Macrocosm 04:13
Sunshine brightens the moonlight It came just in time I'm glad that you're mine Waves crash just like how times pass You let me know Don't let me go Earthland, stuck in the quicksand A lifetime of shame I'm glad that you came Wind blows stronger than we'll know Floating away I hope that you stay Moonbeams flow through my bloodstream Sailing through space Far from this place

Would you listen to me if I told you That I was always afraid? Would you happen to be there with me If I felt alone and betrayed? And now that we're looking back from the future I'd like an answer from you And darling don't work around it too much because All I want is the truth Could you tell me why girl, why You're killing me on your own? Could you tell me why girl, why You're acting like you've never known? And maybe I can be happier now Without you holding me down I didn't know that I needed you then And you turned me right back around I know that it's right for me to say That I didn't have to change just for you Glad I could figure out and see Why I didn't want to be there for you Could you tell me why girl, why You're not standing here by my side? And instead of living I was not even alive Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, da da daa Could you tell me why girl, why You're not standing here by my side Woah, I was alone, girl Could you tell me why girl, why You're not standing here by my side? I was alone, girl

U.S.A. 02:12
I've never been here before This place I don't even know Lordy, where did I go? Where did I go? I came to California About 20 years ago today Woulda never thought I'd stay here In good ol' U.S.A. And my Momma, she's against it I tell her she don't understand Why all the gold and diamonds Could never make me leave my land And now I'm stuck in this place And I don't know a face It's a wild goose chase in here In here My neighbor grows his own potatoes And dear Sally's working at the zoo Ain't a thing that could go wrong here And baby that's the truth Catch me cruisin' all across the highway In the hottest piece of muscle around And all my friends will be there Darlin', I won't let you down Now I seen a show on Broadway And gone huntin' all around the West I've climbed the Rocky Mountains And I'm on to do the rest And my mom, she's still against it She'll never change her mind a single way (no she won't) 'Bout how I learned to love to live in The U.S.A., yeah the U.S.A. Yeah the U.S.A, yeah the U.S.A.

When it rained outside last summer I thought of you Every sideways conversation And memory too Maybe someday we'll be together I'd like to pretend Rearrange the time so we can Start over again So know No matter where you go You won't be alone You can call on me I'll be there Through all the time spent arguing I'd never thought I'd stay but I'll be there And even though the seasons change Through every passing evening I'll be there, I'll be there Why it rains outside in summer I don't understand At least loving you completely Is in my command I play over in my mind now What you think of me Only time will give me an answer I'll just wait and see So know No matter where you go You won't be alone You can call on me I'll be there I've told you 'bout a thousand times So try to understand that I'll be there And maybe we'll come close to love It's not too far away so I'll be there I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Destiny 02:32
I never knew you but I've seen you before I got so lucky when you walked through the door My heart was racing I was shivering down to my core We ran off I showed you places that were special to me You made it clear what a man ought to be I'm talkin' senseless and I'm under your spell And they love's a mystery Baby, trouble'll be looking for us Tonight, you'll probably be thinkin' 'bout the Last time, that anyone ever made you Feel so alive You know I Need you, to open my eyes to something Brand new, and give it a try for me to Break through, and pray to the skies 'Cause it's your love that brings me home to you When I first saw you I had nothing to say You saw me shakin' and you came right away And then you told me to remember today Because, "Our lives will never be the same" So let me show you what my lovin' can do You're talkin' crazy I guess I do it too I'll never settle and you know that it's true Until my heart is one with you You know I Need you, to open my eyes to something Brand new, and give it a try for me to Break through, and pray to the skies 'Cause it's your love that brings me home to Yoohoo, you're driving me crazy baby And God knows, my memory's hazy but I'm Still sure, I know when I crave you 'Cause to me, you're one to keep To her Beauty never came right away She needed time to just get away To come back again someday And I Knew the kind of woman you'd be It's black and white and easy to see Could it be Destiny? Oh yeah Baby, trouble'll be lookin' for us Tonight, you'll probably be thinkin' 'bout the Last time, that anyone ever made you feel so alive You know I Need you, to open my eyes to something Brand new, and give it a try for us to Break through, and pray to the skies 'Cause my love is only just For you From me For you From me
