The Push
You push too hard my limit will break,
The first time you pushed was a big mistake.
The higher you climb the more you don't see,
That person under your boot is my trying to break free.
Never a giver all you did was take,
Do you know the hell I feel?
All I know is forsake.
Higher, higher, higher. Push me to break...
And yet I hold on for love's sake,
What a joke...
All you leave is heartache.
Higher, higher, higher. Push me to break,
Higher, higher, higher. On your cross I break...
Water
I can't help but dream of water,
I feel you wash over me,
lost in my dreams of water,
oh, please don't wake me...
I’m drowning in your eyes,
No one can save me,
Lost in love,
Lost in your inner sea...
I can't help but dream of water,
all I need is to drink of thee,
lost in my dreams of water,
you flow right into me,
I can't help but dream of water,
I feel you wash over me,
lost in my dreams of water,
oh, please don't wake me...
Everything you say,
everything you do,
every way you move,
endears me to you...
I’m drowning in your eyes,
No one can save me,
Lost in love,
Lost in your inner sea...
I can't help but dream of water,
all I need is to drink of thee,
lost in my dreams of water,
you flow right into me,
I can't help but dream of water,
I feel you wash over me,
lost in my dreams of water,
oh, please don't wake me...
Everything you say,
everything you do,
every way you move,
endears me to you...
Always yours,
is how I will stay,
and together we'll be,
till the sky drinks the seas...
Muse
I can feel the passion,
As she flows through me,
Never know where we're going,
Only at the end I see.
In my mind she enters,
Never stood a chance,
Arms out wide, she welcomes,
Lost in a dance.
Innocent to her spell,
My heart, mine to lose,
There will be no return,
I'm taken by the muse...

Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My love burning for you,
Every caring kiss,
Every sunny smile,
I will always be true.
There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you...
Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My heart beating for you,
Every longing caress,
Every "I Love You,"
I'll be here waiting for you.
There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you...
There is nothing that I'd rather do,
than dance through the raindrops with you,
Time after time you're the one that I choose,
I'll always dance through the raindrops with you...
Every sweet word you say,
Every little thing you do,
My love...
Mr. Nice Guy
I was thinking the other night,
When'd my lying begin?
Always tried to do what's right,
there I go failing again.
(chorus) How much more smiling will this take?
I'm so fake, to the point I break,
Try to be nice for nice sake,
But I try... Mr. Nice Guy.
Should this be my cross to bare?
to have you as my friend,
it's hurts too much for me to care,
there I go failing again.
How much more smiling will this take?
I'm so fake, to the point I break,
Try to be nice for nice sake,
But I try... Mr. Nice Guy.
How much more smiling will this take?
I'm so fake, to the point I break,
Try to be nice for nice sake,
But I try... Mr. Nice Guy.
There I go failing again...
Hush
Hush, little baby don't you cry,
Momma's gonna tell you a little lie,
seems the world isn't good for you,
nothing left for you to do,
all those plans you have in store,
feel's just like another closed door...
Hush, little baby don't you cry,
Momma's gonna tell you a little lie,
sometimes love doesn't work out right,
who's going to hold you tonight?
Hush, little baby don't you cry,
Momma's gonna tell you a little lie,
all those hopes and dreams for you,
couldn't live up to what you'd do,
you struggle, try the best you can,
you try to be a better man...
You kick, you scream,
trapped in this dream,
you'd think you'd learn,
hush as hope burns,
you cry, you bleed,
chasing each need,
but still you return,
hush as hope burns...
Shelter
Sunshine,
days of past when your love was mine,
Rain clouds,
seems our love has run out of time...
No shelter from this storm,
only left to mourn...
Heartache,
only wanted me when you were gone,
Shelter,
me from all the pain that once was us,
Oh Baby,
it drags me down to think of you,
Sometimes,
it's all that I could ever do...
No shelter from this storm,
only left to mourn...
Time Passes
I want to hold you
-Time Passes
I love everything you do,
-Time Passes
I hope you'll understand,
-Time Passes
Though time slips through our hands,
I belong to you...
My Sweet Emily G F# C D
Travelin' down this dusty road,
never know what you might find,
glad for this fork in the road,
you're always on my mind...
D
(Chorus): And we go walking,
C D
Always hand + hand,
D C
Spend the time talking,
C D C
you make me a better man...
My Sweet Emily, My Sweet Emily...
All you do in this life,
can't help it, makes me smile,
our joy cuts through the strife,
you make my life worth while... (Chorus)
Grateful our chance has begun,
all I want is to dance with you,
the best thing I've ever done,
was getting to meet you... (Chorus x2)
