Where We Belong

Lyrics:

Are you frightened by a stranger
Do you see strangers as a danger
Does my dismissing of your fears make a difference
Would you prefer to disengage

What could be better than together
Our kind of love could last forever
Are you afraid of the unknown, that’s very natural
We’ll brave the weather up ahead

Where we belong, where we belong…

What could we do to make it better
Would we be better together
Do you suppose if we tried, we could work it out
Could what we planted ever sprout

I think I’d like to take my chances
If you’d indulge me with romances
If we can't dance we can always knock it off
We could just talk or take a walk

Where we belong, where we belong…

The sin ain’t fun if the fun ain’t sin
The fun ain’t sin if the sin ain’t fun
Oh, oh, innocent sin is fun

Love is good if you're good with love
Good is love if your love is good
Oh, oh, good love is good

Come on baby, baby come on
Baby come on, come on baby
Oh, oh, innocent sin is fun

I'll Hold You Up

From the album Post
Words & music by Billy Dechand
© 1989 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP)

When you wake up
The sky’s in your eyes
The morning’s so sweet
It’s you

Who really cares when you cry
I even love how you blink

I’ll hold you up, but don’t step on me
When I look up at you
I am the sky when you fly
I am a fly when you stink
Think of me

If you look up
Who knows what you’ll see
Ice blue sky in the spring
It’s a pretty shiver when it makes you shake
If you slip or fall, I’ll be there

I’ll hold you up, but don’t step on me
When I look up at you
Tall on a hill, you never fall
High on the breeze above
Think of me

When you wake up
The sky’s in your eyes
The morning’s so sweet
It’s you

I Walked Out

From the album Post
Words & music by Billy Dechand
© 2006 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP)

I walked out on you 
Closed the door behind me 
Cries faded to sighs 
This much is true

All said and done
You were the one
To choose to be
Always free

Summer sun and autumn bring
Winter snow and springtime rain
None can change what I must face alone
I walked out, I walked out 

I came back for you
Tried your door and cried out loud 
Spied a shift in the window shade
The wind blows

All said and done 
We were the two
To choose to be
Always free 

Summer sun and autumn bring
Winter snow and springtime rain
None can change what I must face alone
I walked out, I walked out
