Love is not a foregone conclusion
Love is not written in the stars
It's not just a matter of three words
It's sweet and it's got to have heart
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, whoah
So when you pack your bags and you leave here
Hesitate before you walk out the door
Is this my cross to bear? Should I question it?
What do I want him for?
Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh, whoah
CHORUS: [You can't bank your hopes on a person
You can't assume that you know best
You can't just rely on adoration
It's the one thing that's put to the test
Beware of the smile that glitters
Beware of the want of your own
And don't try to turn a human
A human being into a home]
Whoah, into a home
Whoah, into a home
Why bother having a husband?
Why bother being his wife?
You should only live up to your own expectations
No person can define your life
Love is not a box to check off
Love is not on a To-Do List
You don't wanna be caught on the end of a phone
Wondering what all you missed
[CHORUS]

Lightning

I've been down, I've been out and about
Been walking this land with my feet on the ground
Your face was hanging on a wall in my mind
Ten years I've been searching, it was you I did find
Last time we met, you tore down the night
Kicked me out of bed and you stole my light
CHORUS: [If you could see me now, would you ask me to stay?
Would you say you're sorry? Would you turn away?
Would you be proud of the woman inside?
Tough as iron with the lightning in her eyes]
Eyes
What would you say to me?
Through the alleys I was chasing my dreams
I had songs in my heart 'til you abandoned me
Then I went sailing wide over the ocean blue
Ignoring every scrap that kept me thinking of you
You held my hand when we crossed the street
I thought you always would take care of me, but...
[CHORUS]
Would you still know me by my face?
We've been transformed by our lifelong race
And I'm not the same girl you said that you loved
On that starry night with the Moon up above
It took me a decade to figure out that you never live twice
So why would I stick around?
There's no time to play nice
If I could see you now, I wouldn't ask you to stay
I'd slam the door in your face and make you walk away
I hope you'd do the same if I came 'round to see
There's no way to hide the lightning in me
If you could see me now
Whoah
What would you say to me?
Please don't ask me to stay

Sky Song

Sunrise, sunrise
The dawning of a new love
Light a candle, sparks fly
He swears that this is true love
Blinded by beauty and innocence
Soft bodies eager to give in
The tremble of hips and fingertips
The passion when they make love
Under a deep red sky
Under a deep red sky
Sometimes when flames ignite, the smoke gets in your eyes
Sunlight, sunlight
Shielded eyes from the sun
Chaste fingers intertwined
By day they always have fun
Savoring each moment like the petals of a rose
Easy, relaxed, and natural
The world has been put to right
They kiss with their mouths closed
Under a bright blue sky
Under a bright blue sky
When flames burn down, you lose reason to lie
Starshine, starshine
The night consumes their souls
The candle has long been blown out
And terror makes them whole
The lights up above inspire hope
But they're a thousand years away
Imprinted sunspots are all that remain
Vision clears upon a death knoll
Under a cold black sky
Under a cold black sky
Now the flames are gone, and carelessly they die
Ah-oooooh
Ah-oooh, oh
Oh-ah
Ahh

Wake Up!

It was all a blur
In my head last night
It was hard to tell
My wrongs from right
I lay in a trance
In between the sheets
Free to wander
In the universe inside me
CHORUS: [And I wake up
And I wake up
I can't get back to sleep
And I wake up
And I wake up
Holding onto the spoils I reap
And I let go
Of the force that brings me back to life
And I know
The greatest gift is in my mind
Tonight]
Oooooh
Oooooh
I'm locked in a skin
That's a million pounds too much
But I touch the blue sky in my sleep
And for me that's enough
Old faces reappear
I may or may not know who
The mystery is the greatest part
And to mine own self I stay true
(Who am I?)
CHORUS: [And I arrive, walking on foot
My train of thought runs late
And I play roles in the gripping tales
That my unconscious mind creates
And I ignore
The call that pulls me back to life
And I know
I'm never turning back
Time]
Arise, dreamer
Waken from your slumber
The nightmare will be over soon
[CHORUS]
And I wake up
And I wake up
And I wake up
