Believe in Me

Verse I:
I don’t tell lies
I speak the truth
So listen now what I need to say to you
You might be suspicious
I would be too
But I mean what I say when I talk to you
Chorus:
So if you see it in my eyes like I see it in your smile
Tell me you won’t retreat
And if it appears in your mind, the life you’ve imagined a thousand times Tell me you want to believe
Verse II:
A little in the morning
Perhaps past noon
That’s one thing we can do
A little in the evening
Dinner can wait
I’ll never say I don’t have time for you
Bridge:
And you're more beautiful than anything I could wish for
I’d never try to change your mind
But I’ll say this one more time
Outro:
You want to believe
You want to believe in me
You want to believe
Won’t you believe?
Won't you believe in me?
Won’t you believe?
Won't you believe?
Won't you believe in me?
Believe in me

One Chance

Verse I:
Looking in from the outside
There's the ordinary and there's the simply divine
I just want what's right
Nothing more, just the piece that fits right
Chorus:
So give me at least one chance
I promise I will try to make it last
If you give me at least one day
I will be on the mountain, I won't retreat
Verse II:
In a moment, I break all the lines
To reconfigure the walls I've placed upon my life
The truth is, it's all mine
Every part a piece that plays its time
Bridge:
The scripted lines I stick to
Give me something familiar but untrue
The colors all the while still shining through
When it comes to the push that drives you
You can dive right in or flee for good
I'd like to think the former is what I'd choose
I'd like to think I've really got nothing to lose

I Came Here for Love
02:41
|

|
Verse I:
The stories I told myself
Seemed hopeful like they’d work out well
When you’re raised right, it looks right
Only good days and good nights
Chorus:
I never wanted or wished to live my life to win anything at all
I never wanted or wished to live my life to prove anything at all
I came here for love
I came here for love
Verse II:
The way forward always chosen for me
Now I’m in sitting in the driver’s seat
And I'm putting on the breaks cus it’s too bright
It’s a human reaction to a typical life
Bridge:
And the honor of recognition
The complication of fame
The sweetness of freedom
Every path just a different game

I Need a Break
03:26
|

|
I wouldn't try to change a thing about this moment in time
And I wanna know everything about your life
But I think I need a second before I lose my mind
Chorus:
I need a break, a break from the sun
I need a break, a break from this rush
I need a break, a break from the sun
You've got me overloaded with your love
With your love
With your love
I need a break, a break from the sun
You've got me overloaded with your love
Verse II:
I would choose again a thousand times
And I'm shining brighter than ever with you at my side
But I think I need second before I lose my mind
Bridge:
I wouldn't change a thing no matter what you do
And after 60 days I think you know the truth
With what you give me to me it's just a matter of a time
I know it's not a race, but I'm past the line

It's Been a Long Time
03:11
|
|||
|
Verse I:
Sometimes the nights get long
And I get tired of tired of being alone
I couldn't have guessed it’d be you who’d come along
Verse II:
Each day singing the same songs
Deeper and deeper I spiraled down
I couldn’t have guessed it’d be you who’d pull me up
Chorus:
I’ve been alone so long
I was afraid I’d forget how to love
But then you came along and you showed your heart to me
And now I can’t see anything but you and me
Verse III:
Please be patient and please be kind
Because it’s been a really long time
Since I’ve wanted to say please stay at my side
It’s been a really long time since I’ve said stay at my side
