VERSE
I’m getting ready to change my ways
Find myself in a loving place
I wanna know you, come on and hold you yeah
So turn up the heat and the lights down low,
Don’t let anything break our flow
I would never stray from your love
We could be so bad together
We could be so bad we’re good…ahhh
CHORUS
The way I see you the way I feel you, the way I need you
Is keeping me up at night
The way I see you the way I feel you, the way I need you
Is right here by my side
I see us doing bright, bright things
I see us living and loving- sharing our dreams
That’s the way I see you the way I see you
Is right here by my side
VERSE
I wanna give you the best of me
I wanna do everything I can to make you happy
I wanna know what turns you on
So let’s take it nice and slow,
Heaven is a place where we can go
Let me show you now
We could be so bad together
We could be so bad we’re good…ahhh
CHORUS REPEAT
Holding On
He got me working overtime
Caught between the reason and the rhyme
When a man like that is a man of mine
He got me tripping all over my feet,
and you know my smarts ain’t street
But a good man is hard to find
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Nobody said it has to last forever
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Sometimes things get bad
before they get better
So he's from the wrong side of the tracks
I try not to think about that and relax
'Cause of the way he makes me feel
Yeah, I'd love to find a person who
Is perfect in everything they say and do
But you know perfection's never real
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Nobody said it has to last forever
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Sometimes things get bad
before they get better
There’s been times when I lost my mind
I’ve been putting in overtime
Staying on my grind
You’re my star. so I’m trying to get you
these stars that will help you shine, help you shine
These streets made me, but I leave it all behind, all behind
You know, you know
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Nobody said it has to last forever
So I'm holding on
I don't think it's wrong
if I'm not that strong
Sometimes things get bad
before they get better
So he's from the wrong side of the tracks
I try not to think about that and relax
'Cause of the way he makes me feel
Lifeline
Well, his bar sure is empty
About as empty as my heart
But those bottles look like
There’s life left in them,
And I got time to talk
You can sit down if you want to,
Throw some conversation my way.
'Cause me, I’m just drinking
Memories of better days
If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying
Stretching out the truth,
Doing a little denying to ease my pain
I need to remember the way that he held me,
And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me
I wanna feel that rush of love again
So won't you please, please, please be kind
Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline
Well, I know beggars can’t be choosy
But tell me, who’s really choosing who?
I mean, we’re both sitting here reminded
Of lovers we once knew
Requesting their favorite songs from that bartender,
Watching their ghosts walk through that door
How come love always starts out so easy,
‘Till someone ends up wanting more
If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying
Stretching out the truth,
Doing a little denying to ease my pain
I need to remember the way that he held me,
And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me
I wanna feel that rush of love again
So won't you please, please, please be kind
Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline
When sun comes up, I swear I’ll deal with who I am
But can I rest here on this bar chair until then?
If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying
Stretching out the truth,
Doing a little denying to ease my pain
I need to remember the way that he held me,
And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me
I wanna feel that rush of love again
So won't you please, please, please be kind
Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline
end that you’re him
Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline
Vagrant of Winds
He comes along every blue moon night,
Knows I’ve been waiting like a harbor light,
welcoming home that old familiar tide
of loving and longing in vain
He’ll sail on in with the same promise in his eyes.
He’ll see through my insouciance;
He’ll see through my false pride
Knowing I traced his path of stars through time
and prayed they’d lead him back home
Isn’t it time to give it a rest?
My only crime is I’ve settled for less
I don’t know where love ends or begins,
When my love is a Vagrant of Winds
I wish, I wish that blue moon,
I wish that blue moon would change it’s colors.
So, like the season, I could change lovers
I can’t let go yet; my heart wants to forget
that a vagrant dreams only alone
Isn’t it time to give it a rest?
My only crime is I’ve settled for less
I don’t know where love ends or begins,
When my love is a Vagrant of Winds
