JJ HELLER LYRICS

Meant To Be
Coffee in the morning
Ice cream at night
Make sure the kitchen’s clean
Then we turn out the light
Raindrops on the window
We’re on the couch
Fire in the fireplace
Best seat in the house
When God made you
He already knew
That we were meant to be
With love as deep
As the big blue sea
We were meant to be
Feet on the dashboard
Wind in my hair
As long as you’re beside me
I’ll go anywhere
When God made you
He already knew
That we were meant to be
With love as deep
As the big blue sea
We were meant to be
I’ll make you dinner
You do the laundry
We’ll make mistakes
Then say we’re sorry
Our love will bend
But it won’t break
When we give more than we take
When God made you
He already knew
That we were meant to be
With love as deep
As the big blue sea
We were meant to be
We were meant to be

This Year (Happy New Year)
This year
I’m not looking back to who I was
Because I’m gonna be someone
I’ve never been
This year
I’m not focused on the cracks in the walls
Not keeping track of all the times I fall
This year
So long to last year
It’s all becoming so clear
There is no use living in regret
Let’s fight a good fight
Train our eyes to find the light
That makes this year the best one yet!
Starting right here
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
This year
I plan on thinking less of "I" and "me"
I resolve to think of "us" and "we"
This year
I can’t wait to see what good will come
To feel alive instead of feeling numb
This year
So long to last year
It’s all becoming so clear
There is no use living in regret
Let’s fight a good fight
Train our eyes to find the light
That makes this year the best one yet!
Starting right here
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

Daylight
Lord, I have been afraid for so long.
I have prayed so many times to be strong.
I sit here in the desert making circles in the sand,
but you tell me that you're the promised land.
There is an inch of daylight underneath the door;
It's enough for me to fill up my canteen.
Food and water are only buying time,
if I want to live, your love is what I need.
I am scared to death of taking the wrong turn.
Pieces of something nobody can earn.
There is no chance now of losing, when you've given me your love.
You heal the disease I was dying of
There is an inch of daylight underneath the door;
It's enough for me to fill up my canteen.
Food and water are only buying time,
if I want to live, your love is what I need.
Be near me.
Be near me now.
Be near me.
Be near me now.
There is an inch of daylight underneath the door;
It's enough for me to fill up my canteen.
Food and water are only buying time,
if I want to live, your love is what I need.
If I want to live, your love is what I need.
