Red Tracks
04:02
|

Golden light shines on the street
And the sky is smiling bluer than blue
Some magic is playing on my feet
Keeping my head on by not
Picking up your imagined calls
Flying, I don’t intend to fall
And today, I wake up and I’m alright
And today, I feel fine on my own ride
Someone new's holding my hand
I think of you and I feel blue
“Sorry, I don’t know what I do”
Pulling out of this car crash
When I’m cleaned up it’s not so bad
Brushing off all the things we had
And today, I wake up and I’m alright
And today, I feel fine on my own ride
And now they’re distant memories to me
Opened my eyes, now I see
I see...
Spoken:
Red tracks reach for the sky
Plunge back into my heart
Numbed and I played my part
Coming back now, 1, 2, 3
Never guessed who I’d see
Suddenly now I’m free (aaaaahhhh....!!!)
And today, I wake up and I’m alright
And today, I feel fine on my own ride

The Answer
05:13
|
|||
I know it took some time
But it came to me
after a million lonely nights
If I stay here in my fear
I’d still be wishing for the day
that I would live another life
I couldn’t stay away
from the love of You
Crazy but it’s true
In the cold, cold night, I prayed,
and I vowed to leave
the dark nights and days
Now I’m onto something good,
and if you could see
see this like I do
You’d jump in with no fear,
and I’d watch you diving in
as I am standing here
You couldn’t stay away
from the love of me
Crazy but it’s true
In the cold, cold night, you prayed,
and you vowed to leave
the dark nights and days
If I do not answer, would it bring me back here?
Would it bring me back here?
Would it bring me back here again?
If I do not answer, would it bring me
If I do not answer, would it bring me
If I do not answer, would it bring me
Back here, back here
If I do not answer, would it bring me back here?
(Bring it back, bring back the answer)
Would it bring me back here?
(Bring it back, bring back the answer)
Would it bring me back here?
I don’t wanna be back here again
Don’t wanna be back here again
Don’t wanna be back here again
Don’t wanna be back here again

Missing Out
04:03
|
|||
If you cannot wait
Well that’s ok
But where’s your faith?
Is it time you lack?
Is it a crime that I am sad?
And I confess my life is blind
But soon I’ll be high
I know I can feel it
You’ll be missed but you’ll be missing out
Maybe someday we
Will bump on the morning train
A handshake would do
And I confess my life is blind
But soon I’ll be high
I know I can feel it
You’ll be missed but you’ll be missing out
And now you’ve moved on to another
And now you’ve moved on to another
Now you’ve moved on to another
Boy, you’ve moved on to another side
And I confess my life is blind
But soon I’ll be high
I know I can feel it
You’ll be missed but you’ll be missing out
Missing out
Missing out

Midnight Sky & Glue
04:41
|
|||
Baby, you’re so blue
Heaven stripped away
Midnight sky and glue and
The pasted stars we made
At the start
The waves, they pulled me in
Candlelight for two
All the things that I’d contained
Served on a plate for you
Crossed my heart
The truths are in your eyes
They’re blinding with their hues
What I wanted from the start but
It left me feeling blue
Lost my part
I soar skinless through the seven layers of heaven
Not knowing if it’s night or day, or me or you
And with your kisses and your dulcet tones
I leaped off the edge with my eyes closed
Oh...
Midnight sky and glue
And the pasted stars we made
At the start

Stars
04:07
|
|||
Now here we are; the irony
What a beautiful dream
It’s all a simple mystery
What you’ve done to the world indeed
Oh what more do you need?
Like the stars above
You’re shining out for all to see
You’re bright and lovely, all for real
But you don’t really wanna be like what it is
Now here we are; the irony
What a beautiful sin
It’s all a simple mystery
What you’ve done to the world indeed
Oh what more do you need?
Like the stars above
You’re shining out for all to see
You’re bright and lovely, all for real
But you don’t really wanna be like what it is
Scream it out, take it back
You couldn’t take them all
Still the stars;
They still shine for you
It’s all a simple mystery
What you’ve done to the world indeed
Oh what more do you need?
Oh what more do you need?

Love in the 60s
03:45
|
|||
The days with you are flying by
And I’m so glad that we’re together
I never used to be like this
And every day was just another
The day we met I never thought
That I would ever have your number
I wrote it in my diary
I have it in my head
Ooo-wah-ooo
Ooo-wah-ooo
You always try to do the things that make me happy
I always try to do the things that make you happy
The sun is shining for us and it makes you happy
The stars are shining for us and it makes me happy
These words now come so easily
Since the day I said, “I love you”
I baked for you a cake last week
I hope it’s not too sweet
Daddy says I should be careful
But I know I’m safe when I am with you
He speaks of you, “That nice young man”
Now the 60’s gone, our children are all grand
Ooo-wah-ooo
Ooo-wah-ooo
You always try to do the things that make me happy
I always try to do the things that make you happy
The sun is shining for us and it makes you happy
The stars are shining for us and it makes me happy

Moo Hoo (Say it Again)
04:26
|
|||
Sitting in a room
Wondering where to go
The day is hot outside
My mind is on a roll
Wondering where you are
Wonder what you do
Every time you call
I gun it out on you
Say it again...
You don’t know me, do you?
You told me I was everything to you
But everything just makes you lose your cool
I used to have to tolerate your moods
But now I’m free, so let me be
I used to be so blind
But now I can see you
I took it all the time
Now I take it out on you
You stole my neighbour’s bike
You stole away my heart
I guess I should’ve known that you were
bad news from the start
Say it again...
You don’t know me, do you?
You told me I was everything to you
But everything just makes you lose your cool
I used to have to tolerate your moods
But now I’m free, so let me be
Say it again...
You don’t know me, do you?

One I Can't Forget
03:01
|
|||
I feel like checking up on you again
And I feel dumb when nothing’s changed (most of the time)
I heard you’re doing well, you’ve got someone new
You’ve been together about a year
Sometimes I feel like I’m just bobbing lazily wherever the currents take me
And after all that’s said and done
I kinda miss you
I was never a lake; I was only a shallow pond
Sometimes it’s just too late, and you just gotta carry on
I’m great on the surface, can’t let anyone drag me down
I only think of you every time I screw up
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get out of this drift
You’re proving yourself with somebody else
And I wanna do it too
If the water was deeper,
If I had known the truth
Would it still be real?
You’re the one I can’t forget
And I know that my face reflects my heart
My face reflects my heart

Dusky Promises
04:05
|
|||
Don’t listen to the things they say
When we’re really all the same
And the colour of our skin can’t change
I will shower you with love
And whatever else you want
You’ll depend on me, I’ll be the one
I shall bring you the rainbow, night or day
I will make you laugh just to brighten your day
All these words I say will not go astray
It’s a promise I’ll be there for you every single day
I can’t promise you the world
Or a cruise on the Black Pearl
Still we should give us a try, a whirl
What’s our future? You might say
But let’s just live for today
The future’s overrated anyway
If you agree to be with me tonight
You would make my day and change my life
All these words I say will not go astray
It’s a promise I’ll be there for you every single day

Goldilocks
03:00
|

I sit back and watch the box as it talks
How we all love Goldilocks when she rocks
She came by from a faraway land to stay today
“Her hair’s lovely,” we say
I skip out and smell the breeze brush the leaves
Suits push by; they’re chasing greens through the screen
Step on me, you start carving on the trees
They reach for the sky in your name and your glory
I wish I could watch her play every day
But I can’t sit here and stay, not today
They come by from their material land
To take me away from this dream and this story
Step on me, you start carving on the trees
They reach for the sky in your name and your glory

Cyrcles
03:48
|

You’re blanking, shaking your head at the world
People come and go
That’s just the way it is
They don’t care how you feel
And nothing revolves around your universe
I would try and make it revolve around you
I’ll see how you like it
‘Cause you don’t know how I feel
I’m a bleeding mess of sadness by myself
I thought I’d learn to be happy on my own
Why can’t we be self-contained in the land of the dead?
I’m observing you observing your own head
Why can’t we be self-contained in the land of the dead?
I’m observing you observing your own head
Drawing myself into circles

Scene Kid

Little girl pulls on her skirt
She’s got smoke in her eyes
When does the party stop tonight?
Her mom was just sixteen
She drank and danced all night
With dark kohl on her eyes, her eyes
She never liked to cry
And it was always different at night
Little girl just wants some fun
She dances to the beat
And she claps as the band starts to play
Her daddy’s on the stage
He makes the crowd go wild
He knows just how to make them high
His name will never die
And it was always different at night

The Way Back
05:18
|
|||
Closing in on my heels
The ground is slipping out from under me
Didn’t know where to go
But the more I ran I thought I would be free
Since I’ve gone,
I’ve been finding my way back home
Tried to grow
But I went too far from where I wished to go
All the things I’d known
All the love you’d shown
Saved me
All the jaded souls
All the seeds you’d sown
Showed me
I tried my best to see
But their veils covered my heart, entangled me
Almost overthrown,
Couldn’t kill the flowers of the seeds you’d sown
Since they’ve gone,
I’ve been finding my way back home
You should know
That this time I’ll stay and find out on my own
All the things I’d known
All the love you’d shown
Saved me
All the jaded souls
All the seeds you’d sown
Showed me
Spoken:
I didn’t know where to go but
The more I ran the more I thought I would be free
I didn’t see that all the times I was sinking
You were the one holding me
All the things I’d known
All the love you’d shown
Saved me
All the jaded souls
All the seeds you’d sown
Showed me the way back

Holding on with Dreamers
04:36
|

And it won’t feel the same
And it doesn’t feel the same
And it’s just not the same anymore
But we wouldn’t want to change
Yeah, we wish it’d stay the same
Though things are not the same anymore
Woke up from a dream with a song in my head
There’ll always be many things left unsaid
And even as you went we hung on to the seams
Broken lovers do it all the time when they can’t leave
And it won’t feel the same
And it doesn’t feel the same
And it’s just not the same anymore
But we wouldn’t want to change
Yeah, we wish it’d stay the same
Though things are not the same anymore
We’re just a bunch of kids building castles in the clouds
Don’t know if it’ll hold us long enough to make you proud
And it’s not easy working in this monsoon-summoned rain
And it gets harder holding on with dreamers every day
And we wish it were the same
Wondering why things have changed
But they’re just not the same anymore
But we wouldn’t want to change
Yeah, we wish it’d stay the same
Though it’s just not the same anymore
Been staring at the wall in my office-covered shoes
And they all chase me down but I’ve nothing left to prove
But if I picked up my guitar and did those things again
I don’t know how we’d live despite the things we said
And I don’t feel the same
And I haven’t felt the same
And I’m just not the same anymore
So we wouldn’t want to change
Despite the things they say
Though it’s just not the same anymore
Anymore

Safer Place to Lie
05:08
|
|||
We built our dreams in melted glass
With a promise we would last
It made no difference, right or wrong
To the world we would shine on
What we wanted for so long
But it wasn’t what we thought
Shot to hell, we carried on
With our heads held high and
It all would run in our own time
Tore my heart out, made yours mine
This world was yours and mine alone
But what we felt, we couldn’t own
The fall was long, the battle fought
Fists held high and
You stood high and I stood tall
And we turned to face it
And we take it away
Leave it all behind
We take it away
We’re finding our own light
We take it away
And there is where we’ll find
A safer place to lie
Our heads were clouded up in space
Ran out of time in our own race
With just a thread, I would hold on
And pull myself where we belong
Suddenly, it was so clear
In the shattered fragments
I kept the flowers as they died
As their beauty faded
So we take it away
Leave it all behind
We take it away
We’re finding our own light
We take it away
And there is where we’ll find
A safer place to lie
A safer place for us to lie

I’ve waited so long
So long, so long
To be in your arms
So warm, so warm
But you have sworn upon the thunderstorm
The leaves begin to fall, our memories wash away
In our hearts, we all long for company
But if all the world was right, then you’d be here with me
Oh the days of fairy tales
And warm caresses
But you’ve gone away
Away, away from me
And you have sworn upon the thunderstorm
The leaves begin to fall, our memories wash away
In our hearts, we all long for company
But if all the world was right, then you’d be here with me
Then you’d be here with me
