Verse You burst into the room Just like fireworks And all I see Are stars and blinding lights across the sky Images of air balloons And walking down the aisle with you For the moment, I'll keep these thoughts inside PreChorus And I can't believe That when you see me I hear your friends say "leave" But you don't have to go Chorus You don't have to go-o-o away From here Please stay for a while Be near I don't want you to leave I just want you to stay You don't have to go Verse Thousands of people But I swear that we're alone Cause you're the only one that I can see You tie me up in knots The way your name falls off your tongue I'd tell you mine, but I can't speak PreChorus That's why I can't believe That you're here with me You say it's time to leave But you don't have to go Chorus You don't have to go-o-o away From here Please stay for a while Be near I don't want you to leave I just want you to stay You don't have to go-o-o away From me Please stay for a while Don't leave I'd rather be hurt Than never know how to bleed You don't have to go Choruses.... You don't have to go-o-o away From here Please stay for a while Be near I don't want you to leave I just want you to stay .... You don't have to go-o-o away From here Please stay for a while Be near I don't want you to leave I just want you to stay You don't have to go-o-o away From me Please stay for a while Don't leave I'd rather be hurt Than never know how to bleed You don't have to go

Mission Hill 03:41
Come pick me up, my heart's been repo'ed Is this how it feels to be in love alone? Turning, twisting, my heart's thrown around You're not listening to me Up on Mission Hill It's you who's laughing at the sky All is still As I come to another reason why That if you don't get the hurt it's clear It's time to leave you here And I will, I will, I will Up on Mission Hill Like the end of that flick when the ship was sinking And that chick named Rose let Leo drown Freezing, sinking, my heart's going down But it stopped beating for you Up on Mission Hill It's you who's laughing at the sky All is still As I come to another reason why That if you don't get the hurt it's clear It's time to leave you here And I will, I will, I will Up on Mission Hill Distance makes the heart grow fonder So I held on from afar If absense made your heart grow stronger Why was he driving and why were you riding in his car? Come pick me up, my heart's been repo'ed Up on Mission Hill It's you who's laughing at the sky All is still As I come to another reason why That no matter what I say a part of me will always stay Yes it will, it will, it will Up on Mission Hill Oh it will, it will Up on Mission Hill Oh I will, I will Leave you up on Mission Hill

Jenae 03:40
Jenae, Jenae, Jenae What can I say? Each time I leave, I say this ain't for me But whenever I'm gone I can't let you be Today, Today, Today I met a girl who reminds me of you Dancing away out on the floor To your song at my show, now I want you more... Jenae, oh Jenae These feelings won't go away Each time I decide it's my last goodbye My heart always gets in the way I'm a fool for you I'd say, I'd say, I'd say You are the furthest thing from my mind Singing my songs out on the road It's lonely out here like nobody knows Okay, okay, okay I'll admit sometimes I still think of you But not all the time... Okay, all the time I'm a little confused when you're on my mind Jenae, oh Jenae These feelings won't go away Each time I decide it's my last goodbye My heart always gets in the way I'm a fool for you I'm a fool, Jenae Jenae, Jenae, Jenae We're fading away There on his arm I see you smile Are you leaving for good or just for a while? Jenae, oh Jenae These feelings just won't go away Each time I decide it's my last goodbye My heart always gets in the way I'm a fool, I'm a fool Who never will get over you Cause I just realized that I'm only alive Whenever I'm thinking of you I'm a fool for you I'm a fool Jenae, Jenae, Jenae You're walking away...

On My Lips 02:49
I feel your name on my lips I keep my eyes on your hips Do you wanna go out tonight? Girl, we might get it right Your name on my lips Doo doo doo doo doo doo All I wanna feel is Your name on my lips I keep you on my mind Who knows what I might find If it all leads to a kiss I guess it all just starts with this You name on my lips You got me singing... Doo doo doo doo doo doo All I wanna feel is Your name on my lips You keep my heart in your hand Girl, I hope you understand It ain't like this every time But somehow I always find Your name on my lips I want your name on my lips Doo doo doo doo doo doo All I wanna feel is Your name on my lips You got me singing... Doo doo doo doo doo doo All I wanna feel is Your name on my lips I want your name on my lips I want you on my lips

Amber Song 03:31
Shifting colors in my head Changing bodies in my bed My soul was black and blue and red Til I heard her song Lightning streaks across the sky My chest is heaving out a sigh I'm finally breaking free tonight To the tune of Amber's song I heard her laugh across the street It sounded like a melody And then she turned and smiled at me That's when I heard her song Didn't like the man that I'd become My heart was aimless it was numb And now it's beating like a drum To the tune of Amber's song She sings to me as she moves right through me She sings to me when the music's gone And I believe it can play forever She's my Amber Song Feeling angels all around Hearing color, seeing sound Lifts me ten feet off the ground When I hear her song Gather all the sand upon the beach Every grain that I can reach So she can feel it on her feet And know I hear Amber's song She sings to me as she moves right through me She sings to me when the music's gone And I believe it can play forever She's my Amber Song She reminds me of the colored lights and better nights When everything was going as it should And if I had my way, I'd hear her song everyday And that's how I would know that life was good And life is good.... She sings to me as she moves right through me She sings to me when the music's gone And I believe it can play forever She's my Amber Song She sings to me as she moves right through me She sings to me when the music's gone And I believe it can play forever She's my Amber Song
