“TAKE ME TO THE PLACES THAT I LOVE”
HOPELESSLY (IN LOVE)
Let me throw this idea
Around the room
Cos it’s one for you to get hold of
We’ve all been here before
We don’t say what we mean
We live to regret that
Without a moment of doubt
I’m hopelessly in love with you
With all the colour you bring
I’m hopelessly in love with you
Before there’s anything else
That gets stuck in my head
And renders me silent
Like a bolt from the blue
Or a wrong word from you
That leaves me in meltdown
Without a moment of doubt
I’m hopelessly in love with you
With all the colour you bring
I’m hopelessly in love with you
CLOSE TO YOU
It’s only when I lie so close to you
Do I feel, so real
It’s only when I say to my soul be still
Do I feel, so real
Did you get so close
You could see the skin I breathe in
Did you get so close
You could feel me breathing (in and out)
It’s only when I sway to your rhythmic way
Do I feel so real
It’s only when I say to my soul be still
Do I feel so real
I’m so close to you
I’d like to be In your sleepy rhythm
To feel you purify my soul
And I’d like to say, how much I like to be
Close to you
BRIGHT LIGHTS
Take my hand
And guide me through the way it has to be
I want to see, the bright lights
Shining just for me
Raise your game
Match me, for every move I make
I want to see, the bright lights
Shining just for me
I recall, laughter in the moonlight
With you all
I want to see, the bright lights
Shining just for me
Take me to the places that I love
WATER
Anytime you feel
Like heading to the ocean
Let me be your mirrorball
And spin me under bright light
Like water under bridges
There is no way to hold him
Let me be your mirrorball
And spin me under bright light
I won’t let him break your heart
I won’t let him break your heart
Let him go, like water
Let him go, he is water
Raise the roof-beams high
Till you can see the stars
Let me be your mirrorball
And spin me under bright light
HALLELUJAH
If I never find the time
To tell you how much I love you
If I get lost in the words
Confused between nouns and verbs
Then let it be read, let it be sung
Let it be shouted out
Hallelujah
Tell me it’s not too late
To walk in your shoes
And feel your rhythm and blues
To walk in your shoes
And circle the earth with you
If you’ve got words in your head
Or whistling around in your heart
If you thought love was a verb
She would say, how absurd
It isn’t a word, it shouldn’t be spoke
Just let it be, how you feel
Hallelujah
Tell me it’s not too late
Do you see, the way that she sways
Do you feel, her rhythm and blues
When she walks in your shoes
Do you sing
Hallelujah
THREE MILLION STARS
Three million stars, from me to you
You see this northern boy, is in love with you
You see he’s inside out and he’s upside down
And he’s all shook up
Three million stars, from me to you
