The Sound of Your Name I gotta date with the City and I can’t be late But I’m busy making love to the sound of your name Every letter comes together to reverberate Feel my heart start to tremble and my body shake Chorus: Feel my body shake, feel my body shake Getting lost making love to the sound of your name While hiding from the light behind the window shade Tune out the noise of the city as it calls out my name With its decrepit crumbling concrete facade Feel my heart start to tremble and my body shake Chorus x2 Every letter comes together to reverberate Hear your laughter in the chatter as it fades away I stumble from the lobby and fall on my face Feel the heat on my cheek from the street set ablaze I’d trade all the City’s nightlife just to feel your grace Feel my heart start to tremble and my body shake Chorus x4

What Will the Day Bring When you wake up and you wonder What will the day bring When you wake up and you wonder With my hopes and dreams ever be Reality or are they just distant fantasies? Chorus: I’ll be true, will I be true to you? Will you, will you be true to me? When I wake up, I wonder what you wonder Will today bring you closer to me? When I go outside I stumble over the concrete When I go outside I wonder About where I am and where I’ll be And wouldn’t it be nice to be with you Chorus What will the day bring me? What will the day bring you? See the light outside Breath the morning air Chorus

Visions Haunt and Tease Shades and scenes of memories Visions haunt and tease Lie alone awake at night Unable to forgive Yourself for some mistake you made You see yourself in other’s words I see you in the love you give Visions Haunt and tease Sitting in a subway car Your thoughts are far away Reflecting on the love you lost Fly to outer space Lifting off above the sky Reach out just to touch the moon Id’ wish you’d stay on earth with me Visions haunt and tease Chorus: Cry out into space to the one you love Vast and empty, not there to respond Do you hear my call? Do you feel my love? Shades of shadows pave the streets As I walk alone Wishing on a bright full moon That you’d find your love In the space between these words Where I’m forced to take a pause To feel you in the love you give Visions haunt and tease Chorus

Got Your Back I wanna make you smile for just one reason Just to feel the joy of lifting your spirits I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back I want to see you happy, see your dreams come true See you soar right over the big bright moon I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back Look up and feel my smile show, seeing you soar Well you’re sweet and subtle and some kind of special When our eyes meet I can feel my heart stumble I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back Well you taunt and tease and you smile when you say “don’t make me wait too long,” with your endless beauty I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back Well I just thought that you should know, you’re making my heart soar Working hours in the sun, I roll my eyes, you stick out your tongue I make a scene, let loose from my feet Roll around on the street, just to get you to see I’m a fool, Stumbling like a buffoon Wishing on the stars and the moon, for you Well I’m plenty pretty and I’m pretty playful But all jokes aside, I just gotta tell you I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back Just that I got your back

Daisies We were picking daisies underneath the soft bright warm glow of your elegant bass line We were picking daisies, we were picking daisies
