Heaven Gate

Heaven Gate
Am I lost girl?
Cuz holy vision
Has up and told me
Where we’re going...
And my belief in
My freedom is my
Crowning glory
I hold it close.
And my religion
Is imitation
Of my relations
Out there in space...
Thought that I would get there right away...
And walk through a heaven gate…
My eyes are open
To solar radiance
And when I close them
Cities of gold
And I remember
A time that’s not in the calendar
When we used to roam
In the garden E.din
The inner visions I’m seeing
Of another time and place
Thought that I would get there right away...
And walk through a heaven gate…
And my decisions
Have all been written
In the stitching
Of the fabric of space
Thought that I would get there right away...
And walk through a heaven gate…

Burning Flame
03:28

Girl it don’t feel right
Now that I’m not with you
There’s not a second goes by
I don’t wonder why
I left you in that room
I could lie
And say that I’m as happy without you
But you know that I can’t
I’m an honest man
And honestly
I’m breaking down
We used to make faces in the mirror
Now I’m only looking at mine
I guess that I see myself clearer
After the tears I’ve cried
I guess that I was running away
From a burning flame
From a burning flame
I’ve been on my own
So far and yet so close to home
And in all the places I’ve been
I’ve been wondering
If any of them match yours
Girl, I’ve been so alone
Wishing I could pick up the phone
And tell you I’m lost
And I’ve paid the cost
Of leaving you to mourn
We used to make faces in the mirror
Now I’m only looking at mine
I guess that I see myself clearer
After the tears I’ve cried
I guess that I was running away
From a burning flame
From a burning flame
Maybe I thought it was too bright
Maybe I paused before I went into the light
Maybe I couldn’t see the signs
But I saw the signs
And I’m realizing
We used to make faces in the mirror
Now I’m only looking at mine
I guess that I see myself clearer
After the tears I’ve cried
I guess that I was running away
From a burning flame
From a burning flame

I'm In Pieces
03:38
|
|||
If I said it clear
Would you believe it? Oh yeah…
If I left you in tears
Would you believe me? Oh yeah…
That I’ve loved the version that I’ve been
But it wasn’t me
And I long to find
The person that’s within, cuz
I’ve been at sea
I’ve lost my way
I’m incomplete
And I’m in pieces
I’ve loved it here
But you know what
This ain’t right
Girl I loved it when you came
And now I’m in pieces
Ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I’m in pieces
Ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I’m in pieces
If I left you high
Would you be broken, or no?
If it cleared the skies
Would you be open, or no?
Cuz I found a person that I love
That will never change
But I’m doubting if this story is for us, cuz
I’ve been at sea
I’ve lost my way
I’m incomplete
And I’m in pieces
I’ve loved it here
But you know what
This ain’t right
Girl I loved it when you came
And now I’m in pieces
Ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I’m in pieces
Ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I’m in pieces
I wanna know if you’ll be ok
If I’m away and
Don’t want the memories to fade
Just taking space to
Find the person that I was
And I’m doing this because
I’ve been at sea
I’ve lost my way
I’m incomplete
And I’m in pieces
I’ve loved it here
But you know what
This ain’t right
Girl I loved it when you came
But now I’m in pieces

I Miss You
04:06
|

I miss you
And the way we used to laugh
Till tears came out of our eyes
I miss you
And the way we used to go out to eat
And sit side by side
And I miss the warmth I felt in my heart
Rachael now that we’re apart
There’s something missing every day
And I can’t understand
Why I walked away…
You are something special
I never met someone as good
And I was ready to settle down
I dunno if I would
Have done it but there’s one thing
That’s for sure…
I miss you
I miss you
And the way we used to make up
By playing catch in the park
I miss you
And the way you’d wrap your arms
Around me after it got dark
And I miss the warmth I felt in my heart
Rachael now that we’re apart
There’s something missing every day
And I can’t understand
Why I walked away…
You are something special
I never met someone as good
And I was ready to settle down
I dunno if I would
Have done it but there’s one thing
That’s for sure…
I miss you
And I’ve had trials and tribulations
In relationships but
That wasn’t the case with you and me
It’s hard to breathe….
I miss you
And I miss the warmth I felt every day
I wish I had the words to say
You’ll always have a place in my heart
And I’ll never forget what you are
You are something special
I never met someone as good
And I was ready to settle down
I dunno if I would
Have done it but there’s one thing
That’s for sure…
I miss you

All Over Again
04:20
|
|||
He moves out, I move in, and the whole cycle
Just starts all over again, all over again
I play along, cuz who’s to say, this could end up
With us kissing in the rain, all over again
And you never
You never know quite where life is going
We could be seaside in the sun and
We could be laying by a pool
But I’m a fool, I’m a fool
And you’ve been on my mind
I’ve been chasing time
Looking for a way back
To your embrace
And I’ve been on a wayside
Sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for my moment
All over again
I move out, he moves in, and the whole process
Just starts all over again, all over again
But does he bow to your grace, does he make
You feel like I did yesterday, all over again
And you never
You never can tell when you’ll be sorry
We could be living in a story
We could be sailing in the wind
But you’re with him, you’re with him
And you’ve been on my mind
I’ve been chasing time
Looking for a way back
To your embrace
And I’ve been on a wayside
Sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for my moment
All over again
No one else feels right
Nothing ever feels the same (the same)
I wake up at midnight
Reach over but it’s in vain
And I’m in pain
All over again…
And you’ve been on my mind
I’ve been chasing time
Looking for a way back
To your embrace
And I’ve been on a wayside
Sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for my moment
All over again

Good Love
03:17
|
|||
Baby I got a question…I wanna know right now
Was this just a lesson, that we’re supposed to grow out of?
Cuz the love’s still here and it’s here to stay
But I found myself in the rain, yesterday…
I messed up here, I messed up there
I found the worries, in the back of your head
I found good love, and I’ve lived without it
Good love, and I’ve lived without it
Baby I’ve got a question…I wanna know right now
Did we get to heaven, and then fall out of a cloud?
Cuz the love’s still here and it’s here to stay
But I found myself in pain, yesterday…
I messed up here, I messed up there
I found the worries, in the back of your head
I found good love, and I’ve lived without it
Good love, and I’ve lived without it
Cuz the love’s still here and it’s here to stay
But I found myself in the rain, yesterday…
I messed up here, I messed up there
I found the worries, in the back of your head
I found good love, and I’ve lived without it
Good love, and I’ve lived without it
Baby I got a question…I wanna know right now
Was this love a blessing, that we both were counted out of?

Dreamin'
03:44

We were ok in our own world
I was your guy you were my girl
I was making breakfast in the morning
And laying by your side all night long
I was dreaming
That I was never leaving
And I was feeling
Those feelings strong
And I was dreaming
That you were all I needed
But obviously babe
That dream is gone
And I'm dreaming another one
There were angels when you came
I almost gave you my name
Something was holding me back from proposing
Darling I’m sorry but I didn’t know
That I was dreaming
That I was never leaving
And I was feeling
Those feelings strong
And I was dreaming
That you were all I needed
But obviously babe
That dream is gone
And I'm dreaming another one
I didn’t know heartbreak takes its time
All this pain made me change my mind
I tried to go back to you
There was nothing I could do
So I cried cuz
I was dreaming
That I was never leaving
And I was feeling
Those feelings strong
I was dreaming
That you were all I needed
But obviously babe
That dream is gone
And I'm dreaming another one

Ascension
04:14
|
|||
I don’t know where it all began
Or when it’s happening again
Its times like these I tell my heart
You won’t find it in this world
At least I can understand
Signs all over this land
Seems my visions come and go
I’m so alone…oh so alone
Can you find me?
I’ll be in a little car
Can you find me?
Sitting there lost for words
Can you find me?
Going up to heaven
I’m on…on the ascension
I live on a paper edge
This loneliness just never ends
It’s only back home I found the reason
I came…I found the meaning
And I’m finally awake
God only knows how I’ve waited
There’s everything and nothing left
To do…and I’m wondering can you
Can you find me?
I’ll be in a little car
Can you find me?
Sitting there lost for words
Can you find me?
Going up to heaven
I’m on…on the ascension
God only knows how I’ve waited
In my tears I’m liberated
I sing my song and I believe
I believe
That you’ll find me
I’ll be in a little car
And you’ll find me
Sitting there lost for words
You’ll find me
Going up to heaven
I’m on…on the ascension
