ONLY HERE FOR YOU

Everyone keeps telling me to quantify and clarify
They're saying I should demystify and justify my life
I'm running out of time to find what I consider satisfies
The hunger in my soul, that's my goal
It's why I'm at this party looking at you while I'm standing on my own

And there's nothing I can do
What they say is true
There's no other point of view
I'm only here for you
It would make me blue
Not to see it through
I will stick to you like glue
I'm only here for you

Sometimes I am terrified by evidence I can't deny
In order to identify the feelings in my heart
There's never a good reason why I think about or dignify
The insults but I'm weak, I am weak
It's why I'm at this party looking at you while I'm unable to speak

And there's nothing I can do
What they say is true
There's no other point of view
I'm only here for you
It would make me blue
Not to see it through
I will stick to you like glue
I'm only here for you

I can hear them whispering
I can't hear what they're whispering
But I can guess
It seems to be that
Everyone can look right into me

And there's nothing I can do
What they say is true
There's no other point of view
I'm only here for you
It would make me blue
Not to see it through
I will stick to you like glue
I'm only here for you
And there's nothing I can do
What they say is true
There's no other point of view
I'm only here for you
It would make me blue
Not to see it through
I will stick to you like glue
I'm only here for you

ONE MORE KISS

Face to face
In our own space
Eye to eye
We stand aligned

I can feel
Your warm embrace
Here inside my heart

There must be a word to describe this
I’m unsure what it is
But I think I will know
With one more kiss

Nice and slow
We go toe to toe 
As we do
I’m lost in you

From your touch
I sense so much
Here inside my heart

There must be a word to describe this
I’m unsure what it is
But I think I will know
With one more kiss
I think I will know 
With one more kiss
I think I will know
With one more kiss
I think I will know
With one more kiss

When you are
Like you are
Close to me
Why do I find it so hard to breathe

There must be a word to describe this #
I’m unsure what it is
But I think I will know (I think I will know)
With one more kiss
I think I will know (I think I will know) 
With one more kiss
I think I will know (I think I will know)
With one more kiss
I think I will know (I think I will know)
With one more kiss

FOREVER

Take your time
Breathe the air
Feel the love
Everywhere

Here and now
More and more
You can be 
So sure
Of me

And it's never been more true
The future's right in front of you
Where the stars tell you to go
Will you let me follow

All the way
All the way
All the way to forever

If you are there then so am I
If we stay young we'll never die
With just a word you can make me cry
Forever waits for us tonight
Forever
Waits for us tonight
Forever
Waits for us tonight
Forever
Waits for us tonight

You could face the world alone
Your destiny is yours to own
But where the stars tell you to go
Will you let me follow

If you are there then so am I
If we stay young we'll never die
With just a word you can make me cry
Forever waits for us tonight (tonight)
If you are there then so am I
If we stay young we'll never die
With just a word you can make me cry
Forever waits for us tonight

Forever
Waits for us tonight
Forever
Waits for us tonight
Forever 
Waits for us tonight

 FIRE ON THE LINE

He reads the paper on the morning train
More stories of a world insane
She puts on headphones to block out the sound
Of a conversation way too loud
In a different time, a different age
Ooh you would feel the underlying rage
Far too many people in one place
Not enough personal space

Banish the doubt
Time's running out

There's a fire on the line
Another predicted deadly warning sign
Fire on the line
Stopping any progress by default or design
Fire, fire, fire on the line
Fire, fire, fire on the line

Sad people checking on their mobile phones
Learn of a new attack by drones
In a country many miles away
So it doesn't matter here today
Underneath the ever-burning sun
We fight the heat but the heat has won
Can you see a light the colour's red
It should fill us all with fear and dread

Banish the doubt
Time's running out

There's a fire on the line
Another predicted deadly warning sign
Fire on the line
Stopping any progress by default or design
Fire, fire, fire on the line
Fire, fire, fire on the line

Slow down, slow down
The merry-go-round
Slow down, slow down
The merry-go-round

There's a fire on the line
Another predicted deadly warning sign
Fire on the line 
Stopping any progress by default or design
Fire, fire, fire on the line 
Fire, fire, fire on the line

There's a fire on the line
Another predicted deadly warning sign
Fire on the line
Stopping any progress by default or design
Fire, fire, fire on the line
Fire, fire, fire on the line
