Trading Yesterday Album

If I could change the currents of our lives
To make the river flow where it's run dry
To be a prodigal of father time
Then I would see you tonight

If I could find the years that went away
Destroying all the cruelty of fate
I must believe that love could find a way
Tonight

Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I'll wait for love's sake
One day to me, love

If I could see beyond the here and now
If you could hear me calling you somehow
If I could know that love is reaching out
To find you with me tonight

Then hope could make these promises come true
Beyond what I could say, what love can do
With every moment leading me to you tonight

Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I'll wait for love's sake
One day to me, love

I will stay forever here to wait for your love

If I could change the currents of our lives
To make the river flow where it's run dry
To be a prodigal of father time
Then I would see you tonight

Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I'll wait for love's sake
One day to me, love

Lonely finds me
One day you will come
But I'll wait for love's sake
One day to me, love
One day to me, love
One day to me, love

I will stay forever here to wait for your love

Watch your step, love is broken
I am every tear you cry
Save your breath, your heart has spoken
You already have my life

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me
Taking the dreams that made me up
And tearing them away
But the same love will take this heart that's barely beating
And fill it with hope beyond the stars
Only love

Another day, another sunrise
Washing over everything
In its time, love will be mine
The beauty and the tragedy

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me
Taking the dreams that made me up
And tearing them away
But the same love will take this heart that's barely beating
And fill it with hope beyond the stars
Only love
Only love, love, love

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me

Welcome to a new beginning
Welcome to a brand new side of me
This will be the life I'm meant to lead
More than just a midlife crisis
This will be a lighthouse in my soul
Taking me to what the future holds

I am not confined to steady ground
For fear of falling, I will fly

So I will live my life
Knowing I've got just one chance to make it right
Hope will be on my side this time
To live what I am dreaming of

Tear away my fall back option
Take away the safety net below
I'm taking my chances as I go
Life is more than just survival
Love will be the thing that sets me free
Just a little faith is all I need

I am not inclined to give up now
The sky is calling, I will fly

So I will live my life
Knowing I've got just one chance to make it right
Hope will be on my side this time
And I will spend my days
Knowing that the love I give won't go away
I will not stand and wait for life to come
I will live what I am dreaming of
I will not let failure hold me down
I am not afraid of learning from what comes around

So I will live my life
Knowing I've got just one chance to make it right
Hope will be on my side this time
And I will spend my days
Knowing that the love I give won't go away
I will not stand and wait for life to come
I will live what I am dreaming of
I will live what I am dreaming of

A perfect day is everyday I'm spending my life with you
I can't explain how I fall in love with everything that you do
God sure must like me more than I ever knew
Cause I could never ask for more from love and life than you

Cause I'm lost in the grace of your smile
To fall in your love is a place I could spend my life
I know we could take on the world; just you and me, girl
With nothing but love

And seeing you is seeing how you're making my life so complete
And knowing you will share all your joy and pain and laughter with me
God sure must like me more than I ever knew
Cause I could never ask for more from love and life than you

Cause I'm lost in the grace of your smile
To fall in your love is a place I could spend my life
I know we could take on the world; just you and me, girl
With nothing but love

And if the sky would fall down and crash into the sea
I know that I will still have you, baby, and you will still have me
And that's all we'll need

Cause I'm lost in the grace of your smile
To fall in your love is a place I could spend my life
Cause I'm lost in the grace of your smile
To fall in your love is a place I could spend my life
I know we could take on the world; just you and me, girl
With nothing but love
With nothing but love

If all the flowers faded away
And if all the storm clouds decided to stay
Then you would find me each hour the same
She is tomorrow and I am today

And if right is leaving I'd rather be wrong
She is the sunlight and the sun is gone

If loving her is a heartache for me
And if holding her means that I have to bleed
Then I am the martyr and love is to blame
She is the healing and I am the pain
She lives in a daydream where I don't belong
She is the sunlight and the sun is gone

And if right is leaving I'd rather be wrong
She is the sunlight and the sun is gone
She is the sunlight and the sun is gone

Wait, waiting for a sign, crying to the sky
For love to come around so hope won't let me down
Shadows carry on, the light is all but gone
Your promise calls to me, a love so rescue me

There is a hope beyond this night
There is a Savior in the sky
Giving His life to set this world on fire

Here, before the flames begin, may passion burn within
Our anthem as we wait, for love to save the day

There is a hope beyond this night
There is a Savior in the sky
Giving his life to set this world on fire

So as the darkness closes in
Know that the sun will shine again
Bringing salvation to a world on fire

As our king you will bring, Your truth, to guide and keep us
All of hell, can not prevail against Your love

May Your light (waiting for a sign)
Take my life (crying to the sky)
Set my heart (for love to come around)
On fire (so hope won't let me down)

There is a hope beyond this life (May Your light)
There is a Savior in the sky (Take my life)
Giving his life to set this world on fire (Set my heart on fire)

So as the darkness closes in
Know that the sun will shine again
Bringing salvation to a world on fire

Emily will find a better place to fall asleep
She belongs to fairy tales that I could never be
The future haunts with memories that I could never have
And hope is just a stranger wondering how it got so bad

I die each time you look away
My heart, my life will never be the same
This love will take my everything
One breath, one touch will be the end of me

You could be the final straw that brings me back to earth
Ever-waiting airports full of the love that you deserve
Wishing I could find a way to wash away the past
Knowing that my heart
Will break, but at least the pain will last

I die each time you look away
My heart, my life will never be the same
This love will take my everything
One breath, one touch will be the end of me

Emily will find a better place to fall asleep
Maybe she will save me in the oceans of her dream
And maybe someday love
Maybe someday love
Maybe someday love

Standing alone with my heart in your hands
Longing to just breathe you in
You traded our love for a life of desert lands
Giving yourself away again

But I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You hold my heart, you have my love
You are my bride

Without a goodbye a passion of lies
Steals you away
The thirst of desire is drawing you in
But the memories of white, the garden
Of life is taken away
But I'm fighting to hold you again

So I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You hold my heart, you have my love
You are my bride

Nothing can shatter the promise I
Made to you
Our love will make you whole
I will be faithful, dying to be with you
I will not let you go

But I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You are my love, you are my church
You are my bride

There's a mystery to what her love can do
And she has a way of taking over you
She can hold your heart with every move she makes
But a single smile is really all it takes

She'll make you forget the way life used to be
Because once you let her in, she will take your everything

Cause her name is always Elizabeth
And she'll take your heart away and apologize for breaking it
Just the same, love of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time to me

She will tell me that her loves a day away
And there's something in her eyes that makes me stay
But her expectations are too great for me
So she'll leave me for the man I'll never be
She took all I had from beginning to end
But if I had another chance, I'd probably do it all again

Cause her name is always Elizabeth
And she'll take your heart away and apologize for breaking it
Just the same, love of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time

The New York sky's finding me lonely in love tonight
This way I deal can't take away what is real
Or change how I feel

Cause her name is always Elizabeth
And she'll take your heart away and apologize for breaking it
Just the same, love of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time

Cause her name is always Elizabeth
And she'll take your heart away and apologize for breaking it
Just the same, love of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time
Love of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time to me

Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight
The future's open wide beyond believing
To know why hope dies
Losing what was found, a world so hollow
Suspended in a compromise
The silence of this sound is soon to follow
Somehow sundown

And finding answers is forgetting
All of the questions we call home
Passing the graves of the unknown

Reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight
A reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
With love gone for so long

And this day's ending is the proof of time killing all the faith I know
Knowing that faith is all that I hold

Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight

And time stands still beneath the air of waiting hours
To touch, just to feel a love that seems to overpower me
She's all I'll ever need
And you know her love just hypnotizes me
'Til All I see is beautiful

At night I dream that you were sent to me from heaven
My Life, it seems so lonely here without your presence
You could change my everyday
And I could never think of love without your name
As you remain---

Beautiful--- like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain
Beautiful--- like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break
Beautiful--- like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun
Beautiful--- making everything brand new
Beautiful you

And all this time you're changing me to something better
A love so high that everyday that we're together
I will leave the world below
Until your heart becomes the only thing I know
All I know is---

Beautiful--- like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain
Beautiful--- like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break
Beautiful--- like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun
Beautiful--- making everything brand new
Beautiful you

Blinding darkness surrounds me
And I am reaching for you only
This hopelessness that drowns all that I believe
Will be the one thing that I need
For you only

There's a hunger slowly growing
And chasing shadows but never knowing
If all that I have done is keeping me from you
Can the arms of mercy bring the rescue to return to you

But I'm so far
But I'm so far
But I'm so far
So far from home

Keep on running farther, faster
Keep on searching for this haunting has an answer
And I know you will find me, in orbit
For I am breathing only for this.
For you only. For you only. For you only

But I'm so far
But I'm so far
But I'm so far
So far from home
