Tunes & Tales: Back Home

I'm going to be indulging my nostalgia for the days when I was crazy about my favorite boy bands. (To be honest, I'm still loving all of them, possibly even more so than ever before.) One of my favorite bands was Westlife, who are sadly no longer together now. I absolutely adored all of their albums, and I'm lucky enough to be able to say that they were the first ever band I went to see in concert when I was about thirteen! Anyway, one of my favorite albums from them was Back Home. It was the album I listened to constantly in my college years, as well as the one that inspired a ton of my fan fiction about the band.

VIBE: boy band pop songs (What's not to love?)

WHY: I just love my boy bands, okay?

TRY: Catch My Breath and Something Right are all-time faves.

Home / Nowhere But Home

May be surrounded by a million people

I still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

Oh, I miss you, you know [...]

Let me go home

I've had my run

Baby, I'm done

I wanna go home

Us Against the World / The Burning Sky

We're not gonna break

'Cause we both still believe

We know what we've got

And we've got what we need

We're doing something right

'Cause it's us against the world

You and me against them all

If you're listening to these words

Know that we are standing tall

Something Right / Out on Good Behavior

If you want me

I must be doing something right

I've got nothing left to prove

And it's all because of you

So, if you need me

And baby, I make you feel alive

I know I must be doing, doing something right

I'm Already There / P.S. I Love You

Wish I was in your arms

Lying right there beside you

But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight

And I'll gently kiss your lips

Touch you with my fingertips

So turn out the lights, and close your eyes

I'm already there

Don't make a sound

I'm the beat in your heart

I'm the moonlight shining down

I'm the whisper in the wind

And I'll be there till the end

Can you feel the love that we share?

Oh, I'm already there

When I'm With You / Hidden Huntress

I don't wanna face this world alone

(Without you by my side)

You're the only one that makes it feel like home

(And I need you in my life)

When I'm not around, I'm feeling like a piece of me is missing

When it feels like the day is closing in,

Somehow I find the faith to make it through

When I'm with you

Have You Ever / Tied to Trouble

Have you ever been in love, been in love so bad?

You would do anything to make them understand.

Have you ever had someone steal your heart away? 

You would give anything to make them feel the same.

Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart? 

But you don't know what to say and you don't know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?

Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?

Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?

Have you ever? Have you ever?

It's You / The Deal

'Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it's burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth, if it's something new

Baby, it's you

Catch My Breath / Make It Last

We were still in high school

When I first met you

Even then you were the prettiest girl

That I ever knew

And we carved our name on everything

That we could find the way that all kids do

And although time has passed,

I still get surprised

At the pulling in my chest

When I know you're coming by

If this feeling's proving anything

It's not everything is gonna change with time

You're still mine

The Easy Way / Racing Savannah

Listen girl

Just let me talk to you

I just wanna be with you

So why should I play it cool?

You and me

We've got a chemistry [...]

I'm gonna come right out and say it, girl

I love you

I love you

What's wrong with saying it the easy way?

I Do / The Wedding

I'm ready to begin this journey

I'm with you with every step you take

And we've got a whole lifetime to share

And I'll always be there

Darling, this I swear

So please, believe me

For these words I say are true

And don't deny me a lifetime loving you

If you ask, will I be true?

Do I give my all to you?

Then I will say I do

Pictures in My Head / Brown-Eyed Girl

Thank you for tomorrow when you're gonna call me

Thank you for the weekend when you're gonna see me

Thank you for the memories we haven't made yet [...]

I can see me looking at you

At the start of the day for all my life

I can see me dying to hold you

On the way when I'm driving home at night

I've got these pictures in my head

You Must Have Had a Broken Heart / One True Loves

You seem to have that certain smile

I can't forget after a while

The day you walked into the room

At once I knew the hurt that you'd been through

You must have had a broken heart

To love me the way you do

Must have been so torn apart

I can see it when I look at you
