Hurry Up Open Up

Well I've tried for far too long
This can't carry on
While our heaven turns to hell
You go further and much further in your shell
Hurry up make it mean something
Open up make me feel something
Hurry up before it dies
Hurry up, open up or say goodbye
Got one hand on the door
I can't this any more
Tried to hit you in the heart, done all I can in the sack
But there's nothing, no there nothing coming back
Hurry up
Cry a little
Open up
Laugh a little
Hurry up
Just t ry a little
Open up
Your heart a little
Hurry up
Out of your hole a little
Open up
Your soul a little
Hurry up
Do something
Open up
Anything

This Is Love

I had nothing to talk about
Now I've something to shout about
That's one change that you brought about in me
Now I've something to think about
Something good I can sing about
All these feelings you bring about in me
(Oh my God) Oh my God! This is everything
(This is strong) This is stronger than anything
(This is all) This is always and everywhere
This is love
Long nights praying by candlelight
For love to come and lay by my side
Then the answer came through the night to me
(Oh my God) Oh my God! This is everything
(This is strong) This is stronger than anything
(This is all) This is always and everywhere
This is love
This love is beautiful, wonderful, powerful
A glorious, marvellous, magical miracle
Excuse me for waxing so utterly lyrical
I'm so overcome by it all
(Oh my God) Oh my God! This is everything
(This is strong) This is stronger than anything
(This is all) This is always and everywhere
This is love

Love Me For Now

I need you to listen baby
This aint easy for me
I don't need no commitment
Just your sweet company
I won't ask for your heart babe
I won't ask you to lie
I just want to hold you baby
And get me your sweet reply
No till hell freezes over
No anywhere anyhow
No whatever the weather
No till the twelfth of never
Don't love me forever
Love me for now
You can leave when you're ready
With no conscience to clear
I just need something physical baby
And baby I need it right here
So lay with me baby
The night's closing in
Let me pull you much closer
And feel your skin on my skin
No till hell freezes over
No anywhere anyhow
No whatever the weather
No till the twelfth of never
Don't love me forever
Love me for now
A month would be so wonderful
Even a week would be just so sublime
Just a day in your arms would kill my loneliness
All I'm asking is 'Stay for the night'

You've been in some battles
Got injured in some wars
still make their cages rattle
And still you go for more
I feel it in your fingers
You sweat it from your pores
It shows in every smile
And word from out your mouth
You wear your heart inside out
You wear your heart inside, inside out
You wear your heart inside, inside out
I hid from confrontation
My thoughts remained my own
Was an island and a nation
Safe in my comfort zone
You've broken my defences
Brought love back to my home
You brought me to my senses
You simply showed me how
You wear your heart inside out
You wear your heart inside, inside out
You wear your heart
Relentless in your laughter
unerring in your quest
To see that change comes faster
To give your very best
The underdog's your master
Your passion for him burns now
You need to show the whole world
Cause the whole world needs to learn how
You wear your heart inside, inside out
You wear your heart inside, inside out
You wear your heart inside out

Come Home

In the darkest of hours
In my worst state of mind
Thought I'd need super-powers
To forgive you your crimes
But little by little
One day at a time
Though progress is brittle
I'm seeing good signs
Silently cheering
My rage disappearing
At hearing your voice on the line
In a flash it's all over
The world's off my shoulders
The anger is all left behind
I'm laying here praying
In my head replaying
you saying my name down the phone
Eating my pride to
Be right here beside you
Not waiting to starve here alone
Come home
Well I had other lovers
I had better times
Thought I had it well covered
But it was buried alive
You know when it's hidden
Too long before it dies
Love will still haunt you
Sure as day follows night
Silently cheering
Rage disappearing
You're there at the end of the road
Freedom was tasted
And many years wasted
In places you just had to go
You said it, you regret it
It's time to forget it
I won't let it sink me like a stone
All of the torment
Will go in that moment
I know I'm no longer alone
Come home
Pain ever distant
Gone in the instant
I know that you finally have
Come home

We're not in love anymore
Perhaps we never were
We're not in love anymore
If we ever were
Love aint s'posed to make you feel like you're bad
Love aint s'posed to make you cry
Love's supposed to get you high
Love aint s'posed to make you feel like you're cursed
Being close together
Through all kinds of weather
Make it all feel better
Not ten times worse
Love aint s'posed to make you feel hate and hurt
Love is s'posed to soothe and heal
All the hate and hurt you feel
Love aint s'posed to make us feel like we do
Those who love each other
Look to praise their lover
Never knock each other
And that's what we do
Let's face it that's what we do
We're not passionate lovers
And we're nothing deeper, nothing better
It's just no good, we're just no good for each other
Any love has gone, gone altogether
