I'm walking Take one step, and two behind I'm talking Got so much to say, and so little time I'm dreaming But I'm not sleeping, my life away I'm hoping Don't know where I'm going But I'm on my way I won't waste another day On little things that don't mean nothing I just want to say It took some time, but I finally see it Thank you for the air I'm breathing She's running Like a cat, that's the way she moves She's rolling Like a wheel, yeah that's her groove She's laughing Really laughing, laughing with me She's smiling I always love it when When she smiles at me I won't waste another day On little things that don't mean nothing I just want to say It took some time, but I finally see it Thank you for the air I'm breathing We’re living this merry-go-round, always up and down We’re forgiven, all forgiven We’re glory bound I won't waste another day On little things that don't mean nothing I just want to say It took some time, but I finally see it Thank you for the air I breathe Chorus repeat I’m breathing (repeat)

Walking in the morning sun, laughing at the rain so far away today Rain so far away Take my hand and sing a song, crazy sunshine song So happy to see you smile, we’ve waited way too long And what you don’t know, how are you gonna let it go? The anchor draggin’ us down And me I don’t mind, if you want to take your time Just as long as we are finally movin’ on Seven sisters in a dream, seven stars above They’re talking bout’ love sweet love, just can’t get enough Seven days till we reach home, let me get back home I’m leaving this place behind Cause we’ve been here way too long And what you don’t know, how are you gonna let it go? The anchor draggin’ us down And me I don’t mind, if you want to take your time Just as long as we are finally movin’ on Finally movin’ on (Inst section) And what you don’t know, how are you gonna let it go? The anchor draggin’ us down And me I don’t mind, if you want to take your time Finally movin’ on And what you don’t see, how are you gonna let it be? Stop draggin’ that anchor around And me I don’t mind, if you want to take your time Just as long as we are finally Just as long as we are finally movin’ on

I’ve made so many mistakes Sometimes it’s hard to keep em’ all straight in my head. . yes it is I’ve been knocked down so many times, talked down too many times If what they is true, well I should be dead Heaven only knows it ain’t easy You’ll never be alone if you can see it I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun When the morning comes and the moon and stars have gone I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun I’ve lost the world from the palm of my hand I let the girl and all the money go straight to my head. . yes I did Now I’m back at the end of the line, start me over one more time Can’t believe it’s true but here I go again Heaven only knows it ain’t easy You’ll never be alone if you can see it I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun When the morning comes and the moon and stars have gone I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun So when you think it’s over don’t give up Just when you think that you have had enough Here it comes I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun When the morning comes and the moon and stars have gone I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting on the sun Waiting On The Sun, Waiting On The Sun, Waiting On The Sun Waiting On The Sun, there it is Waiting On The Sun, there it is, there it is

He was already gone, lost with his head full of wrong Drifting with nowhere to go, and nothing to show Till she came along, she believes in the songs that he sings He tells her with all her desire “I’m gonna set the world on fire” Oh what a life, oh what a day Since you came into my little world I want you to know, I wanted to say Thank you for being a friend when I’m down I need you around and I won’t look back No I won’t look back at all She was all the way down, but tryin’ to turn it around She gotta heart made of gold, she won’t let it turn to stone And he believes, he believes in all of her dreams She whispers with all her desire “I’m gonna set the world on fire” Oh what a life, oh what a day Since you came into my little world I want you to know, I wanted to say Thank you for being a friend when I’m down I need you around and I won’t look back No I won’t look back at all At all, at all , at all. . . no I won’t look back at all Oh what a life, oh what a day Since you came into my little world I want you to know, I wanted to say Thank you for being a friend when I’m down I need you around and I won’t look back No I won’t look back at all At all, at all , at all. . . no I won’t look back at all

Here comes another curve ball Aren’t you glad you brought your glove? Here comes another mule in your stall. . . That crazy thing called love Here comes another push Can you take another shove? And everyday we’re taking things as they come We’re making our way back to the sun Maybe someday we’ll learn half of what we need to know And forget it all again by tomorrow There goes another cloud Hangin’ dark over my past There goes another break Why do the lucky run so fast? There goes another heartache Thought the last one would be the last And everyday we’re taking things as they come… Here comes the day I behave And another second chance Here comes another one Slipping through my hands Here comes the lesson now Sing along if you can And everyday we take the world as it comes We’re making our way back to the sun Maybe someday we’ll learn half of what we need to know And forget it all again by tomorrow

Jaded 03:31
Don’t want to cloud your blue skies baby I’ve got to let you know I’ve been riding out this place for too long Don’t let me disappear Don’t want to lose another year or fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded, don’t let me be jaded All my friends wrote me off a long time ago But hey I’m going to write how the story goes I’m gonna make a plan Change the world Reach for all the stars in the sky tonight I’m never coming down Don’t let me disappear Don’t want to lose another year or fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded, don’t let me be jaded Don’t want to be jaded, don’t let me be jaded Am I too late to set the record straight? Am I fading out or am I just jaded? Don’t let me disappear Don’t want to lose another year or fade into the sun Don’t let me disappear Don’t want to lose another year or fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded Don’t let me fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded Don’t let me fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded, don’t let me fade into the sun Don’t want to be jaded, don’t let me fade into the sun. . .

Just when I thought that the fog would never clear You know the constellations, they delivered you here I was convinced that the sun was eclipsed by a life so hard This is a love song Don’t you think we need one? Never been more awake, never been quite so alive This is a love song How could it be wrong? Hey baby have you read all the headlines today? It’s a killing time and we’ll never be the same When revenge is a smoking gun And we all live under the sun This is a love song Don’t you think we need one? Never been more awake, never been quite so alive This is a love song Don’t you think we need one? Never been more awake, never been quite so alive This is a love song How could it be wrong? How could it be? I am overcome And all the innocence is gone Where’d you go? Where’d you go? Where’d you go? Where did you go? I’m losing you This is a love song Don’t you think we need one? Never been more awake, never been quite so alive This is a love song Don’t you think we need one? Never been more awake, never been quite so alive This is a love song How could it be? How could it be? And all the innocence is gone Where’d you go? Gone. Where’d you go? Gone, gone. . .this is a love song

Here We Are 03:41
In my lifetime of wondering, whatever would the future bring? And will we ever know? So I tried to find a better way, could never find the words to say And now those days are gone I’m not alone anymore, I’m not alone anymore We can take out time, time is on our side Get the feeling right if it takes us all night We don’t need to know which way the wind may blow Cause here we are With you I want to be, between the moon and a sea of light in your eyes And in time you’ll help me change my ways, and help me see the light of day Where there was only night I’m not alone anymore, I’m not alone anymore We can take out time, time is on our side Get the feeling right if it takes us all night We don’t need to know which way the wind may blow Cause here we are We can drive for miles, take it all in stride We can fall asleep neath’ the California sky Direction we don’t know, wherever we may go Here we are I’m not alone anymore, I’m not alone anymore We can take out time, time is on our side Get the feeling right if it takes us all night We don’t need to know which way the wind may blow Cause here we are We can drive for miles, take it all in stride We can fall asleep neath’ the California sky Direction we don’t know, wherever we may go Here we are

So Let Me In 03:22
Before we said “hello” you knew what this was all about So you’re not gonna make me cry Yesterday is gone. don’t let it keep you up at night. . . Like it’s coming after you In every way we are the same It’s true. In every way we are the same So let me in, so let me in I see the universe in your eyes So let me in, so let me in Before the future is saying goodbye When heaven has gone away does it lead your mind to stray at night? The wheels keep spinning around but you just stay in place So come and join the human race, like it’s coming after you In every way we are the same It’s true. In every way we are the same So let me in, so let me in I see the universe in your eyes So let me in, so let me in Before the future is saying goodbye So let me in, so let me in Into the universe in your eyes So let me in, so let me in I see the universe in your eyes So let me in, so let me in Before the future is saying goodbye So let me in, so let me in Into the universe in your eyes

I hope you’re happy now I hope you’re finding how You let it slip away All the love we made I hope you’re happy It’s too late for sorry now It’s too late to turn around I hope you’re happy now A love you’ll live without So put on a happy face Whatever gets you through the day But I know you’re sorry now So cry yourself to sleep with the secrets that you keep It’s too late for sorry now It’s too late to turn around I hope you’re happy Are you willing it to be? Letting go, the life you used to know Bridges burning down It’s too late to cross them now It’s too late to turn around Much too late for sorry So cry yourself to sleep With the secrets that you keep It’s too late for sorry now It’s too late to turn around I hope you’re happy now I hope you’re happy

I thought I knew it all, I used to be so sure But that ain’t working for me anymore I could make a list, write it all down All the reasons to leave or hang around But I’m shaking and I’m nervous, like everything is new I want to tell you, I need to tell you If I hesitate, it’s cause I don’t know what to say It might seem strange But how can I explain the desert and the rain, the light as it hits your face? Without a doubt, I’m holding out for you Take it as it comes, a place under the sun I know we can find it if we try It’s more than just a wish or a dream I can’t forget when I wake up It took so long to wake up If I hesitate, it’s cause I don’t know what to say It might seem strange But how can I explain the desert and the rain, the light as it hits your face? Without a doubt, I’m holding out for you Now I understand, see the plan right in front of me We can be all we want to be Take my hand my friend Don’t want to wait another day to give you everything I hope I’m not too late If I hesitate, it’s cause I don’t know what to say It might seem strange But how can I explain the desert and the rain, the light as it hits your face? Without a doubt, I’m holding out Without a doubt I’m holding. . . If I hesitate, it’s cause I don’t know what to say It might seem strange But how can I explain the desert and the rain, the light as it hits your face? Without a doubt, I’m holding out for you Holding out for you
