Not A Love Song
The scene is dead by morning
Slipping past the great divide
It chases over bridges
Spins me out of my own mind

Hollow is how you like it
What you see is what you get
Say you love it again
But you never do

I am not singing a love,
singing a love song
Cause love is a game to you now
Watch just to see how long
I want to fall away and
waste another day
Cause love is a game to you now
Watch just to see how long

I see I disappoint you
Why don’t you find another threat?
This isn’t what you thought now
If you fall, won’t you tell me in my ear?
You’re here to waste their time dear
But you can’t waste mine
Say you love me again
But you never do

But if you can’t save the love anyway,
you’ll love again
Cause love is a game to you now watch just to see how long
I want to fall away and
waste another day
Cause love is a game to you now
Watch just to see how long

Explode
I wanna explode
Watch me, I’m a lucky girl
See I, I like you
So won’t you pay if you wanna go down

I love to watch you, honey
You need me so lets see
What do you care, if you want to
You should pay if you wanna go

Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away love
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away love

I wanna touch you, slowly
I’m a lonely girl
Come on you want to
So won’t you pay
if you want to go

I’d love to hurt you, easy
I’ve got you, inside me
What do you care, if you want to
You should pay
if you wanna go

Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away love
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away love

Why don’t you pay
if you wanna go
You got to pay if
you want some more

Wait Another Day
I look at the starlight,
I am shattered by the night
Always run where I can and
I hide where I wanna hide
But it feels so right,
I want it tonight,
It feels so right

I went out of my mind
I am caught here
one more time
I know how it feels tonight
I can do nothing about it
But it feels so right, I want it tonight
You feel so right

I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I’d leave
all this behind
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
another dream on you
Always run to you

I will take the long road
But it leads right back to you
Follow you into the sun
I will steal this time for you

But it feels so right
I want it tonight
You feel so right

I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I’d leave
all this behind
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
another dream on you
Always run to you

Common Reaction
Hey love, your face is full of lies
Be careful what you ask
Be cautious how you act
You’re tired, tired of the dark
Oh you’re covered in dust, yeah
You’re covered in dust

How can you fall from a
wound like that dear?
Don’t mind, it’s a common reaction
And you tell me everything is alright,
you don’t mind
How can you feel when
you’re wounded like that dear?
Don’t mind, it’s a common reaction
And you tell me everything is alright
And you don’t mind
Waste my time

(You don’t feel right, don’t feel right)
(You get higher, and you don’t mind)
(You don’t feel right, but don’t feel right)
(You get tired, but you don’t mind)

Do you realise, you’re caught
in the middle with your alibi
You’ve been living in a dream
and you think will I likely fall?
Oh still you lie, based on the fact
that you will always hide
Oh you’re covered in dust,
you’re covered in dust

(You don’t feel right, don’t feel right)
(You get higher, and you don’t mind)
(You don’t feel right, but don’t feel right)
(You get tired, but you don’t mind)

I don’t like quiet in the rain with you
I don’t like quiet, you wait for fire against the wall
I don’t like quiet in the rain with you
I don’t like quiet, you wait for fire against the wall

(You don’t feel right, don’t feel right)
(You get higher, and you don’t mind)
(You don’t feel right, but don’t feel right)
(You get tired, but you don’t mind)

Say So
You say that you’re broken
I just want to fix you
Tell me what to do,

Days that go unwritten
All the things you’re missing
Tell me what to do and
maybe I can fix it

Say so, you want to
Say so, you want to
Hollar, you want to
Happy as one

(Hollar if you want to, come on just)
(Say what you want to,
you’re always disappearing)
(Hollar if you want to, come on just)
(Say what you want to,
you’re always disappearing)

Still I believe you
I just wanna save you
Tell me what to do,

Run run if you want to
And you’ll find what you’re after
Tell me what to do,
I’ll find all the answers

Say so, you want to
Say so, you want to
Hollar, you want to
Happy as one

(Hollar if you want to, come on just)
(Say what you want to,
you’re always disappearing)
(Hollar if you want to, come on just)
(Say what you want to,
you’re always disappearing)

Don’t know how long
I’ve wasted my time
I only want to lie with you here
I never thought that you’d be so blind
Stay if you want and we’ll disappear

Say so, you want to
Say so, you want to
Hollar, you want to
Happy as one

(Hollar if you want to, come on just)
(Say what you want to,
you’re always disappearing)
(Hollar if you want to, come on just)

Covered
Would I fall under that spell again
I don’t think so anymore
But I don’t know what’s written
I’ll be there anyway
Call it love I guess, hotter than the sun
You can appreciate that

Oh say hey what you know
I don’t know how to let it go
Say hey what you know
Wish you knew what I was thinking
Hey watch me now
I know how to level you, hey
What you gonna say? What you gonna say?

Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Higher than the stars
You’re covered in my hands tonight
Hollar now you want it
Gonna see, see how do you love again?
Covered by the dark, no light
You’re covered in my hands tonight

See all the things that surround you are full of love
Brighter than the stars,
So why all those cold dark hours?

Oh say hey what you know
I don’t know how to let it go
Hold on to what you’re told
But I don’t know what you’ve been thinking
Hey what’d you know
Guess I don’t know anything,
won’t see you again my love
You say forever, can’t touch it
It’s harder than hell cause I want to

Everyone
Long lives the fear
we’ll be forgetten
It’s a sad sad world we’re in
to not believe something
And we’ll stop the world from falling
just to stay alive
And I say don’t ask me why
do I disbelieve, tell me

Everyone is telling us
something’s wrong with us
Everyone is saying
we’re lost somehow
I wanna know
Do you believe in something
Everyone seems to have lost themselves

I just need a sign
That we have found one voice
Cause it’s a mad mad world I see
to end up with nothing
So we fight for what is right
with no compromise
And I say please ask me why
I believe in living, tell me

Everyone is telling us
something’s wrong with us
Everyone is saying
we’re lost somehow
I wanna know
Do you believe in something
Everyone seems to have lost themselves

Away From Here
What if I could change the world
one day at a time?
I’d go back and stay
Too much is gone to even try
Shallow in depth,
so I can see everything clear
I would take it back again
I’d take it blind

You say, I don’t
But oh, would you come
and take me
Away
Away from here
You say, I won’t
But love, won’t you come
and take me
Away
Away from here

This is in reversal
Everyone is hurt here
Fell from you so high
Beat me like a drum
Now you finally have won
I’m wounded again

What if I could change your world
one day at a time?
I’d be waiting for someone
to change my mind
Change my mind

You stay, away
But oh, would you come
and take me
Away
Away from here
You stay, away
But love, won’t you come
and take me
Away
Away from here

What if I could change your world
one day at a time?

So Long
All I hear are your stupid lines
Save you from your sorrowed life
24 hours is not enough time
To make me feel alright
It’s not enough time
You know you wanna

You keep those lies inside your head
They’ll come out sooner or later
Don’t think that you’ve been so misled
You’ll keep them buried forever, hey
I know you wanna
Oh yeah
I know you wanna

You see it all comes down to a different feel
You see it all comes ‘round again
You see we lose ourselves
when there’s nothing real
So long, so long, so long, hey

You wanna push it all away
It sneaks up sooner or later
You like to look like you behave
Why don’t you stop pretending, hey
You know you wanna
Oh yeah
I know you wanna

You see it all comes down to a different feel
You see it all comes ‘round again
You see we lose ourselves
when there’s nothing real
So long, so long, so long, hey

Dance With Me
I love it how I walk away
I won’t feel at all
Don’t tell me what to say
There’s no need to tell
Don’t want to hear your intellect
Just don’t think at all
Cause all your words
are meaningless
Just don’t fall,
don’t fall for me

Oh, the past it’s getting me
There’s no end in sight
If I could just get rid of it
I will try, I will try
Don’t want to psychoanalyse
I’m just not the type
Cause all those words
are meaningless
I just won’t fall,
won’t fall for it

Lie down
Just give it up
Dance with me
Lights out
Falling away
Into me
Don’t stop
Just let it go
Come with me
Stay down
Cause you’re
Burning me up
Dance with me

Dreamer
You’ve seen the worst of me now
I’m all alone see
You lost me somehow
And what we’re fighting for is peace
Are you still in love with me,
Or someone else?

Well are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love

I’ve seen the worst of you too
I let it go see
Because I have to
And when I’m falling on my knees
You’ll take my hand in yours
What will be, we’ll be

Cause are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love

What’s the matter with our ways
I’m missing something,
not to blame
But don’t you worry,
this will pass
It’s only cause my mind’s
been spinning
No control,
I’ve lost my head
All of this is just beginning
Not enough,
it’s never enough
I’ll only want to keep on dreaming

Cause are you such a dreamer?
Put yourself in my shoes
Careful what you wish for love
