The Hard Way 02:42
The Hard Way The sky is spitting on me, just like you would if I was down again A deafening symphony accompanies my sleep as i repent Coming back, keep coming back, coming back to you Cause i like love the hard way Try to leave i’ll make you stay Don’t worry it’s my mistake Cause i make love the hard way Those times you spoke to me of being unsure what you were with me for Hurt my self esteem and made me want you more than i did before To come back, please come back, come back to me Cause i like love the hard way Try to leave i’ll make you stay Don’t worry it’s my mistake Cause i make love the hard way The ups and downs give me a thrill a nad keep me entertained But i never seem to be fulfilled I’m a move short of winning the game Cause i like love the hard way Try to leave i’ll make you stay Don’t worry it’s my mistake Cause i make love the hard way

On The Ground I walked down by the river tossing my dreams with stones Humming a song just for me, got used to being alone And i never knew what was coming for me You just flew in and swept me out to sea Right off my feet and i fell down But being on the ground aint bad when you’re around You took me to the mountains and healed me with your hands Taught me to see through new eyes, we don’t have to live by the plan And i never knew what was coming for me You just flew in and swept me out to sea Right off my feet and i fell down But being on the ground aint bad when you’re around Don’t leave me now, the darkness will blow out As long as we’re not defeated by doubt And i never knew what was coming for me You just flew in and swept me out to sea Right off my feet and i fell down But being on the ground aint bad when you’re around

Haunting Me 04:03
Haunting Me Treading through waters of a sacred land To find a placeholder just to loose my head The things that can’t be captured belong to the road I can’t carry them with me, they’ve forsaken souls I get woken up at night by the woman i want to be She’s in the eye of the tiger and it’s haunting me I used to travel by the look on his face With one gaze i’d go miles away He showed me the world just to use me for himself Now i’m crying diamonds that only time can melt I get woken up at night by the killer of my dreams He’s in the eye of the tiger and it’s haunting me (ooh’s) Searching for a feeling, am i shooting just to miss? Praying that good fortune will grace me with a kiss Cause each time it gets harder to pack up and forget Hope has a lifeline that goes down with regret I get woken up at night by the life i thought i’d lead It’s in the eye of the tiger and it’s haunting me

Fire 04:45
Fire Been walking alone for some time Not knowing what to look for hoping i’d find Something worth sticking around for Questioning my footsteps in black and white Till i saw a color in the corner of my eye As i watched you hold the door You seemed to smile with your eyes With just one look you broke the ice When you, you lit a fire in me You lit a fire in me You, you lit a fire in me Called me sweetheart Pulled me close at the bar Let me push you too far And made everything else go away Didn’t know much about you, like where you’re from What you’ve seen, who you wanna become It all felt like a dream I watched you as the music played Hoping that you would look my way And make me believe I’m the one you’ve been waiting for I’m the one, no one before Cause you, you lit a fire in me You lit a fire in me You, you lit a fire in me My heart didn't hurt Made it all feel worth it You put me first And made everything else go away Don’t let it all burn out If i run come get me and kiss away my doubts The past is dark and full of voices bringing me down But with you, oh with you there’s a light on me You lit a fire in me You lit a fire in me You, you lit a fire in me

Howlin’ At The Moon Come back, why’d you have to go? You left footprints in the snow a memory to feel the pull Don’t you hear me Howlin’ at the moon for you? I’ll wait, my lost fortune It’s in the stars to tell what’s true I know one day you'll see it too Got lost in the woods last night I thought if i searched then you might Find me and take me away Don’t you hear me Howlin’ at the moon for you? I’ll wait, my lost fortune It’s in the stars to tell what’s true I know one day you'll see it too I’ll sit on the rocks of this riverbed and wave my head high Feel you in the breeze and taste you in the sky Don’t you hear me Howlin’ at the moon for you? I’ll wait, my lost fortune It’s in the stars to tell what’s true I know one day you'll see it too

Come Back Around From day one you held out your gun And laughed at my fears for fun To split me at my seams In your eyes I saw a warning sign It flickered out of sight Before i knew what it would mean I thought you were my partner, we shared the same team But then you turned the tables and left me discretely How could i have known the changes of the breeze It’ll all come back around to you one day Couldn’t shy away, i was your helpless prey Begging you to stay Forced to pay the fee Cause i knew you’d run unless i gave you some Of my hard earned blood and you took it all from me I thought you were my partner, we shared the same team But then you turned the tables and left me discretely How could i have known the changes of the breeze It’ll all come back around to you one day (ooh’s) I know you’ll get yours (ooh’s) Isn’t that what you came here for? I thought you were my partner, we shared the same team But then you turned the tables and left me discretely How could i have known the changes of the breeze It’ll all come back All come back All come back around to you one day
