Circles
04:56
|
|||
I've started so I'm never gonna stop
If I sink I'll float back to the top
If I miss another turn it's another lesson learned
And I'll grow, whoa oh oh
If I feel that everything is going wrong
And the hardest thing to do is carry on
I'll run straight at it just as fast as I can
And I'll break through the wall
The time has come for me to run wild and free
And let go of that person that I used to be
Unwrap these chains from around my brain
They had me locked up in negativity
Like an autumn leaf blowing on the breeze
Wherever I land is where I'm meant to be
With an open mind, I'm free to fly
Instead of going in circles for eternity
I'm sick of going in circles
If I hear something I didn't want to hear
That disturbs and awakens all my fears
I'll turn off all the lights coz I'm ready for the fight
For my soul, whoa oh oh
If I see something I didn't wanna see
I refuse to wipe it from my memory
I'll stop and I'll stare 'til I see it isn't there
Anymore, oh oh oh
The time has come for me to run wild and free
And let go of that person that I used to be
Unwrap these chains from around my brain
They had me locked up in negativity
Like an autumn leaf blowing on the breeze
Wherever I land is where I'm meant to be
With an open mind, I'm free to fly
Instead of going in circles for eternity
Defeat is not an option
Defeat is not an option
It's not an option
Defeat is not an option
It's not an option
It's not an option
I've started so I'm never gonna stop
If I sink I'll float back to the top
If I miss another turn it's another lesson learned
And I'll grow, whoa oh oh
The time has come for me to run wild and free
And let go of that person that I used to be
Unwrap these chains from around my brain
They had me locked up in negativity
Like an autumn leaf blowing on the breeze
Wherever I land is where I'm meant to be
With an open mind, I'm free to fly
Instead of going in circles for eternity
The time has come for me to run wild and free
And let go of that person that I used to be
Unwrap these chains from around my brain
They had me locked up in negativity
Like an autumn leaf blowing on the breeze
Wherever I land is where I'm meant to be
With an open mind, I'm free to fly
Instead of going in circles for eternity

Love To Be
04:36
|
|||
I got a tight grip on reality
I don't let expectations get the better of me
But then again, in all honesty
I stay optimistic for my sanity
I like to limit myself to achievable dreams
Give everything I've got with all of my means
Coz in the end It's down to me
If I fail or succeed
But we all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something
We all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something
I'm always looking for appreciation but
I never want to be the centre of attention
I'm just a sucker for some kind words
It's nice just to get a mention
I like to limit myself to achievable dreams
Give everything I've got with all of my means
Coz in the end It's down to me
If I fail or succeed
But we all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something by someone
Wooo oooo oooo
We all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something
We all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something by someone
By someone
We all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something
We all love to be, all love to be loved
Coz otherwise, what's the point? yeah
We all love to be, all love to be needed
For something by someone

She's got an angel sitting on her shoulder
I got an angel holding my hand
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
There's no need to fight
These demons inside of me
They'll burn away in the light
That shines from her eyes
There's no need to try
To be where ever I wanna be
With her as my guide
How could I ever fail?
She's got an angel sitting on her shoulder
I got an angel holding my hand
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
To be me
There's no need to lie
To get myself out of a sticky situation
She has this desire
To help me face the truth
There's no need to hide
Behind the comic mask of a tragic clown
She always knows which buttons to push
To lift me when I'm down
She's got an angel sitting on her shoulder
I got an angel holding my hand
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
To be me
To be me
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
I used to be so lost
Until she shined her light on me
Until she shined her light on me
Until she shined her light on me
Until she shined her light on me
Yeah she shined her light on me
She shined her light on me
She's got an angel sitting on her shoulder
I got an angel holding my hand
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
She's got an angel sitting on her shoulder
I got an angel holding my hand
She gives me everything
She gives me everything
I'll ever need to be me
To be me
To be me
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me
To be me
To be me
To be me
She gives me everything I'll ever need to be me

A Little Time
04:08
|
|||
I can't speak, in case I let out all of these feelings
I'm not ready to let you see what's inside
I can't breathe in case you sense that I'm nervous
I'm just hoping you can't read my mind
Maybe I just need a little time
Just stay here holding my hand and I'll be fine
Is it me, or can I feel your heart beating?
Or am I sensing your vibrations through your palm?
Could it be, that you're also a little bit nervous?
Do you disguise similar thoughts in your mind?
Maybe you just need a little time
Just stay here holding my hand and you'll be fine
I'm certain something's happening
That I can't quite put my finger on
But I know this has never happened to me before
And who'd have known we cold have felt this way from the start?
Are you frightened just like me to let down your guard?
Do you feel this connection that I'm feeling?
Why are we running scared from what seems like destiny?
Maybe we just need a little time
Just stay here holding my hand and we'll be fine
Yeah I think that we just need a little time
So if you stay here holding my hand, we'll be fine

Brighter Destination
03:35
|
|||
My feet are getting itchy
So I'm making plans tonight
I'm packing up some essentials
But I'm only travelling light
I'm gonna need some rest because
Tomorrow is the day
The only plan I have right now's
To let nature guide the way
But it doesn't really matter where I'm going
As long as these feet are kicking up dust behind me
As long as I'm moving and I'm going
In the right direction
I've got the wind behind me blowing strong
The sun on my face, coaxing me on
To a beautiful, brighter destination
I can almost smell the salt in the air
I can feel the sand on my toes
I can sense a smile creep on my face
As the anticipation grows
I got warmer climates on my mind
To encourage my aching bones
This paradise is calling me, so on and on I go
But it doesn't really matter where I'm going
As long as these feet are kicking up dust behind me
As long as I'm moving and I'm going
In the right direction
I've got the wind behind me blowing strong
The sun on my face, coaxing me on
To a beautiful, brighter destination
It's so beautiful in my mind
Beautiful in my mind
It's so beautiful in my mind
In my mind
It's so beautiful in my mind
Beautiful in my mind
It's paradise is calling me, so on and on I go
But it doesn't really matter where I'm going
As long as these feet are kicking up dust behind me
As long as I'm moving and I'm going
In the right direction
I've got the wind behind me blowing strong
The sun on my face, coaxing me on
To a beautiful, brighter destination
It's so beautiful in my mind
Beautiful in my mind
In my mind

If It All Goes Wrong
02:58
|
|||
I can take any junction I want along this road
Gathering thoughts of wisdom along the way
I can chose to tread this golden stage 'til my dying day
But I've only got myself to blame if it all goes wrong
I could let you tag along from time to time
If that's something that you want?
But out here in the open there's nowhere to hide, consider yourself warned
And you've only got yourself to blame if it all goes wrong
You can place your hand in mine if you chose
We can face this road together
We can live as if the sky is always blue, whatever the weather
But we've only got ourselves to blame if it all goes wrong
We've only got ourselves to blame if it all goes wrong
We've only got ourselves to blame if it all goes wrong

My Dreams
03:30
|
|||
I wake up, face down in my pillow
I gather my thoughts and I slowly turn
Today I'm feeling different
But I'm not sure what it is
Maybe I'm still half asleep
And it's messing with my vision
Coz as I lay on my back and I look through the window
I swear I just saw something I recognize from my dreams
From my dreams
I raise my body up from these sweat soaked sheets
Reach for my phone and contemplate the day
I sit out in the garden
With my morning cup of tea
I'm lost in ore at the brilliant blue
And it's happening again
Coz as I catch my reflection, there's a smile on my face
I'm sure that it's a smile I recognize from my dreams
From my dreams
I'm focused on this burning sun
And I feel my life has just begun
And I'm standing up slowly
I'm raising my hands
I'm reaching above clouds in the sky
I'm looking at the world so much clearer from here
I think I'm living a life I once saw in my dreams

Fortune
03:33
|

Hey, can you describe to me, what I'm going through right now?
Hey, can you show me which direction I take from here?
Hey, do you hear all of the songs that I like to play?
Do I get 'em right, do you know I try?
See if you can se something
To ease the doubt in my mind
Take a glimpse ahead in time
Tell me my fortune
Just give me one little clue
I might not believe you
But I need some idea of what to do
Hey, do people really hear me when I talk?
Hey, am I sticking to the path I was meant to walk?
Hey, did you know that I'd be here with you today,
Begging you to show me the way?
I sometimes wonder, is it all planned out?
Or is it really down to us how we all turn out?
I sometimes feel that no matter how hard I try
No matter how far I think I'm getting
When I open my eyes
I'm stood on the starting line
Hey, was I never meant to reach this goal in my head?
Hey, did I get stuck in someone else's dream instead?
See if you can se something
To ease the doubt in my mind
Take a glimpse ahead in time
Tell me my fortune
Just give me one little clue
I might not believe you
But I need some idea of what to do
What was I born to do?

Wonderland
02:31
|
|||
You can't find the spark
You just fumble around in the dark
You're trying to ignore that negative voice in your head
But it's hard
You Can't find your heart
The beat doesn't seem to start
You watch the days tick by like minutes
And it's tearing you apart
You're on a quest for wonderland
And all you see is clouds in the sky
You're already half way there
But you don't realise
You're staring at the road
Coz you don't know which way to go
So you just keep spinning around
And around and around 'til you fall
You're on a quest for wonderland
And all you see is clouds in the sky
You're already half way there
But you don't realise
You were told that the grass was gonna be greener
And that's kept you blind to the progress you made
So take a look in the mirror
Do the see the light that I see before me, hiding in the shade?
You're on a quest for wonderland
And all you see is clouds in the sky
You're already half way there
But you don't realise
You're on a quest for wonderland
And all you see is clouds in the sky
You're already half way there
But you don't realise

Force Of Nature
04:45
|
|||
I know this journey hasn't started out as easy as we planned
When we first connected our hands
I know sometimes it seems impossible to understand
But there's one thing that's always certain
You know I'll always be here with you
That's never gonna change
No matter what trouble comes our way
You know that we can conquer anything
Better when we're together
And they'll never break what we've got
Coz this love's a force of nature
I know it seems that every corner we turn leads us back to the start
To where we syncopated our hearts
I know there's been more bumps in the road than we ever could have predicted
But we're getting much better at shaking them off
And it's all because
We can conquer anything
Better when we're together
And they'll never break what we've got
Coz this love's a force of nature
They can try to derail us if they want
God knows, it wouldn't be the first time somebody's tried
And they can give everything they've got
Within their power to burst our bubble
But they might as well be trying to stop the tide
I know it's hard for us to keep the faith that we'll accomplish all of those dreams
That we shared down by the sea
But I know it in my heart of hearts that we'll get everything our hearts desire
This is all just fuel for our fire that keeps us burning
And we're always learning
You know I'll always be here with you
That's never gonna change
No matter what trouble comes our way
You know that we can conquer anything
Better when we're together
And they'll never break what we've got
Coz this love's a force of nature
You know I'll always be here with you
That's never gonna change
No matter what trouble comes our way
You know that we can conquer anything
Better when we're together
And they'll never break what we've got
Coz this love's a force of nature

Hope
04:14
|

I opened the window to breath
I sensed nostalgia blowing on the breeze
I shed a tear for the way things used to be
As my memories drift away with the leaves
I don't know if we'll ever change our ways
But all we have is hope these days
Our vision's gone, we're lost in a haze
And all we have is hope these days
I opened the back door to see
The sunlight beam it's magic down on me
I'm hypnotised as it flickers through the leaves
A million flashes for a million memories
I don't know if we'll ever change our ways
But all we have is hope these days
Our vision's gone, we're lost in a haze
And all we have is hope these days
There's to much going on to wrap my brain around
I'm happy in this bubble that I've made
And I refuse to let these situations get me down
I'm happy sitting here 'til I fade
I don't know if we'll ever change our ways
But all we have is hope these days
Our vision's gone, we're lost in a haze
And all we have is hope these days
I really hope we learn to change our ways
Coz all we have is hope these days
All we have is hope these days

When The Music Dies
03:30
|
|||
Maybe I can be a restaurant waiter
Maybe I can be a builder or a painter
It's possible to chose another life
To make you happy
But you see there's something
That you should know about me
This music is the blood that makes my heart beat
If it every stops flowing, then I'm going under with it
Coz you Know
I can't leave this life behind
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating when the music ends
It's with me 'til the day I die
Maybe I can be a landscape gardener
Maybe I can be that man behind the bar
It's possible to chose another life
To make you happy
Yeah, it's a blessing and a curse
But let's get this clear
This music is the vessel for my dreams and my fears
If it ever stop floating, then I'm going under with it
Coz you Know
I can't leave this life behind
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating when the music ends
It's with me 'til the day I die
Until the day I die
Coz you Know
I can't leave this life behind
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating when the music ends
It's with me 'til the day I die
You know I can't hide
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating with the music
With the music
The music
I can't leave this life behind
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating when the music ends
It's with me 'til the day I die
You know I can't hide
No matter how hard I've tried
My heart will stop beating with the music
When the music dies
