Hello,
The hot new CD that I've been listening to is Lifehouse's "Smoke and Mirrors". Don't be a cheapskate, just buy the deluxe edition. Although I'm a little disappointed that the deluxe issue doesn't have the lyrics in the booklet. The first 6 songs of this CD are amazing. They are "all in", "nerve damage", "had enough", "halfway gone", "it is what it is" and "from where you are". I love the lead singer's voice, what a great voice. His name is Jason Wade. I'm sure some people would think their lyrics are corny, but I like most of them. If you've been through the dating/marriage wars you will relate to most of them. (Thanks to napster.com so that I can listen to that CD unlimited and youtube.com for a place to get these videos from.)
For instance in "all in" there is the amazing lyric, "I spent a week away from you last night". I've lived that lyric.
These lyrics come from "Had Enough"
Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.
Here's the video for "Had Enough".
These are lyrics from their current single "Halfway Gone".
Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep
Cause you're halfway gone and I'm on my way
And I'm feelin, feelin feelin this way
Cause I'm halfway in but don't take too long
Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

The songwriters in this band have been through the wringer, but they also have some very sweet lyrics. Here's some examples:
The following song is from their first CD "No Name Face", the name of the song is "Hanging By A Moment"
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 onto
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
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a 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
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a 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
Here's the official video for "Hanging By The Moment":
Another amazing song from their first CD, here's the lyrics for "Breathing":
I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what
I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace
I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright 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
I am looking past the shadows
Of 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
And break these calluses off 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 alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
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
I just want o be here now
*chorus*
