These days I seem to wonder why it’s hard to recognize your smile every time it shines from my ceiling Every now and then I try not to feel so much uptight but then you tell me you have missed your way home I’ll be waiting for you Oh I’ll be waiting for you this time I’ll be waiting for you this time Cannot see what might have been changing doors just makes me spin I’ve been living like I shouldn’t - knock me down This time I won’t fake it Now just don’t hold me I think I will have to break this I’ll be waiting for you Oh I’ll be waiting for you this time I’ll be waiting for you this time Nobody makes those best mistakes anymore

Lucky star just please come back to me since you’re gone I haven’t had much sleep my notebook’s empty and I see that I belong somewhere oddly I’m the one who dances on display You’re the one who just don’t know my name Everything’s screwed up in million ways so different it stays Once again I’m back on crowded streets endless pavements fulfill all my needs and every time I think about it anyway there is one thing I want to say I’m the one who dances on display You’re the one who just don’t know my name Everything’s screwed up in million ways so different it stays You’re the one who messed up with my head I’m the one who’s promptly running scared Everything’s screwed up in million ways I’m the one who dances on display You’re the one who just don’t know my name Everything’s screwed up in million ways so different it stays

Pick Me Up 02:52
I can’t believe that they left me at the sidewalk of the parallel seems like everything’s fading out when I hear a voice through that second door Pick me up from the floor Try to make this happen Lift me up from the ground I can’t believe that they left me, spaces are empty what a lovely way to go Can’t you see what they’ve done to me, now I have to walk this world all alone Pick me up from the floor Try to make this happen Lift me up from the ground I haven’t slept a week, trying to make this work… I would like to believe but it happens too often to be true Pick me up from the floor Try to make things happen Lift me up from the ground I haven’t spelled your name why do you think I care? Pick me up from the floor Try to make this happen

Alive 02:39
He’s been waiting to be alive for so long and then you tell him it’s not right He’s been waiting to be alive for so long and then you tell him it’s not right But anyhow it’s kinda dazzled you shouldn’t look no other way and what I feel like, my heart becomes a stone He’s been waiting to be alive for so long and then you tell him it’s not right He’s been waiting to be alive for so long and then you tell him it’s not right He’s gotta get himself together and he overplayed this part before but what I feel like, I’m afraid he loses all He’s been waiting to be alive He’s been waiting to be alive He’s been waiting to be alive this time now

Sometimes it’s hard to let it go guess I think too much of the dreams that I have Sometimes it’s easier to let it show and will the buzzer kill this hideous light My mind’s made up, don’t you wanna know? I feel just like I have to know how many years, how many roads should I take And I’m so ready for the blow got my feet down, it’s so easy to hope My mind’s made up, if you wanna know? I never wanted this it just makes me sad I think I am winning again I never had to behave in this certain way I think I am running away I think I am... Sometimes it’s hard to let it go And all the places I have visited a long long time ago It’s like it happened all before the deal is fair - I will win again My mind’s made up, don’t you wanna know? I never wanted this it just makes me sad I think I am winning again I never had to behave in this certain way I think I am running away I think I am… And If you can see what is wrong, don’t cry for me to change

This World 02:34
I’m not the first generation and I’m not the last that’s gonna ask this stupid question coming from the past so please stop explaining me what we have to choose after all it’s only one life that we are bound to lose This world has got to end, this world has got to end This world has got to end, this world has got to end This world has got to end, this world has got to end This world has got to end, this world has got to end This sun has got to set, this sun has got to set This sun has got to set, this sun has got to set This world has got to end, this world has got to end This sun has got to set, this sun has got to set

Beatlesque 03:16
Look at all the people going in and out that door they just need what they’ve been waiting for Listen to the sound of silence slowly breaking out have you heard anyone sing or shout? Oh-oh, Oh no Tell me what’s the kind of boy that you would like to know is he dull or does he need to show Smell the wind of spring time blowing softly on our skin we should just go and get out of here Touch the sky as if it’s raining, don’t come home too soon night will last until next afternoon Oh-oh, Oh no And it all becomes a trap And it all becomes a trap And it all becomes a play to have the time of your life

Golddigger 05:42
Oh that night, that night the moon struck light to my vision I felt my inner peace as I was freed from my mission Seems to me she had to have it all all those lies don’t wanna mention lucky I was seeing clear was it a divine intervention? Ever so grateful, ever so kind she’s been a gold digger all of her life Well, no she don’t care as long as it is safe to feel fake All of my preaches, and all that it reaches you can just throw it away Ever so grateful, ever so kind she’s been a gold digger all of her life After all, she’s still in love with herself Ever so grateful, ever so kind she’s been a gold digger all of her life

You were the only one to wake me You were the only one to make me the only one to break me You were the only one to forsake me Sell my reasons back to me! You were the only one to take it You were the only one to shake it the only one to fake it You were the only one to ache it Sell my reasons back to me!

I woke up in my bed only to find everything is gone They’ve been building brick by brick and shaded my only sun I searched for memories only to find towers I don’t know getting lost in every street I can’t find my way back home What are they living for, if they don’t respect their past What are we living for, if we don’t respect our past Why always try to be a visionary Why always try to make things grow I cannot always be a missionary Sometimes I have to let it go It’s a thing of making their own place in history Hopefully it’s dumb enough for anyone to see What are they living for, if they don’t respect their past What are we living for, if we don’t respect our past Why always try to be a visionary Why always try to make things grow I cannot always be a missionary Sometimes I have to let it go
