Chained

I watched you breathe in
And I wished you’d stop
Only for long enough
Long enough
It’s
Hard
To
Say
Separate or combine
I ask you
One last time
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It’s not a secret you should keep
I won’t let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
Winged or chained
I ask you
Would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh

Angels

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love
And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I’m ready
As long as you’re with me
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

Infinity

After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn

Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much

Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way

Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me

Give it up
I can't give it up

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much

Give it up
I can't give it up

Teardrops

Whenever I hear goodbyes, reminds me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance reminds me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true
Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"


And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you

When I'm dancin' 'round, reminds me baby of you
I really let you down, next time I'll be true
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you
