Last Puzzle Piece 03:54

Last Puzzle Piece  Beautiful sunrise Saturday morning I’m up again just to greet the dawn  Waiting on the day waiting on you Sun lights up everything you do Palm trees whispering in the breeze You’re all that I want, you’re all that I need  It’s all right here I’m awake in a dream When you’re with me I feel free Do you feel it too Have you been waiting on me  I’ve been waiting on you    Stay with me on the bright side of the road  Catch a little of our own  Gonna lighten up our load I said, stay with me there ain’t a single thing I need  You make it all complete You're my last puzzle piece    When I’m with you there ain’t no winter There ain’t no seasons past September  Sun is high so am I We got a little time and it be on our side Let’s make the most of this moment we got  Forget the past tomorrow we’ll grab  A hold of the coastlines crystal sky  Together everything is gonna be all right Do you feel it too Have you been waiting on me  I’ve been waiting on you    Stay with me on the bright side of the road  Catch a little of our own  Gonna lighten up our load I said, stay with me  there ain’t a single thing I need  You make it all complete You're my last puzzle piece    You make it all complete Everywhere we go You were made for me  It’s the one thing I know  Hope is running deep You and I will go thru so many tomorrows   Stay with me on the bright side of the road  Catch a little of our own  Gonna lighten up our load I said, stay with me  there ain’t a single thing I need  You make it all complete You're my last puzzle piece  Stay with me on the bright side of the road  Catch a little of our own  Gonna lighten up our load You make it all complete You're my last puzzle piece

All That's Left (Is Love) 03:17
lyrics

All that's Left (is love) I’ve been missing you  Found a little box of old things Look around this empty room  Memories fading slowly    I saw so much in your eyes  I still see you when I close mine   I can’t say how much  I’ve been missing you  It’s weighing on my mind  Every time you’re gone I don't know how long I can keep this up After all this time All that’s left is love    No sense looking back  Standing in the shadows we cast  We’re onto different paths Letting go of all that we had  I saw so much in your eyes  I still see you when I close mine   I can’t say how much I’ve been missing you It’s weighing on my mind Every time you’re gone I don't know how long I can keep this up After all this time All that’s left is love   If we ever say hello again Can we take back the words we said  Would we make the same mistakes We made back then  Do it all again   I can’t say how much I’ve been missing you It’s weighing on my mind Every time you’re gone I don't know how long I can keep this up After all this time All that’s left is love I can’t say how much I’ve been missing you It’s weighing on my mind Every time you’re gone I don't know how long I can keep this up After all this time All that’s left is love all that’s left is love… all that’s left is love

Mexico 03:37
lyrics

Mexico  Where should I go  Maybe way down to Mexico  Is it there I could lose my heart  In the stars of the southern sky Is it there I could find  A simpler place in time There I could stare out  To where the ocean meets the sky   Under the stars, beneath the moon  Beside the sea, it’s just me Alone with the waves, that come and go  Like the winds that kiss & fly  My heart...is lost in Mexico    Another sundown on the oceans of my life  Watching the waves roll in under sunset lights What day is today doesn’t matter anyway Walk on the beach to the sounds of the sea Leaving the world behind me as I drift off to sleep  Under the stars, beneath the moon  Beside the sea, it’s just me Alone with the waves, that come and go  Like the winds that kiss & fly  My heart...is lost in Mexico    Where the warm winds blow  Down in Mexico  Where time slips away so slow   Under the stars, beneath the moon  Beside the sea, it’s just me Alone with the waves, that come and go  Like the winds that kiss & fly  My heart...my heart is lost under the southern stars  My heart…is lost in Mexico, Mexico Mi corazon esta perdido en Mexico

Walk With Me It’s been some time  Since we crossed lines  So come on take a minute We can catch the light Before the sun sets into the sea I wanna get to know you…talk to me. The moon is high wind just right Hold my hand get to know the night All I want and all I need Is for you to take a little walk with me   Got a feelin’ in my heart A feeling from the start Never want us to be apart Do you feel it too I wanna be with you For now we can take it slow C’mon...Walk with me First things first look in your eyes It should come as no surprise I see today and I can see tomorrow I don’t want to beg I wanna borrow…you You look so right beneath the sky Lookin’ like a dream before my eyes I can feel your hand so real Come with me this moment    Got a feelin’ in my heart A feeling from the start Never want us to be apart Do you feel it too I wanna be with you For now we can take it slow C’mon...Walk with me We could talk so late Lose track of time I don’t want to say goodbye Got a feelin’ in my heart A feeling from the start Never want us to be apart Do you feel it too I wanna be with you For now we can take it slow Chorus 2x C’mon…walk with me…

Boy Overboard 05:37
lyrics

Boy Overboard  Lost and found tossed around  Alone out on the sea  It’s getting cold now  It comes around to take me down  The wind is blowing fierce  I feel a storm cloud coming  The waves are all around me like the words that I wanna say I wish you had found me before the sky turned grey One thing is worse than not knowing direction  It’s when your destination isn’t there I need a little shelter from out here   If you and I are ships out on the ocean  Then I will look for you on my horizons  I can feel the waves and they’re rising  Boy overboard I navigate thru all of my emotions The warning lights are flashing now  I feel I’m going under The wind has blown away the skyline  Boy Overboard …Boy overboard    Back and forth a collision course Your waves crash on my shores and I’ll be stranded now  An island and an open sea  I'd rather have you next to me  I’ll be on my own drifting  I can see clearly for the first time in so long  I wish you were near me 'cause I could take this ocean on  One thing is worse than not knowing direction  It’s when your destination isn’t there Oh I need a little shelter from out here   If you and I are ships out on the ocean  Then I will look for you on my horizons  I can feel the waves and they’re rising  Boy overboard I navigate thru all of my emotions The warning lights are flashing now  I fear I’m going under The wind has blown away the skyline  Boy overboard ….Boy overboard    We all get a choice to make Sink or swim, give and take I’m drowning in a lack of you I'm coming up for air I know that you still care You'd be lying if you said it wasn't true   If you and I are ships out on the ocean  I will look for you on my horizons  I can feel the waves and they’re rising  Boy overboard I navigate through all of my emotions The warning lights are flashing now  I fear I’m going under The wind has blown away the skyline  Boy overboard…Boy overboard

Something to Believe In  Your smile it just floats me through the day  It’s your smile that drives me crazy Our lives they came together for one reason  You gave me something to believe in You’re something to believe in   Every day with you it’s something new Every night with you, I must be dreaming   Right now every little thing is gonna be ok 'Cause you and I were meant to be baby in some kinda love This time your heart is mine and mine is yours  Baby it’s you that I adore ooohhh Yeah 'cause you’re just something to believe in.    Every day with you, something new Something to believe in Every night with you, I must be dreaming Something to believe in I know things are gonna work I'm gonna make damn sure  I'm done I'm tired of waiting You’re just something to believe in You’re something to believe in   Every day with you it just be something new Every night with you, I must be dreaming Every day with you is something new Something to believe in Every night with you I just must be dreaming Something to believe in…

STRETCH I’ve been waiting on the morning  So I can see you in the sunlight my little darling You are you’re everything I hoped for  With the ocean in your eyes and the sun on your skin without a warning   I’ve been walking down the beach and the sun shines over me This little love we got going on well it’s alright  Baby we can take our time whoa and I’lI be feeling fine  'Cause I hold you in this moment we got and we can stretch it all night   I’ve been just waiting on the evening So I can see you in the moonlight like I’ve been dreaming  You are, you’re everything I hoped for Like I known you for a long time still want more   I’ve been walking down the beach and the sun shines over me This little love we got going on...it’s alright  Baby we can take our time whoa I’ll be feeling fine I hold you in this moment we got and we can stretch it all night   I could buy a ticket come and visit you in the fall  I could get your number but girl you better answer my calls  When summer rolls around will you find your way  Back to the Island to shine your light on my day   I’ve been walking down the beach and the sun shines over me This little love we got going on...it’s alright  Baby we can take our time ohh I be feeling fine  I’ll hold you in this moment we got and we can stretch it all night

More 03:01

MORE Started out with a question I was flattered She didn't dance at all, would I dance with her She tore herself apart how could I say no Wasn't one for self esteem but check her halo She's never been one to rely on others She needs a friend, not a lover   Keep this feeling close But it’s gonna slip away Never forget the feeling that I felt with her The grip of her fingers on the back of my hand tell me She deserves more The whole night I felt awkward should I be there She said this was a big mistake she shouldn't either One step on the dance floor I was taken I've never seen an angel dance but where had I been Never been one to rely on others She needs a friend, not a lover   Keep this feeling close But it’s gonna slip away Never forget the feeling that I felt with her The grip of her fingers on the back of my hand tells me She deserves more   I got a sense of her world The curves of her smile draw me close but I can’t She deserves more

Big Bright Sunny Day It’s my time  I’m in my place  It’s gonna be a big bright sunny day  It could take a tidal wave  To get me out of this place  Have to sweep me off my feet and take me out to sea  Things are gonna be alright this time If you got a reason let it shine Time to be on the sunny side of life Not a single cloud up in the sky Looking at the people passing by Not a single reason to have a bad vibe   Things looking up now Things looking up now (wouldn’t you say) Things looking up now It’s a big bright sunny day   Streets are filled with green lights Not a single stop sign Not one speed bump to slow me down I’m underneath a shade tree Thinking 'bout what made me Smile as bright as this new day, what do you say 2x Things looking up now Things looking up now (wouldn’t you say) Things looking up now It’s a big bright sunny day   I’ve been feeling alive  Not a cloud in the sky  I’ll be keeping up my stride   Watching people passing by  No one looking for bad vibes  Walking on the sunny side of life    2x Things looking up now Things looking up now (wouldn’t you say) Things looking up now It’s a big bright sunny day   It’s a big bright sunny day  Things are gonna go my way  Don’t matter what anybody says

Saturday Night 03:36

Saturday Night One more hour at the diner  She’s gotta do the dishes and she’s trying to find her way out She hopes it’s not another long night One last person at the table And all he wants is coffee and time to read his paper Monday morning comes he’s back at his desk Another day lost with a tie around his neck   She locks the door and spins the sign What’s he waiting for yeah it's closing time   She wants to go dancing it’s Saturday Night She wants to get down on the dance floor She wants to go dancing it’s Saturday night Ain’t that what the Saturdays are for   He looks at her and up from his paper She’s bringing him the bill and she takes away the shakers He feels the night closing way too fast  Ain't done a damn thing about it for the very last time. So he picks up the check he hopes that what happens next Doesn't make her blush, he starts to rush as he walks up to her counter   She seems a little surprised when he says to her  I know this club right down the street, I'm sure   That we can go dancing it’s Saturday Night You wanna get down on the dance floor Yeah let’s go dancing it's Saturday night Ain't that what the Saturdays are for   Hear the music let it take you dancing   Feel the music let it take you dancing Hear the music let it take you dancing   Feel the music let it take you dancing   Yeah let's go dancing it's Saturday night I wanna get down on the dance floor Yeah let's go dancing it's Saturday night Ain't that what the Saturdays are for Yeah let’s go dancing it's Saturday Night You wanna get down on the dance floor Yeah let’s go dancing it's Saturday Night Ain't that what the Saturdays are for Ain't that what the Saturdays are for Ain't that what the Saturdays are for Ain't that what the Saturdays are for

Drinking Song  Bring back the bottle let's have one more round my friends Having such a good time I don’t want this night to end It’s so easy to love this island The weather the pleasure the people Best place I’ve ever been    Sun has set but the night is young Rest of the world can’t be having this much fun Raise our glass and let's all celebrate  Our heads are pounding and our livers are drowning We are feeling great    'Cause we’ll be drinking all night long  Reaching for our money and all our pesos are gone Someone buy us a round Take a tequila from a senorita  We’ll pass the bottle around   At the tiki bar all my friends are here Came down for one week and now it’s been a year Pina coladas and the island breeze Good friends and laughs and rum in our glass  Why would we ever leave   'Cause we’ll be drinking all night long  Reaching for our money and all our pesos are gone Someone buy us a round Take a tequila from a senorita and we’ll pass the bottle around   Looks like morning coming 'round my friends  Last call for alcohol here’s to the time we spent  Like I said I wish this night would never end So I’ll see you tomorrow and we can do this all over again.    We’ll be drinking all night long  Reaching for our money and our pesos are gone Someone buy us a round Take a tequila from a senorita and we’ll pass the bottle around We’ll be drinking all night long  Reaching for our money and our pesos are gone Someone buy the band a round Take a tequila from a senorita and we’ll pass the bottle around Like I said I wish this night would never end So I’ll see you tomorrow and we can do this all over again.

Inside 03:18

INSIDE  I’ve been traveling far  You can stay where you are  When will you hear the call  I’m hardly there at all    Why do I spend the whole night chasing shadows that hide  I can see you from the tail of my eye  No one will ever be left to decide  Where I’m going to Inside    I have been through it all  Took on the world I answered the call  But that was yesterday How did it fade away   Why do I spend the whole night chasing shadows that hide  I can see you from the tail of my eye  No one will ever be left to decide  Where I’m going to Inside

This moment would prove to be a watershed in Justin's life when during a yearlong recovery his grandma gave him a guitar and his first song was born. ... more
