Always For YouYou were drowning
And I picked you up and set you free,
I was fading
And you breathed the life back into me,
Can I be sure
This is what I've been looking for
Cuz I'm dying to meet you
Cancelling Christmas This YearYou're gone for the holidays though you're back next year
I just don't like being without you
I'm canceling Christmas this year
I'm not buying a Christmas tree
I won't be spreading some cheer
I won't be hanging up twinkling lights
I'm canceling Christmas this year
CarefulIt's the little things
They pulled me in and I'm defenceless
I try to ignore like I've done before but it's just useless
I've made up my mind that I'm gonna let you in
And I'm not afraid but I have to say
This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
Coffee And CigarettesI gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday
I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
FallingI'm shaking down to my boots
I've loosened all those sturdy roots that kept me grounded
my knees are buckling
I try to take a step but I cannot feel my feet
and with your weight you suffocate
I cannot help but breathe you in
and with your size I'm paralyzed
I find myself--find myself falling
Go On My ChildDon't hang your head low 'cause I can't see your face
in your reflection I see your beauty embrace
and when the light shines bright to show you your way
do not be weary don't turn your head away
so let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes
and let their tongues do their judging and criticize
and you just sit here before us and reveal your life
God Bless The ChildGod bless the child who can't find their way home
God bless the child who is weary and so
Oh
Beware to take care of yourself
Or you'll lack the strength to help somebody else
God bless the child who is broken and bruised
Good To Be AliveThe world is beautiful outisde my window pane
All the sunshine has chased away the rain
I guess it's time to take a step outside 'cause
Oh
It sure feels good to be alive
The clouds are gone and all I see is sun
(Ooh)
Hello I need youDo you have any idea
Who I am
While I smoke this cigarette
My head is hidden in my hand
Do you have any idea
Who you are too
Did I not make myself clear
I SaidAll these stars around
Let them shine on down
Shine all over you
The future isn’t planned
Now I understand
What you are going through
But, how not to feel?
Look in my eyesWhat did you think I'd do
Just sit here waiting and pine for you
What did you think I'd say when you were the one who just walked away
Oh
Don't look so surprised that I've washed you out with the tears I've cried
Oh
I will make it clear that this is my life and you've no place here
Looking For LoveDid I bother you again?
Did I interrupt?
I only know how to pretend
With a small talk and such
Could you taste my nervousness?
Could you sense my fear?
My mouth feels dry and I confess
Over youYou're just so good
my mind's so full of the lies you've been feeding
and I ate them up like I needed them to survive
I drank your words
but my body's been purged of their poison
that's oozing throughout all of my veins
now I'm clean and sober again
Running DownI can't leave the house
I can't get out of bed
I can't stop the tears running down my face again
I can't move an inch
I can't feel my legs and feet
I can't feel the rain running down my face again
StayIf I built a wall
A hundred feet tall
Would that keep you in?
If I shackled your feet
So you couldn't leave
Would you try and run?
Sweet Sweet BabySweet, sweet Baby
I said maybe
Maybe you should stay with me
Sweet, sweet Baby
I think maybe
Maybe you shouldn't leave
Sweet, sweet Baby
I go crazy
TrainYeah, I'll take the train, dear
and I'll meet you there
I'll cross oceans and deserts
as you fly into the air
yeah, I'll take the train, dear
though you'd much rather fly
I'll be speeding past the scenery
We Are Man And WifeAll the things you are to me
Darling you have set me free
I'll always give you what you need
And what you deserve
All the joy and all this love
I know that it is from above
And now together there's enough
To fill this world
