The Reasons Why
His sense of humor
His wit and boyish charm
He likes to play
He teases
He makes me laugh
He thinks I'm funny
His energy is contagious
He gets excited
He fidgets
He is expressive
Articulate
He gets me
He has morals
He is polite
Respectful
Honest, considerate and wise
Gives sound and good advice
And highly values mine
He is kind
Thoughtful
He works hard and is willing to do what it takes
He is diligent and trustworthy...

The way
Never ask the apple why
It tastes so sweet
Never ask the ocean why
It feels so clean
Never ask the sky
Why it endlessly unwinds
Or the trees why they bend
Dancing leaves with changing wind
The sun as it shines down upon your face
The shade while it waits to be found
On a cascade of gleaming green across the ground
Never question a smile
Whether it will turn in time
If butterflies will change
Or stay where they were made
If love will ever fade
Or make new colors after rain
It's not about the way...
It tastes so sweet
Never ask the ocean why
It feels so clean
Never ask the sky
Why it endlessly unwinds
Or the trees why they bend
Dancing leaves with changing wind
The sun as it shines down upon your face
The shade while it waits to be found
On a cascade of gleaming green across the ground
Never question a smile
Whether it will turn in time
If butterflies will change
Or stay where they were made
If love will ever fade
Or make new colors after rain
It's not about the way...

Battle line
right on the battle line waging war
What are we fighting for?
One in the same, wanting the same thing
Been praying for rain
So we won't complain that it's starting to pour
Saved all our rage for facing the storm
This is the fight we've been waiting for
Rise from the shadows we've been hiding in
If there's strength in numbers then give me your hand
We've been on the line a thousand times before
Primed and ready for war
This is the fight we've been waiting for
Broken and bent from the places we've been but
We are not...
What are we fighting for?
One in the same, wanting the same thing
Been praying for rain
So we won't complain that it's starting to pour
Saved all our rage for facing the storm
This is the fight we've been waiting for
Rise from the shadows we've been hiding in
If there's strength in numbers then give me your hand
We've been on the line a thousand times before
Primed and ready for war
This is the fight we've been waiting for
Broken and bent from the places we've been but
We are not...

You say
dont ever take it back
When you said you love me
I'm slow to react
You're so fast on your feet
When you pull me back
You say
The days of running away are passed
Let's stay, find a way to make love last
We can make love last
(Chorus)
It's the way that you chase me
Every day, you amaze me
It's the way that you save me
When you say
I'm worth everything
Everything you've been looking for
But you're more
You are more
Than I ever dared looking for
Don't ever look back
When we get a little off track...
When you said you love me
I'm slow to react
You're so fast on your feet
When you pull me back
You say
The days of running away are passed
Let's stay, find a way to make love last
We can make love last
(Chorus)
It's the way that you chase me
Every day, you amaze me
It's the way that you save me
When you say
I'm worth everything
Everything you've been looking for
But you're more
You are more
Than I ever dared looking for
Don't ever look back
When we get a little off track...

once upon a time
once upon a time
There was a man that caught my eye
We spent the night exchanging phrases
Words aligned like old familiar faces
We came to find that space and time
Did not exist between our lips
I knew his and he knew mine
We kissed;
Both meeting of the mind and lips
And as we intertwined
Our lines began to shift
To find an unexpected twist
In this; our once upon a time
Two parts a drift
Two halves that fit
My brokenness is part of him
The part that makes him whole again
His...

steps
Steps; running through my mind
Always trying to analyze -
How many steps to now?
Too many for me to count
Why this point in time?
After all that's passed me by
Always trying to analyze -
So many steps;
I regret most all but few
Which few led to you?
All the while;
You were stepping too
Always trying to analyze -
All the steps we made
From you to me and me to you
Leading right into today
And right in step by two
Steps by chance, or choice, or fate
Clinging on to faith and hope
Someday...

you see me
Part time, in my right mind
Half the time I'm running behind
One foot off and one right on track
Too head strong to see what I lack
Scrounge for days around my pages
Too slow to know, too quick to react
On a fine line with too much slack
How and why always on my back
I'm OK with relatively crazy
Boxes never caged me
Sliding slopes, swinging ropes
Chasing clouds or coming down
I believe you when you say
You can see the real me
And you like me anyway
Stressed out on doubt, strung out on hope
Turn around and I can't...

tied up in you
Your eyes, your eyes
Baby, you're such a surprise
You're arms, you're arms
Fit around just right
Your hands, your hands
Hold me tight
Don't ever let go
Strung out on hope
Baby, throw me a rope
I tried thinking twice
Then I realized I liked
Being tied up in you
My mind is consumed
But it feels so nice
Being tied up in you
Your mouth, mouth
Chase away all those doubts
The sound, the sound
Say my name one more time
Your lips, your lips
Give me just one more kiss
Every word...
Baby, you're such a surprise
You're arms, you're arms
Fit around just right
Your hands, your hands
Hold me tight
Don't ever let go
Strung out on hope
Baby, throw me a rope

Then I realized I liked
Being tied up in you
My mind is consumed
But it feels so nice
Being tied up in you

Chase away all those doubts

first times
Running low on my know how
The flip came so quick
Now my heels won't unstick
My head hit the ground and
I'm finding out now that
Far-fetched isn't too far to catch
First times can come any day
Sudden change in the script
The lines should make me sick
But I say them anyway
The tables can turn and
I'm starting to learn that
All falls aren't that bad at all
First times can come any day
Say what you say
I'm in it today and I'll give it away
It's not such a crime
To break...

silence sinks
Empty shells and wishing wells
Falling stars and bones we pull apart
Hundreds of pages with verbs
'Cause actions are heard more than words
Blue tunes and steel half moons
Rabbits feet, 4 leaves in shades of green
7 stones, burning coals, books of gold
Quiet pleas on bended knees
Charms on chains and shiny things
Silver dreams and special drinks
Little lies and tongues on fire
false emotion, fake devotion
Toes on wire, stretching tighter
Mended head with broken thread
Melting ice and muddy...

Inside my head
Making dreams inside my head
Come alive and then fall dead
Reality seems more misled --
Than any fantasy inside my head
Pictures come in bright relation
To bring alive these expectations
Strings of scenes with perfect lines
Swing between what's real --
And really just a dream
Words and phrases float in spaces
Hopes and hurts and lonely faces;
Fear and tears and long lost places;
Passion, love, and great elation
I take and place and fit them in
Like puzzle pieces - from beginning to end
A force that aches to have its...

The stars aligned
the stars aligned
A moment shines before it fades
Just a glance; that's all it takes
Just a chance; right time, right place
The stars aligned
This is our time
The ground is hard, the sky is high
We could stay down or we could climb
Say we fought and now we rise
Say we were lost but finally found
Grown cold in distant shadows
The sun is hot, that's where we'll go
Take a shot and ride it home
I like the spot we call our own
The stars aligned
A moment shines before it fades
Just a glance; that's all it takes ...
A moment shines before it fades
Just a glance; that's all it takes
Just a chance; right time, right place
The stars aligned
This is our time
The ground is hard, the sky is high
We could stay down or we could climb
Say we fought and now we rise
Say we were lost but finally found
Grown cold in distant shadows
The sun is hot, that's where we'll go
Take a shot and ride it home
I like the spot we call our own
The stars aligned
A moment shines before it fades
Just a glance; that's all it takes ...
