1. CHASING YOU
I see myself running
Around your wandering eyes, again
I wonder if you see me
With someone else I could never be
And I'm trying to find the moment I can ask you how you feel
And I'm trying to make this dream I had with you a little more real
Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
You're more than I compare
You're everywhere
You're everywhere
I don't think you were with me
Holding me in your arms again
I lost myself in your presence
I lost myself in your everything
And I'm fighting past the fear of you pretending not to care
And I'm trying not to understand the need to have you here
Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
You're more than I compare
You're everywhere
You're everywhere
There's nothing more that I can do
And Nothing I can say
I can't change my mind
And this feeling won't go away
Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
Be here, be now, be every how
Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
You're ruling me, consuming me
You're everything to me
You're everywhere
You're everywhere
You're everywhere

2. THE BOY WHO MURDERED LOVE
You’re The Boy Who Murdered Love
Cold hands and a heart of stone
You’re a Midas in reverse
You’re the king of pain and hurt
And the stars turn into fire
And the roses change from red to black
You encourage my desire
Then you put the arrow in my back
Shot shot shot shot shot like a bullet
Stop stop stop stop stop oh you love it
No no no no no now you’ve done it
You’re The Boy Who Murdered Love
Love love love love
You’re The Boy Who Murdered Love
You’re the thief of innocence
You’re a tainted cherry tree
There’s a mark upon your skin
Where your heart once used to be
You’re a sinner with no soul
You’re the nearly was I never had
You’re an angel I was told
Then you put the arrow in my back
Shot shot shot shot shot like a bullet
Stop stop stop stop stop oh you love it
No no no no no now you’ve done it
You’re The Boy Who Murdered Love
Love love love love
You’re The Boy Who Murdered Love

7. ME & YOU
Can't explain what it is
It takes my heart on a ride
The thought of seeing you
You teach me more everyday
You lived your life more than me
It's no bother, it's you I see
Who knows what happens now?
One day things will change, I know
But today, here and now
I don't have any doubts at all
That it's me and you, stuck like glue
Soul to soul, home from home
Perfect too, me and you
I don't know why I'm afraid
It's losing you that I dread
I shudder at the thought
You are the medicine jar
You're the court and the spark
I'll love you when I'm old
Who knows what happens now
When we take our final bow?
But today, here and now
I don't have any doubts at all
That it's me and you, stuck like glue
Soul to soul, home from home
Perfect too, me and you
Stuck like glue
Soul to soul, home from home
Perfect too, me and you
Perfect too, it's just me and you

8. NOTICE
I'm still dancing
Now we're burning
The heat was rising
And now we're breathing more and more
Can you see me now
Can you hear me shout
When I'm dancing through the fear
Will you catch my fall
Do you know me at all
It's like you never notice me
It's like you never notice me
And I'm still trying
I'm not tired just yet
My eyes are drying
I never dream that you forget
Can you see me now
Can you hear me shout
When I'm dancing through the fear
Will you catch my fall
Do you know me at all
It's like you never notice me
It's like you never notice me
In my room there was doubt
Now no words can come out
We were friends, we had heat
Now I choke when you speak
Because you never notice me
Because you never notice me
Can you see me now
Can you hear me shout
When I'm dancing through the fear
Will you catch my fall
Do you know me at all
It's like you never notice me
It's like you never notice me
Notice me

9. MY HIP
I dream of the day when we find, we find ourselves
And we are both together, we are both together
Speaking your truth, you have lost me, lost me
In a place that is so tender, it is so tender
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Your touch makes me blind, now, I don't want to see
Not now, no, no, not ever, oh no, no, not ever
Smiling this way and I wonder could it be forever
Wonder could it be, could it be forever
Could it be forever?
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Could it be forever?
I dream of the day when we find, we find ourselves
And we are both together
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Your hand is back where it belongs
On my hip, on my hip
Your voice is sweet and it's singing me a song
Could it be forever?
Could it be forever?
Could it be forever?
