NOW (2017)


SWINGIN' WITH MY EYES CLOSED

Summer's here, bring it on
Another year, one more beer, another song
Comes on the radio so loud and clear
You whisper "Come" in my ear
I follow like a season
Not afraid of what I'm feeling oh

I'm swingin', with my eyes closed
Got my hair down, a wide open road
I'm swingin', with me eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fists up in the air (fightin' for my freedom)
Go like we don't care
Swingin'

Life is short, nights are long
Nothing sure in this world, till we're gone
Fear disappears each time I close my eyes
I kiss you once, kiss kiss. I kiss you twice
It's in the air we're breathing
Oh can you taste the freedom oh, oh

I'm swingin', with my eyes closed
Got my hair down, a wide open road
I'm swingin', with me eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fists up in the air (fightin' for my freedom)
Go like we don't care
Swingin'

That road, only God knows, how far it goes
I'm swingin', with my eyes closed
Got my hair down, a wide open road
I'm swingin', with my eyes closed
Only God knows, how far it goes
Fists up in the air (fightin' for my freedom)
Go like we don't care
Fists up in the air (fighting for my freedom)
Go like we don't care
Swingin'

HOME NOW

Spoke my heart when I had the mind to
Lost my way trying to find truth
But I'm home now, home now. I'm home now

Crossed my heart and I hoped to make it
Over to the other side of wasted
But I'm home now, home now. I'm home now

And I'm one of those lucky ones
Who dreams out loud and it all comes
I've been roamin' round the lost and found
But I'm home now, home now, I'm home now

Saw the light when I couldn't reach it
Had the faith but I couldn't keep it
But I'm home now, home now. I'm home now

And I'm one of those lucky ones
Who prays for rain and down it comes
I've been roamin' round the lost and found
But I'm home now, home now. I'm home now

One more mile in my shoes, one more mile in my shoes
Oh I've walked so many miles, I think I'm gonna stay a while
'Cause I'm home now, home now,
I'm home now, home now

Sold my soul to a new religion
Then I heard my name through the distance
And I'm home now, home now. I'm home now, home now

Oh the road is takin' me home
Keep those lights on
I'm coming home

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIGHT OF MY LIFE

Today to you I'm invisible
Tomorrow you may still be out of reach
But someday you and I will be possible
We'll be alone making love on the beach

By then we won't remember what it was like
Before you and I fell in love
That we were ever not together in this life
Hard to imagine the way it was

You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

I've heard people say that if they could
Do it all over again they never would
It's better to have loved someone and lost
Then, to have never loved at all

I am not afraid to give my heart
Even though you don't know I exist
Cause in my sleep you hold me close in the dark
A million times I've tasted your lips

You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

I'm saving myself for you
There is no wait long enough
Ain't no way I'm giving up
Maybe I'm a fool
But nothing makes me feel so right
Than dreaming about you at night

You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

POOR ME

Found it in his closet, right behind the lies
I wish I never saw it, the secret in his eyes
Poor me

He never told me how long, I'd been living in the dark
No one turned the light on, I fell and broke my heart
Poor me, poor me

Poor me this, poor me that
Why do I keep looking back
Poor me this, poor me that
It's not white, it's not black
Grey's the colour that I see
Still can't believe he'd leave me to love her
Pour me, another

Tried to face it, but so far down inside
I just can't shake it, my stupid pride
Poor me, poor me

Poor me this, poor me that
Why do I keep looking back
Poor me this, poor me that
It's not white, it's not black
Grey's the colour that I see
Still can't believe he'd leave me to love her
Pour me, another

I know it should get better
Oh but it never does
I wish he'd never met her
Then everything would be the way it was

Poor me this, poor me that
Poor me this, poor me that
Oh poor me this, poor me that
Why do I keep looking back
Poor me this, poor me that
It's not white, it's not black
Grey's the colour that I see
I still cant believe that he'd leave me, to love her

Poor me
Pour me, another

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO'S GONNA BE YOUR GIRL

I don't need to know just where you're going
You don't need to tell me where you've been
All we have is here and now and nothing in-between
Watching the nightfall, there goes the sun
Walking a sidewalk that comes undone

Who's gonna be your girl
When all of the boys are gone
Who's gonna stop the world
When living is no more fun
When will you wake up
From all of the dreams that you make up
And who's gonna be your girl tonight

When you leave to find yourself without me
I will keep the light on in my heart
Just in case you stop to think about me, in the dark
But you don't want nothing good to last
You fill op the fire in your glass

Who's gonna be your girl
When all of the boys are gone
Who's gonna stop the world
When living is no more fun
When will you wake up
From all of the dreams that you make up
And who's gonna be your girl tonight

You down the fire, it burns a hole
Deep inside you, feel so cold
I walk the wire but it falls away
I tried to find you, 'cause I love you babe

Who's gonna be your girl
When all of the boys are gone
Who's gonna stop the world
When living is no more fun
When will you wake up
From all of the dreams that you make up
And who's gonna be your girl tonight

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

MORE FUN

It's Monday and I hear you when you say you hate that day
Me too but there's nothing much about it we can do
Let's just get to

Countin' down the hours dreamin' of all of our favourite songs
We know the words by heart and we will shout and be singin' along
As loud as we like, Friday night

More fun is what we need
Every-one is on their feet
The weekend's here and all we want to do is be together
Get a little crazy and forget what happens later
We made it through the week, now we're headed to the street
More fun is what we need

One day we'll be sitting back laughing all about the times
We were doin' donuts in the parking lots and running lights
The time of our lives

Is here and now and yes we've got the power 'cause we know it all
We're just getting started open hearted, having a ball
Nothing but time, on our side

More fun is what we need
Every-one is on their feet
The weekend's here and all we want to do is be together
Get a little crazy and forget what happens later
We made it through the week, now we're headed to the street
More fun is what we need

The day was long but the night is young and we ain't got to worry
We're running' outta light but that's alright, no need to hurry
Morning such a long way away and we, we got all night to play

More run is what we need
Every-one is on their feet
The weekend's here and all we want to do is be together
Get a little crazy and forget what happens latter
We made it through the week, now we're headed to the street
Because more fun is what we need
More fun is all we need

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'M ALRIGHT

You let me go
You had to have her
You told me slow
I died faster
Than I could know, love would ever kill

You said take care
Don't be sad girl
Life's not fair
It's a mad world
But I'm not mad, I've already downed that pill

I broke down
All you did was stand there
Without a sound
It came from nowhere
The truth so loud
Oh my heart stood still

I was not your dream
The one you wanted
I tried to scream
But silence haunted
Me in my sleep
Oh and probably always will

I'm alive, I think I'm gonna be okay
I'm alright tonight
Oh I'm alive, I think I'm gonna be okay
I'm alright for now

No one comes undone the way I do
When it comes to you
And who knows, how close
I was to the end but I got back up again
Oh I'm still breathing
I'm alright, I'm all I'm all, gonna be okay
I'm alright, I'm alright. I'm gonna be I'm ma m'alright

I'm alive, I think I'm gonna be okay
I'm alright tonight
Oh I'm alive, I think I'm gonna be okay
I'm alright for now

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

LET'S KISS AND MAKE UP

Let's sit down and talk it over, take my shoulder tonight
Look at me and tell me what is on your mind, this time
Gonna stay here till you got
A smile on your face
I'm here no matter what
Everything else can wait

Let's kiss and make up now
Let's kiss and make love
Can't wait another minute
Let's go with this
Kiss me and let's make up now

Let's be honest let's be open we're not broken, not yet
It's not easy trying to please me
I'm not perfect, I know that I'm gonna stay here till you've got
A smile on your face
I'm here no matter what
Everything else can wait

Let's kiss and make up now
Let's kiss and make love
Can't wait another minute
Let's go with this
Kiss me and let's make up now

Talk to me, it's alright I'm open
Hold on tight, we're not broken, not broken
I know that we can do this
Come baby do it, right now

Let's kiss and make up now
Let's kiss and make love
Can't wait another minute
Let's go with this
Kiss me and let's make up now

Come on, kiss me and let's make up now
Kiss me and let's make up now

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING

'Case you never look back
I want you to know that you were loved like mad
I hope you live long enough, to change your mind

Where do you think you're going
I want to go with you, can I come too
Nobody knows you better
Nobody loves you quite like I do

'Case you ever look twice
Over your shoulder, know I'm on your side
If you ever open your eyes, even one more time

Where do you think you're going
I want to go with you, can I come too
Nobody knows you better
Nobody loves you quite like I do

I wish you the best
I hope you have it all
But if you should fall from grace
I'll be waiting at the bottom for you

Where do you think you're going
I want to go with you, can I come too
Nobody knows you better
Nobody loves you quite like I do

I do, love you

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROLL ME ON THE RIVER

Give me sugar when I'm feeling down
Play my favorites on the ride downtown
Love Me Tender, on the radio
Turn it louder, kiss me slow

Roll me on the river
Lay me in the sun
Love me like a giver
Give me some

Listen to me closer when I need your ear
You don't need to say a thing, just be here
Wake me with your wishes, chase me like a star
Follow me until we go too far

Roll me on the river
Lay me in the sun
Love me like a giver
Give me some

Hold me like a promise
Never give me up
Keep me like a secret in your cup

Sober as rain
Feeling no pain, I'm falling
From somewhere high, deep in your eyes I'm all in

Roll me on the river
Lay me in the sun
Love me like a giver
Give me some

Roll me on the river
Lay me in the sun
Love me like a giver
Give me some
Hold me like a promise
Never give me up
Keep me like a secret in your cup

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE GOT SOMETHING THEY DON'T

They may say we're done
That we will never win this one
But we know differently
They don't know you and they don't know me

We got something they don't
A fire burning deep in our bones
Smokin' when were away
On fire when we get home

Heres to hanging tough
When no one else believed in us
Cheers to staying strong
They gave up but we carried on

We got something they don't
A fire burning deep in our bones
Smokin' when were away
On fire when we get home

We got something they don't
Flame's so high, let's go wild
We're on fire, we're home, sweet home
Don't it taste good to be together

We got something they don't
A fire burning deep in our bones
Smokin' when were away
On fire when we get home

We got something (woo)
Don't it feel good
Yes this is our home
We got something they don't
We're on fire when we get home

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BECAUSE OF YOU

I'm independent to a fault, I know this well
But I finally found love, without losing myself
I'm so much happier sharing my life
All of the good things and bad things alike
I'm not afraid of the truth,
I'm not me without you

Because of you I'm me
All of a sudden I'm something I wasn't
Because of you I see
Everything I can be lonely is history
I know I am better, when we're together
Because of you, I'm me

There's nothing wrong with the world, oh when you smile
The most beautiful sound
I ever heard, is you breathing at night
When you're asleep and don't know I can hear
Sounds like an angel whispering in my ear
I don't know what I would do, if it wasn't for you

Because of you I'm me
All of a sudden I'm something I wasn't
Because of you I see
Everything I can be lonely is history
I know I am better, when we're together
Because of you, I'm me

I don't need you, the way a child needs a home
It's more like I'm free to, admit I'm not too proud, to say out loud
I am who I am 'cause you're part of me now

Because of you I'm me
All of a sudden I'm something t wasn't
Because of you I see
Everything I can be, lonely is history
I know I'm better, when we are together
Because of you. I'm me
Oh because of you, I'm me

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU CAN'T BUY LOVE

When life gives you lemons
They pour down from the heavens
This is what you've got to do
Make some lemonade
Drink it in the shade
Don't let a bad day get to you

You got no money to your name
But all you need is heart anyway
You can't buy love
But you can make it
You can't make sunshine
But you can make love

When you get suspicions
That someone wants your wishes
Even more than you do
Don't waste your time fighting
Better spend it finding
What you really want for you

You don't need money and you don't need fame
All you need is heart anyway

You got no money to your name
But all you need is heart anyway
You can't buy love
But you can make it
You can't make sunshine
But you can make love

You got no money to your name
But all you need is heart anyway
You can't buy love
But you can make it
You can't make sunshine
But you can make love

Without love we would he blind
There'd be no kindness in the world
There would be no girl
There'd be no boy
There would be no joy

You got no money to your name
But all you need is heart anyway
You can't buy love
But you can make it
You can't make sunshine
But you can make love

No you can't buy love
But you can make it
You can't make sunshine
But you can make love

I said you can't buy love
But you can make it
Oh you can't make sunshine
But you can make love

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIFE'S ABOUT TO GET GOOD

I wasn't just broken, I was shattered
I trusted you so much, you're all that mattered
You no longer loved me and I sang like a sad bird
I couldn't move on and I think you were flattered

Oh life's about joy, life's about pain
It's all about forgiving and the will to walk away
I'm ready to be loved and love the way I should
Life's about, life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good

The longer my tears fell, the wider the river
It killed me that you'd give your life to be with her
I had to believe that, things would get better
It was time to forget you, forever

Oh life's about joy, life's about pain
It's all about forgiving and the will to walk away
I'm ready to be loved and love the way I should
Life's about, life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good

Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good

It took me so long, to be strong
But I'm alive and I hold on
To what I can feel It hurts to heal
Oh when love lies

About to get good
About to get good
About to get... good

Oh life's about joy, life's about pain
It's all about forgiving and the will to walk away
I'm ready to be loved and love the way I should
Life's about, life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good

Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about to get good
Oh life's about joy, life's about pain
Life's about, life's about to get good

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLDIER

Don't close the door when you leave, it's cold out
I need to see the air when you breathe, and say out loud
That you'll be home soon, not to worry you're gonna hurry back

Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone
Has anybody seen my soldier, just trying to get home

You're not alone when you dream, I'm with you
I hear your heart when it beats, I feel it too
Sleep in peace, love is tender, please remember me

Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone
Has anybody seen my soldier, just trying to get home

Where did you go, my love
I need to know, you're safe
So many miles, between us
I need to see your face

Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone
Has anybody seen my soldier

Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone
Has anybody seen my soldier, just trying to get home
He's trying to get home

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALL IN ALL

Reached the top and started to cry
Heaven looked me in the eye
Afraid to jump but had to try
Exhaled then said goodbye
I'm flying, I'm flying

Always knew I had to go
Find the me I did not know
Who I'd be when I got old
Just how far the wind would blow
I'm sailing. I'm sailing

All in all this much is true
There's love and hate and they both burn
Peace and war, they take turns
All in all there's nothing new
I'm still myself but I've changed
Things I always thought were strange
Aren't that strange at all
All in all, all in all

God is older than I am
He knows where it all began
I tried to do the best I can
To see the truth from where I stand
I'm praying, I'm praying

All in all this much is true
There's love and hate and they both burn
Peace and war, they take turns
All in all there's nothing new
I'm still myself but I've changed
Things I always thought were strange
Aren't that strange at all
All in all, all in all

Oh all in all
