NOT MY TIME (SOMEONE TO SAVE ME)
(Eric Berdon)
I need someone to save me, I'm still alive in here,
Someone to lift me out of the dark and fear,
I just want to hold on to something real this time,
As I'm slipping under, I'm reaching out to find,
I need a savior tonight,
I need a savior, cuz it's not my time, it's not my time,
Can't you feel a heartbeat, someone's alive in here,
Can't you hear the breathing in the silence of tears,
Something is breaking under the gray, lifeless sky,
Time for an awakening of every soul in sight,
I need a savior tonight,
I need a savior, cuz it's not my time,
It's not my time, it's not my time
I need someone to listen, cuz I'm screaming through the quiet,
I can hear angels from the lowest depths of hell,
I need a savior tonight,
I need a savior, cuz it's not my time,
It's not my time, it's not my time

Crashing Down (Too Late To Turn Back)
(Berdon / Atkinson)
Here at the end of another dead road
All that I’ve carried, is now too hard to hold
I’ve been here before, but I don’t know the way
And I still feel the fires from yesterday
It’s too late to turn back now, the sand is all run out
And I don’t want you around
As I come crashing down, as I come crashing down
A phony mask wearer, so no one could see
What would you think, if you saw what’s beneath?
But I can’t survive walking this lie
So I find myself here, time after time
And it’s too late to turn back now, the sand is all run out
And I don’t want you around as I come crashing down
As I come crashing down
I know tomorrow comes with a promise and a prayer
Even though all the things I wanted won’t be there
And healed scars on my heart will still be found
Cuz I can never turn this hourglass upside down
It’s too late to turn back now, the sand is all run out
And I don’t want you around as I come crashing down
It’s too late to turn back now, the sand is all run out
And I don’t want you around, as I come crashing down
As I come crashing down, as I come crashing down

JUST NOT ME
(ERIC BERDON)
I KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU
I KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU
IN THE MORNING, I SEE A SHADOW
BUT I RISE AND THERE’S NO ONE THERE
SO I KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU
SOMETIMES I JUST CAN’T MOVE
IN A BLUE DREAM, I AM MELTING
IN A TEAR STREAM, YOU WON’T SWIM
AND WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I SEE
CUZ WITHOUT YOU HERE
I’M JUST NOT ME
I KEEP LISTENING FOR YOU
I CAN ALMOST HEAR YOU BREATHE
HAUNTING ME IN THE MIDNIGHT
AS I REACH OUT TO NO ONE THERE
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I SEE
CUZ WITHOUT YOU HERE
I’M JUST NOT ME
I KEEP HOLDING ON TO YOU
JUST CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO THE TRUTH
THAT YOU WERE GONE, LONG BEFORE YOU LEFT ME
I COULDN’T FIND YOU IN OUR LAST EMBRACE
AND WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I SEE
CUZ WITHOUT YOU HERE
I’M JUST NOT ME
JUST NOT ME
I KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU …

THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN'T EXPLAIN
(Berdon / Robyn)
When looking at me, In the confusion of you,
All that is clear is the damage we do,
Try to learn to give, Take is all you do,
Then it’s too late, and it comes unglued,
We say we can fix this, and bury the pain,
It’s like were addicted to something we can’t explain,
When there’s nothing left to lose, there’s nothing left to gain,
We wind up addicted to something we can’t explain,
There's something we can’t explain,
What do you want, What do you need,
If you don’t even know, How do you get it from me,
I think that it’s time one of us stood our ground,
Cause we keep jumping in to love's lost and found,
We say we can fix this, and bury the pain,
It’s like were addicted to something we can’t explain,
When there’s nothing left to lose, there’s nothing left to gain,
We wind up addicted to something we can’t explain,
There's something we can’t explain

BE THE ONE, TO BE WITH ME
(Berdon)
When my nights grow long
And my days ain't so strong
Oh, I want you to be the one
To be with me
There's a place I sometimes go
When my songs all seem to slow
There I want you to be the one
To be with me
There is no one else that God made
That could come within
A hundred thousand miles of your love
And when I think of all the other
Men you could be with
I look up to the stars
And I just thank the Lord above
Cuz when I'm left all alone
All my friends so far from home
Then I know you will be the one
To be with me
There is no one else that God made
That could come within
A hundred thousand miles of your love
And when I think of all the other
Men you could be with
I look up to the stars
And I just thank the Lord above
Cuz when my nights grow long
And my days ain't so strong
Oh, I want you to be the one
Yeah, I want you to be the one
Oh, I want you to be the one
To be with me

GRATEFUL HEART, FINALLY HOME
(Berdon)
We're together here,
every year I get a chance to see
Love, beautiful life,
a moment in time I wish I could keep
And I don't take for granted now, what it means to me
A grateful heart, finally home,
right here is everything I need
As all this warmth surrounds my soul
As the whole world changes,
love stays the same inside
And I believe that all these things
will always be a part
Of a grateful heart
When we break bread,
we lift up each other through the season’s change
And the times when I let go,
you keep holding me just the same
And I don’t take for granted ever
what it means to me
A grateful heart, finally home
right here is everything I need
And all this warmth surrounds my soul
As the whole world changes
love stays the same inside
And I believe that all these things
will always be a part
Of a grateful heart
There’s never a better moment to say
I’m thankful for this day
A grateful heart, finally home
right here is everything I need
And all this warmth surrounds my soul
As the whole world is changing
love stays the same inside
And I believe that all these things
will always be a part
Of a grateful heart
You’ll always be a part
Of this grateful heart

Clarity (I Don’t Need You Tonight)
(Berdon / Atkinson)
It’s an abstract kind of love confusion
I can’t say what I feel
I fell into a sweet delusion
Now I don’t know what’s real
Oh, I need little clarity
From scattered moments circling me
The only thing that I can see
Is tonight I don’t need you, I need clarity
With twisted thoughts you poisoned me
So I couldn’t see what’s true
But with blurried eyes I’m breaking free
From this Kaleidoscope point of view
Cuz I need little clarity
From scattered moments circling me
The only thing that I can see
Is tonight I don’t need you, I need clarity
I wish I could slow it down like a movie scene
And rewind to a time when we were on the same team
Cuz we’ve been playing against each other now for so long
It feels like a game of charades, and I can’t guess what’s wrong
Oh, I need little clarity
From scattered moments circling me
The only thing that I can see
Is tonight I don’t need you, I need clarity, oooh
From scattered moments circling me
The only thing that I can see
Is tonight I don’t need you, I need clarity … clarity

AFTER GOODBYE (Berdon)
Time was here, now it’s gone
And I want you to know
You’ll be right in my heart
After I go
Don’t embrace me too long
My tears wanna fly
You and I still belong
Even after goodbye
Scared to try something new
But soon I would see
The dreams inside your eyes
That made me believe
That these days would go on
Forever, that’s why
You and I still belong
Even after goodbye
I remember watching
Old movies on a Sunday afternoon
There it was safe to dream
And even fall in love
But now my heart breaks
Cuz I realize what you mean to me
And I feel so far
I feel so far away
On the other side of this world
I’m thinking of you
Praying that you’re well
Wondering how you’re doing
As these days grow long
I feel inside
That what you gave me lives on
And now I can fly
To anywhere you are
Even higher than the sky
Cuz you and I still belong
Even after goodbye

THIS SHOULD BE GOOD
Berdon/Jaye
I’M HERE, I’M GONE
I’VE LOST, AND I’VE WON
I’M UP, I’M DOWN
I’M STILL, TURNING AROUND
I’M IN, I’M OUT
HAVE FAITH IN MY DOUBT
I LOVE, I FIGHT
SOMETIMES I’M WRONG, EVEN WHEN I’M RIGHT
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S BAD IS NOT THAT BAD TO ME
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S GOOD IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD BE
AND THIS SHOULD BE GOOD TO ME
I STAND, I FALL
WITH NOTHING I’LL HAVE IT ALL
I LIVE, I DIE
YOU KILLING ME KEEPS ME ALIVE
I RUN, I CRAWL
STAND OUT, UP AGAINST THE WALL
LOCK DOWN, BREAK FREE
BLINDED, I’M STARTING TO SEE
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S BAD IS NOT THAT BAD TO ME
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S GOOD IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD BE
AND THIS SHOULD BE GOOD TO ME
WHISPER SO SOFT, SCREAM OFF YOUR HEAD
BRING IT TO LIFE, LEAVE IT FOR DEAD
ALL YOUR EXTREMES EVEN OUT IN THE END
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S BAD IS NOT THAT BAD TO ME
OH, EVERYTHING THAT’S WRONG IS RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD BE
OH, EVERYTIME I LOOK THERE’S SO MUCH MORE TO SEE
OH, BUT EVERYTHING THAT’S GOOD IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD BE
AND THIS SHOULD BE GOOD TO ME
THIS SHOULD BE GOOD TO ME
YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO ME
