Introduction (Dear You)

Dear You.
Physically, there's a distance between us.
At the same time, it feels like there is none at all.
You have become such a big piece in this puzzle that I call, "Life."
That when I think about you. It almost feels like you're next to me.
Okay, okay, okay. Lets be real here. I think about you a lot.
Your voice, your laugh, your smile. But you're worth every second invested in that.
Coming from someone who is normally a logical thinker.
This is the scariest thing I've ever done in life.
Following my emotions for once.
I haven't met you, in person, that is.
And yet, it feels like I need you in my life in order to function.
But soon. Although manufactured by a series of events, our paths will cross.
And who knows what will happen next?
I'm excited and reluctant, and I look forward to this.
I trust that this is the start of our story.
The moment that we first see each other in person.
Whether we stop where we stand, smile, hug, hold hands, kiss, whatever.
Let this be the last story we have to write in our lives. One together.
One where you are the pen, my heart the paper.
You, the author, of this happy ending.
Because, lets face it, I suck at writing those.
For now, this is just the preface.
See you soon.
From Me.

The Distance Between Us

|
[Verse]
I've been putting this pen to paper. For far too long.
Hoping one day our paths will cross. And I could sing you this song.
I know that this, is killing you. Well trust me, it's killing me too.
Knowing where you are, feeling like there's nothing I can do.
Two separate beds, all alone.
You're asleep on the other end, of the telephone.
Well if home is where the heart is,... You be the artist.
Paint the path to your arms. Because that's where I call home.
[Chorus]
The distance, between us.
Never felt so far.
Well I'm trying my best to,...
Make my way out to you.
[Verse]
I think I'm crazy, because I've fallen for you.
Yet, I don't regret one thing, I hoped you'd fall for me too.
Lets close the distance. Maybe, I'll meet you halfway.
Just promise me one thing. Promise me, you'll stay.
You've already made your way into my heart. And I don't want to let you go.
Even though the miles are very far, your arms are where I will call my home and,...
Kiss me on the cheek, or kiss me on the lips.
Let me hold your face in my hand, and wrap my arm around your hips.
[Chorus]
The distance, between us.
Never felt so far.
Well I'm trying my best to,...
Make my way out to you.
[Outro]
I'll pull you in close, and hold tightly.
Smother you in kisses, until you can't breathe.
I'll stare you in the eyes and,
tell you how much you mean to me.
I'll give you a nickname, that only we would know.
Only call you it, when it's just you and me alone.
I want you, to know this.
Be the last person I fall in love with.

See You Soon

[Verse]
I've got my ticket to New York.
It's time to pack up all of my bags.
Even though it hasn't happened yet.
It will be the best time I've ever had.
I'd trade this California sunshine.
To be in your arms, and you in mine.
I want to board this plane,...
Cross the states that have kept me far away.
From you. Your scent. Your touch.
Baby if it's you. I can't get enough.
[Chorus]
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to hold you in my arms.
And whisper into your ear,...
"Oh, how I've missed you my dear."
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to kiss you on the lips.
Where both of us will wish.
That moments like this. Never ended.
[Verse]
Days away, but it feels so long.
Counting seconds, minutes, and hours on the clock.
I spent so much time wishing to see you.
And now those dreams are coming true.
I think about my first words I will say.
But I'm sure you'll just take my breath away.
So sorry if I just stand there and smile,
and think about you for a while.
Our first kiss, I won't miss, it. For anything.
[Chorus]
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to hold you in my arms.
And whisper into your ear,...
"Oh, how I've missed you my dear."
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to kiss you on the lips.
Where both of us will wish.
That moments like this. Never ended.
[Chorus]
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to hold you in my arms.
And whisper into your ear,...
"Oh, how I've missed you my dear."
See you soon, see you soon.
I can't wait to kiss you on the lips.
Where both of us will wish.
That moments like this. Never ended.

Thinking in Timezones
07:24
|
|
||
|
[Intro]
So call me if you're feeling alone.
It's hard thinking in time zones.
and I'm wondering, if you're falling asleep,
without me.
We're lying next to our telephones.
There's one thing that I want to know.
Can you hear me, when I randomly say, "I'm in love with you?"
[Verse]
Time is hard, but it's time for a change.
I'm adding hours to mine, because you're miles away.
The hardest part about my day, is hoping that you're awake, when I get home.
It may be early for me, but for you it's late.
To hear my voice, sleep is what you'd trade.
But if you're dreaming, I'm not leaving, on this phone, I will stay.
I lie awake for hours. Listening to you sleep.
Just in case you wake up, asking for me.
[Verse]
We could watch the stars together.
Even though we're in separate cities.
And even if the stars feel closer,
you will always be with me.
Lets sing each other love songs.
Dedicate the lyrics to one another.
And when one of us is feeling lost,
we'll sing those words to guide the other.
I just want to hear you say, "Good morning." And, "Good night."
I can't wait for the day, that we see each other and lock eyes.
[Chorus]
So call me if you're feeling alone.
It's hard thinking in time zones.
and I'm wondering, if you're falling asleep,
without me.
We're lying next to our telephones.
There's one thing that I want to know.
Can you hear me, when I randomly say, "I'm in love with you?"
[Bridge]
I'll look at these photos of you.
Hoping one day I could be in them too.
Smiling and making, all the funny faces.
It feels like there's nothing better to do.
Besides to wait to talk to you.
Well that's okay, because, that's all I want to do.

Dance, Wherever We Are
03:47
|
|
||
|
[Verse]
I love it when you smile.
I love it when you laugh.
So I'm hoping that if I asked you to dance,
you would take my hand.
If we're talking memories,
there's so many, I want to have.
I'll do, whatever it takes to,...
Create as many as we can.
[Chorus]
So pull me close, I want to feel the beat of your heart.
We could spin around the room, and dance wherever we are.
I know I'm bad, but guess what, you are too.
We're looking like fools, and I don't care.
As long as I'm,... As long as I'm with you.
[Verse]
Tell me all the things that you wanna do.
Because I wanna do all of those things too.
I don't care, how silly, they are.
As long as I'm with you.
Jump on my back, and we can laugh, our way,...
To wherever we go.
I'm glad that I've finally found someone.
Who won't let me do these things alone.
[Chorus]
So pull me close, I want to feel the beat of your heart.
We could spin around the room, and dance wherever we are.
I know I'm bad, but guess what, you are too.
We're looking like fools, and I don't care.
As long as I'm,... As long as I'm with you.
[Bridge]
Lets dance where we are. We'll kiss under the stars.
I mean it when I say, "I promise you my heart."
We've got our whole lives, and this is just the start.
You could be far away, but it never feels like we're apart.
[Chorus]
So pull me close, I want to feel the beat of your heart.
We could spin around the room, and dance wherever we are.
I know I'm bad, but guess what, you are too.
We're looking like fools, and I don't care.
As long as I'm,... As long as I'm with you.

Forgetting to Breathe
06:55
|
|
||
|
[Verse]
I spend a lot of time thinking about you.
And all the things that we could do.
But in the back of my mind,
I feel like I am wasting all of your time.
Am I a burden because I want you to stay?
Knowing the steps to you are thousands of miles away.
Maybe there's someone better out there,
that's closer to you.
I'm sorry that I think this way,
but there's been so many things, I didn't do or say.
If we're talking about everything in my past.
I screwed it all up and I don't want to do that with you.
[Pre Chorus]
But then I close my eyes and start to dream.
And I see you there lying, right next to me.
You're smiling saying I'm your everything.
Well you're the universe to me. And I'm telling you,...
[Chorus]
Don't forget to breathe because I do.
Every time that I think about you.
You take, my breath away.
Darling, if you were to move on without me, it's okay.
There's nothing that I can do.
The memories I made with you, were worth it.
Because you are perfect.
[Verse]
You filled the empty holes in my heart.
You are the best thoughts in my head.
In reality we're just writing postcards.
And I'm running out of pens.
I've ruined everything I fell for.
And I chose loneliness instead.
Then I met you, and told myself.
If I can't have you, I'd rather be dead.
Maybe, I should write you off and say,
that you're the one who got away.
I just want you to be happy.
I'll do whatever it takes, even if it means you'd go on without me.
[Pre Chorus]
But then I close my eyes and start to dream.
And I see you there lying, right next to me.
You're smiling saying I'm your everything.
Well you're the universe to me. And I'm telling you,...
[Chorus]
Don't forget to breathe because I do.
Every time that I think about you.
You take, my breath away.
Darling, if you were to move on without me, it's okay.
There's nothing that I can do.
The memories I made with you, were worth it.
Because you are perfect.
[Chorus]
Don't forget to breathe because I do.
Every time that I think about you.
You take, my breath away.
Darling, if you were to move on without me, it's okay.
There's nothing that I can do.
The memories I made with you, were worth it.
Because you are perfect.

Pictures of Us
04:45
|
|
||
|
[Verse]
I've emptied all of the pictures on my phone.
To fill them with memories of us.
When distance makes me feel all alone.
I'll think about you. And open them up.
Lets take cute photos and silly ones too.
I don't care as long as they have you.
Next to me,... Smiling.
Or whatever you want to do.
[Chorus]
I'm falling for you.
And there's nothing I can do.
You weren't the one who was saved.
It was me who you rescued.
I'll leave my heart, in your arms.
Wherever you are, no matter how far.
I'll find my way, back to you.
[Verse]
We've only got so much time together.
You know I hate being on my phone.
But these pictures of us will make things better.
When I'm miles away at home.
Each memory will be tied to,...
A moment that I was with you.
To recollect all the little details.
Of every single rendezvous.
[Chorus]
I'm falling for you.
And there's nothing I can do.
You weren't the one who was saved.
It was me who you rescued.
[Chorus]
I'm falling for you. (I'll leave my heart, in your arms.)
And there's nothing I can do. (Wherever you are.)
You weren't the one who was saved. (No matter how far.)
It was me who you rescued. (I'll find my way back to you.)

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
You're thousands of miles away.
I'll tear my heart, off my sleeve.
And send it to you to take.
[Verse]
She's got the dark lipstick.
And the side-swept bangs.
The way she sings to me,
makes me feel some sort of way.
Call me crazy because I'm gonna speak in circles.
I can't help but forget what I'm trying to say.
I tried so hard, not to fall for her though,...
I can't keep, all these feelings locked away.
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
You're thousands of miles away.
I'll tear my heart, off my sleeve.
And send it to you to take.
[Verse]
It's funny she's, everything I want.
I don't think twice about, anything she's not.
She's perfect to me, and she, doesn't know it yet.
I can't stop thinking of her, and I don't want her out of my head.
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
You're thousands of miles away.
I'll tear my heart, off my sleeve.
And send it to you to take.
[Bridge]
Tell me about your favorite song.
We could listen to it all night long.
Look into each other's eyes,
and then we could sing along.
We could talk about the first time that I kiss you.
To get to that, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
Miles apart, may be super hard.
But you're worth it. You're worth the shot.
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
You're thousands of miles away.
I'll tear my heart, off my sleeve.
And send it to you to take.

[Verse]
It looks like I’ve, got a long way to go.
All this time, there’s so much, that you don’t know.
About how I feel, all the breaths you steal,
How many miles would it take to seal the deal?
I know that you, deserve the truth.
Trust me, when I say, I’m in love with you.
You make me so nervous, that I don’t know what to say.
I’ve got no clue, but it looks like you’ve, set the stage.
[Chorus]
What do I have to do, to get across to you?
You’re out of this world, and I’m not there with you.
I’ll do whatever it takes, to sweep you off your feet.
And take you farther away.
I don’t know what you could, possibly see in me.
Even though, I know, you would do anything.
If you flew, to the moon, I would wait for you.
To come back, into my arms, to see this through.
[Verse]
I know that, you are everything I want.
You and me together, I know that we could be so strong.
I promise that, I’ll admit it when I’m wrong.
We could sit and talk or just lie together until dawn.
Are you player one? Because I’ll be player two.
Lets play video games, or sleep when there’s nothing to do.
All the while, I always smile, when I think of you.
I hope to start forever with you soon.
[Chorus]
What do I have to do, to get across to you?
You’re out of this world, and I’m not there with you.
I’ll do whatever it takes, to sweep you off your feet.
And take you farther away.
I don’t know what you could, possibly see in me.
Even though, I know, you would do anything.
If you flew, to the moon, I would wait for you.
To come back, into my arms, to see this through.

|
[Verse]
I've spent, countless, nights sleeping alone.
Waiting for somebody just like you, to make these four walls feel like home.
The thought of losing you, kills me, more than you could ever know.
I've never been so scared of anything, so I wrote you this song.
[Verse]
There's all these letters and hotel rooms.
Where I've made all of these memories with you.
We've filled them with our heartbeats too.
And there's still so much more to do.
I don't think that you have a clue.
On how much that I need you.
We could debate about it for hours,
but we both know the truth.
[Pre Chorus]
How can I believe that our hearts are two?
When we're far apart mine beats as if it needs you.
So tell me, darling, what am I feeling?
What should I do?
[Chorus]
If I were to hold on to,...
The thing I'm afraid to lose.
I'll pull you close, and hold on tight.
Because I don't want to lose you.
If you hold on tight.
I promise you the rest of my life.
I want you to know, I won't let you go.
Lets start the rest of our lives tonight.
