Lyrics
We're the angels
WE’RE THE ANGELS
Candle, Shadow, Halo, Around the moon
Staring at you, Nothing I’d rather do
Where you take me, Somewhere I want to be
Are we real? Or am I dreaming?
Maybe this is heaven
We just don’t know it yet
Everything changes
Just by the way I’m looking at it
Maybe there are places
Where no one is a stranger
Maybe this is heaven, baby
And we’re the angels
A thousand questions stealing away my time
Losing patience falling between the lines
Now you’re with me the where and the why disappear
All that’s left is your breathing
Where there is no one way sign
No dark secrets to deny
Hidden meanings are a lie
You know exactly what you want to find
Meant to be
MEANT TO BE
Melanie Dekker
You get just close enough so that I fall hard for you
You stay far away enough so the dance always feels new
Butterflies came in but never settled in
You were something I’d never get used to
Now I’m barely hanging in, love tricked me again
My heart is pleading for rescue
If It’s meant to be
I pray as I watch you walk away from me
If it’s meant to be…So it will be
Funny I feel so alive when the pain is digging in
It’s like I’ve dirt in my eyes and you can’t stop my own suffering
Soothing are the views that leave me less confused
Where explanations mean nothing
Loving you is not something that just stops
The casualty is this must be apart thing
If It’s meant to be
I pray as I watch you walk away from me
If it’s meant to be…So it will be
It pulls me apart like some ancient torture
Just when I feel fine the memory starts over
If It’s meant to be
I say as my tears fall in disbelief
If it’s meant to be…So it will be
Goodbye it will be
Your heart beating
YOUR HEART BEATING
Melanie Dekker / David C Pickell
This is perfect, a perfect mess
You shook me up in all these beautiful pieces
So I’m standing outside your door
It’s time to say what I just couldn’t say before
I have fallen for you, Now I’ve said goodbye to what I thought I knew
Somehow more than my head got turned
The fire in my belly showed me for sure
That love’s finally found its meaning; Your heart beating
When we’re face to face how my pulse starts racing
Telling me all my life was waiting
Waiting for the feeling of your heart beating
I hold you, I hold my breath
Listening to the sound deep inside your chest
One heart answers one heart’s call
In a place where there’s no words, no time, no fear at all
I have fallen for you, Now I’m flying high, and needing you nearby,
it’s such a pretty view
The sweetest rhythm, takes me over
Moves me like the pounding of a drum, what will I become?
The girl next door something more
I can’t escape the thoughts of your smile in the sun
Can't stop laughin'
CAN’T STOP LAUGHIN’
Melanie Dekker / Mike James
It’s kind of zen thinking happy and sad are the same
I start to wonder if I ‘m ever gonna believe in wonder again
Am I jaded, stalling, faded or falling?
I can’t stop laughin in the middle of the night
I can’t stop laughin at my overrated life
When it’s up to me to be up for you
For everything to be alright, I can’t stop laughin
I’m afraid if I stop laughin I might cry
I finally made it to midnight show at the den
But everybody there was so damn high
There was no one left to listen
Am I busted breakin rusted or mistaken?
It’s so so easy to turn your head away
It’s so so easy to fake to fake a sunny day
