Come on dreamer, Come on dear You are all that i have Come on dreamer, Come on dear The night belongs to you So walk with me a while, out in to the night we’re doing this in style together burning bright You know you will regret for hiding for so long so gracefully accept you really do belong Come on dreamer, Come on dear You are all that i have Come on dreamer, Come on dear The night belongs to you So many little steps, The freedom that they bring, Your heart is beating faster As this means everything So step in to the dark The bravest man alive you’re following your heart you’re beautiful tonight Come on dreamer, Come on dear You are all that i have Come on dreamer, Come on dear The night belongs to you

Static 05:02
I fall apart again, its the same thing every time your lips are forming words but there is nothing in your eyes do you remember how it felt, to mean the things that you say to me I know, i know That we’ll never be here again still i hope, that i’m wrong but when we meet it feels like nothing has changed I tried to cut you out, but you stayed beneath my skin and with every passing day, you moved closer in, to my lungs but I’m breathing clear air, without you by my side anymore I know, i know That we’ll never be here again still i hope, that i’m wrong but when we meet it feels like nothing has changed when we meet it feels like nothing has changed I know, i know That we’ll never be here again still i hope, that i’m wrong but when we meet it feels like nothing has changed when we meet it feels like nothing has changed

Tides 07:05
You left, I should have followed, but I’m here, for six weeks alone I disappear, under the surface now we speak, across the water but the miles still come between us and the wires, they don’t bring you back home We drifted, a long way out and are miles above the deep can you hear, its calling out to me And I fall, beneath the waves and Ive tried, I’ve tried to escape but the tides, they just keep pulling me back You take the first breath But I am still free as under the surface they can’t get me You are an an island I’m lost at sea on the horizon you’re there for me you’re there for me

The Stranger 04:47
Remember when, we first met spinning closely, like satellites From the moment, that you left Forgotten paths, from some other life now You are all that I have in this town And you are all that i have Now you’ve gone, i’m waiting every night, with the silence although i tried, you’re fading please come home, and remind me Why You were all that I have in this town And you are all that i have, please come home please come home please come home please come home But where are you now my love? You are all that I have in this town so please come home

And I, Said i’dd never let you go You’re falling now, and i wanted you to know, That I’m falling with you Im falling with you At night, I am lying in your arms we’re all right, because you and I are stars We are two of a kind We are two of a kind and In the morning, as the bruises start to fade You are holding me, down and once again we are living the dream I don’t want to be free I don’t want to be free But you just be, and im not sure i understand You believe, and i give everything i have but it is just not enough i can’t help you my love Now we are talking, long in to the night I’m still hoping, that we will be alright As the day starts to break Is it already too late Is it already too late And I, Said i’dd never let you go You’re falling now, and i wanted you to know, That I’m falling with you Im falling with you And at night, I’m lying by your side are we all right, because its just you and I And a ceiling of stars Thats who we are In the morning, as the bruises start to show You are holding me, closer than you know you say you want to be free, but where does that leave me? And I, Said i’dd never let you go You’re falling now, and i wanted you to know, That I am falling with you Im falling with you

Lovely Noise 03:01

Sparks 06:03
It was the last day of summer And I travelled from this home i tried, i tried to find a way As another year passed by And the cold sets in the bones keep moving, keep moving and don’t look back Hold on keep breathing Your star, will rise Hold on, Keep dreaming Keep the sparks, keep the sparks alive Theres a thousand miles between us But i never felt so close hold on, hold on, we’ll make it through Tomorrow at the first light Begin the opening words A new chapter and this is now, the first line Hold on keep breathing Your star, will rise Hold on, Keep dreaming Keep the spark, keep the spark alive
8.
Time 04:04
Please let yourself grow come out from the darkness if you stay how will you know escape where your heart is All that you need is time to grow I’ll be with you to the end the morning is here soon keep blossoming my friend escape, let yourself bloom All that you need is time to grow again And its all that i have and you take it all
