Lyrics

1. a song to celebrate our love


took my guitar and i wrote for you
don’t think i could do much better than this
you asked me for it and so here it is
(oh, come on, please)
a song to celebrate our love

love…

maybe you never would have had the guts
if i hadn’t been the one to move first
but i’m so happy that i took the plunge
now we can celebrate our love

love…

2. the booze

came to know you one night at a bar
one beer, two beers, three beers
you’re telling me the story of your life
and i don’t really want to hear it
i have only just met you

as the booze sinks in
the air becomes unbearable
as the booze sinks in
the air becomes unbearable
in here

came to hate you that night at the bar
four beers, five beers, six beers
i can’t stand it anymore
so i left early that night and you stayed
drinking your lonely glass
as i walked away

once the booze sunk in
the air became unbearable
once the booze sunk in
the air became unbearable
in there

3. scared for you

once i was scared for you
now i am scared of you
is it ever going to be okay?

i’m all torn up inside
i’m thinking run and hide
i never thought it would end this way

millions of seconds right up to that moment of craziness
i do not think i’ll be able to give it all up just yet

out in the cold again
wondering out loud again
i owe it to you that i am back here

called my friends for advice
am i paying some price
was it my fault that you disappeared

millions of seconds right up to that moment of craziness
i do not think i’ll be able to give it all up just yet

4. search skin deep

finally i understand
what it’s like not to hold your hand
finally i know how it feels

heartbreak of mine won’t you leave me behind
won’t you let me go on with my life?

i will have to search skin deep
for the shallow life i seek

maybe it will take someone
without a trace of innocence
maybe it will just take a moment

heartbreak of mine won’t you leave me behind
won’t you let me go on with my life?

i will have to search skin deep
for the shallow life i seek

5. are you going to make me sorry?

there are things that i don’t know
and i’m fine with it
concepts i can’t even grasp
it’s okay

but there are things that i can’t bare
others i just do not dare to ask you

are you going to make me happy?
are you going to make me angry?
are you going to make me sorry?
sorry

there are things that i just don’t understand
like what exactly were you after when you held my hand

and there are things that i can’t bare
others i just do not dare to ask you

are you going to make me happy?
are you going to make me angry?
are you going to make me sorry?
sorry
