Let's Get Started


Let's Get Started


You’ve got the money
Honey, I’ve got the time
You’ve got the words
I’ve got the rhyme
I’ve got the whiskey
Baby you've got the wine

Come on…come on let’s get started
Come on…come on let’s get started
There’s no need to feel brokenhearted
Come on…come on let’s get started
Forget about the past 
Let’s make something new
It’s the perfect mix of just me and you
Come on…come on let’s get started

You’ve got the karma
I’ve got the grace
You’ve got style
But Sugar, I’ve got taste
I’ll take the risks
If you play it safe

Come on…come on let’s get started
Come on…come on let’s get started
There’s no need to feel brokenhearted
Come on…come on let’s get started
Forget about the past 
Let’s make something new
It’s the perfect mix of just me and you
Come on…come on let’s get started

I’ve got the smoke
You’ve got the spark
I’ve got soul
Baby you’ve got heart
You’ve got it together
But I keep falling apart

Forget about the past 
Let’s make something new
It’s the perfect mix of just me and you

Come on…come on let’s get started
Come on…come on let’s get started
Come on…come on Come on...come on
Come on…come on let’s get started

Let Me Believe - Rewrite (Song Creation Workshop Version)


Let Me Believe (version 2)

You skipped your stone across the water
Made a wish and blew a kiss
Took my hand then parted the sea

Let me believe
Let me believe

You punched a hole in the sky
Made the clouds start to cry
Raining their tears down on me

Let me believe
Let me believe

In a love that shakes the mountains
Turns deserts into fountains
Unlocks the mystery in a heart
Without any key
Let me believe
Let me believe

Ooooh you shake the mountains
Ooooh let me believe
Let me believe
  
You’re holding back your heart
The night is littered with broken promises
Abandoned in the dark

Let me believe
Let me believe

Don’t leave me this way
I swallowed my pride
But I’m choking on the words I couldn’t say

Let me believe
Let me believe

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

Ooooh you shake the mountains
Ooooh let me believe
Let me believe

The days are getting colder
Shake the world off my shoulders
Don’t waste your time believing liars
Consume me with your fire
Break down the door
I’m picking the pieces up off the floor
I’m not the same any more
Take a field full of flowers and plant them on the moon
See the beauty of your soul start to bloom

Let me believe
Let me believe
Let me believe
Ooooh you’re skipping stones across the water
Ooooh shake the mountains and part the sea
Let me believe
Let me believe


October Winds



October Winds

October winds are blowing
I can feel my heart is swaying
We’ve been talking all night       
But you can’t hear what I’m saying

We’re just falling leaves in the October wind
Drifting together
Then blown apart again
October wind

October winds are blowing
We’ve been changing our colors
Moving forward but going nowhere
I keep looking back for the summer

We’re just falling leaves in the October wind
Drifting together
Then blown apart again
October wind

Our hearts are in constant rotation
Keeping our life spinning
I’m trying to find the right direction
There’s a chill in the air
I’m holding on to you tight
Don’t let go
As October winds carry us through the night

October winds
October winds
October winds are blowing again
October
October

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
