Sometimes I think I know you better than I know myself. Well, you try your best but I know that something is clawing at your heart. Finally, your wounds begin to show and you know I'll be there, at first light, to say It's Okay, It's Alright. Sometimes I think that you believe that I don't give a gosh darn. Well, that couldn't be more wrong. You are my sun, you are my stars, you are my everything. So when you're alone and afraid well I'll say: It's Okay, It's Alright. Please, dry those eyes love and I promise to never leave your side. I don't know what they've told you but you and me I hope that's all we'll ever need because I know that when I'm with you It's Okay, It's Alright.

No Tomorrow 01:50
They say there's always tomorrow. Well, that couldn't be more wrong. Opportunities come and go with no sign of return. And when I look behind me I see that no one is following me. I'm alone, alone to make these choices for myself. Should I ignore it and hope it dulls like a rusty knife or do I follow the heart and expect the worst? There's no way of telling which way to go so hold my hand and lead me down the right path because there may never be another tomorrow.

You Alone 02:42
Head down, don't you make a sound. Tell me, what do you hear? Close your eyes and listen close. Tell me, what do you hear? I know this story has just begun but I am ripping up the pages now. My love is too much for me to take. These words go out to you and You Alone. I need you to know now that this is far from ordinary and I just hope you feel it too. These words go out to you and You Alone.

Let it be known I always thought I'd end up alone like this. Yeah, I'm no friend of mine, this is just how I feel. You can try, I just don't know why, I don't know why. Maybe it's just for today or this night but the moon looks awful sad tonight. At least the sky has some sympathy for me. It's gonna be a long, long night, a long, long night. I close my eyes hoping you'll be there for me. Maybe this time no not this time, well here's to hope. I have to fight it every time, every time. Isn't it funny, don't you think? I'm pushing you away but I want you by my side. It's just A Game We Play, A Game We Play. And after all this precious time I still can't find where we begin. Believe me, there's nothing wrong with a little uncertainty in this fight. But I know you need me too, you need me too. Isn't that all you need? Well that's all I need.

I know I'm not perfect but I'm giving all that I got and I'll always be there for you. So don't walk away. Don't stray too far before I fade away. Because you are my life. Oh you are. See I have never done this before so keep the clock ticking and I swear before the time runs out you will feel the same. Because you are my life. Oh you are. And I'll never let you go. Let you go.

Dreams 03:54
As our summer sun is setting I notice the world has stopped turning. It's just you and me tonight and life is silent. You lean in close and you say, you say I'll always be yours. I'll always be yours. Stars fade overhead and suddenly you're gone and life is silent. Those were just Dreams. I keep thinking maybe this time no not this time. I've got to wake up. Wake up. Those were just Dreams.

I Miss You 05:38
How long with this silence last? Cause I want to make things right. And this burden of words left unsaid, it weighs me down, it weighs me down. So please know that I Miss You. I Miss You. These city streets and highway lines, they're keeping us apart and I just want to be closer, to be closer to you. So please know that I Miss You. I Miss You and I need you. I need you. I need you to stay. I need you to stay here with me.
