for a long time, I did not believe in anything I could not see always looking for some kind of proof but i'm out here now, and I'm digging deep and i'm finding things I never thought could be so maybe what you said was kind of true. so afraid of letting go too afraid to let you know how afraid I was. but I jumped off the edge, fell right in and it feels so good, I'm gonna jump again forgetting all about what used to be. cause it all has a name and this kind of love is the same as it's always been and it always will be middle tide, it ain't for me. gimmie low and gimmie high cause I have everything I need and I will until I die will it still be good? will it all work out? asks the voice inside my head but all that is is just a voice it ain't me and what I said. but it all has a name. this kind of love is the same as it's always been. always will be. you never know how closed you are until you come upon a key and nothing ever fits quite right without your missing puzzle piece maybe it's too late for us, maybe we're too far gone but right now, you're here with me and all we can do is take our time taking our time having a good time, one day at a time cause it all has a name. this kind of love is the same as it's always been and it always will be

running away 03:48
when i wake in the morning and i see your face, i feel like i when i take my first breath whispering in your ear, i know that i have finally escaped all of that pain and all of the things I cannot change sometimes running away is the only way sometimes running away is the only way feels kinda strange starting over again but nobody's ever had a touch like him he loves me like today is the only one cause he's seeing something already begun and I see it too I feel her in the room but you can escape all of that shame and all of the bottles yet to drain sometimes running away ain't the only way sometimes running away ain't the only way you gotta love you like I love you you gotta tell me how I can help you cause I can't see how deep they are but I know they run right through your heart this love can heal anything this love will heal everything when i wake in the morning and i see your face, i know that i when i take my first breath whispering in your ear, i feel like i finally escaped all of that pain and all of the things I cannot change looks like running away was the only way feels like running away was the only way

when the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls and the stars begin to flicker in the sky through the mist of a memory you wander back to me breathing my name, with a sigh in the still of the night once again I hold you tight though you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams and as long as my heart will beat lover, we'll always meet here in my deep purple dreams in the still of the night once again I hold you tight though you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams and as long as my heart will beat lover, we'll always meet here in my deep purple dreams here in my deep purple dreams

where will the oceans go if they die, all alone without a voice of their own where did the prairie go when he died, all alone without a buffalo to roam where did the sky go when she died, all alone after all the breezes blown where did the soil go when he died, all alone after all the seeds he'd sown where will the oceans go if they die, all alone without a voice of their own where will the people go if they die all alone after a fight with their home

what do I do 03:37
what do I do with how I feel how do I make it into something real all that i know is i know nothing at all how do I let go of what I cannot hold? child eyes are mine cause all i see is good in everyone everywhere they tell me that i should not trust all I hear oh but I do I do show me who you are it doesn't matter where you been i cannot just let you be i only want to know you when you're trembling cause that's me it's me it just takes one time brother it just takes one kiss lover and you'll have to choose for another and I don't wanna choose put it all away forget about all those words he said to you they didn't mean all that you thought they meant to him oh is that true? how could it be true? it just takes one time brother it just takes one kiss lover and you cannot choose your other it will choose for you what do you do with how you feel how do you make it into something real all that i know is i know nothing at all how do I let go of what I cannot hold? What do you do?

today was the first day that I missed you today was the first day that I saw my life without you in my life without you in my life without you don't wanna go back even though I am afraid don't wanna be trapped by the choices that I make and we were never meant to last forgive all of the bad times they have passed *imagine a lead break here: violin??* only courage I never had to treat you with respect never said what I really wanted what did you expect i was trying not to hurt you by ripping at your heart was it worse to give you nothing or take it all today was the first day that I missed you today was the first day that I saw my life without you in my life without you in my life without you in my life
