By all means

In a dream I saw you running back to me in tears
And I was speechless
Very carefully I searched your eyes, those big green eyes
For anything to let me know how you feel

By all means guard your heart, it's yours to give away
I'm still waiting, I'm still making sure, that this is how the story's going to end
Even though you appear so strong, I know you're not

When I awoke from my dream you were gone again
My head was spinning and my lungs caved in
Your words were strong like arms around my chest or rocks falling from your lips
How did three years end like this? Oh no

I'd understand if you need time alone
But you're not alone
You're with him

Close your eyes

The air my lungs require surrounds me
And all I have to do is breathe
In the same way your spirit envelops me
Come envelop me
Come take over me

Close your eyes
Then we'll start to see
You shut them tight
Now we can believe

There is no distance between us
(I can see you now)
And you don't answer to time
But you seem galaxies away from me
And I spend my whole life looking for a sign

Close your eyes
Then we'll start to see
Shut them tight
Now we can believe

It's taken me so long
To find out where you are
You live in me

Caught up in my body
You won't find me there
You can't touch my thoughts
You can't touch my dreams
Cause they're not there

We need you
We can't see you
We know you're there
Just like the air

Close your eyes
Then we'll start to see
Shut them tight
Now we can believe

It's taken me so long
It's taken me so long
It's taken me so long to find you whoa
We know you're there
Just like the air

Eat them while they are blue


Look at what you did
If they only knew who you were on the weekend

And all the guilt, and all the lies, and all the shame, and all the pain
He can take that away

You don't have to live that way, you don't have to be that man
He can take that away

I just wish I wouldn't try to win this war
And come to you for help, I know you've been through this before
It's time like these we find out who our loved ones really are
And you haven't let me down so far

Falls apart



I'm no stranger to the way things work out
When you try so hard to make it on your own
And I'm familiar with the way things fall down
When you want it so bad and no one even cares

It falls apart
Everything I built inside my dreams
Falls apart
Crawl across the floor
Picking up the pieces of my heart

I still want to be the best at one thing
Instead of okay at just a few things
And I'm familiar with the way things fall down
When you want it so bad and no one even cares

You told me that you'd meet me there
You told me that I wouldn't follow you
And everything I built inside my dreams seemed to fade away
It takes away my pain

Fear of heights



Convictions as strong as they are it's over when I exhale
Could I sing if know one heard me?
Would I pray if no one asked me to?
Could I love if no one loved?

We fly, we fly on the wings of love tonight
On the wings of love tonight
To know that You're still in control
And I'm right where I belong
I've been here along
On the wings of love

How can I fly when I wasn't given wings
All You gave me was fear of heights
But if something doesn't change now
If things keep going on this way
I'll run away

February



All at once everything has changed, everything is still the same
If you look closer you will find the reasoning behind my efforts to please you
And how they're aimed at pleasing me
As hard as I try to be perfect
You just need me to be myself

When I told you I was ready I'm not so sure that I thought this whole thing through
But if I hesitate much longer I'll never move, and I have no more days to lose

I think its time we stop keeping score
And start doing more for the man on the side of the road
Then maybe we will find the reasoning behind the good news that you left us
I've kept it all to myself

I'll build a ladder



I want to know what its like to be on your side of this
How does it feel to be loved by someone else, regardless?

You don't deserve this, You haven't earned this
But this love keeps no record of wrong
If that's what you call this, is that what you call this?
Why can't I just move on?

I'm a fool for you, and I don't want to be
I'm tired of building ladders through the night
I'm a fool for you, and I don't want to be
But part of me has to know what's inside

I can prove to you
You're worth so much more
And everything inside of you is worth fighting for

So I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and you won't care
And I'll climb and I'll climb and I'll climb and you won't be there

When I finally reach the top,
pray I have the courage to climb back down

I want to know what its like to be on your side of this
How does it feel to be loved by someone else, regardless?

Minutes



If you're not a liar then convince me otherwise
Look into these eyes and tell me that what you did tonight
Was not intentional

Cause I'm starving for your attention and I'm begging for your approval
I can only take so much of being number two

So I'll call you again and I'll hope that you pick up this time
I'm tired of standing here in line behind everything that matters to you

It's been awhile since we've spent time alone
You've been trying so hard to impress the people you don't know

Cause you're starving for their attention and you're begging for their approval
They might say they love you, but tomorrow they'll be gone

Patience



Lord give me patience and give it to me now
Cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
And I can't see a thing

When will we just learn to get along?
I've been doing some thinking and honesty may not be what we need
You don't have to speak your mind
We can make it if we try, cause no one has to win this time

We've taken advantage of all of our weakness
We know just what to say
And we're quick to remember and slow to forgive
It's killing us, it's killing us

The earth falls deep



Can anyone tell me how, how we learn to live with ourselves
I?ve been forgiven, things only god knows
but I can?t forgive myself
and after all my searching I found who I am and it?s not what I wanted
but I?m here now and I'm broken come save me from this hell

The earth falls asleep much too early for me
I close my eyes but I can?t rest, my body is tired
my mind is running from the past to the east to the west
trying to find the blame you?ve already taken from me

can anyone tell me how, how we learn to live with ourselves
I?ve been forgiven things only god knows
but I can?t forgive myself
and after all of my searching I found who I am and it?s not what I wanted
but I?m here now and I?m broken come save me from this hell

I?m convinced that the world that we see is a curtain, behind which vast realms await us
of uncharted marvels in oceans of mercy inside my father?s eyes
and the mountains are grand stands that sheets of blue skies rest upon
pealed back with ease by yours hands to reveal a glory I?ve never dreamed

can anyone tell me how, how we learn to live with ourselves
I?ve been forgiven, things only god knows but I can?t forgive myself
after all of my searching I found who I am and it?s not what I wanted
but I?m here now and I?m broken?
I want to pay for the things I?ve done
the people I?ve hurt, get what I deserve
but you won?t let me, no, you won?t let me
my hope is in the unseenx2
my hope is in the unseen cause I see no hope in me
