It makes, makes, makes sense why I chose you You’re practically perfect in every way You may have a quirk or two That absolutely drive me insane but I like you So… It’s understandable why I’m falling for ya It’s understandable why My head is over my heels It’s understandable why I can’t look ya in the eye It’s understandable why I’m falling, falling, falling for you ah It makes, makes, makes sense why you Wouldn’t choose me I’m not close to perfect in any way And I have a thousand quirks That absolutely drive me insane but I like you So… It’s understandable why I’m falling for ya It’s understandable why My head is over my heels It’s understandable why I can’t look ya in the eye It’s understandable why I’m falling, falling, falling for you ah

Trying to be completely honest now I struggle with the same things, over and over and over and over Something’s welling up inside Trying hard to convince me of these lies Need to learn to let love in Need to let myself be forgiven Need to learn to just let go of my Stubborn pride It’s hard to let my emotions show Cause I don’t want you to know who I really am I have been, I have been, I have been deceived That no human could possibly love all of me Need to learn to let love in Need to let myself be forgiven Need to learn to just let go of my Stubborn pride Need to learn to let love in Need to let myself be forgiven Need to learn to just let go of my Stubborn pride (Lots of Ohhhh’s)

Where did our courage go? We just want time, time to slow. Where did our fire go? We just got caught up playing in the snow. Cause we've got a ways to go before our hearts turn cold. They say you'd better root your feet in the ground, Cause we all know you reap what you sow. Where did our minds float? It may never reveal, reveal and show. And we've got a ways to go before our hearts turn cold. And we've got a ways to go before our skin grows old. And we've got a ways to go before our hearts turn cold. And we've got a ways to go before our skin grows old. We've got a ways to go We've got a ways to go We've got a ways to go before our hearts turn cold. And on that last day, your standing right beside me. You look into my tired eyes, I know we did everything right.

I don’t want to be rejected I can’t expose all of me I can’t take that risk Even if it means being loved by you I shouldn’t worry, worry I don’t want to be rejected I can’t expose all of me I can’t take that risk Even if it means being loved by you I shouldn’t worry, worry Learn to just let it be I shouldn’t worry Maybe I should man up and tell you How I feel Maybe I should drop this and leave it alone It wouldn’t work out anyway I shouldn’t worry, worry Learn to just let it be I shouldn’t worry Not gonna Not gonna Not gonna worry

You said you loved me but you Said it oh so quietly You said you’d see me but You left me standing at my door You said you’d hold me and Never let me go But your heart’s the only Thing you hold That you will hold That you will hold The way of the fox is what Keeps you alive To live like you would Reveal my disguise I gave you a wife I gave you a story to tell But you heart’s the only Thing you held That you would hold That you will hold We will see you when the morning comes my dear

About You 04:35
lyrics

I sure hope that you soon discover That I have no plans to uncover my feelings for you I’m kind of reserved about such things It wouldn’t do any good to tell you anyway About my feelings for you For you I bend over backwards to stay out of your way But these dumb feelings they just won’t shake There’s just something about you I trip over nothing when you’re in the room I don’t stand a chance and I feel like a fool There’s just something about you About you They’ve been whispering in my ear “You’re not worthy; you’re not worthy dear Just give up, oh just give up Just give up I bend over backwards to stay out of your way But these dumb feelings they just won’t shake There’s just something about you I don’t stand a chance and I feel like a fool I trip over nothing when you’re in the room There’s just something about you About you They’ve been whispering in my ear “You’re not worthy; you’re not worthy dear Just give up, oh just give up Just give up Cause I’ve been fooled that I’m not for you I’ve been fooled that I’m not for you I’ve been fooled that I’m not, I’m not for you

Good Things 05:25
lyrics

Is it just infatuation or is it real love How can you be sure It might feel like your floating up up up in the air But can it really hold you there Set you mind on good things Don’t let your eyes seek the dark Set you mind on good things And reach for the light Something’s been eating at me You’ve been holding to your silver and gold But can it keep you happy Can it keep you happy Set you mind on good things Don’t let your eyes seek the dark Set you mind on good things And reach for the light Please bring me a light So I can get my feet aligned (Set your mind on good things) Set you mind on good things Don’t let your eyes seek the dark Set you mind on good things And reach for the light
