So Natural 03:34
blue eyes over me, they lay me down with a smile that lets me know that, i've been found lazy river floating, carry me only, say my name and i believe hold me, closer til i can't tell us apart i can't erase you when you're written in my heart there's no beginning, there'll be no end CHORUS you're like an old pair of jeans, cling tight on my hips come apart at the seams for the love on your lips i can taste you getting sweeter with every sip you're so natural to love warm and tender like an august breeze blowing, butterfly kisses on the back of my knees oh sweet shivers down my spine, all that i can do is lay back and just, take in all of you there's no beginning, there'll be no end CHORUS all i know, is what you do to me is all i need, cause when you're here with me it goes to show that you're so natural to love

Let Go 03:00
Why you leavin in the dark Unless you wanna break my heart Might be better in the day So I can watch you walk away A little bit of love goes a long long way And you can’t leave til I get a little bit of love then you’re on your way CHORUS So I won’t let go, let go til it’s time I won’t let go, let go til you’re mine Once I get my hands on you, there ain’t nothing you can do So I won’t let go, let go til you’re mine Hearts are broken all the time I won’t let you damage mine So with some fresh paint and some glue I’ll make a brand new heart for you A little bit of love goes a long long way I know you’ll leave me My heart can’t take another bad day CHORUS I see your eyes looking for the back door wonder if you’re ever gonna come back for more Baby no, this ain’t me all the time It’s just been way too long Tired of hearing my heart sing a sad song Things are looking up since you came along, I know it’s wrong

Am I just a flame in your fire That only keeps you warm when you desire, it Am I just a fool in the end Someone that you know you can depend on Am I just a photo in a frame Waiting on you to look my way say it ain’t so, but everybody knows you’ve always been cold as a fair weather boyfriend Oh, It’s three o’clock in the morning, my cell phone’s pouring your number You’re calling, you wanna come over Am I your, one and only, or is it that you’re feeling lonely Ain’t playing red rover, so stop coming me over But, It’s so hard to say no to you Boy, if I only knew Oh, It’s six o’clock in the morning, and I’m crying on your cold shoulder Is it easy, to love me then leave me Oh, so you turn off the night with a switch of the light, it’s blinding I’m always, always finding It’s so hard, wo, it’s so hard And I know you know That, I fall apart, every time And I know you know

Lazy 03:05
Hot summer night in the city, it’s really no place to be Taxicabs, running the red lights and buildings blocking out the breeze forget about the world outside our windowpane I pity all the suckers as they try CHORUS Let’s get lazy, lazy, lay down beside me Maybe, maybe, we’ll lay through the night I can’t hold onto time but I can hold onto you We’ll sing lazy, lullabies til the skies turn blue Let’s close the door to the outside and don’t you let the, city in Throw off the blankets, kill all the lights and pour me some ice over gin Pull down all the blinds, so we can hide away Sing a lullaby for you and i CHORUS Turn off, that damn alarm cause, you ain’t going anywhere Let’s order in, pretend it’s the weekend, it’s not like anybody cares forget about the world outside our windowpane I pity all the suckers as they try CHORUS

He had big brown eyes Beautiful lies And a smile to keep me warm for days But he always made me chase him around in his maze I had to get up, get out, get off this ride I had to get away I always knew deep down, he wasn’t right for me I wanna find a beautiful mind So perfectly, packaged for me Tailor made like a little girl’s dream CHORUS I want milk and honey I want love and money I only want cake if I can eat it too, then wash it all down with a man that’s true Milk and honey Flash back to another man Stuck in the palm of my hand I tried to spice him up, but he always came out bland If he’d a stood up, spoke out, took a chance on life enough to make me care Maybe we’d still be making out somewhere I wanna find a beautiful mind So perfectly, packaged for me Tailor made like a little girl’s dream CHORUS I’m not gonna sit here and wait No time to waste I’m gonna get my milk and honey

i drank the water then i drove my baby home didn't know where we were going didn't know where, i was coming from i turned a corner in the rain the wheels started spinning fast sliding all over the road good thing nobody’s here to know don't think i'm looking for trouble but i'll do anything, to feel one more beat CHORUS i'm gonna break his heart to save mine i'm gonna break his heart to save mine he read about me in the paper, he knew that he'd be next i didn't bother to call, but had the courtesy to send a text he started running through the night, but my headlight's were too strong i said " baby where you think you're going" with a face so long don't think you can run out on trouble cause i'll do anything to feel one more beat i'm gonna break his heart to save mine i'm gonna break his heart to save mine oh i can't sleep alone is there any love for me does anybody know how to do it differently should i keep breaking hearts so i'll keep breaking hearts CHORUS

Take My Hand 03:14
There are days when your nights are long, you don’t belong, and your hands are tied up There are times when down and out, you scream and shout cause your tears are dried up you don’t know why, no you don’t know why when you feel like feeling, but you can’t feel anything, cause your soul gone left you so you steal what you can’t find in your life anywhere cause the world’s out to get you you don’t know why, no you don’t know why CHORUS Take my hand, I’ll lead you home When you can’t see where the road leads Take my hand, you’re gonna be ok Cause tomorrow is another day, another day I can tell you about the times I’ve had, when bad was bad, and all I was, was broken When you saw me sinking low, don’t you know, it was your hand I was holding you pulled me through, when I needed you CHORUS Cause tomorrow Is another day You’re gonna be fine You know you’re gonna be fine It’s all gonna be alright CHORUS
8.
One Day 03:25
CHORUS One day We’ll be one One day We’ll be one Imagine a world where everyone’s the same Same height, same hair, same thoughts, same things to care, about Would that make the world more beautiful, no, no Would it stop the wars, would it teach us more, about life CHORUS Imagine a world where there was one belief To love one another, be thankful for what we’re, given What if trust was floating in the air, everywhere For the people to feel, would the leaders steal it again CHORUS Feel it in your soul Say what you wanna say Don’t be blind to the world Don’t you look the other way Cause we’re running out of time There’s too much to be done will it be on your mind when a billion turns to one, one day I don’t wanna be Just wasting away Without nothing to day Not another day Goes by, when I don’t Imagine a world Where trust would float up in the air Think we all could use Something to believe An Idea to conceive What a world, we’d be Gotta understand Give it all that I am Gotta know that I can

The look in his eyes Tells me, just how I oughta look at the world So innocent, so easy to print on the face of paper doll While holding his hand Shows me, fair skin, now I know what’s really happening With all of the trees, and all of their leaves, they’ll never look the same again CHORUS Cause I, I know that Love is all around The dream on his face Let’s me know the stars glow even when the light doesn’t show the difference between, who’s nice and who’s mean well we don’t really care for them While, I was walking a fine line, on my time stubborn cause that’s what my sign tells me I can be, then he found me, I’ll never be the same again CHORUS Eyes, Look at the world For the first time Through his blue CHORUS
