Rain 03:45
I don’t want to be alone, I don't want to feel so low in my life again, Never again I don’t want to cry no more, Don’t want to feel this pain no more I’m fading out, I need your love Rain, come on rain Come on cleanse me now, I need rain I need rain inside I don’t want to hide no more, Don’t want to be ashamed no more, I wanna love myself, learn how to love myself ‘Cause I feel this urge inside, To resurrect into myself I’m alive again, feel so alive again Rain, come on rain Come on cleanse me now, I need rain I need rain inside Rain, come on rain Come on cleanse me now, I need rain Rain, come on rain, rain Come on cleanse me now, I feel rain I feel rain inside

Deep underneath, It’s not always what it looks like, from the outside Mama is in the kitchen, making breakfast for the children, The smell of French toast wakes them up Papa is with the paper, in his sofa by the window, There are no wars it all seems right But I say, mmm… Late night at the office, Papa falls into temptation, He says he married way too young Mama’s by the TV, the kids wonder why she’s weeping, She’s trying to cope with what he’s done Deep underneath, It’s not always what it looks like, from the outside Sam seems always happy, a well mannered, thoughtful student, The future looks so very bright But Sammie is disturbed, insecure, feeling worthless, Crying away to sleep at night Deep underneath, It’s not always what it looks like, from the outside But I’m not gonna live looking back What doesn’t kill you, makes you tough It’s forged the man, I am It’s forged, the man I am… Deep underneath, It’s not always what it looks like, from the outside

Come out... look at the sky, It's time... to feel alive... 'Cause... every day... is a brand new and beautiful... day Come out... there's no more rain Come out... look at the sky, It's time... to feel alive... 'Cause... every day... is a gift, don't let it go... a waste Come out... there's no more rain 'Cause the sun, began to shine, It's alright to feel fine Come out... and hide no more, Breathe in... and let it go... 'Cause... every day is a chance to make it all... go away Come out... for love & joy... 'Cause the sun, began to shine, It's alright to feel fine 'Cause the sun, began to shine, It's alright to feel fine Birds fly, up high, in the sky... Birds sing, and fly, up high... in the sky today, So high... in the sky today... Feel free, to dance, like no ones watching Under, the sun, 'cause no ones watching you today... No ones watching you today... Hush little baby, don't you cry Papa's gonna be right beside you Papa will always be with you...

I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, From the feelings I got for you I was lost, I was lost, I was lost, Didn't know what to do But if I tried just a little bit, If I tried just a little bit harder Oh, I should have tried to find a way, But I didn't know what you would say I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, From the feelings I got for you I was lost, I was lost, I was lost, Didn't know what to do But if I tried just a little bit, If I tried just a little bit harder Oh, I have to find a way, To tell you, all that I wanna, say But, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah... I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared... Of trying and failing... Or was I scared, was I scared, was I scared, Scared of prevailing I was scared, I was scared, mmm...

How do I tell you? That you are the one for me How do I tell you? That you are the girl of my dreams These words are so hard to say, but I want to How do I tell you? That you're the only one, for me I know we are best friends, But why can't we be more than that Let's give it a try girl, I'll show you what it's all about All that I'm trying to say is "I want you" How do I tell you? How much, how much… I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!

We had some drinks, Bodies intertwine to the beat, no one really thinks We had a glimpse, we could be... more than friends We go to my place, Bodies in a bind, locked all night in a warm embrace We had to face, we could be... more than friends (Pa papa pa pa, papa pa pa, papa pa...) More than friends You have to admit, Not every kid gets to live through a night like this You have to admit, We should be... more than friends If the glove doesn't fit, We can go right back to the way that we used to live If the glove doesn't fit, There's no crime... in being friends So let's try... let's try, let's try, let's try to see where it ends Let's try... to be... more than just friends So let's try... let's try, let's try, let's try... Let's try... to be... more than just friends (Pa papa pa pa, papa pa pa, papa pa...) More than friends

Let Me In 02:39
Let me in, wont you let me, Let me in, through your door I'll come undone if you let me, If you let me I'll, give it all 'Cause things, can never ever be, like they used to be, like they were before Just let me in, wont you let me, Let's start something, let's explore (solo) Let me in, wont you let me, Let me in, to your world I'll hang with you if you let me, I promise you, won't get hurt 'Cause things can never ever be, like they used to be, like they were before So let me in, wont you let me, Let's start something, let's explore

Crazy as it seems, you relied on me, I'm beaming with exaltation The way you looked through me, never hinted, Was in your consideration But it feels like tonight, All the stars have aligned, Won't be afraid, of who I am Dreams don't just stay dreams, if you don't want them to, Came to the realization 'Cause time is a fleeting thing, best not waste it, Worried with expectations And it feels like tonight, All the stars have aligned, Won't be afraid, of who I am Yes it feels like tonight, all the stars have aligned, I'll never be afraid, of who I am 'Cause it feels like, we had it coming, for some time... Yes it feels like, we had it coming, for some time
