Got To Be This Way

In my imagination, you’re standing right next to me
Your face open like a flower, you’re talking so naturally
But I can’t hear those words that you say
I know it’s got to be this way, or so they say.
At the back of my recollection, here in my wildest dreams
Was that time I knew so well, the girl in the magazine
The one you brought me home that day
It’s got to be this way,
Got to be this way, or so they say.
Don’t know if I can live without you
Just seeing if I’m still dreaming, the way it has to be
If seeing can be believing, I believe so totally
Try and keep all your thoughts on, that what you want to be
And I know that I’ll hear those words that you say
It’s got to be this way, got to be this way, got to be this way.

High Time
03:38
|

|
It feels like I've been waiting for such a long time for you
I can see my life flash before me, but what else can I do?
So if you hear my throat clearing, if you hear my song.
I'm hoping that it's good enough,
So you'll want to come and sing along.
Sometimes it seems I'm invisible, I feel just like a ghost.
I'm the man who haunts your house,
And the places you visit the most.
But if you fell my heart beating, or feel my pulse,
You'll know that I am driven by desire,
I'm the one who wants you the most.
And it's high time, you gave your love to me.
Yes it's the right time, if only you could see.
So it's high time, yes it's the right time.
I don't see the problem,
I'm scared it's never meant to be.
Why can't I accept the fact that you don't want to play.
Maybe I should give it up, and then just walk away.
But when I see you smiling at some thing that I've said.
When I hear you talk to me, I can't believe it's dead.
And it's high time, you gave your love to me.
Yes it's the right time, if only you could see.
So it's high time, yes it's the right time.
I don't see the problem,
I'm scared it's never meant to be.
So it's high time.

If You Could Only See
03:23
|
|||
|
My fingers hold no plectrum,
See them stretch out, see them beckon
Communication, without speaking,
Leaves me breathless, feel me freaking
Out on you, as I feel you next to me.
And I want you, if only you could see.
Your eyelids still flutter,
Like a dance with no structure
Separation, without meeting,
Churns my feelings, however fleeting
I see it all in a different light tonight
And I believe in love, thought I'd never get it right.
My innocence incenses me, I'm losing all my mind
Your deference references me, But only when I find.
I'm falling down on you, Falling down on you
It's getting late now, I should hurry,
But then you tell me, no need to worry
If I can't see you, how can I reach you,
Trusting my instincts, that's what you would do
When you're not here, the lights go dim, you hold the key
And I want you, if only you could see.

Take Your Chance
03:12
|
|||
|
I can sympathise with everything you say
Despite my attitude when I saw you yesterday
And do you like it when I hold you at night?
We can play our dreams in the darkness.
So take your chance
As you take my hand.
I will never believe
That you don't understand.
Is it so difficult, well what more can I say?
It's this indifference, it holds you in its sway.
So when you hear me calling out for you,
Please let me know how I can reach you.
So take your chance
As you take my hand.
I will never believe
That you don't understand.

Through This Night
03:32
|

|
If we get through tonight, if we get through,
If I can't find you tonight, I may not know what to do.
Like a star, you're hanging there in the sky
Across a million miles, you're shining down from on high
But there are times, when I get mad,
I think you know, then I feel bad
It seems so selfish to let things show
But if I didn't how would you know?
My love is true tonight, my love's for you
And I hope you'll see this in all the things I do.
Can we be free tonight, can we break through?
So take some time, to discover the way,
Your senses can grow, each and every day.
Or align your touch, to the signs that you see – the way's in your mind.
To find out where we've gone wrong, we have to be so very strong
And not turn away when things get tough,
Or we'll never ever live long enough
And you'll awake, one day reborn
You'll rise up, all on your own.
Just feel a sense, of where your life could be
In these distorted times… who knew?
I feel complete tonight, hope you do too.
So let's get through this night

Your Eyes Are My Sun
04:13
|

|
Pull back the curtains darling, let the sunshine in
Put away your winter clothes, let the spring begin.
And if you didn't know, the morning light will see you right
And dreams you may have had, will fill your eyes in front of me.
Bask in the glow, a warm breeze that will set you free
How soon you will know, you can be what you want to be.
Knee-deep in bluebells baby as we walk through the wood
See how they quiver in the wind, like a stormy sea
And let your eyes of brown show me your passion deep
And our love will endure, together this hill is never steep.
Come rest in my arms, focus now on this point in time
Think only of love, and feel the yearning in this heart of mine.
Your eyes are my sun, yours tears are my rain,
Your open arms guide me home again.
Your hair form my trees, your breath is my wind,
Your smile, is my victory
Your eyes are my sun, your tears are my rain
Your open arms guide me home again.
Your lips are my friend, your cheeks a pillow
Your smile, it seems, makes me complete

Don't Let Go
04:17
|
|||
|
I thought that our love was so special,
Something I'd really waited for.
But recently I fear the future,
It seems our love may be no more.
Is this the start of some sad ending,
I've seen the yearning in your eyes
Now I'm beginning to get worried,
I've seen you look at other guys
But please don't let go, keep holding on,
I don't want to know, our love has gone
Don't let the joy turn to tears,
After so many good years
We've been together such a long time,
And we were happy all the while
But now I think there's something missing,
Whatever happened to your smile
You know I'll love you wherever you are
I hope we're together, forever in time
So please don't let go, keep holding on.
I want you to see, our love is strong
Don't let our love fall apart, let's try to make a new start.

Time, Time, Time
03:25
|

|
There you go running around in your dreams again
And if I knew what's in your mind I'd probably run
If you don't know the truth then I will tell you
But it's too late to know what I should do.
And what about all those little tricks you play
From breakfast time and on and on right through the day
Just like a fool I'm lost under your spell
You've let me in but now I don't feel so well
Time, time, time,
You're telling me it's gonna be some
Time, time, time,
'Til I get what I really want
There you go storming around your room again
And I can hear the sound of your car out in the lane
Don't know what I can do to hold you
Got a feeling it's too late to know what I should do

Way Out West
04:22
|
|||
|
Drove my car way out west, far beyond my normal points of view
Couldn't turn the car around - I thought a lot about you.
Found the motorway so easily tonight
The midnight traffic has never been so light
A coffee stop at 3am from a roadside trailer van
The driving rain still going strong, as I hit the road again
Big blue signs are flashing by as I ride along
But I don't need directions now, I know which road,
I know which road I'm on,
And I'm driving through the night,
To chase my dreams until the morning light
Driving through the night, for you
It's hard to comprehend you're not here by my side
Maybe one day I'll understand the reason for it all
Ran out of fuel at 6am, in a lonely leafy lane
I left the car and wandered on, clear sky's replaced the rain
The last few miles are laid out here ahead
And now the sun is rising in a sky of, a sky of burning red.
I'm driving through the night,
To chase my dreams until the morning light
Driving through the night, for you
It's hard to comprehend you're not here by my side
I lift the lid, I tilt the box, and let the contents flow free
And we'll go driving through the night,
And chase our dreams in the morning light
Driving through the night, for you.
Yeah we're driving through the night,
To your favourite place in the morning light
Driving through the night, for you
It's hard to comprehend you're not here by my side
Maybe one day I'll understand the reason for it all
Drove my car way out west, I couldn't turn around.

Not Like Before
03:50
|
|||
|
I made my way upstairs, I didn't know what I'd find
All kinds of crazy dreams were spinning through my mind
Meeting you, in that club, that night
Hoping it would, turn out just right.
We'd never met before, that didn't seem to worry you
Not sure I felt the same, I didn't know what to do
So I lost control of my thoughts and my words
I opened my mouth, it all came out so absurd.
You know it's true, that I miss you, still you never come around
I'm feeling blue, that much is true, still you never come around
It's not like before, it's not like before.
Lying there in the afterglow, I thought it must be love
Poor judgement on my part, as a push turned to a shove
Right out that door, and back into the night
No way back in, and you turned off all the lights.

Tell Me Now
04:29
|
|||
|
If you’re looking for shelter, somewhere it can’t be found,
You may have reached a place, that no-one else is thinking of.
If you need to drop your bags, lighten up your load.
You can do it right here, right now, come in out of the road
So tell me now, if there's anything
I can do for you, at this point in time
So tell me now what you need from me,
To make your day, make you feel OK, and to hear you say, I do
If you're looking for an ally, someone to call your own,
Have you tried my open arms? It could be just what you need.
Sunrise opens out in your eyes, leaves a yearning feeling in my mind
Something I've known for years, it's hard to capture your dreams.
Your life has been so hard, but now you're here with me,
Now you have the freedom, to be just who you want to be.

Just Like A Dream
04:21
|
|||
|
I found my way, back into your arms
Where the sun shone down, on the beach beneath the palms
I felt your hair, as it brushed against my face.
Touched your skin, but did I leave a trace?
My mind's confused, can you help me please?
Am I here or there, on the grass or in the trees?
(like a ball that'll never be found)
You unhooked me from my dreams the other night
But now you're back, and you're holding me so tight.
Chorus
Have I really nothing to fear, as I imagine the scene?
The sun in my eyes, your words in my ears,
And it feels just like a dream.
