sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

Di Na Babalik (E. Aguila 2009)

Laging tinitignan
mukha nating dalawa
mga lumang larawan
at mga lumang alaala

dating kinikilig
ngayon ngiti nalang
pinipigilan ang bibig
na sabihing miss kita

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Alam mo naman kasi
sa tagal nating nagsama
kilala mo na ako
nababasa ang aking mukha

buti alam mo
ayoko na kasi ng gulo
masayang masaya ka na
'di na kailangan magkaeksena

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Laging tinitignan
mukha niyong dalawa
sa bagong larawan
ng kasalan niyong langit ang tema

flowers

who’s that boy?
he's tappin by your window
flowers in hand yes he demands another chance
who’s that girl?
hiding by her pillows
bags packed in case
she’s going away forevermore

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

where's your boy?
crying by the stairway
guess it’s too late she left me forevermore
where’s your girl?
flying in her aeroplane
oceans away
babe that’s okay i’ll wait for u

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

never let you go [repeat till end]

flowers by your door got me feeling bored

Flowers

you with your headphones on 
i thought i saw
some trace of january's warmth 
on your favorite t-shirt

how it made me wonder why 
you never swing by 
anymore
by my door

you and your tired eyes
now i see in pictures
has it really been this while
since i held you close to me

oh these things are changing fast
some never really last
it happens all the time 
and you've got to make yourself feel fine

Anymore

All the noises somehow cleared
And all the voices disappeared
Is this another mesmerizing question?
I found myself asking.

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
I have no one else to blame
Playing all these fragile games

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

This evening I shall rest my case
Never knowing what to say
My reflections tell me wrong
But I kept pushing far too long

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
A solitary crow in a murder
Tell me, how much further?

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

And I will travel faraway between the oceans
Separating our fickle stares and our bashful smiles
Don’t even deny, just give me a try
Cause words won’t be able to bridge me over

Cause your taste fills my senses
With diamond wrenches under the trenches

Backward sailings around my
Norwegian desires
Call it a game

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Hey baby baby, it's been so long
For a second, I thought you had gone
But I always had something on my mind
If I asked you, would you say that you tried?

It's too soon to say that I'm sure
And you're not easily swayed by words anyway

Don't you know? 
I can't keep waiting without knowing what's the deal
So it goes,
And people keep talking without saying what they feel

Just let me know when it's real

Hey baby baby, when you called
I assumed that you knew it all
Thought I spelled it out as clear as day
For me to get to you, what should I say?

Maybe my intentions seem blurred,
And you're not easily swayed by words anymore

(Stop overthinking)
Just let me know when it's real
(You can't change the feeling)
Just let me know when it's real

And my heart's got to decide
I can't keep it inside
And you can't change my mind no more

And people keep on talking without ever saying whatever they truly feel

Let Me Know When It's Real - Ilang Ylang-Ylang?
