Your Smile 03:57
Your eyes They aren’t a window to your soul But to mine I see A better friend within me When I’m with you You laugh I cry You smile I’m fine It doesn’t fix the world But it sure does fix me A friend like you brings more than happiness More than laughter, more than sunshine You bring something more worthwhile ‘Cause when all the world starts falling down, and I’m a broken mess You’re always there beside me with a smile I hear Your voice surrounds me And I know that it’s true Then I sing Back to you And I hope that you understand me when I do When you laugh Then I cry And when you smile I know everything will be alright And though it doesn’t change the world You sure have changed me A friend like you is more than temporary The world we make, the world we’ve shaped together’s not yet even done And you have so many smiles left to share, and I have none So maybe I’ll hold on to just this one Maybe I’ll just hold on

If only I could show you How my life has been bettered by you If only you’d believe me When I tell you how much I care I’m not afraid of hoping, of trying But I’m afraid of losing you If only you could see The smile you leave on my heart And if we just believe enough Maybe that would be a start I’m not afraid of hurting, of crying But I’m afraid of who I’d be without you I wish that you were here with me Wish I’d reach out and you would be there And though it hurts to miss you so It’s the most beautiful pain in the world I’m just afraid of distance, of silence But when you’re here I know I don’t need to be afraid I’m not afraid, not anymore

Best Friends 05:40
Hey, funny girl How’s it work you’d end up here Said hey, that’s my world And it’s not used to all this shaking But I’m no stranger to change No anger or blame For all that you’re bringing So come, bring yourself right over here Run, and let me hold you dear We can face this change together Ooh, ain’t it true That every message I’ve been writing Was a love letter in hiding And oh, make it so Cause this is where the postcard ends “You are my best friend" Say, ain’t great How you asked me out for coffee I know, it wasn’t a date But that was pretty cool to me So yeah, asked me out again, that’s cool Smoothies, conversations, you Had me wrapped around your thumb It wasn’t like I was playing dumb But I’m truly pretty dumb Guess you got me figured out Said ooh, ain’t it true That every song that I’ve been singing Had a harmony that’s missing And now oh, I hope you know That those adventures never end ‘Cause you are my best friend You and I are always gonna Be the best of friends And though we may be more I know I’m sure that’s never gonna change It only takes a little look To see that you and I are hooked Oh, I hate to burst your bubble ‘Cause, we don’t need no science degree To know that we have chemistry Yeah, we’re not so freaking subtle Now ooh, I’ve got you And I know, it can be scary But you know, I’ll be right there beside you Oh, the mistletoe Is hanging there the whole year round It doesn’t matter if it’s found And if you think that’s quite a stretch I think you ain’t seen nothing yet And though sometimes we might pretend Like everything must have an end Well that’s a notion I’ll upend ‘Cause you will always be my friend You will always be my friend

“Once in a lifetime,” comes every day In little moments, or adventures that we find And for some reason you make it that way And for me, that’s more than fine ‘Cause sometimes ‘forever’ means ‘maybe’ And sometimes we crash when we fall But just know in your heart that’s it’s true for you That I won’t leave you behind It doesn’t take a lot of words to tell you how I feel Not like we usually rely on words anyway But some things need to be let out to become something real And let me tell you, I’ve got a lot to say I have so much to be thankful for in you From every smile, every laugh, and every touch Your wild passion is the reason that I grew I only hope I’ve done enough to mean as much ‘Cause sometimes “I love you’s” fall empty And sometimes we’ll fight our past But you’ll never have to find yourself all alone ‘Cause I’ll always be your friend And you’ll always have a home here in my heart It doesn’t matter what time brings We can take on anything And if it feels like some days you’re just gonna fall apart You should know that I am here with you Know that believe in you And know I won’t go anywhere without you there “Once in a lifetime,” is what you are In every smile, or the way you say my name And knowing how you feel for me fills my heart And just know, I feel the same ‘Cause sometimes ‘forever’ means ‘always’ And I’ll catch you when you fall Please just know in your heart that it’s true for you That I won’t leave you I’ll always keep you No, I’ll never leave you behind

You and Me 06:06
I wish I had your voice To whisper in my ear How everything’s alright How we are still near But though we’re far apart You know I’m here for you No matter where we are This will still be true I wish I had your fingers Intertwined in mine To trace along my skin To follow every line And even though I’m missing Everything you are At least we have the moon At least we have the stars And I’m not a perfect man But I promise you I’ll try And it’s not a perfect plan But just give me tonight And I’ll make you believe it Even if you can’t quite see it That you’re where I wanna be That I believe in you and me I know some days are tough I know you try your best But it doesn’t make you weaker To give yourself a rest I’ll help you where I can I’ll keep you on your feet You know you can depend On leaving some to me And I’m not a perfect man But I promise you I’ll try And I’m not the only one But I’ll still be here tonight And I’ll make sure you see it Even if you don’t believe it That I’m where you oughta be That I believe in you and me So you can let your guard down And let me see you really You know it’s all or nothing So give me more than sunny Give me your bad Give me your worst Give me your “I just want to run away” “I just want to end today” Baby, what I’m trying to say is I will follow you I will carry you I just want to be with you To stay Wherever we may go Whatever I may be You can reach into my heart And take out what you need Just tell me what you’re thinking And tell me what you dream I’ll work to make it happen To be reality And I’m not a perfect man But I promise you I’ll try So darling understand That I’m always on your side And I still can’t believe it Even though I can see it This opportunity The song of “you and me”

Away, away, I sent my heart And lost it in a sea of dark For four long years it fell apart Away, away, I sent my heart Along, along you came my way And brought with you the summer’s day I’ve waited this long just to say That like a song, you came my way And I tried, I tried To hold it all inside But then I saw your eyes And that’s the way that it starts When you pulled me right out of the dark I had my walls up at the start My palisades, a work of art But then you blew them clean apart That’s when I knew you’d found my heart You came in like a burst of sky Lighting up my tired eyes You never even had to try You crashed into me in like a burst of sky Cause you tried, you tried To build me up inside I could never lie You’ve got me now, I’m yours It only took a moment to be sure Now you’re here, you’re here And everything is clear So darling have no fear Cause all that’s left is this That I’ll try, I’ll try To keep you safe and bright For now I’ve seen your light And all that’s left is this There’s nothing left to wish You’ve given me my heart back with a kiss Away, away, you took my heart Across the sea, without a chart You found me sitting in the dark But then you came, and brought a spark You lit me up, and now we can finally start

Alone 08:29
Softly, gently, the glow begins I knew at once what it was Not what I chose, yet it pulls me in But I know that it will have to end I feel some comfort knowing This is something real Try to rise to the occasion Try to heal Still I know that it will have to end But it’s only temporary I will make my way back home I will find myself there or on the way At least I won’t be alone Tired, broken, I let her win I know the way that this goes Not how I chose, but she hurts again And I know that this will have to end I try to find some comfort knowing This is how we grow Try to find a new familiar Try to hope At least I have you now, my friend And it’s only temporary I will find my way back home I will find myself there or on the way And then I won’t be alone Lost and needing, you let me in I wish I knew your heartbeat If I could choose, you’d hold me then In an embrace that would never end I find some comfort knowing This is how I feel Try to focus on the glowing Don’t reveal I wish I knew how this will end But it’s only temporary I will find my heart a home I will find a place no matter where And hope that I’m not alone Somehow, you were the same as me I promise I won’t let you go Of all my choices You were all I wanted there to be And I want to be all that you see And there is comfort waiting here Safe within my arms I will hold you and I’ll protect you I will keep you safe and warm And you will always have me, my friend And whatever may be temporary Know that I will be your home I will guide you on your journey You will never be alone And in you, I’m not alone

Seen 05:12
When will you look forward? I’m ready to be seen And now, I'm seen
9.
How the sky looks Depends on you You showed me kindness You showed me truth But My mouth won’t open You’re deaf to me If you could hear You’d hear me sing You held my hand You smiled wide I wish you knew Me down inside I’d wait for you I’d take my time To look at you To share your light But I’ll take the sky Where it is today If all I have Is your memory
