When you were raindrops I felt you rolling on my skin When you were a lake in the clouds I dove right in Let the river flow And when you step over the line You are a waterfall Let the river flow When you were an ocean I thought I would drown Any time that you want to melt Don't you know I'll follow you down Let the river flow

I Like You 03:06
I like the sounds that you make When you make a mistake Or you make the kind of love that Nobody can fake I like the smell of your skin When your patience wears thin And there's so much to do you don't know Where to begin I like the thought of your soul Going out of control When you get fired up When you get on a roll I like nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like you I like the look of your smile When your life's a pile Of confusion you wear Like it's the latest style I like the cross and the blood And the tears and the mud And the way your walls crack When you can't hold back the flood I like nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like you I like cats and the zoo I like everything we do And if there's more life after death I bet I'll like that too I like grass, trees, Everything that makes you sneeze, And the way you get wet When you get on your knees I like nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like Nothing as much as I like you

Like all addicts I like to think That I am different Like all people I like to think That I can be loved Who I am is only who I love Who I am is only who I love In my dreams I find myself In malls and supermarkets In my dreams I find myself Falling in love Who I am is only who I love Who I am is only who I love We will part ways One of these days One way or another We will part ways One of these days

Day Drinking 03:12
I'm daydreaming Of day drinking It's just another way To pass the time of day Heartbroken But still hoping To string along some words That you have never heard If your life's like mine You're gonna need some ay drinking time It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking time I'm daydreaming Of blowing off steam With a friend or two Maybe even you If you're not working Or tear-jerking Because for what it's worth I'd like to quench your thirst If you're life's like mine You're gonna need some day drinking time It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking time I'm daydreaming Of day drinking Yeah, I got a hunch I'm gonna have a liquid lunch If you're free Join me And if you're on the clock Just let me know When you Get off If your life's like mine You're gonna need some day drinking time It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking It's day drinking time

To the untrained eye It must look like We're not doing a goddamn thing Except getting older But what they don't see Are the places that we're building In our hearts, soft and warm To hold each other They don't see the light that shines Inside of you But I do Yes I do This world is full of sick And broken people Who just want you to hurt The way they do And to the untrained eye It might seem like they're winning But if you know what you're looking at They've already lost 'Cause they can't see the light that shines Inside of you But I do Yes I do They don't see the light that shines

I saw the light in your eyes All those years ago When every light in this world goes dark There is one that will glow I see the light in your eyes And there is nothing else to see To a world full of shiny objects Your light blinded me Let the light in your eyes Let the light in your eyes Let the light in your eyes shine I feel the light in your eyes Like the rays of the sun Shining into all those dark places You could melt the ice off anyone Let the light in your eyes Let the light in your eyes Let the light in your eyes shine
8.
It was a long time ago So long ago that I don't trust the memory But the impression that you made was too deep To be mistaken for... Anything but love Anything but love Anything but love It was a time before we knew All the demands that time was going to make It was a time when we believed We believed we didn't need... Anything but love Anything but love Anything but love Sometimes I still hear it The crack of dawn inside your voice And every time it takes me back Before I was a fool for anything but love Time comes and time goes Time rushes on until time runs out When time tears us apart I know I won't remember... Anything but love Anything but love Anything but love Anything but love
