Feel It 03:37
I’ve started branching outwards My mind is coming up I’m questioned by the doubters Well come and have a look I’m on another level Stood on the highest ledge I’m pushing on the pedal And lapping all the rest Feel it It’s all you need Feel it Just come with me Feel it And you will see Or you will never know (x2) You take me to the rooftops I’m sitting on the sun I feel the heat wave coming And it has just begun You’ve really got me going Enter the golden arch I’ve waited for a lifetime When is it gonna start? Feel it It’s all you need Feel it Just come with me Feel it And you will see Or you will never know (x2)

As you slip into the shade and hide behind the night The end has surely settled into sight It’s hard to differentiate between the enemies And those who claim to only come in peace I don’t really know what’s real It all comes down to how I feel I’m losing track of wrong and right The truth has faded out of sight Where did all my morals go? I guess that we will never know I’m losing track of who I am Why so unpredictable and always on the edge? Balancing with one foot off the ledge Waiting for an opening to paper up the cracks Darting through and never looking back I don’t really know what’s real It all comes down to how I feel I’m losing track of wrong and right The truth has faded out of sight Where did all my morals go? I guess that we will never know I’m losing track of who I am

Meant To Be 04:00
You know sometimes you’re gonna feel like life can be your worst enemy ‘Cause it’ll pick you up then throw you down and leave you begging for mercy Don’t ever try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be You spend your whole life earning money when the best things in your life are free You go through ecstasy, sympathy, controversy to tragedy, Oh yeah Don’t ever try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be No don’t you try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be So who am I to be ungrateful for the things that I have in my life? When there are people who’d give anything to have a bed for just one night Well don’t it put it into perspective so I’ll never say it’s not alright Yeah it’s a crazy little journey but you’ve got to stay upon that road You can take a little detour just as long as you know where it goes But if you have to stop you start again ‘cause that is just the way it goes Yeah if you have to stop you start again ‘cause that is just the way it goes You know sometimes you’re gonna feel like life can be your worst enemy ‘Cause it’ll pick you up then throw you down and leave you begging for mercy Don’t ever try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be You spend your whole life earning money when the best things in your life are free You go through ecstasy, sympathy, controversy to tragedy, Oh yeah Don’t ever try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be No don’t you try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be Don’t ever try to understand it ‘cause it’s just the way it’s meant to be

You are desirous of much more than I can give And I am through with my failed attempts to live up to your image I’m not your fool or a figure in your picture perfect scene There are no rules that I must abide by no they’re all in your dreams I’m always rushing around But I’m rooted to the ground i am just the one you’ve found Not the one you really need And I need some space to see Through the animosity And the way that you hold me Under your lock and key I am not the one you need I’m just the one you see There are plenty more stood behind me I am not the one you want I’m just the first you’ve found Won’t you take the time to look around Sit on the window ledge I won’t give you my concern I’ll never fit into your deluded fiction sprinkled world Can you not see that I’ll never sweep you off your tired feet Ultimately it will end in tears and they won’t be shed by me I’m always rushing around But I’m rooted to the ground i am just the one you’ve found Not the one you really need And I need some space to see Through the animosity And the way that you hold me Under your lock and key I am not the one you need I’m just the one you see There are plenty more stood behind me I am not the one you want I’m just the first you’ve found Won’t you take the time to look around I am not the one you need I’m just the one you see There are plenty more stood behind me I am not the one you want I’m just the first you’ve found Won’t you take the time to look Won’t you take the time to look Won’t you take the time to look around

Let Me Out 04:20
I’ve got all these premonitions running through my mind And seventeen of them are running out of time I feel reluctant to close my eyes Incase I see your shadow beneath the midnight skies Everyone is telling me to rest my thoughts They look at me as if to say he’s lost the plot but little do they know you’re pulling all the strings Leaving me totally helpless to the state I’m in Yeah you’ve got me in your palm And it’s everything I need Even if I felt the urge There is no way I could leave No I couldn’t leave I can’t see baby No I can’t breathe I’ve spent hours trying to convince myself I’m done That I may aswell just spend my time chasing the sun At the pivotal old turning point of left or right I always find myself following your light I’m really sick and tired of the games you play I’m gloriously terrified of what you’ll say When I feel my conscience telling me today’s the day Will it end in bliss or all become dismay Yeah you’ve got me in your palm And it’s everything I need Even if I felt the urge There is no way I could leave No I couldn’t leave I can’t see baby No I can’t breathe So I’ve taken it upon myself To get out baby And that’s it we’re through A thousand miles from the wicked things you do Let me out baby let me see the sun again Let me feel the morning breeze soothe my tired brain Let me out baby can’t you see I’ve nothing left Let me go up to the surface and take one last breath Let me out baby please Oh won’t you let me out

Unattainable 04:07
I was cursing my bad luck as I walked down the lengthy lane, Which comforted my conscience and my mind, Alone as I lamented the bad choices I had made, I had not an idea what I’d find, But stood there in the distance a silhouette of solitude, A shadow in the sinking summer sun, I felt the curiosity lead me down the path, Within seconds I knew something had begun Why do we always want what’s unattainable? And why do we always need What isn’t gainable? She hadn’t moved an inch since I had cast my eyes on her, But still she didn’t notice I was near, With every step I took she seemed to move further away, Her beauty like the rain was crystal clear, A strong magnetic force seemed to pull my weary feet, Our two opposite symbols drawing close, I knew that I was negative and her sign was a plus, I knew that it was me whom she had chose, Why do we always want what’s unattainable? And why do we always need What isn’t gainable? I was cursing my bad luck as I walked down the lengthy lane, Which comforted my conscience and my mind,

I want you to know I want you to know Just what you did to me I want you to know You left me stranded, oh so stranded On this lonely road You stole my trust It’s torturous Locate your heart baby Now that’s a must You took my loving, all my loving And turned it to dust How do you morph into your alter ego Like Jekyll goes to Hyde Without a warning without letting me know Or giving me a sign I guess this day has been coming, inevitably I thought that you would be different, but obviously I was wrong baby You left me to bleed All those memories That I once believed Would keep me company Always baby for eternity But with one night of destruction Baby girl you took them from me Why did you do it babe? You hurt me so bad You knocked me down baby You made me feel sad And I don’t know why baby What we had Why i want it back Alright yeah

Danger 03:15
Well she's the perfect picture, she's well aware of that She grabs a hold of fiction and she turns it into fact Money is not her reason, she's not into breaking hearts She'll grab your indecision and she'll rip it into half She's never on her own She always sets the tone She's the girl who's seen the world but never had a home She makes a fool of time It's always on her side She's the girl who breaks the law but never done no time Don't ask her any questions, she'll never kiss and tell Never becomes dependent on anybody else She's followed by the gazes, of everybody's eyes Constantly in the limelight but she never even tries She's never on her own She always sets the tone She's the girl who's seen the world but never had a home She makes a fool of time It's always on her side She's the girl who breaks the law but never done no time

Hurt You 03:04
Although I know I’ve made mistakes That haunt me everyday Just know I never meant to hurt you And I can see it on your face You long for yesterday But know I never will desert you So i guess it’s time To say goodbye But I know I’ll see you again You are my only friend Just know I never meant to hurt you Let’s take our minds away from here Somewhere that we see clear And crack a smile just like we used to ‘Cause after all that’s been and gone The road that I’ve been on Just leads me right back here toward you So i guess it’s time To say goodbye But I know I’ll see you again You are my only friend Just know I never meant to hurt you

Sometimes you have to bite your tongue And take the bullets out of your gun Sometimes retreat makes the most sense When you are sitting on the fence It seems statistics rule the world And opinions of teenaged girls But if you wanna make it here It won’t take blood or sweat or tears And everyone’s made up their minds Before the singer’s sung their lines But please don’t let it get you down One day it will come back around Oh and if somebody told you To take a plunge off a bridge well I bet you would Oh and it just goes to show Nothing will ever be quite good enough The so called experts write reviews On what the kids are calling cool But somewhere something has been lost Between Oxford and office blocks But have they ever wrote a song About the place that they came from? Let me make one thing crystal clear They tell us what we want to hear And everyone’s made up their minds Before the singer’s sung their lines But please don’t let it get you down One day it will come back around Oh and if somebody told you To take a plunge off a bridge well I bet you would Oh and it just goes to show Nothing will ever be quite good enough
