LYRICS
 

CREED - ARMS WIDE OPEN
 
Well I just heard
The news today
Seems my life
Is gonna change
I close my eyes
Begin to pray
And tears of joy
Stream down my face
 
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open...
With arms wide open...
 
Well I don't know
If I'm ready
To be the man
I have to be
I'll take a breath
I'll take her by my side
We stand it all
We've created life

[Chorus]
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open...
With arms wide open...
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open, wide open..

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not that me
I hope he understand
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can read the world
With arms wide open, yeah

repeat [Chorus]
 

NINE DAYS - ABSOLUTELY (STORY OF A GIRL)

[Intro]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river
And drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many days in a year
She woke up with hope and she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Makin' her promise is never for real
As long as she stands there waitin'
Wearin' the holes on the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

[Chorus]
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

repeat [Intro]

How many lovers mistake
Just to put up with this each day after day
How did we wind up this way
Watching the mouths with the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose
How do we get there today?
We've been walking too far for the price of the shoes

repeat [Chorus]

repeat [Intro]
 
repeat [Chorus]

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river
And drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her...

This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face
She hid from the world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her...

repeat [Chorus]

When she smiles...
 

MATCHBOX 20 - BENT
 
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
 
If I need some other love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then..
Well just hold me again

[Chorus]
Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Keep breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me.. bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Well just breaking my skin

repeat [Chorus]

Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me on
Till I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Well just touch me again

repeat [Chorus]
Without understanding
Hell I know that I can't

repeat [Chorus]
