1. Perfectly Beautiful
If right now the clocks could stop
On this moment that I've got
As you take my hand
You make everything so clear
Your the reason why I'm here
In a life built of sand
You light up my days so bright
Burn a whole in daylight
You, perfectly beautiful
It's true, beautifully perfect
In all that you do
Such a perfect beauty, you
See the world through your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
The old is new again
There aint no formula, no sum
No recipe or rule of thumb
To explain how I feel
Your innocence reaches the sky
Your purity a butterfly
You, perfectly beautiful
It's true, beautifully perfect
In all that you do
such a perfect beauty, you X2

2. Follow Me
It took a little bit of getting over it
You told yourself you could take a hit
You bought a leap of faith, it was a hopeless case
Felt the fool that you took the bait
I'll carry your weight
Follow me
I swear that I won't let you go
Follow me
I'll pull you from the undertow
Follow me
Let's take this river where it flows
When you're surrounded by a dark and gloomy sky
Feels like the wells are running dry
Maybe you’re on a ledge afraid to take a leap
Shaken and thinking words are cheap
Just give me some time
Follow me
I swear that I won't let you go
Follow me
I'll pull you from the undertow
Follow me
Let’s take this river where it flows
I know
In time
It’ll show
When it's love
Trust grows
Follow me

3. You and I
I like oh, how you say my name
I like you more, than an ice hockey game
And I like you more than music, films with John Cusak, or a night out with friends
And I like you more than fresh bread, or Benjamin Franklins, or long weekends
There's a song, in the air every time you're near
Hits the heart, I swear, whenever you're here.
The two of us just keep getting better
You and I look so good together
It's not a complicated plot
Happy days are here forever
Doesn't matter what the type of weather
Gonna give you all I got
I don't like it when I wake up alone
I don't like it when I'm hanging up the phone
I don't like chick flicks or cherry chapsticks unless I'm with you
And I don't like tofu as much as you do
The two of us just keep getting better
You and I look so good together
It's not a complicated plot
Happy days are here forever
Doesn't matter what the type of weather
Gonna give you all I got
But you know we've come so far
And the road it's not so hard!

4. Every Sunrise
It couldn't hurt if we just try it
Drink from a cup that is half full
who knows
It couldn't hurt if you let me guide you
Fill your house with peace and serenity
If you please
Every Sunrise
Paint our stories in the skies
Every Sunrise
I could guide you cross an uncharted future
Across this ever expanding universe
Every Sunrise
Paint our stories in the skies
Every Sunrise
I'll sail the ocean of your stormy eyes
I don’t ever want to see you walk away
I don’t ever want to see you cry.
Don’t cry...
Chorus

5. I feel Nothing Now
Today the sky was gray
And tonight the stars are hidden
And the food has lost its taste
And all the calls I get unbidden
In here
I feel nothing now
In here
I feel nothing now
I remember then
I could say it straight with no faken
I'd breathe in the air
Fill my lungs, so intoxicating
_______________________________
6. It Can Be Yours
Watch the sunset on a empty beach
It can be yours, it can be yours
Lying on our backs watching shooting stars
It can be yours, it can be yours
I could write a love song from the heart
It can be yours, it can be yours
Pull you out of the rain and into the sun
It can be yours, it can be yours
Every single day, I want the chance to spend it with you
Won't lead you astray
Open all these closed doors
Call me plan A
It can be yours
We could dance late into the night
It can be yours, it can be yours
A shoulder to cry on, if you like
It can be yours, it can be yours
Bridge
Just around the corner I see a life with you
I can take you higher than you ever thought true
Every single day, I want the chance to spend it with you
Won't lead you astray
Open all these closed doors
Call me plan A
It can be yours
7. Tears Carved in Stone
Make them laugh, you'll get time and a half, they'll be there for you
Share a smile and in a while in the arms of someone new
But if you constantly unconsciously preach your woes
It won't be long before, they can't take no more lows
Laugh and the world laughs along with you
Cry and you cry alone
Sing and your voice will echo through the air
Weep and it's just wind blown
Tears carved in stone
When you're happy, friends are plenty, an endless supply
Sing a tune, and they will soon be by your side
But if you sigh even money can't buy you nectared wine
So your keep chin up, find your pick-me-up and shine
Have a feast and to say the least your halls will be full
Spread your wealth and good bill of health and life won't be dull
Drink by yourself and no one else and your bottle gets dry
And when you fast it's a gloomy forecast and the world goes by
Laugh and the world laughs along with you
Cry and you cry alone
Sing and your voice will echo through the air
Weep and it's just wind blown
Tears carved in stone
Loneliness will be your home

8. Dead Lines
Sat down this evening,
With a bottle of red, a pen and my guitar
To write, a love song about you and all that I think that you are
And outside, the moon comes up and the cold and the quiet creep in
So I write, word after word in clichés, the ultimate sin
They won't hold back the winter
These metaphors
They're riddled with holes
And they've all been said before
Dead lines
Roll 'cross this page
Saying nothing about how I feel about you
Tired words
From a weary mind
I gotta give you something more than this
You're Sunday mornings, your breakfast in bed
Always the first one to enter my head
You're every love song, you're like the spring
You're like all the sweet things
They won't hold back the seasons
These metaphors
They're riddled with holes and they've all been said before

9. Gonna Have Days
Got up on the wrong side
Slipped and hit my head
Then to top it off
Stubbed my toe on the bed
Dang, I'm running late
Coffee’s gotten cold
Mutt's waiting for his walk
And today I'm feeling old
You're gonna have days where things can get messy
Where you'd rather be alone
You're gonna have days when it's never easy
You need a strong backbone
Wife is yelling at me
“Don’t forget our plan”
Kids fighting in the kitchen
I only got two hands!
The bathroom sink needs fixing,
Everyone tells me so
Just another headache
At this dog and pony show
You're gonna have days and things can get messy
Where you'd rather alone
You're gonna have days when it's never ever easy
You need a strong backbone
Bridge
Need a recess, take a deep breath
Chalk it up as life
Can't all be perfect, some a train wreck
Some stab like a knife
Always forgetting something
Can’t get out the door
The day hasn’t started yet
And it's already a chore
You're gonna have days and things can get messy
Where you'd rather alone
You're gonna have days when it's never ever easy
You need a strong backbone

10. You Stole My Cool
What can I say
To those that know me well
I know what they're thinking
It's not hard to tell
Should have seen the signs
As they were rushing past
Right there in my face, blinded by the blast
Everything I want
Just drove out of town
And yet it's me who is standing here breaking down
You're everything I need
Is bending all my rules
You came and went and with you, you stole my cool
Quiet house noise
Where conversation lived
Nothing here but empty
My cool's got nothing to give
Everything I want
Just drove out of town
And yet it's me who is standing here breaking down
You're everything I need
Is bending all my rules
You came and went and with you, you stole my cool
I can't believe you’re no longer here
You left my morning coffee cold
But that's not the only thing you left
Everything else is gone,
Fading into the distance
You drive away
I can see the review mirror
I catch his eyes, in the gray

11. Road to London
Everyone said she's gonna be the one to put this village on the map
Everywhere that she ever went they would lift her up in their hands
Every day a shiny medal wrapped around her neck,
There were no records left unbroken
Even though she never really listened, no was no praise was left unspoken
And every day marched on the same
Like an army they were coming
And when she looked up to the hills she could almost see
Her life unfold in London
When he walked into school everybody felt like they all were in some American movie
With the half smile and those sad eyes that all of the girls like
No one ever said they didn't see it coming they were predictable as spring
The sun was bright on their wedding day all of the bells, they were singing
But every day marched on the same
And the army was setting up their tents now
And when she looked behind the hills
She could see one day she'd be dancing in London
He never hit the bottle and he never turned mean
She had nothing to complain about
But the weight of expectation in everybody's eyes
Was like an anvil in her gut
Every now and then she'd see some friend who'd just come home
And they'd tell their tales of wonder
She wondered when it happened
She just a gray day and they the thunder
And every day marched on the same
And the army now the government
And when she looked up to the hills
The fallen trees had blocked her road to London
