FALLING – Ian Decker  ©2004

Looking for another hour in the day

Need more time, there's gotta be a way

Wanting more than I've already got

Spread so thin with no way to stop

Oh no, oh no 

Way up high, the clouds as my guide

Destination to be one hell of a ride

I keep on slipping trying to grab a hold

One last breath and I'm heading home

I am falling

Tried to reach the stars, but I'm on my way back down

I am falling

Catch me now, keep my feet up off the ground

Ohhhhhh

Just one more minute to dial the telephone

But you're not there, there's nobody home

A little piece of mind is all I need

Get me through today I've got to succeed

I am falling

Tried to reach the stars, but I'm on my way back down

I am falling

Catch me now, keep my feet up off the ground

Another morning's gone, here comes the night

Gonna be a long one, no dreams in sight

Lost the vision, when I began to fall

Need you by my side, please answer my call

I am falling

Tried to reach the stars, but I'm on my way back down

I am falling

Catch me now, keep my feet up off the ground

Catch me now, keep my feet up off the ground

WHAT IF – Ian Decker   ©2004

What if I’d been the one

To love you for always?

Never care how much you changed

Keep you warm when you’d grow older

Never would have been another

 But I was the one

You left behind that night

So you could spread your wings and fly

A new love on the horizon

Now your heart is frozen

 I won’t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

 What if I was right there?

Would you take me in your arms?

Or rip out my heart?

Would you know just what to do?

Could you use the words I need you?

 I won’t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

Ohhh now, all this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won’t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

Oh no

What if you’d been the one?

Left behind back then

Vow to never love again

You’d see what I went through

And why you’ll never hear I Love You

 I won’t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

Ohhh now, all this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won’t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

 Oh no

 What if I’d been the one

To love you for always?

 All this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won’t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

I don’t think so

Oh no

Oh no

What if I’d been the one?

ONE FIRE – Ian Decker     ©2004

You say I don’t understand about the way your mother left you

You think I don’t understand about the pain and what you’ve been through

You think I don’t see the tears that you shed upon your pillow

You think I don’t see the way you look when I say “I know”

Take a step back, baby

Take a deep breath

Let yourself believe the fact

That I’ve been standing right beside you

You say I can’t understand, how your daddy went and left you

You think I don’t have a clue about everything he’s done to you

You think I don’t see the way that we’re standing here again

You think I don’t’ feel the way, it feels like before and then…

Take a step back, baby

Take a deep breath

Let yourself believe the fact

That I’ve been standing right beside you

One fire, burns between us one bright candle

One fire, there is nothing we can’t handle

One fire, leads the way, both together

When it seems there’s no one else, you’re not alone, One Fire

One fire, burns between us one bright candle

One fire, there is nothing we can’t handle

One fire, leads the way, both together

When it comes to lovin’ you no one else knows

One Fire, burnin for you and me

One Fire, no one knows

No one else knows our fire, no one else knows your fire

No one else knows my fire

No one else knows our fire, no one else knows your fire

No one else knows my fire

No one else knows our fire, no one else knows your fire

No one else knows my fire

No one else knows our fire, no one else knows your fire

No one else knows my fire

One Fire

MY LIFE – Ian Decker      ©2004

An open book, all the pages inside torn away, no one else can see

Put my heart and soul ironed on my sleeve

I need you to believe

In me

Come a little closer, let yourself inside as you look into the window of my soul and what I say

Hope I can please you, I hope that you will stay

Cause I can’t bare the thought of you going away

Well I’m tired and I’m scared, but I’m not backing down

Gonna live my life for you

Gonna shake all the doubts and all the what ifs

To spend the rest of my life with you

I wish you know how many times I’ve tried to let you see, the one and only me

And all the times I wished you were by my side, instead of in my dreams

I’m tired and I’m scared, but I’m not backing down

Gonna live my life for you

Gonna shake all the doubts and all the what ifs

To spend the rest of my life with you

I can feel the trembling

I can feel the hunger

I can feel the magic in the air

This is for you, this is for me

This is where we were meant to be

I’m tired and I’m scared, but I’m not backing down

Gonna live my life for you

Gonna shake all the doubts and all the what ifs

To spend the rest of my life with you

This time around I’m standing my ground

Gonna live my life for you

These hands are rock steady and reaching out

To spend the rest of my life

With you

With you

MOTHER’S LOVE – Ian Decker      ©2004

You came back down from your black cloud last night

Long enough to smile at me and tell me everything’s all right

Been so long since I’ve seen the girl I knew before

The one I would laugh with, the one I adored

Born to be an angel, your mother graced us all

Gave us something all to believe, and in your eyes I saw

A reflection of her younger years when time was on her side

I caught a glimpse of the good life

I caught a glimpse of you my wife

Don’t you worry you will rise above, fight the fight never come undone

Dust will settle and standing tall, you’ll always have your mother’s love

You never asked to be a soldier when the news came down that day

All the childhood innocence, you had to keep from slipping away

Made to take a stand couldn’t turn the other way

As a tear rolled down the thunder, it brought the rain

Don’t you worry you will rise above, fight the fight never come undone

Dust will settle and standing tall, you’ll always have your mother’s love

It’s something you can’t explain, can’t touch, can’t give away

Only a child can know the power of a mother’s love

You came back down from your black cloud last night

Long enough to smile at me and tell me everything’s all right

Don’t you worry you will rise above, fight the fight never come undone

Dust will settle and standing tall, you’ll always have your mother’s love

Don’t you worry you will rise above, fight the fight never come undone

Dust will settle and standing tall, you’ll always have your mother’s love

Ohhhh your mother’s love

Ohhhh your mother’s love

IN MY EYES – Ian Decker       ©2004

Looking back on days gone by, I remember pain within your eyes

Another glance and I can see, a thousand smiles you bring to me

Am I the cause, am I the cure?

For a wounded heart left unturned

Please stay beside me and believe, your smile is all I really need

To see you here I have to say, you fill my mind both night and day

2 steps behind, 3 steps ahead.  You are the beauty in my bed

I need you now, need you the most.  To ease the fear of all my ghosts

You get all of me and I confess, that all I want for you is the best

I am the one, who found his star, who wished upon it

And here you are

Sometimes at home I cry alone, I cannot see a paved road

No friends to comfort all the rain, but a subtle touch you keep me sane

Do I belong or should I go?  Something that you should let me know

Sugared eyes and cheeks of red, your thought no more be left unsaid

I am the one, who found his star, who wished upon it

And here you are

You are the one, came from the sky, fell hard upon me

The shine in my eyes

Looking back on days gone by, I remember pain within your eyes

Another glance and I can see, a thousand songs you bring to me

Am I the cause, am I the cure?

For a wounded heart left unturned

Please stay beside me and believe, your smile is all I really need

I am the one, who found his star, who wished upon it

And here you are

You are the one, came from the sky, fell hard upon me

The shine in my…

AT THE START – Ian Decker        ©2004

Standin’ on the corner, waiting on the light

I see you drive right by and I wonder why

You never said goodbye that night, never turned back to see

All the pain you left with me

Starin’ at the TV, I think I see your face

Lookin’ like you did the first time at your place

I don’t remember what was said, only how you took my hand and led me to your bed

And I’m calling on you now, but I can’t pick up the telephone

So I hope you hear me now, in the night, in the day

I’m sending out a message from my heart, to meet me back at the start

Looking for some answers, maybe just some clues

To why it hurts so bad when there’s nothing I can do

I walk the streets alone at night, passing by your house to see you in some kind of light

And I’m calling on you now, but I can’t pick up the telephone

So I hope you hear me now, in the night, in the day

I’m sending out a message from my heart, to meet me back at the start

Oh yeah….

Maybe I’ll just move, find somebody new

Somebody into me oh a little just like you

But there’s a fire burning deep down inside

Reminded me that there’s just one of you on my mind

So I’m calling on you now, but I can’t pick up the telephone

So I hope you hear me now, in the night, in the day

I’m sending out a message from my heart, to meet me back at the start

Oh, in the night, in the day

I’m sending out a message from my heart, to meet me back

At the start

At the start

At the start

At the start

GONE – Ian Decker        ©2004

Don’t know where it went, don’t know when it’s coming back

That space inside my heart, that keeps me on track

The day it left, I saw my world come crashing down

I only needed you , but you couldn’t be there you were the one

That went on, left me in the cold, left me on my own

Way to high, from being way to low

Did you not know how much you meant or were you blinded by your soul

Pulled the pin, intentions fell to the floor

On your way out, door slammed shut, don’t know why

You’re gone, left me in this world to walk this road alone

You’re gone

You’re gone

One last goodbye is all I cry

You’re gone

All my days confused, can’t tell if things are up or down

This haze inside my brain spins me round and round

I rage inside, I love the way you held me close

Showed me how to love again and how to leave the past far behind

But you’re gone, you left me in this world to walk this road alone

You’re gone

You’re gone

One last goodbye is all I cry

You’re gone

You’re gone

You’re gone

One last goodbye is all I cry

You’re gone

You’re gone

You’re gone

You left me in this world

STAND BACK – Ian Decker      ©2004

I don’t know how long I can go this way, wanting more from every day

A little icing from the cake would be fine, instead of crumbs at the end of the line

So many years I waited for this moment, so many years I let myself get bent

Too many times I waited for a know, I gotta catch up, gotta beat the clock

I take my shots every day

Lord I’m workin’ on a plan, I gotta get away

Stand back, gonna put the hammer down, gonna get myself back into the game

Stand back, gonna let the blood show, gonna get it done, gonna do it my way

Stand Back

We’re all going down the same road, some a little quicker and some too slow

For you the stakes are way to high, I’m gonna up the ante, hold on for the ride

I take my shots every day

Lord I’m workin’ on a plan, I gotta get away

Stand back, gonna put the hammer down, gonna get myself back into the game

Stand back, gonna let the blood show, gonna get it done, gonna do it my way

Stand Back

Only one chance to get things right

I’m on fire, I’m never gonna stop

We’re all going down the same road, some a little quicker and some too slow

For you the stakes are way to high, I’m gonna up the ante, hold on for the ride

I take my shots every day

Lord I’m workin’ on a plan, I gotta get away

Stand back, gonna put the hammer down, gonna get myself back into the game

Stand back, gonna let the blood show, gonna get it done, gonna do it my way

Stand Back

Stand Back

Stand Back
