1.
I've never seen your face before and I Never wanted to I never asked your opinion and I Know it's nothing to do with you But there you go Sticking your nose in Where it has no place to be If you get by being like that Then I'll get by being me I'd rather be with my friends in hell Than stuck in heaven with people like you We're all saints and sinners here Whether you believe it's true My business is my own and you should Get this in your head One billion starving people in this world But all you care about's With whom I share my bed Saints and sinners Saints and sinners Saints and sinners Saints and sinners
2.
Anxiety 04:26
What does it mean? Why did they say that? How come it hurts? Is it some kind of payback? It's a mistake of brain-chemistry Debilitating anxiety
3.
Some say it's written in the stars Life's journey, this voyage of ours Sometimes I get the feeling When things leave me reeling But I can't swallow that bitter pill I need to believe in free will Tell me I'm wrong or tell me I'm right But I need to believe I'm in control of my life Say it isn't so, say it's just an illusion Tell me everything is not a foregone conclusion Fatalist epistemology Causes damage to your psyche Try as you might, do what you can But you can't defy the plan But I can't swallow that bitter pill (bitter pill) I need to believe in free will (free will)
4.
We had potential Ten out of ten We had so much going for us But that was then The years are starting to run by So damned fast I want to catch up and to try Not living in the past Things became rocky I'm not sure when I had so much invested But that was then A rollercoaster of emotions Taking its toll All I wanted to do was to get off And take control But if time heals like they Say it does I'll be all right in the end And I'll fall in love
5.
This is now 03:48
Whatcha sitting there for? Why aren't you doing your best? If he's one in a billion You've gotta be better than the rest The rest are coming for him It's as though he's a star Just 'cause he follows you on Instagram Doesn't mean he knows who you are This is now This is now This is now This is now You should make your move This is now This is now This is now This is now You should make your move You don't have time to waste So there's nothing to prove This is now This is now This is now This is now You should make your move You've gotta put yourself out there And then he can choose Give it all, you know you can You've got nothing to lose Scope out the competition Make yourself so appealing And when you get what you want you'll be Dancing on the ceiling
6.
Sunrise 03:50
I feel the crash of the rain But I'm here inside with you And with so much we can gain The life ahead we will go through The thunderous sound in my ears Proves that shedding of the tears This is worth every single one Every single one Every single one A vortex in the unknown A great schism in our heart But we roar against the darkness We shall never be apart And we struggle on and on Until we reach that sunrise We struggle on and on and on Till we reach the sunrise An impish smile makes me feel strong I shield you from internal strife I'm bid to flee, an action wrong But I'll stand here, and will for life
7.
Cold war 04:01
I've been here before It's a cold war I don't want it any more It isn't impressive You're so passive-aggressive I don't want it any more Take a long, hard look in the mirror Are you proud of what you see? There's no love any more Between you and me It's a constant silent battle And I'm so sick and tired Of the devastation wrought Without a shot being fired It's a cold war It's a cold war It's a cold war It's a cold war
8.
Who's that boy I saw you with last night? I just want to know I don't wanna cause a fight You seemed so happy Such a smile across your face Tell me who's that boy? Have I been replaced? Who's that boy? Tell me he's just a friend Lately you've been so distant Could this be the end? We used to be so happy And it's gone without a trace Tell me, who's that boy? Have I been replaced? I want to believe It's innocent I want to believe you One hundred percent But it all stacks up The evidence Just tell me we're over For all intents Who's that boy? I won't stand in your way How far's it gone? How old is he anyway? Who's that boy? I thought you should know No one will ever love you Enough to let you go And I let you go And I let you go
9.
Go-go boy 03:13
He's a go-go boy (go-go boy) He doesn't want your love He's a party boy (go-go boy) He never has enough Tight skin, beautiful smile He's the reason you've been here for a while He's got the body, he's got the moves He knows how to get you in the mood And when that song comes on You're the only one in the room A flash of eye-contact Lap it up, feed and consume And so, the story goes on You wouldn't recognise him with his clothes on And then your dream came true When he smiled straight at you And then that song came on You were the only one in the room A flash of eye-contact Lap it up, feed and consume
10.
You think you're alone Don't be afraid You think you're running out of time But plans are laid You've learned from your mistakes So take my advice: Don't repeat the situation Lightning never strikes twice Lightning never strikes In the same place twice Lightning never strikes In the same place twice Lightning never strikes In the same place twice Lightning never strikes In the same place twice Come into the sun Burn off the sadness Just take my hand And join the madness
11.
Oh, I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you And to make matters worse I've been grumpy and terse But I love you Oh, don't worry I've got a lot on my mind But I know without you I'm half a person, it's true And I love you Oh, I'm sorry For all the pain that I've brought But you're always so kind When I'm out of mind And I love you Oh, don't worry I'll be back on form soon Once things settle down Your patience knows no bounds And I love you Oh, I'm sorry I know I say that too much But the meaning is clear When you hold me near And I love you Oh, don't worry We'll take things day-by-day 'cause it's just me and you We will see this all through And I love you
12.
You can sit there asking why But let me make it clear Everybody has to die So why are we living in fear An inevitability We shouldn't live in our nightmares You've got to get out and live your life Never mind the thoughts and prayers (I'll pray for you) Don't bother (I'll save you) Don't bother (I'll pray for you) Don't bother (I'll save you) Don't bother You can watch it all unfold Right there on your TV Wait until that news is old And abandoned predictably We get showered with talking heads Like merchants selling their wares The response to anything Is to send your thoughts and prayers You've gotta live your life As if no one cares You've gotta grabe life by the horns Don't waste time with thoughts and prayers
