You’re a shining ember
I’ll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won’t let you down

And I’ll always be here
Yes, I’ll always be here

(Chorus)

Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go

Let it all go
Except for me
I’m the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now

Why don’t we play hooky?
We could both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today

We don’t have to shower
You won’t wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we’ll put it all away

And we’ll always be near
We should always be near

(Chorus)

Don’t you know you’re the one for me
After all, anyone can see

[Pre-Chorus]
To tell you the truth, I can’t remember all the details
The hell I walked through, left me shirtless in the night

You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile
Just take my word, you wouldn’t think
But there’s more to my story, that you can’t dream
I could let the words just fall out while you’re listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Letting me in, leading me on Who knows where it’s coming from
One go and it’s just begun, but I, I'm closing in

[Pre-Chorus]
To tell you the truth, I can’t remember all the details
The hell I walked through, left me shirtless in the night

You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile
Just take my word, you wouldn’t think
But there’s more to my story, that you can’t dream
I could let the words just fall out while you’re listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

I wanted it so bad, more than I could really say
Nothing got in my way, oh woah, oh woah
But only you get there, you’re waiting for the shoe to drop
All I’m saying is I just couldn’t stop

[Interlude]
Let it fall out

You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile
Just take my word, you wouldn’t think
But there’s more to my story, that you can’t dream
I could let the words just fall out while you’re listening to me
Said I’ll let the words just fall out, while you’re listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

repeat 2x

So many people gonna say that they want you
To try to get you thinking they really care
But there’s nothing like the warmth of the one

Who has put in the time and you know he’s gonna be there
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it
Don’t let nobody put you down who you’re with
Take the pain of protecting your name
From the crutch to the cane to the highwire

(Chorus):
I’m in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
Cause she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I’m in love with a girl… I'm in love with
I’m in love with a girl… I'm in love with

Intro 1x

Out the many broken back doors and windows
Through the valley of the love of the lost
Is a hole that is cut to the soles
Falling down from the thrones
Without needing any windows
But you found inner peace for the moment
The moment was over in time
Then it’s gone
The hit and run
The victor’s fun has a short life

(Chorus)
Wanna tell you what you do to make you
Practice what you preach
Now I know there’s nothing we can’t reach
Cause a heart can’t erase
Once it finds a place
To be warm and welcome
To be held in shelter

(Chorus)

Enjoy!

Holding it down, she’s running the place
I got a new love, talk of the town

All of my friends are calling it fate
I got a new love, you might’ve met

[Verse 2]
You make me feel like going insane
Call me every curse you can name
Now you wanting back in the game

Think everything will come that they hope
Sorry, but the answer is no

all part of finding Our heaven

(Chorus)
Even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something’s worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love’s sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

(Verse)
My hopes (my hopes)
They only align with yours
They’re only as big as
We both aim to make them
For love
If I had a thousand lives
I’d find you a thousand times
You know I’d come back again

(Chorus)
Oh even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something’s worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love’s sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

(Bridge)
How good it could be
I knew it would be somehow
And now I know now that it is
Who could imagine
With all that’s happened
The names, the fights, the insanely long nights
And I’m standing on top of the world
Yeah
And when the dust settles
You’re standing right with me ‘cause

(Chorus)
Even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something’s worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love’s sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

From an ex who showed up falling to
Grand piano falling on the edge of the parkway

Got no good advice
Hotline called me twice
Said, “I went through the wall
Do you have a quote to lend me
Or a friend to send me?”
But I got no help at all

[Pre-Chorus]
So I loosened my lips
And let a little prayer I memorized
Do what I just wished
And suddenly, to my surprise

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time you play that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

[Verse 2]
Snatched my medicine
Light it like Edison
Turned it right up to the sky
You’re my absolutely fictional

Pure perfection
My Venetian boat ride

Blown out speakers
And worn out tweeters
And still I get the effect
If you got my go-to living

Get me in the spirit
Even if I’m a complete wreck

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you call it a flaw
Everybody needs some a peace of mind
It should be the law
To take a little private time

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time I hear that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

I want to feel like this, so hold me forever
Emotions are real like this and flow like a river
And you are the only one

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

Oh, every time I hear that sound
Engine running and I’m homeward bound
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

With the radio, with with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with the radio
With the radio on
With the radio, with with the radio

Somebody told me if I’m not careful
Well, this one’s gonna roll me
I got my hands full and this one’s gonna own me and control me
I’m so mystified
She caught the last train last night, left another note
Saying “see you next time; miss me if you don’t”
You look good in your bed; til we meet again
You went through my head and nobody told me so

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows she’s a perfect ten
And I’m hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don’t get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I’m going up, I couldn’t get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

New scene, next block
She’ll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk
Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock
And you can’t stop staring endlessly
She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts
And I know I might be swinging at a curve
I don’t mind it, though, when the lights are low
She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody knows she’s a perfect ten
And I’m hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don’t get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I’m going up, I couldn’t get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

But I don’t know if I’m chasing ghosts
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
Again and again, I was lucky just to find her
But I don’t know if I’m chasing ghosts
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
Again and again, I was lucky

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows she’s a perfect ten
And I’m hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don’t get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I’m going up, I couldn’t get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire
I’m going up, I couldn’t get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire
