Lyrics:
"Summer Paradise"
(feat. K'naan)
Oh, Oh
Take me back, take me back
Oh yeah
Back to summer paradise
My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting up
Above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do
But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
(Tell 'em)
My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through
And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you
What'd you say
Well real life can wait
(it can wait)
We're crashing like waves
(uh-huh)
We're playing in the sand
(me and you)
Holding your hand
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
Yeah I remember sunny mornings
And summer evenings
Now you're right next to me
And I am freezing
Was it real?
Oh baby, tell me, was I dreaming?
How can you show me paradise,
When I'm leaving?
Now my heartbeat is sinking
Hope's shrinking
When I try to speak no words
Lip-syncing
Hope this is not just wishful thinking
Tell me that you care
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go
Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I remember when we first kissed
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high
Singing La-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(summer paradise)
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
"Closer To The Edge"
I don't remember the moment I tried to forget
I lost myself, is it better not said
Now I'm closer to the edge
It was a thousand to one and a million to two
Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you
Closer to the edge
[Chorus:]
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No no no no
(Can you, can you, can you)
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?
The birth of a song, the death of a dream
Closer to the edge
This never ending story
Paid for with pride and fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in our fate
[Chorus]
[x2]
No no no no
I will never forget
No no
I will never regret
No no
I will live my life
[Chorus]
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
Does this song have to mean something to you? I would really suggest that you go out shooting for about an hour and see if anything strikes you for these or any other song. One song that country fields always makes me think of is Fields of Gold by Sting. It's older, but it's pretty classic and amazingly beautiful.

You could work to get some great photos and then use a lyric search to find a song to match it to.
Heart is sinking... You could use a heart pendant sinking into a glass of water
