'Bougainvillaea' Lyrics:

William Pearson lived next door
A man who saved fashion from itself
He taught me all I know, of learning to be happy with yourself

He knew what a hard life was, but still he fought it to the end
And I now know I take this gift, of breath for granted everyday

And maybe you are, angry with the Lord
For making you His way, in image and in love
But maybe it’s yourself, that’s causes you this pain 
The sorrow of your pride, that keeps you up awake

Crying in the night, Oh oh oh; Oh, you’re crying for the night 
And to the stars you scream, and of a God you dream
And peace begins to sign

As a little boy peering up to see the hands of a solder
I saw Love within a heart that just seemed an angry neighbour
But if love is doing for others as you’d have them do for you
Then I’ll follow the Son just like He shone straight out of you

I’ve been trying so hard to be the man that I want to be
Despite knowing that I’ll never by my own strength succeed
Oh my God I have cried and screamed for this anguish just to end
But I find joy in knowing that my soul is what is saved

'Perfect' Lyrics:

I’d like to take a drive through the city
You can even sit in front 
Cause you’re looking so pretty tonight 
And we’d be listening to Death Cab for Cutie
You don’t need to say a word 
You know the imagery’s enough

And I apologize I know i talk a lot
But I love to listen to
Your stories even more
So just tell me
How you want it to be
You know I told you you’re way too hard to read 

Oh give me a sign 
I see an interest in your eyes, oh

And oh, I wish that we could grow just like the music I gave you
But I know it’s gonna take some time 
And if nothing goes my way
Oh Lord just let me stay
In her mind as a good friend
I wish it were more

Please give me a sign
This patience is lacking 
On a part of mine

Perfect
Oh isn’t she perfect
The edge of desire
Perfect
Oh isn’t it perfect
The mountain behind, Oh

And all these lovey-dovey thoughts
You had inside your mind
Oh I just wish I was the prince 
You were looking for this time

And I wonder if you grew up with carriages and rings
Playing damsel in your mind
The dragon ate him again
Pre Chorus
Oh, give me a sign 
If only you’d put your hand in mine

Perfect
Oh isn’t she perfect
The edge of desire
Perfect
Oh isn’t it perfect
The mountain behind

But you said it’s too perfect to be real
And I wonder if it is the same with us
So won’t you tell me what you’re really thinking
Before my mind is forced to self-destruct

I held out my heart
But you closed my hands

'Rainbows On A Grey Background' Lyrics:

I’m lost within myself inside a cave 
The Light is shining in, why can’t I reach out and take it
Longing for someone, I know your heart it aches
But patience is love, that’s the beauty of His grace

Don’t forget the blessings all around
Cause one day you may find His love astounds you

I like to try my best most of the time
Even though I know the reaping doesn’t start for quite a while now
And don’t we all wan’t, some type of recognition
But what we all really need is a Love beyond our comprehension

And Don’t forget the blessings all around
Cause one day you may find His love astounds you 
Don’t forget the blessings all around
Cause one day you may find His love astounds you

I’m staring out the window now, the rainbows on the grey
Watching all the birds above, flying free in their own way
Thinking of all the friends I have met in the last 18 years

What is your position
It doesn’t even matter
It’s just the direction
You’re moving in

'Missing Treasure' Lyrics:

When I tend to hold 
Onto a love untrue
I find that my pretending
Leaves my heart confused

But when I choose to hold 
Onto a friend like You
This chemistry unfolds
Somethings we never knew 

Cause true friendship lasts forever
Feels like I’ve found my missing treasure

And where could you be
In ten years time
Wherever You may be 
I hope I’m close beside

Cause true friendship lasts forever
Feels like I’ve found my missing treasure

This missing treasure in my life
Finally found some good advice to follow, to follow
This gold and silver in my hands
I’d give it up for one more chance to hear You
To hear You, Oh oh oh

And Oh
I cannot believe it
Cause Oh
I can finally see it

Cause true friendship lasts forever
Feels like I’ve found my missing treasure

Missing Treasure

'Exposure' Lyrics:

Your life is so pretty
But you don’t think so
I’m afraid that rich equals
Lonely in this world

It’s too quiet tonight dear
And I’m afraid today
That I’ve lost a friend

It wasn’t meant to be
An offensive Gift
I guess none of us like being
Exposed to ourselves

It’s too quiet tonight dear
And I’m afraid today
That I’ve lost a friend

But when's it too late to change
And I’m afraid for your soul
And I’ve been teary eyed
For the last few nights, oh no

It’s too quiet tonight dear
And I’m afraid today
That I’ve lost a friend

'Relentless Love' Lyrics:

I met you at the gate, a gate that seemed unclimbable
And told you my intent, told you that my heart was struggling
With the what ifs and the flings

And you told me that you had fled away from God a year
And in that space I knew exactly how you felt and why it’s good
To make this faith your own

My heart feels so unstable in its chest
The embers glow beneath the smoking ash
And I cry I know love and what it means
This Water cannot float this wait off me

And honour seems to be the hardest love
When thinking of the memories we’ve shared
In light of all the things that we have said
Who knew that words could be so intimate

Towards the park we wandered
Down the street that Alice rode
And spoke of our desires and the Word
And in that conversation we saw our hearts for what they were
But we chose to love each-other like the Lord loves us

Sister said my hearts a fountain, hers more like a fridge
Beyond the icy precipice, the water slowly drips
And in a sense our feelings were the same as the water slowly froze

Oh behind your face of cards, these emotions fleet and flare
Crying, oh heart! you caught my bluff, as I weep before the glare
Of a Son who called my name and told me what is best for her!

I see hunger, confusion and despair in our hearts 
But also hope and joy and peace and Truth, in choosing a new start
And as we worshiped together, I saw God in your hands
And as we sokkied underneath the stars, the joy of dancing with a friend

Towards the park we wandered
Down the street that Alice rode
And spoke of our desires and the Word
And in that conversation we saw our hearts for what they were
But we chose to love each-other like the Lord

Keep your heart together, although these stitches stretch
And honour her above what you desire
But know that Love is in you, whenever you feel scared
And find the peace that only Jesus gives

Relentless Love, Relentless Love, Relentless Love
Relentless Love, Relentless Love, Relentless Love

'Destiny' Lyrics:

Don’t stand still
Just keep moving 
Is what my father said to me 
Cause even though
You’re not going that fast
At least you’re moving forward

And I need Truth
To lead the way
My youthful days have almost past me by
But I’ve finally found
A Love that keeps me off the ground, oh oh
In this pursuit of happiness

Destiny
It’s taking over me
Learning more
The reason why we fall

And I’d love to make a change
So wont you listen
Oh wont you listen with your heart wide open
You’re still at an early age
Judged by the spirit in your heart
Not the wrinkles on your skin, Oh

And I know we like to stay in darkness
Because without the Light it never is exposed
But it’s not your time to blossom
I know you’re worried cause the bud is growing slow

Destiny
It’s taking over me 
And I need you to see
The One who gave it straight to me

Destiny

'Victim Or Joy' Lyrics:

Oh the personality of your soul
It is odd, Oh, he knows
And I never could have been
All I am, without you father
Take my hand

And all that I live for 
In spite of the worlds pain
I’ve always been so hard on myself

But I now know 
That this life doesn’t mean much
Unless it is lived for 
The Maker of our love

Oh your heart’s like life itself
Constantly changing
And victim to all the war the devil is waging 
Against you and your mind, Oh

He’s turned me against myself
And made me face all the hell
That is brought on by believing that there cannot be a God
Who loves us, and forgives

I know it’s hard to believe
In the love of a Saviour
With all of the pain 
That’s seems to outlive the danger

But I never could believe
That this life’s without purpose
For all of the things done
I believe in consequence

Victim Or Joy

'Campsite Kitchen' Lyrics:

I guess that I’m at fault this time
To make believe that this life is mine
My vision’s only patched on the outside
Oh God I’m a fool sometimes

So you took your old Love outside
To meet with all the world and its night
But dont you think there’s so much more than this
Your habit just to catch another kiss

All that your heart knows is hiding
From the Love that you used to love to seek
But what went so wrong my dear
Are we all asleep? Oh Oh Oh Oh, no 

I want to be a man of Love 
A love that chooses not to be first
It’s hard to be a servant of the Word
With intimacy issues at heart 
Oh I know it’s time to stop, hiding

All that your heart knows is hiding
From the Love that you used to love to seek
But what went so wrong my dear
Are we all asleep? Oh Oh Oh Oh, no

All that your heart knows is hiding
From the Love that you used to love to seek
But what went so wrong my dear
Are we all asleep
All asleep

'On My Mind' Lyrics:

She is on my mind
On my mind this evening
Worried all the time
I know my heart deceives me

The Man that is inside
I’m scared that He don’t show
So I cry out to Jesus
Help me let this go

I want to win your heart
But I do not know how
You said you need some time
To sort your luggage out

And as we hit the common
Gazing at the moon
I thought that I would like
To spend more time with you

She is on my mind
On my mind this evening
Tension in my chest
My blood is skipping beats

The man that is inside
I’m scared that she don’t see him
So I cry out to Jesus
And lay this at His feet

I want to win your heart
But I do not know how
You said you need some time
To sort your luggage out
And as we hit the common
Gazing at the moon
I thought that I would like
To spend more time with you

You said that I shouldn’t let
The world close a heart that is open
But friend it is hard to forget
The memories that make me feel broken

And I know that all each of us dream
Of a love that will ride in and save us
But lately I’m seeing a King
Instead of a flowing white dress

Oh, I want to win your heart
So won’t you show me how
You said you need some time
To seek His wisdom out

And as we hit the common
Gazing at the moon
I thought that I would like
To love her like you do

I want to win your heart but I don’t know how
Looking for love won’t You show me how
I want to win your heart but I don’t know how
Looking for love won’t You show me how

She is on my mind
On my mind this evening

On My Mind

'Deep End' Lyrics:

I said where you off to
She said I’m off to you
And I’ll sing you two verses
Cause you know I need the Truth

And I don’t want to seem too clingy, Oh no
Cause you’re the kind of girl I 
Wish I could make laugh more

Oh Chazzy I think I’m in the deep end
If only you would come out too, Oh

Float your head back in the water
The stars are bright in Stellies tonight
It’s like there’s beauty in the darkness
But I know it’s just a contrast of His light

And oh, how I wish that you would share
Your life's stories, oh what a friend I’d be, yeh
Cause I don’t think you have any idea of the love I felt for you
When you said you accept me as I am, Oh

Oh Chazzy I think I’m in the deep end
If only you would come out too oh
I’m trying to be the best friend I can be
But you said that I, I shouldn’t change for you

I now know the weight
The word and why it has its name
But I see that as much as i have a choice
Maybe I am not yours, I am not yours

Oh Chazzy I think I’m in the deep end
If only you would come out too Oh
I’m trying to be the best friend I can be, Ohohohoh
But you said that I, I shouldn’t change
You said that I, I shouldn’t change
You said that I, I shouldn’t change for you
I’m not gonna change for you

Deep End

'Fragile' Lyrics:

The city comes alive
As the moon shines on the freeway
Those taillights ten seconds ago
Illuminating my face
Like a warning
That all my worries will come crashing down
When I wake up
After dreaming like a child, dreaming like a child

If only I could find a way to share
The thoughts that echo through my head
Cause lately I see how little time we have
How little time I have to change your mind

And I know it is hard to keep your faith
When every things against you, in every way
But I see now how broken we are, how broken 
And I notice how fragile we are, how fragile

If only I could find a way to share
The thoughts that echo through my head
Cause lately I see how little time we have
How little time I have to change your mind

If only I could find a way to share
The thoughts that echo through my head
Cause lately I see how little time we have
How little time I have to change your mind

So speak up, cause you’re not alone
I promise you He’s listening to you, to every word
And don’t go, don’t go take the easy road
I promise you it’ll be better at the end, with this these lessons learnt

'On My Mind' Lyrics:

She is on my mind
On my mind this evening
Worried all the time
I know my heart deceives me

The Man that is inside

I want to win your heart but I don’t know how
Looking for love won’t You show me how

She is on my mind
On my mind this evening

'Tell Me' (Lyrics)

You said to me 
That you don’t think your heart can change
But friend I believe 
That Love aint bias to a name.

Lying on your bed
You said that I could spend the night
Oh even though I would
I’m waiting for another time

Still I want your love, love, love
And your touch, touch, touch
All of the above 
Tell me if you want the same

Lying on your couch
Heart thumping in my chest
I asked if I can kiss you on the mouth
And you said yes

Something in this heart
Would love to make love to you
But we both know this is not the time for us
To have this gift for two

Still I want your love, love, love
And your touch, touch, touch
All of the above
Tell me if you want the same

I need your kiss, kiss, kiss
On my lips, lips, lips
Until this beating heart skips, skips, skips
Tell me if you need the same

I want your love, love, love
And your touch, touch, touch
All of the above
Tell me if you want the same

I want your love, love, love
And your touch, touch, touch
All of the above
Tell me if you want the same
