Distance To The Heart
04:42
|
|||
|
When will I see you next? I’ve been waiting for so long
We can hang out on the internet, but I’d prefer you in my arms
Oh and any proximity is long distance if I know that you’re not here
And it probably comes across as being too persistent, but I just want you near
And if love is keeping us together
Then why do I feel so apart?
And no I’m not just a little under the weather
For distance makes all the difference to the heart
And a phone call is nice to hear your voice, but so much goes unsaid
Oh of course we could spend the weekend together, but I’d much rather instead
For those two days to last a week and for that week to last a year
And do we have to go our separate ways? Oh when will I see you reappear?
And if love is keeping us together
Then why do I feel so apart?
And no I’m not just a little under the weather
For distance makes all the difference to the heart
Oh and oh what will the future hold? What has it ever done for me?
And if it exists without you by my side, well that’s not the life I want to lead
Only distance and time separate us and that divided equals speed
Which is what you should do to get here, oh there’s nothing else I need
And if love is keeping us together
Then why do I feel so apart?
And no I’m not just a little under the weather
For distance makes all the difference to the heart

The Comforts of Love
04:28

I had a dream about the ocean; there was another horizon
There was mine and yours and we stood on the shore on different sides
I could see the waves a coming and with each anticipating
That one of them would carry you to me
I had a dream that I was flying, but my focus was below me
I was using my ability to look for you
And I saw my future looking back and it beckoned me to answer
It said leave your past behind, but that’s something I couldn’t do
For now I’ve found you; I’ll never let you go
I want what we have never to end
Yeah, now I’ve found you and I’ll never have to know
What it’s like to be without you again
And now I ask this to you and you can ask it to each other
Have you ever thought you knew you were in love?
And if your answer is yes and you’re still with that lover
Then you know the feeling we are speaking of
And if the answer is no, well then good for you or bad for you
It’s hard to determine with such limited informa-tion
But for us that are so empty that we need another to feel whole
This is the way we establish our meaning in the world
And now I’ve found you; I’ll never let you go
I want what we have never to end
Yeah, now I’ve found you and I’ll never have to know
What it’s like to be without you again
It’s a sign of something; perhaps we’ve both just given up
That we’re completely content in each other’s company
It’s a sign of something; It’s probably that it’s really love
That we are allowed to feel so infinitely free
And this is only the beginning of a journey of spent together
It’s a sun rising slowly from the east
Yeah this is only the beginning and I hope it never has to end
For a life without is not the life for me
Yes, a life without is not the life for me
Oh, a life without is not the life for me

Tour Anthem
05:04
|
|||
|
If I could write this song, would you sing along?
Every night as we tour the world together?
Would it lose its charm with each time we perform?
Would its meaning change with the language of our location?
Well, let’s assume it will, assume we only do it for the thrill
Here in some strange city we’ve only maybe seen in movies
Well while the songs on the record might be just a record
Of how we felt at one point in time, I hope that’s not the case
For I will always be by your side
All vacancies shall then be vacant in this life
Oh don’t you know that we’ll never be apart
If we keep pieces of each other in our hearts
You look at me as if I’m living in a dream
A false perception to match this color scheme
As if the ends always justified the means
And everybody gave as much as they received
Now if your life is the sun, where are you shining from?
Are you on the east or west or somewhere in between?
Well I hope that we are both rising equally
And have awhile in each others’ company
And I will always be by your side
All vacancies shall then be vacant in this life
Oh don’t you know that we’ll never be apart
If we keep pieces of each other in our hearts
And I will always be by your side
All vacancies shall then be vacant in this life
Oh don’t you know that we’ll never be apart
If we keep pieces of each other in our hearts

I want to love you. Won't you let me love you? All I want from you is your love.
Yeah, I want to love you. Won't you let me love you? All I want from you is your love.
Oh, I want to love you. Won't you let me love you? All I want from you is your love.
Oh, I want to love you. Won't you let me love you? All I want from you is your love.

The Dream
03:48
|

|
Love and affection in every direction
I’m living the dream for some
All I need is the warmth of the ocean
And your arms around me
And I’ll never have to go home
Oh you don’t have to say a word
For I can feel your heart from here
Oh and how did I ever live before
Without you near?
And I’m never looking back
To the life that I once lead
Yeah I’d much rather this instead
Oh how could I ever love again?
You’re my lover and my best friend
And I hope always until the end
That you’ll be here with me
Holding my hand
And my heart has returned
I can feel it again
I’m my old self once more
No longer searching, I’ve found all I’ve needed
Your arms around me on the shore
And there’s no need to say a thing
For I know what’s in your heart
Oh and we have all the time in the world
And this is just the start
And I’m never looking back
To the life that I once lead
Yeah I’d much rather this instead
Oh how could I ever love again?
You’re my lover and my best friend
And I hope always until the end
That you’ll be here with me
Holding my hand

To Love And To Be Loved
04:17
|
|||
|
It’s been such awhile since I’ve felt this way
I can feel myself lifted from my own body weight
It’s as if some less desired part has gone away
And I’m not missing it for I’m no longer my own prey
Yeah, I’ve been resurrected or so I’ve led myself to believe
As I slowly feel my heart migrating back to my sleeve
Oh is this happiness or can I just no longer see?
For I’ve been finding myself in the clichés of philosophy
And to love and to love and to be loved is all I ever wanted from you
Just to love and to love and to be loved is all I now know how to do
Oh is it my imagination or am I in love with an emotion?
Such a strange sensation, but I think you would second the notion
And surely I’m not the only one who’s ever been in this place
For my feet are planted on the ground yet I am floating in space
And if you could only see the internal display
You just might believe in the positive chemical affects on the brain
Oh but am I just dreaming? Is this reality?
Have I been asleep forever to just now be awakening?
Is there a power shift taking place inside of me?
As I await those simple words from you so patiently
Just to love and to love and to be loved is all I ever wanted from you
Just to love and to love and to be loved is all I now know how to do
Oh is it my imagination or am I in love with an emotion?
Such a strange sensation, but I think you would second the notion

Diamond Rings

I don't need no diamond rings, no fancy jewels or shiny things, all I want from you is your love.
Oh, I don't need no diamond rings, no fancy jewels or shiny things, all I want from you is your love.
I don't need no diamond rings, no fancy jewels or shiny things, all I want from you is your love.
I don't need no diamond rings, no fancy jewels or shiny things, all I want from you is your love.

This Town, This Place
04:21

I never thought I'd say these words
But I think I'm going to miss this place
Yeah, I never thought I'd say these words
But I hope you never change your ways
Yeah, you know some people never leave this town
And some you'd wish had stayed
Well, will I be missed when I'm not around?
Or will some new tenant come and fill my space?
Well, I'm going to miss this place
Yeah, I'm going to miss your face
And all you pretty people going off where you are called
Well, I'll see you when I see you and I hope I see you all
But if you're going with me, well, then I guess I'll see you next fall
Yeah, I'll see you next fall
So we know that our days are numbered
And it's never been so apparent as it is now
And no matter how much we slumber
We can't escape our reality that asks,
Who? What? When? Where? Why? And How?
Well, I'm going to miss this place
Yeah, I'm going to miss your face
And all you pretty people going off where you are called
Well, I'll see you when I see you and I hope I see you all
But if you're going with me, well, then I guess I'll see you next fall
Yeah, I'll see you next fall
And every time I think about me and you and you, you, you, and I
I'm faced with the fact that we're going in different ways
And now even if your path points somewhere upwards maybe even towards the sky
I hope that someday you just might remember my name
When I, when I miss this place
Yeah, when I, when I miss your face
And all you pretty people going off where you are called
Well, I'll see you when I see you and I hope I see you all
But if you're going with me, well, then I guess I'll see you next fall
Yeah, I'll see you next fall
