Who The Hell I Am 03:41
lyrics
buy track
When you hear me say that something is about to change Then it will, yes it will When you hear me say that life will bring me better days Then it will, yes it will Who are you to say that I could never climb the highest mountain? Who are you to say that I could never swim the deepest ocean? Who are you to say that I could never fight and make it happen? Well I don't think you know Who the hell I am Who the hell I am Nothing you can say will ever shut me down again No it won't, no it won't Nothing you can say will hold me like a ball and chain Said it won't, no it won't Cause, who are you to say that I could never climb the highest mountain? Who are you to say that I could never swim the deepest ocean? Who are you to say that I could never fight and make it happen? Well I don't think you know Who the hell I want to be, I want to be Well someday soon you're gonna see, you're gonna see Who the hell I am Give it time Who are you to say that I could never climb the highest mountain? Who are you to say that I could never swim the deepest ocean? Who are you to say that I could never fight and make it happen? Well I don't think you know, no, no, no Who are you to say that I could never climb, cause I'm not falling Who are you to say that I could never swim, cause I'm not drowning Who are you to say that I could never fight, cause I'm not stopping And someday you will know Who the hell I am Who the hell I am Who the hell I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, yeah And someday you will know

She's Into You 03:35
lyrics

She loves taking the stage, stealing the show Every location is a scene That stars the drama queen She loves driving her car out in the rain Splashing the puddles to the kerb A hundred Ks in third And she is into you, into you She's into you like nothing else Cause all she talks about, talks about Is how is a love she's never felt Since chilling out with you around is all she wants to do It's obvious, obvious She's into you Yeah, she's into you She loves crackers and dip, hummus preferred Served with some camembert or brie And chamomile tea Oh, and she loves dancing to jazz, singing along All of the lyrics have their moves Though they're rarely sung in tune And she is into you, into you She's into you like nothing else Cause all she talks about, talks about Is how is a love she's never felt Since chilling out with you around is all she wants to do It's obvious, obvious She's into you, do, do, do, you, do, do, do You, do, do, do, do She's into you, do, do, do, you, do, do, do You, do, do, do, do She's into you She is into you, into you I'm telling you so, oh If there's one thing about this girl you really need to know She is into you, into you She's into you like nothing else Cause all she talks about, talks about Is how is a love she's never felt Since chilling out with you around is all she wants to do It's obvious, obvious She's into you, do, do, do, you, do, do, do You, do, do, do, do She's into you, do, do, do, you, do, do She's into you, yeah, into you She's into you

What would you say if I couldn't be the guy that I often am What would you say if I couldn't do the things that I often can Everything has left me vacant Everything has gone I'm just an outline I'm just an outline I'm just an empty space tonight Blank on the outside Blank on the inside Stuck in a world of black and white I'm just an outline tonight Colour me in Colour me in What would you do if I couldn't brave the rest of the night alone And what would you do if I couldn't fight this apathy on my own Help me find a new perspective Help me back to life Cause I'm just an outline I'm just an outline I'm just an empty space tonight Blank on the outside Blank on the inside Stuck in a world of black and white I'm just an outline of myself But I've become somebody else So bring back the colour Bring back the colour Colour me in Cause I'm just an outline, yeah I'm just an empty space tonight Blank on the outside Blank on the inside Stuck in a world of black and white So what would you say now What would you say now Say it to me, yeah What would you do now What would you do now Be what I need, yeah Cause I'm just an outline, tonight Colour me in Colour me in Colour me in

New York Tonight 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Caught in the havoc of peak hour traffic And lost in a world of my own Staring at strangers and dreaming of places That I've always wanted to go Can you book me on the next flight out of here? Got a suitcase, passport, nothing planned all year I could crash and burn, but I don't care It's never felt so right Fly me to New York tonight Everyone tells me to go where my heart leads But doubt that I'll follow it through Well, when I arrive in the heart of Manhattan A postcard will break them the news Can you book me on the next flight out of here? Got a suitcase, passport, nothing planned all year I could crash and burn, but I don't care It's never felt so right Fly me to New York tonight Well the journey begins when I buy the one way fare And I'll fill in the rest of the details once I'm there I'm as free as a bird and a bird is born to fly So fly me away tonight Can't believe I've booked the next flight out of here Got a suitcase, passport, nothing planned all year I could crash and burn, but I don't care It's never felt so right Fly me to New York tonight Fly me to New York tonight Fly me to New York tonight

I owe you a song The song you deserve A beautiful melody With beautiful words Life becomes beautiful When you do the beautiful things that you do Life becomes beautiful Beautiful you I complicate life It complicates me But you give me oxygen And teach me to breathe And life becomes beautiful When you do the beautiful things that you do Life becomes beautiful Beautiful you Beautiful you, you, you Life becomes you, beautiful you I can't write the song The song you deserve You mean more than melodies You mean more than words Cause life becomes beautiful When you do the beautiful things that you do Life becomes beautiful Beautiful you Life becomes beautiful When you do the beautiful things that you do Life becomes beautiful Beautiful you

Was it just a joke or did you mean the words you said Lately every undertone has held a bitter edge We could laugh it over But I've had enough and I'm about to break About to break Give yourself an ego boost and try to shoot me down Either I can bite my tongue or serve it back around Well, I don't like the options Cause I've had enough and I'm about to break So, b-b-b-b-b Bubble wrap my mind Bubble wrap my heart Bubble wrap my dreams before you shatter them apart And handle me with care By holding me upright And marking me as fragile on the package of my life Bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, B-b-b-b-b-bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, yeah, yeah Sticks and stones and broken bones, it's just an empty rhyme Words will never hurt me but they'll kill me over time I can hide the bruises But I've had enough and I'm about to break So, b-b-b-b-b Bubble wrap my mind Bubble wrap my heart Bubble wrap my dreams before you shatter them apart And handle me with care By holding me upright And marking me as fragile on the package of my life Bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, B-b-b-b-b-bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, yeah So bubble wrap my soul Bubble wrap my hope before there's nothing left at all Just handle me with care Cause no one wants to break B-b-b-b-b Bubble wrap my mind Bubble wrap my heart Bubble wrap my dreams before you shatter them apart And handle me with care By holding me upright And marking me as fragile on the package of my life Bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, B-b-b-b-b-bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, yeah, yeah B-b-b-b-b-b, B-b-b-b-b-bubble wrap me B-b-b-b-b-b, yeah

Sooner or Later 04:51
lyrics

How long have I been in a coma Living as a person with no persona How long have I sacrificed everything I am out of fear? And how long have I been an illusion Adding to the haze of the world's confusion How long have I censored a million mixed up words you should hear? Sooner or later, sooner or later I'll fit the pieces into place Sooner or later, sooner or later You'll see the triumph on my face I will be wiser, I will be stronger More than the little boy you knew Later will be here soon Later will be here soon How long have I run from rejection Searching for my worth in a misconception How long have I waited to sing my anthem out loud and clear? Sooner or later, sooner or later I'll fit the pieces into place Sooner or later, sooner or later You'll see the triumph on my face I will be wiser, I will be stronger More than the little boy you knew Later will be here soon Later will be here soon I'm almost ready I hope that you're ready Cause sooner or later I'll fit the pieces into place Sooner or later You'll see the triumph on my face I will be wiser, I will be stronger More than the little boy you knew Later will be here soon Later will be here soon Later will be here soon Later will be here soon I'll fit the pieces into place You'll see the triumph on my face I'll fit the pieces into place You'll see the triumph on my face, yeah I don't want to be in a coma Living as a person with no persona I don't want to be an illusion Adding to the haze of the world's confusion I don't want to run from rejection Searching for my worth in a misconception...

The Way Life Goes 03:54

Over the summertime You often crossed my mind And I would have called if life didn't move so fast Then out of the blue I heard A tragedy had occurred I broke down and cried and asked myself why This is the way life goes This is the way life goes I could have tomorrow I could have a hundred years Maybe I won't Cause any given moment We can think we have it all Next thing we don't This is the way life goes This is the way life goes Wish I could let you know Your name is still in my phone I'm keeping you there so I don't forget that This is the way life goes This is the way life goes I could have tomorrow I could have a hundred years Maybe I won't Cause any given moment We can think we have it all Next thing we don't Yeah, we could have tomorrow We could have a hundred years Maybe we won't Cause any given moment We can think we have it all Next thing we don't See, this is the way life goes This is the way life goes This is the way life comes And this is the way life goes

Love, love, love Crying out for love, love, love, yeah Walking through a sea of faces Each another face without a name Every glance a different story Every story more or less the same Everybody's crying out for love Living to be loved, dying to be loved And everybody's looking for their chance to feel complete We're digging deep below and searching high above Crying out for love, love, love Crying out for love, love, love, yeah Every man and every woman Black or white or any shade between Straight or gay, it doesn't matter Any faith we do or don't believe The one thing that we can't deny is Everybody's crying out for love Living to be loved, dying to be loved And everybody's looking for their chance to feel complete We're digging deep below and searching high above Crying out for love, love, love Crying out for love, love, love Well, everybody's crying out But what if everybody answered back? Everybody's crying out for love Living to be loved, dying to be loved And everybody's looking for their chance to feel complete We're digging deep below and searching high above Crying out for love Crying out for love And everybody's looking for that chance to feel complete We're digging deep below and searching high above Crying out for love I'm crying out for love, love, love You're crying out for love, love, love We're crying out for love

Broke 02:37
lyrics

Spent the weekend inside Spent it all to myself Cause I couldn't afford spending anything else I copped another parking fine And couldn't pay the rent on time The Mastercard is soaring high Cause I'm so broke Pulling back on the costs Cutting bills to survive Given up on the car, too expensive to drive Some stranger stopped me on the train And asked if I could spare some change I almost begged him for the same Cause I'm so broke Someday I'll do much better These days won't last forever I'll live them out for all they're worth Cause I'm not defined as someone Based on my annual income I'm far from broken, I'm just broke So broke Trying hard for some work Trying harder for cash Trying hardest to keep what I'm losing in tax Cause after this financial year The bulk of it will disappear At least I've got a cool career While I'm so broke Yeah yeah, I'm sure I'll cope Yeah yeah, I won't lose hope Don't care, that I'm so broke

Fourteen Hours 03:31
lyrics
buy track
It's the travel, it's the distance, it's the timing When your sun sets and your clouds fall, mine are rising But don't hesitate to call I'll talk any hour at all Even though I'm living fourteen hours behind Well our watches aren't exactly coinciding When your moon hides and your stars fade, mine are shining When I should be counting sheep I'm missing you more than sleep Even though I'm living fourteen hours behind Just to hear the sound of your voice Floating across the sea Seems to make me question the choice Of where I would rather be It's the travel, it's the distance, it's the timing When your sun sets and your clouds fall, mine are rising But don't hesitate to call I'll talk any hour at all Even when today is your tomorrow Call the cell phone by my pillow I will answer, never mind the time Even though I'm living fourteen hours behind
