A place in the sun
I’ve seen that look in your face before
I know what it is your searching for
Your looking for an escape
Someway out of all this red tape
I know the winter leaves you reeling
Like a love song with no feeling
So the last year has been a living hell
I know cos I was there when you fell
Chorus
We are all searching for a place in the sun
But you can’t find peace on the run
Sometimes your safer in the shade
Learning to deal with the mess you made
Won’t you stay a little longer
Time can make us stronger
Always thought of you as a soul mate
Don’t wanna see you give in to hate
I’m trying my best to understand
Just wish you could except a helping hand
Release some of that pride
And let us stand side by side
Chorus
We are all searching for a place in the sun
But you can’t find peace on the run
Sometimes your safer in the shade
Learning to deal with the mess you made

Almost enough
We both came from the wrong side of the track
Been hurt but we made it back
But our scares refuse to heal
Just hold me now and pretend it’s real
The spark between us is so strong
But I know with me you don’t belong
We started this at 90 miles an hour
It’s like trying to grow an instant flower
Something’s just take time to grow
I need it fast and you want to go slow
The more I try to give you time
The more I doubt you are mine
Chorus#
We get along real fine
Sharing tenderness all the time
Gentle huggin and hard kissing
But we both know something’s missing
Babe it’s almost enough
But it’s just not love
The past has given you nothing but pain
It drags you down like a ball and chain
You have to make the load lighter
Let me show you a world so much brighter
Open your heart a little everyday
It’s the only way to make the go pain away
Bridge# I just wish you could learn to trust
Before you turn love into dust
I can give you all the space you need
It’s just unfair for both of us to bleed
I ain’t got no hard sell
Cos I’m taking a chance as well
But it’s one I need to take
Call me a fool but I’m no fake
Just give us a test run
Don’t give up before it’s begun
Chorus#
We get along real fine
Sharing tenderness all the time
Gentle huggin and hard kissing
But we both know something’s missing
Babe it’s almost enough
But it’s just not love
