'm hanging on a wire And I keep looking at the ground Wondering if I let go How long would it be until I hit the ground I'm dancing in a fire And I keep waiting for the burn Learning how to let go While I'm learning how to hurt In this beautiful life I'm stuck in the crosshairs of wrong and right In this beautiful day I'm learning that this way is the hard way I went wading in the water And I got in over my head I don't know if I should try and swim Or maybe I should just drift away instead And there's no beauty in the struggle Or will it all be worth it in the end Or am I just lost in this confusion that keeps going on Inside my head In this beautiful life I'm stuck in the crosshairs of wrong and right In this beautiful day I'm learning that this way is the hard way Oh, and I keep waiting in paradise How do you know when it's time to try and say good-bye How do you know? How do you know when it's right Or do you just jump in the water And hope it works out this time

There's a man in my bed Resting his pretty little head While he dreams, I sing Sweet Nothings With the clouds rolling by I think "oh, what a wonderful life" If you take, take the time It's easy to recognize So if you're feeling low I know this place we can go And it would be so nice With you beside, beside me So sway, sway with me As we lay between these two trees And we'll drift, drift away To the melodies I play So, if youre feeling low I know this place we can go And it would be so nice With you beside, beside me so if you're feeling low I know this place we can go And it would be so nice With you beside, beside me

On The Floor 03:23
I'm laying on the ground Watching the ceiling fan spin round And all I feel, is written across my face I'm listening to the sound Of clock hands ticking round To the sound of this song "My Fate" I never knew all the things that we could do And you never said anything that was in your head Now here we are a thousand miles apart And I'm on the floor wanting something more Yes, I'm on the floor wanting something more It's the same old sentiment A feeling of lament I hum too little always a bit too late So whats a girl to do When everything's so damned confused And the last thing you want Is to feel any pain I never knew all the things that we could do And you never said anything that was in your head Now here we are a thousand miles apart And I'm on the floor wanting something more Yes, I'm on the floor wanting something more But I'm dropping a line Call me anytime Yeah I'm dropping a line To your heart from mine I never knew all the things that we could do And you never said anything that was in your head Now here we are a thousand miles apart And I'm on the floor wanting something more Yes, I'm on the floor wanting something more

Good Grief 03:32
Death is at my door And oh, He's been through here before He'll shake your hand before you understand That death is forever more They say that he can bring you peace I'm afraid I don't know what you mean When he came along, he went off like a bomb And took a little part of me Good grief, you see, is full of bitter irony And goodness is weak, when your heart is full of grief The preacher spoke some words I'm afraid they couldn't quench the hurt We sang a hymn and said goodbye to him And packed him up in a hearse Good grief, you see, is full of bitter irony And goodness is weak, when your heart is full of grief Tonight we lay him down to sleep In his final resting place he'll be Good grief, you see, is full of bitter irony And goodness is weak, when your heart is full of grief

On the Brink 02:47
I'm standing on the brink of something shallow or something deep I can't make up my mind Which of these two things it'll be And I'm slowly sinking down, I'm desperate for some solid ground Lost in love with out a map I don't know how I'm coming back When you kiss me under palm trees in the moonlight And you hold me close, baby it feels so right It's so beautiful when you let me into your life and its so wonderful in paradise I keep holding out hope somewhere along this crooked road In a little time I might know Which way I think this love will go And I'm sick of holding in my breath Wondering how long this will last I hate the insecurities of all this vulnerability When you kiss me under palm trees in the moonlight And you hold me close, baby it feels so right It's so beautiful when you let me into your life It's so wonderful in paradise When the tides change and you decide That you might feel the same way too I'll be laying here in my hammock I'll be waiting for you When you kiss me under palm trees in the moonlight And you hold me close, baby it feels so right It's so beautiful when you let me into your life It's so wonderful in paradise

Well you, you caught me tonight Off guard and without much of a fight And we've both been given quite a fright Cause love has caught us tonight There was nothing that we could do As soon as I fell into you Just two lonely hearts on a road And two lonely hearts found a home Wine and Champagne as we both fan a flame It comes at a toll when you touch on a soul We're all in the end just some trees taught to bend in the wind That is love and this is love When we kiss our sweetest goodbye You'll see that look in my eyes You'll know all the things I won't say And you'll know I'm thinking the same Wine and Champagne as we both fan a flame It comes at a toll when you touch on a soul We're all in the end just some trees taught to bend in the wind That is love and this is love I could never be the same For this you're to blame Because you opened my mind To a new path of life It's the most frightening thing We've ever known and you see, This is love, This is love Wine and Champagne as we both fan a flame It comes at a toll when you touch on a soul We're all in the end just some trees taught to bend in the wind That is love and this is love

The Fall 03:32
I feel your warmth beside me As you whisper in my ear You say all of the right things You know exactly what I like to hear You're corrupting with your exciting You're exactly what I don't need But I can feel myself start breaking Under the weight of possibility I cant turn back I can't say no I can't move on I can't let go You hurt me with your smile You slay me with your charm You take all of my defenses And leave me with no alarm All I can wonder at how you do it At how you understand me so well When I'm a lost cause I am useless I am a mystery even to myself I can't turn back I can't say no I can't move on I can't let go You defeat me, you defy me And yet you take me as I am You have learned all these things about me And proved to be the stronger man It's time for the last shot It's time for the final call As you stand in my doorway and my heart starts to fall Your standing with your suitcase and I begin to lose it all You turn your back against me And I fall.
