back where i began

what must i do to really have her
cause i want her
when she plays so hard to get
let me count the ways i love her
yeah i'll love her
for all the years ahead
she waits for me, waits for me
with her feet here on the ground
until i get my head out of the clouds
she wakes me, i break free
she shows me who i am
and when i think i have her figured out
i'm back where i began
i can see how much she needs me
like i need her
as she slowly lets me in
when i put my arms around her
there's comfort
like a price for me to win
she waits for me, waits for me
with her feet here on the ground
until i get my head out of the clouds
she wakes me, i break free
she shows me who i am
and when i think i have her figured out
i'm back where i began
she still captivates me
like a puppet on a string
she keeps me interested
she's got everything
and i'll wrap around her finger
just to reach her
she waits for me, waits for me
with her feet here on the ground
until i get my head out of the clouds
she wakes me, i break free
she shows me who i am
and when i think i have her figured out
i'm back where i began

they come with their reasons
but i don't believe them
the biggest hand takes it all
a plot to assign blame
no matter what time takes
i'm building my taj mahal
still i can't stand another word of it
when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
when you went away darling
man in the ocean
hangs on to a notion
that one day soon he'll be found
lips parched and thirsty
suffers the irony
that the water is all around
still he can't take a single drop of it
when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
i knew when we started
that you'd be the end of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to carry me
there's something that she said
that this is not the end
must go back to the hand that hurt me
when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
i knew when we started
that you'd be the end of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to carry me

safe

listen
listen to your heart now
telling you that somehow
i feel safe
this time
this would be the first time
this could be the last time
your heart breaks
the night is falling
i will be with you
night is falling
girl let me kiss you
night is falling
stay with me til the break of day
hurting
i'd never dream of flirting
that would be the worst thing
i could do
slowly
slowly moving closer
careful not to over power you
the night is falling
i will be with you
night is falling
girl let me kiss you
night is falling
stay with me til the break of day

more that i can say
03:56
|
|||
the tables turn
i'm inside out
thought you belonged to someone else
and now you come to me in my dreams
call me if there's something wrong
you can call me just so i can hear you breathe
it always brings a smile to me
is there more that i can say
what would it take to change your mind
and make you stay awhile
is there nothing i can do
to help you see this through
if you come around
i'll be waiting for you
i put my heart out right there for you
it wasn't smart
a crazy thing to do
now you know the truth
yes, i feel a little broken
but i've no regrets in telling you
i think you feel it too
is there more that i can say
what would it take to change your mind
and make you stay awhile
is there nothing i can do
to help you see this through
if you come around
i'll be waiting for you
if you need a friend
more than a lover today
i can pretend that's okay
is there more that i can say
what would it take to change your mind
and make you stay awhile
is there nothing i can do
to help you see this through
if you come around
i'll be waiting for you

promise
04:05

in a place i knew well
beside you a seat
i said to myself
'now there's a girl that i'd like to meet'
let me stay a while
we can talk for weeks
just enough time for you
for you to see the real me
and all that we can be
everything about us
is hanging on a promise
if you think i doubt us
and i can't be honest
take my reassurance
and let it give you solace
you're all i ever wanted
in the curve of your face
in a dress that you wear
when you walk with grace
in the curl of your hair
your beauty reaches me
like sunlight on a warm wedding day
but i still love you
even in the pouring rain
this is why i say
everything about us
is hanging on a promise
if you think i doubt us
and i can't be honest
take my reassurance
and let it give you solace
you're all i ever wanted
how the years have passed
i've seen all the trouble life's brought to you
but our love will last
don't think for a moment i've doubted you
everything about us
is hanging on a promise
if you think i doubt us
and i can't be honest
take my reassurance
and let it give you solace
you're all i ever wanted

come my way
04:08

she told me that i was a sinner
and that if i tried
could do better
but what is this standard of measure
that kicks you when you're down
she'd say that my faith is fleeting
but i tell you my heart is still beating
looking for an intimate setting for two
i've crossed the line
of no returning
though she tried to make me stay
i hope in time
your heart is yearning
and i'll see you come my way
one sip from the cup she was drinking
went straight to my head with her thinking
she had me believe i kept needing
to come back for more
i finally saw through the riddle
no need for someone in the middle
hold on, this will hurt just a little
baby let go
i've crossed the line
of no returning
though she tried to make me stay
i hope in time
your heart is yearning
and i'll see you come my way
i'm so done with her
who used her words to cage my rhyme
tell me that you're sure
only to change your mind
i've crossed the line
of no returning
though she tried to make me stay
i hope in time
your heart is yearning
and i'll see you come my way
