Lyrics to: Stranger I know

The sky has fallen, and everything's turned to dust,
And I can't stop thinking, and I can't peel away this old rust,
And I feel like flying up to heaven with you,
And if I could for a moment know the things that you do,
you...

Won't let me go,
Only you
Stranger I know,
Only you,
Always let's me know,
Only you,
Unconditional only you...

My faith is weening, but I don't turn away from you,
And I know what you're thinking, it's not about me but about you,
And the light in your eyes, makes me see the darkness I do,
And I am full of it as, I project me onto you,

Won't let me go,
Only you,
Stranger I know,
Only you,
Always let's me know,
Only you,
Unconditional only you...

The sky has fallen, and everything's turned to dust,
And I can't stop thinking, and I can't peel away this old rust,
And I feel like flying up to heaven with you,
And if I could for a moment know the things that you do,
Only you,

Won't let me go,
Only you,
Stranger I know,
Only you,
Always let's me know,
Only you,
Unconditional,
Only you...
you...
you...
Only you,
Unconditional...

Stranger I know

Lyrics: If I called your name

I want to sit and watch you move,
But it's not my move,
I can't go on loving you, 
When my time is through,

If I called your name,
Would you come?
Would you walk away?
If I called your name...

I did everything I could do,
You wouldn't make a move,
I can't go on chasing you,
When you found someone new,

If I called your name,
Would you come?
Would you walk away?
If I called your name...

So many things I would have said, 
If I could do it all again,
So many things I would have done,
If I had made you my only one...

If I called your name,
Would you come?
Would you walk away?
If I called your name...

If I called your name,
Would you come?
Would you walk away?
If I called your name...


If I Called Your Name

Lyrics:  

I'm larger than life,
I get myself into trouble from time to time,
when I talk, I can talk a little loud,
I'm just animated that's all,

I can be a bit dramatic,
I like to be a comedian,
but deep down I'm a romantic man,
trying to do the best at,

Life, 
I'm larger than life,
the life I live,
that I know,

Life,
I'm larger than life, 
the life I live,
that I know,

I'm your best nightmare,
and I can get under your skin,
we can fight and harvest our quarrels,
or be humble in sin,

Don't look to me,
I'm just a man like you,
I'm not getting out of here alive,
not me, not you,

Life,
I'm larger than life,
the life I live,
that I know,

Life,
I'm larger than life, 
the life I live, 
that I know,

I never said I was perfect,
Oh God, I confess,
but I learning not to compromise,
being me is,

Life,
I'm larger than life,
the life I live,
that I know,

Life,
I'm larger than life, 
the life I live,
that I know...

Larger Than Life

Lyrics:

My train left yesterday,
you didn't even know,
there is a hole in your pocket,
and your shirt is on inside out,

They got you where they want you,
ignorant and blind,
selfish by design, 
it seems like there is nothing more to find,
ignorance is your bliss,
blind leading the blind,
forget about life, 
it's just about getting by,

My train left yesterday,
you didn't even know,
there is a hole in your pocket,
and your shirt is on inside out,

My train left yesterday,
and I missed my ride,
I'm not running anymore no,
not this time,

Will you be at my trial?
victim in this case,
will you be my witness,
when you see my down ridden face?
will you walk by my side?
help me carry the load,
what seems so easy sometimes,
it ain't so,

My train left yesterday,
you didn't even know,
there's is a hole in your pocket,
and your shirt is on inside out,

My train came home today, 
just me standing there,
I love you anyway,
even if you're not here

My Train Left Yesterday

Lyrics,

Hey baby, watching years go by,
hey baby, I try, I try,
hey babe, how you feel inside?
hey baby,

hey baby, is there more then it seems?
hey baby, I'm alone in my dreams,
hey babe, do you know what I mean?
hey baby,

And I wanted to believe,
wanted you to count on me,
And I wanted to believe,
wanted you to count on me,

hey baby, this one's on me,
hey baby, are the good ones free?
hey babe, will you come to me?
hey baby,

hey baby, so high, so high,
hey baby, I can never decide,
hey baby, it's been a long ride,
hey baby,

And I wanted to believe, 
wanted you to count on me,
And I wanted to believe,
wanted you to count on me,
hey baby,

And I wanted to believe, 
wanted you to count on me,
And I wanted to believe,
wanted you to count on me,

hey baby,
hey, baby...

Hey Baby

Lyrics:

Here we are,
didn't think it'd go this far,
we said we are living one day at a time,
follow your heart,
but then you got lost in your mind,
all the pressures from the outside,

but I know there are things that get in the way,
but I can't stop thinking of you,
you this way,

Have to embrace myself for what may come down the line,
will we stay together?
are we out of time?
nothing really matters that much anyway,
that's my defense, that's what I say,

but I know there are things that get in the way,
but I can't stop thinking of you,
you this way,

and I know there are things that get in the way,
but I can't stop thinking of you,
Can't stop thinking of you,
you this way,

ya you know me,
don't get me started,
stop the bleed,
heal my wounds,
comfort my soul,
give me rest,
that is all,

love is open, 
love is free,
can't hold it to you,
you can't hold it to me,

here we are, 
didn't think it would go this far,
we said we are living one day at a time,
follow your heart,
and you will find,
all good things come together in time,

I know there are things that get in the way,
but I can't stop thinking of you this way,
but I know there are things that get in the way,
but I can't stop thinking of you,
I can't stop thinking of you,
I can't stop thinking of you,
you this way...

I Can't Stop Thinking Of You This Way

Lyrics:

You say, write a happy song,
you tell me, that all my songs are sad,
I tell ya, music is my life, 
and it's all I ever had,

darling when, you were asleep,
I wrote down, this song,
you asked me when, I'll be by,
I said, I won't be long,

I'm on the other side,
of your world,
of your eyes,
I'm on the other side,
but I want to be in your life,

I'm on the, other side,
but I, crave your hips,
I'm on the, other side,
where I've gotta, taste your lips,

I met you, late last night,
when we, had the time,
I met you, late last night,
so we could spend some time,

I'm on the other side,
of your world, 
of your eyes,
I'm on the other side, 
but I want to be in your life,

Washed away, in a dream,
it's so, bittersweet,
now I'm, thinking about,
the next time that we meet,

I am, walking a line,
then I have to retreat,
I am walking a line,
and it's all so bittersweet,

I'm on the other side,
of your world,
of your eyes,
I'm on the other side, 
but I want to be in your life,

I'm on the other side,
of your world,
of your eyes,
I'm on the other side,
but I want to be in your life...
