Get Up
03:37

|
When I sit here and just think about you, I picture you out there with your friends while I sit here doin’ nothing. I can't help but just wonder if this is all my life has in it to offer me.
I wanna scream, yeah I wanna say to myself that I should…
Get up, get up, get up and do something I believe in, do something that I've been dreamin’ about all my life.
Wake up, wake up, wake up and do something I believe in, do something that I've been dreamin’ about all this time, all this time.
As I stand here I've passed another crossroad. I wonder where I'm headed if this is my life, where is it gonna go. I've always tried to pick what's reliable, I've never experienced what else is out there.
I wanna scream, I wanna say to myself that I should…
Get up, get up, get up and do something I believe in, do something that I've been dreamin’ about all my life.
Wake up, wake up, wake up and do something I believe in, do something that I've been dreamin’ about all this time, all this time.
Now here we are and this is where I stand, trying to discover what I want to be and when.
Get up, get up, get up and do something you believe in, do something that you've been dreamin’ about your whole life. Wake up, wake up, wake up and do something you believe in, do something that you’ve been dreamin’ about all this time, all this time.

Pretend

First time I laid eyes on you, you were sitting at that bar. You were on your first drink, your friends had gone a little too far. And I'll picture you as I pretend you walk my way. And I'll dream of you as you take my breath away.
It can't hurt to imagine. It can't hurt to pretend, for the moment.
And so you'll listen to that story your friend's told a million times over and over. And I'll stare at you from afar but you won't notice me, no you won't notice.
It can't hurt to imagine. It can't hurt to pretend, for the moment. I'll, I'll picture everything's gonna be alright at least for tonight.
It can't hurt to imagine. It can't hurt to pretend, for the moment.

My Place
03:35

Come around to my place, you can find me there. Let's do what we wanna do, no reason no cares. Could you hit the lights? I like the dark. It's a hard act to follow, just be who you are.
You drive me crazy, send me mad, mind overloaded with no demands.
Don't overthink it, that'd be your death. Live each moment, each breath one less. Feel our hearts beat out of time. Don't know how this started babe, I'm not yours, you're not mine.
You drive me crazy, send me mad, mind overloaded with no demands.
You drive me crazy, send me mad, mind overloaded with no demands.
Tell me I'm dreaming, feel our pulses out of time (tell me I’m dreamin’).
Well, I've got no feeling, got no rhythm on my mind (tell me I’m dreamin’).
We'll dance in the summer and fall over in the rain (tell me I’m dreamin’).
Tell me I'm dreaming that I'm not going insane.
You drive me crazy, send me mad, mind overloaded with no demands.
You drive me crazy, send me mad, mind overloaded with no demands.
So come around to my place.
Oh, come around to my place.
Come around to my place.

No Plan
03:02
|

|
Take away those bad dreams and let me sleep peacefully. I'm not sure how life's meant to be but I'll take it easy, yeah I have no plan.
And I don't know which way I've got to, got to go. Yeah, I don't know which way I've got to go.
"I'll get lost, I'll get out of here, I never want to see this town again" is what I said to you. But one day I'll show up on your doorstep, walk right in and claim I'm coming home again.
And I don't know which way I've got to, got to go. Yeah, I don't know which way I've got to go.
And I don't know which way I've got to go. Yeah I, I don't know which way I'm going to go.

Mind's Eye

My mind's eye, oh it drives me wild. It tells me lies, dreaming like a child caught in the headlights. You're reading my last rites. A write off, you've been telling me to lay off, I will disagree. Say I'm pathetic but you must give me credit.
My mind's eye, the world passes by. I could show you if you try (my mind’s eye).
And the news today filtered for you, so you're right (my mind’s eye).
The world's a sweeter place and I'm brand new. In my mind's lie. My mind's eye.
I got you, I know your truth and all you do. Pictures of your youth being so shameless, oh thoughtless and blameless. In my head, full of wishful hopes and pure dread as I learn the ropes. Do I look desperate, but are you impressed yet?
My mind's eye, the world passes by. I could show you if you try (my mind’s eye).
And the news today filtered for you, so you're right (my mind’s eye).

Fine.

Been wakin’ up on the wrong side of bed for a while, thought I'd try a different style. Sift through wardrobe scenes, pretend I'm a fashion queen, smiles bursting at the seams. Been lost on my way to go to the kitchen for food, my phone's distracting in every mood, scrolling photos and memes of a life that's not mine.
I'm just passin time and it feels fine. Just wasting time and feelin’ fine.
Start work from home wearing trackies and ugg boots, no need for heels or fancy suits. Click mute on the call and yawn through it all, they may as well just talk to the wall. Quick chats with the lads dreaming of better days and a place that leaves us…
Feelin’ fine and passin’ time. Just wastin’ time and feelin’ fine.
Kick back at the end of the day with the food that I like and a diet that has gone on strike. Binge-watch T.V. shows and invest in them all for a time, can't you see that I'm in my prime? I'm posting photos and memes of a life that's not mine.
I'm just passin’ time and it feels fine. Just wasting time and feelin’ fine.
Been wakin’ up on the wrong side of bed for a while. Been wakin’ up on the wrong side of bed for a while.

Cloud 9
03:54
|

|
The humble man is a mystery, in a life burdened with envy. Hasty assumptions in your eyes, neglect the weird and the wise.
Concern for judgement the world holds, protect our names like some fool's gold. Filled with questions we're confused - why some will win and the others lose.
We're all seeking a life that's divine, and we're all pleading to leave the guilt and fear behind. Well, let me wake on cloud 9.
No longer he waits sincerely. Well, loyalty is thicker than blood. Where betrayal is presumed, our hearts are padded before the wound.
We're all seeking a life that's divine, and we're all pleading to leave the guilt and fear behind. Well, let me wake on cloud 9.

Traveller

I met you at an Irish church. You told me that you liked my name. I toured with you, you showed me all the things I would've seen but explained them in so many other ways.
I'm just a traveller, the roads I roam they must reach an end. No way of connection, I didn't know you long enough to be forever friends, oh no. I'm a traveller.
Hit the road, head held high. There's a mountain of reasons why I left them all behind. Drum roll for the last strike. It's not the place that I dislike but no one else will take the hike.
I'm just a traveller. The roads I roam, they must reach an end. No way of connection, I didn't know you long enough to be forever friends, oh no. I'm a traveller.
I'm just a traveller. The roads I roam, they must reach an end. No way of connection, I didn't know you long enough to be forever friends, oh no.
Well, I saw you at an Irish church, you smiled as I walked your way.

Darling

So what's her story? Well, she's headed home. She's done with their judgement and lies you know - they're not keeping her up tonight, oh no.
They're quick to say it, that she's not right. For all of these years, she has played along, thoughts and ideas that just don't belong.
Whoa darling, whoa darling.
And everybody seems to know what she should want and where she stands, holding her shackles in their hands.
And now she's leaving, she's hit the road. She circles her thoughts forevermore, and tell me what is she waiting for?
Whoa darling, whoa darling.
Whoa darling, whoa darling.
Whoa darling, whoa darling.
Everything is going to be alright.

Lovesick
03:38

I remember walking to your house and knocking on your front door. I stood there so eagerly to see your smile then I'd fall into your arms and nothing else mattered but you and me. And I, I'm holding on.
And I felt so lovesick when you were gone. I would just cherish those moments when you came home. Now I just long for those moments that we had alone. I felt so lovesick once you were gone.
I remember a time when we couldn't think up anything else to do so we went out into your backyard. You taught me how to use a bow and arrow. You hit those targets so right and true. I looked at you, felt like I had so much to lose. And I, I'm holding on.
I felt so lovesick when you were gone. I would just cherish those moments when you came home. Now I just long for those moments that we had alone. I felt so lovesick once you were gone.
Lovesick once you were gone, well I used to cherish those moments when you came home. Now I realise that I've got to and I am moving on. And I once felt so lovesick because you were gone.
