The Real You

It's cold outside
                        I'm here waiting
                        dreaming of you

                        Where are you now
                        I'm lost and lonely
                        trying to break through

                        This love
                        This life
                        This pain
                        This madness
                        This weakness
                        Confusion

                        This trust
                        This truth
                        This promise
                        Do you believe
                        it's all an illusion
                        of love...

                        Talk to me
                        and let me see
                        the real you
                        behind the wall

                        Lead me home
                        to your heart
                        Together we can start
                        to feel the fall

                        So years have passed
                        I'm still waiting
                        dreaming of you...

                        Of you

Push

I know the words seem simple
                        but they really don't compare
                        to the way I feel about you and
                        how I miss you when you're not there

                        You tell me it's not perfect
                        but you can't tell my heart what's right (no, no)
                        I can't control that part of me
                        that wants to stay and fight

                        (CHORUS)
                        Other worlds collide and stir the confusion within
                        Follow that desire, make it real when it can be and we
                        both can win
                        I can't take it back - don't want to change a thing and
                        the past has already gone...
                        My thoughts come back to you always and forever end up
                        in a song (your song)

                        You don't understand
                        why or how it happened or
                        how long you can take this? (no, no)
                        It's complicated I know,
                        I lie awake and fanatasize about your kiss

                        I see myself in your arms..
                        before and after and more...
                        Even knowing that time catches up and
                        pulls you through that revolving door

                        Other worlds collide and stir the confusion within
                        Follow that desire, make it real when you know you want
                        to give in
                        I can't take it back- don't want to change a thing and
                        the past has already gone...
                        My thoughts come back to you always and forever end up
                        in a song (my song)

                        See...baby...my words may not sell albums
                        or even make you mine (no, no)
                        But you have to know
                        the love I feel for you
                        will outlast those ticking sands of time

                        Keep my truth locked away
                        deep inside of you
                        and hear it once in awhile
                        Just remember from now until then -
                        it was you behind my smile

                        (CHORUS)

                        My thoughts come back to you always...(pause...echo...)
                        and forever end up in this song (our song)

Forgotten (extended version)

CHORUS

                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        [We knew...]
                        Turning back the clock as far as it could go
                        [We tried...]
                        stealing moments along the way
                        [We hoped]
                        desires and fantasies planned and unplanned
                        [We lost]
                        memories began to fade away

                        CHORUS
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        [We thought]
                        keeping it together was the way to survive
                        [We tried]
                        locking the secrets deep within
                        [We left]
                        shattered pieces of honesty and truth
                        [We ran]
                        looking for a new place to begin

                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        Ooooooh

                        (BRIDGE/BUILD UP)

                        We took it all for granted
                        (but it)
                        felt so good and right
                        We left it all to chance and time
                        (oh yeah)
                        turning day into night
                        (but oh)
                        You can't escape the distance
                        (don't try)
                        waves crash and sand falls fast
                        (so fast)
                        please follow me into the future
                        (for now)
                        I know it just won't last...

                        CHORUS
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        Yeah....
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever...

                        and I'll love you in a forgotten time

Missing

[(Intro) Mmmmm...Mmmm...Yeah....Yeah. (X2)]

                        You say you could deal with it-
                        when push comes to shove
                        You think you could convince yourself
                        it's not about love

                        You tell me to think about it
                        before I make my decision
                        But baby you don't realize
                        It's you I'm always missing.

                        Please...

                        (CHORUS)

                        Don't try to act too cool
                        Don't play me like a fool
                        Don't say too much to send me far away
                        Don't you know my heart
                        won't keep us far apart
                        I'll always be missing you this way...

                        I know that I could handle it
                        'cause I really need and want you
                        I know that I could be just fine
                        (as you say)

                        I think about you day and night
                        Don't matter if it's wrong or right
                        But you'll never be all mine....
                        (that way)

                        So please....

                        (CHORUS)

                        Don't try to act too cool
                        Don't play me like a fool
                        Don't say too much to send me far away
                        Don't you know my heart
                        won't keep us far apart
                        I'll always be missing you this way...

                        So...now....

                        We're both handling it well
                        (As far as you can tell)
                        It was here and now
                        you just can't stay

                        You're not confused -- you don't think much
                        You don't even miss my touch
                        losing me -
                        a small price you had to pay

                        And...

                        (CHORUS - REVISED)

                        You tried to act too cool
                        You played you like a fool
                        You said too little and sent me far away
                        You never knew my heart
                        You kept us far apart
                        (you know...)

                        You'll always be missing me this way

Strawberries in June

I stood on the edge
                        tried to fly away
                        but you wouldn't let me go
                        I just had to feel
                        Something inside had to be alive

                        (c)
                        You're like a
                        sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June
                        (that's how you're makin' me feel)
                        You're the wind rushing my body and touching my soul
                        (yeah you make me feel free)
                        And I am always there
                        waiting for you
                        and wanting to be
                        (to be)
                        Your sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June...
                        Oh how you make me complete

                        Then I thought of you
                        and the way you laugh -
                        it fills me up inside
                        Everything you are (to me)
                        Makes me believe
                        I can finally be alive

                        (c)
                        You're like a
                        sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June
                        (that's how you're makin' me feel)
                        You're the wind rushing my body and touching my soul
                        (yeah you make me feel free)
                        And I am always there
                        waiting for you
                        and wanting to be
                        (to be)
                        Your sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June...
                        Oh how you make me complete
                        You're my sweet succulent taste of strawberries in
                        June...
                        Yeah you've made me complete

Haunted (Techno II)

Rapture
                        A feeling
                        Taste
                        Appealing
                        Touch
                        Healing
                        Sight
                        So revealing...

                        I fall so fast
                        beyond the dawn
                        Running so far
                        from where I came
                        Love you now
                        As I did in the past
                        and I will forever remain...

                        Haunted

                        Building
                        My protection
                        Needing
                        Affection
                        Staring
                        Reflection
                        Looking
                        through walls

                        I numb so quickly
                        to the pain
                        Running so far
                        to where I've been
                        Lose you now
                        As I did in the past
                        and will I forever remain...

                        Haunted

I Wanted

Come into my heart
                        Read my mind
                        I promise you
                        You will feel so alive

                        I had to let you know
                        hear the truth
                        of my words
                        and how I wanted it to be...

                        I wanted you to be
                        across the room from me
                        so I could meet your eyes
                        and then we'd smile knowingly
                        Then I would know you cared
                        And wanted to be there
                        Always

                        It's difficult to say
                        this way I feel about you
                        I've heard it all
                        it only makes me want you more
                        You'll never truly know
                        and I can't really show you
                        my desire
                        and how I wanted it to be

                        I wanted you to be
                        across the room from me
                        so I could meet your eyes
                        and then we'd smile knowingly
                        Then I would know you cared
                        and wanted to be there
                        Always

                        You came into my world
                        helped me to turn impossible
                        into possibility
                        And forever in my thoughts
                        lie your passion and my hope
                        for the opportunity

                        I wanted you to be
                        accross the room from me
                        So I could meet your eyes
                        and then we'd smile knowingly
                        Then you would know I cared
                        and wanted to be there
                        Always

                        I wanted you to be
                        across the room from me
                        so I could meet your eyes
                        and become...

                        Reality
