(G. DeGraw)

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon oh…
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rise
It puts over me

[Chorus:]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your:
Strength

Remember seeking moons rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind and
Cover me…
Bringing back
more than a memory

[Chorus]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
to guide me
Give me your strength…

You'll be my vacation away from this place
you know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides…
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly

[Chorus]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your strength

Give me your strength (chariot)
Give me your strength (chariot)
Give me your strength (chariot)
Give me your strength (chariot)

Give me your strength:
Give it to me (chariot)
Give me your strength:
Give it to me (chariot)
Give me your strength:
Give it to me (chariot)

Give me your strength
Oh chariot

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart

But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl your body fits me like a glove
And you shower me with words of love

While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it in on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you

When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one

You were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say I'm the one
I'll forgive you

I don't wanna get too close
I don't wanna get too close
See this isn't where my head is
If you knew me, I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of... my true love

I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special if you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun


Dreaming of... my true love
Oh, oh, oh

So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special if you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway

And even if you want me to stay here (Nice to meet you, nice to meet you anyway)
I'm telling you right now I should leave (Nice to meet you, nice to meet you anyway)
Before I get to changing my mind, dear (Nice to meet you, nice to meet you anyway)
I hope you understand what I mean
I hope you understand what I mean
I hope you understand what I mean
I hope you understand what I mean

Here at the party,
Everyone's happy,
Everyone's high.
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?

CHORUS:
Chemical party, lover down...
It's not the walls, it's not this town.
You're just too high to see the point,
You think your name is 'pass the joint'.

I think I like you,
But you like this whole room,
You sexy machine.
I’m jing-a-linging,
From here to the ceiling.
Inside I’m reeling,
So fresh and so clean.

CHORUS:
Chemical party, lover down...
It's not the walls, it's not this town.
You're just too high to see the point,
You think your name is 'pass the joint'.

You're still too amazing to ignore,
But I'm incapable of rescuing you.
You find it too damn easy to get bored,
That's why you're always trying something new.
And then when you can't hold up,
They're all over you,
Flies on cake, flies on cake...

CHORUS:
Chemical party, lover down...
It's not the walls, it's not this town.
You're just too high to see the point,
You think your name is 'pass the joint'.

Chemical party, lover down...
It's not the walls, it's not this town.
I'm just too drunk to make my point,
But you think your name is 'pass the joint'.
Oh you think your name is pass the...
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala

Belief, makes things real.
Makes things feel, feel alright.
Belief, makes things true.
Things like you, you and I.

Tonight, you arrested my mind.
When you came to my defense.
With a knife in the shape of your mouth,
in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.

Belief builds from scratch.
Doesn't have to relax, it doesn't need space.
Long live the queen and I'll be the king.
In the colour of grace.

Tonight, you arrested my mind.
When you came to my defense.
With a knife in the shape of your mouth,
in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me, belief.

I'm going to yell it from the rooftops.
I'll wear a sign on my chest.
That's the least I can do, it's the least I can do.

Tonight, you arrested my mind.
When you came to my defense.
With a knife, in the shape of your mouth,
in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.
And I'll stand by my belief.

Oh, I'll stand by my belief.

When my pass came in, you dropped the ball
It didnt change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if lips stay still
There is a line I crossed
And when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, I've gotta crush
I suppose that i could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that senses are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I'm not ashamed
You might just feel the same
But you have to try it
If you're ever really gunna know
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, ive gotta crush
I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I cant control it- you've got me all over the road
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me off, but I dont mind
I just get better with time
And so do you
So do you
So do you
My crush

Hail to the light, that my baby's watchin' me.
In the darkness of the window,
I can hardly get to sleep.
Wish for the hour, that the night time soon shall pass.
And the morning dew will bring us,
to a day our souls can last.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love (yeah)

Situation: candle light,
enough to see the bits around you,
but its never very bright.
Stare at a memory,
you through the grapevine heard the truth.
It's good to learn from your mistakes,
but that only works in youth.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love

Restless minds, curtain calls, follow fanfares.
Troubled hearts, just a walk down the hall.
Restless hearts you take a punch, just to land one.
Troubled minds, it's only fair after all.
Mountin' the trail, but you got it in sight.
Sometimes our only way is jumpin' I hope your not afraid of heights.
Reach in my pocket, for a bill that isn't there,
To face all of the un-doings, is still more than I can bear.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving
Giving love
Giving love
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together, baby
Free together, baby

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to love you more than anyone

Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
Oh I feel good
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
You speak kind
Oh if you were mine
What would we be like
We would be liked
We would be
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
Everything else would be overrated
Everything else would be overrated
Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like
I will be enough
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you
Baby it's for you
Baby it's for you it's all for you
