CJ

Girl you know its time
Collect your favorite novels
Walk into the sun's heat
Let the ocean wash away your endless troubles

The sand on our feet feels warm and alive
To feel it is our birth right
You need to let go
And show the thousand different versions of yourself
I wouldn't miss one ounce of your glow

Let the rhythmic waves talk you into dancing
Spinning around in perfect bronze skinned ragged form
Your smile heats my blood
I can see now and I knew I was right
You are so very full of life

You an Aussie fallen for a Yank like me
And I feel the same and that's plain to see
As sure as I breathe tonight
I will never let you go
I will hold you tight

We collect drift wood and pile it high
With your friends with funny accents
We set the old wood alight
Let's get off our heads
And surrender our laughter to this Australian night

Girl I am here
There's no need to whisper no one is standing near
Fallen for you I have, I say it out loud
I brush your blond hair aside
Gently kissing your foreign mouth

I can't remember when
I know there's never been a more beautiful night
Ocean air, sun and sand
And my CJ holding my hand
Pulling me tight

You're Not Alone

You know this place
You know it good
We've been here before
Your life feels like its on loop
And you're a room
Without a door

Please get off the floor
You know, out there
There is so much more
I know it hurts
And it grows
But you're not alone

Trouble has come
Its what we've come to know
It stays with us
And with every step
You feel old
I'm still your friend you know

If you answer me at last
And for once step out from your past
I could save you from this
The future is not cast

You're not alone

For Something

There's this heavy
Feeling that I carry
And I'm spinning
You play like a magician
I need an antidote
So I'll fit in

Floating
Loathing
Enough
I need to be released

Its the more, not the less
What you say
What you do
I need more than a shot
To get me through
Guess we're all born to buy into something
God give me more to feel

Its a big feat
To forget you
Because you sleep
In my memory
You said you loved me
So I fell in

Floating
Loathing
Enough
I need to be released

Its more than your life
Its what you say
Its what you do
Born into this life for something
And I need more to feel

A Moment With You

Had I owned a keener mind
I would have asked to keep your smile
Just to be mine
In the quiet of the night

Your voice would be the sound
To keep me coming round
It would pick me up
And make me dream out loud

With you its never long
Until my blues are gone
Hazel eyes are beckoning
They lead me on

What a perfect night
I'll be to your house
Soon I'll drop by
In moon light perfected you'll be
As we drive by streets we've never seen

Somewhere quiet
That's where we are going
No matter where we've been
Just as long as I'm here with you
There is no place I'd rather be

Such a perfect night
You're with me
We feel alive
This time its just you and I
With your dimples and hazel eyes

Getting to know each other
Standing next to a neon fire
Your fingers entwined
Between each one of mine
We don't recognize which are yours
And which are mine
We just know
That we're alone

Standing with shadows forming shelter
I've always loved your name Heather
Your brown hair on my shoulder
Promise to be mine forever
I'll never let you down

Its late now
We know we've got to go home
Leave behind
Such a quiet night
Lived and loved
Only by you and I

I'll be sure to call
Can you hear me for you fall
I'll be here all day
You know you'll always
Be my favorite joy
