“Not Yet Perfect"

 

One day

Everything will be

Perfect

When the world ends

I could see it happening

Everything changing for the better

Until one day

Everything will be perfect

And at that point

It'll all just end

It'll all just...

 

"Need You Around"

 

She was so lovely

In appearance and character

I had a hard time 

Trying not to stare at her

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the first time that we ever met

There was something I just had to express

 

I need you around

I need you around

 

"Echo Road”

 

I remember when we first met

Couldn’t wait to see you on the weekend

I’d write you letters all the time

We’d talk til the endless hours of the night

 

I’m in love with you

I want to put your heart at ease

That’s why I picked out a ring

And got down on one knee

 

At the end of the day we talk most every night

Though we’re far apart

We can’t wait to reunite

Our love keeps growing stronger

You’re the person that I honor

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t want to waste anymore time

Just promise you’ll always be mine

 

Chorus...

 

 

“When You’ve Had A Bad Day”

 

I want to be

The voice you come to when you’ve had a bad day

I want to wash it away

Tell them they are wrong 

To treat you this way

 

It’s better if you just leave now

It’s better if you just leave now

It’s better to just walk away

 

I want to be

The voice you come to when you’ve had a bad day

I want to wash it away

Tell them they are wrong 

They can’t make you stay

 

 

 

 

It’s better if you just leave now

It’s better if you just leave now

It’s better to just walk away

 

“Like Lowell & Ellen”

 

Always knew that I loved you

From the moment that we met

Always knew that I needed you

In fact I need you now

Cause when I'm down

I need you to pick me up

And when you're down

I'll do the same for you

 

Always knew that I loved you

From the moment that we spoke

Always knew that I needed you

This is not a joke

When I'm down 

It's your job to pick me up

And when you're down 

I'll do the same for you

 

 

 

 

 

“I’m Gonna Love You, Baby”

 

I'm gonna love you baby, Better than anyone you know  (x2)

I always want you to be, A big part in my life

That's why I'm asking you to be my wife

 

I'm gonna love you baby, Better than anyone you know  (x2)

I always want you to be, Right there by my side

That’s why I need you in my life

 

 

“Where You and I Are One”                                             

 

Al-luh-sun

I wanna pull you into my world

Where you and I are one

 

Al-luh-sun

The day begins

The sun is bright

The grass is wet

Green as your eyes

The birds are singing

The sky is clear

You are near

 

 

You're just the one I was looking for

I've never been so happy before

I wanna ask you an important thing

It's something very, very big

I wanna ask you an important thing

Will you wear my ring?

 

 

“1+1=1”

 

We agree that we want to be

Together for a long, long time

They say one plus one can equal one

We talk, we both thought

Now is the right time

For one plus one to equal one

Another one, one part you, one part me (x4)

I look at you, deep into your eyes

I say hey, I think it's time

For one plus one to equal one

You look at me, say I'm happy

I say wow, I'm so excited

For one plus one to equal one

Another one, one part you, one part me (x4)

“Owe It All To You”

I hope you’re feeling better

I hope your stomach doesn’t ache

Get rest my darling

I hate to see you in any pain

For what you pulled me through

I owe it all to you

 

The house it needs some cleaning

It seems it never goes away

If you'll make some popcorn

I'll pick out a videotape

And hold you the whole night through

I owe it all to you

 

Not even in a dream

Could I have dreamt of someone like you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Alison”

 

Alison, that Elvis Costello song

Gets stuck in my head

And I just

Don’t want to hear it no more

That story is not yours

Nor is it mine

But when I sing your name

That song cycles through my thoughts

I have a plan to drown out the enemy

With a newer sound, now you will see

Just what I’m speaking of

I’ll sing this song a thousand times again and again if that’s what it takes

To erase the memory

 

Of that other one

Alison

Erase the memory

Of that other one

Alison

You’re the only one for me

 

 

 

 

And now it’s time

To say all the things I thought about

But I hadn’t said

Cause’ I was scared to ruin it with you

You’re more than beautiful, more than sweet

Your eyes look back at me

And say the things that words just can’t explain

Alison means truth and nobleness

You are as, your name says

It hurts when lovers go away and don’t come back

This time I’m so confident

You’ll be the one who is true

 

Unlike that other one

Alison

Erase the memory

Of that other one

Alison

You’re the only one for me
