Nothingsong 04:16
I should get up but i've got nothing to do So I'll just lie here, and dream of being with you I can hear rain, but I've got nowhere to go So I'll just lie here, and dream of being with you And all this time I can say I love you More than yesterday I should get up but i've got nothing to do So I'll just lie here and dream of being with you I should go out, now the coffee's gone cold But I'll just sit here and dream of being with you And when I'm outside, with people dodging the rain I'll just wander around and dream of being with you And all this time I can say I love you More than yesterday Yes I should go out, now the coffee's gone cold But I'll just sit here and dream of being with you

Freeze 05:00
Something moving under the ice I can feel it under my feet How did we all get so fragile We are cracking, we are falling We didn't think we'd get this far I've something to say to you We do not have to fall apart If you hold me I will hold you The ice is melting we're still standing There is nothing holding us here Sometimes we are not so fragile We are running, without falling We didn't think we'd get this far I've something to say to you Even when we are far apart You feel me and I can feel you You make me feel alive

Maybe if I feel better Maybe I feel so stronger, faster We all need you Everyone So we all need to Come together Nothing is purely anything but There's something I know Maybe with something I know Maybe you feel the highest power You all need it Everyone So we all need to Come together Nothing is purely anything but There's something I know

Lately 04:48
Ooh it's all too much Chemical rush Sugar in the system, sugar in the system Hey hey hey Hot to the touch Seminal crush Beats to the minute, beats to the minute Hey hey hey Lately I've been feeling like I Can take the whole world on and Lately I've been thinking that You are the reason why Day after day Thoughts slip away Bits and pieces, bits and pieces Hey hey hey What to say? Think in grey Tip of the tongue, tip of the tongue Hey hey hey Lately I've been feeling like I Can take the whole world on and Lately I've been thinking that You are the reason why Moving on Here comes some Take it in slowly, take it in slowly Hey hey hey Shining son Tip and run Bring it on home now, bring it on home now Hey hey hey Lately I've been feeling like I Can take the whole world on and Lately I've been thinking that You are the reason why

A moment in Eiffel Tower's glow On this bridge I look below On dark surface of River Seine My heart sunk deep in undertow This passer-by must feel my pain They sense the thoughts I entertain But stays the course and on his way The full moon's glow begins to fade A week ago, on the 10th of May How appropriate, Ascension Day On this bridge where I now keep We first met with hearts in play So quiet now I begin to weep Tears fall into currents deep Up from which the voices creep Calling up to 'take the leap' The sun cast long shadows On that clear blue day we met I was soft gazing on Square Du Vert Galant When a gentle breeze carried the faint sounds Of a woman sobbing I found her leaning on Henry The 4th Dabbing sad eyes with a silk handkerchief It was scented fresh lilac I asked if I could help I was startled when she tucked her arm in mine Leaning gently in and led me on a solemn walk Down and through the triangle-shaped island park I asked if she would like to talk But she did not respond So I did my best to silently comfort her But she did agree and met me the next day In the village of Montmartre And though she was not crying Her dark eyes, and quiet sadness Well, they stole my heart I convinced her to meet me again Over the next few days And was nearly brought to tears The first time I heard her laugh Last night in Moulin Cafe And then today mere hours ago We climbed the steps to Sacre Coeur And watched the sunset over Paris A gust of wind swept up and swirled around us And we drew close and kissed Then I looked into her eyes About to say those words But she suddenly turned and ran away I look up toward the star lit skies Through watery prism of weary eyes And though I plead with true belief There are no answers to my cries Passers by must know my grief Must sense my need for some relief But cross this bridge and on their way Toward late night dinner aperitif A week ago, on the 10th of May How appropriate, Ascension Day On this spot where I now keep We first met with hearts in play But now from River Seine does creep Up to me the fate I reap Whispering up from darkness deep Leading way to twilight sleep I was stunned at first as she ran from me I was in shock as I watched her slip away Down the steps and through some trees I'd searched the past few hours Until mere moments ago Here half way across Pont Neuf I looked down to see her there In the triangle park over Galant Square She was sitting on the river bank Writing the last line of a note With quill and a bottle of ink I ran towards Henry The 4th and the descending stairs The words were reading to burst from my lips I love you! It was passion, it wasn't planned An unwitting act of a jealous hand Stressed and taught around her throat Til her life drained into river sand Below this bridge she lies afloat In shadow unseen by passing boat I read again in disbelief These words in her handwritten note It was this note that caused me grief Tucked inside perfumed kerchief To a new love she felt so deep It was to him this letter, brief I look back down to where she keep Up form now the morbid creep Pulling me down to take the leap Just a moment now before I sleep

If you hear me laugh out loud You know you've got it all I'll share with you my love Of The Sun & The Rainfall If you hear me sing out loud Well you know I can go too far And you know that I'm in love With the sun and the moon and the stars It's how you make me feel It's only you can make me feel If it wasn't for you Don't know what I'd do It's all too much For my senses too If you hear me laugh out loud You know you've got it all I'll share with you my love Of The Sun & The Rainfall If you hear me sing out loud Well you know I can go too far And you know that I'm in love With the sun and the moon and the stars

Epic Fail 04:02
It's a feeling, nothing's really As it ought to be I can see you, but I can't reach you I can't move my feet Tell me something What did you do To make me lose my mind this way? I just want to tell you something Just to make you stay Then I watch you walking But I'm rooted to the floor And I lose my nerve As you walk out the door I want you now! Here we are now both together Even though I don't exist In this moment I am spinning And I can't resist So now I'm walking right up to you But I have nothing I can say Now you're looking straight up at me And I turn away And I feel you leaving But I wanted so much more And I call out to you As you close the door I want you now! Must be something more Touching, talking, moving, walking Sharing, caring, almost daring Loving, feeling, head is reeling Reaching out, in silence screaming I want you now!

Another summer's day to dream away Passes by the time of day The jetstream shimmers in the blue Carries me away to you It's late July but time won't fly It's waiting for the rest of my life I only have you to think about I only have you Been together Never say never We've been together Never say never again Places change And a final insult There's nothing quite so personal again Until the end Another winter night I'm counting down The sleeps until you come around The jetplane lights and satellite Connect me to your dream tonight The Island Bay is tranquil sea The moon will show the way to me I only need you to think about I only need you Been together Never say never We've been together We never say never again Places change And a final insult There's nothing quite so personal again Until the end

It doesn't matter if I'm on my own tonight It doesn't mean that I feel all alone tonight When I feel this way I know I'll be alright You are in my heart When I travel and I'm staring into space When I get there and they don't recognise my face When I'm thinking that my head's not quite in place I close my eyes And realise The feelings rise My god I miss you Wherever I go Whatever I do With you in my heart It feels so good to miss you It doesn't matter that we're miles and miles apart It doesn't matter that I don't want the day to start When I feel this way I listen to my heart You are all I need When there's someone who is trying to get me down When there's nothing but a madness all around When I feel like if I swim I will still drown I close my eyes And realise The feelings rise Oh god I miss you Wherever I go Whatever I do With you in my heart It feels so good to miss you It doesn't matter cos I'll never be alone It doesn't matter now I'm on my way back home It doesn't matter cos the love inside has grown You are in my arms When I'm tired and all I want to do is rest When I know that I'm not acting at my best All I have to do is see you and I'm blessed I close my eyes And realise The feelings rise Oh how I missed you Wherever I go Whatever I do With you in my heart It feels so good to miss you
