I've been needing you for the longest time I don't wanna wait anymore I wanna hear your voice each and every night I wanna see the face I adore With the world on my shoulders and my heart in your hand I hope you understand I wanna sing with you and dance with you I wanna take a chance with you I can't wait to call you mine Tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine Every word I've memorized I can't wait to call you mine I can't wait to call you mine I don't wanna say maybe anymore I wanna know for sure I'm a little crazy pacing around the floor I can't wait to stand outside your door With the world on my shoulders and your heart in my hand I hope you understand I wanna sing with you and dance with you I wanna take a chance with you I can't wait to call you mine Tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine Every word I've memorized I can't wait to call you mine Oh love, I can't wait to call you mine There's so much left to do But darling, there's nothing in this world that can keep me away from you I wanna sing with you and dance with you I wanna take a chance with you I can't wait to call you mine Tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine Every word I've memorized I can't wait to call you mine Oh, I can't wait to call you mine

Welcome to heartbreak Welcome to Heartbreak 101 Where the grass is green and the girls are mean in love Welcome to heartbreak Welcome to Heartbreak 101 Where the skies are blue and you find one new to love If you find yourself on the way down next to me Then we'll find the facts for the fantasies we believe Welcome to heartbreak Welcome to Heartbreak 101 Pack your bags and shoes, if you're gone I choose to stay When you find yourself on the way down next to me Then we'll find the facts for the fantasies we believe Ooh, no Heartbreak, heartbreak, love When the skies are blue and your mind's untrue, you're in love And you'll find yourself on the way down next to me And we'll find the facts for the fantasies we believe Ooh, no Heartbreak, heartbreak, oh

She's a mix of all the things I've dreamed of Makes me think of all the things I am She gets a fix of my secret and discreet love I'll make her fall just because I know I can I know this isn't what it is to feel love All this is is a mental breakdown She's electric like the alcohol in our blood We're going down every time she comes around Listen to the sound She's all the things I've dreamed of She's all the things I love The only one I care for The only one I trust My heart was feeling empty until she filled it up And now I'm feeling lucky, I know that she's the one (Oh I know that she's the one for me) I know that she's the one love (She's the only one I need) She's all the things I've dreamed of (Oh I know that she's the one for me) She's all the things I've dreamed of (She's the only thing I need)

Isn’t it crazy that I can’t relax right now She’s got me studying her Better get my facts right now She writes the letters that I’m reading in the morning She sings the words that are melting every bit of my heart And all i need is one sign of confirmation Cause all i see is the woman right in front of me Won’t you just relax Come and sit back We don’t have to move so fast right now Come into my arms In love for so long I don’t wanna miss this chance Put your hand in my hand For the first time Isn’t it crazy now How much i’m thinking of you We’re skipping out on class Just enjoying the view If i could find myself in your eyes I'd be halfway there You know what’s next is no surprise With the love that’s in the air And all i need Is one sign of confirmation Cause all i see Is the woman right in front of me Won’t you just relax Come and sit back We don’t have to move so fast right now Fall into my arms In love for so long I just wanna make this last With your breath on my skin My mouth on your lips Your heart in my hands For the first time

Moments 04:18
If there was something that could last For eternity without going bad I would think that it would be That first moment you stood in front of me Held your forehead to my lips Fingertip to fingertip A moment only we could live Cause they don’t have a clue If there was something I could find To make you mine for all the rest of time I would search the world to see It was the heart of the girl running next to me Held your forehead to my lips Fingertip to fingertip A moment only we could live Cause they don’t have a clue When I think of love I think of you And I thank God for leading me to All the stars in your eyes that shine brighter than the night And all the lights that saw us through When I think of love I think of you If there was someone I could choose All the signs I see point back to you And these moments serve to prove Every promise made was told in truth Held your forehead to my lips Fingertip to fingertip A moment only we could live Cause they don’t have a clue When I think of love I think of you And I thank God for leading me to All the stars in your eyes that shine brighter than the night And all the lights that saw us through When I think of love I think of you I think of you Only you When I think of love I think of you Yeah I thank God for leading me to All the stars in your eyes that shine brighter than the night And all the lights that saw us through When I think of love I think of you

Off Of You 04:14
December’s packing up its shoes Moving westward out of view And there’s nothing I can do To keep my fingers off of you February’s passing by Getting older on my mind Armor falls and arrows fly And it happens all the time There’s no turning back for us There’s no turning back at all They say dreams don’t turn to dust But a star still has to fall There’s no turning back for us There’s no turning back at all You say dreams don’t turn to dust But a star still has to fall There’s no turning back for us There’s no turning back at all You said dreams don’t turn to dust But this star's still going to fall down Down Down

On The Run 02:51
I’m on the run from a bad girl She’s out to turn my whole world upside down and around She’s prettier than a movie star The way she moves is so criminal, without a sound She’s got me thinking of destiny She’ll have her way with the rest of me if I’m not fast I’ll try to show her the best of me It’s got me feeling like ecstasy but it won’t last Just cause the stars align for us don’t mean we’ve got to fall in love My baby, she’s so good to me You’re not the one, why can’t you see? There’s nothing wrong with a little fun I’ll go to you when the day is done and we’ll be fine They’ll never hear about the things we do I’m in a world of just me and you and I’m not fine Just cause the stars align for us don’t mean we’ve got to fall in love My baby, she’s so good to me You’re not the one, why can’t you see? Just cause the stars align for us don’t mean we’ve got to fall in love My baby, she’s so good to me Why can’t I see? My baby, my baby My baby’s good to me My baby, my baby's My baby's good to me Oh no, no no no

You’re up to something, I don’t want this to go on If you’re up to something, I’ll be gone I don’t fight for nothing, it’s been written on my arms If you fight for nothing I’ll be gone So what’s going on? What’s going on? I hear you speaking when you’re sleeping in my arms You’re keeping secrets in the dark So I’ll be leaving as your reasons start to fall I fought for nothing after all What’s going on? What’s going on? What's going on? What’s going on, now? Oh what’s going on?

Fingertips 02:52
I’m seeing rainbows without the rain Everywhere she passes by And I’d love to sing her name Wonder if she’s got the time Lovers smile when they’re together Strangers meet just by chance Bet she’d smile if I was next to her What I’d give to hold her hand Oh but I don’t have so much No when all I’ve got is Cuts on my fingertips These cold, lonely hands Blood on these paper lips In anticipation of this sweet romance You could say that I’m chasing her Finding progress, sitting still But one day I’ll be face to face with her I’m gonna give it all I’ve got, you know I will Although I don’t have to much to give I know that one day I’ll be so much more than this Oh but all I’ve got is Cuts on my fingertips These cold, lonely hands Blood on these paper lips And anticipation of this sweet romance

I’m done with fighting for your hearts You should have known it from the start That I’m not the fool here, see I played that game before and beat it I’m not giving up my time no more, no more, oh (And when you need me I’ll be living it up far away from here) I don’t need to hear a word from you You promised that you’d give your all you never followed through I don’t need someone who won’t be there When the sun goes down I’m still the only one who cared But if you were someone I could trust I bet we’d be okay But now it’s much to late It sucks but we will never be the same But if you were someone I could trust I bet we’d be okay I tried to make this better but we’ll never be the same And now I’m done with looking back, I’m moving on today Already on my way to somewhere I can be more than a name

Change 03:53
I never wanted us to change But nothing ever stays the same I always said you were the one I never doubted you at all And now I know that we are done I wonder when the sky will fall I promised all that I could give You showed me all that I could want I found new places we could live You built a city in my heart Never change, I’ll ink your name under my skin To remind me of the mess you put me in When our faces age and wither from our troubles and our sin Never change, I’ll feel the same under my skin You’ll never hear me change my mind I think about our future all the time You’ll never know what we might find If you keep running from the light Never change, I’ll ink your name under my skin To remind me of the mess you put me in When our faces age and wither from our troubles and our sin Never change, I’ll feel the same under my skin Never change, I’ll ink your name under my skin To remind me of the mess you put me in When our faces age and wither from our troubles and our sin Never change, I’ll feel the same Oh please don’t change, we got it right now Don’t you change, I’ll feel the same under my skin
