Life: Here & Now II

from the first time I saw you there across the room I knew there wasn't much my heart could do to stop the things I've felt and have tried to put into song From that first time you turned me on You turned me on to the power of sweetness you turned me on to the strength of a smile you turned me on to giving completely and I turned you on to loving me

when we get alone and you turn off the phone and the slow dancing music starts to play there's a feeling in here that I have to make clear but I'm finding it so hard to say i'd try to tell you but you giggle try to show you but you'll squiggle try to hold you but you'll get away And when I reach out to catch ya you start that there stretchin turn around and go the other way girl you'd better be believing if you're coming or your leaving either way it's just a matter of time cos when I hear the bangles janglin and the guitars start to twangin I know I'm gonna make you mine This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

when I go to bed after a long day I try to clear my head and there's so much to say but you're always here to listen if I wake up in the middle of the night feeling rough turning on the light wash the cares away with a song you've given and as the sun breaks through that slit in the curtain i can count on you your love is certain and what i go through is helping me learn you're the joy that comes in the morning after a restless night you're the feeling of being reborn after I've given up trying you're the reason I can keep holding on to the hope that keeps dying you're the joy that comes in my mornings This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

radio plays another song about heartache, and I sing along though the words don't really match my life, I admit I feel like that see that couple holding hands as they listen to a Texas band? I remember days just like this but all I have is an empty fist and I'm bluer than those endless skies that clothe the mountain ranges thinking of all those days with you those memories could fill pages and if the spinning of the globe brings you around back to me baby, i want you to know that's more than just alright with me I took your picture off the wall had to turn off your screensaver kept your ringtone, but you won't call so I'm doin myself no favors and every time I walk by that store where you liked to shop i try to walk on the other side but still I have to make the stop and I'm bluer than those endless skies that clothe the mountain ranges thinking of all those days with you those memories could fill pages and if the spinning of the globe brings you around back to ...

the evil that we do begins when once we set aside, affection for our dearest friends, our hearts reigned by pride pursuing my own ends grabbing for my own prize the boundaries of love I bend with the foolishness of lies grave danger waits hidden there among the desert rocks where I reckless run without a care for refusals, nays, and locks forward stumbling into a fall plummet into the deep dry well and ignoring wisdom's call open the gates of hell This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

you're taking me closer to what you have for me you're drawing me nearer to where I should be nothing could be clearer than the grace you've given me take me on, take me up, take me there you've got me thinking about where i've been I had been sinking till you drew me in and now I'm drinking all of your love in take me on take me up take me there take me there -- to another level take me there -- it feels like heaven let me share in this unfolding story of your love that's changing me from death to life's glory I should have known it you would seek me out i've not outgrown it i'm child enough to shout about your atonement that shatters all my doubts take me there take me there -- to another level take me there -- it's starting to feel like heaven let me share in this unfolding story of your love that's changing me from death to life's glory This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3....

Her friend came up to me, Do you like Cheri? She likes you, You should like her too What's a boy supposed to do? We were just thirteen, Do you know what I mean? How could love even start? I shut the locker door, Shook my head, said no more Ant that's when I broke her heart It seems I leave behind broken hearts Over and over again, one at a time I'm always guilty of the crime But the heart that breaks again is mine Saw her there at school and in youth group fast Mustang looked good in that thing Top down, blonde hair blowing Down by the creek moonlight kisses so sweet Was this where love would start? I shut the car door, Hung my head, said no more Ant that's when I broke her heart It seems I leave behind broken hearts Over and over again, one at a time I'm always guilty of the crime But the heart that breaks again is mine Got on the airplane, Out of town again. What goes on, Every time that I'm gone? Seems I'm gone way too long But even when I'm there The...

it's hard to respect a man who needs you more than you need him and I know you're so much stronger than me but loving you isn't me being weak I think I've found the wound that had me running from you and now I'm facing all those fears that kept me from letting you near I can do now what I couldn't do then Is it too late to start over again? I've trying to work this all through and maybe I'm strong enough now... to be the man for you since the day you said goodbye I've tried to figure out just why and where things took a wrong turn after all these years, what have I learned? rocket science, I can get that but figurin out how to get you back hurts my heart, taxes my brain you did it before, but could you explain? I know now what I didn't know then Is it too late to start over again? I've been working on my love IQ and maybe I'm smart enough now... to be the man for you (bridge)you said you wanted more than stong arms, you needed a strong he...

Daddy always said I'd get what was coming to me some day Grandpa said grass seeds had a way of making hay And I've dodged more bullets than that Matrix guy Neo And soon I'm gonna have to pay

from the very start, i felt the pull -- something in your words sounded so good shot through me like lightning knocked me off my feet seemed like the right thing made the unfinished complete why would i leave you? why would i resist the irresistible   words that are sweeter than honey or wine a light in your eyes, nothing short of divine definitely classy even in a mess and when you ask me i get things off my chest why would I even try? try to resist...the irresistible It's in your eyes when you sit across the table When i hold your hand, you try but you're not able I saw you stretch to try to get comfortable why would you resist -- the irresistible? i'm gonna tell the truth, ain't gonna lie gonna turn on the fan, let the chips fly it's hard, but not as hard as it can get gonna live rightly seek His ultimate yes why would I even try? try to resist... the irresistible?
