No Worries

No worries
My life doesn't slow down for me
It just keeps moving on and on and on can't you see
Im sure yours is the same if you had a few more hours every day
You'd get caught up, paid up and find a way
to do the things you wish you'd done
And maybe then you'd have some fun
so I say....
No worries
It's nice to have a day off from the it all
And I'm sorry
I'm busy doing nothing all day long
Its crazy
that I could think day dreaming could be wrong
No worries
No worries
Tomorrow I'll be back
But today i'll be relaxing to this song
Why not just sit back and close our eyes
dream up some adventure that we make up in our minds
Thats what we'll do save the world in this story in our heads
We'll be kings and queens while laying in our beds
and when we wake we'll dream again
And this time we'll bring all our friends
so I say....
No worries
It's nice to have a day off from the it all
And I'm sorry
I'm busy doing nothing all day long
Its crazy
that I could think day dreaming could be wrong
No worries
No worries
Tomorrow I'll be back
But today i'll be relaxing to this song
While I know this day will never come to much
A day off here and there never ever hurt no one
I'm thankful for who and where and how I am today
make sure I'm caught up paid up and find a way
to do the things I want to do
No worries friends I'll bring you too
so I say....
No worries
It's nice to have a day off from the it all
And I'm sorry
I'm busy doing nothing all day long
Its crazy
that I could think day dreaming could be wrong
No worries
No worries
Tomorrow I'll be back
But today i'll be relaxing to this song

Brave

Brave
She doesn't ask for anything
She doesn't really care
But when I'm freaking out oh no
I know that she'll be there
She'll light the room up with a smile
She'll never need to change
At least not for me no no
I'm hoping she stays the same
She makes me Brave
she makes me stronger
And when my world is crashing down I hold
on to her x2
I'm a little taken back
by the beauty that she holds
something so unique and hers
She doesn't even know
She makes me brave
she makes me stronger
and when my world is crashing down I hold
on to her
I can't attest this love to anything i've done
I just got lucky with this one
fortunate I am my dear to have you
promise I won't let you go if you keep me too
promise I won't let you go if you keep me too
You make me brave
You make me stronger
And when my world is crashing down
when my world is crashing down
I know you'll be there

I'll See You
03:09
|

I'll See You
I'll see you when I see you
is all you said
So find another way
to meet me again
cause God only knows
what will happen
to be so close
then run off again
It might have been an accident
a pure straight up coincidence
but the messages that we both sent
could not have been read different
i don't know how or where or when
but I know that i'll see you again.
what ever happens will happen
with you and me
I'm not expecting much
just the chance to see
I've had higher hopes
for lesser things
To be so close
i guess I can dream
It might have been an accident
a pure straight up coincidence
but the messages that we both sent
could not have been read different
i don't know how or where or when
but I know that i'll see you again.
its not some crazy vision
just a feeling that I had
The thing that might have helped me
was to tell me that you'd never be back
you could've told me you'd never be back
It would've helped to know you wouldn't be back
It probably was an accident
a pure straight up coincidence
and the messages that we both sent
were probably read different by you...
I'll see you when I see you
Is all you said...

Walk Away

Walk Away
Maybe we shouldn't fight about it
It's pointless anyway
Maybe we shouldn't bring it up
There is nothing left to say
We've both said every single line
It's not where we want to be
We've both had our share of crimes
I blame you and you blame me
Its one of those situations
where we both know that we're right
Been here done this many times
I just don't want to fight
Don't know how we got here
Definitely Don't want to stay
Time to stop this time to drop this
Or maybe we should walk away
Maybe You shouldn't have said those words
But youre not the only one to blame
Maybe i could've let it slide
But there are two of us in this game
We've both said every single line
It's not where we want to be
We've both had our share of crimes
I blame you and you blame me
Its one of those situations
where we both know that we're right
Been here done this many times
I just don't want to fight
Don't know how we got here
Definitely Don't want to stay
Time to stop this time to drop this
Or maybe we should walk away
Babe I know you feel the same
Lets not go through the pain
We could end this all today
if we just push through this place
Its one of those situations
where we both know that we're right
Been here done this many times
I just don't want to fight
Don't know how we got here
Definitely Don't want to stay
Time to stop this time to drop this
Or maybe we should walk away

Lion Heart

Lion Heart
You've got the heart of a lion
but you act like a coward
With every step forward you take two steps backward
I know you've got it somewhere in you
I know that you could fly
The lions den was meant for lions not you and I
no
We all get caught up in it sometimes
even with our hands over both our eyes
Don't know how far you'll go until you try
without that uncertainty we'd never ask why-YYYYY
You've got your heart in the right place
but you won't follow through
with every lie you make you ask me what to do
I know you've got it somewhere in you
I know that you could fly
The liars lair was meant for liars not you and I no
We all have these choices that we have to make
If everyone was honest then no one would be fake
We live and learn and take what we have to take
in order to push past these times and live in a better place
You've got your heart on your sleeve
and theres nothing wrong with that
Everybody knows when you're happy when your sad
I know you've got it somewhere in you
I know that you could fly
If you could see it for yourself I think you'd be surprised
With the heart of a lion
you act like a coward
with every step forward you take two steps backward
I know you got it somewhere in you
I know that you could fly
The lions den was meant for lions not you and I
If you could see it for yourself i think you'd be surprised

Not A Love Song

|

Not A Love Song
This is not a love song
Just some words with a melody
I take back everything I said
you're not who I thought you'd be
No this is not a love song
just some lyrics that I'll sing
I don't want you thinking
that you meant that much to me
How much time did I waste
fulfilling all your needs
How much time did you take
doing what you pleased
Finally fed up, figured out
I'm better on my own
Finally found out, futures bright
when I'm heading there alone
This is not a love song
Just some words with a melody
I take back everything I said
you're not who I thought you'd be
No this is not a love song
just some lyrics that I'll sing
I don't want you thinking
that you meant that much to me
Confused and lost I fought for you
not sure why I did
The attention that you loved so much
masked the doubt that you hid yea
Finally fed up, figured out
I'm better on my own
Finally found out, futures bright
when I'm heading there alone
This is not a love song
Just some words with a melody
I take back everything I said
you're not who I thought you'd be
No this is not a love song
just some lyrics that I'll sing
I don't want you thinking
that you meant that much to me

NYC

NYC
Can you believe its been so long
the city hums the strangest song
lost down streets while in disguise
the love i have it reignites
And its something lonely overwhelming
bicycle rides and secrets telling
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long I'm gone again
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long Im gone again
And even though you won't wait for me
you'll always be my city
up and down and all around
I sleep tonight to the city's sound
And its something lonely overwhelming
bicycle rides and secrets telling
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long I'm gone again
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long Im gone again
My old friend I know we'll meet again
every time I catch sight of your sky line x2
Cause my heart is breaking overtaking every part
this building starts to crumble
So Lord make me one humble man that trusts
what you have planned for him x2
And its something lonely overwhelming
bicycle rides and secrets telling
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long I'm gone again
whisper that you'll stay the same
no matter how long Im gone again

Set Sail

Set Sail
You're a strange bird
and I know where I want to be
we could fly high you and me
out towards the sea
I got a boat waiting, sails set and ready to go, ready to go
it is gonna take us far, from this life before we grow old, we grow old
We're waiting for the dawn, before we can push off
and I've never been so sure of anything before
Just take the chance and leave, I know it sounds naive
but it just you and me staying (growing) young out on the sea
can you imagine
the wind the waves the sun out there
its not the city
but we can breath this ocean air
i got a boat waiting, sails set and ready to go, ready to go
it is gonna take us far from this life before we grow old, we grow old
We're waiting for the dawn, before we can push off
and I've never been so sure of anything before
Just take the chance and leave, I know it sounds naive
but it just you and me staying (growing) young out on the sea
and we'll stay young here, for the next year
sails set my dear, we'll leave our land locked lives right x2
We're waiting for the dawn, before we can push off
and I've never been so sure of anything before
Just take the chance and leave, I know it sounds naive
but it just you and me staying (growing) young out on the sea

Brooklyn Love
03:41
|

Oh my friend I've known you for awhile now
been through thick and thin and made it out on top some how
We got these memories they'll never grow old
share some secrets that will never be told no
You've got your brooklyn love
who knows if it will be enough
galavanting through the night
oh the stories oh the sights
The tiny details that you find
could put to shame the greatest spy
You've got your brooklyn love
don't give it up
Oh my friend remember when remember when
we learned a language and the adventure began
non me ne importa un bel niente
Doesn't matter what it means its what we like to say
You've got your brooklyn love
who knows if it will be enough
galavanting through the night
oh the stories oh the sights
The tiny details that you find
could put to shame the greatest spy
You've got your brooklyn love
and the rest of your life
You've got your brooklyn love
don't give it up
just keep your heart on your sleeve
just keep your honesty
keep your unbridled curiosity
Oh my friend don't forget you got me
Oh my friend don't forget you got meeeee
You've got your brooklyn love
who knows if it will be enough
galavanting through the night
oh the stories oh the sights
The tiny details that you find
could put to shame the greatest spy
You've got your brooklyn love
and the rest of your life
You've got your brooklyn love
don't give it up

Freckle Lip
03:02
|
|||
So unexpected you wrecked it
my plan to stay a single man
where'd you come from
I'm love stunned
now put your hand inside my hand
and its curious to me
how I can finally be happy
gotta be that freckle on your lip
and the green in those eyes
where we are and what we're doing
don't matter tonight
Because its been so long
since I could write a song
that meant anything to me
you've become my muse baby
So glad you found me, my lady
I'll find a way to make you stay
your charm your cheerful way of living
keeps my broken heart from giving
up on love and all the stuff
that makes me think I've had enough
so its curious to me
how I can finally be happy
gotta be that freckle on your lip
and the green in those eyes
where we are and what we're doing
don't matter tonight
Because its been so long
since I could write a song
that meant anything to me
you've become my muse baby
So tell me what you need
for you i'd do about anything
we could go across the world tonight
airport bound you pick the flight
just promise me one thing
to stay the same despite the changes
that we will see
i'll take care of you you take care of me
my love life remedy
you've become my muse baby
it's curious to me...
now that I'm finally happy
gotta be that freckle on your lip
and the green in those eyes
where we are and what we're doing
don't matter tonight
Because its been so long
since I could write a song
that meant anything to me
you've become my muse baby

Goodbye
03:34
|

Goodbye
Can't wait for the day I don't have to say
goodbye anymore
if only you knew what i went through
every time you walk out that door
Stay with me just another minute I can't stand this house
when you're not in it
The silence sends my mind astray I'm all alone
stuck in this place
Every time you leave
You take a piece
a piece of me
Can't wait for the day we don't have to say goodbye anymore
if only you knew what i went through
every time you walk out that door
I don't want to say Goodbye anymore
No I don't want to say goodbye
What do you say we call off today
jump in the car and run away
you and me and the open road
Where we stop nobody knows
Every time you leave
You take a piece
a piece of me
Can't wait for the day we don't have to say goodbye anymore
if only you knew what i went through
every time you walk out that door
(Extension to 2nd and 3rd Choruses)
I don't want to say Goodbye anymore
No I don't want to say goodbye

Autotune
03:41
|
|||
This is the beginning of the song
if i catch your interest you might just clap along
so clap along
Cause words don't matter when you're singing today
as long as I say something like lets go party
we could grab some drinks and drink them all day
or come with me lets dance the night away
yea yea yea
If I got a beat you will move your feet now
If I got a melody does it matter what I say
Does it make a difference what I'm singing to you
as long as I sing the words in auto-tune
auto tune x3
The next verse of the song should be what we're doing
we're dressed real nice there's really nothing to it
gonna get in cars gonna drive them to the bars
but we aint gonna drink and drive them home
we aint gonna drink and drive them home
Cause words don't matter when you're singing today
as long as I say something like lets go party
we could grab some drinks and drink them all day
or come with me lets dance the night away
yea yea yea
If I got a beat you will move your feet now
If I got a melody does it matter what I say
Does it make a difference what I'm singing to you
as long as I sing the words in auto-tune
auto tune x3
The bridge should have some long held out notes
And How I'm taking you home x2 (Don't forget the falsetto..)
If I got a beat you will move your feet now
If I got a melody does it matter what I say
Does it make a difference what I'm singing to you
as long as I sing the words in auto-tune
auto tune x3

Tiny Actions

Tiny Actions
I like to think its those little things
I believe they change the world
And God works in His crazy ways
to change each boy and girl
I like to think its not what I say but what I do
that will be the sort of thing that finally gets through to you
My tiny actions
little attractions
Something small not big at all could change a point of view
it doesn't have to be magnificent for the big man to move
and its comforting to know that I don't have to know
exactly what is going on when I listen to the voice inside my soul
I like to think its those little things
I believe they change the world
And God works in His crazy ways
to change each boy and girl
I like to think its not what I say but what I do
that will be the sort of thing that finally gets through to you
My tiny actions
little attractions
So just do whats right despite the chance to find the easy way out
Choose honesty automatically when you're in doubt
The actions that you show work louder than you know
Just keep on listening to that little voice inside your soul
I like to think its those little things
I believe they change the world
And God works in His crazy ways
to change each boy and girl
I like to think its not what I say but what I do
that will be the sort of thing that finally gets through to you
My tiny actions
little attractions
I promise you its easy to do
be the light inside the dark
do anything to show you care
it doesn't have to be so hard
do anything do something
give it a shot
the tiny actions that change a life
don't take everything we've got
I like to think its those little things
I believe they change the world
And God works in His crazy ways
to change each boy and girl
I like to think its not what I say but what I do
that will be the sort of thing that finally gets through to you
My tiny actions
little attractions

Glad I Have You
03:44
|

Just one of those days I know you've been there too
Life and love and bills and stuff what am I supposed to do
Put my head in my hands
I gotta stop making all these plans
I'm just glad I have You
You fight for me I fight for you
I'm just glad I have you
You die for me I'll die for you
I'm just glad I have you
I dream of leaving, of leaving this town
See the world, take it in what do I do now?
Not giving up take my cup and pour it out
So many years I wasted walking with the crowd
touch the sky with my hands
hoping I can be a humble man
I'm just glad I have you
You fight for me I fight for you
I'm just glad I have you
You die for me I'll die for you

Caught again its hard to explain
I see your face carved into my brain
here again the distance eats away
a secret room and I'm stuck here in this place
Can I bring you
closer to my heart
while I'm alone
and we're so far apart
We'll have to think of something a teleport machine
to take you in a second from where you are to me
or we could just meet in the middle i'll kiss your face again
I forgot just how little time that I can spend
on my own
on my own….
Spin around what is it that you see
I'm falling down close my eyes and count to three
can I bring you
closer to my love
while I'm alone
I think I've had enough
We'll have to think of something a teleport machine
to take you in a second from where you are to me
or we could just meet in the middle i'll kiss your face again
I forgot just how little time that I can spend
on my own
Cause it's time for me to take off now
I'm seeing you some way some how
a plane a train a boat a car
it doesn't matter how far you are
cause I'll see you in the morning love
I'll be there when you're waking up
so dream tonight for morning light
cause when the dark is done I'm by your side
We'll have to think of something a teleport machine
to take you in a second from where you are to me
or we could just meet in the middle i'll kiss your face again
I forgot just how little time that I can spend
on my own

Fresh
What a day today
Can't we find a way, to say
What we have inside this time
No more reading between the lines
So I'm starting new with you
It'll all be Fresh
I'm loving you to death
Can we start this over now
take it one huge breath
Until only love is left
Breakdance you sunrise
filling up my eyes
I've experienced what real love feels like
I can feel it moving in my bones
to know you're loved
is to never be alone
So I'm starting new with you
It'll all be Fresh
I'm loving you to death
Can we start this over now
take it one huge breath
Until only love is left
With your permission please
I'll get down on my knees
steal a glance, take your hand
come on babe I know we can
So you can finally see
my deepest part my dreams
I'm stronger then you think I am
come on babe I know we can
So I'm starting new with you
It'll all be Fresh
I'm loving you to death
Can we start this over now
take it one huge breath
Until only love is left

Lost in My Covers
I cant stop the noise inside my head
I'd hoped for some quiet instead
the second i close my eyes
these ideas come from all different sides
and my minds too awake
at the end of the day
for my body to rest the night away
Chorus
What if i just want sleep tonight
closing my eyes just like turning off the lights
what if I'm ready to lay in bed
lost in my covers not lost in my head
I'm constantly caught on you
and each tiny thing that you do
while my world spins around
you bring me back down and
show me a love that pulls it pulls through oh oh
what if I just want sleep tonight
no dreams of a glorious love in my life
what if i'm ready to lay in bed lost in my covers
not lost in my head
Instead of having all my dreams
seemingly gang up on me
overwhelming every part of me
and hindering any chance of sleep
and I've got so many things
inside my head
and too many lines
to ever be read
and I'll write them down
and sing them to the sounds
of a thousand angels all around
if I was only allowed
to sleep
to sleep sweet sleep...
what if I just want sleep tonight
no dreams of a glorious love in my life
what if i'm ready to lay in bed lost in my covers
not lost in my head
