WHEN ITS REAL IT GLOWS

UNFAMILIAR 

ALWAYS ON YOUR TOES

YOU NEVER KNOW

WHAT'S NEXT

TO OVERTHINK IT 

IS TO COME OUT PERPLEXED  

 

WHEN ITS REAL

ITS CHARMED

LOVE IS NOT

DOING ANY HARM

FROM LOW

TO WAY UP HIGH

LOOK REAL CLOSE

YOU CAN SEE IT FLY

 

DAYS ON END

IN THE SUN WITH YOU

IS ALL I EVER

LOOKED FORWARD TO

REAL, DEAL, I FEEL

COMPLETE

WHEN EVERYTHING IS SO HEAVY

REAL LOVE IS LIGHT

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH IT

ONCE IT TAKES FLIGHT 

 

LIKE THE STARS

 AS THEY SHINE 

I HAVE TO

MAKE YOU MINE

SO LONG AS ITS REAL

EASY EVER DONE

OUT THERE IN THE SUN

HOW MUCH

HOW LITTLE 

TIME

 

WILL YOU STAY

 

WILL YOU STAY

WHEN DAYS GET SHORT

AND NIGHTS GET LONG

THE WIND IS COLD

THE WIND IS STRONG

WHO'LL BE THERE

WHO WILL CARE ENOUGH

IF I'M WARM

 

STARS

ENDLESS SKIES

THE MOON

THE CLOUDS

THAT CRY ICY TEARS

THEY ALWAYS

SEEM TO FIND ME

WHEN THE SUN

GOES MISSING

FOR DAYS

WILL YOU BE THERE

WILL YOU STAY

WILL YOU BE

ONLY MINE

 

SEE THE SUN RISE

ON THE SPRING

AND ANYTHING 

THAT YOU COULD SAY

I HAVE TO KNOW

HOW YOU FEEL

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

I CAN'T SEEM TO TOUCH

CAN'T SEEM TO REACH

FEW AND FAR

SOME OF EACH 

 

 

INSIDE

ITS EASY TO GET LOST

IN TIMES WE HAD

SO MANY GOOD

BUT SOME WERE WERE BAD

WE WERE FREE

WITHOUT KNOWING

THOUGHT WE

OWNED OUR TIME

NEVER STOPPING

OWNING UP TO CRIME

 

EACH NEW DAY

THE SUN DID SHINE

WE EMBRACED THE CHANGES 

WE TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE

TESTING OURSELVES

TO SEE INSIDE 

SO MANY HELLOS 

SO MANY GOODBYES

LIFE SIMPLIFIED

 

SEEMS THAT WE WAITED

FOR SO LONG

WOKE UP ONE DAY

AND IT WAS ALL GONE

WING IT AWAY

OR STAY

I REACHED FOR THE UNKNOWN

THE NEW

HARDLY MADE IT THROUGH

 

WHAT MADE IT ALL WORTHWHILE

WAS FINDING YOU

WHEN I HOLD YOU TIGHT

EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT

ITS NEVER FAR TO GO

TO PLEASE YOUR HEART

 AND YOUR SOUL 

CHASING UP THE SUN

 

CHASING UP THE SUN

DARK NOW THE PLACES

WE USED TO GO

LOCKED AND SHUTTERED

BRACED AND WAITING

FOR THE SNOW

LIKE A DEAR LOST FRIEND

OUT THERE TIL THE END

THE LIGHT

ONLY BENDS SO FAR

BEFORE IT BREAKS

THE SHADOWS

IT CREATES

 

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE LINES

A STORY

AS OLD AS TIME

TIL WE GROW SO OLD

WE CAN'T GO

SITTING BY THE FIRES GLOW

REFLECTED IN OUR EYES

AND THE YOUTH THAT FLEW BY

CHASING UP THE SUN

BENEATH THE GREAT WIDE BLUE

 

YOU THINK YOU'RE THERE

BUT THE END WAS MOVED

HOW MUCH MORE TO PROVE

WAITING STILL YET AGAIN

SOMEWHERE NEAR THE BEGINNING 

OR CLOSER TO THE END

ALL OF IT

EVERY BIT OF YOUR LOVE THAT

YOU CAN SEND

CHASING UP THE SUN

IT NEVER ENDS

ALL GONE BLOWN AWAY

ANOTHER PAST

ANOTHER DAY

NO MATTER HOW MUCH

WE WISH

 IT GOES AWAY

SUMMERS GONE 

HIGH FIVE GOODBYE

SEE THE SUN GET SHY

MILES AND MILES

OF DARKENED SKIES

APPROACHING SIN

THE WALLS SOON BE CLOSING IN

 STILL HAVE TO GO

IN THE COLD AND SNOW

 

SHIVER

MY RESOLVE BEGINS TO CRACK

HOME BY THE FIRE

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE THERE

SHIVER

I CAN'T LET GO

WINTERS ICY SHOW

SURROUNDS ME

SHIVER

COLD AND BLUE

WHAT MUST I DO

TO GET BACK TO

THE SUN

 

ONCE IT GETS STARTED

IT CAN'T BE

UNDONE 

NO MERCY FROM THE COLD WINDS

 BLOWING

HOW SHY THE SUN

HOW GRAY THE SKY

HOW COLD ARE YOU

HOW COLD AM I

 

 

STEP

 

STEP

WHEN YOU GET SO RESTLESS

THAT YOU'VE GOT TO GO

IT SEEMS LIKE TIMES MOVING

WAY TOO SLOW

OUT THERE IN THE WIND

GOING TILL I FEEL

SOMETHING

WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE

EMBRACE IT WITH ALL

AND EVERYTHING 

TAKE IT WITH YOU

HOLD IT ON DISPLAY

WITH A SMILE

AND A LOOK THAT KILLS

STEP AWAY

FROM A BATTLE OF WILLS 

 

COME HERE

INTO THE LIGHT

STEP INTO THE PEACE

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT

UNTIL ITS RIGHT

THERE'S NO NEED

TO MAKE A POINT

HAVE A BEER

AND ANOTHER JOINT 

 

THERE'S NO ONE TO IMPRESS

PICK UP YOURSELF

JUST DO YOUR BEST

RELAX ITS NOT A TEST

ITS LIFE

ONE DAY AT A TIME

YOU LIVE YOURS

AND I'LL LIVE MINE

PICK ME FOR SURE

DON'T LEAVE ME

ON THE VINE

THE AUTUMN STARS

LIGHT THE SKY

THEY TAKE ME

TO A PLACE

WHERE I'M NOT SURE

COLDER BY THE DAY

COLDER IN THE NIGHT

THERE'S NOT MANY CHOICES

SO YA BETTER GET IT RIGHT 

 

THEN THE SNOW

JUST BARELY 

MAKE IT THROUGH

I'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN

MORE THAN I KNEW

 MY WISH FOR YOU AND I

IS SIMPLE

OUR LOVE NEVER DIES

ALL GOES QUIET

HOLDS BACK

NO MORE TRIES

 

ALL OF THE SNOW

WISH WE COULD GO

SOMEWHERE THE SUN STAYS

AND NEVER GOES

BACK TO START ITS BEST

AUTUMN STARS STILL SHINE

JUST WHEN YOU

GET IT TOGETHER

IT ALL STARTS TO UNWIND

I HAVE TO GIVE MY THANKS

ITS ALL BEEN FINE
