CRAZY BEAUTIFUL LIFE
(Callaghan/ Matkosky)

Here we are
You and me and we got nothing to do
It's a perfect day, shining all around us
The sky's never been so blue

Here we go, walking on sunshine
Every step, just taking our sweet time
All we got is all we need in this
Unpredictable, crazy beautiful life, life, crazy beautiful life

It seems to be, life gets a little faster, every day
I wanna slow it down, breathe it in
Make it last, make it stay

Here we go, walking on sunshine
Every step, just taking our sweet time
All we got is all we need in this
Unpredictable, crazy beautiful life, life, crazy beautiful life

Nothing gonna get in our way now
Whatever comes we'll get by somehow
All we got is all we need
In this unpredictable, why not risk it all
Heartbreakingly sad and wonderful,
This crazy beautiful life


 



WHO WOULD I BE
(Callaghan/ Matkosky)

There are days I know that I'm right where I should be
But underneath nothing makes any sense
And I get lost sometimes

With all the fear with all the doubt
With all the voices crying out
Who would I
Who would I be without you?

Without you
Without you
Who would I
Who would I be without you?

I can see all the things that I have left behind
But when I close my eyes
I feel the strength you give me to survive
It’s what you do to me
It’s what you do to me

With all the fear with all the doubt
With all the voices crying out
Who would I
Who would I be?

With every step along the way
Every choice that I have made
Who would I Who would I be without you?

Without you
Without you
Who would I
Who would I be without you?


 



NOAH’S SONG
(Callaghan)

My wish for you, do the best that you can do
Try to touch the sky
I hope you find happiness and peace of mind
I know you’ll be alright
As you learn to fly

I hope life treats you kind
And you dream sweet dreams every night
And you hold onto the love you find

I hope you get most of what you desire
When you think you’ve done enough
You reach a little bit higher
When it’s cold outside you feel the fire inside

Keep your head held high, look life in the eye

My wish for you, do the best that you can do
Try to touch the sky
I hope you find happiness and peace of mind
I know you’ll be alright
As you learn to fly

I hope that you grow old
When the nights draw in you have a warm hand to hold
And you always give more than you owe

I hope you find that thing that makes you smile
And you take the time to stop once in a while
And you’re not afraid to cry
You’re not afraid to cry

My wish for you, do the best that you can do
Try to touch the sky
I hope you find happiness and peace of mind
I know you’ll be alright
As you learn to fly


 




I’LL TAKE YOU AWAY
(Callaghan/ Matskoky)

When the world is trying to bring you to your knees
You keep on searching but you can't find what you need
Ill take you away
When you're out of hope and all your strength is gone
When you're drowning, trying to fight the storm
Ill take you away

Past the heartache, and all regrets
Past the lonely nights and the emptiness
Never touch the ground, never fade away
Ill take you away
Ill take you away

When you try so hard but nothing makes sense
When no one out there will come to your defense
Ill take you away
When you can't remember how to laugh or cry
When the walls around you get so high
Ill take you away

Past the heartache, and all regrets
Past the lonely nights and the emptiness
Never touch the ground, never fade away

Ill take you away
Ill take you away

Past the heartache, and all regrets
Past the lonely nights and the emptiness
Never touch the ground, never fade away

Ill take you away
Ill take you away


 



BEST YEAR
(Callaghan/ Stephens)

This could be the best year of our lives
If we tear up the rule book
Leave it all behind
You work all day ‘till you close your eyes
Let’s get out of this town
Find some bluer skies

And I feel the good times coming
And I see a new sun rising
Don’t wait, it’s on the horizon
This could be, the best year of our lives

Thinking about it, I don’t know why we waited so long
Sitting there at that desk was never where I belonged
Now we’ll take this chance, do something of our own
Fly across an ocean, move a thousand miles from home

And I feel the good times coming
And I see a new sun rising
A blue sky and an endless horizon
This could be the best year of our lives

Sometimes life offers a chance, just one moment falls in your hands
Win or lose, wrong or right, life is all about the ride

And I feel the good times coming
And I see a new sun rising
Don’t wait, it’s on the horizon
This could be, the best year of our lives


 



LOST
(Callaghan)

Late last night I dreamed you were leaving
Gone so far, gone with no warning
And the days grew dark and long
So quiet, like a bird with no song
When you were gone

What would I do, where would I go
How would I feel, how would I know
How to move on, if you were gone

They all say I should be stronger on my own
But I can’t help this feeling of hunger in my bones
There’s no way to hide it, no way to disguise it
The way that I’m needing you now

What would I do, where would I go
How would I feel, how would I know
How to move on, if you were gone, if you were gone

I wish I could go back to dreaming
And wake up with you by my side
Or have you for just one more moment
And stop time, just hold time

What do I do, where do I go
How will I feel, how will I know
How to move on, now that you’re gone

Oh what do I do, where do I go
How will I feel, I’ll never know
How to move on, now that you’re gone
Now that you’re gone

What do I do?
What do I do?


 



GREEN EYES
(Callaghan)

Your green eyes catch the starlight here tonight
They see right into mine, those green eyes
And all I want to do is keep them in my sight

How come they see everything that I’ve been hiding
And every part of me
No matter what, through the loving and the fighting
They’re all that I can see

In those green eyes I see my future lies by your side
Oh and I could try to question why those green eyes
Hold me so completely but I’m tied

How come they see everything that I’ve been hiding
And every part of me
No matter what, through the loving and the fighting
They’re all that I can see

How come they see everything that I’ve been hiding
And every part of me
No matter what, through the loving and the fighting
They’re all that I can see

Your green eyes catch the starlight here tonight


 



FREE TO BE
(Callaghan/ Matkosky)


My head's still spinning, I'm lost in a dream
The sun breaks through like it knows how it feels
To be alright, to be alright

I'm caught in emotion, I feel everything
The world that surrounds me, it makes me believe
That it’s alright, that it's alright

We can be free, have all that we need
We can make life anything we want it to be
We can be happy, as long as you stay here with me
We can make life anything we want it to be
Anything we want it to be

When everything’s crazy there’s somewhere to go
And it makes me smile to know what I know
That it’s alright, that it's alright

We can be free, have all that we need
We can make life anything we want it to be
We can be happy, as long as you stay here with me
We can make life anything we want it to be
Anything we want it to be

In the eye of the storm
I’m safe and I’m warm
If I have you to hold
I’m home, home

We can be free, have all that we need
We can make life anything we want it to be
We can be happy, as long as you stay here with me
We can make life anything we want it to be
Anything we want it to be


 



WHEN YOU LOVED ME
(Callaghan/ Kaset)

When you loved me
I was alive in every moment
The moment played out like a movie scene

When you loved me
I had everything I wanted
Reality was sweeter than the dream
When you loved me

Everything was simple then
My heart was virgin pure
When you’re that young and innocent
It’s easy to be sure

And god I believed how beautiful life could be

When you loved me
I was alive in every moment
The moment played out like a movie scene

When you loved me
I had everything I wanted
Reality was sweeter than the dream
When you loved me

Maybe in another world, maybe in another time
If we met tomorrow you would still be mine

When you loved me
I was alive in every moment
The moment played out like a movie scene

When you loved me
I had everything I wanted
Reality was sweeter than the dream
When you loved me

Oh god I believed
When you loved me


 


PARACHUTE
(Callaghan/ Wakeman)

The sky, it was falling
Stars were at my feet
My heart, it was heavy
Weighing down on me
The light, it was fading
You were all I could see
You were calling me

Whenever I fall to my knees
Whenever this fear takes hold of me
I reach for you
You’re all that I hold on to
My parachute, parachute

This love has seen it all
Happiness and pain
The weight on your shoulders
Trying to take the strain
Your arms were open
Keeping me from harm
You were calling me

Whenever I fall to my knees
Whenever this fear takes hold of me
I reach for you
You’re all that I hold on to
My parachute, parachute

Whenever I fall to my knees
Whenever this fear takes hold of me
I reach for you
You’re all that I hold on to
My parachute, parachute


 



LAST SONG
(Callaghan/ Beeson/ White)

Sometimes I think the earth is flat
People sail away and don't come back, words unspoken
We count on things that slip away
Another chance, another day, gifts unopened

Tomorrow may be more than even heaven can allow
I want you to hear me, hear me now

If this is the last song
Make it real, make it strong, make it last all night long
If this is the last thing I ever do
I'm singing this last song, last song for you

Sometimes I wanna wake you up
Try to hold you close enough, show you I love you so much
You're the reason in my rhyme, the heart that beats in every line
In each kiss and sweet touch

Before this moment fades into another yesterday
I want you to hear me, hear me say

If this is the last song
Make it real, make it strong, make it last all night long
If this is the last thing I ever do
I'm singing this last song
The last song for you

When the curtain falls one final time
You'll go your way, ill go mine,
But before I say goodbye...

If this is the last song
Make it real,
Make it strong,
Make it last all night long
If this is the last thing I ever do
I'm singing this last song
The last song for you


 



WE DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
(Callaghan/ Matkosky)

We don't have to change the world
We don't need to find our way
We can stay right here, lay back, relax
Let the sun just chase our blues away

Let the planets spin around a few thousand times
Let the madness and the pressure and the monday lives
Just fade away to only you and I

When everybody's telling you, there's something else you gotta do
Every day you let another chance slip away
But they don't know what we know

We don't have to change the world
We don't need to find our way
We can stay right here, lay back, relax
Let the sun just chase our blues away

Let the moments go where they wanna go
Don't worry about losing control
Cos it's just a need, we can't explain
And we never have it anyway

We don't have to change the world
We don't need to find our way
We can stay right here, lay back, relax
Let the sun just chase our blues away

Let the storms roll by
Everything will be alright
Baby we can save the fight
for another day

We don't have to change the world
We don't need to find our way
We can stay right here, lay back, relax
Let the sun just chase our blues away
