Crybaby 03:32
I've been waiting 'cuz you've been known to take your time I've been sitting by the phone, drinking all alone Tell myself the same old lines I've been better 'cuz there's better things than being a fool But I didn't realize It was right before my eyes But you never think it happens to you I always told you that you could ask me anything But I didn't have an answer to your question I should have shut my mouth, closed my eyes Told myself a pack of lies So cry, Crybaby, cry I was good to you And I thought that you were good to me But it didn't take long, good intentions gone Left alone in misery You always told me that I could tell you anything What's the point when nobody is listening? I should have shut my mouth, closed my eyes Told myself a pack of lies So cry, Crybaby, cry I always told you that you could ask me anything Now I finally have an answer to your question I should have shut my mouth, closed my eyes Told myself a pack of lies So cry, Crybaby, cry

Younger days 03:15
It’s been years since I came back to this place And touched the tree where once you carved out both our names With gardens overgrown This place was once our home Two blocks down where the “Tasty Freeze” used to be Is an empty lot that served up such sweet memories Summer Friday nights Were the best days of my life The wildflowers have grown Pushed through the rocks and stones Where we once walked along In our younger days In the schoolyard we first kissed and yearned for more My heart beat faster than It ever did before Whispered in my ear The words I longed to hear The wildflowers have grown Pushed through the rocks and stones Where we once walked along In our younger days By this rusty old swing And this broken down slide You kissed my cheek when I laughed And held my hand when I cried The wildflowers have grown Pushed through the rocks and stones Where we once walked along In our younger days

Sleepwalking 03:32
I don’t know what I’m doing here at 3 a.m. But if I press myself for answers I’d surely cry myself to sleep And pretend that I’m better Better than the wasted moments Crying for you endlessly But I know myself and I know tonight Won’t let me go that easily I’m..... Sleepwalking, Sleeptalking Every night it’s the same story Sleepwalking, Sleeptalking Chasing the dream of you and me I still can’t fall asleep on your side of the bed ‘Cuz your scent’s still on your pillow So I lie as close as I can dare Wearing your old sweater That you wore the night you held my hand And swore that you would never leave But you let it go and said goodbye All too easily I’m...... Sleepwalking (Where did you go?) Sleeptalking (What did you say?) Every night it’s the same story Sleepwalking (Does it seem real?) Sleeptalking (The way that you feel) Chasing the dream of you and me

Ain’t no way to make this easy No matter how we break it down What we both got what we needed baby Let’s finish what we started now Ain’t no use in sifting embers Ain’t no point in spilling tears We could not undo the damage Not if we lived a hundred years Cuz you and I are alike So let’s kiss goodnight... And just go our separate ways Now only scars remain And its too late to lay the blame So let’s go our separate ways We thought this was the land of milk and honey There are no more rainbows here The only way to close the darkness Is to open up the door from here 'Cuz you and I are alike So let’s kiss goodnight... And just go our separate ways We have lost our voice So that leaves us no choice But to go our separate ways

On the 25th day of every month at 12:05 in the morning Peter turns out the light and says goodnight Clutching the old wooden frame, “see what you’ve done my darling” “You were too good to lose, but what can I do?” Peter lives in Leicster, Wales but he wants to go back to Cyprus Where he and his love last went 12 years ago Peter volunteers down at the local hospice Where they helped his love through her final days, till she had to go…. He let her go…. And he said: Go, you’re safe, spread your wings and fly away Yeah fly, Up high and climb to where there is no pain Go, be free, I know that you’ll look after me And everywhere there’s beauty in the world, I’ll see your face Sundays Peter walks to town and listens to the Vicar And lights a single candle as he leaves He spends his afternoon with the sundrops in the garden Tends to them like precious memories, that never leave Never leave…. And he said Go, you’re safe, spread your wings and fly away Yeah fly, Up high and climb to where there is no pain Go, be free, I know that you’ll look after me And everywhere there’s beauty in the world, I’ll see your face The flowers and the trees Bluebells on the breeze The clouds up in the air Show me you’re still there…… Go, you’re safe, spread your wings and fly away Yeah fly, Up high and climb to where there is no pain Go, be free, I know that you’ll look after me And everywhere there’s beauty in the world, I’ll see your face

Follow the stars Follow your heart Follow your dream Right from the start No regrets No compromise Time for you to spread your wings and fly Hey, Hey, Hey Don’t give in Don’t ever change This is your chance Get out of the cage Sing out loud Dance in the street Yesterday is now just history Hey, Hey, Hey It’s a brand new day Hey, Hey, Hey Don’t hold back Don’t be afraid Positivity will never fade Bounce back up When you’re knocked down You know love can turn the world around Hey, Hey, Hey It’s a brand new day Hey, Hey, Hey You can’t stop growing older So start your life right now Hey, Hey, Hey It’s a brand new day Hey, Hey, Hey

She wants to hold him tight She wants him to stay the night They never had a chance from that 1st night that they danced She knows they’re miles apart She knows he’ll break her heart He’ll never realize the love that shines in her eyes Well am I tall enough Or thin enough Well it’s never enough to be that girl She wants a second chance For him to want romance She knows how this will end but she needs a lover not a friend Well am I rich enough Or pretty enough Well it’s never enough to be that girl Am I cool enough Or popular enough Yeah it’s so damn tough to be that girl

The yearning 06:04
You take your chances and you play the game And you put your hand in the fire From just one spark evolves a flame And it won’t take long to burn higher, higher You keep your head cool while your blood runs hot And try to control your desires Though you fight to decide if you stop it or not It’s like trying to use gas to douse fire, fire The brighter it burns The more you yearn And the yearning only gets stronger Like a moth to a flame It drives you insane And there’s no-one but yourself to blame You could turn and run or turn a page But the closeness leaves you defenseless So you close your eyes and you bare your soul As you lie on your back, breathless, breathless The brighter it burns The more you yearn And the yearning only gets stronger Like a moth to a flame It drives you insane And there’s no-one but yourself to blame

Sleepyhead 03:44
Wake up sleepy head Haven’t you heard? Wake up sleepy head Time to meet the world It’s waiting here for you, White and blue The sun is shining bright Shining just for you The sun is shining bright On a day brand new I can see it in your eyes, wide and blue And nobody loves you like I do And nobody loves you like I do Wake up sleepy head Rise and shine Wake up sleepy head Sweet child of mine When you smile just for me It makes the sun shine And nobody loves you like I do And nobody loves you like I do
10.
The time has come for you to fly Your teenage years are left behind And everything changes, everything changes with time I watched you grow and held your hand You cried and hoped I’d understand That everything changes, everything changes This time I know You’re old enough to make your own way Go, spread your wings and fly! This house feels cold and all alone The wide wild world is now your home Where everything changes, everything changes, everything changes With time.
