New Vibration
I've got the sun and it's seasons,
Giving days only wanting to please.
But I hear rhyme with no reason,
Spilling words that mean nothing to me.
I'm not wanting more,
Promises and beliefs.
I'm just waiting for,
Someone to hear this heartbeat.
I've got a soul and devotion,
I'm giving love and a valentine.
But I see life and it's motion,
You're grinding out on every subject you find.
I'm not wanting more,
Promises and beliefs.
I'm just waiting for,
Someone to hear this heartbeat.
I'm not running, I'm not chasing,
I'm just looking for that old sensation.
I'm not cooling, I'm not craving,
I'm just looking for some new vibrations.
I'm not wanting more,
Promises and beliefs.
I'm just waiting for,
Someone to hear this heartbeat.
I'm not running, I'm not chasing,
I'm just looking for an old sensation
I'm not cooling, I'm not craving
I'm just looking for some new vibrations.
I'm not running, I'm not chasing,
I'm just looking for an old sensation
I'm not cooling, I'm not craving
I'm just looking for some new vibrations.
What I Can Give You
Imagine again
I lean a little closer just to breathe you in.
Your words are in bloom
They wake me with the meanings and the thoughts of you.
I can't give you
Treasures that only men have made.
But what I can give you
No one can ever take away.
Twisting the day
I always lose myself so I can find your way.
The promises be
They whisper all the yearnings that I swear you need.
I can't give you
Treasures that only men have made.
But what I can give you
No one can ever take away.
I've got a long way, a long way to come down.
I've got a long way, a long way to come down.
I can't give you
Treasures that only men have made,
But what I can give you
No one can ever take away.
I can't give you
Treasures that only men have made,
But what I can give you
No one can ever take away.
Never Here Alone
Had a thought but it hurt
So I let it go
I let it go
See I don't need these verses
Laying down their blues on me today
I'm never here alone
I thought I heard some angel say
You'll never be alone
I know I heard my father sing
I'm never here alone
I'm never here alone
Have a scar, yeah a scar
So I let it show
I let it show show
See I don't need tomorrow
Fearing from the pain of yesterday
''[chorus]''
I'm starting back where love begins
Gonna get me those blue skies
Those blue skies again
''[chorus]''
Bearing Witness
Another day, newspapers say
Life, whatchu do to me?
I’m always here, you’re always there
Hope, that’s my company
Yeah stars of only so many wishes though
They can tell what we already know
See I’m just gathering all my eyes can see through
I’m bearing witness to you, I’m bearing witness to you
Familiar words, the evening stirs
Life, whatchu say to me?
I’m promised here, you’re precious there
Love, you’re my destiny
Yeah stars of only so many wishes though
They can tell what we already know
See I’m just gathering all my eyes can see through
I’m bearing witness to you, I’m bearing witness
Some days I surrender, some days I resolve
But everyday I conquer with your love
With you love
Yeah stars of only so many wishes though
They can tell what we already know
See I’m just gathering all my eyes can see through
I’m bearing witness to you, I’m bearing witness to you
All That I Know
In these lazy days
I barely see myself through
I lay here comfortable
My thoughts wrapped around you
I've got a lot on my mind
It's always you every time
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show
You're all that I know
These quiet nights
They nurture me to a bore
The only strength I find
Is when I'm wanting you more
I've had a lot on my mind
It still was you every time
''[chorus]''
I Don't Need Anymore Friends
I'm out of my head
And it's not the way that I wanted to feel
This loneliness and dread
gets your attention, makes us real
I'm going nowhere and it's slowly sinking in
I don't stand a chance
Until you get me out of here
I just don't have the will to pretend
I'm running for the door
Can you get me out of here?
I really don't need anymore friends
Well turning it on
It's getting harder and harder to do
Well don't get me wrong
That's dedication, good for you
It's just your atmosphere that brings me to my knees
[chorus]
Not anymore
No not anymore
Don't take it bad
Don't look so sad
If I turn around and walk away
Don't take it hard
I'll try to play that part
But I'm having such a bad day
And I'm not that much fun anyway
[chorus]
Not anymore
No not anymore
Good Morning After All
Yeah you give up some days
When the tears they must flow
But God is always your strength
The only strength that you know
Now everything starts to fall in place
As you wake just to crawl
Still you say good morning after all
Yeah you stand just to fall
Still you say good morning after all
Yeah you questioned this life
Sure you wondered about love
But you swear there's always hope
Always hope from above
Now everything starts to fall into place
''[chorus]''
It's just another breath
It's just another breath you say
It's just another step
It's just another step today
''[chorus]''
Hollywood
Oh summer it never leaves your face
You’ve got that sunshine bright eyed California cotton candy taste
Yeah Hollywood you know I love you more than one night should
Yeah Hollywood oh kiss me kiss me good
Oh Pretty pretty stars they love to sparkle for you
You’ve got that hip lock laid back animated groove attitude
Yeah Hollywood you know I love you more than one night should
Yeah Hollywood oh kiss me kiss me good
Yeah Hollywood you know I love you more than one night should
Yeah Hollywood oh kiss me kiss me good
Yeah Hollywood you know I love you more than one night should
Yeah Hollywood oh kiss me kiss me good
Persuasion Of You
I've got a memory,
Of nothing new.
I've only memorized,
All thoughts of you.
I'm pushing all tomorrows.
(Gotta go, gotta go, gotta get you back)
I'm pushing all thoughts forward.
(Chorus)
You are the one day that tells me that someday I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
I feel you resonate,
I swear I do.
You got my earth vibrating
No matter where I'm, running to.
I'm pushing all tomorrows.
(Gotta go, gotta go, gotta get you back)
I'm pushing all thoughts forward.
You are the one day that tells me that someday, I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
You are the one day that tells me that someday, I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
Don't hold back, hold my world.
Don't hold back, hold back now girl.
You are the one day that tells me that someday, I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
You are the one day that tells me that someday, I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
You are the one day that tells me that someday, I'll get what you choose.
You are the one thing that give me that something, persuasion of you.
(Get it goin' like)
Georgia Girl
She moved south as a child
She moved from the Jersey shore
Said she remembers the ocean
But she don't recall much more
She lived a contagious youth
Still she swears she has no past
Said she don't take love
Cause that high, it never lasts
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgia girl
She offers up fellowship
To those that come from broken homes
Yeah, she laughs in the crowds
While her heart is all alone
(repeat x2)
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgie girl
She moved south, as a child...
Adored
I can say this life is much better today
Everything turns right if wrong gets in the way
Yeah, and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
I can say the sun burns much brighter today
I can see my path though clouds darken my way
Yeah, and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
She said she's tired of watching me just wilt and grieve
She said, "I'm like Jesus, I save those who do believe
Do you, do you believe?"
Yeah, and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
Oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
