Track Name: Tired of Missing You
I’ll write you a song with simple words
I’ll write you a song with chords you’ve heard
I’ll write you a simple melody
With hopes you’ll understand it and come back to me

I’ll think of you time and again
but I’ll lie to you because it’s everyday my friend
And I’ll wholeheartedly wish you well
You need it more than me oh boy – can’t you tell?
---
I’ll sing it to you until you know
that my life is only going… so so
‘cause I’m tired I’m tired I’m tired of missing you
I’m tired I’m so tired of missing you
---

I’ll let my single life set me free and overcharge my credit card – it’s good for me
and I’ll eat your heart in chocolate bar
and hope that you are fat at our next encounter

---

To you I’m so put together
I’ve moved on from you
I’ll look back never
Open your eyes and see I’ve been waiting here for you to
Come back to me
Woah...

And I know this doesn’t sound like me
But how would you know You left me so prematurely
and I’ll feel better I know some day soon
and remember you as a good guy once I’ve met someone new

I’ll sing it to you until you know
that my life is only going… so so
‘cause I’m tired I’m tired I’m tired of missing you
I’m tired I’m so tired of missing you
Track Name: Reverie
I dreamt of you through a midnight moon
A silhouette on a distant shore
Two colliding waves so pure

On a family camping trip with fire on your lips
Stargazing I wrote this song
Come sunrise you’d be gone

CHORUS
And I know that you would be a dream come true
A world created in my mind as my eyes flutter on all night
Don’t tell me you don’t imagine my face all the time
My features askew but my voice so clear it chimes
That you are the one I’ve been waiting for

Your eyes pierce mine
As I sleep beside a cloud armed with our future
Trailing your scent through the air

CHORUS

So if you can feel me too, in your reveries please do
let the evening’s force push you to my reality so true
I wanna share this life with you
let’s create a world bran new
together forever in blue
together forever 'cause you
yes you are the one I’ve been waiting for

you are the one I’ve been waiting for

together forever x4
Track Name: You Will Find Yourself
You asked me how I got here
Did I follow a formula or steer clear of the harm some could send my way?
And I realized oh I realized
It wasn’t so long ago when I felt so low
But something keeps changing year by year

So I say honey don’t let go of the thoughts you have now
They’re useful oh they’ll teach you where to go from here
Hold on to those horrid feelings
I know it’s painful but you’ll get by, you’ll get by, you’ll get by

---
And you will find yourself
Yes you’ll find yourself
It takes time and help along the way
the road’s unsteady take care
so leave your baggage back there
hold tight stop and stare
and you’ll soon be here
---

My dad would say to me: darling don’t think of the others, follow your own road
I still feel shadows from my past
But you live and you try to see the other side
when you’re sinking just remember one thing

---
That you will find yourself
Yes you’ll find yourself
It takes time and help along the way
the road’s unsteady take care
so leave your baggage back there
hold tight stop and stare
and you’ll soon be here
---

Oh and I know that it can feel hard to grow
when the world is spinning out of control
but the grass is green and last night I fell asleep
and the warmth of the sun just made my day

So what has changed?
For years I felt so strange
Am I growing old or growing into my own?
and the peak-a-boo window into my old heart
will set me apart and make me say one thing to you

---
That you will find yourself
Yes you’ll find yourself
It takes time and help along the way
the road’s unsteady take care
so leave your baggage back there
hold tight stop and stare
and you’ll soon be here
and you will find yourself
Yes you’ll find yourself
hold tight, hold tight, stop and stare
and you’ll soon be here
---
Track Name: I Knew
Did I tell you when I met you that I knew?
I’d fall for you
Every time I saw your face I just thought of my dreams coming true
I made you laugh, I made you blush
When you touched me I felt a rush
Baby don’t be scared, for you I’ll always be right here

When I thought of the changes we’d have to go through
I knew, I knew
Things could never be the same with someone else
And you’re to blame
You stole my heart, you shook my soul
With no other could I feel whole
Baby don’t be scared, for you I’ll always be
Right here

If these past years have shown me one thing about our love
Through any challenges that life brings
Oh we’ll grow strong
I’m not the one, I used to be
You’ve made me better so obviously
Baby can’t you see, for you I’ll always be...

So don’t, don’t fall for me
Don’t love me
Don’t hug me unless you
Know that it’s forever baby
Know that it’s forever baby, Oh
‘Cause I love you so

When I think of the days to come, honey
You fill them up
Any struggles that I may face
With your embrace
Babe with you I’ll never fall
Through thick and thin, right till the end
We’ll laugh our way through because we can
My feelings are true, so believe me babe
I love you

We’ll conquer all, the big and small
Babe together we can’t fall
Through thick and thin, right till the end
We’ll laugh our way through because we can
My feelings are true, so believe me babe
I love you
Track Name: Unequally
If time were to roll on slowly
I wouldn’t be rushing to make you see me
If I could just be there in the meantime
Then maybe, just maybe – things would all feel fine

It’s a funny world out there
and you fit right in with your long hair
If you could just see them standing before me
Your lies, your eyes, your hopes, your skies would see what they’re missing

And you say that things are so fair
And it’s a choice not to conform
But you don’t know
what it’s like to lose self control

and in your eyes it’s so silly
to deprive myself of you purposely
but please face it baby
we live here unequally

together feels different than apart
we fell slowly, and now I’m nursing my heart
and she’s on the line now and you’re sitting all alone
deciding who to put on hold

don’t protect me, lay it down thick and clean
at least that way you’ll only suffocate one part of me
If I stole your soul now would it make a difference?
Years after you ripped apart my innocence

And you say that things are so fair
And it’s a choice not to conform
But you don’t know
what it’s like to feel like a whore

and in your eyes it’s so silly
to deprive myself of you purposely
but please face it baby
we live here unequally

and if you say things are so fair
and it’s a choice not to conform
Why do you know
what it’s like to lose self control?

and in your eyes it’s so silly
to deprive myself of your energy
but please face it baby
we live here unequally

we live here unequally
Track Name: Melody of Your Love
I wish you loved me the way I do you
That feeling of wanting as much as I do
But you’re happy with me the way things stand
No need to take things further no need to understand how I feel

I wish that you’d let go of your fear to commit
‘Cause I think you want me, think I could be it
And though she’s just as pleasant I can’t believe it’s true
That when you boy are near her she moves you like I do
I could be wrong

I wish I could write the words on your lips
Like this song I’d erase them until they all fit
In 4 minutes of airtime that I could repeat
When my heart’s feeling broken and yearning the melody of your love
