The Lyrics
01 THE ADVENTURER
I'm on a one-way track
I'm living on faith
Gonna get me some of what's out there
I’m headed to the places
Where I was dreaming I could go
Claim my treasure
Where my legend I will live
If I have the courage
Now I am an adventurer
Making my way around the world
I am an adventurer
Making my way around the world
I'm on my path
I’m doing my thing
Gonna see what
I've never seen before
I leave on my voyage
Early in the morning
Land, air, and sea
The storms could kill me
But if I make it out alive
I'll count my blessings
When I grow old
I will have learned a lot
From my times of struggle
And everywhere I've been
And when I look back at my adventures
My battles won and lost
My travels so far
That will make me smile
Before I take my last breath
I am an adventurer
I won't leave one stone unturned
I am an adventurer
I want the most from my experience
I am an adventurer
I'm making my way around the world
02 CAPTURE THE HEART
He's got a new song
He's been here since the early morning
A few dollars to start ain't too bad
It's been three years since he
Left his home he was lost in
To try out The Big Easy
Now he is working
Playing songs to the people
On the streets of New Orleans
The sun beats down on Bourbon
The sweat in his eyes is burning
His guitar he is strumming
He's trying to capture the hearts
Of anyone who will listen
He's got a song to play
Hear the horns playing
Hear the band sing "Hey Baby" on Jackson
Those oldies always get them dancing
They throw their tips in the bucket
Now they're working
Playing songs to the people
On the streets of New Orleans
The sun beats down on Chartres
The band plays off each other
When the trumpet gets louder
The crowd cheers
There's music in the air
Everybody comes to hear
When they've got a song to play
Tonight there's gonna be some Dixie
Out on the river
We'll be going down the Old Man singing
"When the Saints Go Marching In"
The moon shines bright on Frenchmen Street
The spirit runs higher than the levee
When the groove hits heavy
And the jam builds
You'll be feeling that sound
Buy another round
When they've got a song to play
03 MOVIE STAR
Something about the way it feels
When you are near
It's like I have nothing to fear
And you know I let my guard down
It takes a lot for me to do that
But that's the kind of power that you have
And it's a feeling that I can't deny
You got me now and I realize
What I want and what I need
Could you have the same need?
Could you love me?
Something about that smile on your face
It makes me happy
And it feels like home in your company
And you know just how to steal a heart
You could be a movie star
The light shines everywhere you are
You've got that special glow
Everybody wants to be around
04 CALM ME DOWN
Sometimes I get scared
These crazy thoughts are spinning in my head
My heart starts racing
That's when I need you the most
That's when I need you
Darlin' won't you help me calm down
When I'm all stressed out
I need the warmth of you in my arms
I need you to soothe my soul
Darlin' calm me down
Darlin' calm me
Sometimes I worry
Until the worrying takes all my precious time
I can't seem to ease my worried mind
That's when I need you the most
That's when I need you
I can't be alone tonight
Not tonight
05 LOVETOPIA
If I were a painter I'd paint you a world
One that we could live in
Away from this busy one
I'd put you in a sailboat
We'd sail out to the sea
Way out in the open blue skies
You and me
Singing la da da da da
Living easy out in the sunshine
La da da da da
Laid back having a good time
Dancing, singing, and playing
La da da da da da
La da
In Lovetopia
The island that I envision
Has beautiful green trees
By the beach on the ocean
With a soft cool breeze
Out where there are no worries
And no need to keep track of the time
There are no hard feelings
And there are no deadlines
The place I want to go
I want to go there with you
Let's go there soon
So jump into my picture
Be in my work of art
I'm filling out the canvas
To our Lovetopia
La da da da da
Living easy out in the sunshine
La da da da da laid back
Having a good time
La da da da da
Living easy under the moonlight
La da da da da
Relaxing
Having a good time
We need to slow down
The pace we're living
La da da da da
In Lovetopia
06 TROUBLE
Hell yea that looks like trouble I want to get in
I want get in
I can blame Beelzebub for my misbehavior
Or curse Adam & Eve for my sins
Maybe it is wicked in this water I'm drinking
Or something sinister in the air I breathe
Oh Oh
I'm up to no good
Get me into trouble
I love trouble
Oh Oh
I'm up to no good
I can't help myself
I love trouble
A teacher at my Sunday school
Said I would be doomed
If I keep talking down my better angels
There is a devil on my shoulder
Scheming in my ear
Gets me doing wrong and making mischief
I'm in too deep
I shouldn't play this game
It's dangerous
I should resist this temptation
But I'm having too much fun
I'm having too much fun
07 REST BE THE REMEDY
If life would just slow down
Maybe this all would make sense
And we could work out all the details
We'd have time to be friends
And live out all our fantasies
We could do everything
That we ever wanted to
But I'm a running man
And you're a running woman
We keep on running
Until there ain't nothing left to give
We've got so much love
But no one there to share it
We can't get near it
When we're so far apart
If we could slow the beating of our hearts
And let rest be the remedy
This clock has no patience
We can't stop
08 LOVE'S LIPS
Touch my heart with your hand
Feel it beating
This is me living
I feel so close to you now
What should we do
With the rest of our time?
This is what it feels like
When we're in the sunshine
Love's Lips like wine
Or dancing in the moonlight
Wishing on the stars so bright
Sharing the wonder of life
This is what it feels like to be alive
Take me in your arms
I'll touch my cheek to yours
I never want anything more
Than to be right where you are
It takes the weight off of my shoulders
Love's Lips like wine
Warm kiss calm mind
Stay by my side
Love's Lips like wine
Be still, unwind
Let's drink tonight
Love's Lips like wine
When there's so much going on
It tears at us
And it turns into everyday
We get caught up and pulled further away
Don't you know I still care for you so much
I care for you so much
So where do we go from here?
We're just trying to pay some bills
If we could make all this time stand still
And let rest be the remedy
09 ADDICTED
I get so hot when you're by my side
Ain't nothing I can do to fight it
Cuz you're looking so fine
I can't wait to get you
Out of your clothes and mine
It's something so natural
And it's something so sweet
Come a little closer
I've got to have you
I've got to have you
I'm addicted
I can't help the way that you make me feel
I'm addicted
Drunk - stoned - crazy
I'm addicted
Call it an obsession
Call it a like, love, or lust
Call it a need or call it a want
I just can't get enough
I'm addicted
I can't help the way that you make me feel
I'm addicted
Drunk - stoned - crazy
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
Out of control
I'm addicted
Something magical
Happens when we kiss
Gives me a high I can’t resist
My heart rate is up
My temperature is rising
Oh my God
You're so amazing
I'm addicted
I can't help the way that you make me feel
I'm addicted
Drunk - stoned - crazy
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
You are the drug I'm craving
I'm addicted
Out of control
I'm addicted
10 YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO NICE
I wish I were better with words
I would write you a sonnet
I'd weave you an allegory
Oh my poetry would be so sweet
But this is just a simple song I'll sing you
With a simple melody
I promise it will be heartfelt
But it won't be complicated
Because all I want to say to you
It will be true
It might not rhyme
But these words are mine to you
I hope they make you smile
Because you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel so nice
It's probably a cliché to say
That you're brighter than a sunny day
Your lips are sweeter than candy
And your eyes they hypnotize me
It might be old-fashioned to say I love you
That you're keen and you're wonderful
That I could spend a lifetime staring at you
And I could die in your arms
But all I want to say to you
It will be true
It's just one line
But these words are mine to you
I hope they make you smile
Because you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel so nice
I think that you're pretty
You're a real nice catch
You're such a sweetheart
My momma will be so proud
Because you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel so nice
11 TUMBLER
I am a tumbler
You are an acrobat on the trapeze
Lost in the circus
It's your turn on the tightrope
To catch your balance
And I'm here to break your fall
And tonight you’re my lover
Let your guard down and let me in
You're my lover
We'll kiss away the loneliness
You're my lover
It's our time and we'll make it last
You're my lover
And I'll be your best
Our tails we were chasing
Now we take a bow
And the curtains close
The lights they are fading
We take off our costumes
And go to bed
Your wish is my command
Until the morning
When the lions
Jump through the rings
And the clowns
Put on their painted faces
There's thunder in the courtyard
Before the night sleeps
It takes a deep breath
Your head upon my shoulder
Naked by the fireside
Lay on my chest
I feel your heart beating
