Gavin DeGraw Album

(G. DeGraw)

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon ohhhh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rised
It puts over me

Chorus:
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your…
Strength

Remember seeking moons of birth
Rings made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
It is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
City filled with burden
Cover me
From bringing back
More than a memory

Chorus

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spend my under flights

Chorus

(G. DeGraw)

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl your body fits me like a glove
And you shower me with words of love
And you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
It's not my style to lay it in on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you
When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
You were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
I believe you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway

Here at the party
everone's happy
Everyone's high
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is pass the jount
I think I like you
But you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling
So fresh and so clean
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to get the point
You think your name is pass the joint
You're still too amazing to ignore
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always tring something new
And then when you can't hold up
They're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
I'm juse too drunk to make my point
But you think your name is pass the joint
You think your name is...

Belief makes things real
Makes things feel, feel alright
Belief makes things true
things like you, you and I

(chorus)
Tonight you rest in my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a God
Oh you stood by me

Belief builds from scratch
Doesn't have to relax
It doesn't need space
Long live the Queen
And I'll be the King
In the colour of grace

(chorus)
Oh tonight you rest in my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife in the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a God
Oh you stood by me, Belief

I'm gonna yell it from the roof tops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do, its the least I can do

(Chorus)

And I'll stand by mine, belief
oh I'll stand by mine, belief

Well my past came in
You dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishin I'd break down your walls
A kiss will know if flips things still

There is a line I cross
There when you missed, a loss
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again

My deal, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush
I gotta crush

I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that senses are your friend
My senses say that I should tell
…You that I'm not ashamed
you might just feel the same

but you have to try it
if you're ever really gonna know
my deal, ill wait for the steal
maybe it was rushed
oh, my crush
I gotta crush

I want to
I need to
I have to
I need you…so much
It's your touch
Girl you're too much and I cant control it
You got me all over the road

My deal
Ill wait for the steal
Maybe it was rough
Oh, my crush
Damage in my soul
You blew me up but I don't mind
I just can't get in time

So do you x3
Oh, my crush…

I don’t need to be anything other than a prison guard’s son
I don’t need to be anything other than a specialist’s son
I don’t have to be anyone other than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I’m going is knowing where I’m coming from

(Chorus)
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me

I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can’t be the only one who’s learned

(Chorus)
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone’s attention please
If you're not like this and that
You’re gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I’m telling everybody

(Chorus)
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I'd be somebody
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be

Hail to the light, that by baby's watchin' me.
In the darkness of the window,
I can hardley get to sleep.
Wish for the hour, that the nightime soon shall pass.
And the moon do bring us,
to a day our souls can last.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love (yeah)

Situation: candle light,
enough to see the bits around you,
but its never very bright.
Stare at a memory,
you through the grapevine heard the truth.
It's good to learn from your mistakes,
but that only works in youth.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love

Restless minds, curtain calls, follow fanfares.
Toubled hearts, just a walk down the hall.
Restless hearts you take a pun, just to laugh one.
Toubled minds, it's only fair after all.
Mountin' the trail, but you got it in sight.
Somtimes the only way is jumpin' I hope your not afraid of heights.
Reach in my pocket, for a bill that isn't there,
To face all of the un-doings, is to visit more than I can bare.

Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love (Yeah)
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
before I see you again
What can I say to convince you to change your mind?..Don't leave

chorus:
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body be free, I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes
What do you see
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me your need and I will try
I will try

chorus

Free for you whenever you need
We'll be free together baby, free together baby

chorus

Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better
Oh I feel good
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
You speak kind
Oh if you were mine
What would we be like
We would be liked
We would be
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you it's all for you
Everything else would be overrated
Everything else would be overrated
Open up
Let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like
I will be enough
I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be overrated
Baby it's for you
Baby it's for you
Baby it's for you it's all for you
