I believe in you and me. We were meant to be.

My world dissolves in cocoa. There’s a flower in your hair. There’s times I want to take you somewhere incredible to find that you’re already there. You’re already there.

I believe in you and me. We were meant to be.

The sun is rising off our starboard wing and the world is turning blue. Our love stretches from here to the horizon. All I see is you. Just you.

I believe in you and me. We were meant to be.

Life. Joy. Pain. If I get to choose to be with you, I’d do it all again. Hate and fear. We’re taking on anyone anywhere.

Now. Light. Love.

Tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll give you mine. Nothing’s gonna stop us now. Together we’ll fly away.

Who will you believe in when it all falls apart? Look for me I’m standing here and I’ll never break your heart.

Like a single bullet that will never fall. Going round and round the world until it gets us all. All this fear. All these lives. How can we justify?

Alright. Yeah yeah. Don’t fight with me my brother. One love to all my sisters.

If a shot rings out in class 305, does it change your grades? Will it change your life? For the kids who paid and the suits who lie it’s time to turn the tide.

Alright. Yeah yeah. Don’t fight with me my brother. One love to all my sisters.

Don’t fight with me no more. One love.

Two front teeth and a world that’s mostly make believe. While you sleep the real one burns and turns its back on peace.

You are everything.

Dawn breaks in. I can’t wait to see where you begin. News come in but your smile shatters all the negatives.

You are everything.

I can feel it now. Your smile. It’s banging on my heart.

You are everything.

Don’t you believe in yourself today? Is there some reason to walk away? Are you so sure there’s a better place? Already a hero with so much grace.

You want everything but you can’t have it all. It feels like no one’s watching you until you fall.

The chance that you’re taking – you’re on a rail. Audacious and costly and sure to fail.

You want everything but you can’t have it all. It feels like no one’s watching you until you fall. And then you fall.

Sometimes the sun will refuse to shine.

You want everything but you can’t have it all. It feels like no one’s watching you until you fall. And then you fall.

Don’t fall.

A line in the darkness. You have arrived. A distant storm your only heritage. I wait for the dawn in a channel by the reef until the tide reveals your love to me.

The moon and the stars in the sky. The reason for tears in my eye. The thrill when we touch. Feel the current, the rush and I’m yours. Now… if I could have you more.

Anticipation in the lineup. You come in sets of three. I ride the first and leave two more for the coastline.

The moon and the stars in the sky. The reason for tears in my eye. The thrill when we touch. Feel the current, the rush and I’m yours. Now… if I could have you more.

No tattoos, only scars. I’m gonna break that fall no matter where you are. No tattoos, only scars. I’m gonna break that fall.

I’m walking over water. You’re flying through the air.

Within every storm I find this place. Where all of the fears I’ve learned to face come crashing into this heart of stone. Not sure I can make it on my own

Heavy rotation. And I’m down to my last breath.
Be my salvation. It’s not nearly over yet.

Heavy rotation…

It’s calm in the eye so you don’t see. The wind and the rain beat down on me.
The waves lift me up to see the shore. Then push me back down below once more

Heavy rotation. And I’m down to my last breath.
Be my salvation. It’s not nearly over yet.

Heavy rotation…
