Youth Goin' Bad

Can everybody hear me?
Is everybody listening?
There’s a war that we need to wage
Everybody’s talking
Everybody’s watching
Yet things remain the same
Oh Mama - woah is me. Dinners in the freezer and there’s no daddy around
Could the outcome be tragedy in the family?
Outrage when innocence is stolen away
Injustice around me is all I see
And the youths going bad, going bad
Oh no, is it too late
to turn the page, try and save the ones around me?
All I see is the youth going bad, going bad.
So is everybody with me?
Does everybody see what I see?
Then stand with me and stop denying
That some of our young ones
are losing hope in their outcome
their life fades from color to gray
Violence on the screen - carries to the streets and the classroom seats
Troubled are the teens.
Is anybody listening?
Outrage when innocence is stolen away
Injustice around me is all I see
And the youths going bad, going bad
Oh no, is it too late
to turn the page, try and save the ones around me?
All I see is the youth going bad…
the youths going bad.
is the youth going bad? (3x)
And is there no turning back?
Can everybody hear me?
Is everybody listening?
There’s a war that we need to wage.

Get Outta My Dreams
03:27

I go to bed with the TV on and the radio - the radio
Lights on and arms stretched wide, I’m all alone - I’m all alone
As my eyes are weighing I start praying I don’t fall asleep
The last thing I’d need to see is you made up of my memories
'Cause in my dreams I just see you
No matter how hard I try not to
And all my scar they rip wide open
I’m on my knees, get out my dreams
Days are cold, the nights are long when I think of you - I think of you
I keep my mind busy try my best not to think of you, but I still think of you
These days are heavy I’m so ready to move on
but all this sleep is reminding me that you hold my heart
'Cause in my dreams I just see you
No matter how hard I try not to
And all my scar they rip wide open
I’m on my knees
But you were the one telling me to be strong
find somebody else to call your own,
but how can I hold my head high
when every single night you’re by my side?
'Cause in my dreams I just see you
No matter how hard I try not to
And all my scar they rip wide open
I’m on my knees (4x) Please
Get Outta My Dreams (3x)

Hold On

Chances are I've misplaced my heart or perhaps it's stuck on you.
These hours, days, and weeks replay but it's tainted deja vu
and in every way I have lost my way
unbalanced, I'm coming unglued
and we can separate, make an even break, but I'll still be in love with you
So could we repave every brick we laid and start somewhere new?
or has circumstance gone and stole our chance and we're forced to see this through?
but in every way I have lost my way, I'm challenged and I need you
and we can separate with this even break, but my heart remains unmoved
So I'll take my time and I won’t move on, swear I can't move on
and in the back of my mind I hope you hold on, I hope you hold on to me
hold on to me, I hope you hold on to me
Our memories get the best of me and they're making me dream of you
I can smell you hair, even feel you there, but I'm waking to face the truth
that in every way I have lost my way
I can promise you there's no use
cause since we separated my hearts been breaking
every piece belongs to you
So I'll take my time and I won’t move on, swear I can't move on
and in the back of my mind I hope you hold on, I hope you hold on to me (2X)
I pray you hold on to me, hold on to

The Truth
04:16

Well I’m afraid to admit it's been a long time coming
I'm not sure what I've bit into yet
the situation is the kind to go and ruin something
that's always been so good
but I don't know if I can hide what I've been feeling so deep inside
but the truth if you only knew (2x)
So have you noticed me sitting a little bit closer?
I caught myself inching in
I'm so terrified that you just might find out
You always sense what’s stretching me thin
I’m just trying not to try, but all I swallow is butterflies
but the truth, to tell you the truth
I’m pretty sure I fell for you
I fell in love with you
This is true, so can you tell me the truth
could you love me too?
could you love me, could you really love me too?
can't speak 'cause there's a lump in my throat
every time I think of this
still got me wishing I could hold you so close
but maybe my opportunity is missed
I’ve been killing all my time
I avoid seeing you this confession is mine
but the truth I'm gonna tell you the truth
oh yes I fell for you
I fell in love with you
This is true, so can you tell me the truth
could you love me too?
could you love me, could you really love me too?
but if you need some vanishing time
straighten out what's confusing your mind - yes I will wait for you
I’m hoping the truth might sink into you
then maybe you'll feel what I do
Do you feel what I do? I fell in love with you
I fell in love with you
and it's killing me too
so can you tell me the truth
could you love me too?
could you love me, could you really love me too?

Well could it be that you and me fit together perfectly as one?
and could it be that you and me were built for this? built for the long run
and could it be that you have me? I'm so happy knowing I have won
you know the hardest part was finding you and now I plan to hold onto your love
your love
trouble may come our way and the worlds gonna try to steal you away
but no matter how things seem
we're gonna need each other, so please stay
stay.
I'll be careful, I'll be kind, I'll hold you every single night. I will, I will.
I'll give you everything that you need, every single part of me. I will. I will
and when your moments fill with doubt I'll be around I'll put 'em down I will
you know the hardest part was finding you and now I plan to hold onto your love
your love
trouble may come our way and the worlds gonna try to steal you away
but no matter how things seem
we're gonna need each other, so please stay
I'll be careful, I'll be kind, I'll hold you every single night. I will, I will.

Cherry Pie

I don’t even know what to say these words are slipping away from me
And all this talk, well, I think it should stop it's gonna ruin the mystery
'Cause honey, aren’t we in the mood to misbehave?
Come on, have a little fun its just foreplay
And maybe tonight’s the perfect night for an escape, so let's make it easy
So hazy are the words that you say, sober up and find your way to me
And if you talk that talk get like Rihanna and rock me out. I’ve been waiting patiently
Honey, aren't we in the mood for masquerade?
We can play like someone else and play it save
And maybe the tonight’s the perfect night for an escape, so let's make it easy
So while I put on some music mix the alcohol
There's tequilas in the freezer can you pour something strong?
Crazy comes with drinking, its not unusual
I think your body language is telling me you're cool with casual
And in my mind, I’d really like to love on you good - the whole neighborhood
'Cause what you’re serving looks nice with my appetite
Won't you cut me a slice?
I’m craving ice cream and hot cherry pie - your hot cherry pie
'Cause what you're serving looks nice with appetite won't you cut me a slice
I’m craving ice cream and hot cherry pie - your hot cherry pie
I don’t even know what to say these words are slipping away from me

Harmony

Laying my lap, just relax and let me soak up your tears
have no worries, have no troubles my dear
and just tell me everything
‘cause I got your back, count on that, so you need not fear
and when ache, your heart it breaks just draw near
and I’ll protect you from everything
and with all the things - everything - that we’ve been through
I know your ways and everyday I will stand by you
swear I will stand by you
‘cause you’re my sunshine on a cloudy
and you hold me close in that perfect way
you drive me crazy, hell, you can drive me wild
but I still think we’ve got this figured out cause
you and me, you and me we’re meant to be
you and me, you and me were harmony
you and me, you and me
some cherries and wine - we’re in for the night making memories
call it cheap but honestly its all I need
cause you’re all I need
and I’m caught in your eyes - they’re one of a kind
won’t you hold me close?
your hand in mine intertwined and how I know
that my heart is home
and with all the things - everything- that we’ve been through
wasted days, too many days I spend away from you
but I always knew
‘cause you’re my sunshine on a cloudy
and you hold me close in that perfect way
you drive me crazy, hell, you can drive me wild
but I still think we’ve got this figured out cause
you and me, you and me we’re meant to be
you and me, you and me were harmony
you and me, you and me
