LYRICS


Never Let You Down

Time of Day

Never wanna see a tear inside of your eye
Never wanna wake up without you by my side

But that ain't always life
Got to be strong to survive

Cuz it's so windy
As I hold you here
But you're all with me
And I have no fear
The skies they show me the future now
And they're never gonna let us down

Never wanna wipe that smile off of your face
Here in my arms we'll fly up higher than space

And watch the planets go by
Reflecting stars in our eyes

Cuz it's so windy
As I hold you here
But you're all with me
And I have no fear
The skies they show me the future now
And they're never gonna let us down

As we fly gently
Across the clouds
Our joys: plenty
And we don't look down
Lightning may strike and thunder pound
But I'm never gonna let you down

It's like a dream it's like a firefly in the night
Shining so bright
Where will this path lead I don't really even mind
Cuz you're here by my side

Why can't you just be civil?
When we're all civilized
Can't you look past my dribble?
To see what's in my eyes

I'm less than nothing to you
And nothing would be alright
But you can't just meet me halfway
Cuz of your stubborn pride!

Why can't you understand me?
Have you no empathy?
Cuz I'm just tryin' to do what a man needs
To live his fantasy

Maybe you simply forgot
You've got your own damn life
Blame me I'm not a robot
And I'm not always right!

But why can't you
Why can't you say?
Why can't you give me the time of day?
How could you
Treat me this way?
Why can't you give me the time of day?

Short stream of words and colors
To please your appetite
But you're not prepared for others
Humanity won't bite

Am I expecting too much?
Have we outgrown courtesy?
I guess that's just the way that it goes
When you're blind, deaf, dumb and free!

How could you
Throw me away?

Why can't you why can't you say?
Why can't you meet me half way?
Give me the time of day!
Yeah!

BIG

Late nights and never early mornings 
The next party will come without a warning 
I don't know who's lyin' next to me but I bet she knows who I am 
Bright lights the city winking at me 
The show's soon but I don't need to worry 
You know the stage can't wait for me, yeah
You know I want it
You know I need it 
Baby I got just one dream 
To get on that stage 
And play you a song 
And watch you sing along 

I wanna be big 
I wanna big hit 
I wanna be everything and everyone to know it 
I wanna fast car 
I wanna big house and all the girls to know I'm a star 
And I'm sorry If you don't like it 
But here I come so get the spotlight ready 
I wanna be big 
I wanna be a household name on top of the world 
I can't help it's just the way I am... 
I wanna be big 

I'm hangin' out with all the A-lists 
Pop movie stars and all the facelifts 
And they all wish that they were me don't you see?

Angels Don't Tell Lies

I see ya
I see ya comin'
Back from the place
Deep in my heart
She dances
Romances
On a bed of roses and angel wings
She sings

Sing
Sing a song
So I know that I'm not wrong

Life wants to know the meaning of her
But Angels don't tell lies

A garden
Of colors
Dancing like birds around a pond after the rain

She's wrapped in
Blue velvet
Under the sky that gave it's life to make sure she is lookin fine

Smile
Smile so bright
I see the light and I know it's right

I wish wish I saw her everyday
Cuz one picture in my mind can take my breath away
And I know it's hopeless but I just can't look away
Yeah
I can't look away

When time falls like snow
Still, life will not know
The meaning of her
Cuz Angels don't tell lies

Symphony of Dreams

Ever since I was young
I've dreamed of a place in the world to call my own
Hurts when you don't know
But when I'm down I play the symphony of dreams
Know what I mean?

Cascading rainbows of hope
Raining from your eyes I try can't hide oh my what a sweet surprise everytime

Could ya show me the world?
Could ya show me shining skies and heaven's eyes and angels flying mystifying fears are dying
Could show me a place
Where leaves are falling down from trees that sing so sweet the sound
And I could live in paradise forever
Or I could just look at your face

Sittin' here today
I know everything I need in life to do
Not to mention you
But when I see you smiling all I hear is the symphony of dreams
Yeah

Undying rivers of love
Flowing from your heart I know can't go away I'd say it's true but what would you say?

And there ain't nothin that I can do
But I won't give up 'til my dreams come true!
I'm comin' for you!

Fall

Leaves are falling all around
People's seasons upside down
Colors fade into the ground
Time to make the most of me

Wastin' our lives
Fallin' out of destiny

It's not enough to breathe
This air is choking me
Inhale your duty
It's time for breakin' free
Responsibility
Exhale your grief

And we're
Falling down
Trying to hold on to what we're falling from and
Without a sound
We hit the ground that sets us free

Love is kissing us goodbye
The winter's bliss and shepherd sky
Will round up angels with one eye
Never had a chance to cry

Blaming the seasons
But now it's up to you and I

Don't think that you can't fly
Until you really try
Love is our wings
You're never out of time
Reach out and touch the sky
Now we begin

And we're falling down
Breaking through clouds reflecting memories and 
We're down and out
And we can see the light from here

It's not enough to follow
You gotta lead yourself
Out of the hole you wallow
Break free, you'll see

Don't ya know it's destiny...

Star Blanket Cinema

Seems like they invited me
To fantasy
Now take a seat
Sand tickets and midnight screen
A million scenes
You've never seen
Eyes open and you'd be blind
You'd never find
The answers I've
Stay quiet you're all alone
And you wouldn't wanna wake yourself

Ooh
Drooling while the pictures pass your
Eyes
And a world of imagination comes to light

Come and see the movie
The show's free but they're only here tonight
Come morning everything's a blur
Let's all watch a picture
The future always seems so far away
At the Star Blanket Cinema

What's playin' tonight?
I know I'll be surprised
Turn down those beaming lights
So I can see the screen

Show starts at 12 don't lose your seat
They'll have fresh popcorn you can eat
Magical stories reel to reel
Might make you question what is real...
