THE REASON I STAY
(Phil Bossenberger)
You’re the reason I stay
From December on, I would wait everyday
To be alive again, to breathe another breath
With you
You’re the reason I stay
‘Till I’m dead and gone,
I would take all the pain to see what I have left
To be another debt to you
It’s never worth pretending
In this never ending
I’m on fire when you say
“Don’t be long, I can’t wait”
It’s the same reason today

SELF CONTROL
(Phil Bossenberger)
With future plans fallen through
All the toughest luck chasing after you
I am buried alive watching you die
Of love you can restore, tell me nothing more
You take the self control out of me
There won’t be very much left to see
It’s safe to say that I’m to you
What the others find to be the truth
Here’s a place and a crime
Let’s do our time

LETTING GO
(Michael Grosvenor)
All of the silence, all of the anger
I still need you
All of the questions, none of the answers
I still want you
Fighting the daylight, fighting the hope that
You still love me
Fighting the tears back, surrender to heartache
You mislead me
But you’re letting go
I’m falling to pieces
You’re chasing away the truth this time
I want you to know
That I’m getting over the pieces of us for my peace of mind
All of the places, all of the days
I am still waiting
All of the moments
I’ve gone without you hesitating
Tell me it’s all right
Tell me you’re changing
I’m not bitter
Tell me you’re sorry for ever doubting that we’re okay
But you’re letting go
I’m falling to pieces
You’re chasing away the truth this time
I want you to know
That I’m getting over the pieces of us for my peace of mind
I hope that I wake up
But I’m slipping further down
Look at both sides now. Find a way somehow

TRULY MEAN IT
(Phil Bossenberger)
I have no face that I can keep a secret
While in your grace, words find meaning now in new ways
And I am speechless every time
You know why
I’ve got a problem you could fix
I’ve got a way to sort this mess
Won’t you say you’re happy if you truly mean it
I count the ways each time, feeling like the first
Forget all the rest
Only broken records now play
And I am speechless every time
You know why
I’ve got a problem you could fix
I’ve got a way to sort this mess
Won’t you say you’re happy if you truly mean it
I’ve got a thought to put to rest
I’ve got a way to sort this mess
Won’t you say you’re happy if you truly mean it
I’ve got a problem you could fix
I’ve got a way to sort this mess
I’ve got an all for nothing now if you’d let me try

ROOM FOR TWO
(Phil Bossenberger)
You’ve got a funny place in me. One that I can’t keep
But always you’ll be there catching my eye
I want to live this night again
From beginning to end
Over and over through my mind
It’s so sad when you know the ending
It’s too bad we are alone
So meet me by the shore at 2 a.m.
A place I would confide by your side
We’ll find what’s left of right, of you and I
I’ve got to know when there’s room for two
And as for us, you know what I’d do if I could
If I hadn’t stopped to think
All these nights have the same surprise
I can keep trying if I’ll never win

LESS THAN THIS
(Phil Bossenberger)
I gave you mine when you’d steal from me
It’s taken back
I can’t trace these steps to you. I’ve lost my way
If you come back down and take me, I will give in to you
No need to know what should be, I’m dying to feel for you.
Oh God, take me now, I’ll never feel less than this
Oh please show me how
I’ll never feel less than this
Was it worth your time to convince me?
Let me convince you now that
I’m all through when least of all I tried
Oh God, take me now, I’ll never feel less than this
Oh please show me how
I’ll never feel less than this
Through the dark, I’d find my way to you

On The Outside Again

ON THE OUTSIDE AGAIN
(Michael Grosvenor)
With options on the table and a feeling less than stable
I’m learning how to keep balance again
Though burdens haven’t lifted, priorities have shifted
Suitcases and hotel rooms are gone
And here I am
Mile markers changing. My frame of mind exchanging
Trip Rewards for evenings here with you
As the cold surrounds, I’m reeling
There’s a sense of warm I’m feeling
From all that we have done and yet to do
And I say don’t worry about it
Just know that I’m the same
So if you want to see the part of me that no one understands
Maybe you’ll need to be the last one standing
You know where to find me
I’m on the outside again
Run before you look down. Tomorrow you will sleep sound
As you head into the morning I’ll be near
You never know the changes and how life rearranges
But a phone call with a promise makes it clear
And I say don’t worry about it
Just know that I’m the same
So if you want to see the part of me that no one understands
Maybe you’ll need to be the last one standing
You know where to find me
I’m on the outside again

THE FEELING IS GONE
(Phil Bossenberger)
At this unfortunate time
The devil is closer to me than you are
The higher I climb
The heights I’ve been trying to reach are too far
It’s something to be old news
It’s something to feel no use
Don’t bother playing along
It gets hard when the feeling is gone
At the top of my prime
The meaning you see in me has left something to be said
A horrible crime
The heights I’ve been trying to reach are too far
It’s something to be old news
It’s something to feel no use
Don’t bother playing along
It gets hard when the feeling is gone
I’m alone with no one to be my own
What I deserve is all I’m afraid to find

SIMPLE TRUTH
(Phil Bossenberger)
Running on empty has only been running to catch up to you
This little is plenty more than you know, than you know
It’s come to be much better now
Pretend and see, anything anyone’s wanted and more
I’m better off now that I’m not away from you
It’s funny how soon I forget this simple truth
Though I know, I love the sound….
Take all best, leave all the worst
That’s not how it works
Second to last now became first
It’s come to be much better now.
Pretend and see, anything anyone’s wanted and more
I’m better off now that I’m not away from you
It’s funny how soon I forget this simple truth
Though I know, I love the sound…

FIND ME LOVE
(Phil Bossenberger)
Come back, it’s almost everything I know
The wrong tracks have somehow become my home
But I don’t get far without your light ahead
And I don’t see stars without your guiding hand
There’s no doubt in all the seeds that you sow
And there’s no drought in all the fields that grow
And I don’t go fast when I’m full speed ahead
It doesn’t last with those I won’t forget
Find me love in all that I’ve done
And you could be the one to fall apart when I go
Find me love in all that you do
And I could be to you a light, a home
And I could be to you a light, a home
Come back, it’s almost everything I know
The wrong tracks have somehow become my home
