“Let the world come rush inCome down hard, come crushingAll I need is right here beside meI'n not enough, I swear itBut take my love and and wear it over your shoulders”
“And if you say we'll be alrightI'm gonna trust you, babeI'm gonna look in your eyesAnd if you say we'll be alrightI'll follow you into the light”
“Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter nowOoh, who I was without you, I can do withoutNo one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling downBut I'm here with you nowI'm with you now”
“In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricaneNot a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rainBeating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to youFrom the moment I knewFrom the moment I knew”
“All the colorsOf the rainbowHidden 'neath my skinHearts have colorsDon't we all know?Red runs through our veinsFeel the fire burning upInspire me with bloodOf blue and greenI have hopeInside is not a heartBut a kaleidoscope”
“And so here we go bluebird,Back to the sky on your own.Oh, let him go bluebird,Ready to fly,You and I,Here we go.Here we go.”
“We can understand the sentiment you're saying to usOh,But sensible sells so could you kindly shut upAnd get startedAt keeping your part of the bargain aw pleaseLittle darlin'You're killing me sweetly with love love love loveLove love love love”
“Does anybody know how to hold my heartHow to hold my heart?'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soonI want to tell you so before the sun goes darkHow to hold my heart'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you”
“But you neither friend nor foe, though I can't seem to let you go, the one thing that I still know is that your keeping me DOWN!”
“Set me free, leave me be, I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity, here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be, but your onto me, your all over me.”
“You hold me without touch, keep me without chains, never wanted anything so much, then to drown in your love, and not feel your rain”
“Your a lovely creation, I'd like to think that I am too. My friends said I look better with out you.”
“You love the chase, but hate me for the run around”
“Here's a simplification of everything I'm going through: You + Me is bad news.”
“So you dare tell me who to be”
“You loved me cause I'm fragile. But I thought that I was strong. Well, you touch me for a little while, and all my fragile strength is gone!”
“Started as a flicker, meant to be a flame. Skin has gotten thicker, but it burns the same. Still a baby in a cradle, got to take my first fall...baby's getting next to nowhere with her back against the wall.”
“Something always brings be back to you, it never takes too long”
