1.	You Do 03:33	lyrics	buy track
YOU DO Makes me wanna get up And move it all around Makes me want to come closer and bring it down Makes me wanna get up And move it all around Makes me want to come closer and bring it down Now all other moments start to fade away Fade away… And all that I want is for you to stay with me Stay with me… Cause I believe Our noble hearts Can change the world At least we’ll start… Cause you can feel it All across the land The power of a Woman Who loves a man The way that You Do. The way that you do do do do do. Oh the way that you do. Makes me wanna get up And move it all around Makes me want to come closer and bring it down Makes me wanna get up And move it all around Makes me want to come closer and bring it down Now all other moments start to fade away Fade away… And all that I want is for you to stay with me Stay with me… Cause I believe Our noble hearts Can change the world At least we’ll start… Cause you can feel it All across the land The power of a Woman Who loves a man The way that You Do. (Makes me wanna come closer to you) (Makes me wanna come closer to you)
2.	Open to Me 04:02	lyrics	buy track
OPEN TO ME Baby do you even see? You’re in the final fantasy You had me for a while back there But we could barely sustain A half written melody Will never make a symphony I really thought that you’de be there for me But all you showed me was pain When you threw your fears and shadows down Well I met you with both of my feet on the ground Then what did you do? You turned and flew away. Well baby that’s not how it works Love is meant to heal what hurts But you have to feel it first Would you open to me? (Open to me) Tried to say I’m sorry first But you’re in another universe You know that this will never work Till you open to me, open to me Would you open to me (Open to me) We could choose to run away Keep living in a fantasy But we already know what’s at the end of that road, baby…. If I lay my fears and shadows down Would you meet with both of your feet on the ground? If I follow through Would you turn and walk away? Cause baby that’s not how it works Love is meant to heal what hurts But you have to feel it first Would you open to me? (Open to me) Tried to say I’m sorry first But you’re in another universe You know that this will never work Till you open to me, open to me BRIDGE And if you call me in the middle of the night You know I got you and we’re gonna kick it right And if we’re moving on then we can keep it light Just stay open to me (Open to me, Yeah) And if you call me in the middle of the night (Middle of the Night) You know I got you and we’re gonna kick it right (Gonna kick it right) And if we’re moving on then we can keep it light Just stay open to me Open to me, yeah Just stay open to me Open to me, yeah Just stay open to me Open to me, yeah Just stay open… (Open to me, open to me) Repeat
3.	Where We Are 03:42	lyrics	buy track
WHERE WE ARE She was sending postcards From across the room Instead of talking to me She was dropping clues Saying that she missed me But I’m so confused Cause baby I’ve been sitting here Right in front of you You could have it all And never even have it You could miss the magic… If you’re not looking And everything we wanted s so close we could grab it But we’re just so distracted… Well maybe It’s right here where we are But baby we’ve never felt so far We’re in different dimensions Searching for connection Oh baby its right here where we are Her body lay beside him But she was lost in space He had to cross an ocean Just to kiss her face And every time she turned away It was another fall from grace It’s like having heaps of holy books With all the words erased You could have it all And never even have it You could miss the magic If you’re not looking And everything we wanted Is so close we could grab it But we’re just so distracted… Well maybe It’s right here where we are But baby we’ve never felt so far We’re in different dimensions Searching for connection Oh baby its right here where we are (Ooooooh Waaaaooo waaaaaoooo) (Well maybe it’s) (Ooooooh Waaaaooo waaaaaoooo) (Well maybe it’s right here) (Ooooooh Waaaaooo waaaaaoooo) (Well maybe it’s right here, yeah yeah) Well maybe It’s right here where we are But baby we’ve never felt so far We’re in different dimensions Searching for connection Oh baby its right here Where We Are.
4.	What Loneliness Is (interlude) 02:22	lyrics	buy track
WHAT LONELINESS IS You don’t know what loneliness is Until you’ve seen it all Anything is possible When you’re not afraid to fall You don’t know what emptiness is Until you’ve gone inside Anything is possible When you’ve got nothing left to hide And I know That if we all do If we all do our part And put it on the table then we’ll see That if we all could If we all could let go Of trying to control it It could be Just the way Just the way we always wanted In the visions that have haunted your soul This is why This is why I’ve come to tell you Tell you that your time has finally come To come back Home. You don’t know what loneliness is.
5.	Come Back to Me 02:56	lyrics	buy track
COME BACK TO ME Close your eyes And tell me what you see When you look inside Your arms wrapped around your knees Cause I still cry The tears of the fallen The parts of us all and Especially you and I And all that could be If instead of choosing fear We chose to be free… All the little pieces of my broken heart Come back to me All the little pieces of my broken heart Come back to me (All the pieces) All the little pieces of my broken heart Come back to me All the little pieces of my broken heart Come back to me Hide away The parts you cannot hold For another day But promise you’ll be bold And burn down the lines Between you and I before More years go by without Without you by my side (By my side) It’s a terrible vice to delay paradise Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Oh, come back to me
6.	ComePassion 03:25	lyrics	buy track
COMEPASSION I met her on the walkway And she got the groove She’s looking at me sideways And I don’t know what to do Cause when I got to thinking about it I really don’t see How we could ever be together She’s a world away from me (A world away from me) But now she’s blowing up my phone today She’s got the love Sending me sweet messages (Mmmm hmmm) And I can’t get enough Cause every time I see her face, baby (Baby, baby) It’s only on a screen Oooh I really want to dance with her Dance with her Dance with her So I’m throwing down my phone baby Cause I got to groove This girl’s got everything And she makes me wanna move I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) I wanna give it to you (Come, come, cooo ohhhh) I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) Do you feel it too? (Come, come, cooo ohhhh) I wanna give you ComePassion (Yay, Aye) So I make an invitation To finally meet Sweet anticipation I can feel my heart beat And now the days they pass in slow motion I keep looking at my phone Oooh I really want to dance with her Dance with her But I’m all alone (All alone) So I’m throwing down my phone baby Cause I got to groove This girl’s got everything And she makes me wanna move I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) I wanna give it to you (Come, come, coo ohh) I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) Do you feel it too? (Come, come, coo ohh) I wanna give you ComePassion (Yay, yay) ComePassion Yay, Yay So I’m throwing down my phone baby Cause I got to groove This girl’s got everything And she makes me wanna move I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) I wanna give it to you (Come, come, coo ohh) I’m feeling so much (ComePassion) Do you feel it too? (Come, come, coo ohh) I wanna give you ComePassion Yay, yay
