Stranger These Days

Did you ever see anybody smile the way he smiled?
Did you ever see anybody smile
The way he smiled at me?
Maybe I'm in too deep.
I'm following your light tonight,
I'm following you home.
And I don't know what it is about your smile.
It's just that no one's smiled at me for quite a while.
Quite a while.
And sometimes a stranger is the greatest company.
Because you were the only one
Who's there to comfort me.
And now I'm following your light tonight,
I'm following you home.
And you're a stranger.
No one can say that they know.
Because no one is listening but you.
No one can say that I am pushing them away.
Because no one is listening but you.
I found someone looking into me.
Seeing all my fears, now disappear and be free.
Sometimes a stranger is better than a friend,
You tell them all your secrets
Because you won't see them again.
But now I'm following your light tonight,
I'm following you home.
And you're a stranger.
No one can say that they've tried
Because no one is trying but you.
No one can say that I am pushing them away.
Because no one is trying but you.
And I know I could never want anyone but you.
I know I've been walking around blind
Been walking around blind without you, without you.
And I know I could never want anyone but you.
Now you're gone and I don't know where,
When I go home you're never there.
But now I'm following your light tonight,
I'm following you home.
But you're a stranger, these days.

Living Alone

Come back to bed,
Don't mess with my head.
Don't play with my hair
Or say you'll be there.
Oh, come on back home,
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me believe you're staying with me.
In reality you won't fall asleep with me.
I know I'm only dreaming and this won't come for free.
I try to think what's right but I know what's right is wrong.
I know I'm only dreaming when I write you a love song.
Come back to bed,
Don't mess with my head.
Don't play with my hair
Or say you'll be there.
Oh, come on back home,
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me believe you're staying with me.
I know you'll forgive but you cannot forget.
You are my ambition but I am your regret.
I don't want to be your responsibility.
I want you to love me,
Oh, why won't you, why won't you love me?
And come back to bed,
Don't mess with my head.
Don't play with my hair
Or say you'll be there.
Oh, come on back home,
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me believe you're staying with me.
Oh I'd give anything
To be everything
To you, but I'm nothing.
I'm nothing to you and there's nothing I can do.
And hey hey hey,
Yeah hey hey hey,
Yeah hey,
Yeah hey,
Yeah hey hey hey,
Come back to bed,
Don't mess with my head.
Don't play with my hair
If not you're not gonna be there.
Oh, come on back home,
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me believe you're staying with me.
Come back to bed,
Don't mess with my head.
Don't play with my hair
If not you're not gonna be there.
Oh, come on back home,
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me believe you're staying with me.

Nothing at all could stop me from loving you
Baby, that's the truth
Nothing they say could make me turn away
No, I am here to stay
You push your luck because you know you can
Yeah, you're the only man that I need
Nothing at all will change how I feel
Maybe it's all just a lie but maybe it's real
I know I'm a fool
Know nothing about you
But I'd rather be a fool than be without you
Tell me it's love
I'll hang on your every-word like it's the first I've heard
Tell me you're wrong
Tell me you made mistakes and I will let you take me for a fool
Because nothing at all will change how I feel
Maybe it's all just a lie but maybe it's real
I know I'm a fool
Know nothing about you
But I'd rather be fool than be without you
Oh I'm young
Let me make mistakes
Let me think he's the one
Over and over and over and over
I'm young
Let me cry myself to sleep
Let me think he's the one
Over and over and over and over, over and over and over
But nothing at all will change how I feel
Maybe it's all just a lie but maybe it's real
I know I'm a fool
Know nothing about you
But I'd rather be a fool than be without you.

Give Me Rain

You were in my dreams,
You're my only nightmare.
You are the sun when it still shone.
You were in my heart,
You were always right there.
But now I need you, you are gone.
So,
Give my rain on a sunny day.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.
And give sun when I know there's none.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.
You are not the same, you change with the seasons,
And the rain washed you away.
But you are not to blame, now I guess we're even.
I knew that summer couldn't stay.
So,
Give my rain on a sunny day.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.
And give sun when I know there's none.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.
And I knew the summer belonged to us,
I knew that it would go wrong for us,
And you, you wouldn't hold on for us.
And now I can't look at the sun,
And now I can't look at the sun,
And now I can't look at the sun,
And now I can't look at the sun.
So,
Give my rain on a sunny day.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.
And give sun when I know there's none.
I know there's nothing left for me but you.

Better Than Today

Sometimes the hardest part
Is to remember what you have done.
And maybe you didn't mean to
But you managed to everyone.
I took something so big
And made it so small.
I took something great
And ruined it all.
I took something so false
And tried to make it true.
I'd do anything I could
To make it up to you.
Where does the love all go
When it's broken, like me?
Does it just fade away,
Or is there but you cannot see? Yeah.
I took something so big
And made it so small.
I took something great
And ruined it all.
I took something so false
And tried to make it true.
I'd do anything I could
To make it up to you.
I wish I could just think about tomorrow
Make everything much better than today
I wish we could just live ours tomorrow
Because everything might be ok.
I took something so big
And made it so small.
Now you won't let me
Rebuild it all.
I took something so false
And tried to make it true.
I'd do anything I could
To make it up to you.
I wish I could just think about tomorrow
Make everything much better than today
I wish we could just live ours tomorrow
Because everything might be ok.
