Free Love 02:55
The midnight sky holds me down as it ties me to the ground, All the wonders that it shows as it paints a subtle crown, In your unventured fortune in your undying truth, In your vast emptiness in your fountain of youth, You didn't teach me sorrow and you never taught me woe, But you gave me strength and you showed me how to grow, You picked your colours wisely and you let it to be known, That anything we start, we must begin alone, So you paint the sky in front of me, And you showed me how to fly, All you need is give the word and I'll fly high, Let all your problems go let all the people see, That the thing above it all, is love and to be free

Heavy are the bags under my eyes, For staring at your face I can't lie I can't believe I that I got you, I can't believe I that I got you, With a four leaf clover I wouldn't win, So I gotta believe in what's within, You took my breadth and now I'm head over heels, Oh I can't believe that you are real, Don't ever change just change me, Good God I'm feeling sintering strange, I can win you over with just one kiss, I can be blunt but I won't miss, We can dance oh we can dance, We'll sing our song whilst in a trance, Don't ever change just change me, Good God I'm feeling sintering strange, You can burn my bridges tear them down, I'll build a boat or swim and drown, 'Cause I chase the light the light in your eyes, I'll be the knight to your surprise, You can take my car and drive it far, Steal the strings off my guitar, but make one promise to me, Don't Ever Change

Every time you look at me I freeze inside, Every time you touch my soul I touch the sky, Every time we laugh it feels so right, Every time we walk alone we start to fly, That's why I always say: That no matter who we are we are us, No matter where we are we have enough, So go on my friend, We'll dance on through the night, Go on my friend, We'll dance until we die, We're blind dancing in my head, We're blind dancing no matter what was said, Every time you catch my gaze I lose my breadth, Every time you look away I die a death, Every time we sing the songs and shout in the street, We come alive I feel complete, So go on my friend, We'll dance on through the night, Go on my friend, We'll dance until we die, We're blind dancing in my head, We're blind dancing no matter what was said, You took a pen you took a page and drew your own blossom tree, Cause no one else can see what you see, You're a leaf on a lonely lake, No one to stop you from carving your own way, So go on my friend, We'll dance on through the night, Go on my friend, We'll dance until we die, We're blind dancing in my head, We're blind dancing no matter what was said,

She stands out in a crowd, She doesn't ask for much, She does her father proud, But she doesn't see as such, As dusk turns to dawn, Fear turns to fright, As light comes to pass, Nothing's wrong but nothing's right, Standing here through wedding bells, Feeling whole but just a shell of a wonderer, Forever lost but never found, Keep my feet upon the ground of the free, She only stands alone, She'll never take my hand, She says I'll never know, That I'll never understand, Scratching off the day, Counting down the time, Everybody pays, Not a penny but a dime, Standing here through wedding bells, Feeling whole but just a shell of a wonderer, Forever lost but never found, Keep my feet upon the ground of the free, She walks without a smile, She's looking at the read, I feel like I'm on trial, Is this pain or am I dead, They say that time heals all, But is there any left? Stand up to move on, Brave the pain across your chest, Standing here through wedding bells, Feeling whole but just a shell of a wonderer, Forever lost but never found, Keep my feet upon the ground of the free,

All is Away 03:43
You say you can't cope, You say you will drown, But you can't start looking up, When you're looking down, You're nothing but luck, You're feeling this high, Well up up goes your life, But now it's a lie, You're future is bright, Don't let it go by, You can't keep watching the sun, it'll damage your eyes, All is away now, So don't let it break down, You can run, you can run, you can hide, But you can never die now, Oh yeah all is away, And don't get it feel good, If you try and I'll try, then someday maybe it could, I'm tired of this mess, I've been worked to the bone, But if you smile, and I smile, Then someday I'll call you my home
