Signs of Life


Signs of Life (song)


Midnight
Downtown strip
You stand outside
Illuminated in the neon afterglow
You’re alone
But you don’t want to go home

Waiting for something to happen
Don’t care what it is
Because whatever happens
You need to prove to yourself
You still want to live

Signs…signs of life

You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life…in the night

Cut the cord
And pull the plug
Everything that was
Is now undone
You've been disconnected from love
Searching for a signal
You’re on the street
Nervous to every eye you meet

Staring at your reflection
In a broken a window
You see a stranger's face but you’re alone
Nobody remembers your name
You don’t feel like yourself
But that’s alright

Signs…signs of life

You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life….in the night

Three o’clock in the morning
The night is dragging on
Vampires fill the alleyway
Trying to find one more victim before dawn
You know a lot of people
But you don’t have any friends
You can’t pretend
You need something real

Side step the in-crowd
Down the backstreets
Crossing between shadows and light 
Desperation is the local currency
Hope is bought and sold in the night
Feeling messy but looking pretty
Your eyes are dark but the lights are bright
Trying to find the soul of a city

Signs…signs of life

You’re just looking for signs
Looking for signs of life…in the middle of the night


Premonition



Premonition

High
Higher than a kite
You send me up
Like a rocket in the night
Shooting stars and a lucky charm
Snake bites up and down your arm

Premonition…premonition
Give me premonitions

I’m lit
Like a cigarette in your lips
See the universe explode
Gravitate around your hips
Give me what I want…Not what I need
My eyes are wide open but I still can’t see

Premonition…Premonition
You give me premonitions

See the future take shape
Every time I get a glimpse of your face
Give me hallucinations
You’re my fixation
Fill me with your superstition
You’re my premonition

Go
Don’t take it slow
Light a bonfire in my soul
I'm filled with strange feelings
Touch me with your healing
Throw me your rope
You’re the only one…only one who gives me hope

Premonition…Premonition
You give me premonitions

Sweetness and light
You’ve got me wound up tight
I’m sinking with the ship
Give me…give me just one more hit
Flip my world upside down
Spread your wings
Lift me from the ground

Premonition…Premonition
You give me premonitions

See the future take shape
Every time I get a glimpse of your face
Give me hallucinations
You’re my fixation
Fill me with your superstition
You’re my premonition

The future is a string of pearls
Strung around your neck
I know there’s more to life
Than what can be seen
When I see you
I know I can believe
In the beauty of the mystery

Premonition…Premonition
You give me premonitions

Feel the future
When you hold me
Give me hallucinations
You’re my fixation
Tangled in mystery
You're the strangest feeling inside of me 
You’re a premonition

Premonition
Premonition
Give me premonitions

Let Me Believe



Let Me Believe

You punched a hole in the sky
Made the clouds start to cry
Raining their tears
Down upon me
You skipped your stone across the water
Made a wish then blew a kiss
Took my hand and parted the sea

Let me believe
Let me believe
In a love that shakes the mountains
Turns the desert into a fountain
Unlocks the mysteries in a heart
Without any key
Let me believe

The sun is getting colder
Shake the world off your shoulders
Don’t waste your time believing liars
You've been running through minefields
Subduing impossibilities
Tear down your fears
As your dreams become reality

Let me believe
Let me believe
In a love that shakes the mountains
Turns the desert into a fountain
Unlocks the mysteries in a heart
Without any key
Let me believe

Don’t hold back
Don’t hold back your heart
The highway is jammed with broken promises
Abandoned in the night
I've been drifting this road all my life
Break down the door
I’m picking the pieces up off the floor
I’m not the same anymore
Take a field full of flowers
And plant them on the moon
Watch the beauty of your soul start to bloom

Let me believe
Let me believe
Let me believe...

Moonlight



Moonlight (song)


Tonight
The moon is a swimming pool
Breaking the surface
Just to sink with you
Clear and so cool
No one makes me so blue
As you

Wrap me up in the night
Tell me everything will be alright
Because the moon is shining bright
I've got you to hold me tight

Tonight
The moon is a mystery
Time stands still when you’re with me
Colored lights strung on a tree
The shadows hide more than what you see
We're trying to change our history

Wrap me up in the night
Tell me everything will be alright
Because the moon is shining bright
I've got you to hold me tight

Tonight
You knocked on my door
Came to settle the score
We've been down this road before
I can’t take it anymore
Because the moon is cruel and cold
Spilling all the secrets I never told
But I've got nowhere else to go

Wrap me up in the night
Tell me everything will be alright
Because the moon is shining bright
I've got you to hold me tight

Hold me tight...
Hold me tight
All we have is the moonlight
Tonight

Skyscraper



Skyscraper (song)

Your love is a skyscraper
Touching the sky
Reaching up from the city
Towering above me
Climbing past the clouds
Far from the noise and crowd
You make me feel so high

It’s your love…your love
Gives me more than I need
It’s your love…your love
Colors the world around me
It’s your love…your love
Drives me to my knees
  
Your love is a mirror ball
Casting visions on my wall
Spinning over my head
Leave me dangling from a thread
Shimmer in color and light
Dancing in rhythm with the night

It’s your love…your love
Gives me more than I need
It’s your love…your love
Colors the world around me
It’s your love…your love
Drives me to my knees

Your love is a miracle
Kiss of grace
The beauty of your face
Catch me when I fall
Gift of splendor
Sleeping in a manger
Wrapped in flesh
Filled with a baby’s breath

It’s your love…your love
Gives me more than I need
It’s your love…your love
Colors the world around me
It’s your love…your love
Drives me to my knees

Your love...it's your love
Your love...it's your love

Soul Parade



Soul Parade (song)


You’re out on your own
You've been throwing stones
Breaking every window
In your pretty glass home
You've been tearing yourself apart
At the seams
Don’t believe everything
That you see
Lift your eyes to the sky
The love that you need
Comes from above
Open your fist and receive

Chorus:
Get so high
Just to feel so low
Speed kills
But I love your thrill
Don’t say no
I’m not letting go
I need you
More than you need me
Take me captive
So I can be free


The air is heavy
Your soul is growing thin
You feel hollow
Caught in a tailspin
 The night is complicated
And your miles away from sleep
The feelings in your heart
Rush to your head
Filling you with thoughts
Too dangerous to keep
Give me something I can feel
More than I can touch
Nothing they can steal

Chorus:
Get so high
Just to feel so low
Speed kills
But I love your thrill
Don’t say no
I’m not letting go
I need you
More than you need me
Take me captive
So I can be free

Bridge:
Lose yourself
And gravity
Burn your landscape
Reinvent your possibilities
Dreams take shape
Transcend reality 
Lift the curtain 
To the secrets you've hidden
Graffiti painted on your heart
Dressed in shadow and light
Wrestling with angels and demons in the night
Fear and faith on display
As you litter the street with your soul parade


Get so high
Just to feel so low
Speed kills
But you know I love your thrills

Earth Shaker


Earth Shaker (song)

She makes the ground
Shake beneath your feet
You hear a symphony
Every time she speaks
She lets you feel strong
Even when you know you’re weak

She takes you in to her home
Like a stray dog on the street
The more you have
The more you need
She’s everything
You want to be

Let it all go…let it all go
You've got to lose yourself
And let it go
Earth shaking
Will breaking
Bring me to my knees
Lose all self-control
You’re the sweetest sadness in my soul

You’re telling her things
You don’t want her to know
She opens a window
Right into your soul
She touches you softly
Like an evening breeze

She gives meaning to your life
She makes you doubt
Everything you believe
She leaves you begging
Down on your knees

Let it all go…let it all go
You've got to lose yourself
And let it go
Earth shaking
Will breaking
Bring me to my knees
Lose all self-control
You’re the sweetest sadness in my soul

Shake...Shake...Shake it up
Shake...Shake...Shake me up

You’re ready to make a deal
She’s got you spinning like a roulette wheel
Working up your nerve
You’re going to gamble your life on her
It’s the future to win
And your past to lose
You placed your bet
Now it’s time to choose
You’re going to prove
This love you have is true

Let it all go…let it all go
You've got to lose yourself
And let it go
Earth shaking
Will breaking
Bring me to my knees
Lose all self-control
You’re the sweetest sadness
You're the sweetest sadness 
The sweetest sadness in my soul
