All I've Got 05:00
lyrics
The sunlight hits my face As I open the door in the morning And I have to squint my eyes It's a bit too bright It's a brand new day A chance to write a new page And I hope I get it right I hope I get it right I hope that I'll be strong enough I will not be giving up I'm gonna give it all I've got I hop into my car And head out on my way Turn off the radio So I can hear my own thoughts And I wonder how you are I wonder what you're doing today And I want to make things right I want to make things right I hope that I'll be strong enough But I will not be giving up I hope that I'll be wise enough Well, I will give you all of my love I'm gonna give it all I've got If you find that your mind is dwelling on the same things If you find that your mind is dwelling on the same things If you find that your mind is dwelling on the same things If you find that your mind is dwelling on, then I want you to know I don't care if you feel strong enough Just as long as you're not giving up I don't care if you feel wise enough Just as long as I've got all of your love Just give it all you've got

Start Over 03:16
lyrics
Would someone tell my heart don't even start I'm not in the mood Would someone tell my head give it a rest There are other things to do If you could take me back to then I could try again Just start over I'd forget the end And let it all begin With eyes made new Would someone hear me out, I've got to shout I cannot hold this in I've tried to stuff it down and watch it drown But I cannot pretend If you could take me back to then I could try again Just start over I'd forget the end And let it all begin With eyes made new If you could take me back to then I could try again Just start over I'd forget the end And let it all begin With eyes made new Would someone pull me close While I let go And let life start again

Elevator 03:11
lyrics
Elevator Leaving life behind on the first floor Elevating through endless skies Going to the top of the world To the top of the world I wish my life were revolving round the center of a dream I wish my eyes were always seeing what I’m seeing in my sleep Out of my head, out of my skin Flying through the atmosphere Going up, not coming down Gonna live my life in the starlight Elevator Leave it all behind Feel all my senses come to life No more heavy limitations Ordinary expectations Need to feel this freedom in my soul I wish my life was revolving round the center of a dream I wish my eyes were always seeing what I’m seeing in my sleep Out of my head, out of my skin Flying through the atmosphere Going up, not coming down Gonna live my life in the starlight Gravity, let go of me I wish my life was revolving round the center of a dream I wish my eyes were always seeing what I’m seeing in my sleep Out of my head, out of my skin Flying through the atmosphere Going up, not coming down Gonna live my life in the starlight Gravity, let go of me

The Way It Should Be 03:28
lyrics
verse 1: Well I know it’s been been awhile We’ve never had a way with words How long have we held this inside? You know, you know, you know you know that you were right But I know, I know, I know, there’s always two sides We know, we know, we know,  We’ve never seen something so good go so wrong Chorus: But when I finally sleep  You are there in my dreams And we’re okay  The way it should be  And we talk with ease And we laugh like we’re free And we’re okay The way it should be  Verse 2: Well I’ve been knocking on your door  Hoping you would come outside So we could finally end our silent war I know, I know, I know, I know that I was right But you know, you know, you know, there’s always two sides We know, we know, we know We’ve never seen something so good go so wrong Bridge No matter where you are No matter what you choose I’m not leaving

Just Wanna Meet You 03:37
lyrics
Verse 1: On a walk by myself It's not so bad, honestly But there's one thing that I think would make it better That's if I had someone with me Yes, I know December's coming And it will bring a brand new year And even then, will I be thinking Chorus: I hope you get here someday 'Cause baby, I'm tired of waiting And I wanna meet you soon I hope that you're on your way All the waiting gets me frustrated I just wanna meet you, just wanna meet you soon Verse 2: Well, all my friends are getting married And some are having baby number two And they wanna know when it will be my turn But all I can say is "maybe soon" Yes, I know December's coming And it will bring a brand new year And even then, even then Bridge: No, I'm not perfect There are some days I may let you down But I promise you this, promise you this That I will love you the best that I know how

Okay 03:45
lyrics
Hearts are pounding We’re all in shock Everybody’s listening But no one will talk It’s one of those days You never expect “Is it really happening?” Is the question in your head And you hope that you did everything you could And you swear swear if you could change anything you would Tears won’t heal A heart’s regret So what do you do with it- With the life that’s left? Count the memories Hold them tight Just keep breathing And you’ll make it through the night And you hope that you did everything you could And you swear if you could change anything you would I won’t say It’s gonna be okay But I feel your pain And I am standing with you

Mean It 03:16
lyrics
Verse 1: You swore that you smelled fire Decided to save yourself You didn't want my help So what else could I do Sometimes I see you know You say to me "all is well" But don't you know I can tell That's not true Chorus: I wish you'd just say what you're thinking now Don't take so long trying to figure it out I'm not afraid what's coming out of your mouth As long as you mean it, as long as you mean it Verse 2: It didn't take us long We fit together well And who'd have though I'd have felt Like I did I know that you said "Maybe we'll figure out who we are" But we've already come so far So why are you waiting, why are you waiting Bridge: The only thing I ask Is that you tell the truth Whether you're running from your past Or I'm not the one for you

Daydreaming 03:02
lyrics
I’ve been waiting a long time Wondering what it’d be like For you to be in my arms Once again I've traveled over the oceans They just gave me the notion I wanna look in your eyes Once again I'm daydreaming and it feels alright I’m daydreaming that you’re here by my side Hearing the same sounds, feeling the same sun But my only company is daydreaming I see so many faces Visit so many places But right now all I want Is home with you

More To This 03:49
lyrics
Verse 1 You thought that you had it all Yeah you stood up and you whole world waiting You felt like a king You climbed up on a golden throne And you sat there and you had the whole world watching Wondering what they’d You didn't know That even the greatest fall Chorus There’s more to this than standing in the spotlight There’s more to this than everyone knowing your name You can try to grab it all but it just slips through your hands But it’s alright, there’s more to this Verse 2 In time your kingdom broke Yeah you fell down and you had the whole world laughing You were crawling on your knees Your crown cracked and they took your robe And you woke up in the lowest low you’d ever seen And they just watched you bleed Oh now you know That even the greatest fall Chorus Bridge There’s more to this life So let your pride go There’s more to this life More than you have known Chorus

Robots 04:08
lyrics
Verse 1 They tell me to stay where it’s safe The danger’s too great in the unknown Because you don’t know If you would survive out there So don’t waste your time chasing pipe dreams It’s the wrong thing PreChorus But what they got doesn’t look so good to me They're like robots following their routines Saying just give in, be a part of the machine Chorus I want a beating heart Won’t let my hopes slip into the dark Don’t become a mechanical slave Wanna live my life before it’s too late I want a beating heart I’m no robot Verse 2 I hear the creak of the gears Smoke rises high In the distance But I’m resistant I can’t survive back there I come alive chasing my dreams Think that’s what I need PreChorus ‘Cause what they got doesn’t look so good to me They're like robots following their routine Saying just give in, be a part of the machine Bridge Time is worth too much to spend on living someone else’s life Every minute is a chance to choose our destiny Will we all embrace indifference when we know there’s more inside? We can either let it out or let it die
12.
God Only Knows 03:14
lyrics
God only knows you've been trying God only knows you've been striving God only knows all the times you've tried to get it right You stood up, then you feel back down You prayed no one would hear the sound That no one might discover you down here God only knows you've been trying God only knows you've been striving God only knows all the times you've tried to get it right There's no circumstance No not even death That can hold you back From my love So would you let me rest Make space inside your chest And you will breathe again And we'll start over We'll start over
