When I first saw you I didn't have a clue That one day we'd be where we are I was too wrapped up in the past Had to let it go, let it be Now I’m finally free I'm open to other possibilities Open to the idea of you and me Open to whatever we could be I'm ready for other possibilities Ready to let my imagination run free Ready for you and me Now I see you Right in front of me There's no place I'd rather be Shed my skin in the echoes of the past Let it go, let it be Now it's time for me I'm open to other possibilities Open to the idea of you and me Open to whatever we could be I'm ready for other possibilities Ready to let my imagination run free Ready for you and me

Now! 03:03
Circling each other On the dance floor Moving closer together Let our hands explore Want me (you know you want me) Take me (go ahead and take me) Use me (come on just use me) Now! Feeling the heat Of your skin My heart skips a beat As I let you in Want me (you know you want me) Take me (go ahead and take me) Use me (come on just use me) Now! Hearts pounding Bodies touching Sweat dripping Lips brushing Want me (you know you want me) Take me (go ahead and take me) Use me (come on just use me) Now!

Crystal Blue 02:42
Sitting on my couch Listening to you play guitar Makes me crave your touch Want you to make me part of your repertoire Crystal blue eyes Captivate and mesmerize Like fuel to a fire Igniting flames of desire It’s more than physical This spark between us It’s cerebral it’s emotional Lust entangled with trust Crystal blue eyes Captivate and mesmerize Like fuel to a fire Igniting flames of desire Funny how easy it is to go From a look to a touch to a kiss to... Crystal blue eyes Captivate and mesmerize Like fuel to a fire Igniting flames of desire

You Kiss Me 04:51
You came along when I didn’t expect it You came along and changed my world You looked at me and drew me in You held me close…within You kiss me with those lips of yours You kiss me You leave me wanting so much more You kiss me You touch me and make me shiver Every nerve is alive you make me quiver You looked at me and now I’m drowning You held me deep inside and now I’m living You kiss me with those lips of yours You kiss me You leave me wanting so much more You kiss me and it’s magic You kiss me Now I’m drowning Now I’m living You kiss me with those lips of yours You kiss me You leave me wanting so much more You kiss me and it’s magic You kiss me

Did the stars align when we met This moment in time Could it be kismet Quiet conversation as the world faded around us Feelings of elation As we start to build our trust Run away with me for a while I promise you I’ll make you smile Run away with me for all time I’ll be yours Will you be mine Runaway with me And I’ll show you love Looks exchanged Hearts become entangled Priorities rearranged Kissing you is more than I can handle I feel so secure In your embrace I’ve never been more sure I’ve found my place Run away with me for a while I promise you I’ll make you smile Run away with me for all time I’ll be yours Will you be mine Runaway with me And I’ll show you love A vision in leather and lace Our fingers entwine Feel our hearts race Someone like you is rare to find Run away with me for a while I promise you I’ll make you smile Run away with me for all time I’ll be yours Please be mine Runaway with me And I’ll show you love

I can tell that we’re drifting apart I can tell that you’re holding back I can tell you’re guarding your heart I can tell we’re so off track Lie to me just this time Take me back to when we were fine Give me this final night Where things still feel right I know you’re in your head I know you’re in self-protection mode Won’t you just talk to me instead Please don’t let me go Lie to me just this time Take me back to when we were fine Give me this final night Where things still feel right Once you were my hurricane baby It was so much simpler then Riding out the storm with me Didn’t even think there’d be an end Lie to me just this time Take me back to when we were fine Give me this final night Where things still are alright I can tell that we’re drifting apart…

Nonchalant 03:43
This is the part I hate It's all very hurry up and wait Everything is so unsure All I want is to be assured Can we skip ahead to where we know That this is what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant There's no need to take it slow Isn't this what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant They say this is the best part I don't think they're all that smart I want to get to where we're sure Where I can feel secure Can we skip ahead to where we know That this is what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant There's no need to take it slow Isn't this what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant Give me the surety of a sunrise Versus all these butterflies Can we skip ahead to where we know That this is what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant There's no need to take it slow Isn't this what we want Do we have to act so nonchalant Let’s skip ahead to where we know This is what we want Let's not take it slow No need to act so nonchalant

First you pull me in Then you push me away Am I just your friend? What should I say? I’m so confused By the way you act What is this to you? Fiction or fact What should I do? It’s all up to you You’ve got me spinning round Barely touching ground Make up your mind You’re wasting time My love is on the line We’re running out of time What is your intent? I’m not quite sure Should I try to circumvent? Just leave you wanting more Could this be a game? And who will win It’s like a runaway train Come on, let me in What should I do? It’s all up to you You’ve got me spinning round Now I’m losing ground Make up your mind You’re just wasting time My love is on the line We’re running out of time
9.
Late at night is when you cross my mind Do you think of the one you left behind Do you ever have any regret Or am I truly that easy to forget Would you come running if I call Would you finally be the one to fall Isn't it funny I can't recall Who loved whom after all Sunrise finds me still awake Tossing and turning no sleep awaits The thoughts of you run circles in my head The absence of you haunts me in my bed Would you come running if I call Would you finally be the one to fall Isn't it funny I can't recall Who loved whom after all Did we fail on a colossal scale Or did we win while losing everything Would you come running if I call Would you finally be the one to fall Isn't it funny I can't recall Who loved whom after all Isn't it funny I can't recall

The letting go is the hardest part Especially when your heart is so stubborn It keeps believing things will change While the brain says impossible I can’t help but wonder who you’re with tonight And what makes him so much better than me Though I try to reconcile my heart and mind Therein lies the origin of sadness So what do I do with all this love for you? That you can’t seem to accept Do I keep it safe and locked inside? With the hope that one day you’ll come to your senses I can’t help but wonder who you’re with tonight And what makes him so much better than me Though I try to reconcile my heart and mind Therein lies the origin of sadness They say time will make everything better But they are fools who really don’t know any better I can’t help but wonder who you’re with tonight And what makes him so much better than me Though I try to reconcile my heart and mind Therein lies the origin of sadness

Not sure I can do this But I’ll follow your lead Not sure I’m strong enough To be what you need We’re not quite friends and definitely not lovers But I still can’t fathom being with another The in-between is never what it seems Want to escape this nightmare and trade it in for a dream Not sure I can do this Here I am with my soul laid bare All dignity gone Begging you to care We’re not quite friends and definitely not lovers But I still can’t fathom being with another The in-between is never what it seems Want to escape this nightmare and trade it in for a dream I don’t know what this is or what it means The space between love and friendship Lost in the in-between We’re not quite friends and definitely not lovers But I still can’t fathom being with another The in-between is never what it seems Want to escape this nightmare and trade it in for a dream
