To make me believe
Stay with me

When we were lovers

Love ain’t love until you feel it
Up riding high amongst the waves

I wish I was the verb ‘to trust’ and never let you down

You Are

I am the shoreline, but you’re the sea

Thin Air

It’s not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving in both directions
How to be happy and true
Is the quest we’re taking on together

She lies and says she still loves him, can’t find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man

On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I’ll go
And I said that I’ll call out again

Throw Your Arms Around Me

I will make you laugh, I’ll make you cry
And we may never forget it

Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream I’ve dreamt about you

She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her eyes

You are a part of my heart
But tonight
You belong to me

Longing to belong
To you
