Sunny Day 03:40
01 / SUNNY DAY A sunny day and you’re trapped inside Comparing life to a virtual high We could lay in your bed all day Ignore reality, “let’s run away” You may be wandering the streets of Prague Pounding pavement ‘til you find your God The search to matter and of who to be Choices made inside a lucid dream Oh How we right the wrong, we find what was gone But don’t you want more Turn of phrase, it changes life Is this love Oh, I want more So we roll the dice, we go back and forth Don’t you want more Magic in the here and now Is this love Oh, I want more Oh How we right the wrong, we find what was gone But don’t you want more Turn of phrase, it changes life This is love Oh, I want more So we roll the dice, we go back and forth Don’t you want more Magic in the here and now This is love Oh, I want more Oh Distant memory or déjà vu Parts of me knew they belonged to you
2.
02 / NOTHING HAPPENS I’ve been going all out Like I’ve got something to prove I work so damn hard It makes no difference to you An epic failure I am Or maybe I can’t judge How success even looks I always lose in love I need something amazing But I’d take even something good I’ve got so many days in, praying for change and Nothing happens, nothing happens Nothing does So name your price and I’ll pay The cost to be enough I’m so tired of this game Just let me have this one I need something amazing But I’d take even something good I’ve got so many days in, praying for change and Nothing happens, nothing happens Nothing does When it’s hard to hope ‘Cause it hurts just as often as it heals In one day everything can change Turning the page I need something amazing But I’d take even something good I’ve got so many days in, praying for change and Nothing happens, nothing happens
3.
03 / STARS AND STREETLIGHTS Moon rising, a blanket sky We lean in to the night We are fearless, fully alive We give in, we risk the flight We’ve been searching stars and streetlights We’ve been wanting signs of new life And we have begun A little bit is enough for now A leap of faith when we don’t know how I am watching you see to the heart of me Hope is rising, we’re on bended knee We’ve been searching stars and streetlights We’ve been wanting signs of new life And we have begun The smile upon your face You know it kills me, you know it fills me The wounds we can’t erase They make us who are, every single scar The lines we can’t retrace You know they brought us here, somehow we made it here We’ve been searching stars and streetlights We’ve been wanting signs of new life And we have begun
4.
04 / BETTER (WITH YOU) Sometimes this world can feel so cruel Like it’s a wonder that we get through Our shoulders heavy, we get weighed down And hearts are broken but make no sound But all it takes is just one and then we start to believe I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better Our souls are longing, they yearn for more And we reach back for what we knew before In the domino risks of life, you have helped me believe I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better With you We’re standing on the edge of something new But are we ready to leap Wherever you go, I’ll be next to you So when you’re ready, I am ready too I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better I think I’m better, baby, I am better With you

You Belong 05:48
05 / YOU BELONG I think of the things I want to say A thread of subconscious sewn through my day Thoughts that would have mattered to you Piling up, no audience to tell them to I will be waiting for you to see One day you will realize You belong with me Complicated reads to you like protection You spread yourself so thin so you make no investments We go around in circles but you’ll find me right at the start Your fear has masked me with the face of another Just one of a hundred ways to break my heart I will be waiting for you to see One day you will realize You belong with me You belong with me Bit by bit these walls are built up One by one I will take them down (I will take them all down) Word after word, a poet of disguise Provision still to find you, help will come in time Provision still to find you, hope will come in time Provision still to find you, love will in time I am not she, that is not me I will be waiting for you to see One day you will realize You belong
6.
06 / TO BE LOVED BY YOU Three small words have hollowed me All of my life, I will follow thee Like a shadow spreading from my feet So will I carry you along with me I just want to be loved by you I just want something that feels true I’m still pleading for you Yeah, I just want to be loved by you And as night falls I will dream of you And when morning comes I will pretend it’s true The weight of your arms, your body curved round mine Oh, the sound of your voice.. you are holy wine I just want to be loved by you I just want something that feels true I’m still bleeding for you Yeah, I just want to be loved by you
7.
07 / COLLATERAL DAMAGE Expectation is just resentment under construction Slice through all ties and welcome all the destruction Forget about knowing everything ‘Cause you don’t know anything Anything at all Existential but reality’s hard to manage So you view me like sidebar collateral damage No excuses for giving everything to get what you want You’ll do anything to get what you want Anything at all It’s rote philosophy, truth will set you free That’s just the excuse you’ll use for leaving me We can’t unlearn what’s known But you let it go,I tried to let it go And in the end we are alone Sacrifice reason, deny truth for the ease of lies Turn off familiar, turn on compulsion to be admired Forget that you’ve been given everything If it’s new you’ll take anything Anything at all It’s rote philosophy, truth will set you free That’s just the excuse you’ll use for leaving me We can’t unlearn what’s known But you let it go,I tried to let it go And in the end we are alone Can I still blame you When I have enabled you too Oh can I still blame you When I still love you too When I still love you too
8.
08 / GET WHAT YOU WANT One step at a time, you start Each single moment plays a part Beginnings are fragile things But every close has an opening Set aside all that you can’t know Find the joy because it is unknown Let the questions unfold and go You could get what you want You have to live it all A strike of the match, a flame Remember the reason, your aim Your eyes can adjust in the dark You will find light, protect the spark Set aside all that you can’t know Find the joy because it is unknown Let the questions unfold and go You could get what you want You have to let it burn You could get what you want You have to live it all When it’s right are you willing to sacrifice When the obstacle becomes to the fight Will you fight, are you willing to sacrifice Then go You could get what you want You have to let it burn You could get what you want You have to live it all
9.
Happy To Be 03:20
09 / HAPPY TO BE It was there, on your porch January ice The night you looked at me and said “I love you” You moved close, you held me A little bit too long For a friend and I knew that I loved you Oh, it is sweet The way life unfurls Happy to be there The world standing still To possibilities All the wrongs in life made right Because you love me Le monde immobile Tant de possibilités Les douleurs passées effacées Parce que tu m’aimes Ah, quel plaisir De voir comment la vie se déroule Le plaisir d’être là Oh, it is sweet The way life unfurls Happy to be here

Kings Cross 07:06
10 / KINGS CROSS I am standing on the tracks I can see the train is coming I cannot estimate how fast But there’s no doubt that it is moving No way to tell how near No choice, I wait right here I’m gonna lose someone I love There is no way for me to change this It is a blessing and a curse The cost of freedom from suffering Life swings the two-edged sword The train will come, we board We are praying for a sunrise No brokenness or pain left to survive And beauty’s all that’s left to thrive Oh, let it come I would give up all my days For you I’d trade everything I’d shelter you with my heart So that you could live completely I’d barter life for love I wish that it was enough We are praying for a sunrise No brokenness or pain left to survive And beauty’s all that’s left to thrive Oh, let it come
