I don’t know that much about you But I gotta believe We’re all going up in a lift that is stuck going To a sky we can’t see, yes a sky we can’t see And as I walk through this dark hour To check if it’s true I need to explain, why I feel so lame Cos there’s a change in you, yes there’s a change in you This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on Thinking it can take what it can’t replace Oh this world just can’t go on Oh this world just can’t go on And as the days rush on past us I’m fixed by your eyes But I can’t understand, why you wouldn’t take my hand You’re the Queen of hearts in disguise Behind those beautiful eyes This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on Thinking it can take what it can’t replace Oh this world just can’t go on Oh this world just can’t go on Half as much as I’m needing Is twice as much as you gave I need to feel now, that somewhere somehow That I can still be saved, yes I can still be saved This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on Thinking it can take what it can’t replace Oh this world just can’t go on Oh this world just can’t go on

Open it Up 03:32
We took the journey, you packed for days We mapped an outline, in different ways We sang together, I couldn’t sing You made us stop for coffee Though we were late, I thought nothing You said, open it up Come on, open it up Come on, open it up to the world I caught your smiling, my story spun I’d leaked the punch line out, as I had just begun We didn’t notice, the miles as they passed by The rain had started falling Break lights front, I heard you sign You said, open it up Come on, open it up Come on, open it up to the world Don’t even speak about it, wrap and bind the strands Till everyone is taught a way Black out all the windows, bury, secrets in a chest The painted smiles are patented, Chances to forget…. It shatters slowly, the cracks they stick It shatters somewhere close, there’s no trick Illusions opened up, so keep walking on And now we reach the crossroads All the signs have been torn down But nobody lasts, we don’t want anything And nobody sees, the last is everything Open it up, just once to the world.

As the moon looked on, to a final song And the grief, lay somewhere between She would cock her head, every word that I said As I slipped, between the dead sheets Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds And the truth, is not where it seems I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king And to kneel at their feet in my dreams All I meant to say,on an iced boneless day fell away from my lips as I drank I was holding you, as I fell to her tune I exposed myself to the chance Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds And the truth, is not where it seems I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king And to kneel at their feet in my dreams There’s a bar somewhere, (hosts / holds ) an empty chair As a reverent memory of me And they toast my name, when they feel ashamed For the tabs of the night are wiped clean Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds And the truth, is not where it seems I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king And to kneel at their feet in my dreams

Hope 05:21
Hope is just the start, pull a thread it could fall apart Subtle edge to the kiss, so faint, it touched the heart Feel it slip away, one less touch, one less chance to say As the light from the torch, grows dim and starts to fade So alone in this room Fading picture of you Re-assured I was through All the moments we choose Nothing in your eyes, gave up clues to this slight disguise Softened edges to words, I fear you couldn’t hide Future thoughts they blur, memory past, only now occurs To the statement of us, right now, and only here So alone in this room Fading picture of you Re-assured I was through All the moments we choose But the music played on To a jaded ‘our song’ Labelled me as so dumb What’s the meaning of strong? Driving in the night, you’re asleep, but still by my side Where we’re heading unfolds, each turn, each lonely mile Something still inside, not quite broken, it chose to hide Maybe seas will awake, the chance, for hope to fly Never gave up the fight, Set a fire in the night Shaking anger inside As I watched the love die Yet the best is to come As a mighty crowd sung Hands outstretched to the one We are touched by the sun

Know Me 03:39
Been around, you say how much? Could it be there’s something left to touch You don’t know me, like you. Think you know me. Someone else, to give away A secret glance to upturn all I say You don’t want to, like you, think you want to Smile into the lens and don’t be shy Call up all your friends, who can’t decide Something never felt or almost tried Catch the moment now, before it dies Laugh a lot to hide the fact Really didn’t matter now she’s back You don’t know me, like you, think you know me A change in stance, you’ve been away Half a chance, I’ll take this game you play But you don’t want to, like you, think you want to Buy yourself a drink and toast my smile Hold the hate you think, as your new style Something never felt, or almost tried Catch the moment now, before it dies One by one, they tear me down Piece by piece, you still can’t work it out You don’t own me, like you, think you own me Run around the world to say goodbye Post the journey far and post it wide Something we once felt, we had to hide Catch the moment now, before it dies

Right Now 03:26
Hoping for a way,locked from thoughts, far from today Looking up to the stars, cos right now I’ve got you Right now I’ve got you Thinking back to a time, way before you ever were mine Anyone but me, cos right now Ive got you Yes right now I’ve got you Birds are singing and I know it’s true I don’t know what I will do Cos right now I’ve want you Things won’t always be good, don’t keep hiding away with the rough Looking up to the stars Cos right now I’ve got you Yes right now I’ve got you It’s day that we have, yesterday just a day that has past Looking backwards never Right now I want you Know that you will too Birds are singing, I know it’s true, But I don’t know what I will do Cos right now I want you Yes right now I want you (Solo) Time will tumble by past, hold my hand its a chance we can last Nothing no one can part Cos right now I want you No one else will do Birds are singing I know it’s true, But I don’t know what I will do Cos right now I love you I want to always too Cos right now I hold you
