Lifetimes keep passing in the wind
A sirens dream, a love mistaken
and sometimes the pieces just don't fit
so why do we all try so hard to make them?
Do you find it hard to sleep because you think of me?
When you finally fall asleep do you still meet me in your dreams?
Do you find it hard to tell what's or just make believe?
'cause I'm finally finding what's real and fake to me
and I'm right where I'm supposed to be
I hear the cries of sirens from the cliffs
so I built these walls to try to avert them
and sometimes I get so sick of it
sitting behind my walls waiting for someone true to break them

i fall for every girl i see
like every time its meant to be
though in the night time i feel free
the moonlight always lies to me
and then the moonlight brought to me
a song from distant memory
she was all that I could see
she was everything to me
its a long road home
even longer on your own
and i swore i'd never walk back here alone
yeah we made a pact
never to look back
but i did anyway
she walked me through a world unknown
and told me i was not alone
i placed her hand inside my own
and we both found a place called home
i never let her out my sight
and held her close with all my might
i saw her all dressed up in white
and never saw the moon so bright
chorus
i fall for every girl i see
like every time its meant to be
every night feels right to me
but the moonlight always lied to me

Don't you remember the day when we first talked
On an unexpected Sunday afternoon
It wasn't cold, it wasn't too dark
It was the perfect introduction late in June
The moon was bright and the words were few
On the day I fell for you
I could only find one thing to say
I will love you
like I was made to
And there's nothing that could make me walk away
'cause I feel you when your eyes meet mine
And it gets me every time
I can't wait to feel that every day
I can't remember
Exactly what words we spoke
On that unexpected Wednesday afternoon
That morning was so cold and so were our hearts
So I crumbled down and gave up way too soon
The noise was loud, though words were few
The night things came unglued
I could only find one thing to say
I'm sorry I left you
It's not that I wanted to
I had questions, but didn't know the words to say
Is true true love is really blind?
And is it only ours to find?
And did you even care about me yesterday?
I know that time it flies
But it must fly much faster for you,
And I know the times they change,
But that don't mean that we have to
You still make my heart beat faster and harder too
And my face lights up when I hear from you
But I guess here's the last thing I'll say
I hope he loves you
Like I was meant to
And tells you all the things I couldn't say
You're still the angel in this heart of mine
And you're always on my mind
I wish you the best for both of you anyway

A Moment

We're caught somewhere between reality and a dream
We're forced to try to feel something that we can hardly ever see
Sometimes I get caught up in the distance that's between
I feel I'm by myself but I know that you are with me
Until it's over won't you stay here?
Listen, lover, it'll be okay, yes it will
I found you somewhere between a fairy tale and a dream
and I was blown away by everything I was seeing
I stay up late remembering the things you say to me
remembering the way you taste so sweet
Why can't I feel this every day?
Until it's over won't you stay here?
Listen, lover, it'll be okay, yes it will
If I could have you for a moment
Let me ask you just one thing
Would it mean anything to you if I said
I can't help but dream of you and wonder if you'll love me too?
and hope that this will never fade away
I hope tonight you stay
If I could have you for a moment
Let me ask you just one thing

Carry Me Home

Underneath these skies and by these trees
Will the wind favor me more?
Can this home be mine?
Could we share it for a while,
Just mine and yours?
I've been to everywhere you're coming from
I've been through the things that we both fear
We've missed our chance but when all's said and done
We realize time is all that we have here
so take all the time you need but please remember
to carry me home
Underneath these lights
We'll hold on tight and I can promise
We can weather any storm
Take this heart of mine
Guard it from all of the darkness
and I swear I'll treasure yours
I've been to everywhere you're coming from
I've been through the things that we both fear
All the games we've played but never won
but now our time is drawing near
so take all the time you need but please remember
to carry me home
