Colourblind lyrics - Darius

Feeling blue

When I'm trying to forget the feeling that I miss you

Feeling green

When the jealousy swells and it won't go away and dreams

Feeling yellow

I'm confused inside

A little hazy but mellow

When I feel your eyes on me

Feeling fine

It's sublime

When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Nobody told me it feels so good

Nobody said you'd be so beautiful

Nobody warned me about your smile

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

I'm colourblind

You make me colourblind

Feeling red

When you spend all your time with your friends and not me instead

Feeling black

When I think about all of the things that I feel I lack

Feeling jaded

When it's not gone right

All the colours are faded

Then I feel your eyes on me

Feeling fine

It's sublime

When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Nobody told me it feels so good

Nobody said you'd be so beautiful

Nobody warned me about your smile

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

I'm colourblind

You make me colourblind

Blinded by the light, you shine

The colours fade completely

Blinded by you every time

I feel your smile defeat me

I'm colourblind

I just can't deny this feeling

Nobody told me it feels so good

Nobody said you'd be so beautiful

Nobody warned me about your smile

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

I'm colourblind

Nobody told me it feels so good

Nobody said you'd be so beautiful

Nobody warned me about your smile

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

I'm colourblind

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

You make me colourblind

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

You make me colourblind

You're the light, you're the light

When I close my eyes

I'm colourblind

Nobody told me it feels so good

Rushes lyrics - Darius

She’s got a blind smile and a soft touch

A cute little dimple when she laughs too much

They say you fall hard when you meet her

Such is her allure

She’s got a quick wit and a fast tongue

But she doesn’t seem to know that she’s the one

They say she cheats charm when she whispers

She’s devilishly pure

You’d see if you knew her

She doesn’t know

But its time I told her so

When I see your blushes

From a compliment of mine it touches

Something inside I’m getting rushes

The adrenaline rushes

And I'm fascinated

That you really don’t know how to take it

When I look at you that way you feel naked

And I’m so into you

I’m getting rushes

She’s about five nine

Got a sexy stride

With long tanned legs that she shouldn’t hide

With a fine air of innocence

Nonchalance in every move

She’s a sweet sensation tease temptation

She looks good enough to eat

She’s a fallen angel with a devilish streak

And so they say

Like with like will finally meet

You’d see if you knew her

She doesn’t know

But its time I told her so

When I see your blushes

From a compliment of mine it touches

Something inside I’m getting rushes

The adrenaline rushes

And I'm fascinated

That you really don’t know how to take it

When I look at you that way you feel naked

And I’m so into you

I’m getting rushes

WhenI like it I want more

And I like it and I want more

And I like it and I want more

Never felt it like this before

It’s more than adrenaline rushes

It’s the touch and the smell of skin rushes

Some call it love at first sight

I call it butterflies

When I see your blushes

From a compliment of mine it touches

Something inside I’m getting rushes

The adrenaline rushes

And I'm fascinated

That you really don’t know how to take it

When I look at you that way you feel naked

And I’m so into you

I’m getting rushes

Incredible (What I Meant To Say) lyrics - Darius

You said its over

I said "that's ok

I wasn't in to you anyway"

I told you "lately

you irritate me your laugh is too loud

you're the last girl I'd look at

if you were in a crowd"

Could you tell?

I was lying and hiding the truth away

and what I really wanted to say

[CHORUS:]

is you are incredible you are amazing

you blow my mind one of a kind

I'm having a meltdown

you are incredible you are amazing

but sometimes telling the truth

is easier said than done,

"don't leave baby" -

now that's what I meant to say

"My worlds not ending I'll be just fine"

That's what my mouth said

but not what I felt inside

I told you "baby,

your not the answer to all of my prayers

cos I like my girlfriends in short skirts with longer hair"

could you tell?

I was lying and hiding the truth away

and what I really wanted to say

[CHORUS]

Well I said I didn't care about what you felt about me

couldn't care less about what I said or done

I didn't mean it - its not what I meant to say

you know the truth is that I care

about what you think about me

maybe too much, I've been puttin' on a front

I didn't mean it - and what I meant to say

is you are incredible you are amazing

you blow my mind one of a kind

I'm having a meltdown

you are incredible you are amazing

but sometimes telling the truth

is easier said than done, yeah yeah

telling the truth is easier said than done.

Can't you see

telling the truth is easier said than done.

"Don't leave baby" now that's what I meant to say

Girl In The Moon lyrics - Darius

How can I sleep tonight?

Tell me how mars survived

Fallen with stars -

She opened her arms...

Venus was in my sky.

How could it pass me by?

You silently served my time,

Even thru chains,

Rust and the rain -

You pulled away the tide...

Girl In The Moon,

I'm half-way there,

Girl In The Moon,

I see you everywhere...

Help me find a way of falling

Closer to you,

Girl In The Moon,

Girl In The Moon...

How could I weep tonight?

Touch and tears collide -

Gravity spins

Me into your wings,

And covers me in

your light...

[Chorus]

You're the silent silver

lining my cloud

You're the secret flame

That never burns out,

Pull away this veil

And rise into view

Girl in the moon...

[Chorus]

I'm Not Buying lyrics - Darius

So many times we find ourselves here -

Looking just about anywhere

But in each others eyes,

I'm wondering why...

So many chances brushed then wasted,

So many matches almost won in injury time -Nobody cried...

We're kicking pieces out of each other,

Instead of kicking the pain in our hearts -

Where do we start?

Well we can reach,

And we can climb,

And we can turn this ship around in time -

That's why I'm holding out for you

(I'm not buying that it's over)

You can tell me anything

(But I'm not buying that it's broken)

So many fixes come too easy,

Leave us so unsatisfied -

Chasing the kite, addicted to high...

So many patches we have worn,

So many promises left still born -

We're so blind, we kill more than time

Intoxicated, drowning each other -

Instead of drowning the pain in our hearts...

Where do we start?

[Chorus]

We'll walk with innocence

We'll leave the ignorance

We'll run together, let's break this silence...

Don't wanna fight no more,

Wanna feel the light some more,

Let's run together and break this silence...

I'm holding out for you,

Reaching out for you,

No way that this is through -

If we just If we just

We can reach, we can reach

[Chorus]

Dive In lyrics - Darius

So what's it all about?

I can't work you out...

There's a chemistry between us Getting hard to disguise -

Still you're holding back,

Some kind of panic attack -

Treading water when you

Really should be turning the tide...

Don't spend a lifetime waiting,

Don't tell me no -

Just let go...

If you want it, then you got it -

Don't let this moment pass you by,

Take a long shot,

Give it all you got -

You'll never know unless you try,

You can only sink or swim,

Baby, just dive in...

So what's the worse thing

That could be happening?

(You test the water and you

find that it's a little too hot)

But I'm imagining,

The taste of salt on your skin -

Make your move, you gotta choose - Are you ready or not?

Don't waste a lifetime waiting,

You know its now -

So turn around...

[Chorus]

Just dive in, just dive in...

Let's dive in -

Into the blue; Into the deep;

Into the mood tonight

Dive In...

[Chorus]

Come with me -

Let's dive in...

I Gotta Know Tonight lyrics - Darius

I feel vulnerable, I'm scared...

I hang on every word like

Like there's a hidden meaning.

It caught me unprepared...

Now I'm climbing up the wall

That stands between us.

I keep hoping it's my

imagination,

Playing tricks with my heart

On this occasion,

I've just got this sinking

feeling

So whose gonna drown

Now the dams about to break?

Tell me if it's me

I gotta know...

I'm strong enough to tell you

That it's more than I can take -

I'm just hanging by a thread,

Gotta feeling I'm in over my head,

Can't wait until tomorrow...

Gotta know tonight.

I feel naked in your eyes

I'm so outta control feels like

I'm freewheeling

Are we running out of time?

I gotta find a way

To stop this feeling...

I keep hoping it's my

imagination,

Playing tricks with my heart

On this occasion,

I've just got this sinking

feeling

[Chorus]

Cos when you pull back the covers,

Its one way or the other,

Oh yeah,

It's getting closer to midnight -

I gotta go,

Can't wait until tomorrow...

I gotta know -

[Chorus]

Sliding Doors lyrics - Darius

Another Friday night,

And the week is over -

Got a bottle of wine

And a meal for one,

Never could have known

She was walkin with me in the rain.

Another back to back,

Down the escalator,

Beat the sliding doors

By a twist of fate,

Than a glance behind an

evening paper -

And there she was...

Lonely's gone -

Suddenly I got this feelin,

Lonely's gone -

I spin around,

Yeah Yeah

I've left the ground,

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Should I make a move?

Did she catch me falling?

What I got to lose?

Will she cut me dead?

Before I catch my breath,

Can't believe she's walking

Off my train...

Beat the sliding doors -

Is she gone? Don't lose her,

Gotta keep my head -

Someone taps my shoulder,

Then I spin around and

She's just smiling -

I guess she knows...

[Chorus]

Is this fate or happenstance?

Her design or my last chance?

I can't speak

Cos she takes my breath away...

So it's Friday night,

And the day is over,

Crack a bottle of wine,

Make a meal for two -

But there's no room on the

dining table...

Here we go, Here we go...

[Chorus]

Simple Like The Truth lyrics - Darius

I love you

You love me

But you never say that to me,

I want you

You want me

So how come I don't believe?

It's in the way you

kiss my face,

And in your every move...

[CHORUS]

Won't you tell me something

Simple Like the truth -

Even if it isn't "I love you"?

Won't you let me know your heart,

And lay me down...

Is it so hard to tell me?

"It's nothing,

Don't be stupid,"

How come you always

Say that to me?

"It's alright, take it easy,"

But easy is so hard to be...

It's in the way you

Brush me by,

The way that you make love...

[Chorus]

It's not that I'm weak

Baby I can't take it,

It's not that I'm blind -

I can see you fake it...

If you only knew

What I'm going thru -

Then you'd find the words to whisper

Or you'd find the strength to leave...

[Chorus]

I watch you

You're reading

But baby you're so hard to read -

I love you

You love me

But you never say that to me...

Better Than That lyrics - Darius

I thought I knew you

Better than I knew myself girl,

I thought I found you

Hiding in the strength that's in

your eyes,

But now I see you

Burning all the bridges in your world,

Now I feel you

Sinking in the quicksand of your lies -

Can't you see that you're slipping away?

Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?

(You're better than that…)

[CHORUS]

Better than that

Stronger than that

(You're worth much more)

You're better than that

And you can turn back

(What's tried is torn)

Better than that

Stronger than that

(You're worth much more)

I'm telling you its killing you

It's drowning you, it's spilling you over

(What's tried is torn)

I thought you knew how

To chase away the demons of

blind trust,

I thought you knew now

It's all about temptation

Changed by choice,

But girl you're crazy -

You're hanging onto reasons

Turned to rust,

You're eyes are hazy,

You've gone and lost the velvet

In your voice -

Can't you see that you're slipping away?

Can't you hear what I'm trying to say?

(You're better than that…)

[Chorus]

I told you once, I told you twice

I told you baby

Now there's nothing more to say -

I'm missing the girl I knew,

While kissing the broken you,

But it's not up to me...

So don't back, face up to the facts

And you can turn back -

You're better than that.

Better than that, stronger than that,

Wiser than that, bigger than that

You're better than the devil in you

Tellin you how, pulling you down,

Spilling you ??- but it's up to you

Mocking Bird lyrics - Darius

He tells you when,
He tells you why,
He tells you wherefore -
What to do and how it's done,
And how to be for him -
It's all about control,
It's all about control.
You're his life,
You're his strength,
But he's you're weakness,
He knows you care,
Knows you give,
But he couldn't care less -
He fits you to his mould,
Chipping at you soul...

[CHORUS]
It tears me up
To see the way that he treats you,
To see the way that he brings you
down and down -
He's turning you inside out,
It breaks me up
To see the way that you take it,
To see the way that he spins you
round and round
Turning you upside down...
Mocking bird,
Mocking bird...

Afraid to leave,
Afraid to lose,
Afraid of living -
You turn to him,
You turn to me,
But it lies in you -
It's waiting to be found,
It's waiting to be found,
So feel your heart,
Feel your pain,
Feel your anger,
If you fight the fear,
find the words -
You'll find the answer...
Like a cat held upside down,
You'll land feet on the ground...

[Chorus]

You never know
What life will bring -
Trust your spirit
Find your wings,
Find your voice
And let it sing
Let it sing...

[Chorus]

Mercury Rising lyrics - Darius

Eleven days,
A dozen nights,
A thousand tears...
And you are my shoulder.
From summer's haze, on morning light,
The sun is rising...
Just like I told you.

[CHORUS]
If you fall -
I'll never let your spirit break,
If you call -
I'll always soothe the cries you make,
If it's all I can do -
I'll slowly kiss your dreams awake
You're not alone for heavens sake,
Mercury Rising

From winter skies,
A cold embrace -
The shadows meet,
And they drag you under...
The moonlight's mine
And yours to chase -
Your star is rising,
Beyond your wonder...

[Chorus]

You're not alone for heaven sake
Your tears run so freely,
Your fears run so deeply down...
The pressure is breaking -
Quicksilver awaking now...
Can you feel it rise?
Can you see it rise?
Droplets of dreams
That you touched, disappear...
There's change in the weather,
And wind in your hair,
And Mercury's rising,
Mercury's rising
Rising...
Rising...
Rising...
Mercury's rising...

Eleven days,
A dozen nights,
A thousand tears...
And you are my shoulder.
From summer's haze, on morning light,
The sun is rising...
Just like I told you
