Know Your Name
something about the way it
it's been going down
trying not to notice what I think i've found
baby there's a song that you've been singing
i thin kit's just the sound of love in the air
when i see your face
makes me feel right
like a warm embrace
in the morning light
and I want to know
how it feels to love
now i'm saying it's time to share

i just want to know your name
show you how you make me feel
hoping that you feel the same
it's only love

oh, my my my
my my

something 'bout your
range of motion
you seem to give me love but I can't put down the doubt of my new emotion
it hits me when i want to get you close baby
yes i do, yes i do

when i see your face
makes me feel so right
like a warm embrace
in the morning light
girl you look so good
love to see you shine
now it's time to share

i just want to know your name
show you how you make me feel
hoping that you feel the same
it's only love

it's only love baby
it's only love baby
it's only love

i just want to know your name
show you how you make me feel
hoping that you feel the same
it's only love

hey, hey, hey, hey
and i feel like an ocean
and i want to be the one to be with you forever yes


Open Mind
I looking ?????????
I feel ?????????
You gotta ?????????
I believe ya

    you got so much to say
    i can see it in your eyes
    come on over and tell me
    i'll be waiting with an open mind

sometimes it makes me so confused
the way you got me moving, yes you can't understood
so much on your mind
i want to see you in a fashionable time

    you got so much to say
    i can see it in your eyes
    come on over and tell me
    i'll be waiting with an open mind

you got me feeling so right
you got me feeling so right

shoot me like a loaded gun


Leave A Little
I can't believe the little things that try to carry on
you won't believe the things that pass us by
I can't believe the absence of the life that you declined
but I hold you as it starts to fall apart

because you're telling me something
from way up on high
no one can hear you
so they can't deny
someone will love you
when you are in pain
I know that you'll tell me
you need me again

    take what you can but leave a little
    take anything you want
    take what you can but leave a little
    hope it will carry on

I won't be in the parking lot when they discover how
to get from you the wants and needs you crave
I need to pass the microphone to one to carry tune
it's a brighter slice of heaven so they say

    take what you can but leave a little
    take anything you want
    take what you can but leave a little
    hope it will carry on

Nothing Stays The Same
throw it all away
i'm waiting for a better day
listening for the thoughts to come
to guide me where i think i'll stay

i just want to know the truth
been waiting so long i've lost track and i'm feeling confused
i can't believe the sympathies
it's raining down and I can barely see

we keep living
nothing seems to change
we keep making promises
but we aren't even phased
how could i
stand here alone
with everyone i touch reminds me that i'm so heartbroken
nothing stays the same

i focus on your eyes
we walk stronger in our stride
glare into the emptiness
it's there's i learn to lose my pride
what do you want
giving it all away just to find myself
a word's never the end
i'm going to need more evidence

so we fall
slipping on our tears
reaching for the edges but they always disappear
this story, it needs a better end
with every word i try to write i seem to lose my clarity
and i want to say it all
forget about the time
but you just want to to
and i want to say it all
take you arms again and maybe we can fall into this moment
nothing stays the same

nothing stays the same
nothing stays the same
nothing stays the same

so we fall
slipping on our tears
reaching for the edges but they always disappear
this story, it needs a better end
with every word i try to write i seem to lose my clarity

oh and nothing seems to change
we keep making promises
but we aren't even phased
how could i stand before it all
and everyone i try to touch reminds me i'm so heartbroken
nothing stays the same


Start It Over
i want to know if it's beginning
cause if it is i am surprised
couldn't ever figure it out
and if you don't know what you're missing
you sure as hell ain't gonna change at all

someday you will get to know
before you dry it off again
wanted in the words of gods
never give it up to them
i just want to know if it's
stronger than the words of this
we cannot be the ones to lie
we cannot be the ones to fly

and if i had to start it over
would you believe it how it ends
and slowly i get older
i would believe in what you can

should you give into the ?????
cause there's so much i want to say ??????
is there ????
simple as the words, simple as the words
simple as the words that you're promising me
i never could have walked away
you kept me on the floor that way
but fortune never played into it
I can't believe the way you would doubt
because everyone is good
and no one want to take this life
from anyone who gives it up
shake it down
you tore it down
