BEST YEAR

This could be the best year of our lives

If we tear up the rule book

Leave it all behind

You work all day

‘till you close your eyes

Let’s get outta this town

Find some bluer skies

 

And I feel the good times coming

And I see a new sun rising

Don’t wait, it’s on the horizon

This could be, the best year of our lives

 

Thinking about it, I don’t know why we waited so long

Sitting there at that desk was never where I belonged

Now we’ll take this chance 

do something of our own

Fly across an ocean, move a thousand miles from home

 

And I feel the good times coming

And I see a new sun rising

A blue sky and an endless horizon

This could be the best year of our lives

 

Sometimes life offers a chance, just one moment falls in your hands

Win or lose, wrong or right, life is all about the ride

 

And I feel the good times coming

And I see a new sun rising

Don’t wait, it’s on the horizon

This could be, the best year of our lives

TO BE LOVED BY YOU

 

Oh I dreamed there could be

One perfect guy created just for me

To give me love and know just what I need

Now you’ve made me believe

 

And I don’t know how it’s true

And I don’t know how I found you

But I love that you love me the way that you do

Cos it’s more than anyone deserves

To be loved by you

 

One look at you is enough

To make me smile whenever life’s too much

And when I’m down, you lift me way way up

I’m flyin’ when we touch

 

And I don’t know how it’s true

And I don’t know how I found you

But I love that you love me the way that you do

Cos it’s more than anyone deserves

To be loved by you

 

And I don’t know how it’s true

And I don’t know how I found you

But I love that you love me the way that you do

Cos it’s more than anyone deserves

To be loved by you

NOTHING YOU SAY

Late at night and I’m lying beside you

Don’t know why, you turn away

Look at the stars they seem to know where we are

Don’t let them see, you turn away

 

When you lie here in my arms, and I feel you

I could drown in your heart, right here

 

Nothing you say could ever make me walk away

I’m here till the end, and here I will stay

 

There’s nothing to run from

I’m here to lean on

Don’t turn away

 

Won’t you lie here in my arms, let me love you

I could drown in your heart, right here

 

Nothing you say could ever make me walk away

I’m here till the end, and here I will stay

Nothing you say could ever make me walk away

I’m here till the end, and here I will stay

 

Here tonight,

I give my life

Here tonight

 

Nothing you say could ever make me walk away

I’m here till the end, and here I will stay

IT WAS MEANT TO BE

It was meant to be

And better than I could believe

Something we can hold on to

Till the stars burn out

 

You are here with me

Closer than you’ve ever been

I am you and you are me

The lines are fading out

 

Lay down your weary heart

Stay by my side

And I promise I’ll be here

Till we run out of time

 

Always meant to be 

Like the world turns endlessly

We will keep on growing tall

Reaching to the clouds

 

Lay down your weary heart

Stay by my side

And I promise I’ll be here

Till we run out of time

 

It was meant to be

Floating on a summer breeze

Rising as we fall so deep

In each other’s arms

 

Like a flower needs 

Sun and water to succeed

I need you so I can breathe

That’s how it’s meant to be

You are here with

And that’s how it’s meant to be

CLOSE MY EYES

Silence fills the room

I’m lying here alone

I pull the covers close

Cos the space you left is cold

 

And I want you with me

Just to stay close to me

Where are you now

Will you find me somehow?

 

If I close my eyes

I can bring you here with me tonight

And I won’t ask for anymore 

When I see you through that door

 

The snow is softly falling

It’s like the world just stopped still

And I know you hear me calling

Come home to me

Will you come home to me?

 

If I close my eyes

I can bring you here with me tonight

And I won’t ask for anymore 

When I see you through that door

 

If I close my eyes

I can bring you here with me tonight

If I close my eyes

I can bring you here with me tonight

And I won’t ask for anymore 

When I see you through that door

And I won’t ask for anymore 

When I see you through that door

SWEET SURRENDER

Six in the evening and I’m waiting at the lights

I don’t wanna be there finish yesterday’s fight

So I think I’ll just keep driving into the darkness of the night

 

Cos I don’t wanna be there when you open up the door

I can’t face another day no I can’t take no more

So I think I’ll just keep going, miss the turning in the road

 

And maybe just maybe you will never know

 

Sweet surrender is all that’s left of me

And I don’t want to remember the man you used to be

Sweet sweet surrender of this love is all that I can see

 

When I close my eyes and think back to the night I first saw you

It’s fading like the memory of early morning dew

And I told myself so many times you would change but somehow I knew

That I’d find a way of going back, watch you break my heart in two

 

Sweet surrender is all that’s left of me

And I don’t want to remember the man you used to be

Sweet sweet surrender of this love is all that I can see

 

Waking up alone in this silent hotel room

Can’t believe you ever talked me into loving you

But there’s no use trying to forget

All the years that I’ve lived through

Cos they made me who I am 

Somehow I found the strength to walk away

 

Sweet surrender is all that’s left of me

And I don’t want to remember the girl I used to be

It only makes me stronger when I see what I’ve become

Sweet surrender of this love is the best thing that I’ve done

LOOK AROUND

We all get lost

Lose our way

When you feel alone

I’ll be there, to lead you home

 

When you come unravelled

When the lights turn out

When darkness calls you

I’ll be there, there to hold you

 

Just look around

I’m there beside you, standing by you

Look around

When the world lets go I won’t let you fall

I’ll be there through it all

 

When you fear tomorrow

When you’ve done it all

When you look back on your mistakes

I’ll be there, whatever it takes

 

Just look around

I’m there beside you, standing by you

Look around

When the world lets go I won’t let you fall

I’ll be there through it all

 

Look around

I’m there beside you, standing by you

Look around

When the world lets go I won’t let you fall

Baby look around

I’m there beside you, standing by you

Look around

When the world lets go I won’t let you fall

I’ll be there through it all

THE ONLY THING REAL

We’ve traded all our heroes for tabloid magazines

And everything we do is something we’ve already seen

We’re all just trying to fit in here

Caught somewhere between saint and sinner

 

We need the best of everything no matter what the cost

We fly into that wishing well like a penny that’s been tossed

But it’s a finish line impossible to cross

Even for the winner

 

Will we ever learn the right thing to hold

The call of our hearts, diamonds and gold

With all that we want

The love that we feel, Is the only thing real

 

I’ve heard it said an empty heart never will regret

All the things a heavy heart never can forget

But hearts were made for breaking

If yours ain’t broken yet you ain’t livin’

 

You can spend your whole life waiting

Searching for a sign

Everybody finds their way somewhere down the line

Let’s drink a toast, make the most of all the love and time that we’ve been given

 

Will we ever learn the right thing to hold

The call of our hearts, diamonds and gold

With all that we want

The love that we feel, Is the only thing real

 

Will we ever learn the right thing to hold

The call of our hearts, diamonds and gold

With all that we want

The love that we feel

Is the only thing real

GET ME THROUGH TONIGHT

Sometimes life deals you the wrong hand

Sometimes luck ain’t on your side

It gives no answers you can understand

You feel so alone all you wanna do is fall down

 

And they say life is for the living

But who takes care of broken souls?

It’s like you took my spirit with you

With that last breath that you owned

 

So if there’s anybody listening

Anyone who cries these tears

Show me how to keep believing in this life

Now the one I love’s not here

And if my days are filled with sorrow

Somehow I’ll learn to survive

I don’t care about tomorrow

Just get me through tonight

 

If there’s anybody listening

Anyone who cries these tears

Show me how to keep believing in this life

Now the one I love’s not here

And if my days are filled with sorrow

Somehow I’ll learn to survive

I don’t care about tomorrow

Just get me through tonight

 

I don’t care about tomorrow

Just get me through tonight

SMILE
 

There’s not many people bring me to life like you do

You’ve gotta a way with words

On days when the world’s closing in around me

You take away all that hurts

 

Somethings you just can’t hide

You may never understand why

 

You make me smile

Every time, I breathe you in and I’m strong

I want you to know that you’re where I will always belong

 

It takes a lot to keep my attention

Somehow you’ve got me hanging on

And every time I get myself into a situation

You put right what was wrong

 

Somethings you just can’t hide

Like that look in your eyes

 

Makes me smile

Every time, I breathe you in and I’m strong

I want you to know that you’re where I will always belong

 

Even when the times get rough

Even when I’ve had enough

Even when I think I can’t go on

Every morning I wake up

Every time I feel your touch

I’m hanging on

 

To your smile

Every time, I breathe you in and I’m strong

I want you to know that you’re where I belong

You make me smile

Every time, I breathe you in and I’m strong

I want you to know that you’re where I will always belong

Oh I want you to know that you’re where I will always belong

THE EDGE OF LOVE

Do you ever get the feeling

You’re in out of your depth?

And the water keeps rising over your head

 

Maybe, I’m wrong

Maybe I should play along

But I know, I’m not that strong

 

This time’s the last time, I’m leaving

No more crying I’m drying these tears

Miles of memories, leading us down this road

One step from falling off the edge of love

 

Lately I’ve been thinking

We’re going round in circles now

Whatever I do, it’s never enough

 

So maybe I should go,

Maybe I’ll just never know

Till I leave you, leave you behind

 

This time’s the last time, I’m leaving

No more crying, I’m drying these tears

Miles of memories, leading us nowhere

One step from falling off the edge of love

 

This time’s the last time, I’m leaving

No more crying, I’m drying these tears

Miles of memories, leading us down this road

One step from falling off the edge of love

I’m one step from falling off the edge of love

IF ONLY FOR TONIGHT
 

Sometimes there is nothing to say

But here I lie 

And look at you all day

 

There’s a warm light drifting in

And it’s alright 

Till tomorrow begins

 

And we can leave all things behind

We’re the only ones living tonight

 

Keep dreaming and the world will leave us behind

Keep falling for this moment, right here you’re mine

If only for tonight

 

I wake with you all around

But there’s a weight

That keeps me tied to the ground

 

And the simple question remains

Don’t know when we’ll be here again

 

Keep dreaming and the world will leave us behind

Keep falling for this moment right here you’re mine

If only for tonight

 

Sometimes there is nothing to say

But here I lie

And look at you all day

 

And the simple question remains

Don’t know when I’ll see you again
