Trip On Love
I let my guard down in the momentary lapse of emotion
It just slipped out and we both knew my heart could be broken
I said something I never intended to say, you stopped laughing
And I said do you feel alone in that way?
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone do it make it tragic?
If you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up do you trip on love?
I just stood there, I’d expected another reaction.
Out of thin air came the strangest sense of satisfaction.
Can you tell me how you see me so well?
If you help me would you let me see that part of yourself?
Where do we go? Do we say this means less than we know it does?
Please tell me.
When the word comes up do you trip on love
Don’t you wanna love me no more
I just wanna love you same more.
First Date
It's late at night about 12 and everyone is fast asleep
Just you and I are left now, we both take a seat.
The mood around us changes, although we act as if it’s not.
And we stare at the television, we glance at each other a lot.
I can feel my heart beat racing, I wonder if yours is too.
Cause all that I really want is a chance to touch you.
So we stay up all night and talk a little longer.
We stay up all night and our friendship become stronger.
We stay up all night and leave our daily lives behind.
It was so great.
Was that our first date?
Our first date.
We move to the same couch, just slightly separated.
We humor ourselves, with the feeling anticipated.
We exchange and try on each other's rings, just to brush over our hands.
The attraction that we're circling is so hard to withstand.
So we stay up all night and talk a little longer.
We stay up all night and our friendship become stronger.
We stay up all night and leave our daily lives behind.
It was so great.
Was that our first date?
Our first date.
A new song I wrote I play to you I thought just to take up
some time
But the word's design gave you a clue that I want to be yours and you mine.
Our first date
Our first date
Home
Hey, what's your name?
Do you live around here?
Don't I know your face?
You say I've been a stranger for too long.
And I didn't even notice I was gone
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There's a million places I can go, but without you it ain't home.
Please say
What I need to hear you say
Say I'm thoughtless and foolish
But say it's not too late
Now I don't know exactly where we go from here
Trying is the only way we'll know
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There’s a million places I can go, but without you it ain't
It ain't hopeless please believe me.
Don't give up cause we're halfway there
We're at the crossroads in the middle
Between hope between despair
All we need is some direction
Let me know you'll wait for me
'Cause where you are is where I'll be
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There's a million places I can go but without you it ain't home
It ain't home.
Let’s Do It For Love
Money power fame
Money power
Let's go
There's a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
I wonder what would happen if we stopped and broke that rule.
They could keep all their money and they could take back these credit cards.
There's a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
Come on world, let's talk about it
I want to do it for the money, I want to do it for ,

I want to do it for power, I want to do it for the glory
Let’s do it for love, let’s do it for us
Let’s do it for love, let’s do it just this once.
There’s a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
Wouldn’t this world be a better place if we saw the truth.
They could keep all their money and we could burn all our mastercards.
There’s a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
We gotta a little time, let’s talk about it
.
I want to do it for the money, I want to do it for ,
I want to do it for my career, I want to do it for fame,
I want to do it for power, I want to do it to win.
Let’s do it for love, let’s do it for us.

Come on come on under the gun
Come on come on I watch you run
Come on come on your not the only one
There’s a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
We need one.
I DO
When everything around you starts to crumble
And you wonder how you're even going to make it through the day
And all of a sudden your legs give way, you tumble down
And with every step you take you lose your way
But every once in awhile
Something's got to bring you back
And all the lights spinning 'round
Can't help you remember how
Who could ever understand
But I do. But I do. But I do. But I do.
Will you ever find that happy that you're after
That tenderness that suckle on the vine
Spend all of the days chasing down the answer
To the question that we know you'll never find
But every face is a stranger
How can you know when to trust?
And all the stars in the sky
Can't make you remember why
Who could ever love you now
But I do. But I do. But I do. But I do
And through the darkest night when you're black and blue
Who's going to shine the light? Who still believes in you?
I….
Every once in awhile something's got to bring you back
And all the stars in the sky can't make you remember why
Who could ever understand
But I do
Every once in awhile something's got to bring you back
And all the stars in the sky
Can't make you remember why
Who could ever understand
Every once in awhile something's got to bring you back
And all the stars in the sky
Can't make you remember why
Who could ever understand
I do
No Fear
Come on in now, come in out of the crowd.
Too many faces, too many loud sounds.
Stay awhile, won’t you stay here in front of me.
Take your chances on what could be.
And when it’s cold out, feel no fear
Here’s someone to hold on to now, feel no fear.
So many lights now, their calling me to the night.
So many strangers on this broken avenue.
Feel no fear
Change, won’t you roll me down and I can’t go in.
Change your way won’t you ride me down
Taking Chances
I’m taking chances, I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I wonder slide, slide under the big sky, who’s gonna take care of me.
I’m not sure if I really want to
I’m not sure what it all means
I just want somebody to talk to, to talk to me.
I’m taking chances and I’m talking carelessly.
And I am walking backwards into the future, this world is getting too deep.
I’m not sure if I really want to
I’m not sure what this all means
I just want somebody to hold on, to hold me.
I keep fallin, I keep fallin'
And I keep fallin and I keep tumbling under the deep, deep.
All I can do now is give up the whole thing.
I’m not sure if I really want to
And I’m not sure what this all means, anymore.
I’m taking chances, I’m taking chances
Big Sky
You say you’re tired of this circus life.
Tired of the freaks and the colored lights.
Come on Come on the night is young.
It’s too late to change your mind, you can’t turn back now.
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky.
Close the door and shut off the lights
6 o’clock we’ll be taking flight.
Hold on Hold on and then relax.
Tell everyone were gone and we won’t come back.
So high just you and me and the big sky
That’s all we are, that’s all we are, It’s all forever
So your tired of this crazy crazy life
And no one can save you
How long how long can this go on
You only get one chance and then your gone.
It’s all right, it’s all right
That’s all we are, that’s all we are, It’s all forever.
Family Affair
I sleep all day, what makes me feel this way.
When everything’s a bust, when everything keeps loosing my trust.
Where do we begin with this unhappy ending.
Where do we begin after all that we’ve done.
How do we begin to say I forgive you
And how do we begin to repair this family affair.
I think about the never ending way that my day never seems to want to end
I think about the loneliness of loosing a friend.
Don’t take it away from me
Don’t take away the one love that matters.
And I’ll get well you’ll see.
Your all I have, you’re my family.
Is their ever enough love, ever enough.
Where do we begin picking up the pieces.
Where do we begin after all that’s been said.
And how do we begin to say I still love you.
And how do we begin to repair this family affair.
Don’t take it away from me
Don’t take away the one love that matters.
And we’ll get well, you’ll see
We’re all we have, we’re family, family.
Where do we begin.
Paint On Your Wings
Paint on your wings, it’s time to fly.
Red gold and green, Daddy, the color you like.
Waiting for you
Waiting for you to let it all go, to give up this fight
You’re finally gonna know what’s on the other side.
And the day turns into night as the light falls from your eyes.
Taking away the cup that’s keeping you alive.
Done everything we could, it’s time to stop trying.
Finally free.
Paint on your wings, it’s time to fly.
Red gold and green, Daddy, the colors you like.
Waiting for you
Waiting for you to let it all go to give up the fight.
You’re finally gonna know what’s on the other side.
I Win
OK I win, you’ve finally lost me.
Your letting me go, I’m walking away.
No fight no fight still falling apart
I can’t get you out of my heart
All right all right I lied about loving
A man that I love, a love I won’t have.
It’s true It’s true I’m falling apart
And I can’t get you out of my heart.
Kiss me under the table and we’ll make believe in love
And dream with me under the table
It makes me feel it makes me feel alive.
Something is filling my heart full of secrets
Something is filling my heart full of lies.
Something is taking my lover for granted
Something is making me cry.
Can’t get you out of my heart
OK I win you’ve finally lost me
Your letting me go, I’m walking away
It’s true It’s true I’m falling apart
And I can’t get you out of my heart
Holding on to something so wrong.
The End
This is the end, I just know it.
No reason to pretend anymore, it’s what you’ve always wanted.
I watch you through my rearview as I drive away.
Your image not so clear now, it’s better this way Oh
And all I can do is wish you the best
And all I can do anymore that’s all I have left.
You’ve been telling me for a year now how we don’t get along.
I’m starting to believe you, you’re right, everything’s wrong
And it’s too late to get it back, it’s too late to get it back.
This is the end, I just know it.
No reason to pretend anymore, it’s what you’ve always wanted.
I took down all your pictures, it helps me with the pain.
Things are getting clearer. It gets better everyday. Oh.

Music and Lyrics by Abra Moore

What will we do when the morning comes?
When we say goodbye will we let go let go slow?
And how will it be in the future?
Will we feel the same?
Will we remember?
Here comes that love again it just won't stop us
So we try to be together
Spend all of a lifetime
Trying to find the love we've got
Will it last forever?
Who will we call at the end of the day?
When I check the machine will it be your name?
How will I know when to turn out the light
To ("or" in album version) save you a place forever? ("forever" faintly whispered in album version)
Here comes that love again it just won't stop us
So we try to be together
Spend all of a lifetime
Trying to find the love we've got
Can we try to stay together?
How can I be true?
How can I be true and still have you?
What will we do when the morning comes?
When we say goodbye will we let go slow?
How will it be in the future?
Will we feel the same?
Will we remember?
Here comes love again it just won't stop us
So we try to be together
Spend all of a lifetime
Trying to find the love we've got
Can we try to stay together?
As we pull away, as we pull away, as we pull away, as we pull away, as we pull away, as we pull away
MELANCHOLY LOVE
Well I'll meet you in the middle and I'll crawl to the edge
And I'll stand there forever just to see if I can
And I'll cry a river as I lay in your bed
'Cause I need you like I need the rain
And I need you like I need the man
I need you like I've never needed anything before
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
Well I'll see you there in your midtown square
And I'll see you there and I just won't care
And I'll hold you down but I'll never let you fall
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
But could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why?
Well I'll meet you in the middle and I'll crawl to the edge
And I'll stand there forever just to see if I can
And I'll cry a river as I lay in your bed
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
Yea, we were running wild and young
It was only just for fun
Wasn't it?
This melancholy love
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it
Tell me why I feel so sad about it
Tell me why
EVERYTHING CHANGED
Everything changed
I don't feel the same
Standing in the shower--cryin'
Shouldn't be that hard
I've made it this far
Just wash away the tear that keep fallin'
I don't know why
I never take the time
To slow down
You're moving too fast
Nothing will last
Everything changed
Nobody to blame
Just put away your heart and stop tryin'
I don't know when
I'll ever love again
Just slow down
Moving too fast
Nothing will last
I don't why
I never take the time
To slow down
Moving too fast
Nothing will last
Slow down
IF YOU WANT
If you want me to I lie about the way it really feels
And if you want me to
I'll turn back around and forget the whole deal
But I wanted you
And thought that you wanted it too
But sometimes signals get crossed
And love gets lost
But if you want me to
Just pretend that you didn't mean a thing to me
Deep inside my room I'll hold back the tears that I'll never let you see
'Cause I followed you
Just the way that you wanted me to
I reached out your hand to hold
And you let go
I've fallen in love with you
And it just burns
What else can I do?
'Cause if you want me to I'll lie about the way it really feels
And if you want me to I'll turn back around and forget the whole deal
And I wanted you
And thought that you wanted it too
Sometimes signals get crossed
Sometimes feelings get lost
Just say…
If you want me to…
Shining Star
What if I just let it all out, what if I just put it all down.
What if I twist and shout and can’t stand to see you around.
As blind as I am, as cruel as you are.
I always thought you’d be my shining star.
What if I wish you wish you well
What if I never never sell
What if I keep your heart and pretend I can’t tell.
As blind as I am, as cruel as you are
Should have known we’d never get too far.
You’ll always be my little shining star.
No matter what or where you are.
You’ll always be my little shining star
You keep calling me back to you
You keep calling me back
What are friends for, for.
What if I never leave this place?
What if I dropped out of the race?
What if I traveled around the world only see your face?
Shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...shining....shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...shining...
You keep calling me back to you
You keep calling me back
What are friends for
