It’s been a while since I called you
It’s hard to keep away, but Lord I’ve tried.
I need to tell you that I miss you
And I don’t wanna play around

I’m going crazy, I just can’t believe
You didn’t feel it we were meant to be
I swear to God that I can keep you happy
Baby please come back to me

*PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME LONELY BABY
PLEASE DON’T LET ME GO
PLEASE JUST WANT ME BABY
WITHOUT YOU I’M NOT WHOLE…

I’ve seen so much but I’m still learning
about the kind of love that we deserve
You mean the world to me I hope you knew
I’ve looked outside but there is no one but you

You’re moving on while I’m still crying here
With devils whispering inside my ears
I’m sorry that I haven’t been myself
But read on, don’t put me back on the shelf

*

I sing “I Will Survive”
Put on a great big smile
It’s so damn obvious
That I am in denial… denial…denial… so..

**

I’ve got the energy,
so let me take us home
I promise I’ll take it easy,
listen to the late-night radio

You could always name those tunes
take them from the tip of my tongue
and we would beg the sky to wake up
When we froze in the park til dawn

*but where, where are you now?
somewhere living lives we dreamed back then
it was all we could hope for
I, I was your everything
Like leaves in the wind, Floating free

We fought to fight together
But in the end our hands let go
I sense you never stopped watching
and i have never stopped believing
‘cos I know the child in you
Every crack, every flaw
and it’s like leaves in the wind , floating free

*

Floating, floating, I’m not looking down
dreaming of flying, ‘cos you taught me how
Waking, creating, this spirit in me
and I hope you’ll be proud of me
I hope you’ll be proud of me

*

Sorry, I bore my heart and soul to you
Yesterday when you called
2 hrs later the flood gates refuse to close.
It’s just so easy to talk to you,
How we used to be..
Where I could tell you how I feel
And feel you were loving me still

*After I hung up, I wondered round/through the streets
Feels like I was following my feet.

**At every crossroad, I followed
The place my feet would go
And soon I got very lost
But still I walked
Trying to clear my head
Of things I said, the way you listened
Like you wanna take away my pain
I’m sorry love but
I won’t let you make the same mistake again

I saw the photographs of your new love
Though you try to play it down
I sense you are happy
And so you deserve to be.

There’s a kindness in her eyes
And that’s all I need to see
I know you’ll be good to her,
As you were so good to me

 Seems like I’m losing perspective
Should be there but I’m sitting here
I’m blind and can’t find my glasses
So I’ll carry on playing until I get restless

Feels like I’m leaving my body
Eyes glazing over I’m phasing out
And then I hear a voice calling
But I don’t think it’s for me please tell her I’m out

*Need to take a look at my life
and I try not to regret
but it seems the older I get
It gets harder

Need to take a look at my life
and tell myself not to forget
All the hard hard lessons I learn
But it gets harder

Children grow while you’re blinking
They see and learn from the things you do
But now YOU make the decisions
and everyone’s watching so what can you do?

Hey time’s getting shorter
before you know it it’ll all be over
Do everything that you need to
Cos this is your life don’t care what people tell you

*

I’ve had such a good time today
But I don’t think I can stay
Gotta get my priorities straight now
So I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way

 I wasn’t built for the game. No, I’m not a contender.
Come join me, not sure where I’m going
You said you wanted adventure

So let’s learn together
I know that we’ll give eachother
the silence that we need
to hear whatever is out there
if only we listen

We were born to love
A life of service not just from our lips
we’ll work for love not money
We’ll work for love

They will think that we’re crazy
And i know i will hurt my family
perhaps the only thing I stand to regret
The rest is just experience

Mama know that I love you
And I’ll continue to pay it forward
This way, your unconditional love will shine immortal

So are you ready? say your ‘goodbyes’, let’s get going
Need to bring it past the point of just talking
Curse of materialism(lisation?), means our hopes our dreams
our thoughts our beliefs
never quite materialize

The doors infront of you appear unyielding, uninviting
Climb through the window, break down the wall
do what it takes to break free from it all
do what it takes to break yourself, and build it back from fluid bricks

So i start saving
I’d share every penny with you
When the day comes to walk our separate ways i say
“thank you for walking”

My dear friend, you’ve left an impression on me
the clothes you left shrunk and now they fit perfectly
I know you’re shit scared, and so am I
So beautiful to feel this alive.. isn’t it

Guanabara, down in Holborn

Flowing tequila, having so much fun.. having so much fun

Hey Boy! You burnt me bad,

Have you nothing to say?

What kind of guy hurts a girl like me

And walks away?

I thought that I’d be blinded by you

Lucky that I’m OK

You might think that you’re not to blame

But all I see are flames

You left a scar on my pretty skin,

Have you nothing to say?

I’m gonna make this song so well known

You can’t run away

‘Cos you’re white and small

Got light coloured hair- mousy and fair,

I think it’s fair to say

You ran away,

I fell to the floor, you went for the door

So I said

Oh Mr. Cigarette Man,

Won’t you take care when you dance?

And if we do meet again,

You better run while you can

Flinging arms like a maniac

I got my fans you better watch your back

Say sorry and I’ll shake your hand

So don’t be scared Mr. Cigarette Man

I’d just say

Oh Mr. Cigarette Man

Won’t you take care with your hands

But I forgive you at last

Just let me burnt you right back

It’s been a whole whole year now,
but the pain’s still as fresh
as nature’s morning dew on blades of grass
I need this rubberband to snap
but when i feel like you just follow me around
the tension turns slack

by not giving me the distance,
you’re draggin me back, back to square one
I was so naive back to think that we were in love

Your picture stares at me from the frame
the one we took in a small station booth.
It riddles me with guilt and pain
we were so innocent and happy back then

Why did things have to change?
Why did we have to rush into things?
I was so naive back then to think that we were in love

Do you remember all the things that you said?
Empty promises that fed my hunger.
Frustrated tears dampen the pillows of my bed
If you only knew the torture going on in my head….. Ohh…

Can you change the past?
Can you turn back time?
No! So please don’t rub the salt into an open wound
Go! Let me break free from these shackles on my feet
I beg of you…..
Let me break free…
So so naive, so naive..

Now that I’m gone please don’t cry for me

Think of the times when we were happy

I’ll always be here if you need me

And you know I’ll be there you know I’ll be there

I’ll never forget when we got soaking wet in the rainstorm

And dark clouds swallowed the sky

But for some reason why, we were laughing

*

You need to let go

You feel so guilty I know but it’s OK

And even though I’m not there

You know I’ll always be here in the next room

*

Wipe the tears from your eyes

I don’t’ want to see you cry

There’s no point living a life of regret

Now is the moment don’t let it go
