Lifehouse: For Ettarose


No, this is not a sneak peak of a new greatest hits album by the Christian Rock band that has also enjoyed phenomenal more mainstream appeal—not to mention success. For this is just a collection of very special songs for a very special lady. May they help bring her some joy and comfort as she and her husband seek to traverse the stormy seas of this life.

You And Me
Lifehouse
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can’t keep up
And I can’t back down
I’ve been losing so much time

‘Cause it’s You and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s You and me
And all of the people
And I don’t know why
I can’t keep my eyes off of You

All of the things
That I want to say
Just aren’t comin’ out right
I’m tripping on words
You’ve got my head spinnin’
I don’t know where to go from here

‘Cause it’s You and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it’s You and me
And all of the people
And I don’t know why
I can’t keep my eyes off of You

There’s something about You now
I can’t quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

‘Cause it’s You and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s You and me
And all of the people
And I don’t know why
I can’t keep my eyes off of
You and me
And all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s You and me
And all of the people
And I don’t know why
I can’t keep my eyes off of You

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Everything
Lifehouse
Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You
You are the Light
That’s leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the Light
To my soul
You are my purpose
You’re everything

And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won’t let me fall
You steal my heart
When You take my breath away
Would You take me in
Take me deeper now

And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

‘Cause You’re all I want
You’re all I need
You’re everything
Everything
You’re all I want
You’re all I need
You’re everything
Everything
You’re all I want
You’re all I need
You’re everything
Everything
You’re all I want
You’re all I need
Everything
Everything

And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this
And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better
Any better than this

And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this
And how can I
Stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

Come Back Down
Lifehouse
Staring right back in your face
A memory can’t be erased
I know
Because I tried
Start to feel the emptiness
And everything I’m gonna miss
I know
That I can’t hide

All this time
Is passing by
I think it’s time
To just move on

When you come back down
If you land on your feet
I hope you find a way
To make it back to me
When you come around
I’ll be there for you
Don’t have to be alone
With what you’re going through

Start to breathe
And fake a smile
It’s all the same
After a while
I know
That you are tired
Carrying the ones you lost
A picture frame
With all the thoughts
I know
You hold inside

I hope that you can
Find your way back
To the place
Where you belong

When you come back down
If you land on your feet
I hope you find a way
To make it back to me
When you come around
I’ll be there for you
Don’t have to be alone
With what you’re going through

You’re coming back down
You say you feel lost
Can I help you find it
When you come around
From time to time
We all are blinded
You’re coming back down
You don’t have to tell me
What you’re feelin’
I know what
You’re going through
I won’t be the one
That lets go of you

I think it’s time to just move on

When you come back down
If you land on your feet
I hope you find a way
To make it back to me
When you come around
I’ll be there for you
Don’t have to be alone
With what you’re going through

When you come back down
If you land on your feet
I hope you find a way
To make it back to me
When you come around
I’ll be there for you
Don’t have to be alone
With what you’re going through

Breathing
Lifehouse

I’m finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don’t really know
What I’m going to do
When I get there
Take a breath
And hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back
To the arms of Grace

‘Cause I am hanging
On every word You say and
Even if You don’t want to speak tonight
That’s all right
All right with me
“Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven’s door
And listen to You breathing
Is where I want to be
Yeah

Where I want to be

I’m looking past
The shadows in my mind
Into the truth
And I’m
Trying to identify
The voices in my head
God
Which one’s You
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel alive
And break these calluses off of me
One more time

‘Cause I am hanging
On every word You say and
Even if You don’t want to speak tonight
That’s all right
All right with me
“Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven’s door
And listen to You breathing
Is where I want to be
Yeah

I don’t want
A thing from You
Bet You’re tired of me
Waiting for the scraps
To fall off Your table
To the ground

‘Cause I just want to be here now

‘Cause I am hanging
On every word You say and
Even if You don’t want to speak tonight
That’s all right
All right with me
“Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven’s door
And listen to You breathing
Is where I want to be
Yeah

‘Cause I am hanging
On every word You say and
Even if You don’t want to speak tonight
That’s all right
All right with me
“Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven’s door
And listen to You breathing
Is where I want to be
Yeah

Where I want to be

Where I want to be

From Where You Are
Lifehouse
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
Standing underneath the stars
And I wish you
Were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way
The sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that
They’d mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you
Were here

I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you
Were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way
The sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that
They’d mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you
Were here

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you
Were here

Broken
Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealin’ all my time
I am here still waitin’
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like You’ve already figured out

I’m fallin’ apart
I’m barely breathin’
With a broken heart
That’s still beatin’
In the pain
There is healin’
In time
I found meanin’

The broken locks were a warnin’
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I’m an open book instead
And I still see Your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are lookin’ for purpose
They’re still lookin’ for Life

I’m fallin’ apart
I’m barely breathin’
With a broken heart
That’s still beatin’
In the pain
In the pain
There’s the healin’
In Your name
In Your name
I find meanin’

So I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m barely
Holdin’ on to You

I’m hangin’ on
Another day
Just to see what
You will throw my way
And I’m hangin’ on
To the words You say
You said that I will
Will be okay

The broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Havin’ forgotten
My way home

I’m fallin’ apart
I’m barely breathin’
With a broken heart
That’s still beatin’
In the pain
In the pain
There is healin’
In Your name
In Your name
I find meanin’

So I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m barely
Holdin’ on to You

I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m holdin’ on
I’m still holdin’
I’m barely
Holdin’ on to You

Hanging By A Moment
Lifehouse
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I’m closer to where I started
Chasing after You

I’m falling even more in love with You
Letting go of all I’ve held on to
I’m standing here until You make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with You

Forgetting all I’m lacking
Completely incomplete
I’ll take Your invitation
You take all of me now

I’m falling even more in love with You
I’m letting go of all I’ve held on to
I’m standing here until You make me move
I’m hanging by moment here with You
I’m living for the only thing I know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
And I don’t know what I’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There’s nothing else to lose
There’s nothing else to find
There’s nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I’m closer to where I started
Chasing after you

I’m falling even more in love with You
I’m letting go of all I’ve held on to
I’m standing here until You make me move
I’m hanging by moment here with You
I’m living for the only thing I know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
And I don’t know what I’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment
Here with You
Hanging by a moment
Here with You
Hanging by a moment
Here with You
Hangin by a moment here with You
