I'm really particular about the music that I listen to, and there are really only three (four if you count U2) Christian music artists I can stand to listen to... especially for an extended length of time. They are Christpher Hopper, Newsboys, and LaRue. Phillip LaRue was always my favorite singer of the brother/sister duo, and I always lamented the fact that he didn't sing more, so I'm glad he came out with his own CD. It's really good.
Chasing The Daylight lyrics
Phillip LaRue
Some say my faith is like wings made of wax
That it won't last that I'm wasting my time
But have they ever felt a love like this
Grace like a gentle kiss beauty so divine
I was a soul
Stranded in bones
I was dream too afraid to dream without you
But now
I want to chase the daylight
Like it's the last day of my life
I want to run
Hide myself in the sun and feel all these fears
Melt away
And I will never look back no I will never look back
I'm gonna live this life
Chasing the daylight
There's still arrows in my heart
There's still time I fall apart
And all I am left with is why's
But then your love falls like a heavy rain
And I don't feel the pain
When you're by my side
So open up the sky
And open up my eyes
Open up the sky tonight
This is one of my favorite songs on the CD.
Home
Phillip LaRue
Power lines go left and right
Sometimes I wonder if this city's just a maze
And I'm lost in it
Lately it's green to red
And I just can't stop thinking bout
What you said
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
I keep hoping somethings up your sleeve
You gotta give me something
To birth some belief
Lately it's hard for me to sleep
You know it's funny
When I'm awake
I feel like I'm dreaming, dreaming
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
Don't you block out the sun
Don't you block out the sunshine[x2]
I don't wanna let you go
But you need to learn to fly
I just wanna let you know
You only have one life to try to find out
What it means to be alive
I hope you find your home
Don't waste a lifetime just to know
So please come home
Don't Be Decieved
Phillip LaRue
Don't be deceived, when my face gets older
And don't be deceived, when my bones move slower
You got to believe, this heart will beat for you
And though it might get weak,
It's true, It's true
My love, My love, My love
And I won't be deceived,
If the color in your eye's fades to grey
And I won't be deceived,
If you ever loose the words to speak or to say
You got to believe,
We were made for this love, this love
And thought we might get weak,
I know it will be enough
It has to be enough
My love, my love, my love, oh my love
Don't you ever go away
Oh tell me you'll stay
Why don't' you stay, stay, stay, stay
Oh God I need her to stay
I need her to stay, stay, stay,
I need her to stay, stay, stay, stay
All we have is this life love
You know it's more than enough
We'll be more enough
Can you hear it?
Can you hear the music hiding in our hearts?
Can you hear the music hiding in our hearts?
Can you heart it now love?
I want you stay, stay, stay, stay
I want you stay, stay, stay, stay
Oh God I want her to stay
Why
Phillip LaRue
Look at the sun and how it shines
And how it attaches to the people walking by
Clouds are hanging in the sky
I don't know how, I don't know why
I don't know how, I don't know why
We can't believe in something we can't see
In something we can't see
Why we can't believe in something we can't see
When You're all around me
When You're all around
I know You're all around
Look at the day as it slips away
As the stars come out to shine
To think for each one You have a name
You have a name
And not to impart of Your design
I don't know how, I don't know why
We can't believe in something we can't see
In something we can't see
Why we can't believe in something we can't see
When You're all around me
You're all around
When you look outside and you open your eyes
Can you feel it like me?
Can you feel it when the wind blows
When the waves crash on the sea
When you take a deep breath, don't forget
Who gave you that in the first place
We didn't pick the day we were born and we
Won't pick the day we die
I don't know
I don't know why
We can't believe in something we can't see
In something we can't see
Why we can't believe in something we can't see
When You're all around me
You're all around
You're all around [x8]
All I Want
Phillip LaRue
Don't tell me you're not beautiful
Don't lie to yourself like that
Look in my eyes all I see is lovely
So let me climb over the walls of your heart
The ones you built up aren't tall enough to stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me now
There's no place to move no place to run
No place to hide away from love
You know you're all I want now
You know you're all I want now
So stop running against the wind
Stop fighting a fight you won't win
And let me in
I wanna make you feel beautiful
Cause I don't care about the scares on your soul
I don't care about your past so let it go
Look in my eyes cuz it's time it's time
There's no place to move no place to run
No place to hide away from love
You're all I want now
So don't let this go and pass you by
It's time to let your heart decide
You know you're all I want now
You know you're all I want
I am reaching for you.
Will you reach back to me?
I am longing for you.
Are you longing for me?
I am reaching for you.
Will you reach back to me?
I am longing for you.
Are you longing for me?
There's no place to move no place to run
No place to hide away from love
You're all I want now
So don't let this go and pass you by
It's time to let your heart decide
You know you're all I want now
You know you're all I want
So don't close you're eyes
So don't close you're eyes
You know, You know you're all I want
Sleeping Beauty
Phillip LaRue
Beautiful have some faith
Everything will be okay
Let's let our fears fall down
As lighting strikes all around
You and I dance in the rain
It feels good to know you
And I pray to God that I might show you
A love that's so real
You could feel it
Deep inside your soul
I'll never let you go
Sleep my beauty
And dream for a while
And then I'll kiss you
And wake you with a smile
You're like a ship on the ocean
Poetry in motion
I love the way you move
Cuz you move me with every little thing you say and do
So why don't you stay a while here a while
Forever's not long enough
We both know that
But Let your fear down and dry your tears now and fall back
Sleep my beauty
And dream for a while
And then I'll kiss you
And wake you with a smile
Sleep my beauty
And dream for a while
And then I'll kiss you
And wake you with a smile
Smile I'll show you love that's real
Feel it in you're soul
I'll never let you go
Sleep my beauty
And dream for a while
And then I'll kiss you
And wake you with a smile
Sleep my beauty
And dream for a while
And I'll kiss you with a smile
Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite songs on the CD. No surprise, really. ;)
Running So Long
Phillip LaRue
She takes off her halo and throw's it on the floor
Puts her lipstick on and walks out the door
Looks and the sky and cries "God when you gonna rain on me"?
Yea cuz we all got stories here in this place
But we hide them well with the smiles on our face
But, if you listen closely there's an aching
In everyone's heart
And I have been running so long
I forgot what I was running for
And you've been crying so long
You forgot what you were crying for
I've been running so long
I forgot I was running to you, to you
We'll if time had a face and I guessed his age
Would he let me rewind,
Would he let me change
This last year and all those mistakes
But I still love the way you hold me in the night
I love the way you whisper "everything's gonna be all right"
And I am sorry that lately I've lost some faith
In myself and everyone else
But I have been running so long
I forgot what I was running for
And you've been crying so long
You forgot what you were crying for
I've been running so long
I forgot I was running to you,
Wait and in time
We'll see the light breaking through
Can you feel it too?
I need you too
I've been running so long
I forgot what I was running for
And you've been crying so long
You forgot what you were crying for
And I fall like a cannon ball
And hope that you hear me call
I'm falling back it's true
I've been running so long, I forgot
I've been running so long, I forgot
I've been running so long, I forgot
I forgot I was running to you
Erase and Rewind
Phillip LaRue
Under you, under me
You and I are the same
This skin and bones hides our souls
We're suspended in between
It's over you, it's over me
We couldn't reach it if we tried
Yet you try every time
Why did you say, that?
Why don't you stay, and
Let me remind you
Let me remind you
Cuz I didn't see this coming
No I did not
I thought that I knew you
I guess I was wrong
You seemed so strange
Or did I lose you today
Tell me there's time
To erase and rewind
I won't look back to our past
Cause if I do then it might rain
It's funny how all we have now
Are some memories like loose change
Why did you say, that?
Why don't you stay, and
Let me remind you
Let me remind you
That I didn't see this coming
No I did not
I thought that I knew you
I guess I was wrong
You seemed so strange
Or did I lose you today
Tell me there's time
To erase and rewind
If you meant what you said well then fine
And if you meant what you said well then goodbye
I want to remind you
That I still love you
I didn't see this coming
No I did not
I thought that I knew you
I guess I was wrong
You seemed so strange
Or did I lose you today
Please tell me there's time
Tell me there's time
To erase and rewind
Before The Sun Goes Down
Phillip LaRue
My words fall like leaves from fall trees
Get lost in the wind and then I'm back again
With my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth
I want to say what I feel when I'm feeling it
I want to feel what I say when I'm saying it
But the words don't come out
I know that I hurt you
And I don't know what to do
It feels like your hiding from my eyes
And baby I don't blame you
But open up your heart
Don't let this fall apart
All I want for you to know
This is burning up my soul
My defense is to the ground
Will you throw away your doubt?
Before the sun goes down
Before the sun goes down
Well everything in me says run away
You know I want to but I'll stay
The damage done and your undone
It's 8'oclock and it starts to rain
And I know that I hurt you
And I don't know what to do
And I can't blame you
But open up your heart
Don't let this fall apart
All I want for you to know
This is burning up my soul
My defense is to the ground
Will you throw away your doubt?
Before the sun goes down
Before the sun goes down
I want to she'd this skin she'd my pride
I want to live within at least tonight
I want to feel your heart against my chest
I want to kiss you love until I loose this breath
But I know that I hurt you
But open up your heart
Don't let this fall apart
All I want for you to know
This is burning up my soul
My defense is to the ground
Will you throw away your doubt?
Before the sun goes down
I wanna here you say
Before the sun goes down
I wanna
Before the sun goes down
Deeper Side of You
Phillip LaRue
There's a fire in every man's heart
That's waiting to burn
For some it takes a lifetime to learn, to learn
But back December when my world started turning
I still remember the day
I felt the weight of a thousand ships
Sail on, and on, and on
And I want to know what it's like
And you want to know if it's true
And I know there's a deeper side of you
A deeper side of you
I know it's been raining on you
Since you were 17
The waters rose up so high
That you lost your meaning
I miss the summer when the air was so thin
I saw you come alive
What will take to turn the light on
Turn it on, and on, and on
Don't let them take you down
Let them hear you sing
Singing out
And I want to know what it's like
And you want to know if it's true
And I know there's a deeper side of you
And I want to know what it's like
And you want to know if it's true
And I know there's a deeper side of you
A deeper side of you
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't you let them take you down
Let them hear you sing
Singing out
And I want to know what it's like
And you want to know if it's true
And I know there's a deeper side of you
Yes there is
And I want to know what it's like
And you want to know if it's true
And I know there's a deeper side of you
There's a deeper side of you
There's a deeper side of you
There's a deeper side of you
Let me here you sing
Da da ra ra [continuously repeat]
There's a deeper side of you
Black and Blue
Phillip LaRue
Well the sky is bruised black and blue
Because I beat the stars for you
You said they shined to bright
Made it hard for you to sleep at night, at night
Well you missed the sound of the ocean love
So I caught it in a cage like a dove
Brought it to your window to calm you down
I brought it to your window to calm you now
Cuz it's time to forget
This world that you live in
It's time to let go
Of this life that you hold
Don't keep your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
Now why don't you sleep, sleep, sleep
Now why don't you sleep, sleep, sleep
Well I'll love you forever
Till heaven kisses earth
But I can't keep you hear
It's not what you deserve
You deserve to walk to run to fly
All the things I wanted for you in this life
Cuz it's time to forget
This world that you live in
It's time to let go
Of this life that you hold
No don't keep your eyes, your eyes open for me
You fought a good fight
Now just sleep, sleep, sleep
What I would do for you
To take the pain away
Oh sister oh my God
What is there left to say?
I'd run a thousand miles
Over sea and land
To find a cure for you
I don't understand
Will you hold my hand?
Help me understand
And it's time to forget
This world that you live in
It's time to let go
Of your hand that I hold
Don't keep your eyes open for me
We all know you fought a good fight
So why don't you dream
Just dream, dream, dream
Please dream
I can't listen to this song without crying.
Mountains High Valleys Low
Phillip LaRue
Mountains high
Valley's low
These are the things
That makes us grow
But all I want to know
Is if you can hear me
And all I want to know
Is if your still there
So I can feel your love
Wash over like rain
I could feel your joy
In the midst of this pain
Can you shine?
Shine, on me
Can you shine?
Shine, on me
And give me the faith
I long to believe, please
Season's change
Well I change too
Like spring and summer
And I fall to you
And all I want to know
Is if you can heal me
And all I want to know
Is if you're still listening God
And all I want to know
Is if your still there God
So why don't you shine
Come on shine on me
Why don't you shine?
Shine, on me
And give me the faith I want to believe, believe
I believe
I said I believe
No one's gonna take away that from me
So why don't you shine
Come on Shine on me
I know you will shine, you will shine on me
I know you're going to shine on me
And you'll give me the faith I know to believe, believe
Season's change
Well I change too
Like spring and summer
And I fall to you
Found
Phillip LaRue
Faster than a shooting star
Baby you stole my heart
I never want it back
I never thought it'd be like this
So surprised by your kiss
I didn't have time to react
Believing in us
Feels so dangerous
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never wanna find your way out
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never want to be
You never want to be found, found
I feel so strange because of you
I have everything to lose
I wouldn't have it any other way
If this turns out to be a dream
Please don't wake me
I don't want to leave this place
Believing in us
Feels so dangerous
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never wanna find your way out
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never want to be
You never want to be found, found
What a lovely mystery
All the ways two hearts can meet
We were made to collide
You and I, you and I are lost
Baby we're lost
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never wanna find your way out
When you're lost, lost, lost in love
You never want to be
You never want to be found, found
What a lovely mystery
Come on get lost with me
What a lovely mystery
Come on get lost with me
Get lost with me...
Get lost with me...
Get lost with me...
This song isn't on the cd. I don't know where to find it, outside of a few posts on tumblr, and youtube videos. I thought I might as well link to one of the youtube videos. It's a really nice song.
