Everything 03:17
Everything Sweet grey of the morning I find you next to me Got me lost in your temptation And a tangle of sheets Cause when I looked into those eyes... Every piece of me All the air I breathe I'll give you everything you need All the space and time Anything to make you mine I'll give you everything you need I'm not that kind of girl But you sneak past my walls Got your love song stuck in my head Now I'm waiting for your call Cause when I looked into those eyes... Every piece of me All the air I breathe I'll give you everything you need All the space and time Anything to make you mine I'll give you everything you need Hey, it's me. I had a lot of fun with you last night. I don't normally do this, but um...I wanted to see what you were up to on Friday night. Maybe we could do something? I think we have something kind cool. Cause when I looked into those eyes... Every piece of me All the air I breathe I'll give you everything you need All the space and time Anything to make you mine I'll give you everything you need

Shine 03:41
Shine Dancing down the street with the sun on my face The man on the corner's asking me for change I said, “Hey man! I got none, but I got some time Would it be ok if I hung out for a while?” He said, “Thank you for smiling, thanks for stopping by It's been a while since someone looked me in the eye” What if we could change the world one look at a time? Give a look, give a laugh, and give a smile and let it.. Shine In the light of day We all need each other in the simplest ways Let it shine With a smile on your face We all need each other in this human race The streetcar's coming there's a crowd in the road Baby's crying in the stroller, Mama's alone An old man says, “Can I give you a hand? I may not look strong but humour this old man” She said, “Thank you, Sir! I'm at the end of my rope. I really need some humour, I could use some hope.” What if we could change the world one hand at a time? Give a look, give a laugh, and give a smile and let it... Shine In the light of day We all need each other in the simplest ways Let it shine With a smile on your face We all need each other in this human race Let it shine In the light of day We all need each other in the simplest ways Let it shine With a smile on your face We all need each other in this human race Let it shine We all need to let it shine Shine In the light of day We all need each other in the simplest ways Let it shine With a smile on your face We all need each other in this human race Let it shine In the light of day We all need each other in the simplest ways Let it shine With a smile on your face We all need each other in this human race

Stay 04:33
Stay Ok, I believe it There's something in the air Ready for nothing, but I feel it Maybe I want you to stay By now, Saturn has come and gone And Mama says to face the truth Shades of grey on Sunday afternoons Maybe I want you to stay Won't you stay? Won't you stay? Crosswords in the paper and half-written songs Maybe we could get along We cook breakfast in the afternoons It's morning somewhere else Do you take sugar in your coffee, too? Maybe I want you to stay Won't you stay? Won't you stay? Crosswords in the paper and half-written songs Maybe we could get along Days drift into weeks Months drift into years Don't leave me hanging here As words drift into hearts Drift into bodies and into souls Don't leave me hanging here Won't you stay? Won't you stay? Crosswords in the paper and half-written songs Maybe we could get along Cause baby we get along

Hold On 03:54
Hold On Isn't it funny how we tell ourselves Stories to keep us safe Isn't it funny how we believe the words we tell each other A promise to keep the faith I believe in you You believe in me We believe in us I believe it, I believe it Keep holding on Sing your song When the nights are long Keep holding on Isn't it funny how we sing along Even when we get it wrong Isn't it funny how we laugh our way through melodies All the sudden we belong I believe in you You believe in me We believe in us I believe it, I believe it Keep holding on Sing your song When the nights are long Keep holding on When the storm is rolling in And the raindrops hit your skin Even through your darkest days I believe in you We believe in us I believe it, I believe it Keep holding on Sing your song When the nights are long Keep holding on Hold on

The Light 04:44
The Light Bittersweet is the taste in my mouth Overload on cigarettes and sleepless nights I ain't got one wish to see me through I rely on you Sunday morning and you're barely speaking You can't see but my heart is breaking Can you feel love through the sounds you're making I rely on you The light in your eyes So many goodbyes The light in your eyes Your flawless disguise Sun is shining, I've lived on cloud nine But I can't tell you how I spend my time 'Cause there's no listening without peace of mind I rely on you The light in your eyes So many goodbyes The light in your eyes Your flawless disguise Colour coded love that drifts away Should I be happy just to hear your voice Thought I was worth more to you than this But I guess I just can't cut through the noise On the night bus, haven't slept in days It don't matter 'cause I've seen your face Take my hand and let's get out of this place I rely on you The light in your eyes So many goodbyes The light in your eyes Your flawless disguise

Too Much To Take The sun streams through your window Peers into a headache Your eyes are blinking open But they’re not seeing straight It’s 9:37 and you’re barely awake It’s another day calling into work ‘Cause you’re running late It’s too much to take It’s too much to believe in at once It’s too much to take But I know we’re gunna make it ok Another call, a text message From the man from last night You’d rather just be by yourself But it’s too hard to fight He gives you what you ask for Who cares if it’s right? Looks like you’re losing friends faster than you’re losing sight The boss is on your ass again You’ve barely time to see your children He doesn’t understand The powder is your only friend It’s too much to take It’s too much to believe in at once It’s too much to take But I know we’re gunna set the record straight The sun comes through your window It’s a lovely day Sleeping in your own bed After 3 weeks away 6:35 and you’re already awake The coffee's brewed, the paper's read And you’re on your way They were steps you had to take It was finally time to believe in yourself There was way too much at stake But I knew that you could make it someday Yes, I knew that you could make it ok

Shotgun 03:25
Shotgun Early morning piling in the car Girls in the back got me laughing so hard Ready to roll, got the radio on Singing la la la Got my rose-tinted spectacles on Colouring my destination Open the windows, let my hair down Singing la la la I'm calling shotgun Like a bandit on the run My soul is the road, I'm giving up control Going far, far from home Hitting 140 in my old sedan These back roads don't care much for plans The girls are screaming “catch us if you can!” Singing la la la I'm calling shotgun Like a bandit on the run My soul is the road, I'm giving up control Going far, far from home Chasing our dreams Bursting at the seems Hey, Adventure! This is our scene Ahhh... I'm calling shotgun Like a bandit on the run My soul is the road, I'm giving up control Going far, far from home

Eyes Closed 05:12
Eyes Closed This is the last time in this old house Time to find a ticket outta here Dead of summer makes my blood run cold Keep your mouth shut honey maybe it'll make it disappear I close my eyes to you Pretend that I'm not see-through Close my eyes to you Pray I'll get through Wash my hands but they won't come clean Talk myself into believing you still love me It's hard to hear when you're already screaming I can tell by your eyes you've stopped listening I close my eyes to you Pretend that I'm not see-through Close my eyes to you Pray I'll get through So many hands, so many days So many nights I lie awake So many thoughts, my heart it breaks So many hands, so many ways So many nights I lie awake So many thoughts, so many demons And I've stopped sleeping I close my eyes to you Pretend that I'm not see-through Close my eyes to you Pray I'll get through

Gimme Somethin' Never been so intoxicated Never been so high I remember when this used to hurt And I'd lie Never felt so in the moment Never felt so right I remember when this used to hurt My pride But it's alright Story of my life Gimme somethin' to work with Gimme somethin' to love Gimme somethin' to work with I'd be happy with all of the above Never seen so clearly Never seemed so bright I remember when it stripped me out From the inside But it's ok now Story of my life Gimme somethin' to work with Gimme somethin' to love Gimme somethin' to work with I'd be happy with all of the above Gimme somethin' to work with Gimme somethin' to love Gimme somethin' to work with I'd be happy with all of the above

Breathe 03:20
Breathe As he's floating down the bannister Smokey wings up to the sky Dissipating through the atmosphere As I say goodbye Change is on the wind Free to breathe it in Feel it underneath the skin Breathe it in Footsteps echo up the alley walls Running upwards to the night And ricocheting through my memories As I say goodbye Change is on the wind Free to breathe it in Feel it underneath the skin Breathe it in Change is on the wind Free to breathe it in Feel it underneath the skin Breathe it in
