Lyrics:

EXPLAIN TO MY HEART

I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was 
Now you've make it clear
I'll never be right
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time the darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away

CHORUS
Explain it to my heart 
It's better that we're over now 
Tell me one more time that this it's suppose to be 
Tell me that I'm better off without you 
How it's better to forget about you 
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart 
Now if I try I can see the reasons why 
Why we can't stay together I might convince my mind 
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go 
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you 
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now 
Tell me how I do

CHORUS
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together 
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me 
Explain it to my heart

IF IT WERE YOU

There's a time when the heart can no longer give in 
You'll try to stand up and fight 
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all your feeling
How can you go on 
But the memories of times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on

CHORUS
If it were you 
Would you hold on and hope that it might 
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what you would do
If it were you

You can never take back all you've given in love 
No matter how hard you try
It's over and done you just have to let go 
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on 
All the nights that we spent, never thought
They would end
Why can't they go on

If it were you 
Would you hold on and hope 
that it might bring back the love we once knew 
or just give up forever that part of your life 
Tell me what would you do 
If it were you 
If it were you
Tell me what would you do 
If it were you 

Over and over I go back through time 
Didn't we promise our love till we die 
Asking you deep down inside 
Did we really try 
Another broken heart is all that is left
But life must go on 
All the nights that we spent, never thought 
They would end 
Why can't they go on

CHORUS

YOU COME TO MY SENSES

I picture you on the beach 
Lying in the sand 
Out of reach of my trembling hands 
I picture you in the car
Blonde hair in the wind 
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin 
The smile on your face 
The way that you taste

CHORUS
You come to my senses 
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
Driving home in the cold 
January rain
I've got to find my way out of this pain 
I reached for you in the night
I dreamed of your kiss 
I woke before it got light 
With your name on m lips 
Alone in my bed
Your voice in my head 

CHORUS 
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin 
The smile on your face 
The way that you taste
You come to my senses 
I can't stop this ache inside
Oh, I have no defenses
You come to my senses
Ah...

SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE

The sun is coming up 
But I don't see the light 
I keep goin' on and on 
Thinking bout' where we went wrong

I always heard that love
Could stand the test of time
But somethin' that we had is gone 
Maybe we just stayed too long
I wish that I could lie 
And tell myself it's alright 
It was nothing at all

CHORUS
Somebody, somewhere
Is falling in love tonight 
Is nothing at all 
Somebody, somewhere
Is saying there last goodbyes 
I gotta know 
Is it the same when it comes
And when love goes 
Where do I go from here 
Don't know where to turn 
Will you find another face 
Or disappear in yesterday 

Should I hold on 
Should I let all the memories go
Was it nothing at all 
She comes and goes

CHORUS

WHAT DOES IT TAKE

All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you 
As I learn to live alone 
Can't pretend I'll live without you 
As I learn to live alone 
Why can't I be a man about it 
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us 
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny

CHORUS 
What does it take 
To win you back
To hold these arms once more 
What can I say 
To make you understand 
You're still all I'm waiting for 
At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much 
After what I've been through without you 
You'd think that I'd move on 
But you're still my destiny

CHORUS 
What does it take 
'Cause we can't go back 
Can't be like it was before 
What does it take 
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take 
What will it take now 
You're still my destiny 

CHORUS

ONE FROM THE HEART

I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say 
I look around me, I don't know who really knows 
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone

And somedays I feel so alone 
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there 

One from the heart that's all it takes 
One to hold you, one who knows you 
One to one together 
One from the heart, one for each day 
One to lean on, one to keep on 
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face 
It's never too late to get to where I want to go 
It's never too late to get to love someone 
All that I need is to be more than yesterday 
And all I can give along the way 
One from the heart that's all it takes 
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day 
One to lean on, on to keep on 
The words you will remember 
The words you'll hear me say 
It's all about the love
It's all about the give

CHASIN' THE WIND

Did the best I could 
To make you mine 
If you ever felt anything for me 
Well, you never gave a sign 
Thought time would make you change 
Make you want me 
But baby I never had a chance 
Now I know that there's just some things 
Just not meant to be 

CHORUS 
No use 
Making you care about me 
No way 
That I'm gonna win 
Oh darlin' 
I might as well be 
Chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just 
Chasin' the wind 

Open up my heart
Let you inside 
If love was what you we're lookin' for 
Well, I guess it wasn't mine 

So I guess I better go 
It's over and done 
But you know I'm not really sad at all
'Cause you can't really say it's over
When it never had begun

CHORUS 
Can't reach the sea
If you can't get past the sand
Can't touch the sky
If you can't reach up your hand 
Can't give if you give nothing back

CHORUS

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumbling around me 
Red acid rain
Glows in the night 
Nuclear winter closes down on me 

The light of the world is fading to black 
And the absence of people who care 
Is bringing me down, bringing me down 

CHORUS 
God save the queen 
Dear mother earth is dying away 
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today
Nowhere to run 
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean 
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier 

The children of the earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame 
Is bring me down, bringing me down 

CHORUS

MAN TO WOMAN

Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to 
Tonight, I'll keep you warm

CHORUS 
Man to Woman
When you're lying next to me 
Man to woman 
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me

Hold me close 
You're the nearest thing to heaven
That I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown 

CHORUS 
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me

I wanna hold you in the night 
Can't you see 
That I'm just livin' for your light 
I want the world to know 
I can't let you go 

CHORUS

Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see 
Baby what you mean to me...

ONLY TIME CAN HEAL THE WOUNDED

You hear a sound as she's leaving 
You'll hear your heart pound so hard 
You'll miss her warm touch and the way 
Things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her 
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken 
And you still can't let her go 

Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone 
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go 
You'll take a long ride without her 
Until the tears dry away 
In every way you try to reason 
When there's no reason left to hold 

Only time can heal the wounded of love 
Any day now time will tell 
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal 

Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation 
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone 

Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell 
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal

WHO DO YOU LOVE

I never know 
What you're gonna do 
You're always so far away 

Down below 
You used to tell the truth 
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away 
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game 
Baby, won't you tell me please 

Give me one good reason to stay 
When you won't come
Right out and say 

CHORUS
Who do you love 
What makes you happen 
What do you need for satisfaction 
Who do you love 
I need an answer 
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love

I wish you'd lie 
Or tell me the truth 
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else 

Give me one reason to stay 
When you won't come 
Right out and say

HOLDIN' ON

Walkin' through time 
Reachin' for yesterday
'Cause we're frightened of tomorrow

Trying to find 
The feeling that's gone astray, far away 
I remember the look in your eyes 
Love we made unafraid 
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade

CHORUS
Holdin' on 
'Cause the memory of you
Is something I just can't erase
Holdin' On 
I don't know what to do 
'Cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens 
We can't let it end this way 

So far away 
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow 

Maybe someday 
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can 
Out of rhyme, out of time 
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind

CHORUS
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something had gone away
So afraid
To find what we had

CHORUS
