james carrington - jonas
Jonas was always a stranger
He came from a family of two
He lived with his mother and hard drinking brother
They stuck to each other like glue
Jonas spent most of the time on his own
wondering why he was here
He asked all the questions he thought would explain
The meaning behind all the fear
(Jonas come back now)
Jonas was always excited by silence
He craved for the voices to stop
Sitting upstairs in a room full of pictures
His memory filled up the gaps
Clearing his mind was his favorite past time
And he practiced for hours on end
Learning to cope while he climbed up that slope
Was the only way that he could mend
Oh can't you see for yourself what the circumstances can do
Oh and you cry out at night cos its nothing to do with you
Jonas come back now
You've been sidetracked now
But it's alright
You'll be alright
Yes it's alright, you'll be alright now
Running and hiding and just not deciding
it's sad but it's wonderful too
Learning to cope while you climb up that slope
Is the only way forward for you
Oh can't you see for yourself what the circumstances can do
Oh and you cry out at night cos its nothing to do with you
Oh can't you see for yourself what the circumstances can do
Oh and you cry out at night cos its nothing to do with you
Jonas come back now
You've been sidetracked now
Jonas come back now
You've been sidetracked now
But it's alright
You'll be alright
Yes it's alright
You'll be alright now
Jonas come back now
Jonas come back now
Jonas come back now, Jonas come back now
james carrington - me oh my
The sanctuary that I left you in for the places that I hide
Makes the melancholy mood I'm in a harder one to ride
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
You fill my world, you fill my head
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
I miss my girl, I miss my bed
The piano that I play on every day only let's me play in minor keys
I wrote a song about you anyway, cos the piano sets me free
The comfort of your warm embrace is the feeling I long for
The skin I touch and celebrate, its what I'm waiting for
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
You fill my world, you fill my head
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
I miss my girl, I miss my bed
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
You fill my world, you fill my head
Me oh my wish I was kissing you
I miss my girl, I miss my bed
Me oh my oh my I'm missing you
You fill my world, you fill my head
Me oh my oh wish I was kissing you
I miss my girl I miss my bed
james carrington - only for you
Forget how much you know
Nothing prepares you for this
waiting is easier now
its the slow motion feelings i miss
Its quiet all the time in my head
A quiet little space just right ahead
Think i'm gonna turn off the world
Just for some time
God give me space
to find that smile
Put it back on your face
just for a while
Only for you (i care)
Only for you (i bear)
Only for you (i care)
james carrington - reach
There's still a little sound I like to hear
There's still a quiet voice inside my ear
when I feel blue instead of red
I'm scared of all the things I could have said
after all, it's your drowning eyes I recall
and the way you use to sleep
when I sang your song
cos when I reach for you
there's no time for us
and when you reach for me
I can feel your touch
cos life is lighter when your close
cos you complete the best of me
there's still a little love left in my heart
there's still a piece you didn't tear apart
when I think of all the skins we shed
seems sad that we can't comprehend the things we left
after all, its your lightest touch I recall
and the way you held your head
when I sang your song
cos when I reach for you
there's no time for us
and when you reach for me
I can feel your touch
cause life is lighter when you're close
cause you complete the best of me
when I sing your song
when I sing your song
when I sing your song
when I sing your song
after all, it's your drowning eyes I recall
and the way you used to sleep
when I sang your song
james carrington - stop the world
Living in daydreams
I am so tired
Lost all of my reasons
In all the things i desired
My lifes so crazy
i need some time out
Don't let me turn myself out
Stop the world, i wanna get off
Close the doors, i've had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All i want to do is unwind
Sliding up stairways
day after day
Walking through people
with nothing to say
My lifes so crazy
i need some time out
Don't let me turn myself out
Stop the world, i wanna get off
Close the doors, i've had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All i want to do is unwind
Roll at the right time
stop where you land
nobody sees when you get through
Pick with the fast ones
but go with the slow ones
nobody tells you what to do
Bring out the storm clouds that you find
when you leave them all behind
Just for a moment, just for a moment
Stop the world, i wanna get off
Close the doors, i've had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All i want to do is unwind
james carrington - ache
Isn't it strange?
The way things can change
Life that you lead turned on its head
Suddenly someone means more than you felt before
House in its yard turns into hope
Bridge:
I'm sorry but I meant to say
Many things along the way
This one's for you
Chorus:
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache
For you?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache
For you?
The time that it took
Riding wiles for my book
Seems to have broken in half
The gate that I shut
Last time I got hurt
Seems to have opened
So
All the world has been uknown
It's trying to catch me up
Tell me to appreciate here and now
Bridge:
I'm sorry but I meant to say
Many things along the way
This one's for you
Chorus:
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache
For you?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache?
Have I told you I ache
For you?
