Here come the fireworks Here fall the ashes from the sky Everything’s down from here I know you better than I swore that I knew you way back when So I’ll keep my head this clear But you look me in the eye And I’m dizzy like the day we met You kiss me in the moonlight Swearing that you won’t forget the way I looked that night I need it to be easier to love you ‘Cause I will love you deeper than you’d ever know Though I can read your mind I’ll fall for you sinker, hook, and line I just can’t help myself ‘Cause you look me in the eye And I’m tripping over my feet You kiss me in the dark And I wonder why I’d ever leave without your heart I need it to be easier to love you ‘Cause I will love you deeper than you’d ever know I don’t want to cross our wires I just want to be with you tonight You look me in the eye And I never want to leave your side I need it to be easier to love you ‘Cause I will love you deeper than you’d ever know

Feel It All 03:46
Oh, all I need is this The calm before the kiss, making trails While I inhale the fragrant scent of you Say my name a thousandth time It always sounds sublime from your lips Your fingertips disappear from view Here we go, circling around the bed I want to know everything inside your head Oh, I want to feel it all, I want to feel it all In the cover of the night Our bodies fit just right, you and I This is why the classics all were penned If you stay beneath my sheet We’ll play this on repeat through the dawn Like a song we never want to end Here we go, treasuring each count of thread I want to know every thought inside your head Oh, I want to feel it all, I want to feel it all You love me like no one’s ever loved me You love me like no one’s ever loved Here we go, circling around the bed I want to know everything inside your head Oh, I want to feel it all, I want to feel it all

Here in the dark In your arms, in your bed, I am Shut-eyed and holding tight Biting all the words I haven’t said And I kiss you And you smile in your sleep, baby I see it in silver light But the moon and I have secrets that we keep On the shadow side, on the shadow side Maybe I’m scared To know what you’ll think of these Thoughts that I’ve hidden deep Storing them away until they shrink But they’re in there They’ll boil and they’ll breed until I let you know all of me But, baby, I’m afraid of what you’ll see On my shadow side, on the shadow side I keep hiding everything I know ‘Cause I think all of this pain is sure to push you away Then you say, “Baby, please let go Of the heartache you feel, I want to help you heal” Here in the dark You lay still, and I say that I’m Still holding my feelings tight But there is just so much that I can take And I whisper As tears rinse my skin, and you Hold me throughout the night And soon enough, I have let you in To my shadow side, oh, the shadow side

This is when the love songs fade away When everything we shared becomes a memory When I forget your smile, when you forget my name once in awhile This is where our different paths divide Where you begin to walk away without me by your side But while you’re letting go, I think I’m losing everything I know If this is what you need, I’ll let you walk away If there’s nothing left to say, nothing left for me So just be kind to my heart As we fall apart As we fall apart This is when I’ll miss your touch the most When I’m making love to someone else, and sleeping with your ghost No matter how I try, you’re still the only one I want at night But if this is what you need, I’ll let you walk away If there’s nothing left to say, nothing left for me So just be kind to my heart As we fall apart Yeah, if this is really it, to show you how I care I’ll watch you disappear with my love in your grip I’ll let this end have its start As we fall apart As we fall apart
