Givers and Takers

I’m not yet quite ready for this love

I know I can face the easy days

But when the days between us begin to turn rough

I want to know if it’s tough love

Or together we fall still reqauinted


Some are givers, some are takers

Some feel real love, others love fakers

Oh I’m looking in the eye of a needle

With the vision of an eagle

Seeking your love inside


Givers and takers, I’m ready to give my all

But if you take it all, what will you give in return


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be


I’m not counting the amounts I want in return

Just that your gonna let this fire burn

If I have to go searching for wood

You know I won’t be gone for long

I’ll give you as much as your can carry


Givers and takers, I’m ready to give my all

But if you take it all, what will you give in return


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be

Up Another Level

I got slower in my travels
The sadder the sights that meet my eyes
A reflection on the train windows
Cities in decay, streets overcome with tears
It cant move fast enough for me
I feel the dirt of the city cling to my face

Just sinking in the quicksand
Hold up my hand for one last chance to be found
up another level, holding out for an angel
It could be you, although I'd take a chance on just about anyone

I have flown through clouds of ash
I have tasted the grass and its not sweeter
On this side or the other
Gotta reach up another level
Dont want to be touched by the devil
Please dont stray from me my guardian angel

Hanging from a thread
Spun by a spider since long dead
Its up another level waiting to be released
And this waiting game will finally cease

At My Weakest

I'll let you near me
When I'm at my weakest
I'll let you near mew
When life's at its most bleakest
Because if you are to love me
You need to see me at my lowest
See if you can handle it
If the realities sour the dream

I'll let you closer than anyone before
When I have everything and more
When I am at the end of my rope
Theres more than 100 ft left below
Will you reach out to pull me to safety
Or are you going to release me so sweetly

At my weakest
Thats what you need to see
Down on my knees
Will you handle the pleas?
I can bruise and hurt
Just like anyone
If you want me complelty
Then you have to see more deeper
Everything my pride
Nothing to hide


I'll confess all my mistakes
The one's I'll be most judged for
Judgement day will see my fate declared
But in the life I'll let you decide
At my weakest, when life is bleakest
You will see everything that I fear the most
I cannot place someone in my heart
If they cant accept what tears me apart
I can feel so weak at times
Even the light sometimes dies

You will see all that I am
You will find no other man
That I pretend to be
Nothing hidden from what you see
At my weakest, at my most bleakest
On my knees asking for forgiveness
Because you sin when you dont feel your weak
Feel the strength of admitting your weak

Feel the Rain

All the drugs in the world you depend
To make all happen that you intend
Theres nothing true for what your about to confess
You even lie about living at the wrong address
Its time you stopped being so naked and get dressed
What your wearing, is that really your best
So many nights, lonliness is your name
Change the chapter your reading but its still the same
No shelter and it feels like rain

Did you have an amazing time
Was the music too loud when the clock had to chime
Outside your gonna need more than an umbrella
You gonna look worse than cinderella
Your lifes a car crash, such a wreck
Dissappear soon like a speck
Suspect its going like your life, feels like rain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Did you forget the pain
Because it wont forget your name
I never pretended to care
Because I aint gonna break your fall
Feels like rain
Tonight its never gonna stop
Its gonna flood your world apart

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Break the chain
Break the chain
Feels like rain

Your hopes are fading fast
Fame and fortune never lasts
Gonna be washed out
Tonight it feels like rain

Deal the pain
Deal the pain
Feel the rain

How you wished life could be silent
Stay and home, praying so devouant
Too late to change the fate
Tonights so dark you cant see the clouds
Gonna wash away, feels like rain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

You'll be there sitting in wet clothes
Catching the death of a cold
While the whole world laughs at you
Like you laughed when you was on top of the world
Destiny has a surprise in store
The seasons gonna change so soon
Winter will make paradise feel like a tomb
While your drowing
Throw the towel in

Feel the rain
Got water on the brain
Even if the rain ever ends
The clouds gonna stalk
So you better believe
Feel the rain to wash away the sin

Feel the rain
Feel the rain
Feel the rain

Deal the pain
Deal the pain
Deal the pain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Always Kiss You Goodnight

Good days, bad days
Stress days, eternity days
Worry days, ache days
No matter how bad it’s been
Tomorrow is yours to take
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight

If your day lost the meaning of happiness
I’ll repair with the meaning of loving ness
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
The medicine you need
To forget that’s been

Something you never want to face again
Let tomorrow find you in a Better place
Let tomorrow arrive
Let tomorrow shine
Leave yesterday behind
For I did

Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
My lips remove
The thorn in your side

Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Yesterday we’ll leave with the fall leaves
And pile them high to plant tomorrows seed

Late Last Night

Late yesterday night 
I saw a light shine from a window 
And as I looked again 
Your face came into sight 

I couldn't walk on 
Until you'd gone from your window 
I had to make you mine 
I knew you were the one 

Oh, I would be glad 
Just to have a love like that 
Oh, I would be true 
And I'd live my life for you 

So meet me tonight 
Just where the light shines from our window 
And as I take your hand 
Say that you'll be mine tonight 

Oh, I would be so glad 
Just to have a love like that 
Oh, I would be true 
And I'd give my life for you 

So meet me tonight 
Just where the light shines from our window 
And as I take your hand 
Say that you'll be mine tonight

White Star Nights

Waited all day but no hours passed where I felt you
Afraid I lost the touch that you only said warmed you
So tonight I'm gonna wish, In fact pray for my life
That this is a white star night

A white star night where every dream I ever concieved in my heart
Come rushing like a bullet in sight
A white star night that brings you and me alive
A white star night to illuminate our eyes into space

Its coming along, Its slow but steady
But sometimes fate isnt ready 
To show its hand so we make the best of what we got
My white star nights are why I'm sleeping in the day

White star nights, everythings alright
I dont care about any one else
Because In my heart no one is in this space

Honestly

Straightforward it’s all in the open
Across my heart
There’s. no telling truth and honesty apart
I’ve been hurt
I’ve be held
In sin and the highest regard

All that matters
Is you read my letters
And know I don’t have it in my heart
To lie to you
Honestly I love you
Time comes and time passes
I don’t know what else to feel
Just tell you what is making me happy
And why can I never feel worry

I love you and I’m saying it honesty
I love you and I’m saying it honestly
Never will cross you
Will always honor you

It feels impartial, authentic and direct
And there’s nothing else you should expect
I’m feel everything so honestly
Giving it to you slowly

There’s nothing else on my mind
Except making sure you stay mine
I’m gonna do exactly what I say
Never gonna let you slip away
Honestly we will never find another love
That can ever have the same depth or strength

I love you honestly
I love you honesty
I’m gonna do exactly what I say
Never gonna let you slip away

Honestly we will never find another love
That can ever have the same depth or strength
I love you honestly
I love you honesty
I love you honestly
I love you honestly

Merrily Round We Go

Its a revolving door
Its a Spirit turning into a Christmas store
We aren't satisfied, we aren't longing to stay long

You can hide behind the settee
When the monsters come on the TV
But when you leave a space in my heart
Spinning in my room, head hitting the ceiling

Merrily we go round
I dont want to get off this ride
Its not stopping all night so hold to me tight

Merrily we go round
Round we merrily go

You turn heads and I twist arms
You know your reaching dizzy heights
Your being lazy but you make no one sigh

Its just a letter stuffed in an envelope
With a cheque hidden between pages one and two
You know we're gonna be alright
The rent is only 3 months late

Merrily we go round
Round we merrily go
Into the unknown
I'll always say yes
Like your holding to my head a gun

Merrily we go round
I dont want to get off this ride
Its not stopping all night so hold to me tight

Merrily we go round
Round we merrily go
I'm so dizzy on my feet
Feels like when you kiss me so sweetl

Never Sent Letters

Never sent, words I should have said
Never sent, things about you I missed so much
Never sent, revealing why I need you close
Never sent, regrets I never told you everything
Never sent, thoughts that break me down
Never sent, this world is dark without you around

Never sent letters, my hands just cant handle writing out these words
That my hearts longing to flood out to capture your heart

Never sent, arriving in the night
Never sent, its 3 feet of snow outside
Never sent, your cold alone in your bed
Never sent, throwing up pebbles on your window
Never sent, you often ask yourself why
Never sent, how do you face every single lonely day

Never sent letters, I gotta tell it to your face
So I can read the reaction so true that its gonna pour out of you

Never sent letters
Words only sound sweeter
When I tell it to you 
Face to face

Never sent letters
Never sent letters
Never sent letters
Never sent letters
