This Time
I've wanted only your hand
Something only I could understand
A deeper kind of trust
With passion not just lust
I found it

This time
Always on my mind
Tell me why should I fight
What I know is right?

Finally I asked--I got
Suddenly face to face with what I'm not
All the other times
I never really cared
It never really mattered
But now I'm aware that

This time
Always on my mind
Tell me why should I fight
What I know is right?

Now I'm aware
Now with open eyes
No longer scared
Scared of what's inside

This time...


Moving Forward
Moving forward
Looking backward
At things not easily left behind
To make decisions
And stick with them when
I see your face all the time

But I can't erase you from my mind
Maybe it's easier with time
Maybe

The phone stopped ringing
The endless thinking
Of how we might have worked it out
And now the questions...
So full of tension
It's so hard to live with this doubt

But I can't erase you from my mind
Maybe it's easier with time
I know that we're not right together
I know that nothing lasts forever
But I can't erase you from my mind

Another time
We might have gotten it right
Another time
Fate would have changed our plans
Now there's no time
Now there's nothing left
Now there's no time
Now it's out of our hands

Moving forward
Looking backward
At things not easily left behind
To make decisions
And stick with them when
I see your face all the time



Defensive
You drop the ball
And I get reprimanded
Not everything evolves
Pull on the rope
And let go
But you ease my fall
With hot air

Defensive, true
And all because of you

This fire can't be put out
And I won't let me walk out
Until everything's resolved
Swing if you need to
Make me believe you

Defensive, true
And all because of you
This fire can't be put out

What I do to you in my head
Is unthinkable in truth

Now you say that I'm defensive, true
And all because of you
This fire can't be put out
And I won't let me walk out


Shine
You walk slowly
I pull ahead
You need answers
I’d rather move forward instead

Some kind of middle ground is all I ask
But sometimes just living your life
is such a difficult task

Shine with me
We can rise above
Or we could remain on our knees if you please...

I’m lettin’ go of a friend
I couldn’t wait ‘til the end
A message I must send to you, my friend:

You’re so fucking hard to love!
So hard not to love!
Scars are running deep
and heavy hands provide disguising

Shine with me
We can rise above
Try to see
when I’ve had enough
And don’t come around

I have tried coming back
Can’t deny what I’ve done

Shine with me
We can rise above
Try to see
when I’ve had enough
And don’t come around
Don’t even come around
