HERE AND NOW
V1
I left the light on in the hall
so I could find my way back again.
And look beyond what I could
figure out in my stubborn head.
I keep a picture in my mind
of that time of my life I had
So I don’t loose the sense
of that to search for who I am
CHORUS
Don’t wanna be running
just want to be living
I got all that I need right
Here and now
Don’t want to be fighting
just wanna be trying
to make most of my chances
Here and Now
V2
Stand back take a breath
theres a time for everything
Your the only one thats racing
to the top of the hill
I was here from the start
I had your back if you needed me
But I wont lower myself to the gutter your in
A MINUTE
V1
Ive walked in the darkness long enough
to see my way
looking over my shoulder
just to keep myself awake
But walking home in the evening through
the city streets in bloom
well, thats the day I knew
my eyes fixed on you
V2
Its pouring down on me like
I done something wrong
and this nervous sweat Im in
is too cold to keep me warm
but while Im trying to keep myself
from falling at your feet
I find it hard to breath
on this city street
BRIDGE
Im on my knees like I'm trying to pray
But no ones listening to what I've got to say
what If the devil in me, meets the angel in you
CHORUS
We could be changing the world
While were changing our minds
Only takes a minute
I could have walked in the rain
But I ran for my life
Only takes a minute
There could someone else
standing here
soaked to the skin
but I'm talking with you
cause a minute changes everything
V3
The clothes on my back is all I have
To my name
But Ill treat you like my queen
my muse my burning flame
I left my sense behind
the second i saw your face
Now i’m a crazy fool
I'm caught up on you.
SHE SAYS
V1
She never understood the daytime
even with the lights on
she fell asleep
Just to wake, in the dark,
when theres no one up, to hear her scream.
She never really felt excepted
always held her head high
amongst the crowd
but the tears that fell, when her eyes,
could see no one else around
CHORUS
Oh oh, happiness is but a dream
oh oh she says
oh oh, my life is not what it seems
oh oh, she says
V2
Staring at the sky she wonders
what her life would look like
from way up the there
just a speck, of dirt, in a world,
thats lost and doesn't care.
MIDDLE 8
‘As the rain falls down on me’
THIS IS OUR WORLD
V1
I want it
Can taste it now
I see it
in front of my face
and its making a fool of me
What would you do?
V2
my demons
are calling
but Im ready
to give it to them
this fire that burns in me
What would you do?
BRIDGE
Follow your destiny
CHORUS
Cause we
we are the ones
we are not innocent to a smoking gun
this is a world…..
what you gonna do about it?
V3
Break free from
what enslaves you friend
I see it
its dragging you down
Like you swim with your clothes on
SUPERPOWER
V1
All this time, I thought of you
wondering how you’ve been
where you are
and with who?
I never looked at another
since we said goodbye
i’m haunted day and night
by the ghost of you
CHORUS
Just because you are a superpower
doesn't mean to say that its all for you
maybe in another lifetime
i’ll be the one that will conquer you.
V2
My memories have built me up again,
but its a long way down
when you cant see the ground
Im staring deep into nothing
just to think of you
like searching deep in a box
of a lost and found
MIDDLE 8
Im falling from
a senseless dream
I keep holding on to this hopeless scene
caught in a daze
feet stuck to the ground
the whisper of your ghost
is the only sound
IM ALIVE
V1
I got the price in my hand
of a ticket home
But I’ve worked from the morning till night
I could sleep on this street just to rest my bones
But I haven't got the time.
Never claimed that I knew
any more than I do
Kept my head down and ears to the street
Im not a man that can talk my way to the top
Id rather use my feet.
BRIDGE
If Im at the end of the line
I haven't found what I wanted to find
ooohhhoohhh
CHORUS
Im Alive
Just a - a bit broken
Its taking everything thats in me
just to feel good
Im Alive
Just a - a bit faded
The Silver lining of a cloud is here to
rescue me
whats it got for you?
V2
Take your good will gesture
Your broken words
Don't you patronise my shame
Ive got my head held eye
and the sense to say
that I wont play you game
STAY
V1
Light into the darkness
she's holding her hand out
to catch a star
she looks cold under the moonlight
whats keeping her warm is my beating heart
oh I’m nervous trying to hold back
my quivering voice from speaking wrong
but I cant seem to shake what Im feeling
and she doesn’t know whats going on.
BRIDGE
I got to slow it down
Take a breath or two
I won't know where to go
If I don't have you
Id be running with my eyes closed
in the dark
I try to say your name
Without it taking aim
My time is running out
I cant let you go
cause we could light the night sky
with this spark
CHORUS
If you Stay….Stay……Stay with me
there could be nothing I’ve wanted more
stay….stay……..stay with me
We could be the lightning in this storm
V2
Its late, the sun is appearing,
its making its way up towards her face
she's crying, talking of leaving
wishing the pieces, would fall into place
I hold her, wanna tell her my story
tell her Ive been thinking about her
night and day
END
If I have ever loved
If I have tasted Lust
They know nothing of
What I feel for loss
If I have ever seen
the days and nights go slow
I still know nothing of
A minute without this love
WORLDS APART
V1
The suns gonna shine on you
Ive listen to the stories lies and truth
They’re your choices come what may
but ill be the wind on your back
each day.
CHORUS
Im standing here an world apart
Heavy from my beating heart
waiting for my life to change with you
Im standing here a world apart
oh I'm shaking from my beating heart
waiting for my life to change with you
V2
Learn when you get t wrong
im still trying to figure out where i belong
Life’s a picture that you have to paint
take your time, there’s no such thing
as too late
CHORUS
oh and Im wanting my life to change with you.
HOME
V1
The sun goes down
in a place that feels unknown
And the darkest night
become alight for everyone
I take my time
try to figure out whats wrong
take a breath
and all I think about is home
CHORUS
No one said it was easy on your own
we learn the hard way it seem
chasing dreams running miles from where your from
to lift your feat off the ground
V2
Might take a trip
down a road you don't want to go
Try and fail
at a chance that has come and gone
When your on you knees
and there’s nowhere else as low
Take a breath
and try to think about home
2 BACK TO 1
V1
I dont know where to turn
my hand is missing the touch of your skin
If I could step back in time
for a day with you
or just an hour or two
CHORUS
Looking at a face that suppose to be me
with my hand on the mirror where you used to be
watchin every move that I make
A life like mine needs a life like yours
for a river cant run till the rain can pour
and im lost at every move that I make
V2
I think I've left it too late
I felt the pain in the pit of myself
I took my heart in my hands
It watched me break in two
as I watched it beat for you
CHORUS
END
Lost before you knew where you were
found before you knew you were scared
Rush toward the mist of the dawn
and Ill hide behind this pain till your gone
Swept into the dark of the night
Just before this city could bite
now I'm marching to the beat of the drum
as I turn my life from 2 back to 1.
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
V1
Cold, cold as a stone
breath like a cloud
in the morning sun
sole’s of my feet
battered and torn
Ive been walking all night,
from dusk to dawn
BRIDGE
But you’ve never been far from my mind
Ive been looking but I cant find
CHORUS
Someone like you
Ive turned this world upside down
To search for the truth
Is it me who dropped this flame on the ground
we were close but yet so far
but my heart has incased your scar.
V2
Your face
on a girl I don't know
seems your everywhere
I want to go
cant find my way out
Im stuck in this box
Ive been looking for doors
I keep finding locks
HEARSAY
V1
Theres a rumour going round
poisoning this town
as it whispers in your ear
in a place I haven't seen
saying things you haven't been
Don't believe what you’ve been told
CHORUS
It’s just hearsay.
Word of mouth wrong information
Its Hearsay
Don't believe what they’ve been saying
Talking is cheap but you pay in the end if your looking for someone to blame
Talking is cheap but you pay in the end if your looking for someone to shame
V2
like a thorn stuck in your side
You could run and you could hide
But the truth will catch you out
The facts are hard to preach
When a rumour cuts you deep
its Only strong as its weakest link
MIDDLE 8
Where am I gonna go
Searching for truth
But no one knows
BURN DOWN
V1
We left all that we had behind a stone cold wall
thinking we d never be back
I know its tough when were standing on a tight rope
But you wont walk it alone cause I wont let you go
Theres a fire thats Raging through our empty house
burning memories of the time we had
and the life we have
But Its just ashes the fall to the ground
CHORUS
let everything just Burn Down
Let it burn and watch it Blaze
Let everything just burn down
let it burn and we’ll start again
V2
I wear my heart on my sleeve
so you can hear it beat
But it is torturing me
its like a ticking time bomb in a crowded street
searching for air in a box when it gets hard to breath
if theres a burning bridge in the way of our life
lets go back the road we came
Just to walk it again find the flame
that has started this cause to ignite
MIDDLE 8
Talking in turn for the chance to say
whats making this right turn the wrong way
nothing makes sense but whats in our hands
the time that it took for to understand
let everything just burn down
burn down again.
FIGHT FOR LIFE
V1
In the back room
through a cold steal door
sits a man with nothing left to gain or lose
he cant take anymore
Falling down on his knees
He has a name on his arm for luck
puts his hands across the words
closes his eyes
and thinks of her
I wish you were here
CHORUS
Dont believe your eyes
Its what you feel inside
and that pain is only here
for you to realise that your still alive
Take your silver and gold
you’ve been bought and sold
This life is not a game
but its a battle of the week and the bold
Fight for life
V2
Back alley
In the pouring rain
cries a girl thats torn apart
from shooting up
just to ease the pain
with a last cry to the heavens
she wears a ring on her coldest hand
as she reaches to the stars
deep down she knows
but cant understand
Hes not coming back’
MIDDLE 8
Oh oh, when there’s nothing left to say
its always dark when you open your eyes
cause your breath’s been taken away
Time waits for no one to feel
a choice for you to make
this one’s for you to take
Fight for life
