THIS CLOSE
Whenever something got this close to me
I would always run away
But now I realize how far you are
I see things in a different way
But it's alright now, yeah it's alright now
Oh it’s alright now, yeah it's alright now
The space between us was a step away
Crossing it was my own choice
Now I see you are so far away
I can hardly hear your voice
Are you alright now, yeah I’m alright now
Hope you’re alright now, yeah I’m alright now
I tread water in an endless sea,
An endless sky up above
Don’t know why I feel so free
Is this how it feels to feel love?
I will never take for granted now
Can be taken away
I used to be wrapped up with you, my love
Warm and safe until the morn
Are you alright now, are we alright now
Could we be alright now, ‘cos I’m alright now

I JUST WANNA WAKE UP
Sometimes I chase shadows and life is an empty hand
Sometimes I wanna drown myself or hide my head in the sand
I struggled all my life for what I think I need
But happiness eludes me with every pointless deed
Sometimes I think money or sex is what’s gonna set me free
Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between real life and TV
Sometimes I drink so deep, so deep of my daily fear
When I look into the mirror, I swear I’m hardly even there
But I still have hope that someday
Someone else’s beauty
Will turn and see me there, see that I, I need air
And feel beyond their duty
For the last time in my life
Beyond each hope, beyond each vow,
She will reach out and hold me
While I’m still here and it’s still now
While I’m still here and it’s still now
Some people think I’m crazy, some people turn away
Some people just don’t wanna hear it but I’m gonna sing it anyway
I just want to wake up.
I just want to wake up.
I just want to wake up.
