What Time Is It There?

Verse 1
What time is it there?
Over here it's the evening
Soon I will be going to bed
With thoughts of you in my head
My life with you is what I yearn for
Being alone is such a bore
I know I shouldn't be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 2
What time is it there?
Over here it's the middle of the night
It's hard for me to fall asleep
When I think of you every second
I miss you more than you will ever know
I need you right now
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 3
What time is it there?
Over here it's the morning
I have to get up and go to work
Even though I don't want to
I know that you are safe where you are
But you don't know how I'm feeling
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 4
What time is it there?
Over here it's the afternoon
Soon I will be going home
Even though I don't want to
Memories are all I have of you
When I think of them, I begin to cry
I know I should be patient
It's a virtue, that's what I'm told

Verse 5
What time is it there?
Over here it's the evening
Soon I will be going to bed
With thoughts of you in my head
If I fall asleep tonight
I will be dreaming of you
You don't know how much I love you
When you come back, I will show you

If You Don't Think I Love You

Verse 1
No one could ever replace you in my heart
Like it or not, you are stuck with me
Every moment we share is always remembered
You are the only one I'll ever need

Verse 2
I give myself to you entirely and forever
Knowing that you will do the same
Whatever happens to you affects me as well
You are the only one I'll ever want

Bridge
Your passion, your charisma
Is what I like about you
I care about you even when we're not on good terms
I completely trust you in every sense of the word
More importantly, I love you

Chorus 1
If you don't think I love you
Then think again
You should know that you mean everything to me
I will always feel this way
There is nothing that could change my mind
Because I love you

Chorus 2
If you don't think I love you
Then think again
You should know that you mean everything to me
I will always feel this way
There is nothing that could change my mind

Chorus 3
If you don't think I love you
Then think again
You should know that you mean everything to me
I will always feel this way
There is nothing that could change my mind
Because I love you
You are my friend, you are my lover
You will always be my life
Wherever you are is where I want to be
You make me cry, you make me laugh
I wouldn't change anything about you
I like you just the way you are
And I love you for loving me

Rumours of Rain

Verse 1
There have been rumours of rain
Each time I hear them it causes pain
I heard similar reports last year
Since then, I have not been the same
I lost myself and everything I knew about me
I'm still desperately searching
My future hinges on me reconnecting with the person I once was
At any time they say the rain will fall again

Verse 2
The weatherman frequently updates us on the impending storm
But there is only so much we can do
We simply don't have the power to turn this thing around
I lost myself and everything I knew about me
I am still desperately searching
My future hinges on me reconnecting with the person that I once was
At any time they say we must be prepared

Bridge
I'm feeling the same feeling that I did last year
When I was ripped away from myself
I swore to get my life back
No matter what the coast was
And now this may be the moment I've been hoping for
I have the chance to be me again

Chorus 1
Rumours of rain are the talk of the town
I already feel like I'm swimming in a sea of emotions
I'm struggling against the current
I'm trying to hold onto delicate objects within my grasp
The water is slowly rising and I'm that much closer
To finding who I was and losing what is left of me
This is the fight of my life, this is the ultimate test
I will either win or lose once again

Chorus 2
Rumours of rain are the talk of the town
I already feel like I'm drowning in a sea of emotions
I'm struggling against the current
I'm trying to hold onto delicate objects within my grasp
The water is slowly rising and I'm that much closer
To finding who I was and losing what is left of me
This is the fight of my life, this is the ultimate test
I will either win or lose once again

The Perfect Boy

Verse 1
He is smart and he is brave
He is popular and well-liked
He is tall and he is strong
He is creative and very proud

Verse 2
He never gets into trouble
He has always been on the honour roll
He even has his own car
And a home theatre in his bedroom

Bridge 1
He showcases many of his talents
He is the most gifted student in his class
Many girls want to be his girlfriend
And many guys want to be his best friend
His teachers compliment him on his successes
His parents shower him with love and affection
He feels like the luckiest boy in the whole world

Bridge 2
He considers himself to be an average kid
But nothing about him is average to us

Chorus
The perfect boy has everything
That he could ever want
The perfect boy has everything
That he could ever need

Tease

Verse 1
We meet for the first time
And there is an instant connection
I can't look away from you
If I do, I might lose you
You are definitely something else
And I want to get to know more of you

Verse 2
You know that I am attracted to you
I watch all of your moves
Sometimes you dance in front of me
Knowing that you'll get my attention
The look in your eyes is a come hither look
Sometimes you turn me away

Bridge
You approach me and whisper softly into my ear
You tell me that you want me
That you want everything I have to give
Then you walk away from me
Like nothing ever happened

Chorus 1
You are such a tease - oh, baby please
Don't keep your love away from me
You are a tease - oh, baby please
Wrap me in hugs and kisses

Chorus 2
You are such a tease - oh, baby please
Fill me up with anything you can offer
You are a tease - oh, baby please
Sting me with your love

Below The Belt

Verse 1
She's like a cheetah in the jungle
Searching for her next prey
She observes her target
She moves in closer to attack
Eats her victim alive
That is the way she operates
I know her all too well
She did exactly the same thing to me
I became one of her victims

Bridge 1
When I met her, she seemed like a good woman
Little did I know that she was planning to destroy me
She cut me into pieces, played with my emotions

Verse 2
There were no sings indicating
That she had ulterior motives
At the beginning, time with her was the best I ever had
Then all of a sudden, without any warning
She morphed into a ball-breaker
And sliced me down to size
After that happened, I didn't know what to think
I was lost for words
She wounded me
I even have the scars to prove it

Bridge 2
When I met her, she seemed like a good woman
Little did I know that she was planning to destroy me
She yanked me around, uprooted me from my stable life

Chorus
She always hits below the belt
And that's what she'll do if you're with her
She will entice you into her world
Then rip your heart to shreds

Run That By Me One More Time

Verse 1
He said that him and I can no longer be friends
Even though we have been for many years
He's like a brother to me, part of my family
He was the person I felt closest to
Now he thinks I have been messin' with his girl
Playing him for a fool, going behind his back
I don't know where the hell he's getting that from
I have always been loyal and respectful towards him

Verse 2
He said that I was the one
Who stabbed him in the back
Even when I did no such thing
I could never hurt my friend like that
Now I'm told to get out of his sight

Bridge
All the words he said are locked inside my head
They're replaying themselves like a broken record
My character was attacked, my heart was broken
How can I even move on with my life feeling this way?

Chorus 1
I just could not believe what he told me today
He said he never wanted to see me
He told me to stay away
After everything we've been through
How could he stand there and say
That I lied, stole, and cheated him even when I did not
Run that by me one more time
I am really confused

Chorus 2
I just could not believe what he told me today
He said he never wanted to see me
He told me to stay away
After everything we've been through
How could he stand there and say
That I lied, stole, and cheated him even when I did not
Run that by me one more time
I am really confused
Run that by me one more time
I simply don't understand

Deep In Hot Water

Verse 1
I am deep in hot water
I am in big trouble
I made a mistake, I made an error
Would it make a difference if I paid a fine?
I will not run away from this problem I created
Doing that only makes it much worse
Facing the music is what I must do now

Verse 2
Nobody I know enjoys punishment
But there comes a time when we all experience it
I made a mistake, I made an error
I now realize what I have done wrong
And I will make sure to never do it again

Verse 3
Would it make a difference if I apologized?
Would it make a difference if I paid a fine?

Bridge
I'm really nervous
I don't know what's going to happen next
I only hope that this ordeal of mine soon ends
The anticipation is killing me inside
I just want to get this thing over with
I can't take it anymore
Just hand me my punishment
Taking responsibility for my actions is what I'm doing

Chorus 1
I made one too many bad decisions
And because of that, I am deep in hot water

Chorus 2
I made one too many bad decisions
And because of that, I am deep in hot water
I lied one too many times
And because of that I am deep in hot water

Gratitude

Verse 1
For all the sights you have shown me
For all the things you have taught me
For all the love you have given to me
I thank you
For all the time you have spent with me
For all the special moments we have shared
For all the advice you have given to me
I thank you

Verse 2
For al the conversations we've had
For all the successes we've celebrated
For all the ways you have forgiven me
I thank you
For all the values you have instilled in me
For all the times you have made me laugh
For all the joy you brought into my life
I thank you

Bridge
So much has been given to me
I have never been in need
I try not to take anything for granted
Knowing that I have been blessed
Sometimes I don't feel worthy
Of some of the things that I have
I am grateful for this life of mine
And I will always cherish it

Chorus
Words cannot express how I truly feel about you
You cared for me, you loved me
You were there when I needed you the most
I could never imagine my life without you
I am who I am today - the man I've always wanted to be
And because of that I am always grateful

While I Was Gone

Verse 1
While I was gone
What did you do without me?
When you went to bed
Did you cry yourself to sleep?
And when you woke up
Did you not want to get out of bed?
When you were at work
Did you find it hard not to think of me?
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt

Verse 2
While I was gone
What did you do without me?
When it was time for dinner
Did you not want to eat?
And when you were relaxing
Did you want to work instead?
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt

Bridge 1
Did I create an empty void in your life?
Did you feel lonely at any time?
Were you ever bored during the weekends?
Tell me how you felt when I wasn't with you

Bridge 2
Did you miss me very much?
Tell me how you felt when I wasn't with you

Chorus 1
While I was gone
Did you long to have me by your side
Or did you not care at all?

Chorus 2
While I was gone
Did you long to have me by your side
Or did you not care at all?
Did you forget about me?
