Listen Up

Listen Up
to the things
that they want you to hear

Open your eyes
to the things
that they want you to see

Pour out your Heart
to the people
this world has thrown away

Listen Up
Ohhhhhh...

Listen Up
Ohhhhhh...

Listen Up
to the things
that they want you to hear

Open your eyes
to the things
that they want you to see

Pour out your Heart
this world
is fading away

Listen Up
Ohhhhhh...

Listen Up
Ohhhhhh...

Mr. Lucky

You said
That I was
(that)I was
your only one

But I heard
his name
in conversation
more than once

I noticed
you'd come home
a little
later everyday

(and)How defensive
you'd get
when i asked
about your day

(Chorus)
Well isn't he the Lucky One?
I guess he gets your heart

but darlin im the Lucky One
I get another start

Verse 2
Something
Kept tellin'(me)
Things just
aint right

Because lovers
cant recover
when you
makeup with a fight

and walking
away from
you was not so bad

Cuz i was losing
a gift
(a gift)that I never had..

(Chorus)
well isn't he the Lucky One?
I guess he gets your heart

but darlin im the Lucky One
I get another start..

(BRIDGE)
(start) to
have it all

(to do) The things I
did not do

(i guess)ill
do them without you

(Chorus)
well isn't he the Lucky One?
I guess he gets your heart

but darlin im the Lucky One
I get another start

Thieves and Liars

Woke up this morning
with the news on
they say there was a fire
4 lives are now gone

a poor boy gets desperate
and kills his fellow man
all for just 2 dollars
so hard to understand

How a baby boy gets born
in a hospital one day
only to be taken
by a woman with another name

Life is hard
and the days are long
cant we go back
to where we started from

Cuz Ohhhh Ive grown tired
of this World
and the Thieves and Liars
and Ohhh its hard to see
when there's love in front of me

Preacher man says
that the end is near
not sure if im happy
or if i should fear

change is gonna come
one day i know
but how long will it take
my bones are growing old

I guess ill just be patient
this life is a marathon
and the prize for enduring
salvation is won

Life is hard
but Love is strong
cant we go back
to where we started from

Cuz Ohhhh Ive grown tired
of this World
and the Thieves and Liars
and Ohhh its hard to see
when there's love in front of me

Ohhhh Ive grown tired
of this World
and the Thieves and Liars
and Ohhh its hard to see
when there's love in front of me

Ordinary Me

Everybody says
that you're way too good for me
I totally agree
How could I have been so lucky

Im hoping you dont see
the other side of me
my insecurities
how immature i can be

(cuz)I am Ordinary
and you are Extraordinary
you always swear
thats it's true
That im not
Daydreaming
and you will
never leave me
And i dont
need to ask for proof
that an Ordinary me
can have Extraordinary you

V2.

I cant believe it's true
How im standing next to you
this feeling is so new
I Cant believe you feel the same way too

Girl if you only knew
about my "Cool" disguise you cant see through
Damn Im trying to show you
but you dont even have a clue

(that)I am Ordinary
and you are Extraordinary
you always swear
thats it's true
That im not
Daydreaming
and you will
never leave me
And i dont
need to ask for proof
that an Ordinary me
can have Extraordinary you

Girl it's true
I dont deserve you
(oh) but here you are
you take me as I am
how can you stand
what your friends say
but you keep on tellin me
that you're never goin away

I am Ordinary
and you are Extraordinary
you always swear
thats it's true
That im not
Daydreaming
and you will
never leave me
And i dont
need to ask for proof
that an Ordinary me
can have Extraordinary you

Shooting Star

So hard for me to say
if the rain
will stop today

and though we've mistakes
we survived
the pains of yesterday

Your arms
they keep away
the lonely days

and the thought of you alone
just makes me think...

CHORUS:

You Are...
My Shooting Star..

and my...
Night Sky..
is so bright..
cuz of you...


VERSE 2

Tears cant
wash away
the remains
of the day

the photographs
we'd take
oh how i love
your face (next to mine)

when the darkness
comes to stay
there you are
to take it away

and the thought of you alone
just makes me think...

CHORUS:
You Are...
My Shooting Star..

and my...
Night Sky..
is so bright..
cuz of you... (x2)

"Just Thinking About You""

(Chorus/intro)
Do you ever think about me
Cuz baby Im thinking about you
Do I ever cross your mind
Cuz baby youre crossing mine

(Verse1)

You cant leave me now
After all we've seen
But you've seen everything
you needed to see

Started out so great
Staying up so late
Darling this is fate
(I thought)

Time was standing still
Oh its such a thrill
to be here
sitting with you

(pre-chorus)

But all good things must end
but i wont pretend
that my heart will mend..
(and that i'm not,thinking of you..of you)

(Chorus)

(so) Do you ever think about me
Cuz baby Im thinking about you
Do I ever cross your mind
Cuz baby youre crossing mine

(Verse 2.)

Were sitting here enjoying
singing "Sunday Morning"
Cuz yer
"All I Need"

But then you said goodbye
with no reason why
Darlin i will try (to be)
Better for you

Try to visit you at work
Cuz honey im feeling hurt
but you see me as a jerk
good intentions is all i had

(pre-chorus)
But all good things must end
but i wont pretend
that my heart will mend..
(and that im not,thinking of you..of you)

(Chorus)
(so) Do you ever think about me
Cuz baby Im thinking about you
Do I ever cross your mind
Cuz baby youre crossing mine

(so) Do you ever think about me
Cuz baby Im thinking about you
Do I ever cross your mind
Cuz baby youre crossing mine
