you don’t do what they say even when you’re afraid you wanna believe there’s something good so you waited for a while to see if she would smile you wanna believe there’s something good and when you hope against hope it’s like climbing a slippery slope but then just out of view i’ll be waiting for you and you won’t change your mind even when there’s still time you wanna believe there’s something good and when you hope against hope it’s like climbing a slippery slope but then just out of view i’ll be waiting for you there’s something about her you don’t really know you just wanna see her but she doesn’t show and when you hope against hope it’s like climbing a slippery slope but then out of the blue you make room for me and you for two

Suddenly 03:26
suddenly there’s a calm when i can be in your arms pretend that we are apart so i can see in your heart chained and changing away and waiting but suddenly, suddenly remember when we were young we flew our kites near the sun to heights we fear were not allowed but drew our names up in the clouds strange and straining afraid of fading but suddenly, suddenly there’s so many words that i’ve been dreaming of i can’t define what’s been on my mind but i will try to keep you by my side always suddenly, suddenly suddenly, suddenly always, always
3.
sometimes we try to stand still but then we end up moving sometimes we try to make sense for things we end up choosing sometimes we just can’t ignore something worth, fighting for and all the way down i wanna fall all the way down i wanna fall sometimes you know what you want but other times not you want to hold on to everything to everyone you’ve got sometimes you look for something more someone worth, falling for and all the way down i wanna fall all the way down i wanna fall oh all the way down
4.
wait a little while walk a million miles from all your know keep the windows clear hold on to all your fears and let go cuz love you wanna take your time love you don’t always come around love you gotta make up your mind make up your mind take a little longer find some time to wander and make mistakes cuz when the feeling’s right you put up a worthy fight for heartaches cuz love you wanna take your time love you don’t always come around love you gotta make up your mind make up your mind cuz love you wanna take your time love you don’t always come around love you gotta make up your mind cuz love you wanna take your time love you don’t always come around love you gotta make up your mind love you wanna take your time

when you were younger you held my hand you’d run with me and i’d help you understand that there’ll be sunshine there’ll be some pain just like a rainbow after the rain so cry, darling, cry your friends are yours so you can decide if things are bad will they stand by your side don’t hold your breath don’t talk too loud when things get lost they don’t always be found so cry, darling, cry you’ll always be the one i adore i wanna hold you til i can’t anymore and when you’re older you’ll have to roam just think of me if you’re ever alone there will be sunshine there’ll be some pain just like a rainbow after the rain so cry, darling, cry just like a rainbow after the rain so cry, darling, cry cry, darling, cry

i drink this wine to clear my head at night just thinking about our lives and what lies instead will you still write me if i'm in the wrong will you still write me when i'm in the wrong and that is why i call out your name in open valleys i am the one to blame will you still write me if i'm in the wrong will you still write me when i'm in the wrong and through it all i still feel small that fateful fall i still recall i still recall i close my eyes and let my soul out and least i traveled without any doubts will you still write me if i'm in the wrong will you still write me when i'm in the wrong

Someday 04:48
oh mama i’m coming this train is running don’t know which way to turn somehow i’m here now my head in the clouds when will i ever learn i wanna hear them play i wanna hear them sing i wanna find a way maybe some day tonight in this town we’ll turn the lights down we’ll make it all worth while and then you’ll see me up in this city the world is on my side i wanna hear them play i wanna hear them sing i wanna find a way maybe one day someday we’ll stay in the sun we’ll make it fun someday they’ll be another one we’ll make a run i wanna hear them play i wanna hear them sing i wanna find a way maybe someday here, here someday we’ll make it here, here someday we’ll make it here here, here someday we’ll make it real
8.
lord read my words or pretend to hear them i pray that these days won’t end but only begin would you be scared? to climb the stairs could you be free to follow my lead to follow through into the blue i wait for a break in time to see a sign for now until i’m found i will stay another day would you be there a crutch to bear could you be free to travel and leave to follow through into the blue so i walk into the dark and then start again would you prepare to go anywhere could you be free to make and believe to follow through into the blue

Reminder 04:03
if there’s a soul where does it go when we’re gone it’s a mystery to me why we must leave if we belong but if there is light in your eyes will you remind me if there is hope in your arms will you come find me you’ll always be mine you’ll always be mine memories fade when history’s made from the ground and all of these faces fill up the pages they keep you around but if there is light in your eyes will you remind me if there is hope in your arms will you come find me you’ll always be mine you’ll always be mine i can’t wait another day can we be ourselves and not change it won’t be long when dusk becomes dawn i won’t waste your time but if there is light in your eyes will you remind me if there is hope in your arms will you come find me you’ll always be mine always be mine
10.
If You 02:25
if you choose to be mine i could be your valentine if our love was true i could be yours soon always be your moon if our love was true if you feel so inclined i would if love could be blind and our love was true i could be yours soon always be your moon if our love was true how long must i remember that love can last forever if you want to be loved then love if you made up your mind i could be one of a kind if our love was true i could be yours soon always be your moon if our love was true would you
