Full Circle
04:24

I found myself creeping to the edge,
looking for something new.
I wanted something I had not seen.
I wanted more.
I thought I had seen enough,
day in - day out of the same old thing.
So I went looking around,
but I didn't know what for.
Why did I think there could be any more
to this life than this?
And how could what I already have
not be good enough?
CHORUS: I've come back around
to where I started from.
I know... it's been a long-time comin'.
There's nothing new
It's just the same old song.
It's all coming back to me now.
Here we go again:
looking for something to satisfy.
Going to the same old places
we've been to time after time.
There's no need to look around,
when all we need is right here.
There's nothing else
worth looking for.
Why did I think there could be any more
to this life than this?
And how could what I already have
not be good enough?
CHORUS
I've come full-circle.
My life has come full-circle.

More Than Me
04:28
|

|
Are you searching?
If so, do you know
what you're searching for?
It might be you've reached the end
of what you can do on your own.
Can I be the one to help you? Let me help you.
I am the one you can turn to, 'cause I love you.
CHORUS: Nobody loves you more than me
Nobody else can help you see
No one else can show you where
you need to be,
'cause no one loves you more than me.
I can show you
everything you need to see
Will you let me be the one?
I can give you
everything your heart desires
Can I be the one to give it to you? Let me give it to you.
I am the one you can turn to, 'cause I love you.
CHORUS
I love you more than
anything else in this world
Nothing compares to you
You can look around
search around, you'll never find
anyone else who loves you
more than I do
CHORUS

You had enough and went away
now you find you've been chasing the wind
You followed things you thought were real
Now these things have come to an end
I wanted you to stay
but you wouldn't listen to me
You wanted to go your own way
But that way didn't set you free
It only bound you tighter than you were before
Now I wait for you to knock on my door
You know you always have a place here
I'm just waiting for you to come...
CHORUS: Home where you belong
With me, like you never were gone.
I don't care what you've done
What matters most is that you come
back home, safe and sound
Set free, no longer bound.
Your joy won't be found,
until you turn around.
Please won't you come back home.
My door is always open,
and you always have a place with me.
I've been waiting for you to come back,
because this is where you're meant to be.
When you walk through that door, we'll celebrate,
because you've come back to be with me.
You know you've always had a place here.
I'm glad you've made the choice to come...
CHORUS 2: Back home where you belong
You're with me, like you never were gone.
I don't care what you've done
What matters most is that you've come
back home, safe and sound
You're set free, no longer bound.
I'm glad you're back around
The lost now is found.
Please won't you come back home.
Bridge: There's no where else
no other place like this
this place where you belong
There's nothing else
you could ever need
now that you're here with me
CHORUS

This Moment
03:46
|
|||
|
I know that I don't spend enough time
doing what I need to do for you.
And I know I waste time on silly things
instead of spending it with you.
CHORUS: But right now, in this moment
you are here with me.
I want to make sure this moment lasts.
So while I have this moment
I'm gonna tell you that I love you.
I want to make the most
of what we have right now.
I know there's nothing we can do
to change what we've done in the past.
And I know where we end up in the future
all depends on what we're doing today.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: We may not have this chance again.
This time may be all we have.
So while we're here together,
Let's make it worth our time.

I find myself living
in days of confusion
In an age when nobody understands
I can't help but wonder
What it is that I need to do
What I need in my life
to make me a better man
CHORUS: I need direction
I need somebody to show me the way
I need solutions
to the problems in my life
I need some answers,
the kind that can only come from you
Only you can save me
Please help me
I'm so tired of being confused
I find myself walking
through a minefield
but it's a place of my own design
Every step I take
brings me closer to danger
I can't go through this alone
please give me a sign
CHORUS
BRIDGE: These days, it's hard to tell
an enemy from a friend
It's hard to put my trust in anyone
But I know that I trust you
To stay with me to the end
You are by my side
until everything is done
One of these days, I'm gonna go
and wander away too far
and end up way past where I need to be
That's when I'll need someone
Someone who can pull me back
That's when you'll hear me
Calling out to you
I can't go through this alone
I've gotta have you
Please help me
I'm so tired of being confused.

Out of Place
06:26
|
|||
|
In a matter of speaking, I find myself
at a loss for words for how I feel.
So now I'm reaching within myself
to try to distinguish what is real.
What is this place I've been drawn to?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
Please help me find within this world
the place where I belong.
CHORUS 1: What can I do to make things right?
Is there part of me that I need to replace?
I'm trying my best to keep you in sight,
but it takes all I have to see your face.
Your perception, when you look at me
may on the surface show something clean.
But a deception is what you see.
These things are seldom what they seem.
Why can't I show you who I am?
Why can't I let you see where I stand?
Please help me find within this world
the place where I belong.
CHORUS 2: All by myself, I won't win this fight.
It can only lead me to disgrace.
I don't want to be alone in the light.
I don't like to feel so out of place.
BRIDGE: It's all so hard
and I'm so tired
Don't know if I can break away
I can't make it on my own
Please, can you help me break these chains?
I need relief from these silent pains.
Please help me find within this world
the place where I belong.

Ready

You can do what you want and say anything.
You can think what you want about me,
but I still won't move.
and you won't get me to change my mind.
You can laugh all you want about my belief
in what I cannot see,
but I still won't move.
No, you can't get me to change my mind.
CHORUS: No, I can't tell the future.
I don't know what's around the next corner.
But I know for sure that
whatever it is that lies ahead,
I'm gonna be ready.
You tell me I should live my life just for today,
because we only live once.
But I disagree,
and I'm not gonna change my ways.
You can call me crazy for playing it safe,
and for trying to do what's right.
But I know what I need to do,
and I'm not gonna change my ways.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I'm gonna be ready
no matter what you say.
I'm gonna be ready,
come what may.

Room for You
05:06
|
|||
|
There have been times when I've fallen
There have been times when I didn't believe
Even though I didn't give much to you,
you have never given up on me.
You were there when the walls came crumbling down
You came running when I called to you
You are there when things are going right,
giving me your love.
So now it's my turn to give you all I have to give,
because you deserve so much more.
CHORUS 1: So with everything that's going on,
and with everything I've got to do,
don't worry about your place in my life,
because I'll always have room for you.
There's room for you.
You are the one I love the most
I don't have room for anybody else
You don't always hear just how I feel,
Because sometimes I forget to tell.
You're the one who means more to me
than anything else in this world.
I won't let anything get in the way
of giving you my love.
It's so easy for me to be busy with the things I do,
but they mean nothing without you.
CHORUS 2: So no matter what I have to face,
you'll always be here with me.
Nobody else could take your place,
because no matter what, there'll always be
room for you.
So now it's my turn to give you all I have to give,
because you deserve so much more.

Cross the Line
03:52
|
|||
|
Do you remember when we first met?
Remember how it felt just right?
Then I was the one who walked away.
You needed me, but I was nowhere in sight.
But now I'm back, ready to make things new
All I have, I want to give to you.
CHORUS: I want to be the one
to cross the line
I'm gonna step out on faith
and do what it takes
to make you mine.
I am willing to be the one
to cross the line (to embrace you).
I don't care what people say
I want to give my love to you.
Do you remember what you said?
You said next time I come around, you'd be there.
I stayed away too long, but now I'm here
I'm ready to take a chance,
to go with you anywhere.
You promised me that we can make things new
I'm gonna take your love and give it back to you.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I want to go back
to what we had before.
Take me back to where we were.

Living for You
03:52

|
I'm living for you.
I'm living for everything you are.
I'm giving you everything
I have to give.
I'm looking to you
for everything I need.
You are the only one
worth living for.
I know that without you
I'd be nothing at all.
I know there's nobody else
who could hear me when I call.
I'm living for you
and everything's going fine.
I'm better than ever before.
My life is good.
I've got no worries,
because you've taken them away.
You are the only one
worth living for.
I know that I can't
depend on just my own mind.
You are the greatest joy
that I could ever find.
I'm living for you.
I'm living for everything you are.
I'm giving you everything
I have to give.
I'm looking to you
for everything I need.
You are the only one
worth living for.

Oh, this pain inside my head
(Sometimes I feel) like I'd be better off dead
(Does that surprise you?)
There's a lot you don't know about me
There's a lot in my life that you don't see
You'd be shocked to know what I struggle with
You'd be shocked to hear what's tearing me apart
(I know) you have secrets like me
(I know you have lies) you want me to believe
(It doesn't surprise me)
There's a lot you keep bottled up inside
There's a lot that you try your best to hide
You'd be shocked at how much we have in common
You'd be shocked to find out how you and I are alike
I know what you're going through
Because I know I've been there myself
I've felt the pain you're feeling
I know exactly who you are
CHORUS: Everybody's got something to hide
We all have a story to tell
You and I need to let it all out
Bring it out in the open
Mirror, mirror on the wall
(What do you see?) Why am I scared of
the image looking back at me?
They're tearing me up inside
All these secrets that I try to hide
I know you relate to what I'm telling you
I know that you have secrets, too.
You know what I'm going through
Because you know you've been there yourself
You've felt the pain I'm feeling
You know exactly who I am
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I open myself like a book
and show you what's inside
the struggle within me
is living and real
I know what you're going through
Because I know I've been there myself
You've felt the pain I'm feeling
You know exactly who I am

Only You Know
04:44
|

|
I've been waiting for oh so long
for you to decide.
You have to make a choice,
there's nothing in between.
I've been waiting patiently
for a sign from you.
Please show me where
you want to be.
I know you'd rather I decide,
but it's not up to me.
CHORUS: Only you know
how all of this will end.
You're the only one
who has control.
Every day you spend your time
walking aimlessly.
You have no direction and no clue.
Meanwhile, I want to help you,
if you'll just turn to me.
Just show me where
you want to be.
I know you'd rather I decide,
but it's not up to me.
CHORUS 2: Only you know
how all of this will end.
You're the only one
who has control.
Only you can tell me
where your destination is.
You're the only one
who knows.
