Naive 04:18
Maybe I was naive with you Naive with both eyes open I knew it was just a matter of time 'Til I'd come back here broken I don't believe that's how the story has to end I don't believe we're always slaves to all our sin I would wait for you, I would try If I only knew I would wait for you, I would try If I only knew, you would try too Maybe I didn't fight for you So afraid you didn't love me Afraid you were just a-passin' through That you thought nothin' of me I don't believe that we have nothing left to say I'd like to see us both give love another day I would wait for you, I would try If I only knew I would wait for you, I would try If I only knew, you would try too I am moving on, I am letting go of this song Unless you turn and look me in the eye I am moving on, I am letting go of this song Unless you turn and look me in the eye I am moving on, I am letting go of this song Unless you turn and look me in the eye I am moving on, I am letting go of this song Unless you turn and look me in the eye

I went to the park again today, I cried Not knowing if you lived or if you'd died Knowing you've got no one by your side I wished, I wished again that you had tried Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o I bet that you are lying in your bed Lying there with daggers in your head The sun that shines would only hurt your eyes The sun that shines would only hurt your eyes Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o You said that you were hurt when you were young The taste of it is always on your tongue You drink to try to wash that taste away You fear that it is always here to stay You fear that it is always here to stay Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o Oh-o-hoh-o-ho-o-o I went to the park again today, I cried

Reach For Me 03:50
Sometimes you find yourself reflected in another's eyes Sometimes you start to say the words but you are compromised And so you stay another day stuck inside your head And you seem to be alive but you might as well be dead Reach for me, and I will Reach for you Reach for me, and I will Reach for you You cannot see around the bend, turn it anyway Trying to walk upon the water, you sink and swim away Turn your failure into a crown, you are the queen of pain But don't you let it get you down, just sing into this rain Reach for me, and I will Reach for you Reach for me, and I will Reach for you Collect your fears and knock them down, like bowling pins Like a game of whack-a-mole, it seems you'll never win But the time is running out, it's time to get in the game The picture's being taken, gotta get in the frame Reach for me, and I will Reach for you Reach for me, and I will Reach for you

I am kissing your tears like I could drink up your sorrow Keep you from drowning in this lake of wounded dreams I want you to know dear, you can make it 'til tomorrow The world is dressed in shadow now, and nothing's what it seems Never fear, darling, I am here My arms will be strong enough for the both of us tonight Never fear, darling, I am here We'll rock softly across the water 'til the morning light Lightning strikes and you are wincing Thunder claps, you close your eyes Waves rise up, and you are sinking I can hear your cries Never fear, darling, I am here My arms will be strong enough for the both of us tonight Never fear, darling, I am here We'll rock softly across the water 'til the morning light

Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid To begin Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid To begin at the beginning You begin at the beginning, yeah Everyone's gotta start somewhere Everyone's gotta start somewhere Everyone's gotta start somewhere You begin at the beginning You begin at the beginning, yeah
