I Think About You

I think about you and ask myself how I could have been so blind
I should have realized that there was something missing from the puzzle
That something was a key piece
And I quickly assumed that it was found
The way you talked and acted threw me overboard
I got a little tense when you came near or spoke to me
My heart started to beat faster and my voice wasn't clear enough
I think about you and feel a little misled
You stared at me and I knew it was a sign
But I didn't know what for
I thought it might have been that you admired my contributions regarding certain themes for discussion
And I also thought that you wanted to get close
I had a choice on whether or not to disregard everything or to play along
My solution was to take part in the process
The operation included verbal attacks, moments of co-operation and feelings of intense imagination
I felt a slap on the face when you told me that you were different
Maybe I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions
Or maybe I should be blaming you because you were in control of things
I think about you and wish that I could have been your possession
You have a good sense of humour
And you are also beautiful
That's why I fell for you in the first place
The closest I ever got to you was when we shook hands
At that moment, I knew what I was feeling was real
The need to be connected to you grew more and more
I just wish that my dreams would have become a reality
Somehow I needed to know that we had a bond
Without it, I felt confused
Sometimes I thought I was fooling myself
Other time I was thrilled that someone actually liked me
If I could turn back time, I'd experience everything I went through once more
But since that cannot happen, I'll just think about you

I Put A Spell On You

Verse 1
At first you are running free
Without any care in the world
Suddenly you're grasping for air
And you crumble to the ground
The clock is ticking
Your body is pleading for help
Too bad nobody comes to your aid
Luckily, your coffin has been made
I place you gently inside
Without feeling guilty
The casket is sealed tight
So now you can enjoy your rest
But later on I'll have an urge
That I should do it all over again

Verse 2
I have completed my revenge
But now I'm back for more
I know that I am being greedy
But I just can't help myself
Maybe I'll let the others in on my secret
Only if they promise to keep it to themselves
But as long as I have you in my possession
Nothing can go wrong
The key has been thrown away
Everyone else will be locked out
In an instant, I bring you back to life
Lacking gratitude, you try to break free with a strife
For your punishment, you will endure pain
Because I have total control over you

Verse 3
You are now part of me
There's no way you'll ever break free
Try with all your might
Watching you would be a delight
I'll tantalize you forevermore
Your presence will never be a bore
All the memories of you will always be fresh in my mind
Even when you are not near me

Chorus
I put a spell on you
And now you're forever mine
I put a spell on you
That will last throughout time
You can look for remedies
But you will find none
The power I have over you is much too strong
Why bother putting up a fight?
I put a spell on you
Because I'm terribly cruel

Everything But The Girl

Verse 1
Last night he telephoned her
But nobody was home
So he decided to leave a message
The answering machine went on
The message didn't take that long
He put the telephone down
Then there was a ringing sound
He picked it up with great anticipation
It was a cause for a celebration
But he didn't know the party would soon end

Verse 2
For such a long time
He's tried to get in her mind
But has failed at every attempt
He still continues to follow his dream
That one of these days
She will come running into his arms
He knows he has to prove himself to her
It's not going to be that simple
He tells himself that he's up for the challenge
If only he knew that he wouldn't win

Verse 3
He wants to complete his mission
Nothing will stand in his way
Will do whatever he has to
He wants the girl to be with him
He's not going down without a fight
He'll play things rough to make things right
Won't wait any longer
He's hoping to win her love

Chorus
You might think that he has everything
Anything that he could possibly want
You might think that he has everything
Anything that he could possibly need
You might think that he has everything
Anything he could get his hands on
You might think that he has everything
But he doesn't have the girl

Time To Fly

Verse 1
When you need to take a risk
But you can quit being a passenger
You can finally take command
When the train starts to roll by
Don't even think about running for it
You can be anywhere but here
You can take off if you dare

Verse 2
If you need to get away
You should know what to do
If I show you a path to reach a star
Would you listen to me
You're in luck because you don't have broken wings
You can put your mind on hold
When the rain starts to fall down
Don't let it ruin your plan

Verse 3
As you fly along with the wind
You will be miles away from home
But your journey will help you forget about it
It'll be medicine for your pain
If happiness is what you crave
You have to remain in light
Just follow the path to your destination
Don't let the stars get in your eyes

Chorus
I guess it's time for you to fly
Start to go your own way today
Cease from pulling yourself backwards

Rescue Me

Verse 1
Sometimes I get a little tense
Even when nobody is around
I think that I'm feeling this thing called fear
I attempt to break free with all my strength
But I get trapped inside
There is simply no way of escaping
So I call out to anyone
If they'll help me to break away

Verse 2
Sometimes I'm an army of one
Other times I don't put up with the battles
I may run and I may try to hide
Even if I don't know where I'm going to
I just hope that I make the right decisions
I want to be the one who wins in the end
Bad luck might be lurking away the corner
Maybe it's about to make an attack

Verse 3
Sometimes I am content
Just knowing that I am somewhat like you
I don't have to be as guilty as before
Some of the pressure has eased off of me
The outside is filled with many disguises
There are many layers to sort out
So what's the point of doing all that work
When the strange and intentional untruths surround me?

Chorus
Rescue me from the freaks and the geeks
Rescue me from the truth and from the lies
Rescue me from the brave and the weak
Rescue me from all of reality

Heartbreak

Verse 1
I've been watching time slowly slip away
The same thing I did yesterday
I can never make it come back
But I don't really care at all
I remember a lot of things
Like the times we shared together
But now those are memories
That are causing me a lot of pain
I have many questions that go unanswered
Sometimes I just don't want to know the truth
I want my feelings to hide
But I'm hurting deep down inside

Verse 2
I remain in complete silence
Sometimes tears express my mood
If only it wasn't over between us
Then I wouldn't have to be alone
My arms frantically reach out
I'm searching for a hold on you
My heart lays in shattered pieces
My tears glisten as they slide down my face
I fall through empty darkness
Even though I'm staring at the light
Why do things have to be so hard?
I try to move on but I always fail

Verse 3
I feel so guilty for feeling so empty
Maybe it's my fault for living this way
There is this pain throbbing inside me
The day you left is when a part of me died
I want to reconnect with you
Our union would be a dream come true
All of the anguish is eating away at me
My entire body is no longer free
I try to turn away and start over
But I'm missing a four-leaf clover
In a moment of blindness, everything is pitch black
I stumble onto the ground to find my tracks

Chorus
Heartbreak has been creeping up to me slowly
It's piercing my heart
And tearing my body apart
Heartbreak has been driving me crazy
I am frozen
I just don't know what to do
Heartbreak seems like it's been lasting forever
I need medicine for my pain
Anything that helps me heal

Before You Sleep

Verse 1
If I yelled out for help
Would you hear me
And would you come to assist me
If you were the only person who could rescue me
What would you do if you had five seconds to make your mind up?
if you yelled out for help
I would hear you
And I would come to assist you
If I were the only person who could rescue you
It wouldn't take me a long time to make my mind up

Bridge 1
I know that some things have already changed
But are you willing to work them out
Is the distance too much to handle?

Verse 2
We've spoken many time
We've also laughed and cried on the telephone
You told me what was going on there
And I told you what was going on around here
We keep on talking like everything is the same
I think yo're trying to pretend that I never moved away
Maybe you're pretending that you still want to be with me
I want to know what's been on your mind

Bridge 2
Things can work between us if you're willing to try
Let me know if you are in it till the end
Do you really want to throw everything away?

Verse 3
Are you starting to have doubts about you and I?
Do you think you've made a big mistake?
All I want to know if I should let go of you
If you want to hold on to the memories we've shared
You know where to find me
I'm not going anywhere
You mean so much to me

Bridge 3
I know that some things have already changed
Let me know if you are in it till the end
Everything seems to be fading away

Chorus
Do you think of me before you sleep?
Am I in your dreams every night?
Do you miss me as each day passes by?
Do you wish that I would return to you?

How Lucky I Am

Verse 1
When I was scared and when I was alone
You came to my side to soothe all my fears
I no longer felt bitter
The reason why is because you were my remedy
From time to time nothing seemed worthwhile
And I was on the verge of a breakdown
I was a stranger in my own life
Until you helped me become acquainted with myself
Unfortunately, there are people who still need assistance
They are still waiting for their lucky chances

Verse 2
At one point, the taunts became too much to bear
Then you came around to comfort me
I've been betrayed by many people who claimed to be friends
All those experiences left a huge hole in my heart
I was constantly exhausted from hiding
Coming in contact with others was terrifying
You caught me whenever I fell
That caused my pain to cease
But there are still many who remain hopeless
It seems that luck is not on their side

Bridge
Some dream of a smile that will light up their face
Many think of the pain that life brings
I know how they really feel
Because I walked in their shoes for so many miles

Chorus
With you I know that anything is possible
There is a winner inside of me
With you, I know what happiness really means
It feels like I'm sitting on cloud nine
Before I didn't know that other people were trying to make it through
It was hard for them because they didn't know what to do
You have been the only one helping me along the way
I put my trust in you knowing you're the person to rely on
I'll try not to take anything for granted
Because now I truly know how lucky I am

Hey Little Walter

Verse 1
You spent many days riding your bike
And many nights telling ghost stories
Whenever you were with your friends having such a good time
They they started to lie
Giving you wrong directions to their tree house
They kept on pushing you away
They didn't want you around them
How could they not realize what they were doing was wrong?
Why didn't they stop and think about the way you'd react?

Verse 2
Do you think about getting hungry
And not having anything to eat?
Do you think about getting cold
And not having any shelter from the wind?
Let me tell you something that nobody knows
I was their friend a long time ago
I didn't know that they were talking behind my back
They though that I was the enemy
I should have known that something was wrong
But I was too blind to see

Bridge
You and I are strangers
Maybe we will become friends
Only time will tell
Sooner or later you will have to trust someone

Chorus
Hey Little Walter, where are you going?
I don't want you to be alone anymore
Hey Little Walter, where are you going?
If you runaway, I will run with you
But don't go rushing into it
Take all the time you need

Better Than Ever

Verse 1
I'm strong again
Before I was weak
I looked around and everything seemed bleak
I thought I'd always remain in solitude
Now I'm better than ever
Not a day goes by without a smile on my face
There is no need to rush
I'm going at my own pace
Things feel like a dream but they are so real
I'm better than ever

Verse 2
I was all tied up
There was no way out
I was down on my luck for such a long time
Then I tried again and I was set free
Now I'm better than ever
I never knew how happy I could be
Maybe that's the reason why they say the best things are free
My life is changing every day
But I shouldn't be afraid
I'm better than ever

Bridge
Things turned out for the best
I'm satisfied with the outcome
I would never want to turn back time
I feel like I'm the king of the world
But I know that I am better than ever

Chorus
I never thought that I could ever feel this way
I'm having such a good time every single day
Friends, laughter and smiles checked into my life
Now I am better than ever
