A small lapse of silence I'm laughing again My eyes caught your fire The heat from within Our little secret They don't know about I'm stuck with this feeling That wants to get out Won't you show your smile? We will dance by the fire It may last a while; This feeling inside Keep your eyes wide and shine through the night We will rise I'm surprised You and I A loving life Together And now that we're older We know what it's like Our hearts will grow stronger The lust and desire Won't you close your eyes Take my hand We'll start a fight A little lullaby A morning sunrise Yeah And tonight We'll arrive You and I A morning light Dry your eyes Take my hand We'll start a fight Together

Memories 04:32
I don't know why But I never dared to look you in the eyes Still, I believe It was for the best, I'd never stand a chance I didn't know what to say So I ran away, to hide from all the pain Please tell me what to do Won't you? Oooh Once I found the guts to say These words I used to dream of every day I sat down next to you We were all alone, while everybody knew And as I tried to say your name I stumbled and you let me feel the pain And with nowhere left to go I ran and I cried I hoped and lied 'Cause no one tells me I'm not the same A childhood dream is not a game Oooh x4 And once I knew the truth I quickly got back up and understood Our life means so much more Than to constantly keep hitting the same walls Though I tried to do my best, I needed to break to get back up again And after all these years, I don't think I could ever love you, dear

Wanderers 04:28
I've never seen the smile of an angel, but they say it's very nice I'm wandering all by myself through this town There's nothing on my mind There's no one left to save me I've got no one to rely on You're coming home to see me but I Left my bags behind Oooh x4 There's people around me, they're smiling, loving, and taking what is left My vision is blurred, there's a reason I'm hurt There's no way out for me I'm crumbling, stumbling, come on people Show me what it's like I want to get out, there's no reason to doubt It's slowly killing me Why the hell am I still trying to be Someone I don't like A mishaped person, with fantasies A dream of shattered lies Why the hell am I still trying to be Someone I don't like A mishaped and lonely entity A slowly wasted life Why the hell do you still want me to be Someone I don't like A perfect spirit, unfortunately Broken by your lies Oooh x4 I've never seen the smile of an angel and I Don't care what it's like You promised the world to me, unwilling to believe Nothing felt quite right These people around me were already doubting the essence of my life I'm already sorry for you to be worried, I'm Leaving you behind I've always been afraid of stranger things, but I've Come to realise I'm perfectly able to work my way out the comforts of your lies The angels they're talking of slowly become Monsters in disguise My perfect escape, my oddyssey I've dreamt of all my life

I've seen you passing by Off the beaten path And just when I lost the fight Oh, you found my heart Why was I the only one Searching for the dark Where love and hate are meaningless You take me to the start Just fly high Fly high We are looking at the skies Watch the sun rise Dreaming of a better life You tell me it's all right Just fly high Fly high Oooh x4 While everything seems to dissapear I'm still counting all the years Since you and I first kissed Oh, we can fly Far away from here And we could cast away those fears Oh, please just show me the way home Oh, take me home Won't you please just show me the way home

Waking in the middle of the night Staring at the ceiling, waiting for a change to come but All the things I ever said and done, they make me wanna jump back to the start Life is short, we know it There's nothing in this world we can do to make it all worthwhile, but When I hold your hand it feels like time stops moving, and is that not what we're all living for? I'm just trying to change I'm simply trying to change the way we live The way we live We don't know what's out there Our world is filled with wonders and places to lose track of time, well What are we all doing with this chance we're given It's a simple life we're trying to live Oh, and ignorance is bliss, they say Then why do I feel sorry for the lives that are all the same Where most of us are blinded by the comforts and care of the people that we've accidentally met one day I'm just trying to change I'm only trying to change the way we live The way we live

Don't you wanna go now? Go home tonight Dry your eyes, we'll meet another time And as the waves roll by And roll down my spine You hold me tight, and tell me it's alright We had a wonderfull time We had a wonderfull time We had a wonderfull time Yeah, you and I Take my hand, and look me in the eyes And as I pack my bags, and say goodbye The rain comes falling from the sky Oooh x4 I don't want to lie It hurts to say goodbye There's no thing that I Will keep from you tonight 'Cause it's okay to cry Don't you wanna know why? You shouldn't hide 'Cause somewhere, you're on someone's mind And every step you take, and hand you shake Will lead you to the half that fits you well But I don't want to lie It hurts to say goodbye There's no thing that I Could keep from you tonight 'Cause it's okay to cry But I don't want to lie It hurts to say goodbye There's no thing that I Could keep from you tonight 'Cause it's okay to cry

Coming Home 01:02
I wake to find my Lover Crying Underneath the Misletoe Where have I been All this time, I'm Coming home to Be alone Coming home to Be alone Coming home to Be alone

Mysteries 05:21
ometimes I think of Ways to relieve and I sing myself a song, sing myself a song No one wants to talk to me My birthday is a mystery There's no one to deny, no one to deny 'Cause it's the end of the day I'm feeling afraid I just want you, I just want you 'Cause it's the end of the day I'm feeling ashamed 'Cause I just want you, I just want you to know That I don't know why, With the sun in the sky, I'm feeling alone So far from home It's not been the same I'm wasting every day Got nothing else to do But thinking about you But it's over And it's over, now It's the end of the day I'm feeling afraid, 'Cause I just want you, I just want you And it's the end of the day I'm feeling ashamed, 'Cause I just want you, I just want you to know

Under stormy nights You wallow in the deep She knows just where to find you when you're Running out of sleep She takes me by the hand As simple as it seems You don't even look back when she's Colouring your dreams She's the one who shows you when you're in a quiet stream Or underneath the covers, when you're in a bad, bad dream I guess I'm growing older, it's hard to know that this ain't real I don't care what's out there, no ones gonna find me here
