Future
04:02
|
|||
It's time to wake up
Stop calling it love
It’s time to get real
I’m only hurting myself
I wanted to be your star
But you couldn’t see a future in me
So it’s time to go home,
To reclaim all I’ve lost
To find spirit and hope
I wanted to be your star
But I'm tired of believing in a future so bright
Time to wake up
Stop calling it love
Time to get real
You're only hurting yourself
Dreams never die, they just dull your light
Dreams never die, they just steal your heart

Destroy Myself
02:34
|

I avoid myself
I destroy myself
I need help
I can't fight this alone
You only get so far on your own
I need you now
I've got a drive for destruction
I’ll surely die in the wrecking of my life
I’ll need your help to survive
I avoid myself
I destroy myself
I need help
I’ve spent so long in the dark
Convinced this is my only path
But I see now
I’ve got a drive for destruction
I’ll surely die in the wrecking
I’ve got a drive for destruction
I don't want to die
In the wrecking of my life
I need your help to survive

Foolishly In Love
03:34
|
|||
I think I'm a little bit in love with you
words I dread to say so I sing to you
I wish no one else was around
I wish all the lights would go down
And you would see me shine in the dark
I wish we were already drunk
So that the truth would come out
And you would hold me and not hold back
And if tonight we had a free pass
To love with no conscience
To lead with our hearts
Would you fall, foolishly in love?
I think you’re a little bit in love with me
words you dread to say, so just sing to me
Weren't you the one who always said
too many times you let life go by
well now's the time to take the wheel and drive
Cause tonight we have a free pass
To love with no conscience
To lead with our hearts
and to fall, foolishly in love
You watch me every morning running around
like you got all the time in the world
well am I just pouring heart shaped coffee
for someone who wanted a gin?
you watch me every morning standing by the doorway
leaving the bus too soon
well are we just planting flowers by the freeway, painting our motel room?

Harsh Light
02:16
|
|||
It’s been a rocky few months
but soon we will be smooth sailing
You and I back to our old selves
yeah we will be holidaying
Cause there’s just something about knowing someone so well
That after all of these years you can just tell
We will be alright, yeah we can survive, we can outshine this harsh light
And I know these are restless nights
but soon we will be sleeping soundly
You and I back in each other’s arms
baby we’ll be slow dancing
Cause there’s always our song to remind us
Of that very first night, we found love
Yeah well be alright, we can survive, we can outshine this harsh light
And we can't escape life’s dreariness
and at times we will feel the emptiness
It's all around us, making its way through
but all these questions will lead us to the truth
And our love with hold true

Misery And Misfortune
03:14
|
|||
Misery and misfortune
I’ve just gotta own my situation
There's some kind of romance to reckless passion
The anguish and the agony
Well I'm just happy to be feeling
I had some kind of rebirth in my darkest hour
Misery and misfortune
I'm gonna own my situation
There's some kind of charm to my desperation
The outrage and the reckoning
I had reached my breaking point
A defining moment in my darkest hour
I cried tears of clarity
I screamed sense back into me
I was carrying such a heavy load
but now I’m free from my own
I saw things in a new light
See me shining, I've come back to life
I was carrying such a heavy load
But now I’m free from my own
Misery and misfortune
Misery and misfortune
Misery and misfortune
I’m just gonna own my situation
I’m gonna own my darkest hour

I’m in love with you
So let me awaken you
I’m going to follow you through
the darkest day
Just like the sun
sadness is real
Just like the sun
it’s going away
So don’t get lost in a world that favours fast living
Cause you’ve got a mind for drifting and dreaming
A beautiful mind that will both terrify and free you
But for a beautiful mind, deep is the way
There is a place for you
there is light
It’s just hard to see
through the heavy fog
And I know how quickly
thoughts can turn dark
But you can stay
in this place of love
Don’t get lost in a world that favours fast living
Cause you’ve got a mind for drifting and dreaming
A beautiful mind that will both terrify and free you
But for a beautiful mind, deep is the way
Don’t let them break you
You’re going to break through
Take the mind that time gave you
Take my love and my time too

Morning Stars
03:21
|
|||
At times the world will throw you around
It forces you to learn, growing up young
Deep in the dark, you find the depth to your heart
Destiny will do its worse, but love will carry on
So darling don’t you dread that morning light
Wake up and see the morning stars shine
There’s no explaining, why these things happen
All I can tell you is when they do
I’ll be here for you
And at times we all need a place to run and hide
Space to be alone, free to just dream
Cause deep in the dark, you find the truth to your heart
Destiny will do its worst but love travels far
So darling don’t you dread that morning light
Wake up and see the morning stars shine
There no explaining why these things happen
All I can tell you is when they do
I'll be here for you

I'd Rather Be A Dreamer
02:52
|
|||
I've always been a success
You just hadn’t noticed
Slipping through the cracks
I'm too chic to be mainstream
Gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself
You learn to love yourself
When there is no one left
I’m living in a fool's paradise
I’ll be dreaming till the day I die
But I'd rather be a dreamer than feel bitter and envy
Yeah I’d rather be a dreamer than admit defeat
Oh I know how to finesse
never needed your recognition
I'm not waiting for your confirmation
I'm a star
And heavens only so far away
Eventually you feel no pain
Only strength in sadness
Freedom in madness
I’m living in a fool's paradise
I’ll be dreaming till the day I die
But I'd rather be a dreamer than feel bitter and envy
Yeah I’d rather be a dreamer than admit defeat

Love
04:22
|
|||
You’re patient with me
You’re confident in us
And despite misgivings
You trust love
And love is for the foolish
Love is for the dangerous
For those unafraid
For those who embrace their liberty
and take freedom of their own heart
oh baby I’ve spent too long, dwelling in the pain of my past
I'm ready to fly, I’m ready to fall
I’m ready to
feel, to feel it all
For you
And when I am with you
I feel alive
And suddenly scared to die
I don’t want to waste no more time
cause time is for the optimist
time is for the selfish
For those unafraid
For those who embrace their liberty
and take freedom
of their own heart
Oh baby I’ve spent too long, dwelling in the pain of my past
I'm ready to fly, I'm ready to fall
I'm ready to feel, to feel it all
With you

Baby I love you, I do
I'm just not made to love only you
Baby I'm trying to be true
My last wish is to hurt you
The conflict between head and heart
The mystery of desire
Like moonlight trying to comprehend
The mystery of the night
Baby I love you, I do
But what's right for one and what's real for two?
Baby I try so hard to be true
My last wish is to hurt you
The conflict between head and heart
The mystery of desire
Like moonlight trying comprehend
The mystery of the night
Baby I'm trying to be true
My last wish is to hurt you
So can we have a conversation
with no expectations
just a heart to heart?
cause you and I are best friends
first and foremost
but love is not simple
its complex and undefined
and I need to find my own way

Captive
04:46
|
|||
I will not go silently
I will fight
I am not just charmed by you
I am captive
Day and night
I live and die for you
It’s all on the line
It’s do or die
There is no other way to love
I will not go silently
I will fight
I am not just exposed by you
I am ruined
Day and night
I lived and died for you
I put it all on the line
It’s do or die
There is no other way to love
