Heart2Heart

You looked around the world

You finally found the girl

You know you've got it made

You can even count the ways

The way she takes your hand

Navigates a plan

The way she's getting through

Your thoughts your attitude

You have never felt this way before 

You want to be sure

Listen to your heart

Your heart knows what to say

Follow with your heart 

Your heart will show the way

You don’t  have to feel afraid

If you let your heart show the way

Listen to your heart

Follow with your heart

And still you hesitate

You can't concentrate

You want to seize the day

Your foot sits on the brake

Listen to your heart

Your heart knows what to say

Follow with your heart 

Your heart will show the way

You don’t  have to feel afraid

If you let your heart show the way

Listen to your heart

Follow with your heart

Do you want to know what love is?

Love is a photograph

Love is the way she laughed

Love is a wave that crashed

Love is

You have never felt this way before 

You want to be sure

Listen to your heart

Your heart knows what to say

Follow with your heart 

Your heart will show the way

You don’t  have to feel afraid

If you let your heart show the way

Listen to your heart

Follow with your heart

Will you stay will you go

Will you tell her when you know?

Love is

Love is

Keep On Trying

Sun rise early rise and shine

I don't care I don't mind

Make some coffee and raise the blind

Keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Been awhile since I'm alright

I got a Civil War inside

I'll feel better when I decide

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

I'll be my moon I'll change the tide

I'll make a wave I'll take a ride

If it leaves me high and dry oh my

Keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Sun goes down night arrives

Like a million other times

Tomorrow I could win the prize

So I keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Gonna keep on trying

Rainy Day

Rainy day grainy like the beat

Rainy day the way I used to be

I Wish I could lay me down in them clouds

Outta reach

And I would say out loud

I will let it be

Rainy day falling hard on me

Rainy day betray and missing keys

I wish I could let my guard out

She could roam the street 

Rain falling all around

I would set her free

Rainy day just a rainy day

Rainy day just a rainy day

Don’t I know her? Don’t I know her?

Don’t I know her? Don’t I know her?

I don’t know her I don’t know her

I don’t know

Rainy day me and Mr. Keats

Rainy day the way it has to be

I wish I could find my way down around this defeat

I’ll just tell myself that I will let it be- oh

Rainy day just a rainy day

Rainy day just a rainy day

DAMAGED

I’m gonna take what’s left of my life I’m gonna make

Something of myself

What you gave was great advice

Doesn’t mean that it’s any kind of help for me now

Now

I’m damaged

One of the walking wounded

Damage

Problem is on the inside

You can’t see it

I’m gonna give myself a break

‘Cause I’m ok

Being who I am

I need space so go away

It’s gonna take time for me to heal now

Now

I’m damaged

One of the walking wounded

Damage

Problem is on the inside

You can’t see it

Yeah well I’ve been mad

Hotter than hell

The anger I’m trying not to

Turn it on myself

I’m gonna give what I need to give

I’m gonna take

what I need to live

There’s my boundary

Here’s the stakes

Don’t you step on my goodwill

I’m damaged

One of the walking wounded

Damage

Here on the inside

You can’t see it

Damaged

One of the walking wounded

Damage

Problem is on the inside you can’t see it

Damaged

Good, Good-Bye
Hard to say hard to know

When to stay and when to go

Hard to quit hard to try

Hard to say goodbye 

Try to put my finger on it

Try to wrap my brain around it

Every time I found it

It went awry 

Good, good goodbye 

Good, good goodbye 

Won’t let nobody make me cry

Won’t let nobody break this lovely heart

You were always complicated 

That’s the way you made it

When I think ill fated

I think of you and I 

Yeah we’re down the drain 

Yeah a little stain

I can’t explain I wont deny

Good, good goodbye 

Good, good goodbye 

Won’t let nobody make me cry

Won’t let nobody break this lovely heart

You always said you were of a kind 

You’re the kind who I could not find

When I needed a shoulder to lean on

You told me goodbye

Hard to say hard to know

When to stay and when to go

Hard to quit hard to try

You told me goodbye 

Hard to say hard to know

When to stay and when to go

Hard to quit hard to try

You told me goodbye

Hard to say hard to know

When to stay and when to go

Hard to quit hard to try

Good good good goodbye

I'm not a sunny day

I'm not a sunny day

When you need a friend 

Oh You need a friend

Cause you need a friend now

Eighty miles an hour

Like a meteor shower

I did not cower

I will defend you

I will always stand beside you

It will never end

I will always be

Your rainy day friend

The storm is closing in

Backs against the wind

Feel like giving in

Don’t give in take my hand now

Where You Are             

When I crawled through your window

I had been drinking so

You helped me in

Didn't know you too well

What were you thinking

Cheshire grin

I am running the streets of my hometown

Without any future

No where to turn to so I turn alone

In My Ruins

I wonder where you are 

 

When I crawled through your winter

Entertaining angels

Unawares

Prayed for my savior 

You were already 

Here

I am running the streets of my hometown

Without any future

No where to turn to so I turn alone

In My Ruins

I wonder where you are

I crawl through cars and bars and find some kind of truth

Don't need to eat don't need to sleep

I don't need you

 

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

I don’t need you

 

Nah, I don't need you I don't need you I got nothing to prove

Hell, I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you

Running the streets of my hometown

Without any future

Nowhere to turn to so I turn alone

In My ruin

I wonder where you are

 

I wonder where you are

Where You Are

I wonder where you are

Where You Are

I wonder where you are

Where You Are

I wonder where you are

Where You Are

Forever (Debs song)

 

Don't look up, don't look down

Keep your eyes straight and narrow

Don't go up, don't go down

Keep your heart brave like an arrow

 

And we will and we will and we will

Stay together

Come this way come this way come this way

This way forever

 

Take your past, take your trash

Hurry fast to the gallows 

Can't get back what didn't last let it pass

Pull the lever

 

And we will and we will and we will

Stay together

Come this way come this way come this way

This way forever

And I will love you better than any other lover

May have tried

You will remember you and I

Building our life

 

And we will and we will and we will

Stay together

Come this way come this way come this way

This way forever

You Could Be My Hero

 

Pull me close and I'll pull you closer

We were close and now even closer

I really need the sweet love you gave me

I believe that your love could save me

 

You could be my hero 

You could be my hero

Take my hand take my hand

Show me the way

 

You could be my hero

I need a hero

You could be my hero

I need a hero

I need a hero

 

One below and I'm getting colder

I wanna know when you're coming over

I believe the sweet love you gave me

I believe that your love could save me

 

You could be my hero 

You could be my hero

Take my hand take my hand

Show me the way

 

You could be my hero

I need a hero

You could be my hero

I need a hero

I need a hero

Time Out                                  

 

You don't want to look at me

And see what you have done

You want me to be 

The same little girl that you promised you would always protect

 

You want to pretend that I'm not changed

When baby I am

And I'll never be the same little girl

And so what

 

I can call time out

I can say I don't want to play

Well I've been in love I've been afraid

No they’re not the same

I can call time out

Time out

 

You want to call me up and play word games

Safely from a distance 

distorting our past resistance

To intimacy and affection

 

You want to pull me like taffy

See how far you can take me

Till I break and get all over you

So you can brush me off

 

I can call time out

I can say I don't want to play

Well I've been in love been afraid

No they’re  not the same

I can call time out

Half in the past

Looking for my future fast

I've made so many mistakes

All I can say is

Time out time out

 

You don't want to look at me and

And see what you have done

You don't want to look at me

See what I have done

 

I can call time out

I can say I don't want to play

I can call time out

I can call time out

Time out

Over the Sea to Skye

 

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone

Say, could that lad be I?

Merry of soul he sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

Mull was astem

Rum on the port

Eigg on the starboard bow,

Glory of youth glowed in his soul

Where is that glory now?

 

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,

Say, could that lad be I?

Merry of soul he sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

 

Give me again all that was there

Give me the sun that shone

Give me the eyes, give me the soul

Give me the lad that's gone

 

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,

Say, could that lad be I?

Merry of soul he sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

Billow and breeze, islands and seas

Mountains of rain and sun

All that was good, all that was fair

All that was me is gone

 

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,

Say, could that lad be I?

Merry of soul he sailed on a day

Over the sea to Skye

Over the sea to Skye

Over the sea to Skye
