Wake

Four, five seconds you’ll get everybody glowing
Catch you by the toe so you can’t leave without me knowing
If you cry, so will I
Together we’ll be flowing
Wanna take you out, we’ll get every mouth running
Gonna take you out, we’ll get every line humming
Four, five seconds you’ll get every eyeball peeping now
Catch ‘em by the skin, you’ll get everybody leaping out
If you die, so will I
You know that I can’t live without
Wanna get you close, wanna feel your hand on mine
Wanna get you close, wanna feel you with me all the time
Take me to heaven on a roller coaster
Pull me from the freezer and put me in the toaster
If you die, so will I
You know that you’re my most-a
If you die, please don’t die
I gotta get you closer
Me, I have no reason
And I fall to everything you need
Build a future together
And it’s pretty as a picture
This is not an illusion
Not a family on the TV
I assume the position
If you colour me with what you see
Can I see
Tired of peeking
I wake
Tired of sleeping
I break
Just like the rest
‘Cos I feel
What I feel
Four, five seconds you’ll get everybody glowing
Catch you by the toe so you can’t leave without me knowing
Eenie, meenie, mine
Can I catch you this time?
Wanna take you out, mix the sugar with the lime
Wanna take you out, ‘cos you hit me like a chime
Me, I have no reason
And I fall to everything you need
Build a future together
And it’s pretty as a picture
This is not an illusion
Not a family on the TV
I assume the position
If you colour me with what you see
Can I see
Tired of peeking
I wake
Tired of sleeping
I break
Just like the rest
‘Cos I feel
What I feel
‘Cos I feel
What I feel

Love To Love
04:23
|

Well if I love like the break of day
Then I can only fade away
And if I hang on the words you say
Then I can‘t know what I am made of
And if I love like a simple song
Then I can’t hope to last for long
But if I float like a melody
Then you might put your arm around me
And I feel
Like I lost it back then
And I feel
Like I would love to love again
And if you’re finding it all too much
Well you can catch the next train home
And if your face is all in a scrunch
Then let me find the right emoji
And I feel
Like I lost it back then
And I feel
Like I would love to love again
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run with gut feel
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run ‘til it’s real
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run it, run it, run it, run it
Run it, run it, run it, run it,
Run it, run it, run it, run it
Well if I love like the break of day
Then I can only fade away
And if I hang on the words you say
Then I can’t know what I am made of
And I feel
Like I lost it back then
And I feel
Like I would love to love again
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run with gut feel
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run ‘til it’s real
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run it from the inside
To the outside
Run it, run it, run it, run it
Run it, run it, run it, run it,
Run it, run it, run it, run it

Stay

I said that I don’t wanna play
I said no, not today
I said that I wanna stay
I said that I wanna stay
Are you feeling ok?
Yeah, I’m feeling ok
Just not today
Today I’m gonna stay
I said that I don’t wanna play
I said no, not today
I said that I wanna stay
I said that I wanna stay
Are you feeling ok?
Yeah, I’m feeling ok
There is a smile on your lips if you let it
There is a ticking on your clock don’t you forget it
A ball of fire in the sky
And it is going way down
Yeah, so are we
And every wave that’s crashing in just gets you wetter
You just keep driving in reverse, you know that better
Hey alligator, see you later
But, if you’re down friend
Then so are we
I said that I don’t wanna play
I said no, not today
I said that I wanna stay
I said that I wanna stay
Are you feeling ok?
Yeah, I’m feeling ok
There is a smile on your lips if you let it
There is a ticking on your clock don’t you forget it
A ball of fire in the sky
And it is going way down
Yeah, so are we
There is an arm around your shoulders, you can bet it
Something beating in your chest, you better check it out
Hey alligator, see you later
But, if you’re down friend
Then so are we
I said that I don’t wanna play
I said no, not today
I said that I wanna stay
Today I’m gonna stay

Get Out!
05:12
|
|||
I shouldn’t break so easy
I shouldn’t smile so please-y
I shouldn’t lift up my skin
So you can crawl under again
Hey you,
Get out!
Hey you,
Get out!
I shouldn’t fight so feeble
Oh, why do I fight at all?
Hey you,
Get out!
Hey you,
Get out!
It’s still brave to be only a little bit scared
There’s no shame when you’re caught in a shadowy web
But insane when it’s all just in your head
Can you come back from there?
I shouldn’t fall so easy
I shouldn’t fall
But I do
Hey you,
Get out!
Hey you,
Get out!
It’s still brave to be only a little bit scared
There’s no shame when you’re caught in a shadowy web
But insane when it’s all just in your head
Can you come back from there?
Na, na, na, na, nah
It’s still brave to be only a little bit scared
There’s no shame when you’re caught in a shadowy web
But insane when it’s all just in your head
Just in your head
It’s a shame that I’m only a little bit dead
It’s a game that I play with the words you said
But insane that I’m all just in my head
Just in my head
Can you come back from there?

Kind Of World
02:32
|

I don’t think I did anything wrong
Remind me if we’re ever going home
Creeper’s gonna creep if you do stone
The room will keep you safe, but for how long
Think about it!
Is that a spider crawling up your arm
Fling your collared shirt to the ground
Do you remember if you saw that too
The darkness ain’t a witness with a tongue
Looking at it!
On the chase like Tom and Jerry
Puffed like Peter, Paul and Mary
Blow a kiss to your Big Scary
This is special, this has meaning
Promise that it is significant
Do not slumber, you’re not dreaming
You’ll be telling grandkids all of it
On the chase like Tom and Jerry
Blow a kiss to your Big Scary
This is my kind of world
It’s alright in the flow
Say goodbye to yourself
Feel it down to your toes
The food you ate is sitting in your throat
Didn’t you say that you had to go
Oh yeah, but that was hours ago
I forget, why worry, should I though
News reporters repeating their lines
The hand hasn’t changed but has the time
To look you turn your head to the side
And it keeps spinning all the way around
Bring it back, bring it back!
This is my kind of world
It’s alright in the flow
Say goodbye to yourself
Feel it down to your toes
On the chase like Tom and Jerry
Puffed like Peter, Paul and Mary
Blow a kiss to your Big Scary
On the chase like Tom and Jerry
Puffed like Peter, Paul and Mary
Blow a kiss to your Big Scary

Bursting At The Seams
04:14

One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
I’m all done with hello, goodbye
I guess my heart is primed
To fall in love with the next in line
Who’s the lucky guy
I spy
Read my eyes from afar
Stand close
Meet me at the bar
Closer
You got me seeing stars
Can touch
Skin on skin’s a spark
What’s it gonna be?
Will you be something to me
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
I spy
Read my eyes from afar
Stand close
Meet me at the bar
Closer
You got me seeing stars
Can touch
Skin on skin’s a spark
A little having fun
A little one on one
And when tomorrow comes
I’ll be waiting by the phone
Bursting at the seams
Cold sweat
All het up ‘bout you now
Colour like a fever
When I hear that message sound
A stranger for my life
I’m all done with hello, goodbye
I guess my heart is primed
To fall in love with the next in line
Who’s the lucky guy
I spy
Read my eyes from afar
Stand close
Meet me at the bar
Closer
You got me seeing stars
Can touch
Skin on skin’s a spark
What’s it gonna be?
Will you be something to me
Bursting at the seams
Cold sweat
All het up ‘bout you now
Colour like a fever
When I hear that message sound
Is it better when you’re dreaming
Of a person in your life
Is it better when you meet them
Than when you give up a part
Is that defeat or compromise?
All I want is to feel
All I want is to feel
All I want is to feel loved
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
I said one glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side
One glance, ignite
I gotta get by your side

One In A Million
02:40
|
|||
I know that you’re one in a million
A mirror being to be all my being
Taller, wiser, safer at driving
Won’t fit me better under their wing
Together tied by years and a bedroom
A pantry shelf and matching linen
And if we only met just now I do wonder
Whether the spark that bled would be there to sing
I know that you’re one in a million
A mirror being to be all my being
Richer or more into recycling
Won’t fit me better under their wing
