♪ ♪ You say it'll never work out.
You say it's done.
You say I could never give my heart.
You say I'd run.
You say I'm not over it, the past mistakes You say I'm not sure enough, I'd run away.
I say I'm over it, I say I'm fine.
I think you've won my heart.
I know it's time.
I know it won't be easy, there'll be mistakes.
I know we'll work this out.
Don't run away Like waves rolling out to sea, your love washes over me.
I'm drowning in this tidal wave.
I'm jumping in all the way.
You say it'll work this time.
You say I'm the one.
I say I'm holding onto love.
I say I won't run.
I know we'll work this out.
We'll make a way.
I know it won't be easy.
We won't run away.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
The next song I'm going to do is a song called "Vultures".
It's from my latest CD.
One of the reasons why this song is a special song to me is because my son wrote it.
He's a fantastic songwriter, singer, artist.
But anyway, he wrote it and we put it on the CD.
"Vultures", here we go.
One for the money, two for the show.
Three grab your gun and blast down the door so they'll see.
Just how strong you can be.
One for the cash, two for the blast.
Three grab 'em and kick 'em till they're on the floor, They ain't so tough anymore We all see the vultures, we flock 'em to the corners, Tie 'em all together, rip off all the feathers, and make sure they couldn't get any deader.
One for the hits, two for the blows.
Three can't you see everything I touch turns to gold.
You should have known.
One for the pain, two for the gain.
Three always seem to try to place the blame on to you.
But you know it's never true.
We all see the vultures, we flock 'em to the corners, Tie 'em all together, rip off all the feathers, and make sure they couldn't get any deader.
When we're at our lows, they all fly in close.
When we're all alone, they feed.
When we at our lows, they pick us to our bones.
We know where it goes from here.

♪ ♪ I just can't remember when it was better, I'm sick of always feeling so down.
I need to find a reason to keep on breathing, it's breaking me, I don't wanna drown.
It's time for me to bailout, nosedive.
It's the only way I'll get out, survive.
There's no putting back together, bits of forever, Won't let it keep beating me down.
Cause I don't want to burn it down, but this is madness, sticking around.
And we could fight it, ride it out, but I would just rather go and kiss it with a matchbook.
I know that you can see it, I really need it, to get out before I shut down.

As I lay in your arms, mesmerized by your charms.
As I look in your eyes, it's then I realize.
That I need your loving ways.
They mean more, more, more than words can say.
As I lay in our bed, memories dance through my head Feeling the warmth of your touch, overwhelmed it's just too much.
Oh this feeling deep inside, it's something, something I just can't hide.
I need you to know that you make my life complete I want you to know that I love our bedroom suite ♪ Looking 'round in this room, Can't help but be consumed The passion and love that you give, it moves me and helps me to live.
Oh you've filled a place in me.
You've passed, passed, all my wildest dreams Even on your darkest days, I still need your love Your smile, your touch, your ways.
I need you.

This is a song called "Memories".
It's a song that I wrote after talking to some friends on, actually Facebook who I hadn't seen or talked to in a long time.
So, it's a song that came together really super quick, probably like twenty minutes.
But it's a song about the old times and old memories.
The song is called "Memories".
♪ Looking at old pictures, thinking 'bout old times Laughing at Jason's hairdo, you're running through my mind.
Driving that old brown Mercury, sneaking through your backyard Feeling your every heartbeat, I was crushing hard Oh those were simple times, we lived our lives, with our hearts open wide Oh, how I miss those days, that time that place, those memories Playing ball in the church lot, we were the wiffle ball kings Jana's face as we told her, we knew everything That band we started, we'd surely make it big Every day we practiced, we never played a gig.
Oh those were simple times, we lived our lives, with our hearts open wide Oh, how I miss those days, that time that place, those memories I could never lose you, you're forever in my mind The days go on and the years pass by Yet you're with me through all time.
Oh yeah Oh those were simple times, we lived our lives, with our hearts open wide Oh, how I miss those days, that time that place, those memories Oh those were simple times, we lived our lives, with our hearts open wide Oh, how I miss those days, that time that place, those memories Those memories.
Those memories.
Those memories.
Yeah, yeah.
