"Touch Of Heaven"

   
Your eyes burn through me,
Oh, like a raging fire.
I fall blissfully,
Everytime you say just one little word.
You know it makes me crazy.
You ask way too much,
Oh, when you say that I can look but do not touch.
I have never wanted any other girl
The way I want you, baby.
I surrender to what I can't control.
Drunk with desire, I've opened up my soul.

[Chorus:]
You know I would go around the world,
I'd take you anywhere,
Oh, baby anywhere,
For a touch of heaven.
Tell me what you want, I'll give you anything,
Oh, baby everything,
For a touch of heaven.

I have dreamed of this,
Your body next to mine,
Drowning in every kiss.
How I've longed to find my one and only girl,
And I found her in you, baby.
All I ever wanted is everything that you are.
Don't leave me longing,
Be tender with my heart.

[Chorus]

Everyone says you've been leading me on.
Too late for warnings, I'm already gone.
Ooh, I surrender to what I can't control.
Drunk with desire,
I'm giving you my soul.

[Chorus]

"What's The Story"

   
No needles, no rehab
No minors, no murder rap
Where's that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
If al that sells is tragedy I haven't got a prayer

Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track
Just to say I took the fall but "look who's comin' back"

What's the story, where's the dirt
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want t keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Normal childhood, beautiful wife
'Scuse me having a wonderful life
Why should I be hungry for someone else's pain
Heroes should have something but talent for fame
Double barrel in the mouth nails it every time
But that's what legend's all about
Ain't no bigger headline

What's the story, where's the dirt
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat
Maybe I should frequent all the places that I'm avoiding
And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying

If this is making friends, I'd rather be lonely
So where's that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
I may never make page three but ask me if I care

What's the story, where's the dirt
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

"Can't Lie To My Heart"

   
I whispered you
Words I thought I'd never say.
We played the game,
But then we tossed the rules away.
Could deny it
Justify it,
But we both know that we went too far.
Oh, I can feel you,
And I need you,
No matter wherever you are.

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down,
But I can't lie to my heart.
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round.
But baby, I just can't lie to my heart.

I have loved you
Longer than you've even known.
When you hurt, I hurt.
I'm your flesh, and you're my bone.
If I could only
Be two people,
Darlin', I swear we'd both be with you.
Oh, I know I'm selfish,
But I'm helpless.
I want you, and nothing else will do!

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down,
But I can't lie to my heart.
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round,
Rippin' me right apart.

I won't pretend anymore.
Been hiding too long.
I won't go on like before.
I'm not that strong!

[Guitar Interlude]

Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you.
It's not healthy to need you this way.
Try to fight it, get inside it,
But this pain is stronger than me, and it won't go away!

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down,
But I can't lie to my heart.
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round,
Rippin' me right apart.

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down,
But I can't lie to my heart.
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round.
Not anymore!
I can't lie anymore!!
Baby, I can't. Baby, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Woah, woah. Woah.
No, baby, I just can't lie to my heart.

"Until I Find You Again"

   
Lately I've been trying
To fill up my days since you're gone.
The speed of love is blinding,
And I didn't know how to hold on.
My mind won't clear.
I'm out of tears.
My heart's got no room left inside.

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by,
Until I find you again?

Will the arms of hope surround me?
Will time be a fairweather friend?
Should I call out to angels,
Or just drink myself sober again?
I can't hide, it's true.
I still burn for you.
Your memory just won't let me go.

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by,
Until I find you again?

I'd hold you tighter,
Closer than ever before.
Yeah.
No flame would burn brighter,
If I could touch you once more,
Hold you once more!

[Guitar Interlude]

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by,
Till I find you again?
Till I find you again . . .

"My Confession"

   
Maybe you've noticed how I linger by the door,
Looking for ways to hang around.
I never felt my moment ever show itself before,
But I've got to speak or lose you now.

[Chorus:]
This is my confession.
I bare my soul to you.
This is my confession,
The one thing I can do.
How will I ever make you mine,
If you don't know that I'm alive?
I confess to you
My love for you.

He'll never say the words I've rehearsed a million times,
Or stop your tears before they fall.
He'll never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes.
His heart is barely there at all.

[Chorus]

I have always believed somehow
I'd be standing right here before you now,
Hoping the last breath I take,
I take in your arms.

[Chorus]

"Eternity"

   
I was born on the banks of Eternity,
A page of the history it teaches.
Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane,
Leaving everything along the way in pieces.

Some may have cheered, some may have wondered,
If I am flesh, if I am stone.
Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder.
You are the light that has led me back home.

Take me to the river, baby.
Wash away the lies.
I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
Take me to Eternity.
Let me bury this disguise.

A Southern boy has it harder sometimes.
It's like you were climbing a razor.
You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust,
And the man in the mirror was a stranger.

Look at me now, a soulless survivor.
No mask can hide the man that I've made.
You ease my pain. You make it silent.
Slowly I feel it beginning to fade.

Take me to the river, baby.
Wash away the lies.
I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
Take me to Eternity.
Let me bury this disguise.

I want to feel it,
Rushing over me into the tide.
I want to taste it,
Every moment 'til the end of my life!

[Guitar Interlude]

I have laid still, adrift in your memory,
Hoping your faith would erase all the years.
Maybe some time, maybe some magic,
Maybe your love will make everything clear.

Take me to the river, baby.
Wash away the lies.
I've got no reputation living in your eyes.
Take me to Eternity.
Let me bury this disguise.

Take me to the river, baby.
Wash away the lies.
There are no expectations hiding in your eyes.
Take me to Eternity.
Let me bury this . . . disguise.

"What's Wrong With That"

   
I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know I'm not the first to see
I guarantee I'm not the last
So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice

(Live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I don't like the other choice
(Live it up, live it up)

[Chorus:]
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with the fountain of youth
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a little self delusion
Who you think is foolin' who

And who will be the last to laugh
Here's another lame excuse
You're old enough to be her dad
I've heard all the reasons why

(Give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(Give it up, give it up)

What's wrong with that
What's wrong with the fountain of youth
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a little self delusion
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a flower in bloom
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a little self delusion

Days don't hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I can't wait around to satisfy you

[Chorus]

"The Image"

   
Hope you don't believe a word
Of all the things I know you've heard about me
Really just a pack of ies
You see the truth before your eyes around me
Hard to keep it straight
The real from the ruse
Probably way too late

What can I do, but it's
Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image
It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me

It's just the image
Would it be too much to ask
That you could just gvie me the chance to prove it
Or would it only be a waste of time
To try to make you change your mind and use it
What I've been looking for
Isn't what I thought
Not behind the golden door
You're all I've got, and it's
Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see

It's just the image
It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image
What I've been looking for
Isn't what I thought
Not behind the golden door
You're all I've got, and it's
Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
Just the image

It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image
Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image
It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image

"Breathless"

   
Never knew love before.
Never dreamed there could be something more.
Felt my heart overflow
With the danger of needing you so.
It's a mystery I can't explain,
But I shiver when I hear your name.

[Chorus:]
You are the fire,
Every desire.
Breathless we fall in love.
Love is the answer,
We are the dancers.
Breathless we fall in love,
We fall in love.

You've crept into my soul,
And I'm ready to lose all control,
Let our hearts fill with light.
Every movement you make is so right.
It's a mystery I can't explain,
But I shiver when I hear your name.

No need to worry,
No need to hurry.
Breathless we fall in love.
Love is the answer,
We are the dancers.
Breathless we fall in love.
We fall in love.

[Sax interlude]

It's a mystery I can't explain,
But I shiver when I hear your name.

[Chorus]

"Miracle"

   
It's hard to see reason
When there's so little hope alive,
But this is the season
To put faith in innocent eyes.
We're all thinking too much,
We're so out of touch.
We need to start over again.
So just let it wander,
'Cause you're never too old to pretend.

[Chorus:]
Tell you, just a little miracle
Is all you need to believe
Just a little miracle
Is all you need to believe.

It's not too late to wake up.
Don't make no difference who you are.
Just take off your make-up,
And discover the child in your heart.

[Chorus]

We're all thinking too much,
We're so out of touch.
We need to start over again.
So just let it wander
'Cause you're never too old to pretend.

[Chorus]
