HUMM
Turn out all the lights and let’s begin
Switch on all the dark and let the music spin
Pour out all the love from days gone by
A gap here in my heart has left me dry

All my life, I’m looking for love I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking
All my life, I’m looking for light I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking

A thousand songs were written in the fall
A thousand more will find their way, we'll sing them all
Somewhere there’s a place where I belong
Bring me to the light that leads me on, and on

All my life, I’m looking for love I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking
All my life, I’m looking for light I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking

Hold me close, humm to me this song
Bring me to the place where I belong
I was hoping for mercy to guide my way tonight
Listening for mercy to call my name again
Hoping for mercy to light my way tonight
Listening for mercy to sing to me..

All my life, I’m looking for love I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking
All my life, I’m looking for light I cannot find within me
Hold me now, I think I’m breaking
I think I’m breaking
I think I’m breaking

All I Want
Whenever I am near you, I fall for you. You light me again and again. Forever, I'm with you. However far you go, dear,
I'll wait for you to meet me again, and again. Forever, I'm with you. Hang on, all my dreams are fading this time,
all my love is... Will you carry me? You're all I want. Hang on to me, all I want is you. Whenever I am near you

I fall for you. You reach me again and again. Forever, I'm with you. Even though I'm far away and I cannot say the words,
“I love you forever and ever.” Forever, I'm with you. Hang on, all my dreams are fading this time, all my love is...
Will you carry me? You're all I want. Hang on to me, all I want is you. Anything you want, I'll stay. All my love is...
Will you carry me? You're all I want. Hang on to me, all I want is you. All I want is you.

Do you love me?
I can't live without you, baby. You blinded me with your brightest eyes. But, I could never read your mind.
Don’t leave me right here, don't leave me so blind. Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me, tonight?
I can’t live without you, baby. I can’t live without your love. I can never read your mind. I can’t see your heart.
Don’t leave me so blind. Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me, tonight?
Your imaginary love, it’s in everything you know, it won’t bring you to the sky. It’s in everything you touch.
Your imaginary love, baby, tell me, are you mine? Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me, tonight?

Already Gone
Please, don’t let me go. This time I really need your arms to hold my breaking heart up close to yours,
I’m shaking, shaking, shaking. If I could make you light up, if I could make your eyes catch fire again.
I can’t make you light up, I'm already gone. Please, don’t tell me no. Tell me that your eyes are getting brighter.
I can feel your aching heart up close to mine. Now, shake it, shake it, shake it. If I could make you light up.
If I could make your eyes catch fire again. I can’t make you light up, I'm already gone. Please, don’t let me go.
Let’s hold our breaking hearts up to the sky. Tonight we're staying out late, we'll find a way to scream and shout
and shake this, shake this. Light up. I could make your eyes catch fire again. I could make you light up.
Light up. I could make your eyes catch fire again. I could make you light up, I'm already gone. I'm already gone.

More
I never wanted more than the beauty of your kiss. Somehow I get lost in the sound of this singing.
But, you're beautiful tonight, in your ultraviolet light. Kiss me softly and sing to me. I'd give anything...
I never wanted more. Show me how to do it, help me find a way. I've got nothing left to live for.
No one else is staying, but you, always you. There is only you.

Swan Sea
Light the way to thee, I'm lost upon the sea, light the way to thee.
Bring me to your shore, where I will hurt no more, light the way to thee.
I wanna sail on to you. Follow you down. Carry my broken frame from this saddest shore.
I'm begging darling, please, crawling on my knees, light the way to thee.
I've sang this song before, broken, on a troubled shore, light the way to thee.
I wanna sail on to you. Follow you down. Carry my broken frame from this saddest shore.
Light the way to thee, I'm lost upon this sea, light the way to thee.
I'm begging for your shore, where I will hurt no more. Light the way to thee.
I wanna sail on to you. Follow you down. Carry my broken frame from this saddest shore.
On the Swan Sea , from the saddest shore…
On the Swan Sea, from the saddest shore, I sang this song before.
I sang this song before, on the Swan Sea , from the saddest… the saddest shore

Eleanor
When I'm with you, you're as good as gold
And I love you like the day that you were born.
When I touch you, you're a silver spark.
You're as perfect as the day that you were born.
Eleanor, I would give most anything to be where you are.
With our young hearts, we're as good as gone,
We're no better than the day that we were born.
But, when I see you, you're a shining star.
You're as perfect as the day that you were born.
Eleanor, I would give most anything to be where you are.
You know you got it, oooh you really got it, baby
You know you got it, yeah, you really got it, baby
Eleanor, I would give most anything to be where you are.
Eleanor, I would give most anything to be where you are.

Rewind
Shoot, shoot, shoot me through the heart
You put your arrows through right from the start
Kiss me, kiss me, then you go
and leave me here, all shaken on the floor
Hold me, hold me through the night
Kiss me gently, you're nothing but divine
I've loved you always, especially tonight
You're more beautiful than I ever said
I never meant goodbye.
No, don't stop, rewind
I forgot to say, “I love you.” this time
Kiss me, kiss me, then I'll go
And leave you here all shaken, on the floor
I've loved you always, and even more tonight
I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant goodbye
No, don't stop, rewind
I forgot to say, “I love you.” this time
But, you can't go back
You can't go back
Shoot, shoot, shoot me through the heart
You're more beautiful than I ever hoped
I never meant,
I never meant goodbye
No, don't stop, rewind
I forgot to say, “I love you.” this time
I love you this time
I love you this time
I love you this time
I love you

Blown Away
The two of us together, we'll go down forever
By the skipping sound that my heart was making, I knew right then for sure.
You're lips were softly moving, what you said, I could not hear
By the quivering way that you breathed my name, I knew right then for sure
That what I've wished was here
Sing it while we're young, Sing it, you've got all this light
I won't desert you, I won't desert you
Sing it while we're young, Sing it, we got blown away
I won't desert you, I won't desert you
The two of us together, what you said, I could not hear
But that cracking sound in your whispered voice, I knew right then for sure.
The two of us together would never be forever.
The shining rain running down your face and that skipping sound that my hear would make
All I've wished is gone

Sing it while we're young, Sing it, you've got all this light
I won't desert you, I won't desert you
Sing it while we're young, Sing it, we got blown away
I won't desert you, I won't desert you
I am not afraid
Sing it while we're young,
Sing it, you've got all this light
I won't desert you, I won't desert you
Sing it while we're young, Sing it, we got blown away
We got blown away
We got blown away

The Ends Begin
Kiss me tonight, hold me so tightly, pull me up close to your heart. Move me, like you did back then,
those days would never end. And seeing you now, I remember those words falling like rain from your eyes,
“Hold me, like you did back then.” Those days would never end.
I fall for you, breathless, dear, I'm going down. I'll wait for you, breathlessly, I'm falling down.
I won't let you go.
Hold me so tight and tell me tonight, whispering soft to my heart,
“You move me, like you did back then, I wish these days would never end.”
When the ends begin, I will let you in, I'll never let go of your heart.
I love you, like I did back then, these days will never end.
I fall for you, breathless, dear, I'm going down. I'll wait for you, breathlessly, I'm falling down.
I won't let you go, we’ll be alright.
You leave me breathless, here. You leave me breathless, here.
I fall for you, breathless, dear, I'm going down. I'll wait for you, breathlessly, I'm falling down.
I won't let you go, we’ll be alright. Yeah, we’ll be alright.

One Thousand Years
I've gone down from the mountains looking for a cure. I came across the desert, here to your front door.
Rolling with the punches, falling beneath the blows, Fighting through most anything tearing up my soul. I wanna run.

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms.
I needed to forgive you. I needed to throw it down. Into the depths of the sea that forgets these things,
beneath the walls of sound that sing for all us sinners, and sing for all our lives.
Wrap this song around our hearts, may it bind us tight.
Now, I can barely remember just what we started for. But, I found some grace there in your arms,
I'm coming back for more, I’m gonna run.

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms.
I long to view forever through the twinkling of an eye. I long to find a song of hope and lay down by your side.
A song for all the weeping, a song for all the tears. I'll sing for you to carry me, I'll sing One Thousand Years, I wanna run.

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake there, in your arms.
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
