Tick Tock

You need to make up your mind
You going to stay or slide?
I’ve waited long enough
So please decide.
Are you in love, or not?
Tick Tock
You need to let me know
Is this thing real?
It shouldn’t be that hard
To know how you feel?
Get in the boat or stay on the dock
Tick Tock .
Time has a way of
Illuminating what feels right
If you want to stay, love,
Take the plunge or take a hike.
Well you’ve had) plenty of time
And you ought to know
If you’re not going tostay
Then you’ve got to go.
My relational clock

Last Night

Last night
Who knew that night would be
It would be one night
that changed the world for me.
I didn't know it yet,
I would have lost a bet
if I had wagered ten bucks on who I would have met.
Last night
It started out quite bland.
I mean it was all right
But nothing grand
It was the usual gloom
Then you walked in the room
And my heart went ka - boom
Last night.
So many days go by
They were all the same to me.
Then at one moment in time
Life turns on a dime
And what a change in everything since
Last night
I was the same old girl
as any past night
in my same old world.
But then the air got thin
And tables started to spin
The second you walked in
Last night.

You

Well it would be OK
If you took the long way
But boy, where are you driving to?
Perfect is not a place
It’s just a smile on your face
And it is everything we do.
But if you could use my mind
To draw the best I hope to find
Would you recognize my point of view?
CHORUS
You come on a little strong
And you never quite belong
But who could care for something more
Than you, rushing off somewhere
You might find we’re already there, and
Tell me, have you been in love before?
One final look around
They turned the chairs upside down
As you come walking through the door
The weight of compromise
So many dreams to realize
But darling we’ve been here before
Slow down if you can
Rest your sweet face in my hands
Believe me that there’s nothing else to do
CHORUS
Here’s where we end once we circle again
Let’s drive real slow breathing in as we go
Maybe I don’t want to see more than two steps ahead of me
You might get tired, you might let go
I’ll stay here where I don’t know
Beneath the urgency of plans there is the heaven of your hands
If they’re waving me away I’ll close my eyes so I can stay
Who’s to say say where we should be? I like you here in front of me
Maybe what you really mind though I don’t really know sometimes
You accidentally brush my leg and I go falling hard again
All you have to do is breathe your perfect love inside of me
CHORUS

I See You
04:22
|

|
I see you
Like others will never see.
When you’re a catastrophe
And you’re just holding on.
I see you
In all of your saddest hours,
When the sweetness of life turns sour
And everything’s wrong.
Cho:
I see you when you’re lonely
And when you’re full of fear.
I see you when you’ve lost your way,
And when you cannot steer.
I see you when you’re fading,
And when you think you’ve disappeared
I see you.
When the world looks the other way
I look in your eyes and say
I see you.

Love Is Everywhere

Can't see it
But you can see what it does
Can't hold it
But you sure know when it's lost
Listen to me.
Yes I'm talkin' 'bout love
and love is everywhere.
Can't smell it
But it's the perfect perfume
It's like it's nothing
But it can fill up a room
You know what it is.
Yes I'm talkin' 'bout love
and love is everywhere.
You know you can't feel it but we breathe it like air
it's as hard as a rock, it's as soft as a prayer
No we can't see it, but love is everywhere.
Can't hear it
But it goes off like a bomb
Can't see it leave
But you sure know when it's gone.
You know what it is
Yes I'm talkin' 'bout love
Love is everywhere.

If I found I couldn’t sleep
And I called you on the telephone
Would it ring and wake you up
Or would it wake someone who’s next to you
Oh I wish that you could see
How I spend my time alone
Do you ever, ever ever think of me?
I am lost in ennui
Clinging to this history
Do you ever, ever, ever think of me?
If I met you on the street
Would you sadly look away?
Or would you introduce
The girl who’s walking by your side?
I should sleep, but then I’d dream
Of all that used to be
Do you ever, ever, ever think of me?

If I Never Get to Paris
04:06
|

If I never get to Paris,
Never see the Eiffel Tower;
Never spend an idle hour
Watching the Seine
Will I never I never know what love is?
Will I never feel the passion
That Parisians do? I’m asking,
‘Cause I want the same.
If I never sashay down the Champs-Elysees
Or smoke cigarettes in a corner café,
Never say “ s’il vous plait” or wear a beret
Do I not know love?
If I never get to Paris,
If I never “parlez-vous”
Or ever see the Moulin Rouge,
Or do the things French lovers do,
Do I ever really know love?
With you, love, I do.
