Stay
------
And do you think it would be alright?
If I could stay here for awhile
Its getting cold outside and I’d rather not be alone
I get the feeling I want to stay
For awhile
Don’t care for what people say
Try not to let it get in the way
And if I stumble would you pick me up and put me down
I’m beginning to think I want to stay
For awhile
Cos it’s all I need, it’s all I need
It’s all I need, it’s all I need
And do you think it would be alright
If I could stay here for a while
I’m getting closer, to where I know I should be
I know I really, I know I really
I know I really want to stay
For awhile
For awhile

Talk About It
-----------------
Hey friend, how do you propose that we fill this time?
A life time at our disposal, only here for awhile
And I don’t you want to
And I don’t know if we will
But we could talk for a while
Talk about it, just for a while, I think we should
Think about it for a little time, I know we could
I think we should, I think we owe it.
You know, life gets by us day by day
High time we stopped wondering what tomorrow would bring
And I don’t you want to
And I don’t know if we will
But we could try for a while
Talk about it, just for a while, I think we should
Think about it for a little time, I know we could
I think we should, I think we owe it.
I think we owe it.
If you could paint a picture, of all the things to be
And look at us tomorrow, tell me what would you see?
If you could summarise where we’re heading in this life
Is there something out there, after we die?
Talk about it, just for a while, I think we should
Think about it for a little time, I know we could
Talk about it, just for a while, I think we should
Think about it for a little time, I know we could
I think we should, I think we owe it.
I think we owe it.
We owe it.

Living For You
-------------------
It’s high time,
I got this thing together
I’ve been avoiding the question,
And I don’t need reminding
I’m living for you
I’m living for you
I’ve made up my bed
And I’m gonna lie in it oh yeah
I need a chance to show
My love is true
I’m living for you
I’m living for you
For you
For you
And it’s all that I can do
It’s all that I can do
It’s all that I can do
I’ve walked this line
Now I’ve come full circle
I’ve been down before
Ain’t going down no more
I’m living for you
I’m living for you
For you
For you

On The Outside
---------------------
Mondays raining, and Tuesdays dry
But for all the other reasons, it doesn’t matter why
She doesn’t say much, but she knows
The weather don’t change the way you feel
A week goes by, another month the a year
And it does feel that different any more
But she knows, yeah she knows
She’s only on the outside,
Only on the outside, looking in
Not quite a stranger and yet not quite a friend
Don’t have a ticket, but she’s just gonna hang
On the outside.
Winter came, and winter went
But the heart felt season still remains
A silent cry, builds up inside
And screams through her walls of silence
And the years go by, but they’ve not been kind
And it doesn’t feel like living any more
But she knows, yeah she knows
She’s only on the outside,
Only on the outside, looking in
Not quite a stranger and yet not quite a friend
Don’t have a ticket, but she’s just gonna hang
On the outside.
On the outside, but she knows
On the outside, its getting cold
But it doesn’t have to be the same
No it doesn’t have be like this at all
But she knows, yeah she knows.

Trouble

Inspired by Ecclesiastes on the theme of a time for all seasons, the song is about inevitability of seasons of trouble and the folly of thinking and acting otherwise.

Words In Vain
------------------
It’s a lie, that everyone else does the same
There’s no proof, the answer don’t add up that way.
Try to decipher, the little that I can, and find something
That will help me make some sense
Cause I don’t want to live by words in vain.
There’s no point, running on the edge about to fall
Makes no sense, living by the words that fell before
Try to elude my, rapidly pursuing past, and find something
That will help me make amends
Cause I don’t want to live by words in vain.
Words in vain
I don’t want to live by, I don’t want to speak words in vain
I don’t want to live by, I don’t want to speak words in vain
Its not my place to make that call, they’re not the words that I would choose
When I can’t tell the night from day, I can’t figure what to say
And I don’t want to live by, I don’t want to speak, I don’t want to live by
And I don’t want to live by, I don’t want to speak, I don’t want to live by
Words in vain
Words in vain
Words in vain

Linger

Linger
--------
Looking through your written words
Looking at my life
The truth begins to unfold me
As I hang my head in shame
Its as though you are near me
Standing by my side
Makes me want to linger
And stay, just for awhile.
Searching for your answers
To questions about my life
Your inspiration holds me
Like a little child
Sometimes the closeness
Makes me want to cry
Makes me want to linger
And stay, just for awhile.
Stay for awhile
Its a personal, rendition
As I tender my, submission
And partake, of this time
I, will not decline
This chance to linger.
Looking through your written words
Watching as my life
Rises from the darkness
Back in to the light
Its as though you are near me
Standing by my side
Makes me want to linger
And stay, just for awhile.
Stay for awhile
For awhile.
