Begin Again (The Man's Perspective)

Take a deep breath in the mirror
He didn’t like when you wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put your headphones on
He always said he didn’t get your songs
But I do, I do

Thought I’d be angry ‘cause your late
But I got here early and I stand and wave
You walk to me
I pull your chair out and help you in
And yes I know nice that is
Yes I know

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one guy
Who knew as many small town artists as you
But I do
We tell stories ‘bout our crazy lives
You’re coming off a little shy
Like I do

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to your car and you almost stopped right there
But we start to walk forward and talk about your family and friends
Every single desire and you want to talk about that
And for the first time what’s past is past

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again
But on a Wednesday in a café, we watched it begin again

Di Que Sí

Su cara es hermosa, mi amor
Quédate conmigo, por favor
Su sonrisa brilla tanto
Cuando las estrellas brillan
Como tus ojos me dan felicidad
Quiero estar en tu ciudad
Con una docena de rosas
Y un anillo para hacerte mi esposa

Mi amor por ti no morirá
Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá
Voy y sabes lo que pediré
Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá
Que sí, di que sí

Te ves tan majestuosa, mi amante
Y en este anillo, hay un diamante
Porque sus formas son tan especiales
Los movimientos de sus caderas son celestiales
Vendré, y cuando vengo
Vendré en el amor y halago

Mi amor por ti no morirá
Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá
Voy y sabes lo que pediré
Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá
Que sí, di que sí

May I Have This Dance?

The speakers leaves the stage
And the music starts to play
The women in dresses
And the men in suits
Their posture coalesces
With synchronicity they move

But she sits all alone, her hair all done
A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down
Arising I approach, in effulgent hope
I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

The massive crowd now parts
And the soft music now starts
The dancing now begins
As everyone stares
Our hearts beat to the rhythm
I have not yet cast aside my cares

And she sits all alone, her hair all done
A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down
Arising I approach, in effulgent hope
I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

One more dance with you
One more encore
I wish you could have the moon
What more’s in store?
Babe, I haven’t a clue
But for now, may I have this dance with you?

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

Can You?

I cannot believe I said those words to you
I cannot believe the inconsiderations I made
So many times wishing I could hate you
Hoping that if I pretend my feelings for fade
That maybe my heart would actually believe me
But it never worked that way
And those feelings of hatred never did relieve me
All it ever did was drive me insane

How can I retract all of the words I said?
Sure God has forgiven me
But can that ever make amends?
Can I ever take back my defeat?
Can I take back the hurt?
Can you ever forgive
Those hurtful words?
Can we live and let live?

Spider

Wandering the streets with my superpowers
Because my soul has been devoured
So now every minute, every hour
The voices in my head grow louder
Images ingrained and stained in my head
Finishes the bane disdain clothed in red

I wish that love had never come
And if I’m left to play the hero this time
I don’t wanna have to save you
So babe, don’t stay, just run
Before you run out of time
Before time runs out on you

Badgering my mind with my battle fatigue
Because my brain has lost intrigue
So now every movement, like a machine
The loudness grows, I hear my own heart beat
Rationale inclined and mined from my thoughts
Chaparral maligned and chined, look what it bought

I wish that love had never come
And if I’m left to play the hero this time
I don’t wanna have to save you
So babe, don’t stay, just run
Before you run out of time
Before time runs out on you

Black roses at your funeral
Your insistence to help
You character so haughty some
Resulting in your untimely death
I did not stop you
Because I loved you
Please run
Please run

I wish that love had never come
And if I’m left to play the hero this time
I don’t wanna have to save you
So babe, don’t stay, just run
Before you run out of time
Before time runs out on you

I Miss You

This is a completely different premise than Shane and Shane's track with the same name, so I did not copy anything.  

I miss you
Like the flower
Longing for the sun
Yearning in the midnight hour
Wanting the night to be done
I want you
Like the dark night
Longing for the moon
Longing for you in my sight
Wishing I would come soon

And so day or night
Is not overly important
I just know it feels right
And effervescent
You are the one
I have been waiting for
This flower longs for your sun

Of that, I can only be sure

I Long For You

Like a way back from hell
You saved my life
And time can only tell
If you will stay in my sights
But I trust that we both
Know and understand
That we both have a hole
A fire that is unfanned

And I know it’s not right
To want to come for you
Because I want to come for you
But maybe it’s not right
To not come there for you
Because I want to come for you

I will wait, I will wait
Until the sun falls from the sky
I will chase, I will chase
You until time passes us by
Tomorrow might be too late
Today might be too soon
I know that I cannot wait
To sit with you underneath the moon

Like a thief in the night
You stole my heart
And it only feels right
To wanna be where you are
But I trust that you and I
Know and wanna be
Over our drawn up lines
Let’s live this fantasy

And I know it’s not right
To want to come for you
Because I want to come for you
But maybe it’s not right
To not come there for you
Because I want to come for you

I will wait, I will wait
Until the sun falls from the sky
I will chase, I will chase
You until time passes us by
Tomorrow might be too late
Today might be too soon
I know that I cannot wait
To sit with you underneath the moon

Tranquil nights underneath the moon
Wishful thoughts at the height of June
July burns and scorches the earth
But it’s not as hot as my heart burns
For you, yeah babe, I long for you
I long for you

I will wait, I will wait
Until the sun falls from the sky
I will chase, I will chase
You until time passes us by
Tomorrow might be too late
Today might be too soon
I know that I cannot wait
To sit with you underneath the moon
