Here and Now

I am nothing, Im everything
I am naive, I”m all knowing
I am the dark, I am the light
I am the day, I am the night
I am fire, I am frost
I am found and I am lost
I am love and I am hate
I am chance and I am fate
We are one here and now
There is no why there is no how
There is only your hand in mine
Bodies fused, our heart intwined
So just let go, take a breath
There is no life there is no death
There is only you and me
Here and now
I am passion, ennui
I am chained, I am free
I am distant, I am near
I am love, I am fear
I am nothing, Im everything
I am naive, I”m all knowing
I am the dark, I am the light
I am the day, I am the night
Yes we all get lost sometimes
Judging by the weight on my mind
Should listen instead of talking
Sit still instead of walking
Have I been so beguiled as to be blind
I am nothing, Im everything
I am naive, I”m all knowing
I am the dark, I am the light
I am the day, I am the night
We are one here and now
There is no why there is no how
There is only your hand in mine
Bodies fused, our heart intwined
So just let go, take a breath
There is no life there is no death
There is only you and me
Here and now

Life is Better With You
03:10
|
|||
I can climb the highest mountain
Breathe the air above the clouds
I can dive the deepest waters
Where it's cold and dark as hell
I can walk amongst the ancient trees
And feel their wisdom envelop me
There's one thing I've discovered to be true
It all feels better with you
Life is better with you
I can't believe the things that I have found
Digging round inside my self
All the pieces of my broken heart
And of the darkness of my soul
There's one thing I've discovered to be true
It all looks better with you
Life is better with you
All those things that never happened
Still they weigh upon my mind
I lost my head inside the passion
Trying to make up for lost time
There's one thing I've discovered to be true
It all looks better with you
Life is better with you

Please don’t leave me now
I can feel it so close some how
Please don’t walk away tonight
We just began our time
I can’t seem to get enough of you
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want to know the answers to
You aren’t mine but I want you to be
I sit in the dark hoping you’re thinking of me
Please don’t leave me now
I can feel it so close some how
Please don’t walk away tonight
We just began our time
Nothing is forever
Everything comes to an end one way or another
Every moment we were together could have been our last
And then it was
Please don’t leave me now
I can feel it so close some how
Please don’t walk away tonight
We just began our time

Claire

Oh my dear Claire
Our love seems so unfair
Caught between a lover’s dream
And the depths of our despair
At first you set me free
Now I’m lost upon your sea
One minute I’m drowned in ecstasy
The next I’m on my knees
The next I’m on my knees
Sleep now
Know that it’s over
Dream now
Of moving forward
Clear out
All that has held me back
Held me back
Oh my dear Claire
Eyes like lode stars calling me
Still I must beware
Oh my dear Claire
Raging tempest, darkest nights
It’s more than I can bear
Sing that song to me
The one that helps me to sleep
Forget that I am lost at sea
Adrift inside this dream
Adrift in side this dream
Sleep now
Know that it’s over
Dream now
Of moving forward
Clear out
All that has held me back
Held me back
Oh my dear Claire
Wind so warm, light so bright
And skin so fair
Oh my dear Claire
You calm my soul with you I’d go
Anywhere
Sing that song to me
The one that helps me to sleep
Forget that I am lost at sea
Adrift inside this dream
Adrift in side this dream
Wait now
The dream isn’t over
Place your hand on my shoulder
Clear out
All that has held us back
Held us back
Oh my dear Claire
Our love seems so unfair
Caught between a lover’s dream
And the depths of our despair

Surrender
03:52
|
|||
We push and pull
We scratch and claw
We scream and shout
Knowing nothing at all
We forge ahead
Without a clue
Chasing a ghost
Or something to hold on to…..but
I surrender
I surrender
Spinning around
Inside our heads
We never live a day
And then we’re dead
Our eyes are closed
Our minds are shut
Whispers of heaven
Keep us stuck in the mud
I surrender
I surrender
I saw the look
Deep in your eyes
The ancient pain
Came as no surprise
Look where we are
See where we’ve been
As I awake
This is where I begin
I surrender
I surrender

Ev'ry Dying Day
03:38
|
|||
Even though you are not with me
You are coursing through my veins
Killing all my anger
Killing all my pain
I’ll always make you balanced
And I’ll never shift the blame
And I promise to be present
Ev'ry dying day
There is no second guessing
There are no steps to take
Lay down right here beside me
And we will both fade away
In between the constellations
Is the love that we have made
And I promise to be present
Ev'ry dying day
And I promise to be present
And to listen to my heart
I promise to be still even when all the world seems like it’s falling apart
For you alone have freed me
I have broken my own chains
So I promise to be present
In ev'ry dying day
Blessed are the faithful
Who don't believe in anything
For they we hold the answers
When we let our voices ring
The glory is upon us
In every essence we are kings
And so I promise to be present
In ev'ry dying day
And I promise to be present
And to listen to my heart
To be still when all world seems like it’s falling apart
I’ll always have you with me
Deep in my heart’s where you shall stay
And I promise to be present
In ev'ry dying day

I Forgive You Anyway
04:03
|
|||
Oh mommy dearest
Life sure it ain’t fair
You always said I’d never make it
I was going nowhere
You hid yourself in plain view
Reciting your prayers
When I asked you why you left me
You still look at me and swear
It was for love, love, love
You did it for love, love, love
It sure don’t feel that way
But I forgive you anyway
Oh daddy tell me
What did you fear?
Always a bottle between us
I never got near
You let your fists do the talking
Let me wipe away my tears
When I asked you “how could you do it,
after all these years?”
You said it’s love, love, love
You did it for love, love, love
Oh yes it’s love, love, love
It sure don’t feel that way
It sure don’t feel that way
But I forgive you anyway
You were my first love
Sure won’t be my last
Dark secrets looming
Buried in your past
I followed you down a dangerous path
Kept thinking to myself
Will I ever get back
Into love, love, love
Back into love, love, love
Back into love, love, love
It sure don’t feel that way
It sure don’t feel that way
But I forgive you anyway

Better Together
04:11
|
|||
When we first met
You were heartbreak in silhouette
I fell in love before a word was said
And before too long
We couldn't be apart
We lived for the moment
Even though you're right here
You are a million miles away
So please come home to me
We are better together
Don't you see
So please come home to me
We are better together
Don't you see
You and me
Don't give up on me
I call on you now
In my moments of weakness
You are the closest thing I have to forgiveness
And now the lines are blurred
and it's getting much worse
I'm drowning in the secrets
I'm standing still
Like it's some sort of thrill
watching you leaving
But even though you're still here
You are a million miles away
So please come home to me
We are better together
Don't you see
So please come home to me
We are better together
Don't you see
You and me
Don't give up on me

Almost There
05:12
|
|||
The time has come for me to disappear
So hold me close one more time my dear
This is a tragedy of the heart
We can't be together but we can't be apart
This pain it is so raw
I can't be alone in it
I’m torn up and twisted
Everything I do reminds me of you
And it kills me not to be able
To be everything you need
Your shadow in the darkness
Your bandage when you bleed
The whisper on your shoulder
That gently guides your soul
And so because I love you
I have to let you go
Yes I have to let you go
We were almost there
We were almost there
I hope your next lover
Loves you better than I did
As you sip red wine in the moonlight
On some rooftop in Madrid
Let him look you in the eye
Like I loved to do so much
As you let your body go
And surrender to his touch
And it kills me not to be able
To be everything you need
Your shadow in the darkness
Your bandage when you bleed
The whisper on your shoulder
That gently guides your soul
And so because I love you
I have to let you go
Yes I have to let you go
We were almost there
We were almost there
Maybe some day we will be together
And I can have another chance
To be the light that guides your travels
And to kiss you as we dance
We were almost there
We were almost there

Let Me Love You
02:55
|
|||
Many things have come to pass
Sometimes I walk on broken glass
There's been times when I can't breathe
Open my eyes but still don't see
All I know is that we're here right now
So let me love you
Many days have come and gone
Many nights have been too long
Many times I laid awake, again
Thinking bout if we would still be friends
All I know is that we're here right now
So let me love you
No one knows what lays in store
Questioning life and what it's for
Many hearts never have a chance
To fall in love to feel romance
All I know is that we're here right now

Where Lovers Go To Drown
03:57
|
|||
You have hurt me over and over and over again
Why the hell did I ever let you back in
You have left me bleeding on the floor
Think you’ll just come pick me up when you want more
Go find yourself another punching bag
Someone you can take for granted and tear their heart out instead
You pull me in
You push me out
You suck me up
You spit me out
You pick me up
You drag me down
Into the depths
Where lovers go to drown
I thought my beating heart would burst when I saw you again
Then I remembered how you left me for some film-making man
You left me bleeding on the floor
Think you’ll just come pick me up when you want more
Go find yourself another punching bag
Someone you can take for granted and tear their heart out instead
You pull me in
You push me out
You suck me up
You spit me out
You pick me up
You drag me down
Into the depths
Where lovers go to drown
You don’t deserve my love anyway
So I am telling you now, I’m taking it away
You pull me in
You push me out
You suck me up
You spit me out
You pick me up
You drag me down
Into the depths
Where lovers go to drown

Holding On To Me
04:06
|
|||
The way you look at me is how I know
I let my walls come down, I let you touch my soul
There's something so beautiful in letting go
There's something strong in being vulnerable
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Holding you holding on to me
The way you tell me all the things
You know I want to hear
It makes my heart swell up and it melts my fear
I want to do everything with do
I want to live inside you
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Holding you holding on to me
I never thought I'd need you
But suddenly I do
Don't want to tease you with what I can or cannot do
I have to break myself just so I can see you
Then that's what I'll do
The way you look at me is how I know
I let my walls come down, I let you touch my soul
There's something beautiful in letting go
There's something strong in being vulnerable
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Holding on to you holding on to me
