Avion

Follow you in the shadow of your stride
I'd wait an hour just to see you smile
Should I chane all the pain
To reveal all I've contained?
Would you feel the way I do?

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
But if I was on fire
Would you notice?
And would you feel desire
If I showed it?
Would you notice?

I could wait for perfect words or circumstances
I listened in just to hear your name
All your loveliness that shines
Is the same as what's inside
Would you feel the same way too?

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Someday soon
When it's me and you
I won't be the stranger
In your life

<i>[Chorus]</i>

But if I was on fire
If I was on fire
If I burn with desire would you notice?

Fireworks over disneyland
Airplane will you hold my hand?
Without you all the colors bland
And I can't fake it

Long drives up to pch
Sade sitting by the lake
Sunsets and the milkyway
So we can dream

Beautiful is not beautiful without you
Beautiful is not beautiful without you

Telluride and an afternoon hike
Big bear by the firelight
Thanksgiving and a movie night
When we can't sleep

84 to multinomah
Falls success I want to share it all
Vermont and the smell of fall
And life is grand

Beautiful is not beautiful without you
Beautiful is not beautiful without you

Sittin' here
Counting the hours
Waitin' for the sun to kiss the sea
Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers
You remind me of
You and me

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But there's five or six ways through
Seven days without you
Seven days without you

Makin' plans
Just to stop the aching
Chasin' thoughts from a million miles away
In the tides there's another dawn breaking
I rehearse the words
I want to sing

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But when five and six are through
It's seven days without you, yeah
Seven days without you, yeah

I will find a way until you're home
Let the giant sleep this time we know

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But when five and six are through
Seven days without you
Seven days without you
Seven days without you

Will I be good enough tomorrow?
Would I be good enough today?
I gave back all the things I borrowed
But I couldn't clean up all my stains

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you

Bite my lip when I am bitter
As I wave goodbye to all my dreams
I'm hoping you will make me better
Stitching the tear within my seams

<i>[Chorus]</i>

And it feels o.k.
When you mold this clay
And I know I'm made by you, yeah, by you

Where's the virtue in the waiting
When you slay me with your word
As all the light ablove is fading
In darkest silence you are heard

<i>[Chorus]</i>

The darkest days have come and gone
Still you shine for me
With a fragile frame I carry on
'Cause with you I am free
You guard my teflon heart
'Cause then they take you apart

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Deconstructing the pieces
Still lobbing the darts
While you're clogging the bleeding
And now you're starting to sway
And they won't go away
Until you swear you're perfecting the art
Of being perfect from now on
Perfect from now on

I learn the stance to win the fight
To balance what I do
I cling to you with all my might
You take the punches too
The round's about to start
And then they take you apart

<i>[Chorus (x2)]</i>

Two year, eight months and four days since I've known love
For what it's worth
I'm finding it hard to believe that I'll find love
Upon this earth

Destiny calls on a life
As colors dim and fade
So simple and small

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
You're the flower that's yet to break the ground
Will I find you?
You're the song I've never written down
But I want to
Where are you now?

Restoring the pieces I gave to the hollow
Yielding no return
I'm beckoning back to the hope
That I followed a matter to be learned
Intimate woe is the friend
The empty evening brings
I let you go to dream again

<i>[Chorus]</i>

With a soldier's stance
I wait for patient time
To come and bring you home
I'll save this dance for life until you complete me

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Flat on my back
Soak up the sun
Counting from zero up to one
And I like it, I like it

Can't understand a word he said
I'm humming along radiohead
But I like it, I like it

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
I'm floating away
On wings that I borrowed
I'm leaving today
Come back tomorrow
When I'm starting over

Cleaning the slate
And morning tea
High in the clouds above the seas
Is where I'll find it, I'll find it

Calling the race is much too soon
It's not int the start but follow through
And I'll find it, I'll find it

<i>[Chorus]</i>

If seeing is believeing I would never make it alone
There's something I'm receiving faith so I can walk the unknown

<i>[Chorus (x2)]</i>

When the music stats to fade
And I'm left without a friend who knows me
Here as the season brings a change
All the clouds and questions drift and disappear

It's so delightful
Watching the nightfall
After the dark and new day

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Bulletproof glow shine again
For the city on angels
Ride it in on a helicopter stunt for free
Bulletproof glow shine on for the city of angels
Illuminate the sky and the heart of me

What's the purpose in the plan
With contempt they cut you down to make their case
Re-election close at hand
Running with the pleasure of Eric Liddell's face

What does it call gain as earth and the worm claim
Back to the place you belong

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Bulletproof glow shine on for the city of angels
Illuminate the sky and the heart of me

They will not win
They will not win
They'll never break me
They will not win
They will not win

<i>[Chorus (x2)]</i>

Calling out
Calling me
Burning doubt
That you'll see
I needed you

I've learned how to be alone
But I don't want to be lonely

Every time I fall in love
It falls back on mev Every time I rise above
I'm pulled under seas

Holding on
Holding sleep
Greeting dawn
Counting sheep
To make it through

Growing up, growing old
Learning how to be teachable

Every time I fall in love
It falls back on me
Every time I rise above
I'm pulled under seas

I believe I've been wrong
On my knees I am strong enough to say that

Bill of goods or just a fake tattoo
I bought everything to be like you

Emptied out and try to fill the hole
Weigh the value with and empty soul
Now I can see where-

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
The boundaries have no end
Trinidad and a DC-10

Bigger promise
A forgetful boy
Catch the theif of all the stolen joy

When the darkness breathes its final breath
Then the morning comes to rescue us
So we can be-

<i>[Chorus]</i>

And I finally find significance
Giving up
I'm given all you are

I'm on a breakthrough
I won't desert you
I'm on a breakthrough-

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Gonna fly with all my friends
Trinidad and a DC-10

Where the boundaries have no end
Trinidad and a DC-10

You asked me for my heart
But you didn't have you own
I'm back to where I start
An empty page alone

And I don't want to be the first to call
To show that I still care
'Cause every time we speak
I fall apart
You know you've got me there

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
But time will make it all feel better
Like salve upon a wound
You soon won't see
Time will erase the scars I've weathered
But as for now it only hurts
When I breathe
When I breathe

The pictures once on top
Are deeper in the drawer
Like promises we swapped
Were swept up off the floor

And I don't want to be the one you love
'Cause no one else is there
I was never good as runner-up
In races that aren't fair

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Tarnished as this coin I found
Now how am I going to make it through
In the economy of pain
A flowing currency of grace anew

<i>[Chorus]</i>

The birds have flown
Still on the phone recounting
How the years have passed
Like winds the bring a change

You're moving on
I know you're strong enough
To learn the steps
To dance an unexpected waltz

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Love is here again
Like a long lost friend
Walking up the path unto your door
Love is here again
To come and make amends
Awakening your soul

I heard you say
This brand new day
You're grateful for the second chance
As heaven smiles on you

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Like the joining of two candles in the dark
It feels like striking gold again
Together shining brighter than when they're apart

<i>[Chorus (x2)]</i>

Ten percent what happens
And ninety how I react
They say don't sweat the small stuff
I guess I must have missed that class

I've never seen a hearse
Pulling a u-haul

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
God it's good to be alive
Between the earth, the sea and sky
Revolving like a record around the sun
Roll the windows down and see
If a lyric comes to me
From a major key to minor after dark
It's all been said and done
But the best is yet to come

Why the lovlies on the outside
Often aren't the same within
They see me swarving as I broadside
Now my single serving friends aren't here

I've never seen a hearse
Pulling a u-haul

<i>[Chorus]</i>

I sent away for
An anti-jaded lotion
Now I'd surely pay for innocence if there a pill

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Sittin' here
Counting the hours
Waitin' for the sun to kiss the sea
Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers
You remind me of
You and me

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But there's five or six ways through
Seven days without you
Seven days without you

Makin' plans
Just to stop the aching
Chasin' thoughts from a million miles away
In the tides there's another dawn breaking
I rehearse the words
I want to sing

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But when five and six are through
It's seven days without you, yeah
Seven days without you, yeah

I will find a way until you're home
Let the giant sleep this time we know

There's one love in a lifetime
There are two hearts of a kind
There's three reasons you'll be mine
But when five and six are through
Seven days without you
Seven days without you
Seven days without you
