Flash Flood 2
03:31

Here they come
Floating past my window
Knocking on my door
Inviting me in to their world
I am safe, safe from it all
It’s sick
The way you roll around for them
The way you pant
Jump a little higher
The heat’s bouncing off the sidewalk
Bouncing around my walls
Trying to burn me
Trying to warn me
Trying to save me from the flash flood
It’s sick
The way you roll around for them
The way you pant
Jump a little higher
Maybe you’ll snatch what they want you to
What you don’t want to do
But I am safe from it all

Unfinished Love
03:28
|
|

Let’s rewind the time
To when I first caught your eye
You were a perfect piece of heaven
Fallen from the sky
You’re my … You’re my unfinished love
Don’t count me out just yet
Why you talked to me
I really don’t know why
But it led to all we had
Now we don’t have the time
Let’s stop the clock for a minute
So we can catch our breath
Let’s find what we’ve been missing
Maybe we’ve still got a chance
You’re my … You’re my unfinished love
It looks like I’ve given up
Don’t count me out just yet
Just give me one more chance
Let’s stop to catch our breath
After all that we’ve been through
Don’t count me out just yet
You’re my … You’re my unfinished love
Why you called me back
I really don’t know why
After all that we’ve been through
I’ll give it one more try.

The Walk
03:37
|
|||
|
I’m walking this road
And I don’t know exactly where it will go
It keeps on taking me out of control
It’s a hard road to be all on your own
I’m following you
No matter where it leads I’m trusting in you
Until I look away and lose sight of you
I get distracted by the world that I knew
Another storm is coming on strong
And like a wave it wants to swallow me up
Dragging me out, away from all that I love
Trying to drown me while I’m down on my luck
You’re just waiting for me to ask
Save me
Save me
You never left
You’re just waiting for me to ask
Save me

You Gave Me Love
04:04
|
|||
|
Give me one reason to call your name
Tell me why you came back to be with me
Show me why it matters that I go on
Help me understand where I belong
You gave me Love
Give me one more chance to do it right
Let me try to mend my broken life
Help me navigate this path I’m on
Tell me what I’m doing all this for
You gave me Love
Let me give you back what I’ve received
I want to be the man that I should be
I’m going to walk a line that’s clear to see
Show others what you gave to me
You gave me Love
You gave me simplicity
You gave me what I didn’t know I’d need
You gave it all to me
You gave me Love

Missing You
03:38
|
|||
|
Every single moment that I see your face I know that you are with me now.
Even though you’re miles away
When my memory serves up moments that make me realize I miss you now.
The world just fades away
I’m missing you before you’re gone
Before I know the final outcome
I’m not afraid to die but I’m afraid of loss
I can’t let go, because I love you too much
Give me one more second without distractions and let me just remember how
You were always there for me.
While the world turns and time moves on and I begin to finally realize
That time is running out for us!
I’m missing you before you’re gone
Before I know the final outcome
I’m not afraid to die but I’m afraid of loss
I can’t let go, because I love you too much

Lost Art
03:58
|
|||
|
I am Your art
I am Your woven tapestry
I am Your sculpture in the sand
I am the clay in Your hands
This is my art
The art You gave to me
This is my art
I give it back to You
In a song
I am a broken monument
Meant to stand to something more
But in this ghastly state
I am quietly ignored
I am a masterpiece, a work of art
Stolen during war and lost
But when I’m finally re-discovered
You take me home to where I belong
This is my art, in a song
This is my art, in a song for You
This is my art, for You.
In a song
I give it back to You, I give it back to You in a song
I give it back to You, I give my all to You in a song
I give it all to You, I want to give this song to You
Yeah give this song to you, I want to give it all to you
This is my art, from You!
This is my art, I write this song to You
This is my art, from You!
In a song

Don't Come Back
03:18
|
|
||
|
Long drawn out pain
Echoing in my memory
These words remind me
Of something I don't want to be
Silly and incomplete
It's all that I'll amount to be
But pain is what I know
It's had it's share of time in me
Don't come back
I remember how it use to be
Don’t come back
You’ll bring home all my old enemies
Don’t come back
Angry, biting words
It hurts me just to see them again
Months pass by
As the pages turn, it never ends
How did I survive?
I know it cost almost everything
But here I stand
Against all odds, against the pain
Don’t come back
I remember how it use to be
Don’t come back
You’ll bring home all my old enemies
Don’t come back
It’s been awhile … since I tore her down
I’d given up … even on myself
Long drawn out pain … how did I survive?
But here I stand … here I stand.
Don’t come back.

To You
03:38
|
|||
|
Looking for a song
That means more to you
Something that I want to say
Rather what I need to say
To you.
Sifting through my broken words
Looking for a touching verse
Thinking of the pledge I made
To you.
I think I’m looking way too hard
When all I need to give is love
You never wanted more from me
I’m singing to you
Empty and alone
Was the life I knew
Wallowing in loneliness
Looking for the love I found
In you.
Thinking back on memories
Laying down in empty streets
And through it all I can’t believe
That I found you.
I don’t believe in luck
And I don’t believe in fate
And I want you just to know
That I choose you.
I’m singing to you.

You Matter to Me (remix)
03:50
|
|
||
|
You matter to me
Misunderstood
Misrepresented
Misproclaimed
Mistranslated
Nobody follows
Nobody reads
Nobody listens
No one believes
Simple promises
Simple words
Uncomplicated
Love that is pure
I’m not alone
I don’t want to be
I want them to know
One simple name
Jesus
You matter to me

Hit the Sky
03:42
|
|
||
|
Please quiet
Don’t tell me what I know
Everybody knows
And everything is in my head
Don’t put me down
I can’t stand to be on the ground
But I’m broken
And nobody needs a broken boy
To love
Please love me
Someday
I’ll tell you what I know
I’ll tell you I can’t change alone
I’m nothing without you
Holding me down
From flying away
And hitting the sky
Like a firecracker
Blowing away from the earth
It hates so much
Because of the devil it is
And the tricks it plays
On a weak little mind
That only wants to love you
But if you must
Goodbye.

Coronation revisited
02:52
|

|
The softest sound
Sweet and serene
Play me a song
Put me to sleep
Loving hands
Play the ivory keys
Bring forth a song
For my memory
In soothing notes
I drift away
I hear her song
She’ll always stay
Play me a song
Sooth my soul
I’d love to hear
You play once more
You’ll never depart
A mother’s love is strong
Your song plays on
Inside my heart

Running Away
05:13
|
|
||
|
I see your ghost in the crowd
It’s all straight from a dream
I see your ghost on a seat in the train
Always looking at me
I see your ghost everywhere
Always catching my eye
As if it isn’t hard enough
To let you die
Running away
Trying to stay away
I’m running away
I’m always trying to get away
Why’d you come back?
It’s not like I had begun
To forget your face
To forget your love
Why’d you appear
On that day?
When you should know how hard it is
For me to get away
Running away
From what I cannot avoid
I’m losing you again and again
I’m feeling all alone
While I am left to dream
Of you on the train
Always looking at me … always reminding me …
That I’m running away
I’m trying to stay away
I’m running away
I’m always trying to get away
I’m always trying to get away
Trying to get away from me
Trying to guarantee I’m free
I’m always trying to get away
Running away.
