Felt like fire It was just a flame How did it end up Like it is today? I was so stupid Loving you this way Thinking you love me Begging you to stay Blood pressure rising A heart attack Sleeping with my best friend Behind my back Saying you loved me Wondering if I knew There was always something Suspicious about you I knew I had to run away And can't believe I got away -- This thing got so out of hand You don't listen to word I say Cheating, telling lies Fists were flying, teary-eyes You think I'm playing a fool And I don't think you'll get a clue... Why did I fall in love? You said when I was leaving "I don't want you back" So, that's why you're always setting Down the trap? Now, right in front of my view When I walk past you Say you're gonna change We all know it ain't true I may be stupid Sure as hell ain't dumb I may be bitter Sure as hell ain't numb I may be desperate Sure as hell ain't weak I may be tired Sure as hell ain't beat You know, there is a time We must say goodbye It's for the better It's now or never We cannot save it Nothing left to fix It's for the better Nothing is forever We have our beliefs Right now we feel incomplete It's for the better It's now or never We go our separate ways Just know you'll always stay... You say I'm stupid I'm playing a fool I only played a fool for you...

over 03:37
I know I shouldn't be Falling over Just got off the love And I'm finally sober My mind is telling me "Boy, you're not over" But my body's screaming "You're getting older" Now I... never thought It would be this way But I've felt for you Since that first day First day When you listen to me System's on the extreme You're the overdrive, couldn't hide The way I was feeling And I'm certain you knew But run, you didn't do You stayed and I prayed I'd make it with you Now I... was into you For a long time So... why do you Occupy my mind My mind I know I shouldn't be Falling over Just got off the love And I'm finally sober My mind is telling me "Boy, you're not over" What did I do? We're getting colder You're getting older We're getting colder
3.
Trusting somebody is the hardest thing for me I felt I gave myself away so many times I've been betrayed, I've tried To find someone to share my love with But all my attempts were met with indifference Where were you now? When I needed you Where were you now? I can't feel you Where were you now? Never cared about me I've been looking for love In all the wrong faces I've been looking for us In all the wrong places And now it's raining... Looking for love...
4.
I'm tired of this bullshit I'm so tired of it Apologizing for nothing And when they call it out You spin back to "I'm sorry" And fuck 'em now So take back your words And I'll take back mine Won't follow your notion 'Cause what's not my fault Is your lack of devotion Did I say too much? I haven't properly thanked you For what you done I guess I'm the problem... I wouldn't even consider Saying these words to you If you showed some integrity Behind the things you do You lie, then scandalize To hide what's in plain view And when they call you out One thing you always do Victimize it Victimize it Victimize it Sympathize it Sympathize it Sympathize it Victimize it Victimize it Victimize it Sympathize it Sympathize it Sympathize it I'm tired of this bullshit I'm tired of All the politicization You do it so good And your orientation With yours like mine Can't break from the station Oh did I make sense? I'm sorry not sorry Oh did you want me To be quiet and fall in line And did I speak up When you didn't let me? Now you're the victim I get that you need this to...
5.
Ooh, baby You really got me, yes Ooh, and it's crazy It's just the thought of you Ooh, sets me blazing I feel you touching me Ooh, and I'm wasted... Gets me naked Who you love is what I gotta be... Here right now is where you gotta be... Ooh, baby You really got me, yes Ooh, and it's crazy It's just the thought of you Ooh, sets me blazing I feel you touching me Ooh, and I'm wasted... Gets me naked You gotta prove your love to me Talk without walk is dead, you see I want to feel you lovin' me Keep me rolling in ecstacy You make me want your lovin' You make me want you... and your body You make me want your lovin' You make me want you... and your body
6.
To fall in love again Is nothing like that first time 'Cause this is it... it's different And it's kind of scaring me It ain't nothing like the first one We ain't met, but to hell with it I'm surprised that someone Like you would be interested in me This ain't at all what I expected love to be And now I got you all to me You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever It's insane I don't want to fall in love in vain again No way. This time I want a love who'll stay A love that will never go away I'm surprised that someone Like you would be interested in me This ain't at all what I expected love to be But now I got you all to me You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever Don't forget about me Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be Don't let me be, now Don't let me be, now You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever You're fine, alright You're nice enough to want forever This one night stand might turn into love forever Finding you was that dream that I have prayed forever But now it's you and I against the world forever
7.
I wanna run away, and I'm ready to fly I need to get away to that different time Nothing here for me to stay and it really makes me sad But I just wanna be with you and that's all I ask So take me Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Back back back back back back in time Like the trail from a shooting star With you, my near and far Running and rushing And spinning, I'm blushing I can't stop my trusting You're taking me somewhere Running and rushing And spinning, I'm blushing I can't stop my trusting You're taking me somewhere
8.
I lay awake and think of you I can't help I'm missing you I don't know where I am tonight At least I know that you're alive Imperfect visions in my head Somewhere between this night and dead Awake and asleep, real or not I can't control my thoughts Is this too much paradise? Or is it too much to ask for tonight? I can't breathe, I can't breathe I'm trapped inside, I'm missing you I can't sleep, I can't feel I'm trapped inside, I'm missing you

rocket 04:12
I built a rocket so I’d escape When I met you my plans changed Decided I should scale it back And put my own ambitions last I built a rocket so I could leave I try but can’t seem to break free Is this how we'll always be Stuck here for eternity Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I built a rocket to find myself In the arms of someone else I tried and tried to no avail I can’t believe how much I’ve failed I built a rocket to fantasy Get out my life and restart Green I wanted him to rescue me So sad to think I’m this naïve Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I gotta start living for me No more sitting on the sideline Waiting for a lifeline Who gone love me better? No more trying to understand you 'Cause I don't give a damn, ooh Why should I, why should I care? Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I gotta start living for me Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Why are we here like this? Starts in my bed With you on my mind And all my regrets You're wasting my time What goes around done comes around And you ghost around You come around me It's not what you say It's what I don't do And all the lost words I can't say to you What goes around done comes around And you ghost around You come around me What goes around comes around Your ghost around comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Your ghost around comes around

Right. Here... All lovers will always fight We'll always be alright As long as you and I Stay. Right. Here... Stay. Right. Here... Stay. Right. Here... Stay. Right. Here... Stay. Right. Here... Make sure we're fortified In the event we need to hide Away from all the fight It's kind of insane out there Here's my invitation to Losing my mind with you Going crazy, but damn it feels so good That I can't contain it I can't contain it The world might stop spinning I don't care if it does tonight As long as you and I Stay. Right. Here... All lovers will always fight We'll always be alright As long as you and I Stay. Right. Here...

15.
Why don't we take some time to find us We are young and full of life Why don't we leave tonight? It's all unknown until it's known But we are forced to keep it going Why don't we take the dive We don't know what's on the ocean floor Unless we go and discover Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up And losing ain't that all bad In the moment it feels like that's all you had But in the end at least you'll say you know Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Why don't we know what we want Take the time to learn a different song Why are we bound by their rules It's never known until it's known And now is a perfect time to go We can do what we want to do We don't know what's on the ocean floor Unless we go and discover Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up And losing ain't that all bad In the moment it feels like that's all you had But in the end at least you'll say you know Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know... I don't want to stay in this place too long This place too long for you I don't want to say I did it wrong I did it wrong for you It's my life and I want to be what I want to be And what I want is to be me Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up And losing ain't that all bad In the moment it feels like that's all you had But in the end at least you'll say you know Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know... Now you'll know...
16.
It surrounds me, the city's heartbeat Sound of thunder as cars roll by Hear it breathing over the city Sounds of people, rings of lights I can see the distant water I can hear the echoing train I can feel the air surround me I just feel alive again Stars awake in spectral wonder Shining on me in neon skies Caressed in palm winds, it surrounds me Covered inside neon lights A little village, ocean water Ocean breeze form this place in time For a moment, I remember When I left this place behind I can see the distant water I can hear the echoing train I can feel the air surround me I just feel alive again
17.
What if I never see your face again What if I never recover What if I lose the trace of your scent What if I never uncover But I'll wait here until you come back to me But I'll wait here until you notice... But I'll wait here until you're mine again But I'll wait here for you forever Don't you break my heart Like I know you will Don't you break my heart In two It cuts me like a knife Like a jagged pill Don't you break my heart In two Don't you break my heart Like I know you will Don't you break my heart In two It cuts me like a knife Like a jagged pill Don't you break my heart In two What if I wasn't this naive What if I'd never wasted my time What if I'd never loved at all What if I hadn't made these mistakes I'll wait here until you come back to me I'll wait here until you notice... I'll wait here until you're mine again I'll wait here for you forever Don't you break my heart Like I know you will Don't you break my heart In two It cuts me like a knife Like a jagged pill Don't you break my heart In two Don't you break my heart Like I know you will Don't you break my heart In two It cuts me like a knife Like a jagged pill Don't you break my heart In two
18.
Knock knock knock on my door I've been waiting for this moment For so long - a little more This fever's burning me up inside And this feeling I cannot hide Teach me something I need to know Bang bang bang on the floor It's heaven when we play the game So hard to ignore You'll spin me around Lost in space, lost in sound Some place I need to be more So tell me something... What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for Keeping me waiting for Something this, something that Ooh, I can't wait anymore Spend spend spend all my time Waiting for you, but you aren't coming I can't keep waiting like this For a drink and a kiss Take back tonight Hate hate hate hate this more Than anything I ever hated anyone before Time is not on my side And before I know it My time has died... where did it go? I don't have time to sit around wait For what I deserve You should be with one who Treats you worse Than you treat me, and you will see What you have in me Can't be replaced so easy So you keep me waiting...

Swim in U 06:15
You make me wanna trace back to your heart And never forget all the love that I had You make me wanna forget all my past worries Moving on to a new love is not easy But I'm willing to swim in you If I can't keep up will you push me through I'm willing to swim in you I'd rather drown in you before nothin' I do I'm drowning I need air But somehow I don't care As long as you're near No one else will compare Take me away - how dare you take me away
20.
Ooh, I wanna fall again To make me forget about the other men That break me Don't wanna make the same mistakes here Baby - but I'm not gonna Fall again, 'cause lately I've been doing so well fixing me Learning to stand up on my two feet Even though the ground is so shaky It'd be a shame if I lost it all All 'cause I wanted someone to call Trying my damndest not to fall This heart of mine can't take it This heart of mine can't take another One like my last, take me Won't live inside my past It don't break me Would you love me out the dark? Would you love me out the dark? Can't nobody love me Better than I love me And right now it's what I need To build me back Once I'm sure I know who I am Then I'll have so much to give To the next one I've been doing so well fixing me Learning to stand up on my two feet Even though the ground is so shaky It'd be a shame if I lost it all All 'cause I wanted someone to call Trying my damndest not to fall This heart of mine can't take it This heart of mine can't take another One like my last, take me Won't live inside my past It don't break me I don't wanna put out more fire There is enough burning 'round me While I'm building back The extinguisher I need to find some self-respect And warm up what's been frozen For so long I've been doing so well fixing me Learning to stand up on my two feet Even though the ground is so shaky It'd be a shame if I lost it all All 'cause I wanted someone to call Trying my damndest not to fall This heart of mine can't take it This heart of mine can't take another One like my last, take me Won't live inside my past It don't break me This heart of mine can't take it This heart of mine can't take another One like my last, take me Won't live inside my past It don't break me This heart of mine can't take it This heart of mine can't take another One like my last, take me Won't live inside my past It don't break me Would you love me out the dark? Would you love me out the dark?

Alien 04:19
Only people, only people Only people in this world Only people hurt other people Say it's all good Only people, only people Only people say they carry Other people to be exclusionary I'm feeling alien, alien, alien I'm feeling alien, alien, alien I'm feeling alien, alien, alien Won't you come and take me away? I'm feeling Now, I don't wanna be in love tonight 'Cause loving you makes me different I don't wanna be in love tonight 'Cause loving you makes me different Like an alien... Scared of darkness, scared of light Or scared of self There ain't no reason if there's Hating of the self Scared of passion moves like winter Cold as ice There ain't no warmth when people Look into their eyes I could spend my whole life searching For the answers as to why I love you Or I could spend my whole life Proving I'm right But it doesn't matter how much I've done I'll always be an alien...
23.
We travel in my Memories... Where we will be Eternally free... Together this remedy... And we travel on a Lucid dream... We'll make it through disparity... We're living on a symphony... We'll make it through... you and me... Together us, with everything Flying on this false dream We'll make it through... you and me... Another state of consciousness Sentience and loss of breath Aural system mysteries Loss of all that's sanity We'll make it through... you and me... An aural taste of ecstasy Living on a rhapsody We'll make it through... you and me
24.
You were so blind you couldn't see How good and beautiful our love could be How we opened up the doors to all the possibilities You let it pass swearing the moment lasted Longer than it should... but you knew was good So... we should travel back to that moment in time Claim what is mine when things were fine You and I... you and I together Praying you could be here with me again Please don't leave me alone again Come back home you and I together Right here... We're one in the same So gone... We both played our games Over you... And both said we're sorry Come back to me Right here Don't stay away So gone... 'Cause I don't think I can take Over you... Another day without you Quit lying or I'll quit trying But I'm dying now without you You got me here crying I need someone a lifeline To guide me, to hide me From my pain I'm sorry but you made me know better And I'll love you forever So... we should travel back to that moment in time Claim what is mine when things were fine You and I... you and I together Praying you could be here with me again Please don't leave me alone again Come back home you and I together Right here... We're one in the same So gone... We both played our games Over you... And both said we're sorry Come back to me Right here Don't stay away So gone... 'Cause I don't think I can take Over you... Another day without you Another day - won't you come back to me I'd really want you by my side forever Another day - won't you come back to me I'd really want you by my side forever Another day - won't you come back to me I'd really want you by my side forever Another day - won't you come back to me I'd really want you by my side forever

Slow It Down 05:00
I don't like the way we're going Both of us keep talking our shit Used to be so close before but Now we're torn apart at our differences We've got a lot of differences... I don't know what the hell you're doing No disrespect, I just wanted your body I didn't want to get involved with All your bullshit but I guess that's changed I guess we've changed... We could take it going down town Build a time machine 'n' go down Take it slower, I could slow it down Take it slower, I could slow it down Make it shake like an earthquake And we'll forget the time we waste Fighting over nothing Take it slower, I could slow it... Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down I'm not trying to make sense no more Lost my judgment it's so stupid The politics of corporate greed But we're #BERNing ourselves to nothing What will be left of us is nothing We could take it going down town Build a time machine 'n' go down Take it slower, I could slow it down Take it slower, I could slow it down Make it shake like an earthquake And we'll forget the time we waste Fighting over nothing Take it slower, I could slow it... Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Breathing without air is impossible But we've both suffocated what we could've been It's like finding out what we both believed in Is a lie on both sides But we continued to pursue it Completely losing sight of what it means to be human What the real feeling of caring for each other Really feels like... We could take it going down town Build a time machine 'n' go down Take it slower, I could slow it down Take it slower, I could slow it down Make it shake like an earthquake And we'll forget the time we waste Fighting over nothing Take it slower, I could slow it... Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down Down down down down down down down Down down down down down Take it slower, I could slow it down

Sometimes I think of you when I'm all alone I wonder what you're doing or if you're even home I'd want to call you but I'm too afraid Thinking you'll ignore me, I just turn and walk away And I think to myself "love never works this way" I'd just want to tell you but I don't know what to say How about... "Hey my name is nice to meet you Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight And I love the way it fits you right How about coffee Friday night?" Someday I'll work this thing out right Then maybe someday we can get married But... words... words... they get in the way Get in the way Your soft skin and your soft hair Your eyes when they blank stare Those little things are what I love Your voice when you talk And if only these thoughts could Come out of my mouth while I'm talking to you But I come off shy and standoffish Probably because I'm nervous I'd never felt like this way now before Like you are the one that I want and adore And I tell myself that you're too good for me That we can't ever be... "Hey my name is nice to meet you Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight And I love the way it fits you right How about coffee Friday night?" Someday I'll work this thing out right Then maybe someday we can get married But... words... words... they get in the way I'm making this complicated And I feel like I'm suffocating And maybe someday I'd come up to you and say... "Hey my name is nice to meet you Can we be friends? I love that shirt you got on tonight And I love the way it fits you right How about coffee Friday night?" Someday I'll work this thing out right Then maybe someday we can get married But... words get in the way Get in the way...

Fairytale 03:01
Losing you would drive me insane To never see your face again Would be my greatest pain Can't say I hadn't tried And I know I could try harder I listened to my friends' advice And not what my heart wants They say that I shouldn't be with you That I'm no good with you Or that you will never love me But that's what they think... But every single thought is you And all of my dreams are you And I just cannot keep pretending That I'd find love in the ending This is not a fairy tale This is not a fairy tale This is absolutely real... You were the closest I'd ever been To happiness and to finding true love I didn't expect it to end so soon I was up in outer space when I was with you But I came crashing down to earth Now, I'm alone without you They say that I shouldn't be with you That I'm no good with you Or that you will never love me But that's what they think... But every single thought is you And all of my dreams are you And I just cannot keep pretending That I'd find love in the ending They say that I shouldn't be with you That I'm no good with you Or that you will never love me But that's what they think... But every single thought is you And all of my dreams are you And I just cannot keep pretending That I'd find love in the ending

Your lovely bright eyes Stared into my soul As you sang me sweet words I fell out of hold When we'd intertwine Creating the mold Implementing such colors While we float above time You're all I need to get by In this life, I'm all right If I'd only have your love You're all that matters to me Feel your touch, I'm in love Feeling alive when I'm In your arms

Magic 04:08
I feel you so deep inside me I can't hardly breathe Runs up my body, through my veins, and I can't even sleep Almost here, and you're almost lying right next to me And I'd believe near anything if you lied in my sheets Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? We could discuss politics or anything you'd like I learn from the brightest and you're my shining light And if what you'd need is physical then I'm ready to be Anything and everything you'd need to set you free Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand Could science even quantify, and classify, identify The supernova unleashed inside When I think of you and I You're like the heavens and earth A drug so smooth it even hurts Almost like a secret spell cast down on me That hard I fell Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? Wouldn't that be magic? And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand And all the elements wouldn't understand

It wasn't supposed to happen this way I'm so love-starved that I can't stay The proper emotional distance And to hell with my resistance Right now my feelings won't rest I'm trying to do what's best But these butterflies won't settle Thinking you might treat me better than him My kryptonite, can't run and hide You make me weak in my knees You got appeal, and I want to see You every night in my dreams 'Cause we could be fine Or Bonnie and Clyde Caught up in the potential We'd be alright, and we'd never fight 'Cause everything's inconsequential Or we could stay friends So I can see your pretty face again Way longer than goodbye Stay longer than goodbye And it's not enough with me Living in this one-sided love Stay longer than goodbye Way longer than goodbye I need answers 'Cause I got so many questions That keep going unanswered 'Cause I won't ask the questions Could we work it out, I'm having my doubts Could we start this conversation I'm getting around, inside melting down I'm patient but tired of waiting I offer to be whatever you need My future is in your discretion I don't want to regret anything We don't have to make it official Or we could stay friends So I can see your pretty face again Way longer than goodbye Stay longer than goodbye And it's not enough with me Living in this one-sided love Stay longer than goodbye Way longer than goodbye
