I did what, and with whom?
Had my cake..eat it too.
Not my doing, swear I tried.
Ok forget it, no more lies.

Yeah we hooked up, it was a chance meet.
Singin' dancin', light on her feet.
Why call now, saying the things you now miss?
Eyes within say it all, when speaking in a kiss.

Had your chance, it was yours
Thing about games, there's scores.
Not my doing, you know I tried.
Try counting, the times I cried.

Yeah I hooked up, with you know whom.
She'd been waiting, knowing you.
So don't call now, saying the things you miss.
Eyes within say it all, when speaking in a kiss.
Please don't call now, saying the things you miss.
Eyes within say it all, when speaking in a kiss.

Where'd I put the barricades, that surrounded my heart?
They were here until I met her, I remember that part.
Scrambling now to learn the dance, let alone score.
So foreign. It's not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before


Eighty-six thousand seconds in any given day.
If I could sqeeze another million in, on my knees I'd pray.
Thanks to the lights that guided her, to my door.
That was a first. Not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before

Walking 'round in circles. Talking all day to myself.
If she's not in my arms. So lost. Need a lotta help.
Pick the phone up darlin'. Lemme tell you what's in store.
Our love tonight is gonna be like it's never happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before
pour your fuel on this fire
you're so hot. it's hardcore.
Our love tonight is gonna be like
it's never happened before.

Can someone enlighten me...how I'm supposed to feel?
How'd this simple stumble become a head-over-heel?
Questions like these I ask all day to myself.
Gotta guess, 'cause answers are not to be found.

Guess timing and circumstance trump desire and connection.
Guess hope and will get erased under closer inspection.
Guess dreams find no foothold, if they have no direction.
Guess reality is in conflict with my imagination.

Only a fool keeps hoping, against overwhelming odds.
That these feelings can outweigh sense. Love is lost.
So many questions I seek instruction about.
Until answered I'll just guess. Clueless like a clown.

Guess timing and circumstance trump desire and connection.
Guess hope and will get erased under closer inspection.
Guess dreams find no foothold, if they have no direction.
Guess reality is in conflict with my imagination.

But in my imagination...everything is so clear and real.
The kisses and the smiles fortify me like steel.
In my imagination, we love all day on the beach.
In my imagination, you're here... not out of reach...

Guess timing and circumstance trump desire and connection.
Guess hope and will get erased under closer inspection.
Guess dreams find no foothold, if they have no direction.
Guess reality is in conflict with my imagination.
I wish reality was in sync with my imagination...

Walking on the sand...visions return like a lost ol' friend,
Let the sun bake me. Watch the dolphins play.
Another day missing you. Why do I stay?

Feeling the waves...visions return of younger, better days.
Let the sun bake me, Hear the laughter of kids.
Another day without you, and the things we did.

Hearing the surf...visions return. I know their worth.
Let the sun bake me. The seagulls scream.
Another day kissing you, in only a dream.

Seeing the blue...visions fill me. My wife is you.
Let the sun bake me. Rip carry me away.
No more days without you. Water lead my way.

Saw a sad dog so thirsty I gave him my water.
Got a big smile today from my neighbours baby daughter.
Everything's in colour. Clarity so sharp.
This is the effect that you have on my heart.

Laughed with a stranger at the bus stop this morning.
Found a four leaf clover with the new days dawning.
Everything is possible. Nothing's too hard.
This is the effect that you have on my heart.

Amid raised voices lay the silence of the future.
The silence of fools gold is hollow. Come over (where)
Everything's so beautiful. These words I impart.
This is the effect that you have on my heart.

Broken hearts swim alone, lonely in yesterdays tears.
So swim to my island. Sand pristine. Love clear.
Everything's so ready. It's next to you. Not far.
This is the effect that you have on my heart.

on your darkest of days with your lonliest of thoughts.
when love seems to have dried up at it's source. (and)
time for others may be is a luxury you just can't afford.
remember, someone should be thinking about you.

words can be given freely yet they can cost the most.
broken hearts in their wake should hurt dare encroach.
but ah the magic certain words can bring, especially bespoke.
remember, someone might be thinking about you.

whether they be 3 streets over, or a million miles away.
someone wonders how you are, and cares enough to pray.
in time they might be there with you, smiling for your face.
today, someone is thinking of you.
