Shades Of Grey
I and I am to blame,
I sit here in shame.
I threw you away again.
And I, I send you my best.
I try to lay this to rest,
When you were my everything.
Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
Hey, and I'll look away,
Pretend I'm okay.
I'm back on the road again.
And please, could it be true,
That I still love you,
And my loves unworthy.
Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
And oh what if I sit in vain.
Are you listening to my words?
And I saw your smile pass me by,
And landed far from me.
And what does that mean?
Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
Oh what if I sit in vain.
I and I ran away,
For I was afraid.
Afraid you'd be everything.
I Am For You

Something's very wrong here
Your heart has frozen over
And something's very strange here
You've lost all desire
The comfort we create to prove we're something
But we're starving
You're screaming in the night 'cause you want answers
From the one
And there is hope again
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
Come and take my face or forever I will walk alone
And all the same mistakes
'Cause I know you, I deny you
Days go by and choices still remain forever
Right and wrong is black and white
The illusions of this world
And there is hope again
Yeah
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send myself to you
C'mon
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send my love to you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
You found today, found today, you found today, saw today
Rumors
I'd cross the desert to be with you.
I miss you,
I miss you.
I heard the rumors they all were true.
I need you,
I need you.
Oooooh...
Next to me,
Next to me.
Oooooh...
Next to me,
Next to me.
I'll take off my make-up,
I stop and listen.
I am alive now,
I watch my head spin.
I'll take off my make-up,
I stop and listen.
I am alive now,
I watch my head spin.
I'm in love with things you can't define,
And I'm in love with things you cannot buy.
All for you, the one thing I know's true.
All for you, take me in ...
Into the depths of the deepest sea.
I fought you,
I fought you.
For all I know and all I can see.
You come through,
You come through.
And all I am and all I can be.
You're callin,
You're callin.
So here you are in front of me.
I've fallen,
I've fallen.
Round and Round, the things I can't deny,
And I'm in love with things you can't define.
All for you, the one thing I know's true.
All for you, take me in ...
And I walked away,
But you were always on my mind.
And I was afraid,
That you would never come alive.
There for me,
And I was scared of you.
You were there for me,
And I wasn't there for you.
Edinger
I woke her up because I could barely sleep
Two A.M. and contemplating fate
Made my way right out her door
Street lights, shine bright
I'll run away while she sleeps through the night
Was it fate that brought us here?
Or my mistakes I made in fear?
Well is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?
Stepping back to where I used to be
Incomplete and helpless so it seems
The fog's like a wall and its hard to see
These feelings, meanings
I'll start my car and drive till I find peace
Was it fate that brought us here?
Or my mistakes I made in fear?
Well is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?
When will this end?
Times running thin
I'll figure it out, figure it out
October Skies
Autumn brings a song I sing so desperately
These shattered dreams
From broken wings of love
October skies and city lights were all a blur
And high tide came washing them away
I said
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is surreal
Church bells ring
the North Star seems so far from me
The costal plane’s is where my shame shall lay
Autumn trees they shed their leaves
to live again
The cold air brings clarity to me...yeah
I said
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is surreal
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, to your love
I, I've been running to nowhere
And I, I feel something's getting clear oohhh
I said
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is surreal
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, to your love
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is surreal
Alright, alright, alright
You make the calls tonight
I surrender, to your love
Let Go
You danced with me in the moonlight
And I found me theme, roses bloom you inspired me
And the break of day fell upon me
And the light outshine
And you broke the spell that had kept me from loving you
I came to you for answers
I left confused
You play charades and the stars bow down
And I saw your face; I loose my self on a Saturday
It had been so long, so I question, I question everything
It’s no surprise the time was right and you saw it in my eyes
I came to you for answers
I left confused
And you moved me and you promised you would let go
Now I need you and I want you to know
I am spinning
Out of control to be with you
I know that, who you are...
I came to you for answers
I left confused
And you moved me and you promised you would let go
Now I need you and I want you to know
I'm steeping out today (I came to you for answers)
Pushed all the demons away (I left confused)
I'm steeping out today (and you moved me and you promised you would let go)
Pushed all the demons away (now I need you and I want you to know)
I'll come through
Hands On Deck
All Hands on deck
Dont abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck
My ship is sinking
Dont let me go
Dont let me drown
A step to the right
To your own rhythm
Cause what comes next
Is up to you
And I need a miracle
To save me from this
And i need the angels
To all pray for me
I cant believe you
All Hands on deck
Dont abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck
My ship is sinking
Dont let me go
Dont let me drown
Another day
Another worry
Breaks right through
And indecision bleeds me dry
And shes turning pages
I'm not making for her
And shes painting pictures
Without me in mind
I can't believe you
All Hands on deck
Dont abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck
My ship is sinking
Dont let me go
Dont let me drown
All Hands on deck
Dont abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck
My ship is sinking
Dont let me go
Dont let me drown
the long walks on moon light beach
the promises you could not keep
Your so contagious
Your so contagious
for all the world we did not see
for all the smiles you gave to me
theyre so contagious so contagious
so very fake
All Hands on deck
dont abandon the ship
youll never kno what it could have been
all hands on deck
my ship is sinking
dont let me go
dont let me drown
goodbye to you
goodbye to you you
goodbye to you
goodbye to you you
Long Shot
You made the call
I step outside, cross that line
And I lose control
Because I've been waiting
It's beautiful to let go don't you know
Your everything I try to be
The rise and fall to respond to the call
I got butterflies
(Chorus)
Your all I have
So break me down
Your all I am
And nothing else matters
This is a longshot
Its all I have
I'm ready to step it up
All I need is your hand
This is a long shot
Its who I am
I'm ready to take off
All I need is a plan
I'm calling out
Take me, make me
I'm finding out
You are my reason
Its beautiful to let go don't you know
Your everything I try to be
The rise and Fall to respond to the call
I sing a new song
Chorus
This is a longshot
This is the Longest shot
I'm barely moving you keep
Me breathing
Silhouettes
Silhouettes, they all show,
This will pass like yesterday,
The rain will come and wash away,
And fill me with your sweet sweet air,
I cried out and you were there,
Like the wind that I cannot see,
But I know it's there right in front of me,
You're everywhere, oh oh oh,
You're everywhere,
I cried wolf to you again,
And then denied this in my head,
Cause I ran to the other side,
Only to then change my mind,
Like the wind that I cannot see,
But I know it's there right in front of me,
You're everywhere, oh oh oh,
You're everywhere,
What if I follow?
What if I break?
I'm living life so I'll make my mistakes,
You're everywhere, oh oh oh,
You're everywhere,
Silhouettes, they all show,
I'm losing myself again,
And your patient with me,
I'm building these walls again,
Please rescue me,
Silhouettes, they all show,
Silhouettes, would you let me know?
Like the wind that I cannot see,
But I know it's there right in front of me,
You're everywhere, oh oh oh,
You're everywhere,
What if I follow?
What if I break?
I'm living my life, I will make my mistakes,
You're everywhere, oh oh oh,
You're everywhere,
Oh, oh,
Silhouettes, they all show
Same Problem
Oh no the battle forms inside,
And I speak, but you don't see the signs,
My heart aches, leaving me here to hide,
My world shakes, until you assure me,
Oh no there goes composure,
Over and out to sea,
oh no this won't control me,
But it seems to get the best of me,
The same problem, coming to haunt me again,
And I know it's taken the best of my head,
The same problem tears me to pieces inside,
And I'm left to wonder why...
Oh no I'm crossing my fingers,
In hopes that you will not leave me,
Far away, the silence it burns me,
As I wait, the tension builds,
The same problem, coming to haunt me again,
And I know it's taken the best of my head,
The same problem tears me to pieces inside,
And I'm left to wonder why...
Oh why can't I move forward?
Oh why does my mind wander?
Oh why does my heart desire you?
The same problem, coming to haunt me again,
And I know it's taken the best of my head,
The same problem tears me to pieces inside,
And I'm left to wonder...
The same problem, coming to haunt me again,
And I know it's taken the best of my head,
The same problem tears me to pieces inside,
And I'm left to wonder oh why...
Oh no there goes composure...
Medication
Who am I trying to fool
As the night falls upon me
Who am I trying to be
When this leads to nothing
I need some medication
I need your medication
These choices I've been making
They make me hate myself
Are you there?
How I long to be with you
Are you there?
Listening to my despair
Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
I said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear
It’s a lie
How you wept, how you tried
But I never make the time
Here I go once again
Will this ever end?
I need some medication
I need your medication
These choices I've been making
They make me hate myself
Are you there?
How I long to be with you
Are you there?
Listening to my despair
Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
Said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear
Don't make the call
Into the room
It's where I fall
Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
I said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear
Lying, trying to stop this time
I’ll stop this time
One step backward chasing after
A voice inside, A voice inside
That knows
Overjoyed
I see frustration upon your face
Tired eyes
Won't you jsut rest with me
I'll make you complete again
I saw the beauty in your soul
The way you are
Can't you just see the oon smiling at you tonight
And what will define you?
I'm overjoyed yeah
Overjoyed to be with you
Overcame doubts
Overcame and fell for you
I see two roads ahead of you
One is wid, the other is narrow and long
Which is the one you'll choose?
Together we're walking side by side
I will fall and you will rescue me
through all my darkest times
And what will define you?
Cause I want to know you
I want to give you all I can
I want to know you
I want to someday understand
And its all for you
Yeah, who you going to be, who you going to be?
Always there through the rough times
And you're always there when no one else cares,
no one else cares
Always there
Sing Me To Sleep
There is something
Watching, waiting
There is something
Passing, casting these shadows
How they make their way into my mind
And you'll sing me to sleep
You'll sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep
You'll sing to me
And I'm not alone
There is something
Shining, calling my name
And who are you, what do you want?
I'll claim nothing
When you're whispering
The truth has made its way into my head
And you'll sing me to sleep
Sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep
Sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep
Sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep
Sing to me gently
And I'm not alone
