  1. 1Feels Like Forever

    Oh, it's a beautiful night
    The breeze, it feels so right
    And I feel out of my mind
    'Cause you seem just like my type
    So why don't you

    Sit with me, stay a little longer
    If you leave, I might just wanna follow
    Stay the night and hold me 'til we wake up
    Is it just me, 'cause this feels like forever

    Some things are not what they seem
    But this, it feels like a dream
    My eyes, they just wanna see you close and naturally
    I just want you to

    Chorus ×2

    Oh, it's a beautiful night
    The stars, they light up the sky
    About now, I'm thinking it's time for me to make you mine
    Because I just want you to

  2. 2Close To You

    Your eyes take me to a place where I can feel so good inside
    Baby, you are so much more than I can take
    Feels like every moment gone is way too long

    I can't wait to get close to you
    And baby, I can't see, oh no, no
    See myself without your love
    Every time I try to say the words in my heart
    Well, I can never relate that I just want to be close to you

    Take me just the way I am
    It seems that that's the way that you like it best
    Then break me, you know I'm doing all I can
    To keep all this love from pouring out my chest

    Chorus

    Close when the sky is bright, and when the stars fill up the night
    Closer than you and I have ever been
    I really wanna know you, baby, from within
    Wanna know what's behind those eyes
    That melt away my heart and make me feel so right

    Your eyes take me to a place where I can feel good inside
    Oh oh oh oh
    Your eyes (your eyes) take me to a place
    Where I can feel (I feel good) inside, hey

  3. 3Only You

    Only you can give me the stars and moon
    In the sky we'll be flying, you and I

    I got the stars right here in my heart
    You are the night, I am the moonlight
    I illuminate you in a different way
    For you I'll shine, light up your life

    Chorus

    Look at the sky, see the brightest light
    That is my love shining from above
    And if you forget or feel the light has dimmed
    Open your eyes and look into the night

    Chorus ×2

    So for the rest of time you'll be mine (be mine)
    You can know for sure I am yours (for sure)
    Because we share a destiny
    To be truly and so deeply in love

    Look at the sky, see the brightest light
    That is my love shining from above
    And don't you forget or feel the light has dimmed
    Open your eyes and look into the night, yeah

  4. 4One Step Forward

    One step forward and two steps back
    That's how I always follow, even if I don't try
    But I keep chasing my dreams 'til the day I die
    And though the times may seem so hard, I still will try, yeah

    One step forward and two steps back
    One step forward and two steps back

    Steady climbing, gonna find my way
    Because there is no denying you gotta seize the day
    So I keep chasing my dreams 'til the day I die
    And though at times I get knocked down, I still will fight, yeah

    Chorus

    And I'm often reminded that it shouldn't be any other way
    And if the time passes by
    You'll get up and you will try again

  5. 5Perspective

    I got a new point of view, and I'm looking in the distance
    Today I chose to start anew, because I've been feeling so listless
    I have found a place where I can rest my weary head, yeah
    Beautiful is the peace energy I feel instead, yeah
    Because I'm changing my

    Perspective (I am seeing things so differently)
    Perspective (It's an energy inside)
    I'm hoping to seek and willing to find a new state of mind
    Perspective, yeah, I'm changing mine

    I gotta let go of the past for my inner peace to last
    Because another chance to grow, it's not guaranteed tomorrow, no
    I have found a chance for me to get to know myself, yeah
    Beautiful is the person that I am, above all else
    All because I'm changing my

    Chorus

    It's not easy trying to pretend, mostly feeling you're at an end
    It's not easy trying to survive (It's not easy, tryin', yeah)
    Barely feeling you are alive
    But what a change in heart and mind, in time you'll find perspective

  6. 6Running Around

    You did what you did, said what you feel
    It didn't work out, so what's the big deal?
    But I just can't seem to get over the way you left me alone
    Out in the cold, yeah

    How do you seem to neglect it? The fact that I gave you everything
    I kept my love for you on a shelf while you were running around
    (Running around)
    And how do you seem to forget it? The fact that I gave you everything
    I kept my love for you on a shelf while you were running around
    (Running around)

    It doesn't feel fair for you to be free
    When you left me here, down on my knees, oh
    But now that you seem to be over the life we built and love that we made
    I guess you're doin' OK (I guess you're doin' OK)

    Chorus

    I'm thinkin' it's time for me to move on
    Shouldn't be hard now that you're gone
    But I just can't seem to get over the love we made
    You were putting it down
    But you messed me around (oh oh oh)

  7. 7A Woman Like Me

    I tend to know what I like, I'm pretty sure of my type
    I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind
    And I'm fearless, headstrong, do you like it?

    And can you handle a woman like me?
    Are you afraid to let me be free?
    Because most men fall back the moment they see
    What you're in for with a woman like me

    I may be up, then I'm down, but will you be around
    When I'm crying, trying to be strong?
    Because I'm fearful, fragile, will you learn?

    Chorus ×2

    Don't be deceived by your eyes
    A girl like me can surprise
    Take it from me, because it will take time
    If you can love me for all that I am and just let me be me
    Then you're ready for a woman like me

  8. 8Rain

    Rain is falling from the sky again
    Another cloud has just passed in
    Can't remember when the sun last shined
    Seems it's been this way for a minute

    So I'll keep my eye out for those rays
    And look forward to better days
    Maybe someday I'll find a place
    In a world so out of shape

    Rain may fall and that's OK
    Rivers turn into the sea
    Water knows how it must flow
    Winding towards a path unknown

    Tears are falling from my face again
    I feel my fears all crashing in
    Don't remember when my soul last shined
    I wish I could just get a minute

    Going so much faster every day
    Don't know if I can keep up the pace
    I go forward with a smiling face
    'Cause soon it will fall into place

    Chorus

    The clouds clear, gone away with my fear
    For the first time I can see the sunshine

  9. 9The Unknown

    Finally I am facing some fears I've held inside
    Looking past it I avoided, instead I chose to hide
    Outside the world is turning, around it we go
    All the while never knowing which way the wind will blow

    But it makes me feel free, makes me feel right
    Knowing that all we get in this life
    Is only by chance and for us to grow
    Sometimes we must step into the unknown
    It makes me feel good, makes me feel free
    Knowing that somewhere deep within me
    There's always a chance for me to grow
    If I take that step into the unknown

    Every moment we are changing, growing as we go
    I find it so amazing, there is still so much to learn
    But still I get that feeling that I am not alone
    And together we can face it, the fear of the unknown

    Chorus

    We're gonna make it through the changes
    Whatever life will throw our way, we'll take it
    Make the best of what you are and don't ever forsake it
    'Cause it's the only chance you got

    We're gonna make it through the changes
    Whatever life will throw our way, we'll take it
    (We're gonna take it, yeah)
    Make the best of what you are and don't ever forsake it
    'Cause it's the only chance you got (oh, yeah)

  10. 10Always Love Me

    We go round and around in circles 'til we both hit the ground
    People, they just don't know
    Know how far you're willing to go for me

    I never thought I needed anyone but me
    I was blind, but somehow
    Oh, you made me see
    That you'll always love me

    It's hard to imagine how
    How this world would break me down
    If you weren't here by my side
    Oh, surely I wouldn't survive

    Chorus

    Show me the way and baby I'll follow
    You're the only one I wanna be with tomorrow
    Each and every day I thank God that you're here in my life
    And after all this time I finally got it right
