I didn't know if I would ever really grow up I didn't know if I would find someone who cares as much as me I didn't know if the time would ever come when I'd believe But I believe That you are the most beautiful surprise I'm trying to stay grounded while I'm at an all-time high And I don't want to let you down and I don't want to say goodnight 'Cause you are the most beautiful surprise I'll walk you home if you're not ready for your close up We'll put down our phones and we'll get real about our insecurities I want to show you I can be someone who makes you want to believe In me 'Cause you are the most beautiful surprise I'm trying to stay grounded while I'm at an all-time high Captivated by the way you move and the way you look tonight 'Cause you are the most beautiful surprise And even when it's not so new I'll stand by you, my love Even in the times we come down off this high, I'll still be right there at your side 'Cause you are the most beautiful surprise I'm trying to stay grounded while I'm at an all-time high Suspended in this moment as I step into your light 'Cause you are the most beautiful surprise You are the most beautiful surprise

Fi's Song 03:57
We're running late and the phone is ringing I can feel the weight in the room We're struggling to keep everything on track And I'm close to losing my cool 'Til I catch a glimpse of you I don't have all the answers, but I'll always tell the truth I'll do anything I can to help you through They could set me out to sea until I disappear from view But the one thing that I know is I have fallen for you I have fallen for you You are the grace in the chaos of this world Remember when times are tough There's nothing that you could do to sway me, girl There is no end to my love And whatever you are is enough I don't have all the answers, but I'll always tell the truth I'll do anything I can to help you through They could pack me up in boxes in the corner of the room But the one thing that I know is I have fallen for you I have fallen for you Do you know just how long we dreamed about you How much we thought about you How long we dreamed about you How hard we wished to bring you here I don't have all the answers, but I'll always tell the truth I'll do anything I can for you 'Til the stars burn out and all we have are glimmers of the moon The one thing that I know is I have fallen for you I have fallen for you I have fallen for you

Sink or Swim 04:07
I think we're alone now It's all open ocean beyond the bow I think we're at home now Our place has finally been found It doesn't matter where we're going It doesn't matter where we've been But if we're thrown into the ocean Would we sink or would we swim? Would we swim? You'll be alright, I'm by your side We'll sail all night away from Everything we've been We'll begin again Keep your head up, 'cause it's not over If the waves get rough, just climb on my shoulders 'Cause it's colder where I've been Than it is anywhere I'll be when I'm with you Will we sink or will we swim? Are we alone in the ocean? Will we sink or will we swim? Will the tide pull us back in? If I can keep my composure I think the darkest days are over Maybe one day when we're older We'll be so much closer To all the things we've dreamed of And all the things we've never been So would it be too much to ask If we forgot about the past? Am I coming on too fast? Am I coming on too fast? Will we sink or will we swim? Are we alone in the ocean? Will we sink or will we swim? Will the tide pull us back in? I know we're alone now It's all open ocean beyond the bow But I feel at home now Do you feel it? Do you feel it? Keep your head up, 'cause it's not over If the waves get rough, just climb on my shoulders 'Cause it's colder where I've been Than it is anywhere I'll be when I'm with you

So Damaged 04:58
In some strange way You're wrapped around my mind And I can't hide away The thoughts of all the times I gave in, you gave up We were searching for redemption Cheap red wine in plastic cups Couldn't make it okay And we could find the darkest thoughts inside our cluttered home And they could hold us back against the wall Because in time we will forget the things that we have done But peace of mind won't save our souls But in the dead of night it's so clear As the moonlight plays across your face I get the feeling we belong here You are an inspiration I could never replace Despite the past that has left us both so damaged But my hands on your waist somehow make it okay And we could find the darkest thoughts inside our cluttered home And they could hold us back against the wall Because in time we will forget the things that we have done But peace of mind won't save our souls And I will wait here if you fall (Wait here if you fall) And I'll be your strength to carry on (Strength to carry on) And if we make it after all (Make it after all) I'll be your breath as you sing along Just take my hand, I'll pick you up Baby, I'll be your redemption You be mine, that's enough To make it okay And we could find the darkest thoughts inside our cluttered home And they could hold us back against the wall Because in time we will forget the things that we have done But peace of mind won't save our souls And I will hold you close so that you know you're not alone And we won't dare to turn away again And after everything that we've been through together At least we know we'll have each other in the end

Safe to Say 03:45
Hey girl It's safe to say that I've been falling for you It's safe to say I'm gonna fall a little more each day Hey girl It's safe to say that this was worth the wait It's safe to say that all our missteps and mistakes led here Take it from me, I never believed in destiny 'Til you came along, and got me thinking maybe I was all wrong Hey girl It's safe to say you made this house a home It's safe to say we'll never have to be alone again Hey girl It's safe to say I'll never let you down It's safe to say that we were lost and now we've found our way Take it from me, I never believed in meant to be 'Til you came along, and now I know we're right where we belong And when I reflect on how we've come this far It's not so hard to believe that it was written in the stars Take it from me, I never believed in destiny 'Til you came along, and got me thinking maybe I was all wrong (Maybe I was all wrong) Take it from me, I never believed in meant to be 'Til you came along, and now I know we're right where we belong Where we belong Where we belong
