Part II: Lyrics - Light

You are light, you illuminate, you captivate me.
You walk into a room with that smile on your face and I become alive.
You are light, you illuminate, you've captured my heart.

You are light, you illuminate the darkest of nights.
You look up into the sky and all the clouds seems to tumble to the ground.
You are light, you illuminate, you brighten my day.

Will I let you know that you mean everything to me?
When I'm lost and cannot be found, you open up your eyes to see me.

You are light, you illuminate, you fascinate me.
You could speak the words to let me know that everything will be okay.
You are light, you illuminate, you've opened my eyes.

Will I let you know that you mean everything to me?
When I'm lost and cannot be found, you open up your eyes to see me.
Will I let you down, my light that I have found?
A hope that now I can embrace, the one whose put a smile on my face.

Part II: Lyrics - Hold On, Love

The thought of it still lingers here, it's waiting for its chance to call.
Secretly it hides itself in the depths of our heart's walls.

Is this a burden for you to bear? A new comfort you're not accustomed to?
There is no fear for you to concede, let these feelings begin to blanket you.

So hold on, love - let these feelings overtake you.
And hold on, love - it's buried inside of you.
Let's push down these walls that separate you and me,
And we won't hide behind our hearts anymore.

Is there hesitation on your part? Your skeptical opinion of me?
Is it the frankness in which I speak? It's a part of me that you've never seen.

So hold on, love - let these feelings overtake you.
And hold on, love - it's buried inside of you.
Let's push down these walls that separate you and me,
And we won't hide behind our hearts anymore.

Part II: Lyrics - Suffocation

This fragile branch is weeping down and it's slowly progressing towards the ground.
And it's hanging on by a thread like I'm hanging on to every word that you've said.
Have I heard you right or am I wrong to consider this a possibility?
The chance of all chances to call you my own.

And this is why I'm standing here with my heart on my sleeve,
To tell you that my life's been hard when I don't have you here with me.
Because I am so predictably afraid to tell you how I feel.
Because I need you like the air I breathe won't you suffocate me.

And tonight I see you looking at me, but I cannot read that look in your eyes.
So tell me what you mean, tell me what's on your mind. And I will not speak, I will not speak a word.

And this is why I'm standing here with my heart on my sleeve,
To tell you that my life's been hard when I don't have you here with me.
Because I am so predictably afraid to tell you how I feel.
Because I need you like the air I breathe won't you suffocate me.

Part II: Lyrics - Overdue

I practiced every verse and said it like I had rehearsed,
But I could have never anticipated her response.
She looked at me calm and collected - every word carefully selected,
And she caught me by surprise when she said ...

"I might be a little rough around the edges.
I might not have the answers to your questions,
But when the day is gone and you get home I'll be the one you're calling for.
I might be shy, but I'm a little crazy.
I might not like it when you call me baby,
But I'll be your shooting star and wherever you are I'll be the one you're searching for.
I might be a little out of line. I might have misread all of the signs,
But if you'll only follow through - I'll be the girl whose in love with you."

I admit that I had no clue as to what I should do,
Maybe I wasn't ready for this after all.
But when I looked into those brown eyes, I realized I'm a lucky guy,
And I caught her by surprise as I replied ...

"You might be a little rough around the edges.
You might not have the answers to my questions,
But as each day is gone I'm still alone because you're the one I'm looking for.
You might be shy but you're a little crazy.
You might not like it when I call you baby,
But you're dressed to kill and time stands still because you're the one I'm fighting for.
I might be a little out of line. I might have misread all of the signs,
But if my intentions aren't overdue - I'll be the boy whose in love with you."

Part II: Lyrics - Jackson

As I turn off the interstate, it's dark out as it's getting pretty late.
I take a left at the flashing lights and I can't help but think about those nights.
We were young and had nothing to do. We'd ride to the lookout just for the view.
We talked about life, our master plans, and up on those rocks is where it began.

And up ahead I can see the great big sign,
Where I know what's mine is yours and yours is mine. It says ...

Welcome to Jackson,
A place to live and a place to love, a small piece of Heaven from up above.
Welcome to Jackson,
Population four hundred and thirty-two, but the only one I care about is you.
Because you're my Jackson - you're my Jackson.

As I drive over Old Mason's Creek and by the courthouse onto Maple Street,
I see the fountain where we would wish. I see the spot where we shared our first kiss.
You were nervous and I was scared, the timing was right - a chance that we dared.
Never would I see the stars the same, after that night when we lit this flame.

I pull in, you're waiting with a bottle of wine,
And I know what's mine is yours and yours is mine. You say ...

Welcome to Jackson,
A place to live and a place to love, a small piece of Heaven from up above.
Welcome to Jackson,
When the road has called and you are gone, I'll be waiting right here until you get home.
Because you're my Jackson - you're my Jackson.


As I turn off the interstate, it's dark out as it's getting pretty late.
I take a left at the flashing lights and I can't wait to see you tonight.

Part II: Lyrics - I Like Your Chemistry

I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - I'm right here.
I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - I'm waiting right here for you.
And the sound of your voice it drives me crazy - so drive me crazy.

I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - I'm holding on the wire for you.
I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - without a doubt I've singled you out.
So run to me and show me the meaning - because you give me meaning.

So step inside and I won't hide these feelings I have for you.
So step inside and realize that I'm crazy about you.
Because I am blessed because you are blessed, you are a blessing to me.
So take my hand and you'll never hit the ground again alone.

I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - and set me ablaze with your eyes.
I like your chemistry, baby come next to me - I'll hold you tight through the night.
And I could never count the ways that you amaze me - because you're so amazing.

So step inside and I won't hide these feelings I have for you.
So step inside and realize that I'm crazy about you.
Because I am blessed because you are blessed, you are a blessing to me.
So take my hand and you'll never hit the ground again alone.
So take my hand and I'll never hit the ground again alone.
So take my hand and we'll never hit the ground again alone.

Part II: Lyrics - Say

Take the time to drink the wine of youth,
And don't be deterred by the blurry lines of the truth.
Because where there's black and white there's still shades of grey,
And I don't know any other way to say ...

To know the heart in you is all I want to do.
Just to know the heart in you is all I want to do.

So peer through your blinds and gaze at the stars outside.
As this is where triumph and grief collide.
As loneliness is frailty, ignorance is bliss.
And if I've learned anything, I know I've learned this ...

That to know the heart in you is all I want to do.
Just to know the heart in you is all I want to do.

So don't let it fade, don't let it slip away.
This gift of life, the joy of clarity.
Don't let these complexities get in your way.
And take to heart these words I'm trying to say to you.

To know the heart in you is all I want to do.
Just to know the heart in you is all I want to do.

Part II: Lyrics - This New Moon

This new light is calling me.
I cannot fight it or even disagree.
But will it be able to move the tide?
Will these waves and shore cease to collide?
I'm a wayward vessel lost in the wind,
But this bag of bones to death I'll defend.

This new moon must suffer the dark, but it is mending me.
This new remedy, this new ecstasy will guide me through the debris.

You made me promises I knew you couldn't keep.
A clever line, a thrill so cheap.
Your hook is words designed to deceive.
But I guess if I'm the cure then you're the diseased.

This new moon must suffer the dark, but it is mending me.
This new remedy, this new ecstasy will guide me through the debris.
This new remedy, this new ecstasy will guide me to you.
