Follow Through

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart

So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart

So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Chariot

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon
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 moon's rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind
And cover me
Bringing 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

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup that's 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

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 that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

I've 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

While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it in on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you

When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you

[Nice to Meet You] Anyway

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to 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
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Because I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway

And even if you want me to stay here
I'm telling you right now
I should leave
Before I get to changing my mind, dear
I hope you understand what I mean

Chemical Party

Here at the party
Everyone's happy
Everyone's high
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint

I think I like you
But you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling
So fresh and so clean

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to get the point
You think your name is pass the joint

You're still too amazing to ignore
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always trying something new
And then when you can't hold up
They're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake

Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint

Belief

Belief
Makes things real
Makes things feel
Feel alright
Belief
Makes things true
Things like you
You and I

Tonight, you arrested 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
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 collar of grace

Tonight, you arrested 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
You stood by me
Belief

I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do
It's the least I can do

Tonight, you arrested 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
You stood by me
Belief

Crush

Well my past came in, you dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if lips stay still

There is a line I crossed
There when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again

My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, I've got a crush

I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that senses are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I'm not ashamed
You might just feel the same

But you have to try it
If you're ever really going to know
My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, I've got a crush

I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I can't control it - you've got me all over the road

My Dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me up, but I don't mind
I just get better with time

I Don't Want to Be

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by an identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation - made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

Meaning

Hail to the light that my baby's watches me
In the darkness of the window
I can hardly get to sleep
Wish for the hour that

The nighttime soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us
To a day our souls can last

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love

Situation candlelight
Enough to see the bits around you
But it's never very bright
Stare at a memory
You, through the grapevine, heard the truth
It's good to learn from your mistakes
But that only works in youth

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love

Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all
Mountain, the trail, but you've got it in sight
Sometimes the only way is jumping
I hope you're not afraid of heights
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
And to face all of the undoings
Still isn't more than I can bare

Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
It's always been good to me

More Than Anyone

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
before I see you again
What can I say to convince you to change your mind?

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Over-Rated

Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
I feel good

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you

You speak kind
Oh if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked
We would be...

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
Everything else would be over-rated

Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like...
I will be enough

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby it's for you, it's all for you

Change Is Gonna Come (only on "Chariot Stripped")

I was born by the river
In a little tent, and o
just like that river
I've been running ever since

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living
but I'm afraid to die
'cause I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky,

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me
don't hang around

It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
and I say brother help me please
But he wind up (knocking) me
back down on my knees

There have been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long time, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
