now it’s time for one last hug And one last kiss CHORUS
VERSE You can’t fill a void with a vacancy You can’t feed desire with complacency Design me drugs to keep me numb Isolate me from everyone When the bow breaks I come undone CHORUS Where are we going when we can’t remember where we’ve been? Time unwinds, so unkind for those grasping, endlessly grasping VERSE A million seeds fall by the wayside Or choked by thorn and never see the sunlight The truth has become hard to seek What isn’t sown cannot be reaped And it’s easier to go back to sleep CHORUS Where are we going when we can’t remember where we’ve been? Time unwinds, so unkind For those grasping, endlessly grasping Bridge We have been misguided We’re divided Breakdown You can’t fill a void with a vacancy You can’t feed desire with complacency CHORUS Where are we going When we can’t remember where we’ve been? Time unwinds so unkind For those grasping, endlessly We’re just grasping
VERSE Little baby up in heaven says to God “Do I really have to go?” God replies “Yes it’s your time to leave But don’t you worry you won’t be there alone You see there’s someone who’s been waiting for you Quietly hoping and praying For your sweet and safe arrival Down on earth CHORUS Everyone is born with a guardian angel And on her wings she’ll let you soar Higher than you thought was possible She’ll love you and protect you like no other And your guardian angel has a name You can call her mother VERSE As you grow and make your way on through the world She’ll be a softer light to guide you on your way Instilling bits of wisdom like arrows in your quiver To help with all the challenges that you’ll have to face Rest assured that no matter where you are You’ll be surrounded by her love A gentle support to help you keep your faith You’re always in her heart and who she’s thinking of Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE The sacrifices that she will make To put you first when everything’s at stake How all that she’s devoted Until now you never noticed She was showing you How to be a guardian angel too Repeat CHORUS
VERSE When you look at me with those angel eyes You turn me in to a gooey inside Just like a chocolate fondue You make me want to snuggle, hug all night And I know you know the feeling is right So let’s discover something new CHORUS Lazy, I just want to be lazy with you baby And maybe we could do a whole lot of nothing all day Do you want to do nothing with me too? Because you know that nothing Could become something for me and you VERSE Our chores are beckoning but we ignore Don’t they know we need some time to explore And the roses smell oh so sweet My hair’s a curly mess, my face undone But I don’t care ‘cause being lazy is fun Right here I feel complete Repeat CHORUS Bridge Ooh, Lazy Oh, I wanna be lazy CHORUS Lazy, I just want to be lazy with you baby And maybe we could do a whole lot of nothing all day Do you want to do nothing with me too? Because you know that nothing Could become something for me and you I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I like you
VERSE Hey, Hey, Hey Don’t throw your life away Carbon copies of yesterday Only make for a safe today If you really want to live You’ve got to take a risk Graduate from the crib CHORUS Take that jump, take that leap Take that fire, let it steep into A nice thick brew Drink it down, let it be Hopefully you will see it’s fine To color outside the lines VERSE Hey, Hey, Hey I know it’s your comfort zone To be left alone But I’m calling please pick up the phone Has fear, has fear got you paralyzed? Don’t over-analyze Everything’s not to be your demise CHORUS BRIDGE It just so happens We’re all slaves to our patterns It’s the great sedation You’ve got to try and break away from Hey, Hey, Hey CHORUS
VERSE I It’s been one of those days When I’m lost in a maze And I’m coming apart at the seams And I’m so freaking tired But on caffeine I’m wired And worry will keep me from sleep PRECHORUS I’m too tired to even cry So instead I’ll sing this punch drunk lullaby VERSE II It seems that there’s drama Around every corner Well, I’ve got enough of my own But these thoughts they keep haunting me What do you want I plead? Why won’t you leave me alone? PRECHORUS I’m too tired to reason why So instead I’ll sing this punch drunk lullaby CHORUS Oh Lovely, you’re getting sleepy (4x) VERSE III When I was a little girl I thought that the world was where Princes rescued the dame But I figured out all the lies And learned how to compromise But I think that that is so how it is PRECHORUS But I’m too insane to give up this fight But not insane enough to claim I’ve lost my mind Perhaps it’s best I stick to singing lullabies CHORUS Oh Lovely, you’re getting sleepy (5x)
VERSE Like a dagger to my heart And you don’t even know how to play it smart I don’t know you But you’re on some power trip about who you are Unintelligible syllables you’re giving me Like you’re breaking through the threshold of insanity You’re ripping and tearing and swearing Trying to rape my integrity CHORUS I’m digging, dogging, trying to Break away, but these chains keep Bringing me down, dragging me down And wearing me out And it’s dark and cold in here Like the dungeon of some old jail And you’re killing me Killing me with your rusty nail Yeah you’re killing me With your Rusty Nail Oh, you will not suppress me And cut me up like fresh meat You will not suppress me You will not suppress me, yeah VERSE You think you can hold me down and push me back But you can’t I’m getting stronger everyday And you’d better learn that fact And now it’s time Make up your mind Are you willing to see eye to eye? The world is changing, rearranging Now it’s do or die Repeat CHORUS Breakdown CHORUS You’re killing me (Repeat 5x) You will not (2x) No, No, No, No, No, You will not
VERSE She’s been everywhere in Never Never Land She explores the landscape with a brush in her hand ‘Cause that’s the way she finds it From a deep black iris that she brought to life To a ladder ascending way up to the sky Up to heaven if you think you can climb it CHORUS Yeah, Yeah she’s living the fantasy down in Santa Fe Yeah, Yeah she’s living the fantasy down in Santa Fe VERSE A dairy girl to the Big Apple city Where she met Alfred Stieglitz, they made love so pretty But she longed for stark and infinite spaces So she took to the badlands in New Mexico And these visions so striking She let them all flow And this passion, no, you couldn’t contain it Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE Oh, oh Georgia you left your legacy You knew how to rescue a canvas From its desolate blankness indeed Oh, oh Georgia, You helped solve a bit of life’s mystery Oh, oh Georgia, Oh, oh Georgia VERSE On a weathered carpenter’s bench Under Lawrence’s tree She looked up at the stars And made a wish to be free CHORUS The fantasy down in Santa Fe Yeah, Yeah she’s living The fantasy down in Santa Fe Oh, oh Georgia Oh, oh Georgia Down in Santa Fe
VERSE Pulled away by the flood I got caught in the mud A girl of thirteen years never cried so many tears Was it some natural selection That headed my fate in this direction? Under the shower rain trying to wash away the pain Pre-CHORUS And the razor blade gets things starting to flow Do I hold on or do I let go? CHORUS That was the year my fairy tales died I lost my innocence and the angels cried I never thought that I would survive But here I am today and I’m still alive Yeah, here I am today and I’m still alive VERSE A lump grows in my throat Help me I need a lifeboat I’m drifting far away from the light of day Too young to see it’s not my fault What was thrust upon me like a catapult The demons of this sea slowly envelop me Pre-CHORUS I get myself into a whole mess of trouble Cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel Repeat CHORUS Bridge The flower slowly dies and so I close my eyes The red river flows to where I do not know The owl calls my name but something stops the game There it is the light and so I start my fight CHORUS That was the year I contemplated suicide What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger And I’m still alive That’s right, that’s right I’m still alive
VERSE You know I never liked marmalade until I met you But I had to give it a try when you left a jar in my fridge And I never liked messes before I met you But with your things all over my place I have to admit that I don’t really mind this CHORUS You can throw your clothes all over my floor Because I love the scent of you I’ll even give you a key to my front door So you can come and go as you choose I just want you here with me all the time So if you want to You can hang your toothbrush next to mine VERSE You know I had it all figured out until I met you But you turned my world upside down and I can’t see right side up And I was doing just fine until I met you But now I realize I don’t want fine I want something that’s going to blow my mind Repeat CHORUS Bridge We could hold each other Until the morning light Is dancing on your skin And me, I’m in heaven Repeat CHORUS
VERSE It’s not roses, playing toesy’s It’s not a pocket full of posies It’s not insight where everything goes right It’s not basking in the limelight It’s not kisses, oh so delicious From a fairytale fictitious Run in to great big arms Where it’s safe and warm Protecting you from all the harm Pre-CHORUS While all these things are well and good They never pushed the engine that could CHORUS Together we’ll walk through the fire Together we’ll come out the other side Through deep struggle and friction We’ll find a real connection That’s true intimacy VERSE There’s no blindfold Nothing to withhold It’s a much more difficult road There’s comfort in silence Or the lion’s den There’s no place in here for pretense Pre-CHORUS If you’re willing to just let go I promise I’ll be gentle Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE Together we will soar And leave you wanting more Repeat CHORUS
VERSE My feet run through suburbia Trying to rid me of absurd ideas Quiet, quiet, quiet I try to find But maybe it’s the calm before the storm When all the desperate housewives go to war CHORUS Can you feel me? ‘Cause I’m walking blindly into the storm Can you feel me? ‘Cause I’m walking blindly into the storm Into the storm, Into the storm VERSE Psychosomatic tendencies A symptom we’re all ill at ease And there’s a strange catharsis in cleaning the garage And the boys are taught to be well-oiled machines But there’s a restless ticking time bomb underneath Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE Consume it up to fill the void We’re skeptical ‘til paranoid But Golden Handcuffs keep us in This quiet desperation A sundial in the moonlight We’re all off course with blinded sight Anger stirs with no outlet Condemned to repeat all the steps We hover with no safety net The bleeding comes, the bleeding lets Repeat CHORUS
VERSE Been wrestling these demons tonight They’ve got a way of taking every bit of life out of me And every time I turn out the lights I try to rest my eyes But I’m faced with all that I have failed to see Pre-CHORUS Do you think could you wait for me? I know I’m a little late CHORUS You know the hardest part Is getting past the starting line But I wanna take this life and make it mine So don’t give up Give me one more chance One more chance To show you what I’m made of VERSE I keep thinking about you standing there Covered in the moonlight Like a wave my words crashed into you All the tears welled up in your eyes Pre-CHORUS I know I let you down But I was so scared I was going to drown CHORUS BRIDGE A man is born with so much strength But seldom taught how to handle something so delicate CHORUS
