Whatever it is between you and me It's an emotional gravity No matter where my mind wanders It always lands on you How do you captivate me? You're so much more than good memories You are Mercury, my past You are the sun, my future And there's only emptiness between I'm on a journey to a star so bright It illuminates the moon Though I'm so far so long I am so near so soon I'm on a journey to a star so bright All the others disappear Though I'm so far so gone I am so soon so near How do you captivate me? You're so much more than good memories You are Mercury, my past You are the sun, my future And there's only emptiness between But you're pulling me close with your gravity It's the 3-2 of the countdown The start of the end of the prequel The last few words of the prologue The journey is nearing its end The adventure's about to begin

I'm turning you on But you're shutting me down And I must admit I had my doubts You'd been acting kinda strange It was driving me crazy But my life feels so empty Without you baby I've been crying Because I want you back But I can't afford make it work And I'd be lying If I told you I could possibly Describe what you're worth All the things You did for me Made me far more impressed with you Than I ever thought I'd be I can't live without you Now you may think That I'm out of my mind But I can't live without you

I look into your eyes And I see Just how precious life can be Believe me when I say You're a blessing Words cannot express How brave You prove to be everyday You're more than worth fighting for You're an inspiration Sometimes it slips my mind That I can only live one day at a time How can I help someone today? I'm fine and it's not a crime To help somebody who's got different problems than mine So what do I have that I can give away? When I'm gone I don't just want to be remembered For the life I lived I want to be remembered For the life I gave I won't walk away Holding on to what I have to give away I won't walk away Holding on to what I have to give away today When I look into your eyes I see Just how precious life can be Believe me when I say You're a blessing Words cannot express How brave You prove to be everyday You're more than worth fighting for You're an inspiration When I'm gone I don't just want to be remembered For the life I lived I want to be remembered For the life I gave

At the end of winter When the trees are at their weakest If the wind blows We can't stop it When the wind blows It's mass destruction The ground shakes and trembles As the branches strike the road We have lost control We could lose it all We may drown in endless rivers Or the wind could smash it all Will we reach higher ground? And if we do can gravity keep us down? These mid-March showers Bring life and death the same Taking strength and life from trees Giving birth to brand new leaves all over town The ground shakes and trembles As the branches strike the road We have lost control We could lose it all We may drown in endless rivers Or the wind could smash it all Will we reach higher ground? And if we do can gravity keep us down? These winds they howl and roar More fearful than any living thing 'Cause they could crush me And they have no mercy Please have mercy on me April showers will bring May flowers But Mid-March showers Destroyed the town

He walked He rode He hitched He stowed He graciously accepted He tried He feared He persevered He did all that he could And here he stands Was it all enough? Brave the waters boy You've got the world inside your hands You gotta tick tick tick tick take it all And make it what you want Formulate yourself You and the world won't care when you lose your life If you tick tick tick tick waste it all So break the cycle He works He cares He grins and bears He moves however slowly He tries He fears He perseveres He's doing all he can And here he stands Hoping it's enough Brave the waters boy You've got the world inside your hands You gotta tick tick tick tick take it all And make it what you want Formulate yourself You and the world won't care when you lose your life If you tick tick tick tick waste it all So break the cycle Though it hurts and at times you might fall If you can't walk sometimes you must crawl A new chapter in life has begun You've finally accepted your childhood is done As the pages of life do turn You will think, you will grow, you will learn But don't sit through your life 'cause it's tough It's time you accept it's still time to grow up
6.
You've been waiting in the snow But I'd never have thought to look up To find you as you're softly falling around The curse of what we don't know And a gross lack of sense Is what froze me in my tracks Though it hasn't quite been cold enough for that Our hearts still beat a song We lose track of the rhythm But slowly sway along We'll synchronize We're keeping time I've been expecting snow I'd never have thought I'd look up And smile as it's softly falling all around The beauty of the unknown And count it as bliss You froze me in my tracks Though our love is far too warm for that Every bit of love Every thought and raw reaction is a snowflake Never the same shape But when my eyes get fixed on yours I know precisely which flakes I want to cover me Sent by heaven's purity from you To this tapestry of broken things I hope these words And poorly crafted metaphors Can speak some truth to you So you'll see what you do to me It's the first snow of the winter Though I'm warmer than I've been for quite some time
