Verse 1:
There you are creeping through my dreams like so many nights before
You sing the song that you know I long for that leaves me wanting more…
You trap me in this make believe, ‘till morning sets me free…

Chorus:
Wake me up I’m lost in your glory
Dreaming I was part of your story
I can’t fight this lonely obsession
You’...ll never see, the beauty in me…

Verse 2:
You appear so close but I know you’re far you’re a million miles from my reach…
It’s hard to wake when you pull me in cradling every word that you speak…
The fantasy consumes my world now that day can’t set me free…

Chorus

Bridge:
You’ll never know how your lullabies pull me back to sleep…

Watch me, as close as you can and then kiss me,
Before we both understand, what might be, or not be...
tomorrow...

Chorus:

But maybe, this could be the something that I've waited to feel,
And maybe, this could be the someone that I'd found to love me...

Verse 2:
Whisper a sweet saying in my ear
Then listen to what my heart say...s so clear
Then smile, just smile, for me...

Chorus

Bridge:

But all I wanted, was love and power,
And all you took was love and power
So I cannot stay in your life forever
Your love cannot lead the way together.

Somethin' Sorry

Your smile's goin' strong
As I keep mine collected and calm
But I can't help look your way
Can I smile back just for today

Pre-chorus:

Cuz I can't do much more and that's fine
It's nice to be content but sometimes...

Chorus:

I wonder if I'm wasting time
Is there something for me better to find...
'Cuz he's lookin...' at me like you do
But I won't do what I'm not supposed to
It's probably just a little test, and I could try a taste make sure you're the best
You're wonderful and safe and right...
But I know I need some sorry tonight...

Verse:
He keeps starin' my way
Like he's got some, somethin' to say
And his looks got the better of me, no I can't go where he wants me
So please just kindly keep your distance, I'm happy in my quaint existence

Chorus

Bridge:
Whoah...whoah....hmmmm....
that gleam's got me...
whoah...whoah...hmmmm
no please, not me.

Last Chorus:
But I can't wait until the end of time
To play the game I resist all of the time
He's lookin' at me like you do
And I think I'll do what I'm not supposed to
I want him right under my skin
The fight seems like it wants him to win
'Cuz you're wonderful and safe and right
But I know I need some sorry tonight...

The Right One

Verse:
You let me know there's nothing nice to say, anymore
So now I wonder why I'm sitting here...so bored
I always end up on the wrong side of you
Caught in the branches of our expired youth

Chorus:
But you give me something
When you ask for nothing
And I got this love thing, and I don't want it to go
There's jus...t something about someone when that someone is the right one for you

Verse 2:
You play the villain in my dark fantasies
You killed those lovely men who fell at my knees
All that was left was you and that's my excuse
But now I'm wondering why I'm still in your shoes

Chorus

Bridge:
So give me back my wings
And take back all these strings
I'm giving myself back to me to find myself again

Chorus
