The Spirit Room
Everywhere
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
You Get Me
So I'm a little left of centre
I'm a little out of tune
Some say I'm paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don't care what they're sayin'
As long as I'm your girl
Hey, you are on my side
And they, they
Just roll their eyes
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and
Take the chance, baby
You get me
You look inside
My wild mind
Never knowing
What you'll find
And still you want me
All the time
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you get me
So what if I see the sunshine
In the pouring rain
Some people think I'm crazy
But you say it's okay
You've seen my secret garden
Where all of my flowers grow
In my imagination
Anything goes
I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and
Hold my hand, baby
You get me
You look inside
My wild mind
Never knowing
What you'll find
Still you want me
All the time
Yeah, you do
'Cause you get me
Hey, you are on my side
They, they
Just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and
Take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of
The pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside
My wild mind
Never knowing
What you'll find
And still I want you
All the time
Yeah, I do
'Cause you get me
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh
All You Wanted
I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
I didn't know that
It was so cold
And you needed someone
To show you the way
So I took your hand
And we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have
To keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go
When you're gone
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
All you wanted was
Somebody who cares
If you need me
You know I'll be there
Oh, yeah
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go
When you're gone
You Set Me Free
Can't you see?
There's a feeling
That's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one
That leaves me
Completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this
You can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly,
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words
Just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time
There's just
No hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
'Cause I wanted to fly
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free
When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free

Something To Sleep To
She's his yellow brick road
Leading him on
And letting him go as far
as she lets him go
Going down to nowhere
She puts on her make-up
The same way she did yesterday
Hoping everything's the same
But everything has changed
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes
I'll still be by your side
How could I ever
Have been so blind?
You give me something
To sleep to at night
He wakes up to the sound
So scared that she's leaving
He wishes she were still
asleep next to him
Hoping she will change
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes
I'll still be by your side
How could I ever
Have been so blind?
You give me something
To sleep to at night
You give me
Something to sleep to
And all I know is
You give me
Something to dream to
When I'm all alone and blue
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes
I'll still be by your side
How could I ever
Have been so blind?
You give me something
To sleep to
Something to sleep to
Something to sleep to
At night
Here With Me
It's been a long, long time
Since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind
Now my reflection's
Getting clearer
Now that you're gone
Things will never be
The same again
There's not a minute
That goes by
Every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away
Well, I'm not the same girl
you used to know
I wish I said the words
I never showed
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that
I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
You know that silence is loud
When all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly
Just to be a part of
Something strong and true
But I was scared and
Left it all behind
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that
I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you
To come back to me
Please?
I never will forget
That look upon your face
How you turned away
And left without a trace
But I understand that
You did what
You had to do
And I thank you
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that
I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
Sweet Misery
I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to
Stand on solid ground
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar
We strummed along, oh
Sweet misery
You cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery
You cause me
I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything
Everything and me
I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me
A little while
Sweet misery
You cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery
You cause me
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
Oh, whoa
Sweet misery
You cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery
You cause me
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar
We strummed along
If Only She Knew
I don't know
Whose side I'm takin'
But I'm not takin'
Things too well
I can see inside
You're achin'
But is it still too early
For me to tell?
I try to help you out
Through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat
And I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
'Cause I still love you
Like I did before
I know for sure
That you still feel
The same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa, if only she knew
Oh
I try to let it go
But I don't know
If I can take it
'Cause the way
You looked at me
Made me see that
I can't really fake it
I try to help you out
Through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat
And I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
'Cause I still love you
Like I did before
I know for sure
That you still feel
The same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa
I know she loves you
And I can't interfere
So I'll just have to sit back
And watch my world disappear
Whoa
I try to help you out
Through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat
And I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
Oh, I'm still not over you
'Cause I still love you
Like I did before
I know for sure
That you still feel
The same way I do
Whoa
'Cause I will never
Ever walk away
I'll find a way
She could never love you
Like I do
If only she knew
If only she knew
Oh yeah
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na I'd Rather Be in Love
I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it
If I tried
The same old heartbeat
Fills the emptiness
I have inside
And I've heard
That you can't fight love
So I won't complain
'Cause why would
I stop the fire
That keeps me going on?
'Cause when there's you
I feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be
In love with you
Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up
Everything only for you
It's the least that I could do
'Cause when there's you
I feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be
In love with you
And I feel you holding me
Why are we afraid
To be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough
To be loved
And I feel you holding me
Oh, oh
And when there's you
I feel whole
And there's no better
Feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh, I'd rather be
In love with you
And I feel you holding me
Oh
Goodbye To You
Of all the things
I've believed in
I just want to
Get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days
That pass me by
I've been searching
Deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing
Are starting to get old
It feels like
I'm starting all over again
The last three years
Were just pretend
And I said
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to"
I used to get lost in your eyes
And it seems that
I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and
You chase my thoughts away
To a place where
I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything
And nothing at the same time
I want what's yours
And I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
Drop in the Ocean
Love took me by the hand
Love took me by surprise
Love led me to you
And love opened up my eyes
And I was drifting away
Like a drop in the ocean
And now I realise that
Nothing has been as beautiful
As when I saw heaven's skies
In your eyes
In your eyes
And every time I drift away
I lose myself in you
And now I see I can be me
In everything I do
'Cause I was feeling as small
As a drop in the ocean
And now I realise that
Nothing has been as beautiful
As when I saw heaven's skies
In your eyes
In your eyes
Love took me by the hand
Love took me by surprise
And I was drifting away
like a drop in the ocean
And now I've realised that
Nothing has been as beautiful
As when I saw heaven's skies
In your eyes
In your eyes
Second Chances
Sometimes we get second chances
And sometimes we never make it past the first
It really makes you wonder why somethings happen when they do
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you
And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight
Sometimes we never see the warning
And the voice in your head tells you not to go
It really makes me wonder why somethings happen when they do
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you
And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight
And when you look its gone its too late to turn around
And it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've done
And when you say
It doesn't matter well it does
And all it takes
Is a mistake to eat your words
Just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight

Dada duda duda duda duda
Du dada duda dada
Dada duda duda duda duda
Du dada duda dada
Called your name today
But no one answers any more
You turned and ran away
Like someone came
And locked the door
Paper pieces
Lyin' on the floor
I fall to pieces now
The coffee's black
And my heart is sore
Pick me up
Tape me together
Dadadadada
Like paper pieces on the floor
Dada duda duda duda duda
Du dada duda dada
Dada duda duda duda duda
Du dada duda dada
Since you left that day
I've realised my mind's
Made up on you
My heart is capsized and
I don't know
What I'm gonna do
Pick me up
Tape me together
Dadadadada
Like paper pieces on the floor
Pick me up
Tape me together
Dadadadada
Like paper pieces on the floor
Paper pieces on the floor
And I call out to you
Oh, but you turn
Yes you turn away
Dada duda duda duda duda

Called you name today

Stewart's Coat
Hold me love
I can't sleep again
Will I have to
Kiss your nose
I wanna lay here
Next to him love
I remember
Walking in the rain
Rain was falling
On my hands
I don't wanna live
Through that again no
I know it takes love
Love is a healing thing
When you give everything
You're loving the world
The world gives you love
To hold onto remembering
We seldom remember love
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through it all
Just give me time
To learn to crawl
In September
When the rain comes
And the wind blows
I will see you walking
In the coat of
If you let me
I will keep you here
Inside the stars
I will love the salt
On my sheets
Oh you'll love me
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through it all
Just give me time
To learn to crawl
Time to learn to crawl
Time to learn to crawl
Time to learn to crawl
I'll Always Be Right There
When you're all alone
And you need a light
Someone to guide you
Through the night
Just remember that
I am here
To hold you close and
Dry your tears
Oh, ooh
And just when you thought
You were falling
But you know I'll always
Be right there
When you're all alone
And you need a friend
Someone to help you
To the end
When you need someone
To catch you when you fall
I'll be there through it all
Oh, oh
'Cause just when you thought
You were losing
But you know
I'll always be right there
And I'll be there
Through the good times
And the bad
And we'll be there
For each other
'Cause you're the best friend
I've ever had
And just when you thought
You were falling
But you know
I'll always be right there
Oh, ooh whenever you need me
I'll always be right there

Leap of Faith
One less call to answer
Feeling full of despair
Don't think I can get through it
Just one last prayer
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe
There's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that
Someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
Searching for the answer
Nobody seems to care
Oh how I wish that
You were here
Beside me
To wipe away my tears
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe
There's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe
That someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
Waiting for the answer
Remembering times
We would share
Somehow I feel
You here beside me
Even though you're not there
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's
Someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that
Someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
And I'll be waiting
By the window for
Your smile to come through
And I'll be waiting
In the darkness when
I call out to you
And I'll remember
When you told me
I could trust in you
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe
There's someone out there
It's a leap of faith
When you believe
That someone cares, oh
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
It's a leap of faith
And I believe that
You are out there
It's a leap of faith and
I believe you truly care, oh
And when I call out to you
I know you'll be right there
Right there
And it's a leap of faith
Washing Machine
Your eyes they look so bright
A funky flair in my appetite
But there's no room for you
My feet are on the ground
And my head is in the clouds
But you still can't break through
Whatcha gonna do
I'm not just gonna
Stand around
Waiting for my lips to be read
Falling through the
Cracks in the ground
My feelings need to be said
Flowing like water
In a crimson melody
The orange plastic sun
Is shining
And the truth so hard to see
The rain of your existence
If falling down on me
And the soap suds
Spread like a disease
From my washing machine
I'm not just gonna
Stand around
Waiting for my lips
To be read
Falling through the
Cracks in the ground
My feelings need to be said
I'm not just gonna
Stand around
Waiting for you
Falling through the
Cracks in the ground
And I'm hoping that
You'll make
Your next move
That you'll make
Your next move
I'm not just gonna
Stand around
Waiting for my lips
To be read
Falling through the
Cracks in the ground
My feelings need to be said
