In the Night We Dare

We run through the fields tonight
In the dark, just the stars alight
We’re wolves, we’re hungry and alive
Something inside takes flight
Under moon beams – following our dreams
(What do we know of life?)
In the starlight our future is so bright…tonight
In doorways and alleys we hide
Our ambitions our secrets to confide
Emotions, desires throttled inside
Engines roaring, let’s ride
Under moon beams – following our dreams
(What do we know of life?)
In the starlight our future is so bright
In the night we dare
No cross to bear
And we’ll take our share
(Mothers beware)
Under moon beams – following our dreams
(What do we know of life?)
In the starlight our future is so bright…tonight

The First Time
03:14

I took a chance, a stolen glance, I caught your eye and you smile
I nearly died, I couldn’t hide, my eyes so wide
But then you reached your hand to mine sending shivers down my spine
The voice of angels, the sound of bells
It was the first time, the first time I fell
You passed a note, the words you wrote sent me a-reel, a surge of hope
What was this dance? Was it romance? I didn’t know
The emotions so intense – it was the end of innocence
The voice of angels, the sound of bells
It was the first time, the first time I fell
Could this be heaven? I was lost in your spell
It was the first time, the first time I fell
On my chest your fingertips, upon my lips you placed a kiss
So strange and new, my world askew and I knew
It could never be the same, I was changed, burned by the fire of your flame
The voice of angels, the sound of bells
It was the first time, the first time I fell
Could this be heaven? I was lost in your spell
It was the first time, the first time I fell
Floating free; all around me was the sweetest melody
The voice of angels, the sound of bells
It was the first time, the first time I fell
Could this be heaven? I was lost in your spell
It was the first time, the first time I fell

Let's Play
03:57
|

Let’s get into trouble – but not too much
Don’t wanna press our luck
We might be young with lives to burn
But still too old to duck
We walk the line between squandering and treasuring time
Not yet tied to the plow, baby, our moment is now
So we run in the night
Under neon lights
Tomorrow so far away
Yeah, c’mon, let’s play
Hold our heads under water – but not too long
‘Cos that’s when things go wrong
You know we gotta stay moving
It’s a dangerous game to stay where we don’t belong
We walk the line between squandering and treasuring time
Not yet tied to the plow, baby, our moment is now
So we run in the night
Under neon lights
Tomorrow so far away
Yeah, c’mon, let’s play
In alleys dark let’s race the park
We’ll stroll the pier in underwear
Shed our clothes and dive in bare
Someone might see but we don’t care
No hop a bus or take the el
We might be fools and time will tell
But right now baby we’re caught between heaven and hell
Let’s just keep running the night
Under neon lights
Tomorrow so far away
Yeah, c’mon, let’s play

You've Got Me Now
03:30
|

I was running my dreams
Thought I knew just what I need
But it wasn’t what it seemed
I got lost inside the maze
Smoke and mirrors, a dirty haze
But then you opened up the way
You’ve got me now
I’m done spinning round and round
I was lost but now I’m found
You’ve got me now
I was leaving on a train
Hoping to skip out on the pain
Thinking I had everything to gain
But I found the door was closed
And there this truth was interposed
It was always you I needed most
You’ve got me now
I’m done spinning round and round
I was lost but now I’m found
You’ve got me now
When I was blind you helped me see
When I was deaf you made me hear
How you set me free
You’ve got me now
I’m done spinning round and round
I was lost but now I’m found
You’ve got me now

Just One More Time
03:47

Hey there my old friend
Will you ever sing again?
Just one more time
Let’s raise our voices to the sky
Did our chance already pass on by?
You used to play that old guitar
Said you’d never trade it in – even if you made it far
I could hear it now
Just strum a chord into the night
Let it ring across the sky
Now sipping coffee to write some more
Trading licks and chords – new tunes always such a score
Yeah, well we were poor
Send your song into the sky
And listen as I echo in reply
Remember when the music’s all we’d hear?
Now only silence fills my ears
I reached out once way back when, to you my friend
I got no answer in the end
Oh my friend
I raise my hands up to the sky
We never had to say good-bye

No One Can Show You How
04:19
|
|||
|
Wake up in the night
Fear gripping tight
Heart pounding at the sight
Why am I running from the light?
It’s not the fear of change
But of the unknown
The uncertainty
The doubt in me
To go in blind and just believe
And take the leap
Walk on through the door
To something more
It’s a step of faith
No one can show you how
The time is now
And science is the discovery
Of what already is
Faith is the same
A waiting game
The big reveal
The unseen exists
It’s not the fear of death
But of the unknown
The mystery of eternity
Shattering this peace I feel
Where doubt holds me
Walk on through the door
To something more
It’s a step of faith
No one can show you how
The time is now
Walk on through the door
To something more
It’s a step of faith
No one can show you how
The time is now

Fireflies
03:46

Fireflies caught in a jar
Flickering as we gaze at the stars
There’s a lull, a peace on the breeze
The future’s wide open on this warm summer’s eve
So much to see and so much to learn
There’s something new around every turn
Can’t wait to see the next thing you’ve found
And the swell in my heart just to have you around (it’s like)
Fireflies caught in a jar
Flickering as we gaze at the stars
There’s a lull, a peace on the breeze
I’m alive and brand new with your discoveries
Paper hearts scissors and glue
Stick with me, always amazed by all that you can do
Everything’s new
So much to see and so much to do
And when you’re running, I wanna run there with you
Hands entwined, sometimes we’ll jump or we’ll skip
And the light in your eyes sends my heart on a trip (it’s like)
Fireflies caught in a jar
Flickering as we gaze at the stars
There’s a lull, a peace on the breeze
I’m alive and brand new with your discoveries
Somersaults, you tumble and roll
Racing now to put the ball in the goal
You light a fire in my soul
C’mon girl –
I wanna show you the world
Take my hand and let’s make it a show
Wherever, whenever, say the word and we’ll go
(It’s like) Fireflies caught in a jar
Flickering as we gaze at the stars
There’s a lull, a peace on the breeze
There’s nothing I’ll cherish like these memories

Spin
03:56

Oh, and I watch you spin
Oh, that twirling dress you’re in
The evening light is fading
In the shadows waiting
Oh, I’m caught in between
You run before walking, sing before talking
It’s all rainbows and colors to you
Want to reach out, tell you to slow down
Let time come to you
Mm, your hair in the breeze
Mm, you’re running through flowers and trees
The summer sun is shining
Time is so defining
Mm, it won’t hear my pleas
You run before walking, sing before talking
It’s all rainbows and colors to you
Want to reach out, tell you to slow down
Let time come to you
But you change without asking
In moments not lasting
Minutes and hours aren’t something to own
Can I reach out, tell you to slow down?
Stay here at home
Memories flit in and out of mind
Such a tease – like time might rewind
Oh, you don’t have to grow
Oh, that’s a lie I know
I should stop pretending
Time is so unbending
Oh, now where did it go?

In the night with its fears
Too afraid to cry tears
It’s alright, honey I’ll be your light
I love when you call my name
Don’t you know when you do, I’ll remain
Now in the summer we run
Daybreak to the setting sun
Will you call –
When the snow starts to fall?
‘Cos I love when you call my name
But seasons pass and leaves they change
One day you wake up to where’d it all go
Until then you won’t know
Now I won’t get put out
I hope you’re out and about
But if you ever miss, miss me, remember this
I love when you call my name
Why can’t things just stay the same?

Watching From Above
03:50

I’ll whisper in your ear the things you want to hear
I’ll stretch out the night to make up from a fight
Can you see it clear? I will be right here
My love
Watching from above
In every thought and prayer down to your core
My dear I am yours
I will calm your fears like wind to dry your tears
And I could be the sun when storms leave you undone
When you need me near I will be right here
My love
Watching from above
In every thought and prayer down to your core
My dear I am yours
The air that you breathe
The stirring of leaves
I’m coming around right now
On the breeze
My love
I’m watching from above
Every thought and prayer tingles your spine
To know that I am yours and you are mine
