“If you want to be somebody else, then think of someone you can one day become. Pretend that you’re this person already. Every day of your life, pretend more and more. Eventually, you will come to realize that you already became that person a long time ago. To pretend is to bring that person to life, one day at a time.”

Knowing You

Do I know you? Your familiar face
Haunts me, night after night, I dream
Of you, wonder what you’re doing
Now, if you wonder about me too

Do I know you? You voice that
Used to call my name, happy and
So innocent, do you still call my
Name that way, waiting for an answer

I’ll never know what you become
Somehow, that’s so sad. Even more
Than wishing that we had never tried
I can’t help but still want to see you

Do I know you? Your laughter seems
So far away, we used to have so much fun
Now I can’t recall the exact sound
Fades more with every passing year

Do I know you? Your future plans were
So deep, they captivated me completely
Have you changed who you want to be
In the time since we were together

I’ll never know what you become
Somehow, that’s so sad. Even more
Than wishing we had never tried
I can’t help but still want to see you

Do I know you? Those few years seem like
A dream now, something that was never real
Until I fall asleep, then the past comes back to me
I wonder if you dream of me anymore

I’ll never know what you become

Somehow, that’s so sad. Even more
Than wishing we had never tried
I can’t help but still want to see you

Tonight

Make it last, this feeling inside
Deep in me, I draw you near
So close to my heart, I feel the beat
Just don’t let me go tonight

Need to feel something new
Learn you in different ways
Secrets revealed in the dark
Hold on tight, don’t let me go

Oh, sometimes we need someone
To show us kindness is real
Feel our hearts beating together
Soft and slow, don’t let me go

Make it last, this feeling inside
Deep in me, I draw you near
So close to my heart, I feel the beat
Just don’t let me go tonight

Make it last, tonight and all the nights
Wrap me in your arms and tell me
That this is all you want and all you need
Just you and me and this wonderful feeling

Together, we’ll make some new memories
We’ll learn each other’s names and call
Them out in voices so tender and brave
I hear you speak my name, so don’t let go

Make it last, this feeling inside
Deep in me, I draw you near
So close to my heart, I feel the beat
Just don’t let me go tonight

Just let it flow, what we’re feeling tonight
This safe place we’re creating together
We could live here forever if we wanted to
So don’t let go, don’t ever let me go

Tonight

Change Now

What’s this sadness inside of me
My heart so heavy these days
I don’t like it so I say goodbye
Make some changes to my life today

Pour some salt on these wounds
Wait for the burning to go away
What’s left will heal and grow
Become something so much stronger than before

Don’t want to feel so dragged down
All the time, so tired and defeated
Nothing else to do but change it all around
Make something else happen now

What’s this sadness inside of me
My heart so heavy these days
I don’t like it so I say goodbye
Make some changes to my life today

Don’t want to wait until it’s too late
Need to take action while I can
No more stalling on this road, waiting
For something else to happen first

Waiting around never works, only
Makes the sadness so much worse
Don’t want to feel that way forever
Need to keep my head above water

What’s this sadness inside of me
My heart so heavy these days
I don’t like it so I say goodbye
Make some changes to my life today

Got to make those changes, little as
They are, doesn’t matter how I start
Just as long as I begin something now
Turn my life around, chase the darkness away

What’s this sadness inside of me

My heart so heavy these days
I don’t like it so I say goodbye
Make some changes to my life today
