Love

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I can't get anything right
I can't even let myself fall apart
You say I hold on too tight
To the last thread of sanity in this weakened heart
But when there's nothing to lose and nothing to gain
I say love is not the answer
And i throw another lock on my heart
But you hold the key

Chorus:
Won't you wake me up and tell me it's alright
Offer to put some of the weight on your back
Tell me the only thing I'll find here is love
Love

It seems like everywhere I turn, this is the story
Love moves in and out of our desperate hearts
And the days get so lonely
When you're ready for a change but don't know where to start
I fear I'll always be alone
Then I look into your eyes and it softens the blow
So who knows
Do I need to be afraid to let it show

If I could change, I would leave it all behind me now
I'd choose to believe in love
Outside of this fear, I think I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm just afraid to let it show

Where Do We Go

Where Do We Go

Is this just comfort in each other
Or friends turned into lovers
No label to define just what we are
Safety in the darkness
Defenseless when our eyes met
Seeking explanation of intent

But I would do it again
If I knew what you were feeling
Would you do it again
How am I to sleep
I see your face upon my pillow
Every time my eyes close
And now I'm in too deep

Chorus:
Oh, where do we go
Oh, where do we go from here

Careful of what I'm showing
i am moving slowly now
How can we be together
Help me find the answers
I'm trying not to jump too far ahead
For me to take a chance
All I need to know is will you take a chance
And do you long for me to hold you
I want your face upon my pillow
Every time my eyes close
And now I'm in too deep

Do we stand a chance
Demons disappear
Could a little faith make us strong enough
To escape our fears
in this restlessness
I am open, I am near
Just give me your hand
And I'll help you realize
There's no need to hide
There's no need to hide

Repeat Chorus

Drowning

Drowning

I hear the phone ring
I'm lying awake
But I wait for the message
Even though I know I won't hear your voice anymore
What's this emptiness surrounding me
Is it too soon to tell
I'd rather be anywhere with you
Than trapped in my mind
Here in this hell
I'm drowning

It's a hopeless equation
You and me, me and you, divided by another
Or maybe I'm just crazy
To think we should have what we wish for
Well I heard from someone
Who heard from another
That she's got you so weak, you can barely stand
I know it's only hearsay
But please hear me when I say
i think we deserve another chance

Chorus:
I'm drowning
I'm down again
Why is it any fool could see
I gave you the best part of me
Drowning
Down again
Why is it any fool could see
You need me
And I need you

Let's get ourselves together
We can have what we wish for
If both believe we can find it
I am here with open arms
And I'm trying to get through to you
Just leave the past behind

Repeat Chorus

Around & Around

Around & Around

We are always on the outside
Looking on the inside
Behind what everybody shows
But you can't find forgiveness
When you're fighting for answers
And the truth has not been told
Maybe we can't turn the page and go back again
Even though we feel we need to try
What's left is fear
And it's in our hearts and it's in our minds
But we'll never fight it until we really try
Until we really try

Chorus:
We go around and around
Don't let it stop - no
It's the least I expect
When you keep me coming back for more
But if it's too much to ask for
Then I guess I'll have to let it go
I still love you
And everybody knows

Faith through understanding
Forgiveness through answers
Always just beyond our reach
But if you take some time and take a step back
Define what you're after
Then you will come to see, you will come to see
Everything that we are and all that we'll ever be
Is within our power to refine
My dreams are mine
You can't take that away - don't you even try
And just remember what you give, in turn you'll find
What you give, in turn you'll find

As I move on to the other side
What will I find
The truth is harder than you realize
But you have left me to read between the lines
Oh, but I can see through you out there
I can see through you out there
I can see through you out there

Repeat Chorus
