One Arms Length (feat. Morgan Bracy)

YOU DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT LOVE

VERSE 1
Don’t slam the door, don’t shut me out again
It’s tug of war but you’re the only one pulling
Look in my eyes, I’m an open book
Check the fine print, there’s no danger that you overlooked

CHORUS
You don’t know a thing about love
Being swept off your feet and falling softly
Into my open arms
There’s no need to fear, your heart is safe here
This is not a battlefield, this is your home
Baby, if you trust me, I can show you
You don’t know a thing about love

VERSE 2
You’ve got scars, you’ve got history
She shot you down just when you were surrendering
And now I’m forced to carry this white flag
It’s not my fight but you always forget that

CHORUS
You don’t know a thing about love
Being swept off your feet and falling softly
Into my open arms
There’s no need to fear, your heart is safe here
This is not a battlefield, this is your home
Baby, if you trust me, I can show you
You don’t know a thing about love

BRIDGE
Baby I’ve fallen straight through the floor
Beat up by love, but I’m stronger than before
I know it’s easy to run away
But I’m on your side, we’ll take it day by day

CHORUS
Because you don’t know a thing about love
Being swept off your feet and falling softly
Into my open arms
There’s no need to fear, your heart is safe here
This is not a battlefield, this is your home
Baby, if you trust me, I can show you
You don’t know a thing about love

You Don't Know A Thing About Love

YOU WERE WRONG

VERSE 1
I can’t take all these accusations
How can you judge me 
When you don’t know the situation
All I want is a chance to defend my name
So open your eyes for a change

CHORUS
I am honest, I am worthy
I don’t deserve your reprimand
If you’ll listen, if you’re willing
Maybe you’ll understand
You were wrong

VERSE 2
You draw your own conclusions first
You’ve already made up your mind
And that makes it so much worse
I haven’t been given the opportunity
To tell my side of the story

CHORUS
I am honest, I am worthy
I don’t deserve your reprimand
If you’ll listen, if you’re willing
Maybe you’ll understand
You were wrong
	
BRIDGE
You don’t know the facts
You don’t know the truth
If you saw my heart
You’d feel like a fool

CHORUS
I am honest, I am worthy
I don’t deserve your reprimand
If you’ll listen, if you’re willing
Maybe you’ll understand
You were wrong

CHORUS
I am honest, I am worthy
I don’t deserve your reprimand
If you’ll listen, if you’re willing
Maybe you’ll understand
You were wrong

You Were Wrong

OCTOBER RAIN (SEXY SONG)

VERSE 1
A harvest moon’s hanging low in the sky 
Dark clouds are moving in for the night 
The crickets are singing a sweet lullaby
And I’m waiting, just craving

VERSE 2
The taste of sugar from your tender lips
Your fingertips warm on my skin
Baby, you’re the one thing I just can’t resist 
Take me in your arms, and I’ll fall apart

CHORUS
Oh, I want you tonight
Like nobody I’ve wanted before 
It feels like I’m on fire 
So cool me down, baby, make it pour 
Wash my thirst away, like this October rain

VERSE 3
There’s something you do that drives me crazy
And I haven’t had enough of it lately
So how ‘bout we end this drought now, baby
I just can’t wait for that damn to break

CHORUS
Oh, I want you tonight
Like nobody I’ve wanted before 
It feels like I’m on fire 
So cool me down, baby, make it pour 
Wash my thirst away, like this October rain

CHORUS
Oh, I want you tonight
Like nobody I’ve wanted before 
It feels like I’m on fire 
So cool me down, baby, make it pour 
Wash my thirst away, like this October rain

October Rain

GOIN’ NOWHERE

VERSE 1
If I tell you how I feel
Is it gonna make you hold back 
If I tell you this is real 
Are you gonna say we’re moving too fast 
We’re standing at the crossroads
And you don’t seem to know that

CHORUS
It’s all or nothing baby
I want a long-term kind of love  
A real-life happy ending
That’s where I see us, but
If you ain’t going there
We’re goin’ nowhere 

VERSE 2
I think you knew it from the start
I’m not the kind of girl to waste my time
I won’t give away my heart
To a man who won’t make up his mind 
You say you can only give so much
But half way’s not enough, ‘cause

CHORUS
It’s all or nothing baby
I want a long-term kind of love  
A real-life happy ending
That’s where I see us, but
If you ain’t going there
We’re goin’ nowhere 

BRIDGE
You wanna see me every day
You wanna hold me every night
You wanna get our own place
Tell me, what do you want for the rest of our lives?

CHORUS
Is it all or nothing baby?
Is this a long-term kind of love?
A real-life happy ending
That’s where I see us, but
If you ain’t going there
We’re goin’ nowhere

Goin' Nowhere

LEARNING TO FLY

Sometimes you feel like you got a bad deal 	
You got crushed like a bug on a windshield 
Cruising right along, then you hit a wall 
You don’t know if you can take another big fall 
You tried to step out, but you got knocked down
Whatcha gonna do now?

It’s kinda tough when you can’t get up 
And you’ve got your sights set right on the sky 
Jumping around, trying to get off the ground
Sometimes you fall as hard as you try
Oh, it’s just another lesson in life
We’re all learning to fly 

One day you’re up, next day you’re down
Your sunshine gets covered by a big cloud 
As strong as you are, someone breaks your heart
Wondering how you’re gonna make another new start
Take a minute to breath, dust off those wings
Try to catch the next breeze

It’s kinda tough when you can’t get up 
And you’ve got your sights set right on the sky 
Jumping around, trying to get off the ground
Sometimes you fall as hard as you try
Oh, it’s just another lesson in life
We’re all learning to fly 

We’re all learning to…
Get through another day
Whatever comes your way
You can face it gracefully

It’s kinda tough when you can’t get up 
And you’ve got your sights set right on the sky 
Jumping around, trying to get off the ground
Sometimes you fall as hard as you try
Oh, it’s just another lesson in life
We’re all learning to fly 
We're all learning to fly
We're all learning to fly
(It's kinda tough when you can't get up
Jumping around, trying to get off the ground...)

Learning To Fly

“UNITED”

VERSE 1:
There’s hope in all of us
There’s reason to believe
We all have strength inside
That someone else needs
It’s the love that comes 
From your sisters and brothers
It’s the kindness you give to others

CHORUS:
That’s what it takes to live united
We stand up, we stand strong
We stand together, undivided
You can make change possible
You have something to offer
Right where you are, live united

VERSE 2:
We all have dreams we dream
We all have stories to tell
So many happy endings
Don’t happen all by themselves
It’s the smile that comes 
From a friend or a neighbor
It’s the will that never waivers

CHORUS:
That’s what it takes to live united
We stand up, we stand strong
We stand together, undivided
You can make change possible
You have something to offer
Right where you are, live united

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS:
That’s what it takes to live united
We stand up, we stand strong
We stand together, undivided

That’s what it takes to live united
We stand up, we stand strong
We stand together, undivided
You can make change possible
You have something to offer
Right where you are, live united
Live united

United

I'm Not Gonna Let You

EVERYTHING I’M NOT

V1:	You said “we’re done” over stale morning coffee
There’s somebody else and you’re sorry 
And it’s like she stepped right out of your fantasies (please)
She knows how to satisfy you
There’s not a thing she won’t deny you
And that’s more than you can say for me
So honey, just leave
			
CH:	Greener grass is what you think you’ve found
She’s waiting for you somewhere across town
Run to her and don’t (even) think about
Why you’re leaving, all you’re leaving behind
Go ahead, throw it all away
If it’s a chance you feel you’ve gotta take 
You say she’s what you want
‘Cause she’s everything I’m not

V2:	She’s a tramp-stamped, heart-stealin’ short skirt
I’m a true-love, one-man kind of girl
But if she’s what you need, I won’t interfere
She’s a midnight call when you want it 
An easy fling, now let’s be honest
So what are you still doing here?
You’ve made your choice clear

CH:	Greener grass is what you think you’ve found
She’s waiting for you somewhere across town
Run to her and don’t (even) think about
Why you’re leaving, all you’re leaving behind
Go ahead, throw it all away
If it’s a chance you feel you’ve gotta take 
You say she’s what you want
But she’s everything I’m not

BR:	Sooner or later, you’re gonna miss me you’re gonna hate her 
Baby, don’t you know not everything is what it seems

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG:	You think she’s what you want
She’s everything I’m not
