Anyway
I don't wanna get too close
I don't wanna get too close

you see this isn't where my head is
if you knew me i'm not like this
but i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway

I believe your very fine
still i haven't got the time
cuz i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway

and the sky opens up
with the soil of the sun
dreaming of my true looovee

I don't mean to be so strange
but my life just took a change
oh your amazing, I'm attracted, and im terribly distracted
and I'm tryin to be verbal, I'm back into the circle

because i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you
nice to meet you
nice to meet you.. anyway (4 times)
 
Chariot

Starring at a maple leaf

Leaning on the mother tree

I said to myself we all lost touch

Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries

Seedless watermelons

Nothing from the ground is good enough

Body Rise

 

Look what's over me

Oh chariot

 

Your golden waves

Are walking down

Upon this face

Oh chariot

I'm singing out loud

To guide me

Give me your strength

Remember seeing moons rebirth

Rain made mirrors of the earth

The sun was just yellow energy

There is a living land

Even over fields of sand

Seasons fill my mind

And cover me

Bring it back

More than a memory

Oh chariot

Your golden waves

Are walking down

Upon this face

Oh chariot

I'm singing out loud

To guide me

Give me your strength

Youll be my vacation away from this place

You know what I want

Holding that cup thats pouring over the sides

You make me want to spread my arms and fly

Oh chariot

Your golden waves

Are walking down

Upon this face

Oh chariot

I'm singing out loud

To guide me

Give me your strength

Give me your strength

Oh chariot

Dancin' Shoes
Its so nice to see you
Can we sit and talk for awhile
I can searched forever
I can't Imagine anything better

Kids up on the stairway
Couples on the sidewalk squares
If I get your heart soon
I'll call a perfect afternoon

(chorus)
Won't you call my number
Don't push, but don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me, but need time to wake

Checkmate on my shoulder
I'm tired if this win or lose
Well I'm no knight in shinning armor
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
I'm no pair of dancin' shoes

My patience ran away
Take me with you
You keep me holding on
Nothing's understood
You're so confusing
Tell it to me straight

(chorus)

I got nothin' left to loose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes (x4)
Just Friends
I saw you there last night 
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least thats what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
Ive had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl your body fits me like a glove
And you shower me with words of love
And you were just friends
At least thats what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
Its not my style to lay it in on the line
But you dont leave me with a choice this time
Why werent you true?
You know I trusted you 
When you were just friends
At least thats what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
You were just friends
At least thats what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
Ill forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
Ill forgive you for what youve done
If you say that Im the one
Ill forgive you
Close Up
this might sound a bit crazy
but i can't help but say it
i'll tell you what i saw 
and your tell me what you think
this a.m. after breakfast
i was cruising past the sidewalk exit up
the store where you work every morning
and this funny boy with this trumpit toy
and his new shoes on
and your hair was long
and you where flipping left and right as you were
he was saying things you were listening you were talking back
you thought i didn't see that 
baby eveyone always say that my eyes hide by my hat

CHORUS:
i have you in closure
i have you in closure
didn't want to get too excited 
but got invited to the party
so i didn't come in 

oh girl i held you with closure and your lies
i know i'm abracive but i'm not control creation
i just demand what i need 
and i trash whats left
we're tired thats allright
we learn to believe it 
cold nights 
and many we seen in this outfit
cloudy skies with you
rainy eyes with you
and this other jake 
hes such a flake
and he slapped me with every intenion
but a tradgedy what sight to see
now i'm throwing dirt cuz that really hurt
and no no  no nothings gonna make me beilieve
we could be what we were

CHORUS

Oh  i held you with closure and you lied to my face
oh baby you've been a bad bad girl
i held you with closure x7

This is what i get
ohh you've been so bad
Belief
Belief mkes things real
Makes things feel, feel alright
Belief makes things true
things like you, you and I

(chorus)
Tonight you rest in my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a God
Oh you stood by me

Belief builds from scratch
Doesn't have to relax
It doesn't need space
Long live the Queen
And I'll be the King
In the colour of grace

(chorus)
Oh tonight you rest in my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a God
Oh you stood by me, Belief

I'm gonna yell it from the roof tops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do, its the least I can do

(Chorus)

And I'll stand by mine, belief
