Follow you in the shadow of your stride
I'd wait an hour just to see you smile
Should I chane all the pain
To reveal all I've contained?
Would you feel the way I do?
But if I was on fire
Would you notice?
And would you feel desire
If I showed it?
Would you notice?
I could wait for perfect words or circumstances
I listened in just to hear your name
All your loveliness that shines
Is the same as what's inside
Would you feel the same way too?
Someday soon
When it's me and you
I won't be the stranger
In your life
But if I was on fire
If I was on fire
Two year, eight months and four days since I've known love
For what it's worth
I'm finding it hard to believe that I'll find love
Upon this earth
Destiny calls on a life
As colors dim and fade
So simple and small
You're the flower that's yet to break the ground
Will I find you?
You're the song I've never written down
But I want to
Where are you now?
Restoring the pieces I gave to the hollow
Yielding no return
I'm beckoning back to the hope
That I followed a matter to be learned
Intimate woe is the friend
The empty evening brings
I let you go to dream again
With a soldier's stance
I wait for patient time
To come and bring you home
Bill of goods or just a fake tattoo
I bought everything to be like you
Emptied out and try to fill the hole
Weigh the value with and empty soul
Now I can see where-
The boundaries have no end
Trinidad and a DC-10
Bigger promise
A forgetful boy
Catch the theif of all the stolen joy
When the darkness breathes its final breath
Then the morning comes to rescue us
So we can be-
And I finally find significance
Giving up
I'm given all you are
I'm on a breakthrough
I won't desert you
I'm on a breakthrough-
Gonna fly with all my friends
Trinidad and a DC-10
Where the boundaries have no end
Will I be good enough tomorrow?
Would I be good enough today?
I gave back all the things I borrowed
But I couldn't clean up all my stains
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you
Bite my lip when I am bitter
As I wave goodbye to all my dreams
I'm hoping you will make me better
Stitching the tear within my seams
And it feels o.k.
When you mold this clay
And I know I'm made by you, yeah, by you
Where's the virtue in the waiting
When you slay me with your word
As all the light ablove is fading
The birds have flown
Still on the phone recounting
How the years have passed
Like winds the bring a change
You're moving on
I know you're strong enough
To learn the steps
To dance an unexpected waltz
Love is here again
Like a long lost friend
Walking up the path unto your door
Love is here again
To come and make amends
Awakening your soul
I heard you say
This brand new day
You're grateful for the second chance
As heaven smiles on you
Like the joining of two candles in the dark
It feels like striking gold again
Calling out
Calling me
Burning doubt
That you'll see
I needed you
I've learned how to be alone
But I don't want to be lonely
Every time I fall in love
It falls back on me
Every time I rise above
I'm pulled under seas
Holding on
Holding sleep
Greeting dawn
Counting sheep
To make it through
Growing up
Growing old
Learning how to be teachable
I believe I've been wrong
Flat on my back
Soak up the sun
Counting from zero up to one
And I like it, I like it
Can't understand a word he said
I'm humming along radiohead
But I like it, I like it
I'm floating away
On wings that I borrowed
I'm leaving today
Come back tomorrow
When I'm starting over
Cleaning the slate
And morning tea
High in the clouds above the seas
Is where I'll find it, I'll find it
Calling the race is much too soon
It's not int the start but follow through
And I'll find it, I'll find it
If seeing is believeing I would never make it alone
Sitting here counting the hours
Waiting for the sun to kiss the sea
Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers
They remind me of you and me
This one love in a lifetime
Our two hearts of a kind
These three reasons you'll be mine
For there's five or six ways through
Seven days without you
Seven days without you
Making plans just to stop the aching
Chasing thoughts from a million miles away
Hypnotized as another dawn is breaking
I rehearse the words I want to say
For when you and I will find a way until you're home
The darkest days have come and gone
Still you shine for me
With a fragile frame I carry on
'Cause with you I am free
You guard my teflon heart
'Cause then they take you apart
Deconstructing the pieces
Still lobbing the darts
While you're clogging the bleeding
And now you're starting to sway
And they won't go away
Until you swear you're perfecting the art
Of being perfect from now on
Perfect from now on
I learn the stance to win the fight
To balance what I do
I cling to you with all my might
You take the punches too
The round's about to start
When the music stats to fade
And I'm left without a friend who knows me
Here as the season brings a change
All the clouds and questions drift and disappear
It's so delightful
Watching the nightfall
After the dark and new day
Bulletproof glow shine again
For the city on angels
Ride it in on a helicopter stunt for free
Bulletproof glow shine on for the city of angels
Illuminate the sky and the heart of me
What's the purpose in the plan
With contempt they cut you down to make their case
Re-election close at hand
Running with the pleasure of Eric Liddell's face
What does it call gain as earth and the worm claim
Back to the place you belong
Bulletproof glow shine on for the city of angels
Illuminate the sky and the heart of me
They will not win
They will not win
They'll never break me
They will not win
Fireworks over disneyland
Airplane will you hold my hand?
Without you all the colors bland
And I can't fake it
Long drives up to pch
Sade sitting by the lake
Sunsets and the milkyway
So we can dream
Beautiful is not beautiful without you
Beautiful is not beautiful without you
Telluride and an afternoon hike
Big bear by the firelight
Thanksgiving and a movie night
When we can't sleep
84 to multinomah
Falls success I want to share it all
Vermont and the smell of fall
And life is grand
Beautiful is not beautiful without you
You asked me for my heart
But you didn't have you own
I'm back to where I start
An empty page alone
And I don't want to be the first to call
To show that I still care
'Cause every time we speak
I fall apart
You know you've got me there
But time will make it all feel better
Like salve upon a wound
You soon won't see
Time will erase the scars I've weathered
But as for now it only hurts
When I breathe
When I breathe
The pictures once on top
Are deeper in the drawer
Like promises we swapped
Were swept up off the floor
And I don't want to be the one you love
'Cause no one else is there
I was never good as runner-up
In races that aren't fair
Tarnished as this coin I found
Now how am I going to make it through
In the economy of pain
Ten percent what happens
And ninety how I react
They say don't sweat the small stuff
I guess I must have missed that class
I've never seen a hearse
Pulling a u-haul
God it's good to be alive
Between the earth, the sea and sky
Revolving like a record around the sun
Roll the windows down and see
If a lyric comes to me
From a major key to minor after dark
It's all been said and done
But the best is yet to come
Why the lovlies on the outside
Often aren't the same within
They see me swarving as I broadside
Now my single serving friends aren't here
I've never seen a hearse
Pulling a u-haul
I sent away for
An anti-jaded lotion
(José Luis Perales)
Te quiero tal y como eres, con todos tus defectos
Con todas esas dudas sobre mÃ.
Te quiero como nadie te ha querido.
Te quiero como el niño que hay en mÃ.
Te quiero tanto, que sólo entre tus brazos soy capaz de sentir amor.
Y hay sólo una razón.
Te quiero, y es todo lo que puedo comprender. Te quiero tanto.
Te busco en la penumbra triste y gris de mi habitación.
Y sueño con tener tu corazón.
Yo sé que soy una moneda, que va de mano en mano
Sin un lugar seguro donde estar.
Pero es que mi locura es otra cosa.
Es extender mis alas y volar.
Te quiero tanto, que lucho por llenar mi soledad pensando en ti.
Te sueño junto a mÃ. Te quiero. Y espero que me ayudes a vivir.
Te quiero tanto, que cada dÃa paso sin querer hablando de ti.
Te quiero porque quiero ser feliz.
Te quiero tanto, que sólo entre tus brazos soy capaz de sentir amor.
Y hay sólo una razón.
Te quiero y es todo lo que puedo comprender. Te quiero tanto.
Te busco en la penumbra triste y gris de mi habitación.
Y sueño con tener tu corazón.
Te quiero, y es todo lo que puedo comprender.
Te quiero tanto, que cada dÃa paso sin querer hablando de ti.
(Roque Narvaja)
El reloj sonó y nos despertó con el sol en la ventana.
Como puedo, me deshago de la almohada.
Llega el diario de hoy, publicado ayer con noticias de mañana
No podré desayunar con estas ganas.
Aún está caliente nuestra cama y al pasar
Despiertas a la casa y al amor.
Te agradezco por todos tus secretos a mi aliento
Por todos tus deseos en silencio, por hacerme un hombre de verdad.
Te agradezco por todos esos años frente al miedo
Por todas tus palabras de consuelo, por todo lo que aún me vas a dar.
Guerra en la ciudad al buscar al pan, a intentar abrir las puertas
Como puedo, me defiendo las respuestas.
Llego a casa y tú llegarás después con el niño del colegio.
Tras la puerta, te recibo con un beso, la comida espera en la cocina.
(José Luis Perales)
Acabo de soñarte una vez más, tendida junto a mÃ
jugando con mi piel acariciándome, mirándome, diciéndome, te quiero
Y yo edificaba sin parar castillos de papel
pensando solo en ti acariciándote, besándote, gritándote, te quiero
Y desperté y vi que en mi ventana lentamente amanecÃa el dÃa
Te imaginé y quise construir aquel momento cuando fuiste mÃa
Y te amé y el blanco de mi almohada profané pensando solo en ti
Acabo de soñarte una vez más, pensando en volver de nuevo junto a mÃ
Y recorrer mi piel, un dÃa más diciéndome, te quiero
Y desperté y vi que en mi ventana lentamente amanecÃa el dÃa
Te imaginé y quise construir aquel momento cuando fuiste mÃa
Y te amé y el blanco de mi almohada profané pensando solo en ti
Y desperté y vi que en mi ventana lentamente amanecÃa el dÃa
Te imaginé y quise construir aquel momento cuando fuiste mÃa

Me bebo la penúltima cerveza sin respirar.
Me lanzo calle abajo y voy buscándote, sin buscar.
No aguanto en casa solo, sin nada que hacer.
Hablándole al espejo, tomando café, sin ideas y sin interés.
Sin, sin, sin amor me siento libre, pero algo me falta porque
Sin, sin, sin amor, se hacen las noches eternas
Y el cuerpo pide alguien a su lado, bienaventurado
Pero aquà me tiene sin amor.
Sin, sin, sin amor me siento libre, pero algo me falta porque
Sin, sin, sin amor, se hacen las noches eternas
Y el cuerpo pide alguien a su lado, bienaventurado
Pero aquà me tiene sin amor.
Me traigo a casa chicas delirantes, pero da igual.
Despierto entre sus brazos y me aburro. Me siento mal.
Son besos que se borran por puro placer.
Palabras como el humo, hacer por hacer.
Sólo son suspiros de mujer.
Sin, sin, sin amor me siento libre, pero algo me falta porque
Sin, sin, sin amor, se hacen las noches eternas
Y el cuerpo pide alguien a su lado, bienaventurado
Pero aquà me tiene sin amor.
No aguanto en casa solo sin nada que hacer
hablándole al espejo, tomando café, sin ideas y sin interés.
Sin, sin, sin amor me siento libre, pero algo me falta porque
Sin, sin, sin amor, se hacen las noches eternas
Y el cuerpo pide alguien a su lado, bienaventurado
Pero aquà me tiene sin amor.
Sin, sin, sin amor me siento libre, pero algo me falta porque
Sin, sin, sin amor, se hacen las noches eternas
Y el cuerpo pide alguien a su lado, bienaventurado

Es la piel tostada bajo el sol
El paso dulce en el salón, es la palabra en un rincón.
Es el blanco vuelo de un avión
La flor que nace sin querer, la mano presa al corazón.
Es la voz que enciende cada luz
Cuando la luz no quiere estar iluminando mi razón.
Es el cuento que no tiene fin
Ese capÃtulo que yo no me he atrevido a concluir.
Es todas las cosas que tú ves, es la cabeza y es los pies.
Es un animal, un mineral, es el principio y el final.
Es simplemente esa mujer que es imposible de olvidar.
Es una figura de satén
Que no hace ruido al caminar, que va flotando en vez de andar.
Es la golondrina y el halcón
El precipicio y el volcán, la sinrazón y la razón.
Es todas las cosas que tú ves, es la cabeza y es los pies.
Es un animal, un mineral, es el principio y el final.
Es simplemente esa mujer que es imposible de olvidar.
Es todas las cosas que no soy.
Es la carretera que no va, es el quiero darte y no te doy.
Esa maldad que no es maldad
Esa mujer que no es mujer, esa verdad que es la verdad.
Es todas las cosas que tú ves, es la cabeza y es los pies.
Es un animal, un mineral, es el principio y el final.
Somebody pinch me,
I don't believe just what I'm hearing
And I'm dying to find out just what it means
You feed me, all these little lies
To see me, react to the surprise,
Spit it out, all underneath the guise
That you're trying to protect me
The truth is easier to handle than this mouthful
Why not cut between these fingers
If you want me to read between the lines
Face me, until the day we die I will think
That I alone was the reason for this
When I broke my body for the lies,
You were just wasting my time
And this heart, is beating for a rhythm we were all
once moving to
You risked it all the day you got loose
The truth is easier to handle than this mouthful
Why not cut between these fingers
If you want me to read between the lines
Between the lines
Why don't you cut between these fingers?
Between the lines
The truth is easier to handle than this mouthful
The truth is easier to handle than this mouthful
Why not cut between these fingers
If you want me to read between the lines
I was lying, alone
With memories of long ago
My company when I'm my weakest,
Here I am dying
You hold this in front of me
And I promise I'll fight with all I am
Didn't they tell you I'm a sucker for the dangerous?
Everything was so clear
Dying was safe, and weakness was easy
But I find my strength when you try to break me
You turn your back on me,
But you were always part of my life
Whenever you reach for me,
I will fight with all the strength I have inside...
Ah...
(Ah...)
The gun's in my hands, and I'm on the front line,
The sun is setting, I scream into the sky
It rings out in the air, this is the war cry
I look in the mirror, tears melt the war stripes
And you will hear me, this is my war cry
I look in the mirror, tears melt the war stripes
You will hear me, this is the war cry
You and I, I had it all worked out,
We were young but we had our feet on the ground,
Then you had to turn it upside down, suddenly
You'd tell me I'm your princess,
And on the surface it seemed correct,
When you took me out to show your friends,
We were so perfect, tell me what's perfect
Because when you took me home, it was so outta control,
I wanna get out of here tonight, and I'm sorry if you
wanna fight
I won't cry, 'coz you, you're not worth my tears,
And tonight I'm getting out of here,
'Coz tonight, tonight, it feels so right, tonight,
I wanna come alive for the first time
I've got a hold of my life, I wanna know what that
feels like
It's a shame I couldn't turn around once more,
And come crawling back to your front door,
But I'm sick of being left outside,
Shouldn't there be a doormat where I'm
Sitting? I think something just kicked in, and I think
it's time I left this
House full of lullabies, and lies, oh, whoa
I won't say sorry for the times I listened to your
alibis,
And hid as tears fell from my eyes, but no, not for you
tonight
I won't cry, 'coz you, you're not worth my tears,
And tonight I'm getting out of here,
'Coz tonight, tonight, it feels so right, tonight,
I wanna come alive for the first time
I've got a hold of my life, I wanna know what that
feels like
Oh, what I thought, and what we were
I swore that I'd never let this happen
Never thought I would learn this lesson
No you're never gonna mess with me again
No, never again
'Coz I didn't see how much pain I was in
I didn't see that I was sinking
Hate to think someone's going through that again,
I wanna just forget about it
I didn't see how much pain I was in
I didn't see that I was sinking
I won't be doing that again
No, no, not again
You won't see me, tonight,
I don't wanna see you, tonight
Oh...
I won't cry, 'coz you, you're not worth my tears,
And tonight I'm getting out of here,
'Coz tonight, tonight, it feels so right, tonight,
I wanna come alive for the first time
I've got a hold of my life, oh...
I remember when I thought I'd never be good enough
And dreaming wasn't gonna get me far, I stood up
And decided I should try, before I said goodbye
I don't know who I'd be without you in my life
We thought for sure we'd never see these heights
How did we ever get it right?
And when I wake up here tomorrow
I'll still be grateful for this life
We've only come so far; we've still got plenty to go
And fighting for it is the only way that we know
And we climb, and we fall, and we reach, and we slip,
But we keep pulling through 'coz it's all we can do
It's all we wanna do now
We thought we'd never see these heights
How did we ever get it right?
And when I wake up here tomorrow
I'll still be grateful for this life
I mean it when we can't seem to get ahead
Do you mean it when we hit another dead end
And even when, it's doing my head in
I mean it when, I say I'll give it all I have
I still mean it
I always mean it
We thought for sure we'd never see these heights
And if this is our last time
Then photographs will still remind me
Manhã no peito de um cantor
Cansado de esperar só
Foi tanto tempo que nem sei
Das tardes tão vazias por onde andei
Luciana, Luciana
Sorriso de menina, dos olhos de mar
Luciana, Luciana
Abrace essa cantiga por onde passar
Nasceu na paz de um beija-flor
Em verso, em voz de amor, já
Desponta os olhos da manhã
Pedaço de uma vida que abriu-se em flor
Luciana, Luciana
Sorriso de menina, dos olhos de mar
Luciana, Luciana
Abrace essa cantiga por onde passar
I see you standing over there
Cocktails and fingers through your hair
How about that
You like it like that
And poor boy seems so taken in
But I know your games are wearing thin
How about that
You like it like that
Still lighting up your dirty storms
Still laughing at all the same jokes
How about that (yeah)
You like it like that
Doesn't matter what you have to say
This ships already sailed away
Chorus
I don't really give a damn
Go and find another man
I don't wanna try and make it better
Never thought I'd let you go
Wasn't easy now I know
I don't think I could feel any better
So here's your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
So here is your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
No need for desperate alibies
You've always sucked at telling lies
How about that
What you think about that
Your still the queen of wannabes
Your mum will bring you to your knees
Chorus
Your tears they won't miss me
Your eyes they won't see me
Your lips will never kiss me
Your arms will never hold me
You thought I was the one but now I'm gone!
