NO ONES HAPPY

 

EVERYONE SEEMS SO SAD

 

DETACHED FROM

 

 THE LIFE THEY HAD

 

IS THERE A WAY

 

OUT OF THIS

 

A TIME TO SAY

 

ITS TIME TO GO

 

HURRY HURRY

 

DON'T BE LATE

 

COME ON BEFORE YOU

 

DON'T GET TO TRY

 

I CAN'T GO ON

 

LIVING A LIE

 

 

EXCUSE ME BUT

 

I CAN'T STAY

 

THE MORE DISTANCE

 

THAT I APPLY

 

THE FARTHER I GO

 

AWAY FROM THIS

 

PATHETIC SHOW

 

THE BETTER 

 

EVERYTHING WILL BE  

 

WHERE I CAN'T HEAR

 

THE LIES

 

 

NATURE NOURISHES ME

 

KEEPS ME ALIVE

 

ASLEEP BENEATH A TREE

 

I HAD A DREAM

 

SO CLEARLY DID I SEE

 

EVERYTHING

 

SEEMED LIKE

 

THE SUN WAS GONE

 

THE DARKNESS DEEPENED

 

ENOUGH TO

 

 PENETRATE YOUR SOUL

 

SEEMS LIKE IT ALL LET GO

 

 

ALL THE LIARS

 

 BURNED FOR LIGHT

 

NOW ITS ON

 

AND IT JUST MIGHT

 

KEEP ON BURNING

 

AS LONG AS WE KEEP

 

LEARNING FROM ALL THIS

 

KNOW THAT IGNORANCE

 

IS NOT SOME KIND OF BLISS

 

JUST AS LONG AS WE

 

KEEP ON DANCING

 

ON THE STARS

 

MOVE TO MEET EVIL

 

FACE TO FACE

 

DENY IT TIME AND SPACE 

 

LIARS BURNED FOR LIGHT 

IF YOU SAID IT ALL

 

IF YOU SAID IT ALL

WHEN DAYS COME TO PASS

 

NIGHTS GO ON FOREVER

 

HIDING FROM THE DAWN

 

THERE'S  YOU AND I 

 

FROM WAY DOWN LOW

 

TO WAY UP HIGH

 

A SWOLLEN MOON ALMOST FULL

 

HANGS THERE IN THE STARS

 

 

I WILL HOLD YOU UNTIL 

 

THE MORNING LIGHT

 

GETS INSIDE

 

IF YOU SAID IT ALL

 

IT GOES

 

TO STAY IN SILENCE

 

LOOKING FOR

 

SOME OTHER WAY

 

TO SHOW YOU THAT

 

I STILL KEEP YOU

 

IN MY HEART

 

I HATE WHEN WE ARE APART 

 

EACH DAY SO EMPTY

 

CANT SUSTAIN MY SOUL

 

MY GRIP IS SUCH

 

I FEEL LIKE I AM LETTING GO

 

 

CARRIED AWAY ON THE WIND

 

THE DAYS THE TIME WE CANNOT

 

GET BACK AGAIN

 

I CANNOT COME TO TERMS 

 

I DON'T WANT THIS

 

TO EVER END

 

I DON'T WANT  THIS

 

TO EVER END

 

YOU CALL ME AND

 

I AM ALWAYS THERE

 

A FIXED STARE 

 

TO MEET YOUR GAZE 

 

TIME STILL FADES AWAY

 

DOESN'T MATTER

 

WHAT YOU DO OR SAY

 

ITS STILL GONE

 

ITS WHAT I FOUND

 

OH HOW COULD I NOT SEE

 

YOUR LOVE STILL RISING

 

A TIDE IN THE SEA

 

IF YOU SAID IT ALL

 

IT GOES TO STAY IN SILENCE

 

LOOKING FOR

 

 SOME OTHER WAY  

ONE MORE SUN

 

ONE MORE SUN

FOLLOWED THE SUN

 

A LONG LONG WAY

 

WATCHED IT BURN

 

 INTO THE DUSK 

 

OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY

 

ITS A REQUISITE A MUST

 

FOUND MYSELF IN THE

 

TALL TREES

 

IT SURE FELT LIKE HOME

 

ALWAYS SEEMED A SHAME

 

WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE 

 

 

ALL THE CALLS 

 

I HAD TO MEET

 

STARTED OFF SO GOOD

 

THEN ENDED IN DEFEAT

 

ITS JUST LIFE 

 

PUSHING YOU AROUND 

 

DID I MAKE IT

 

SO IT CAN

 

IS THAT THE ONLY WAY

 

CUT ME DOWN

 

BEFORE I'M DONE

 

 

SO CLOSE TO FREE

 

BUT IT SEEMS SO FAR TO ME

 

ONE MORE SUN

 

BURNS INTO THE DUSK

 

ANOTHER SKY FULL OF STARS

 

A LOVERS MOON

 

COMES AND GOES

 

I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND

 

SOME THINGS I PLANNED

 

HID IN THE SHADOWS

 

TOO LONG

 

WAITING FOR THE SUNLIGHT

 

THAT NEVER CAME

 

RIGHT OR WRONG

 

IT RESTS RIGHT THERE

 

WITH THE FACTS

 

 

BUT TIME IS PASSING BY

 

AND EVERY TIME

 

 I THINK OF US 

 

I KNOW YOU FOLLOWED ME

 

TOOK MY LEAD

 

THAT'S REASON ENOUGH

 

TO BELIEVE

 

WE SHOULD KEEP ON GOING

 

GET THERE PROUD

 

FINISH STRONG

 

ONE MORE SUN BURNS

 

INTO THE DUSK

 

A BEAUTIFUL SKY

 

 

THE BELLS OF FREEDOM

 

THE BELLS OF FREEDOM

I FEEL SO HELPLESS LIKE

 

 THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO 

 

AS MUCH AS THIS FEELING

 

THAT I WANT TO

 

WHERE WOULD I EVEN START

 

IT'S SO FAR APART

 

NO ONE LISTENED

 

TO THE WARNINGS

 

THEY WERE BLIND

 

TO THE SIGNS

 

OBEDIENT TO THE END

 

WOULDN'T CROSS THE LINES

 

 

WE CAN'T MAKE 

 

A STAND FROM HERE

 

THE FIELD OF FIRE 

 

ISN'T CLEAR

 

IN THE MOUNTAINS

 

BY A STREAM

 

HIDDEN IN THE TREES

 

WE'LL BUILD A PLACE

 

YOU AND I

 

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

 

AND OUR WHOLE WORLD IS

 

LOST IN THE STARS

 

PRECARIOUSLY PERCHED

 

FREE IN OUR SOULS

 

 

WE WON'T LET GO

 

SMILE TO THE END

 

I GET THE FEELING

 

I'VE BENT ALL I CAN

 

I'M DONE PRETENDING

 

DEFENDING YOU IS

 

ALL I WANT TO DO

 

I'M MOVING ON

 

I CAN'T FORGET OR FORGIVE

 

ALL WE EVER WANTED

 

WAS TO LIVE

 

THE BELLS OF FREEDOM

 

ARE STARTING TO PEAL

 

ALL TRUST IS GONE

 

NO ONE IS REAL

 

TIME TO STEAL AWAY

 

FADE INTO THE TREES

 

WE WON'T LIVE

 

 ON OUR KNEES 

PRECARIOUSLY PERCHED

FREE IN OUR SOULS

WE WON'T LET GO

SMILE TO THE END

I GET THE FEELING

I'VE BENT ALL I CAN

THE DAY IS CLOSING IN

 

COMING TO AN END

 

A RESTLESS MOON

 

ALREADY WAITING

 

FOR THE STARS

 

A COSMIC CELEBRATION

 

MY ELATION

 

WHEN I FIND YOU HERE

 

A HIT OR A MISS

 

NEITHER AS GOOD

 

 AS ALL OF THIS 

 

WITH YOU NEAR

 

 

WAS THAT A FALLING STAR

 

IN YOUR EYES

 

BLUE ON BLUE FROM

 

INDIGO SKIES

 

YOU HAD ME WHEN YOU

 

WANTED ME TO

 

HOLD YOU UP IN STARLIGHT

 

HOLD MY HAND IN MID FLIGHT

 

EVER DREAMING SO LONG

 

 

YOUR HEAD BURIED

 

IN MY SHOULDER

 

HOW COULD I WANT

 

THIS NIGHT TO BE OVER

 

TALK TO YOU UNTIL DAWN

 

SNEAKS INTO THE PICTURE

 

LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T BE LONG

 

OUR LOVE IS GROWING

 

GETTING STRONG

 

HOLD ME TO YOUR SIDE

 

HOLD ME TO YOUR LIFE

 

MAKE ME FEEL SO RIGHT

 

SOMETHING SPECIAL

 

HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT

 

 

THERE'S STILL TIME TO DREAM

 

REST YOUR HEAD

 

WE'LL SOON SEE WHERE

 

ALL THIS LED

 

AND THE THINGS YOU SAID

 

I'LL REMEMBER

 

LONG AFTER TODAY

 

WAS THAT A FALLING STAR

 

IN YOUR EYES

 

BLUE ON BLUE

 

FROM INDIDGO SKIES

 

YOU HAD ME WHEN

 

YOU WANTED ME

 

TO HOLD YOU UP IN STARLIGHT

 

HELD MY HAND

 

IN MID FLIGHT

 

EVER DREAMING SO LONG

 

EVER DREAMING SO LONG

 

THAT ONE SUMMER

 

THAT ONE SUMMER

SEASONS COME AND GO

 

TIME FLIES ON WINGS

 

TOO FAST TO SLOW DOWN

 

ALL THE THINGS WE FOUND

 

THE PRICE WE PAID

 

THE THINGS WE MADE

 

THAT MATTERED SO MUCH

 

THE WAY WE TOOK

 

EVERY ROAD TO FIND

 

SOMETHING NEW

 

 

A SUMMER TO REMEMBER

 

 GOES RIGHT PAST  

 

THAT'S IT IT'S GONE

 

YOU ONLY HAD ONE CHANCE

 

BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW

 

WHICH ONE

 

 YOU TOOK THEM ALL

 

TURNED MYSELF TO FACE THE WEST

 

OH THE SUNSETS I RECALL

 

I SURVIVED ON WISHES

 

AND NOT MUCH MORE AT ALL

 

LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SUMMER

 

THAT I COULDN'T FIND

 

THE TIMES I THOUGHT

 

I WAS GETTING CLOSER

 

THE HANDS OF TIME

 

FELL ON MY SHOULDERS

 

 YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE

 

CUT IT REAL FINE

 

IF SHE'S NOT THE ONE

 

THE ONE THAT CAN

 

TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY

 

BREAK YOU DOWN ASK YOU

 

IF SHE CAN STAY

 

RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

 

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SKIES

 

ARE BLACK OR BLUE

 

HER LOVE WILL SHINE

 

SEASONS COME AND GO

 

TIME FLIES ON WINGS

 

TOO FAST TO SLOW DOWN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAN'T LOOK AWAY

 

CAN'T LOOK AWAY

GIVE ME A CHANCE

 

LET ME FIND

 

YOUR HEART

 

THE PLACE

 

THE WAY WE'D START 

 

A BEAUTIFUL SOUL

 

A FACE LIKE AN ANGEL

 

IN THE SUN

 

I CAN'T LOOK AWAY

 

IN CASE YOU'D BE GONE

 

 

I WANT YOU

 

EVERYTHING AND ALL

 

EVERYDAY 

 

UNTIL THE END

 

ALL MY LOVE

 

I WILL SEND

 

TO YOUR HEART

 

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH

 

THE CHANCE

 

THE PERFECTION

 

 THAT YOU BRING

 

INSPIRES ANGELS SINGING 

 

IN THE AFTERNOON SUN

 

 

THIS WARMTH

 

THIS LIGHT

 

NEVER DIMS WHEN

 

YOU ARE NEAR

 

LIFT UP MY SOUL

 

MAKE MY HEART BELIEVE 

 

THAT YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME

 

AND I JUST CAN'T LOOK AWAY

 

IN CASE YOU'D BE GONE

 

WHEN I TURNED BACK TO YOU

 

MY LOVE

 

YOU HOLD MY ATTENTION

 

YOU HOLD MY HAND

 

IN SUCH A WAY

 

I WANT YOU TO STAY

 

I CAN'T EMBRACE GOODBYE

 

IF YOU SAILED AWAY

 

I WOULD BE 

 

AN EMPTY SHELL

 

LYING ON THE SHORE

 

CHIPPED AND BROKEN

 

NO GOOD ANYMORE

 

 

 

I LIKE MY CHANCES

 

WITH YOU

 

WE VIEW THE WORLD

 

THE SAME

 

AND WHO COULD

 

EVER BLAME ME

 

FOR FALLING IN LOVE 

 

WITH YOU 

 

I CAN'T LOOK A WAY

 

WE GO LAUGHING

 

INTO A SUMMERS DAY
