Give me a reason to fall in love Take my hand and let's dance Give me a reason to make me smile Cause I think I forgot how I wanna fall asleep with you tonight I wanna know that I am safe when you hold me tight I wanna feel how I wanna feel forever Girls need attention and boys need us So let's make everybody glad That they have each other and each other's arms Oh let's make everybody glad Oh, I want you Oh oh, I want you I wanna dream away with you tonight We can go anywhere you would like I wanna feel how I wanna feel forever Oh, I want you Oh oh, I want you

One day we'll get outta this shitty apartment One day is all it takes for things to turn around now All I know is I got you and you got me, babe And when that morning comes I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper We'll talk about our plans And I'll keep saying how lucky we are One day we'll get in the car and drive anywhere we wanna go And then we'll stay in a five star, mini-bar, luxury hotel room 'Cause all I know is I got you and you got me, babe And when that morning comes I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper We'll talk about our plans And I'll keep saying how lucky we are How lucky we are, oh oh oh How lucky we are, oh oh oh How lucky we are, oh oh oh How lucky we are, are, are... One day we'll turn on the tv and we won't see nothing 'bout war And when that morning comes I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper We'll talk about our plans And I'll keep saying how lucky we are How lucky, how lucky we are Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are Oh how lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are

I'm so tired of staring at the wall But I know I've got to put you down And I keep trying to make sense of it all But I can't keep going around and 'round And you know me well You know me better than this And I can't be sure if you're something I'd miss 'Cause I've heard it all before I've heard it all before I keep finding a little piece of me Every time we disagree And your words float like dandelions every other way I can't keep listening to what you say 'Cause I've heard it all before I've heard it all before And I'll take everything I can And I'll throw it out the door Yeah, I've heard it all before I've heard it all before And I'll take everything I can But I've heard it all before

When i first met you i knew you were the one Till you took me home and i met her She had your boxers on She was listening to your song And i thought right then that you had everything But i knew She was jealous from the start Yeah i knew She was jealous from the start Cause i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends Oh i know better than that i know better You play the victim and i'll be the bad guy I know better than that, i know better (Oh oh oh oh oh oh X 2) We started hanging around after 9 I couldve sworn that i was yours You looked at me and said Its a little too late for bed We went to hotel and Talked about everything But i knew She was jealous from the start Yeah i knew She was jealous from the start Cause i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends Oh i know better than that i know better You play the victim and i'll be the bad guy I know better than that, i know better (Oh) What she did to us was tragic Oh oh oh And i have to do what's right Oh oh oh What we had was really magic Oh oh oh But i have to get what's mine Oh What's mine I don't get what's mine And you get yours Cause i know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends Oh i know better than that i know better You play the victim and i'll be the bad guy I know better than that, i know better (Oh) I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends Oh i know better than that i know better You play the victim and i'll be the bad guy I know better than that, i know better (Oh) I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends Oh i know better than that i know better

Piano Song 02:48
Every little thing I do, I do for you. With every little thing I think a thought of you And I try so hard not to notice I try so hard not to care I try so hard not to know that you're not here But I'm counting down the hours And I'm counting up the days I try so hard not to show this side of me Jealous of the way they walk, the way they talk 'Cause I don't think they know just what they got I'm jealous of the way they look, the way they are When I just want to be the way we were And I try so hard not to notice I try so hard not to care I try so hard not to know that you're not here But I'm counting down the hours And I'm counting up the days I try so hard not to show this side of me Well I try so hard not to notice I try so hard not to care I try so hard not to know that you're not here But I'm counting down the hours And I'm counting up the days I try so hard not to show this side of me This side of me (x9)

Hiding 03:16
Running out of time I know I've got to find you Wonder if you're even there Taking me for granted I can barely stand it Wonder why I even care Oh No Baby you Can't you see I'm hiding in your arms Oh No Baby you Can't you see Don't want to find myself in harm Showing me the way I thought I heard you say that good things come to those who wait Watching every hour Watch you going sour Watching you control my fate Oh No Baby you Can't you see I'm hiding in your arms Oh No Baby you Can't you see Don't want to find myself in harm Doo doo doo... Running out of space I can't see your face I've forgotten how you used to be Saying that you love me That you're thinking of me Taking my identity Oh No Baby you Can't you see I'm hiding in your arms Oh No Baby you Can't you see Don't want to find myself in harm Oh No Baby you Can't you see I'm hiding in your arms Oh No Baby you Can't you see Don't want to find myself in harm Oh Oh Doo doo doo...

Sleep 04:45
When I woke up this morning You were so far away from me And I knew it was a warning Of an empty space in between Feeling free when I'm with you But knowing I'm not far away from home Now what am I supposed to do, When the answers all come out wrong And I need something to help me sleep When I know you're not good for me And I need something I can keep From the empty space in between From the empty space in between You treated me like a goddess When we were around everyone else How come you couldn't notice me When I was standing by myself And I need something to help me sleep When I know you're not good for me And I need something I can keep From the empty space in between From the empty space in between Something to help me, Something to help me, Something to help me to sleep Something to help me, Something to help me, Something to help me to sleep

This song is going to you The one who's so confused The one who feels so used You don't have to wait For all this silly fate For things you cannot make Hey, What are you going to say? What are you going to do When it's all said and done? I watched you from afar Wishing on every star Saving every penny And I used to feel the same Like everything's a game But all I kept doing was losing So hey, What are you going to say? What are you going to do When it's all said and done? Hey, What are you going to say? What are you going to do When it's all said When it's all said and done?

Walk By 03:46
You said everything's going to be alright Going to work out this time And I'm sure daddy's in bed Thinking 'bout my life and how to make it right now It's a long way home It's a long way home And it's too late for wanting The best thing for me now So walk by And you can't keep saying The same thing to me now So walk by Take back the promises you made And break free from all the things that you have left behind 'Cause it's a long way home It's a long way home And it's too late for wanting The best thing for me now So walk by And you can't keep saying The same thing to me now So walk by Everything has a reason for it Everyone has a story to tell Everything has a reason for it Everyone has a story, don't they? It's a long way home It's a long way home It's a long way home It's a long way home And it's too late for wanting The best thing for me now So walk by And you can't keep saying The same thing to me now So walk by It's a long way home It's a long way home It's a long way home It's a long way home

Under My Bed 03:48
Now my eyes are wide open Now that every thing's been stolen And I'm here to get it back from you See I ain't wasting no more time Gotta take back whats mine What else am i suppose to do Here I am With my heart on the floor And my love out the door You should be knocking But there it goes I got nothing to show for Except pictures i posed for But i keep them in a box under my bed I told you time and again That you'd never win I told you time and again But you keep doing the same old things When i thought you would change I told you time and again Here i am With my heart on the floor And my love out the door You should be knocking But there it goes I got nothing to show for Except pictures i posed for But i keep them in a box under my bed Oh, ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Oh, ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Here i am With my heart on the floor And my love out the door There it goes I got nothing to show for Except the pictures i posed for Oh, ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Ooooo, oh oh Here i am With my heart on the floor And my love out the door You should be knocking But there it goes I got nothing to show for Except pictures i posed for But i keep them in a box under my bed

Hawaii 04:32
I want to go to Hawaii Build my castle out of sand And I won't need anybody Telling me that I can't And you can't see That you're seeing me If you don't know Who I am You can't see That you need me And neither one of us, can be found And neither one of us, can be found I want to soak up the water I dream about you every night And in my mind, date, and order Take it away in just one flight And you can't see That you're seeing me If you don't know Who I am You can't see That you need me And neither one of us, can be found And neither one of us, can be found And neither one of us, can be found Da dum da dum da dum...
