without any warning, without a clue
our lives change right in front of our eyes
disaster strikes when we least expect it
how do you start over when you are the victims
what can you do to help those in need
donate some money, clothes and food
volunteer time and all effort to help
offer a prayer too for everyone's safety
spread the news so more people are aware
together we can move forward to make a new start
all for a better tomorrow for the Philippines

this crush doesn't seem to be going away soon
i need to stay away before i fall harder
you seem to be perfect that everyone likes you
i'm afraid that this crush would turn into more

whenever you're around, i always want to be near you
i enjoy all our conversations and the laughs we share
you're a true gentleman, sweet and quite smare too
how can anyone not find you charming at all

it's actually great my parents already like you
my mom trusts you while my dad has plans for you
ok, so maybe i think i'm already falling hard
hoping that you will be there to catch me

how do you finish writing a poem
when all inspiration is lost
how do you finish cooking your meal
when all ingredients run out
how do you finish singing a shong
when all melody is gone
how are you suppose to smile again
when you're dreaming with a broken heart

struggling to keep both eyes open
trying hard not to fall asleep
maybe i'll get a book to read
or turn to a random channel on tv
anything to keep me awake
i don't want to fall asleep and then wake up
only to find out everything wasn't real
afraid that it was all just a dream

it certainly has been a while now
slowly getting used to not having you around
i wonder how much longer i should wait
before i'll be able to talk to you and see you again

each day just seems to drag on
nothing new, exciting or interesting is happening
another ordinary day for this life routine
i'd let life run it's course only to suddenly be surprised

feelings change just like people do
things happen for a reason is what they all say
i'd get some rest and just let things be
and maybe i'd be able to sleep well tonight

it's getting harder and harder each day
to just sit here waiting patiently for you
you said goodbye and left with a hug
and now you're back without any warning

my mind's full of unanswered questions
while my heart's restless, unsure what to feel
but my head's telling me to just let it all go
maybe this is just how things are meant to be

i should leave things as they are
and not to expect anything more
this is me, preparing for the heartbreak
hoping to be surprised instead in the end

can't believe that summer's almost over
i guess time really flies when you're having fun
gotta make the most of what's left
while still waiting for something great to happen

this has already been my busiest summer
working most days, sleeping whenever i can
there are get-togethers and movie nights too with some extra effort
should i be worried with changes that autumn could possibly bring

four months ago, i know this summer would be different
now four months laterm i feel there's so much more i can do
but i guess all that can wait till next year comes round
all i'd do now is think back on the memories of this summer

and somehow i know i'd never forget

i've been living with this emptiness
like solving a puzzle without a clue
pretending there's no void in my life
acting like there's no hole in my heart
putting up walls against any emotion
showing a strong facade for everyone to see

where are the stars tonight?
i just need to make one wish
maybe i'll throw a penny in the fountain
then close my eyes and simply whisper
like i do before blowing out all the candles
or maybe, just maybe, if i think long and hard enough
my wish, this dream, could and would simply come true

out in the park
under the sun
lying on the grass
enjoying the heat
i put my shades on and fall asleep.

the packed lunches
with frisbees flying
there's even sunbathing
and card-playing too
don't you feel like you're at the beach?

building sandcastles
splashing in the water
walking around barefoot
to feel the sand between my toes
isn't summer just so much fun?

i can't get it out of my head
this new friendship that we share
slowly getting to know each other
when spending more time together

i'm starting to like you
i know my parents already do
a real gentleman and a guy with ambitions
how can anyone not fall for your charms

as i play with your hair and brush it with my fingers
it all seems just so normal, comfortable and so right
as you stand close to me, i take in your scent
i smile and sigh, hoping i wasn't too obvious

i'd miss you when you're not around
'cause you keep me company when i'm alone
real thoughtful as you lend me your books
oh couldn't you just get any sweeter at all

i immediately smile when anyone says your name
and i might talk about you, just a little bit too much
my heart's restless when i don't see you around
even more when you are and don't say hi

i don't want to jinx anything by overthinking this
if we ever we become more or remain just friends
that's all in the future we'll have to wait and see
for now, i'll simply make the most of this friendship we share

half full or half empty
how do you view the water in the glass
half empty; the glass used to be full
half full; there's still something left to drink
half empty; what if it's not enough, you need more
half full; still enough to satisfy your thirst
half empty today can be half full tomorrow
oh well, i guess life's interesting that way

the disco lights are switched on
the music's blasting through the speakers
you find your feet tapping to the beat
and your head nodding to every word
closing your eyes, you just let it all go
lose all control and let the music move you

my heart's sad when i miss you
when i don't get to see you
when we don't get to talk
but i can't help but smile
everytime they mention your name
my heart starts beating fast
i seem to get all excited
filled with hope and happiness
and i just can't wait to see you again

can't seem to get you off my mind
thoughts of you are on constant reply
everytime i close my eyes
your face is all that i see
hope people don't think i'm crazy
when i smile so suddenly
i really miss you, that much is true
and i can't wait till i see you again
