Never Let You Go
Oh Lord
How did I get here?
How did I get to a place
Where I can’t touch my face
And I can’t even walk out the door
Oh Lord
I need an answer
This strange existence
So much social distance
I don’t recognize this place anymore
But if I had the chance to see you
A moment to be near you
I would wrap my arms around you
And I would never, I would never let you go
Help me
To understand this
These things I can’t see
Can’t believe, can’t conceive
This new reality
Tell me
What is this planet?
I don’t speak the language
I don’t understand it
I am in a foreign land
But if I had the chance to see you
A moment to be near you
I would wrap my arms around you
And I would never, I would never let you go
Oh, I wish that we could fly away
Close our eyes and just escape
But if I had the chance to see you
A moment to be near you
I would wrap my arms around you
And I would never, I would never let you go
But if I had the chance to see you
A moment to be near you
I would wrap my arms around you
And I would never, I would never let you go

I Wish I Didn't

I Wish I Didn't
I Wish I Didn't sit around and think of you
I Wish I Didn't, but I do
I am just a drop of water floating in the ocean
Rising, falling, tumbling, moving in slow motion
I never thought you noticed me
Swimming with the other drops of water in the sea
I Wish I Didn't try to read between the lines
I fool myself by thinking I can read your mind
Do you know the thousand ways that you have stolen my heart
How every place I see your face whenever we’re apart
When I walk outside at night
Your eyes shine down on me from the stars up in the sky
I am a bowstring and
You are an arrow
You pierced me to my bone
Right down to the marrow of my soul…
I Wish I Didn't wish a wish that can’t come true
Like no more wars, unicorns, and me and you
Am I an optimist or simply just naïve
Hoping for an outcome that can never be achieved
Wish I could tell you how I feel
I couldn’t and I wouldn’t ‘cause my nerves are made of steel

Silent Stream
Nothing’s as it seems
This could all just be a dream
It feels so real to me, it’s hard to tell
Looking in your eyes
Will I ever realize
The mystery that lies inside your shell?
A Silent Stream
Runs between
Connects unseen beneath our feet
Now our thoughts combine
They blend together in the wine
To make sense of our words, obscured and jangled
Something in your voice
Explains it as a simple choice
Despite the strings attached, so long and tangled
A Silent Stream
Runs between
Connects unseen beneath our feet
I’ve heard life can weave
The threads of things that we believe
Healing broken lives and restore me
The river bends and flows
Music floating from our souls
Draws us even deeper in it’s story
A Silent Stream
Runs between
Connects unseen beneath our feet

Over You (demo)
05:05

Maybe I’m the only one who knows
How everything that shines inside you shows
Hanging like a halo-light that glows
Over you
I’ve been keeping busy and staying out
Anything that helps me fight the doubt
And gives me something else to think about
Over you
Over you
I woke up in the eye-wall of a dream
Wondering for days what it could mean
I’ve been losing sleep some nights, it seems
Over you
Over you
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout it, even though
It’s no good for me, I know
Can’t find my way around it, it’s out of my control
Just wish that I could let it go
Let it go
There might come a day when I forget
Just about anyone I have met
But it will take a lifetime for me to get
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you…

Someone (demo)
03:53
|

I’m searching for somebody who’ll try to understand me
Show me how to see when I feel blind
Really need somebody who helps me to keep climbing
Inspires me and makes me feel alive
I don’t need them to protect me, hold me or direct me
I just want to them to be there
Throw me out a lifeline when I start to flat-line
Somebody to really care
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
You say you need somebody, tell me you’ve been hoping
Won’t you stop and open up your eyes?
You’ve been looking through me, like you never knew me
Tell me how I make you realize
I am right beside you, if only you would try to
Open up the door
You need to take a chance, this could be the answer
To what we’re looking for
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
How will I know where to look?
How will I know when if see it?
Open your eyes, open your mind
Open up your heart to feel it
I am right beside you, take a chance and try to
Let somebody in
Unless we make the jump, we’re always going to wonder
What life would have been
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you

Today
Everything has changed
I cannot explain
How I even got to this place
Yesterday
You were standing here
Laughing in my ear
Making that funny face
What went wrong?
We were so strong
The world at our feet
Now you’re gone
A phenomenon
I can’t believe
I need an angel
I need an angel
I need an angel
To rescue me
Tomorrow
I can’t think of tomorrow
I just try to get through
Each passing hour
Right now
Unfamiliar voices
The lack of any choices
Within my power
I don’t know
What day it is
Anymore
Time has stopped
I can’t recall
My life before
I need an angel
I need an angel
I need an angel
To rescue me
I need angel
I need an angel
I need an angel
To rescue me

I know who you are
I’m beginning to see
Through the mystery of you
Past the fears inside me
I’ve just realized
What I should have known
That you are an angel
Come to rescue my soul
I’ve taken a lifetime
Searching beneath
Every stone in the hope I’d
Find some kind of meaning
You must have been watching
I must have been blind
‘Cause you are an angel
Right before my eyes
There must be millions of lives
More deserving to save
Why was it mine
That you chose to embrace?
I’ve cheated and lied
To myself all along
I thought I knew better
But had it all wrong
I just realized
When I saw you today
You’re simply an angel
And I’m simply amazed
You’re simply an angel
And I’m simply amazed
