Lost In A Hotel Room

I chased you out to California
We got lost, in the hotels of Santa Monica
The place of all the palm trees, and endless sunshine, convertibles & wine
And Chicago, it was our city for so long
Footprints on a wet window, tangled in the sheets you know
I never wanted to go home, cause home was where I was
You changed my life | you’ll never know just how much
With the crazy nights | with all the things that you’ve done
And all these memories | you will find, the memories I’ll never forget
We found ourselves in New York
The city of bright lights, and endless nights, the place we crossed the line
It was such a perfect day, as you opened up your heart and we
Made love in the Bryant Park hotel
And then there’s Detroit and your red dress
All the things you did made my head spin around
I will never forget you, as long as I live
As long as you’re right here in my mind
You changed my life | you’ll never know just how much
With the crazy nights | with all the things that you’ve done
And all these memories | you will find, the memories I’ll never forget

Rescue Me
03:55
|

|
The world has gone a little crazy
Emotions turning heavy, but I know love can change the day
The way we think has really gone astray
Our moral conscience fades away, but I know love will point the way
I try to empathize
And understand the whys
Around (Behind – 2nd time) all those things they are saying
But the (their – 2nd time) words are compromised
By the half-truths and the lies
That they’re so desperate to believe
So why, cant’ we believe
In love
All this love,
All this love,
Will rescue me
I said love,
All this love,
All this love,
Will rescue me
Well, I’m a blue dot living in a red sea,
This hatred tries to drown me, but I know love will rescue me
With so much fear and outright bigotry
The words they say are beyond me, but I know love will set us free

World Of Wonder
05:49
|

The wind blows through the trees, and the birds fly in the sky
The sunlight’s all around me, life echoes in my mind
All of the things that we’ve done
The people we’ve become
What should we do differently?
And as our time goes by
All our reasons why
Are lost in the memory
Cause every day I pose the questions that always fill my mind
And every day you show me the answers, through different signs
And every day I’m filled with wonder (Repeat twice 2nd chorus)
Every night I find, when I look up in the sky
And I see all of the different stars and it fills my mind with wonder
And I don’t know why
With all of these things that I find
They fill my mind, fill my mind with wonder
They keep me asking why

Hallelujah

Tonight, I look up in the sky,
the stars point me in your direction
Tonight, I thank my lucky stars,
with such appreciation
Singing Hallelujah
Singing Hallelujah
And I know our time goes by so fast,
and our days here, blur all together
And I know our time wasn’t meant to last
But I’m grateful, that I got to love you
Singing Hallelujah
Singing Hallelujah
When I look back on this time
I’m sure, I know I will find
That you were the one who made me see
How beautiful love was
How beautiful love was
Singing Hallelujah
Singing Hallelujah
You’re my Hallelujah
You’re my Hallelujah

Answer
05:03
|

I can see this sunlight, shining brightly through the trees, reaching out to me
I can feel the darkness, and the coldness that it brings, closing in on me
And it makes me wonder, who am I supposed to be
Cause in the end it doesn’t matter
Cause, in the end, we’re all the same
Cause everyone is searching for the answer
Cause in the end the answers will remain
I can feel the snowfall, falling down all over me, what a sight to see
Standing still in snowfall, while the birds sing joyfully, calling out to me
There’s a moment when I found it
And the whole world seems right
In the next moment, I’ve lost it
I’ve been searching ever since because you know
Yeah, you know…
But in the end the answer will remain

Believe
04:17

Reality of you & me, I’m in love so desperately
With someone who can’t give themselves, all to me
You thought I needed so much more
All you needed was to let go
And love me with all you had to give
Can you still believe
Believe in me
Well can you find a way to believe
Belief will set you free, belief will set you free, yeah…
I know you are the one for me
Right now you just can’t see
Past the fear inside and all of your insecurities
It’s time like this you really need, to find the strength to believe
And follow you heart to the place you need to be
That place is here with me
Can you still believe?
Believe in me
Well can you find a way to believe
Belief will set you free
Can you still believe?
Believe in me
Well can you find a way to believe
Belief will set you free,
All this space between it, makes it hard to believe
But if you find that you’re still wondering, wondering what to believe?
Well, come right back to me
Soon enough you’ll see
Well, can you still believe?
Believe in me
Well, can you find a way to believe?
Belief will set you free
Well, can you still believe?
Believe in me
Well, can you find a way to believe?
Belief will set you free,
Belief will set you free,
Belief will set you free,
Belief will set you free,

Light Shines Bright
05:56
|

People are always telling me, how to live my life
I don’t know why but I’ve got to, find it for myself
Once a dear friend told me, no matter where you go
You’ll always find yourself, carrying your load
The light shines brightest when, I take you in my arms
The light shines brightest when, I let go of my heart
And I trust the love you give
Staring at the mirror, it’s hard to see yourself
When you’re lying just to make it through the day
I’m always lost in my head, it’s the safest place to be
When the world outside, stops making sense
The days go by
Sometimes it’s so hard to see the answer
Tell me what’s right
And your love will guide me
Your love will guide me home
The light shines brightest when, I take you in my arms
The light shines brightest when, I let go of my heart
And I trust the love
And I trust the love
And I trust the love you give

Tell Me
04:37
|

|
Well I am done talking about it
The words you’ve said have made me doubt it
My heart’s on fire and my head is crowded
With thoughts of us all broken and crumbled
The time has come, to tell me how you really feel
I’ve come undone, from the way that you’ve treated me
So tell me how you really feel, cause I don’t want to go without
Tell me how you really feel, cause my heart is filled with doubt
I look around but I can’t seem to find you
You’ve slipped away and into the darkness
You’re lost to me and my heart is drowning
The memories of things that have been forgotten
So tell me how you really feel, cause I don’t want to go without
Tell me how you really feel, cause my heart is filled with doubt
Tell me how you really feel, cause I don’t want to go without
Tell me how you really feel, cause my heart is filled with doubt
Cause I know it’s time
I can’t read your mind
You’ve got to give me a sign
Our time is quickly slipping away
If you have nothing left to say
What is there left to believe?
If you can’t say it to me
The time has come, to tell me how you really feel
I’ve come undone, from the way that you’ve treated me
So tell me how you really feel, cause I don’t want to go without
Tell me how you really feel, cause my heart is filled with doubt
Tell me how you really feel, cause I don’t want to go without
Tell me how you really feel, cause my heart is filled with doubt
Cause I know it’s time
I can’t read your mind
You’ve got to give me a sign
