I Want You Bad

I see the wind
Whisper in the light
When darkness falls
It deafens to my sighs

I see the moon
Flirting in the sky
When clouds depart
It’s as lonely as I

(Chorus)
I want you bad
No strings attached
Give into me
Why don’t you understand?
You’ve got me hooked
Spinning to your moves
I do the same
Don’t I to you

I see a spark
Blazing in your eyes
Caught on to me
It burns me from inside

I see a need
It’s got you tongue-tied
I feel it too
Running through my sides

(Chorus)
I want you bad
No strings attached
Give into me
Why don’t you understand?
You’ve got me hooked
Spinning to your moves
I do the same
Don’t I to you

I want you bad
No strings attached
Give into me

Let me soar and I’ll set you free

How does a broken heart heal

How does a broken heart heal?
Why do I find it so hard to move on and feel?
There’s no reason to believe
One love is all we get; one love is all that we need.

Yet when the hurt goes numb
Your name your voice whispers through me out of my skin
Days go on … days go on
Can’t let go off the look in your eyes that makes me real

But darling you’re not here
Am left with pieces of memory
Stone cold and dead to touch
I’m searching for another reason to be

How does a broken heart feel?
When there’s no reason left to live no means to heal

Yet when I see you smile
Breath rushes through me; I’m alive again
Days go on … days go on
You’re still here but you won’t even say my name

But darling you don’t get
How much I need you to feel
Alive, aroused, amazed
You’re the only one; you make me complete

How does this broken heart feel?
How do I learn to live without you with you and breathe?
You’re my reason to be
Say you love me and I will heal.

Every time...


Every time you walk into my life
You change it
Change it for good
Change it for bad
You change it (repeat)

And I … still as a fool
Can’t move on … I’m addicted to you
But these words I know
Don’t mean nothing to you
You say, hey! Move aside, let me through
You say, hey now! This ain’t working for you

And all I can do … is wait and brood
Wait for you to … change me through

All I need from you is a single touch
To mould me
Hold me tight, to hold me close, to just
Hold me

la la la la la la la la la
You change me
Every time you walk into my life
You change me

And I … still as a fool
Can’t move on … I’m addicted to you
But these words I know
Don’t mean nothing to you
I say, hey! Look at me now I’m talking to you
I say, hey now! I’m the only one for you

But you only … see the room
There’s no you-me … I’m such a fool

And every time you walk on by you stare
Right through me
Break my heart a million times you do
You tear me apart

But I’m crazy for you
Can’t deny … I’m addicted to you
But these words I know
Don’t mean nothing to you

But these words I know
Don’t mean nothing to you

Tonight I Go

Tonight I go
Tonight I go away to another world
Where no one knows my name or cares to know
Who I am or what I am running from this way

(Chorus)
And I’ll be somebody else … yeah
And I’ll somebody else … yeah
And I’ll be somebody else
(Repeat Chorus)

It takes a while
To realise what you want and what you’ve got
To leave behind the things that matter most
To lose it all
You’re left behind
Nowhere to run but running still the same
To a place where no one cares to know your name
Or who you are

(Chorus)
And I’ll be somebody else … yeah
And I’ll somebody else … yeah
And I’ll be somebody else
(Repeat Chorus)

The Trouble with Truth

The trouble with truth:
Everyone lies
The trouble with words:
Everything flies
The trouble with notes:
They don’t satisfy
The need to touch, the needs of sight

So why don’t you stop running around
Sit down beside me and say it aloud
Despite yourself, despite your will,
That you need me
More than you need to breathe

But the trouble with legs
They need to run
They take you away from me
As the sun when set takes away the warmth
The trouble with arms
They need to hold
I need my space
But I need you more

So why don’t you stop holding me off
Take my hand and let me take yours
Despite yourself, despite your will
I need myself
But I need you more.

I need you more than I need to breathe.

But the trouble with truth
When everyone lies
The trouble with faith
When nobody tries
To believe in things that can’t be justified
Is that I’m left with words alone
Words that won’t ever die

Here grows my heart

Where the grass grows high
and where the flowers bloom aplenty
Where the breeze has found its way

Where the summer sun
smiles down on the meadows
But there is always shade on a sunny day

Where the rain falls but never pours
And the roots grow strong and deep
And all of what is there is all you’ll ever need

Here grows my heart
This is where I sleep

Suddenly the world is bright (being revised)


Suddenly the world seems bright
I feel so light, it feels so right

Can’t seem to write
Words escape me
You are by my side

Was living in a million pieces
Making sense of everyday things
Why the butter goes on toast first
Why there’s no meaning to living

And suddenly my world is bright
It feels so right, I feel so light
Can’t find the words to tell you
You’re all I’ll ever need
Won't ever forgive you, for stealing my heart from me (smiling)

And suddenly my world is bright
I feel so light, it feels so right
To wake up to you each morning
Have coffee and toast with jam
There’s no better way of saying
Than living my life with you

Back at the Start


When love’s no longer there
When there’s nothing but despair
We reach for each other in the dark
Pretend we’re back at the start
And we are happy again
Lost and found in the rain
Two strangers stranded in the park
No place to hide no need to dart

We could have been so good together
Skin on skin
Breathing each other
No space to set us apart
You could have been mine and I yours
Joined by lips … two fused souls
No one could tell us apart

But you had to leave my world for more
Wasn’t enough that I was always yours
Now our paths have crossed
We barely talk
But I can feel you feel me hurt
And you know that we won’t ever stop

Till you find me … all over again
And tell me things … left unspoken then

We’ve denied ourselves enough
It’s time we give in to love
Reach for each other in the dark
Pretend we’re back at the start

We’ll be there for each other baby
Till the end of time, no maybes

Now I’ve got you in my arms …

Confused


Switch on the light at the end of the tunnel
Can’t see my way out
Find me a hand that I can take and run through the darkness
Make sure that it’s yours or I won’t grab

Switch on the light
I need to see your face
I need to know it’s you
You can’t fool me; I've lost the feel of your hand

Or answer me this
And take away my confusion
Why the light that burns so bright
Comes from you and not the light that’s been switched on?

Turn on the light inside me, too
Let me see you like it's the first time
The sun has no warmth without you
Am so confused by all the light

Strange Lines


Lines across the universe
Intertwine
These famous lines
That our hands define
They make me yours
They make you mine

These strange lines …
These strange lines …
