This is our time, we're gonna celebrate,
The vows we make till our dying day,
Got you on my left side, best friend with a ring on my right
all that i pray for you know the love inside,
trust in me we've got nothing to hide,
getting down to all the grooves i wanna play on my radi-radio
i vow, i won't come before us
i vow, i'm gonna do, gonna do what i must
this is love this ain't no cake cutting cage,
this is crazy crazy love
The beat inside my heart is racing, i can't wait to say that i do
the look on everybody's faces,
when you walk in such a beautiful view
the beat inside my heart is racing,
never been so sure of something so new
and my temperature is rising, when you walk in such a beautiful view
i vow
i could not wait to mark this day
we were only three years in,
sign our names and we're gonna lock it in
When you're on to a good thing sweet thing,
you do you know i do too
worth waiting for to get this moment right,
everybody in the house of love we're gonna set it alight
get those feet up off the floor the beat has dropped
and we're just getting started right now, yeah.
I vow, i won't come, won't come before us, and i vow
i'm gonna do, gonna do what i must,
this is love this ain't no red ticker tape parade,
this is crazy crazy love.
the beat inside me heart is racing,
i can't wait to say that i do,
the look on everybody faces,
when you walk in such a beautiful view
The way it feels is so surprising,
never been so sure of something so new
my temperature is rising,
when you walk in such a beautiful view,
sit down man hold your peace,
this one here gets the best of me
ain't the way it used to be,
but it's the way it's gonna be,
love came for you and me
put you here infront of me,
full of love full of life makes me want to shout
i vow.
lock it in

Closer

Drawing a line on the calendar, look for the judgement day
Keeping an eye on the back door, clear for the getaway
closer coming closer, two ships out drifting in the night, fixing to collide
One set of records for the weekend, Clapton and the Cooder O' Ry
Top forty playlist for the weekday, there's a bad moon on the rise
Closer, coming closer, you did not set this thing alight,
Two worlds will collide.
On the one hand you're the saviour, the other for the taking of aid
Both hands are needed for the digging, cleaning out the mess you made
Closer coming closer, two ships out drifting in the night, fixing to collide

Time To Be Human

i won't promise you forever baby,
but i will do my best to please you.
Maybe we can touch a little bit of paradise
between the things we keep are all the things we leave behind
Set this thing into overdrive, let's get out of here
there's something cool about the sound of the wheels in motion
The future's yet to be written we can make some change
the past is a prison or a teacher and that's a little strange, strange
stop what you're doing take hold of what you'll miss, it's time to be human
try a little, try a little tenderness, time to be human
and if you're playing it safe girl, you're just another blank page
heart and mind we'll line it up, it ain't all we got to taste it
I know a dive bar deep down an alleyway
every day of the week that place is jumping,
they serve a new kind of drink designed to get you started
open late and just a full tank of gas away.
stop what you're doing take hold of what you'll miss, it's time to be human
try a little, try a little tenderness, time to be human
and if you're playing it safe girl, you're just another blank page
heart and mind we'll line it up, it ain't all we got to taste it
stop what you're doing take hold of what you'll miss, it's time to be human
try a little, try a little tenderness, time to be human
and if you're playing it safe girl, you're just another blank page
heart and mind we'll line it up, it ain't all we got to taste it

Adelaide

Bright lights are calling, top billing at city hall
it’s all that she talks about, all that she craves
it’s a long way from where you are now, to now you’ve got it made
aren’t you worried about the changes Adelaide
when Adelaide walks into the room and the lights go down
her voice is like a cool drink in the shade,
when she plays all the high notes on her red guitar,
it’s a feeling no writer can write, no painter can paint.
Singing on the street that’s fine, home before dinner time
that’s not how they play it in the A grade,
gotta be on the stage for the agent to get paid,
it that really what you’re after Adelaide
when Adelaide walks into the room and the lights go down
her voice is like a cool drink in the shade,
when she plays all the high notes on her red guitar,
it’s a feeling no writer can write, no painter can paint.
Bright lights are calling, top billing at city hall
it’s all that she talks about all that she craves
Its a long way from where you are now to now you’ve got it made
aren’t you worried about the changes Adelaide
it’s a long way from where you are now to now you’ve got it made
is it really what you wanted Adelaide.

Moving On

my heart and my mind like a fool i want to give it only to see you walk on by
hand in hand with someone who won’t love you the way that i can
i have tried, showing you how good it might be,
there’s a stand in kind of fool, always hurting you, taking all your love and leaving
if you will not feel like i feel it,
if you won’t believe like i believe it,
there’s nothing more that i can do to prove,
i have, cleared my eyes mind and dried my tears,
Im moving on, taking my time for healing,
Do you remember, all the waves of the king spring tide,
silhouetted by the moon of September, singing ride sally ride,
i don’t mind looking back on all those memories,
i’ve got those days to keep me company,
in the time that it takes, you’re making all your big mistakes,
here’s what I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna do
if you will not feel like i feel it,
if you won’t believe like i believe it,
there’s nothing more that i can do to prove
i have cleared my mind and dried my tears,
moving on taking my time for healing, walk on by walk on by,
and i ain’t looking back now.
