Love Is An Alibi
05:27
|
|||
Sweet talk, those words couldn't lie
My eyes were wide open but you still got inside
Was so sure this feeling was right
I was praying and hoping that you'd nothing to hide
But soon I saw right through your clever illusion
You're playing with mind, yeah
You just make your own truth but there's no confusion
Your love is a lie, yeah
It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi
Soon I was eating out of your hand
Knowing I wouldn't see this was part of your plan
What chance did I ever stand
Cos you know all my weakness like the back of your hand
You got me feeling so grateful for crumbs from the table
I don't understand, yeah
How you got me so crazy willing and unstable
You don't give a damn
It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi
Caught in a web of deceit (it's all smoke and mirrors baby)
I saw what I wanted to see (oh yes I did)
Oh just a sweet fantasy (just a fantasy baby)
Not what I thought it would be
It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi
It's just something to use, all a game and a ruse
Just another excuse, yeah love is an alibi
It's just subterfuge, something else to abuse
Don't mean nothing to you, yeah love is an alibi
Caught in a web of deceit (it's all smoke and mirrors baby)
I saw what I wanted to see (oh yes I did)
Oh just a sweet fantasy (just a fantasy baby)
Not what I thought it would be
Aint gonna cry, aint gonna cry no more
All you do is lie, lie, lie, lie.
Not gonna fall not gonna fall any more
Oh babe, its just an alibi
Oh yeah babe, your love is a lie, its just an alibi
Oh baby baby, your love is a lie, your love is a lie
Oh babe, its just an alibi

Sparks May Fly
03:32
|
|||
What the hell have we started
I gotta avoid your gaze I know that look so well
I'm trying to hard to deny it
But there's a chemistry, there's danger I can tell
I'm falling under the spell
Well I think that I know you're feeling the same way
Cos whenever we're close we both try to run away
I guess I should be brave and say what I wanna say
But I'm too scared to even try
Honey I worry what sparks may fly
Where there's smoke there is fire
There's uncontrollable desire, I know it's wrong
I tried to put out the flame but it grew higher
Cos I wanna dance with the devil one time now before he's gone
Guess I'll be seeing him before too long
Well I think that I know you're feeling the same way
Cos whenever we're close we both try to run away
I guess I should be brave and say what I wanna say
But I'm too scared to even try
Honey I worry what sparks may fly
Yes I can see danger ahead
In between all the words that you said
The flicker just burns into red
And knowing that I should be scared
But playing it safe here instead
I guess I'm just easily led
I guess that I know you're feeling the same way
Cos whenever we're close we both try to run away
I guess I should be brave and say what I wanna say
But I'm too scared to even try
Honey I worry what sparks may fly
Sparks may fly, fly
But I'm too scared to even try
Honey I worry what sparks may fly

Stealing Time
04:29
|
|||
Let go, time to grow up and start facing it
You don't know disappointment till you’ve tasted it
And it feels like life’s calling time
And it's last orders at the bar but I didn’t read the signs
It's over, I spent too long cheating nature's ultimatums
And I missed the grand design
Now it's too late, cos time won’t wait
And I know inside I crossed the line
Now I’m only stealing time
False love, fooled to believe that I was having fun
Gullible, true what they say youth’s wasted on the young
And it feels like I’m swimming against the tide
I hope it was worth it I don't even recall the ride
For so long I put everything aside
I assumed the perfect future but it got left behind
Now it's too late, cos time won’t wait
And I know inside I crossed the line
Now I’m only stealing time
Well I wonder how the years so quickly passed me by
No I never knew time could fly
And I squandered every chance I ever had to try
And I never asked why
Now it's the final goodbye
Cos it's too late, no time won’t wait
And I know inside I'm a fool to try
It's too late, time won’t wait
And I know inside I can't change it's mind

Work In Progress
04:59
|
|||
The room's spinning around, I wake to the sound
Of life on a Sunday morning
Head-splittingly loud, their whispers a shout
It's always the same old story, I know
Oh I broke,
Every promise I made to myself yesterday
I can’t keep on going on living life this way
Knowing that disaster's only ever just a bottle away
But I don’t need nobody’s help
I know that I’m broken but I’m mending myself
And you should just know that I’m doing my best
I’m not a fully-fledged mess, I’m just a work in progress
I start every day with my plan to escape
The weight of the world on my shoulders
But my demons awake, I make the same mistake
Keep drowning them over and over again
Can’t explain
Keep talking myself out of ever trying to understand
Spent too many years stuck with my head in the sand
Knowing that tomorrow's only ever one hangover away
But I don’t need nobody’s help
I know that I’m broken but I’m mending myself
And you should just know that I’m doing my best
I’m not a fully-fledged mess, I’m just a work in progress
How long do I wait and which shrink should I pay
And who's really to say if I need it
My emotional state, it's really ok
Well I just need to make them believe it
I’m just kidding myself, how am I gonna fool someone else
So stupid thinking that I could conceal it
I'll quit pretending I'm well, putting myself through this hell
I guess I’ll know that I’m healed when I feel it
Can’t keep on going on living life this way
Knowing that disaster's only ever just a bottle away
No I don’t need nobody’s help
I know that I’m broken but I’m mending myself
And you should go slow cos I don’t need no more stress
I’m not a fully-fledged mess, I’m just a work in progress
No I don’t need nobody’s help
I know that I’m broken but I’m mending myself
And you should just know I’m nothing more nothing less
I’m not a fully-fledged mess, I’m just a work in progress

The Brightest Stars
04:22
|
|||
Headline news, it's like déjà vu
We all saw it coming to them
Tears are shed for the famous dead
We all knew how this one would end
They lived out our dreams, they bet much higher
But we still let them walk into the fire
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
We heard them cry but ignored the signs
Cos it's easier to pretend
It's uncomfortable but we're culpable
Cos we let it happen again
Eaten alive by their own desire
Still we just let them walk into the fire
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars that burn
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
See them on a roll, watch it all unfold
We ignore the call, let them take the fall
Could have saved them all, the blame lies with us all
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
See them on a roll, watch it all unfold
We ignore the call, let them take the fall
Could have saved them all, shame on us all
They're the vulnerable, need us most of all
When will we ever learn
Why, it's always the brightest stars

Swimming Through Fire
05:04
|
|||
Stable, I’m turning my life around
Grateful, I’m living on solid ground
But I take leave of my senses when you are around
And I lose all my defences cos you break them down
Well I become irrational, some may say illogical
I can do the impossible, to bring me closer to you
All I know is that
You take me higher
I'll do anything you say and I'll give you everything
I hang loose on a wire
Yeah you make me wanna play but it's a game I’ll never win
You’re a beautiful liar
It don’t matter what you say yeah I’ll believe in anything
It's just fools desire
And no matter what I do
I know you’re gonna have me swimming through fire
For so long I thought I was over you
Was so wrong if I believed I could see it through
Cos honey you are my addiction, can’t say no to you
Well I’m a walking contradiction, there's nothing I wouldn’t do
Cos I become irrational, some may say delusional
Cos I believe I can do it all, to bring me closer to you
All I know is that
You take me higher
I'll do anything you say and I'll give you everything
I hang loose on a wire
Yeah you make me wanna play but it's a game I’ll never win
You’re a beautiful liar
It don’t matter what you say yeah I’ll believe in anything
It's just fools desire
And no matter what I do
I know you’re gonna have me swimming through fire
Acting kinda like you got me hypnotised
The things you make me do, I must be out of my mind
What kind of fool am I, thinking I could leave it all behind
You tell me baby don’t look down and I believe I can fly
Honey you take me higher
I'll do anything you say and I'll give you everything
I hang loose on a wire
Yeah you make me wanna play but it's a game I’ll never win
You’re a beautiful liar
It don’t matter what you say yeah I’ll believe in anything
It's just fools desire
And no matter what I do
I know you’re gonna have me swimming through fire
Yeah yeah yeah, swimming through fire, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, swimming through fire, yeah yeah yeah

Now here’s a story with a twist about a love I might’ve missed
Telling myself that he’s Mister Wrong
I know perfection don’t exist but I just can’t seem to resist
Making it up as I go along
Cos you’re a daydream, you’re only make believe
You're just the fragments and pieces of every film I’ve ever seen
You’re the best thing that never happened to me.
I keep comparing him to you so its a game he’ll always lose
Cos he don’t even know that it's going on
And if it came down to the two, I wouldn’t know which one to choose
Cos I can’t seem to stop myself holding on
To this daydream, you’re only make believe
You’re every love song ever written and every line I read between
You’re the best thing that never happened to me
I spent my life writing a list defining love’s prerequisites
They keep writing their way into every song
But on this love that I’d insist and every wish I’d ever wished
It's been staring me right in the face all along
Cos you’re just a daydream, you’re only make believe
An unattainable vision you only see on silver screens
You're the best thing that never happened
Yeah you’re a daydream, you’re only make believe
I gotta try not to listen, cos this love just aint what it seems
You're the best thing that never happened to me
Now he’s the best thing that’s gonna happen

Waiting It Out
05:38
|
|||
Is this the darkest of days, fallen into the gaps between
The farthest reaches inside my mind and where I wanna be
Anywhere but here, anywhere but now, anyone but me
Wish I could fast-forward through time and then look back to see
That I've fallen to pieces, but I'm waiting it out, I'm waiting it out
Though no-one can see this, I'm playing it out, I'm playing it out
No-one would believe if I let it all out, I let it all out
There's no way to beat this, so I'm waiting it out, I'm waiting it out
Wish I could see through these eyes from tomorrow's point of view
Give me the beauty of hindsight and it will help me through
But I never learn and it never subsides, my self-deceiving mind
I'm stuck on a loop, helpless to try, gets me every time.
And I've fallen to pieces, but I'm waiting it out, I'm waiting it out
Though no-one can see this, I'm playing it out, I'm playing it out
No-one would believe if I let it all out, I let it all out
There's no way to beat this, so I'm waiting it out, I'm waiting it out
So don't let me go (just hold on tight to me)
Hold on for tomorrow (gotta find a way to be free)
Tell me what I need to know and I'll believe
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces
No-one would believe if I let it all out, I let it all out
There's no way to beat this, so I'm waiting it out, I'm waiting it out
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to, I'm falling to, I'm falling to pieces

Enjoy The Ride
04:00
|
|||
Looks like a new circus is coming to town
I'm playing the fool, you're playing the clown
Our love's a rollercoaster spinning me around
Most days I don't know which way's up and which way's down
No there's nothing wrong here
It's just a summer storm in a teacup
When it's otherwise paradise
In our perfectly chaotic lives
So don't look at the lows, just feel all the highs
We're lucky to be alive
Let everything go and don't open your eyes
And just enjoy the ride
I got a feeling of falling I'm losing my mind
Well I'm laughing and screaming at the same time
Our love's exhilarating, leaves me terrified
Sometimes it drives me crazy but I let it slide
Cos there's nothing wrong here
It's just a summer storm in a teacup
When it's otherwise paradise
In our perfectly chaotic lives
So don't look at the lows, just feel all the highs
We're lucky to be alive
Let everything go and don't open your eyes
And just enjoy the ride
I try to see everything, look through the stormy weather
Keep it high, high, high
Don't hold onto anything, cos we're in it together
Hold on tight, tight, tight, just keep remembering
That when it's all over, oh when it's all over
We'll wanna do it all again now
So don't look at the lows, just feel all the highs
We're lucky to be alive
Let everything go and don't open your eyes
And just enjoy the ride
Don't look at the lows, just feel all the highs
We're lucky to be alive
Let everything go and don't open your eyes
And just enjoy the ride

What U R 2 Me
05:52
|
|||
I can’t put it across, I ain't been here before
I can’t seem to find the words inside me anymore
Baby I’m at a loss, when before I was sure
I can't seem to find that feeling that I’m looking for
Trying to find the perfect line that fits, but an alternative way of saying it
Wanna write another kind of authentic rhyme
That could even nearly start to define what it is you are to me
Yeah what you are to me
It won’t work with a waltz, it's not four to the floor
I can’t seem to find the form that I am looking for
It won’t fit into a 7/8, I can’t stretch it out to 5/4
I need music to translate it like it did before.
I keep searching for a way to find that beat
It seems I'm heading down a lyrical one way street
I've been wasting days on a turn of phrase
Just looking for the perfect way to say
What you are to me, you are to me
You are to me, what you are to me
I tried singing it out, I tried whispering low
But I can't describe this feeling, can't get in the zone
I can't figure out, I can't into flow
It's like trying to find the meaning when the dream has gone
Knowing that it's right on the tip of my tongue
I'm waiting for the moment I know it's done
Adding melody to harmony
I'm a turn it into something to make you see
What you are to me, you are to me,
What you are to me, you are to me
I'm chasing signs, elusive lines
I open up but words just fail me every time
Why they making me wait and refusing to create
Until inspiration finds the language to convey
What you are to me, you are to me,
What you are to me, what you are to me
You are, you are, you are to me, you are

Love Will Overcome Fear

Love will overcome fear
Let love be the voice you hear
Let love be the song you sing
Give it space, let it in
Love will overcome fear
Love can take away pain
Love can wash away the shame
Let it dissolve the lies you hear
Let the darkness disappear
Love will overcome fear
And you can feel alive
You're gonna see the change
The moment you decide
You're gonna break the chains
And let love be your guide
And show the strength you know you have within
All you gotta do is let love in
Love will overcome fear
Love makes everything so clear
If there's confusion in your mind
Love resolves it every time
Love will overcome fear
Love can change your whole world
Love can save you from the cold
Let it just shine it's quiet glow
Make you stronger than you know s
Love will overcome fear
And you can feel alive
You're gonna see the change
The moment you decide
You're gonna break the chains
And let love be your guide
And show the strength you know you have within
All you gotta do is let love in
All you gotta do is let love in
Let love in, let love in

That Ship Already Sailed
03:09
|
|||
I carved my name in a sandy beach today
Then watched the ocean wash it all away
So I'm giving up on endlessly hoping
And I'm making peace with the dreams I let go
Because that ship already sailed
And those plans they got derailed
But I'm having fun in the sun on the shore that's left behind
Yeah I'm living life on the island where the love always shines
And it feels right, it feels right
My dreams of travelling and moving far away
They never seemed more distant than today
So I'm giving up on pointlessly holding onto memories
And chasing yesterday's tail
Because that ship already sailed
And those plans they got derailed
But I'm having fun in the sun on the shore that's left behind
Yeah I'm living life on the island where the love always shines
And it feels right, it feels right
All the things I thought life had in store for me
I was sure it was a certainty
I guess it really wasn't ever meant to be
Because that ship already sailed
And those plans they got derailed
But I'm having fun in the sun on the shore that's left behind
Yeah I'm living life on the island where the love always shines
And it feels right, it feels right
And it feels right

I'm Not Going Anywhere
03:12
|
|||
You've reached the point where you say there's nothing to lose
You can't keep walking this path that you didn't choose
I watch you burn and I, I can feel it too
But I can't let you just take me down with you
I don't know how I can show you I care
So I'll stand my ground even though I am scared
You can push me away just as hard as you dare
But I'm not going anywhere
I feel your anger as if it were my own
The deepest sorrow that I have ever known
I soaked you up you are deep inside my soul
I want you to know that you are never alone
Don't know how I can show you I care
So I'll stand my ground even though I am scared
You can push me away just as hard as you dare
But I'm not going anywhere
Cos I know that this pain is more than you can bear
You keep trying to crash this whole thing
And you won't let me in
But I won't run away I'll be there
I don't know how I can show you I care
So I'll stand my ground even though I am scared
You can push me away just as hard as you dare
But I'm not going anywhere
