SHOOTING STAR
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from one to ten and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, youre finally free
And you can stay up there, right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then its time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
Cause its time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world thatll try to bring you down
But not this time
A thousand heartbeats beat in time
And makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
GOLD
Stand on up and take a bow
Theres something there and its showing
Theres no need to look around
Youre the best we got going
DEMENTIA
Every light in the night flickered in and out
Every bone in my back shivered up and down
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
Cause this is driving me crazy
Every voice in my head shouted yes and no
Every freight train of thought fought to stop and go
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
Cause this is driving me crazy
Big surprise, Im a ghost keeping out of sight
Rub your eyes, youre a star in the summer night
This is love, this is war, its insanity
Dementia, youre driving me crazy
Every tear in my eyes dripped and wouldnt drop
Every disc in my spine shook and couldnt stop
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
Cause this is driving me crazy
Every hand let me go that I tried to hold
Every warmhearted love left me freezing cold
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
Cause this is driving me crazy
SPEED OF LOVE
I tried to disappear
But youre the only reason Im floating here
Eyes painted crystal clear
I can see our future through the atmosphere
Dont you go, no dont you go
Dont you know, Im up here alone
Yeah I am like a satellite
Sending you a signal tonight
Oh oh oh, like a streak of light
Oh oh oh, watch the world fly by
Oh oh oh, rev your engine up
Everybodys racing at the speed of love
You were so hard to find
With oh so many clouds across my summer sky
You, my constellation prize
Yeah every single star is sparkling in your eyes
So dont you go, no dont you go
Cause dont you know, Im up here alone
So high, like a satellite
Im sending you a signal tonight
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live
GOOD TIME
Woke up on the right side of the bed
Whats up with this Prince song inside my head
Hands up if youre down to get down tonight
Cause its always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didnt care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
Im in if youre down to get down tonight
Cause its always a good time
Good morning and goodnight
Ill wake up at twilight
Its gonna be alright
We dont even have to try
Its always a good time
Woah oh oh oh
Woah its always a good time
Woah oh oh oh
We dont even have to try
Its always a good time
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Lets hang out if youre down to get down tonight
Cause its always a good time
SILHOUETTE
Im tired of waking up in tears
Cause I cant put to bed these phobias and fears
Im new to this grief I cant explain
But Im no stranger to the heartache and the pain
The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die
Im a silhouette
Asking every now and then
Is it over yet?
Will I ever feel again?
Im a silhouette
Chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on
The more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
Im sick of the past I cant erase
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I cant retrace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
No matter where I go
EMBERS
There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive
There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes
There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me
alive
But the world took a spark like a match in the dark
And the fire brought me to life
So Im fanning the flames to climb so high
Cause theres no other way we can stay alive
Cause were burning bright as we all unite
And when its all said and done, well shine like the sun
So dont let the fire die
And well watch the sky as it fills with light
And though the embers are new, whatever you do
Just dont let the fire die
And you find theyll be mornings when the ashes and embers are
cold
But youll fight with a passion and youll never stop cause you know
Yeah you know, it gets better and your story is yet to be told
Every push, every shove, every war, every love
Yeah, the coals are beginning to glow
Im a silhouette
Asking every now and then
Is it over yet?
Will I ever smile again?
Im a silhouette
Chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on
The more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
METROPOLIS
Oh oh, I cant even take it in
Oh oh, I cant even take it in
Oh oh, I left my heart in Metropolis
So far apart, I checked but the coast was clear
I feel like a postcard, I wish you were here
Subway through the dark
Carriage through the park
Taxi down the street
Get out and use my feet
Dont matter much to me
What it is that I do
As long as Im coming home to you
Oh oh oh, as far as I can see
Youre the only one, the only one who can get to me
Like a hijacked plane
Or a runaway train
Or a speeding bullet
