I grew up in the rain Dreamin of the far away Of big cities where no one knows my (A) name I walked down the streets Faces blinded me And no one knew where I should be I had a map on my bedroom wall Of everywhere I would one day go I wanna live somewhere tropical But oh I love the snow Been so many places, but I think I found the one Falling in love with the town of the endless sun The air is sweeter here Where the sea meets the sky Wild hearts can run And dreams can fly Your soul starts to sing here And everything makes you smile Not yet do I want to leave I will stay awhile Boil me a pot of tea Take off my shoes would you please Cuz I will be here til the end I walk down the streets See the faces I’ll meet One day I will call them friends I can’t believe I found somewhere As beautiful as here Stay with me forever Hold me close my dear Been so many places, but I think I found the one Falling in love with the town of the endless sun The air is sweeter here Where the sea meets the sky Wild hearts can run And dreams can fly Your soul starts to sing here And everything makes you smile Not yet do I want to leave I will stay awhile This is a dreamland, I’m never leaving, I’m never leaving Been so many places, but I think I found the one Falling in love with the town of the endless sun The air is sweeter here Where the sea meets the sky Wild hearts can run And dreams can fly Your soul starts to sing here And everything makes you smile Not yet do I want to leave I will stay awhile

V: He takes a lap around the room making kind hellos Some are friends and some are people he barely knows His eyes meet mine, he smiles wide and I can hardly breathe He returns and I have gone, it’s a game of hide and seek Ch: I’m chasing a butterfly, a busy guy, but I can’t keep him off my mind He’s got things to do, he can’t hold my hand and he’ll never be where I am Oh but the way he looks at me, I’m in his ecstasy Oh but the way he looks at me, I would chase him for eternity V: I watch him as he watches me, moving through the crowd Ten more people to see, he cannot slow down Whispers in my ear, he says, you’ll be mine one day There’s a time that I won’t be so far away Ch: I’m chasing a butterfly, a busy guy, but I can’t keep him off my mind He’s got things to do, he can’t hold my hand and he’ll never be where I am Oh but the way he looks at me, I’m in his ecstasy Oh but the way he looks at me, I will chase him for eternity Br: But will he ever be in my sky or will he always be a busy guy

Lying Here 04:46
V: Woke up with foreign arms around me, I was so alarmed Didn’t return his longing glare, but I couldn’t move to go somewhere (So I lied there thinking of you) x2 V2: Of your brown eyes and they way the shine, telling me you’re all mine Nobody holds me the way you do, but baby you can hurt me too Because angry mouths don’t know any better. And promises can’t keep us together Ch: It’s not time to give up yet Without your love I’m so confused Come get me from this stranger’s bed (Because I’m lyin here thinking of you) x2 V: It’s only been three nights but it feels like another life Hard to feel okay when I’m next to another name (So I lied there thinking of you) x2 V2: In my mind it’s you I see, but you’re not the one next to me Silly games we play, mess with our minds with the words we say Because angry mouths don’t know any better. And promises can’t keep us together Ch: It’s not time to give up yet Without your love I’m so confused Come get me from this stranger’s bed (Because I’m lyin here thinking of you) x2 Br: (Can’t he tell that I’m lyin He doesn’t know who I am) x2 Can’t he tell that I’m lyin here thinking of you
