Play That Music
[Intro]
Say, hey!
(Quick!)
Turn up the music!
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Turn the lights down low
Let the feeling grow
Every note is calling
To the heart and soul
When the rhythm moves
There is nothing left to lose
We can dance forever
In these midnight grooves
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the bassline roll
Feel it take control
Every voice together
Like a river flowing home
[Chorus]
Play that music
(Sweet, sweet music)
It’s like magic
(Sweet’s complete)
Play that music
(Lift me higher)
Feel the fire
(Burning bright tonight)
[Verse 2]
When the morning comes
We’ll still be holding on
To the sound that carried
Us the whole night long
Every drumbeat falls
Like an echo through the walls
And the melody reminds us
Why we gave our all
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the guitars sing
Hear the whole world ring
Every dream is rising
On the wings the music brings
[Chorus]
Play that music
(Sweet, sweet music)
It’s like magic
(Completes sweet)
Play that music
(Lift me higher)
Feel the fire
(Burning bright tonight)
[Bridge]
Oh, the night keeps turning
(And the stars keep burning)
With a song inside our hearts
(We will never fall apart)
Oh, the beat keeps pounding
(And the love keeps sounding)
A memory we can keep
(A place where souls run deep)
[Breakdown]
Play that music
(Play it all night long)
Play that music
(Keep the feeling strong)
[Final Chorus]
Play that music
(Sweet, sweet music)
It’s like magic
(Sweet’s complete)
Play that music
(Lift me higher)
Feel the fire
(Burning bright tonight)
[Outro]
Play that music
(Sweet, sweet music)
Play that music
(Sweet’s complete)
Sweet
[Intro]
I’m here to report
(Life is short)
Make it sweet
(With every new day you greet)
[Verse 1]
Morning light slips through the blinds
Another chance to change your mind
All the plans you left behind
Can still be yours in time
You can carry all that weight
Or set it down before it’s late
[Pre-Chorus]
Every second disappears
Every heartbreak, every year
All the noise, all the fear
Fades when love is near
[Chorus]
I’m here to report
(Life is short)
Make it sweet
(With every new day you greet)
Don’t let it slip away
(There’s so much more to say)
Hold on to every beat
(And make it sweet)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Make it complete
(Same drummer… different beat)
[Verse 2]
Late at night beneath the stars
We forget just who we are
Chasing every distant spark
Through the dark
All the things you thought you’d lose
Were only there for you to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road becomes a sign
Every wound becomes a line
In the story of your life
You survive
[Chorus]
I’m here to report
(Life is short)
Make it sweet
(With every new day you greet)
Don’t let it slip away
(There’s so much more to say)
Hold on to every beat
(And make it sweet)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Make it complete
(Don’t retreat)
Every stranger that you meet
Every bitter, every sweet
(Is a rhythm underneath)
[Final Chorus]
I’m here to report
(Life is short)
Make it sweet
(With every new day you greet)
Stay light on your feet
(Every soul you meet)
Love is all you keep
(So make it sweet)
[Outro]
Make it sweet
(Make it sweet)
With every new day you greet
(Sweet, sweet, sweet)
…And Sour
[Intro]
Ohhh the power
(Of sweet and sour)
[Verse 1]
Candy on the tip of your tongue
Bittersweet songs still left unsung
Sugar rush running through the night
Lemon twist burning soft and bright
Every note has a taste somehow
Every moment belongs to now
A little honey, a little fire
That is how we climb higher
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it slow
(Then let it go)
Sweet like summer rain
(Sharp like winter snow)
It’s hard to explain…
[Chorus]
Best of both worlds
(Sweet… and sour!)
The savor of flavor unfolds
(It’s our hour)
Sweet in the morning light
(Sour in the neon night)
Mix it up and turn it loud
(Taste the flavor of the crowd)
[Verse 2]
Cherry red and citrus gold
Some things warm and some things cold
Every beat can change its shape
Like a song on a mixtape
One more taste and one more sound
Spinning everything around
From the soft to the extreme
Living somewhere in between
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it high
(Into the sky)
Sweet like falling stars
(Sharp like a battle cry)
Between Venus and Mars
[Chorus]
Best of both worlds
(Sweet… and sour!)
The savor of flavor unfolds
(It’s our hour)
Sweet in the morning light
(Sour in the neon night)
Mix it up and turn it loud
(Taste the flavor of the crowd)
[Bridge]
A little sugar
(Take it further)
A little spice
(A little danger)
Feels so nice
(A whole lot stranger)
Sweet and sour side by side
(Feel the rhythm of the ride)
Every flavor, every sound
(Lifts us up and spins us ’round)
[Breakdown]
Sweet
(And sour)
Sweet
(And louder)
Feel the power
[Final Chorus]
Best of both worlds
(Sweet… and sour!)
The savor of flavor unfolds
(It’s our hour)
Sweet in the morning light
(Sour in the neon night)
Mix it up and turn it loud
(Taste the flavor of the crowd)
[Outro]
Sweet… and sour
(It’s our hour)
Sweet… and sour
(Turn it louder)
Feel our power
(Turned up louder!)
What About Peace?
[Intro]
Everybody’s looking for a reason
(Got to be the season)
Everybody’s searching for a sign
(About our time)
Maybe what the world needs now
(You know… knowhow)
Yes! A little peace of mind
(A little piece of kind)
[Verse 1]
Everybody talking loud again
Drawing lines that never end
Too much anger in the street
Too many marching to a different beat
We can turn it all around
If we lift instead of bring down
One more voice can make a start
One more hand can change a heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath
Take a stand
Reach across with an open hand
There is still a better way
If we choose it here today
[Chorus]
What about a piece of peace
(With some love and understanding)
Come on! Let it out – (Release!)
Release, release
(With love commanding)
Break the chains and free the soul
(Bring the broken back to whole)
What about a piece of peace
(For every woman, child, and man)
I’m for that… yes, yes I am!
[Verse 2]
Every nation, every town
Too many people feeling down
Too much fear and too much blame
Too many faces with no name
We can be the change we need
Planting hope like a seed
One kind word can light the spark
One bright flame can cut the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
(Forego death)
Take a breath
(Take a stand)
Reach across with an open hand
(There is still a better way)
If we choose it here today
[Chorus]
What about a piece of peace
(With some love and understanding)
Come on! Let it out – (Release!)
Release, release
(With love commanding)
Break the chains and free the soul
(Bring the broken back to whole)
What about a piece of peace
(For every woman, child, and man)
[Bridge]
No more walls
(No big balls)
No more hate
(No more saying it’s too late)
We can rise above the fear
(We can make a difference here)
Hear!
(Side by side and hand in hand)
We can come to understand
[Breakdown]
Peace
(Release)
Love
(Release)
Hope
(Release)
Now
(Wow!)
[Final Chorus]
What about a piece of peace
(With some love and understanding)
Come on! Let it out – (Release!)
Release, release
(With love commanding)
Break the chains and free the soul
(Bring the broken back to whole)
What about a piece of peace
(For every woman, child, and man)
Man,
(Understand?)
[Outro]
Piece of peace
(Release)
Piece of peace
(With love commanding)
Understanding
(Love above)
About the Song
The new release of the day, “What About Peace?”, is about finding a piece of peace in a world that often feels divided and overwhelmed. It was written and recorded on my favorite acoustic guitar and reflects the inspiration that instrument always seems to bring.
The song grew out of the idea that peace is not just some distant political goal, but something personal that begins with everyday choices: “Take a breath / Take a stand / Reach across with an open hand.” The lyrics focus on releasing anger, fear, and division, while replacing them with love, understanding, and hope.
Lines like “Break the chains and free the soul / Bring the broken back to whole” are meant to suggest that healing starts with compassion and connection. The song is ultimately about believing that even one kind word, one open hand, or one voice can help make the world a little better.

Bittersweet
[Intro]
Bittersweet
(Bittersweet)
Bittersweet
(Bittersweet)
[Verse 1]
You came in like a lightning strike
Half so wrong but half so right
One hand fire, one hand ice
One kiss danger, one kiss nice
Every smile comes with a twist
Every touch too hard to resist
Like a shadow in neon light
Keeping me up all through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot tell
If it’s heaven or hell
But I know I’m under your spell
[Break – Spoken Word]
Bittersweet
[Chorus]
Are you a trick
(Or are you a treat)
More black magic
(Or make me complete)
Sweet like sugar on my lips
Sharp like poison in a kiss
Are you heaven, are you heat
Bittersweet
[Verse 2]
You can make the cold feel hot
Turn the little into a lot
One touch spins me upside down
One glance lifts me off the ground
Like a rose with hidden thorns
Like a song that plays till dawn
Every high can leave me low
Still I never let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot tell
If it’s heaven or hell
But I know I’m under your spell
Bittersweet
(Sweet, sweet, sweet?)
[Chorus]
Are you a trick
(Or are you a treat)
More black magic
(Or make me complete)
Sweet like sugar on my lips
Sharp like poison in a kiss
Are you heaven, are you heat
Bittersweet
[Bridge]
Every sweet has something sour
(Every dark can hide a flower)
Every flame can leave a scar
(Still I love you as you are)
You can break me, you can heal
(You can make the dream feel real)
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Chorus]
Are you a trick
(Or are you a treat)
More black magic
(Or make me complete)
Sweet like sugar on my lips
Sharp like poison in a kiss
Are you heaven, are you heat
Bittersweet

Sweet Nothings
[Intro]
Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Whispering (Sweet nothings)
[Verse 1]
Late at night beneath the lights
You move close and hold me tight
Every word falls soft and slow
Like a secret only we know
Velvet sounds inside my head
Every little thing you said
Half a dream and half a song
Pulling me the whole night long
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to me
Soft and low
Like a river
Let it flow
Every whisper
Every touch
Never seems like quite enough
[Build]
Talk to me
Don’t let go
Pull me deeper
Nice and slow

Spin me around
Lift me higher
Off the ground
Sweet! (Nothing)
Sweet! (Something)
Sweet! (Anything)
If it makes you sing….
[Verse 2]
Neon shadows on the wall
You don’t have to say it all
Every silence says enough
Wrapped in mystery and love
One more look and one more smile
Makes the whole room come alive
Like a melody set free
You keep echoing in me
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to me
Soft and low
Like a river
Let it flow
Every whisper
Every touch
Never seems like quite enough
Talk to me
Stay with me
In the dark
Where we can be free
[Bridge]
Whispering
(Sweet nothings)
Whispering

Like a prayer
Like a secret in the air

Spot
[Intro]
Everybody wants a piece
(A little chaos, a little peace)
Not too high, not too low
(Just enough to steal the show)
Somewhere between too much and not enough
Is where the magic starts
[Build]
Come on now
(Right here, right now)
Let’s search for it
(A bit…)
[Verse 1]
Something they can’t ignore
Push too hard and lose the plot
But not tonight, no not tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Too fast and you burn out
(Too slow and you fade out)
Somewhere in between
(Is where the sparks come clean)
[Chorus]
Oh, come on we aught
(To hit the sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Hit the sweet spot)
Right on the line
(Where the stars align)
Not too cold, not too hot
(Hit the sweet spot)
[Verse 2]
Every move is give and take
Every chance is yours to make
Don’t overthink every shot
Just let it roll, just let it roll
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build with Toms, Organ Swell]
Too loud and it falls flat
(Too quiet and that’s that)
Somewhere in the sound
(Is where we’re finally found)
[Chorus]
Oh, come on we aught
(To hit the sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Hit the sweet spot)
Right on the line
(Where the stars align)
Not too cold, not too hot
(Hit the sweet spot)
[Bridge]
Dead center
(Full measure)
No pressure
(Pure pleasure)
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Oh, come on we aught
(To hit the sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Hit the sweet spot)
Everything we’ve got
(Give it all we’ve got)
Right here on the dot
(We hit the sweet spot)
[Outro]
Sweet spot
(Sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Sweet spot)
Nectar
[Intro]
Turn it up, let it roll
(Feel that rhythm take control)
One more spark, one more chord
(Open up the door)
[Spoken Vocal]
Come on now… play it again
[Verse 1]
You hit the strings and light the room
Everything starts to bloom
Every note comes rushing through
Like a wave I can’t get loose from
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it in the air
(Everybody everywhere)
Starts moving to the sound
(The moment you come around)
[Bridge]
When you play that guitar
(It’s like sweet nectar)
You can take it so far
(And make it better)
Every note leaves a mark
(We remember)
When you play that guitar
(It’s like sweet nectar)
[Chorus]
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
Once the sweet nectar
(Begins to flow)
Turn it up real loud
(Steal the show)
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
Show that you know
(Let ‘er blow)
[Verse 2]
Late night underneath the lights
Everything feels so right
You don’t even have to speak
Your guitar says it all to me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Tom Fills, Rising Organ]
Every rhythm, every bend
(Makes me want to move again)
Like a fire in the dark
(You can feel it when it starts)
[Bridge]
When you play that guitar
(It’s like sweet nectar)
Burning brighter than the stars
(And getting better)
Every chord goes straight to the heart
(Like forever)
When you play that guitar
(It’s like sweet nectar)
[Chorus]
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
Once the sweet nectar
(Begins to flow)
Everybody in the crowd
(Let’s hear how loud!)
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
[Final Chorus]
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
Once the sweet nectar
(Begins to flow)
Straight into the night
(Full throttle)
Let’s see how far
(We can go)
[Outro]
Sweet nectar
(Sweet, sweet)
Sweet nectar
(Sweet, sweet)
Come on now
(Find out how)
Let it flow
(Let it go)
Heart
[Intro]
You walked in like a lightning strike
Turned the room electric bright
Everybody stepped aside
The moment you caught my eye
[Spoken Vocal]
Yeah… I knew right then
(This was when)
[Verse 1]
You came in hot like summer heat
Knocking me right off my feet
Every little thing you do
Makes me want to run with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word, every smile
Makes me lose my mind awhile
Like a fire burning through
Everything I thought I knew
[Chorus]
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
You are perfect for the part
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
Like a rhythm in the dark
(You hit me like a spark)
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
[Verse 2]
Late night driving through the town
Windows open, music loud
You keep laughing in the dark
Like a match inside my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Every turn, every mile
Only makes me want to smile
Like a song I can’t forget
You’re the best thing that I’ve met
[Chorus]
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
You are perfect for the part
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
Every beat inside my heart
(Only pulls me where you are)
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
[Bridge]
You got the look
You got the style
You got me running every mile
You got the touch
You got the sound
You turn my whole world upside down
[Final Chorus]
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
You are perfect for the part
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
Like a fire in the dark
(You keep lighting up my heart)
I knew it right from the start
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
[Outro]
Sweet, sweet, sweetheart
(Sweet, sweet, sweetheart)
Yeah, yeah
(Sweet, sweet)
Sweetheart
No, Not Sweat
[Intro]
Did you say sweat?
(No, not sweat…)
Sweet!
(Repeat)
Sweet!
[Verse 1]
I heard you laugh across the floor
Like thunder rolling through the door
Everybody turned to see
But you were looking straight at me
Every word was sugar slow
Every glance began to glow
Like a spark inside the night
Everything just felt so right
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I hear that right?
Did you say my name?
Was it just the music
Or a different game?
Every whisper in the beat
Pulls me closer to the heat
[Chorus]
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please don’t regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
Every word you say
(Knocks me off my feet)
No, it’s not the heat
(It’s just that you’re so sweet)
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please no regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
[Verse 2]
Neon shining in your hair
Electric laughter in the air
Every step you take tonight
Turns the dark into a light
Half a dream and half a spark
Dancing circles in the dark
Every rhythm in your voice
Makes my spinning heart rejoice
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I hear you right?
Did you say my name?
Was it just the night…
Or a sweeter game?
Every whisper in the beat
Pulls me closer to the heat
[Chorus]
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please don’t regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
Every word you say
Knocks me off my feet
No, it’s not the heat
It’s just that you’re so sweet
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please don’t regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Maybe I misheard
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe it was just
Another midnight song
Sweet… sweet… sweet…
[Build]
[Final Chorus]
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please don’t regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
Every word you say
Knocks me off my feet
No, it’s not the heat
It’s just that you’re so sweet
Did you say I sweat?
(No… you’re sweet)
Oh, please don’t regret
(You’re oh so sweet)
[Outro]
Did you say sweat?
(No… not sweat…)
Sweet…
How Does It Taste?
In my haste…
(I forgot to taste)
Sweet…
(Sweet…)
Sweet…
[Verse 1]
You held it up for all to see
(Thought it was made just for me)
Shining bright beneath the light
(Calling to me through the night)
Every color, every sound
(Spinning slowly all around)
I was reaching much too fast
(Never thinking it would last)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was rushing
(Pushing too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering
(What’d I miss)
Still pondering
(A first kiss)
[Bridge]
Oh, the strife of life
(I forgot to take a bite)
Can you give me some insight
(Was it wrong or was it right?)
Did I miss the moment
Did it slip away
Did I miss the flavor
Carried away with savor
[Chorus]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(… a real delicious treat?)
Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)
How does it taste
(Did I let it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(A delicious treat?)
[Verse 2]
Now the room is growing dim
And the glass is near the rim
All the things I meant to say
Feel so far away today
Every second disappears
Leaving only little traces here
Like a flavor on the tongue
Gone before the song is sung
[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth build]
I was rushing
(Moving too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering
(What missed trips)
Left what’s pondering…
(Beyond my fingertips)
[Chorus]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(… a delicious treat?)
Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)
How does it taste
(Did I let it go to waste)
Was it sweet, sweet, sweet
(A real delicious treat?)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Maybe next time
(Take it in)
Know where to start
(… when to begin)
Savor every flavor
(Every sound that’s found)
Every little thing goin’ ’round
[Final Chorus]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Missed a beat so sweet
(A delicious treat?)
Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)
How does it taste
(Has it gone to waste)
The sweetest thing
(To pull a heartstring)
[Outro]
In my haste…
(I forgot to taste)
In my haste…
(I forgot to taste)
Too
Did you think it was sugar?
(Too sweet…)
Or artificial flavor?
[Intro Build]
Sweet…
(Too sweet…)
Sweet…
(Too, too sweet…)
[Verse 1]
She walked in like calories on fire
Burning through the room with desire
Every smile a little too bright
Every word a little too light
I chased the glow, I took the bait
Didn’t see the cracks in the plate
Every laugh, a subtle sting
Every touch, a dangerous thing
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted more
(That’s for sure)
I couldn’t see her
(Through all that glitter)
Hides the debris
(Too much honey)
Leaves a scar
(Should of let ‘er be)
… and stayed afar
[Chorus]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
All the sugar
(Turns to pain)
Should’ve stayed further
(From her vain)
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
[Verse 2]
Late night whispers, early regrets
Promises tangled in silhouettes
I thought it was heaven, I thought it was real
But every delight had its steal
Every kiss a little too sharp
Every glance a poisoned dart
I fell too fast, I gave too much
And got burned by her tender touch
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted more
(Then before)
I couldn’t see
(To let her be)
All that glitter
Hides debris
(Should have left her)
Way too much money
(Leaves a scar)
Left me silly
(Shouldn’t have strayed that far)
[Chorus]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
All the sugar
(Turns to pain)
Lost it’s flavor
(It was all in vain)
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Too sweet to handle
(Too fast to trust)
All ends in scandal
(Then turns to dust)
[Final Chorus]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
All the sugar
Turns to pain
Left me wanting
Nothing to gain
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)
[Outro]
Too sweet…
(Too sweet…)
Left a bad taste…
(What a waste)
Too sweet…
Dreams
[Spoken Vocal]
Sublime, serene scenes
(Have sweet dreams)
[Intro Build]
Sweet…
Sweet dreams…
Sweet…
Sweet dreams…
[Verse 1]
Stars are drifting through the night
Shadows dancing in soft light
Every moment slows the air
Every heartbeat lingers there
Whispered voices, soft and near
Calling out but crystal clear
Every thought a gentle stream
Flowing through a waking dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Close your eyes, let go
Float above the undertow
Every color, every gleam
Guides you through this lucid dream
[Chorus]
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
Drifting slowly through the night
Everything feels soft and right
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
[Verse 2]
Moonlight pouring through the glass
Time moves gently as we pass
Every shadow holds a tune
Every glow reflects the moon
Floating past a thousand lights
Through the quiet city nights
Every dream a tender place
Carved in time and soft embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth rise]
Close your eyes, let go
Float above the undertow
Every color, every gleam
Guides you through this lucid dream
[Chorus]
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
Drifting slowly through the night
Everything feels soft and right
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Float away
Through the haze
Let the night
Carry you always
Every shimmer
Every gleam
Every part of the dream
[Final Chorus]
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
Drifting slowly through the night
Everything feels soft and right
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)
[Outro]
Sublime, serene scenes
(Have sweet dreams)
Sublime, serene scenes
(Have sweet dreams)
Ness
[Spoken Vocal]
Among this mess
(You are the sweetness)
[Intro Build]
Sweetness…
Sweetness…
You are the sweetness…
[Verse 1]
In a world of broken glass
You were something built to last
Every shadow every strain
Fades away when you remain
When the noise is closing in
And the chaos starts again
You can calm the storm somehow
Bring me back to here and now
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little word you say
Takes the bitterness away
Every little thing you do
Pulls me closer back to you
When the world becomes a mess
You are still the sweetness
[Chorus]
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
You can turn the dark to light
You can make it feel alright
In the madness and distress
You are the sweetness
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
[Verse 2]
Every day can leave a scar
Push us both a little hard
But you find a way to shine
Even in the hardest times
Like a melody that stays
Lingering through all the haze
Every moment every breath
Keeps me from falling apart again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little word you say
Takes the bitterness away
Every little thing you do
Pulls me closer back to you
When the world becomes a mess
You are still the sweetness
[Chorus]
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
You can turn the dark to light
You can make it feel alright
In the madness and distress
You are the sweetness
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When everything is falling down
You are the one still standing now
When everything feels incomplete
You are the reason, you are the beat
[Final Chorus]
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
You can turn the dark to light
You can make it feel alright
In the madness and distress
You are the sweetness
Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
[Outro]
Among this mess
(You are the sweetness)
Among this mess
(You are the sweetness)
Talk
Sweet… sweet… sweettalk
(Sweet… sweet… sweettalk)
[Spoken Vocal]
She walks in slow
(Like she owns the show)
One look
(Is all it took)
Sweet… sweet… sweettalk
(Sweet… sweet… sweettalk)
[Verse 1]
You come drifting through the air
(Like a perfume… scent’s aware)
Everybody turns to stare
(Since you put the magic there)
You got diamonds in your smile
(You got danger in your style)
Every little move you make
(Makes the whole room start to shake)
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart… you tame
(You steal the air)
You say my name
(Like you really care)
I know you know
(Exactly what you do)
You got me hanging so
(Every word from you)
[Chorus]
You sure can walk the walk
(Better yet… your sweettalk)
Please, let’s hear you talk
(Sweet, sweet, sweettalk)
You know how to move my mind
(Leave the rest of the world behind)
One kiss… foundations rock
(When you start that sweettalk)
[Verse 2]
Every whisper every grin
(Pulls me deeper back again)
Like a melody in blue
(Everything comes back to you)
You don’t need an alibi
(Your eyes don’t lie)
I’m the first to believe
(With every word you relieve)
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing can be the same
(Once you fill the air)
You say my name
Like you really care
(I know you know)
Exactly what you do
(You make my heart go)
With every word from you
[Chorus]
You sure can walk the walk
(Better yet… your sweettalk)
Please, let’s hear you talk
(Sweet, sweet, sweettalk)
You know how to move my mind
(Leave the rest of the world behind)
One kiss and the room goes dark
(When you start that sweettalk)
[Bridge]
Talk all night
(Talk all day)
Spark the light
(That shines our way)
Takes us higher
(Every spark)
Lights a fire
(Through the dark)
[Final Chorus]
You sure can walk the walk
(Better yet… your sweettalk)
Please, let’s hear you talk
(Sweet, sweet, sweettalk)
You know how to move my mind
(Leave the rest of the world behind)
One kiss and the room goes dark
(When you start that sweettalk)
[Outro]
Sweet… sweet… sweettalk
(Sweet… sweet… sweettalk)
Keep on whispering
(Keeps the light flickering)
Sweet… sweet… sweettalk
Sorrow
[Spoken Vocal]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
Sweet (sorrow…)
Sweet (sorrow…)
Till tomorrow…
(I will miss)
… one last kiss?
[Verse 1]
Moonlight falling through the trees
You were standing next to me
Every word we tried to say
Only made it harder walking away
Every touch and every glance
Felt like one last chance
Like a story fading slow
With nowhere left to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Hold me just a while
Give me one more reason
One more fragile smile
Every second feels too small
Like we’re losing it all
[Verse]
Romeo,
You are my hero
(Juliet… I’ll never forget)
You were fire in the rain
You were pleasure mixed with pain
Every memory remains
Running circles through my veins
[Chorus]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
Every goodbye breaks my heart
(Still I know we’ll never part)
Every tear and every touch
(Makes me miss you twice as much)
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
[Verse 2]
Streetlights shimmer in the dark
Like tiny echoes of your spark
Every corner of this town
Feels a little emptier now
I can still hear your voice
In the silence and the noise
Every little thing you do
Still comes back to me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Hold me just a while
Give me one more reason
One more fragile smile
Every second feels too small
Like we’re losing it all
[Chorus]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
Every goodbye breaks my heart
(Still I know we’ll never part)
Every tear and every touch
(Makes me miss you twice as much)
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Maybe tomorrow
We’ll meet again
Maybe this story
Never really ends
Every heartbeat
Every sigh
Keeps you with me
Through the night
[Final Chorus]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
Every goodbye breaks my heart
(Still I know we’ll never part)
Every tear and every touch
(Makes me miss you twice as much)
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
[Outro]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)
Home, Sweet Home
[Spoken Vocal]
Every road has a memory
Every town leaves something behind
But there is always one place
You never really leave
[Intro Build]
Home… sweet home
Home… sweet home
[Verse 1]
Miles of highway in the rain
Different faces, different names
Suitcase full of yesterdays
Still somehow they all remain
Every town has different lights
Different bars and different nights
But every road comes back around
To the place where love is found
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the dark
Through the storm
There’s a fire
Keeping warm
No matter how far we may roam
Something always pulls us home
[Chorus]
No matter where we roam
(We’re home, sweet home)
No matter where we go
(We always know…)
… home, sweet home
(We’re home, sweet home)
Where the old memories live
And the heart still has room to give
No matter how long we’ve been gone
Home, sweet home
[Verse 2]
Photographs and creaking floors
Old screen doors and hardwood boards
Every mark upon the wall
Still remembers it all
Voices floating down the hall
Like they never left at all
Every laugh and every tear
Still feels close when we are here
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the years
Through the change
Somehow everything remains
No matter how far we may roam
Something always pulls us home
[Chorus]
No matter where we roam
(We’re home, sweet home)
No matter where we go
(We always know…)
… home, sweet home
(We’re home, sweet home)
Where the old memories live
And the heart still has room to give
No matter how long we’ve been gone
Home, sweet home
[Bridge]
Every road
Every mile
Every tear
Every smile
Leads us back
To where we belong
To the place we’ve known all along
[Final Chorus]
No matter where we roam
(We’re home, sweet home)
No matter where we go
(We always know…)
… home, sweet home
(We’re home, sweet home)
Where the old memories live
And the heart still has room to give
No matter how long we’ve been gone
Home, sweet home
Home, sweet home
(We’re home, sweet home)
Home, sweet home
(We’re home, sweet home)
[Outro]
No matter where we roam
We’re home, sweet home
