-- Lyrics -- First comes your fear Your laughter and tears Then you shout When you need a name for your doubt You know what’s happening When you feel free Something small Brings you back to your knees Reminds you of Secrets you keep Now that it’s happening Could it be like your visions of destiny? Golden sunset you saw On a silver screen? Was it all just a trick Played by chemistry? When there’s no other way out One voice you hear in a crowd Honey, now you Now you’re in love Who disappears And who do you want to be found You go where the music is loud Do you want a theory or thief? Do you dream on a night with no sleep? Could somebody make you believe That it was real? Could it be like your visions of destiny? Golden sunset you saw On a silver screen? Was it all just a trick Played by chemistry? When there’s no other way out One voice you hear in a crowd Honey, now you Now you’re in love Fight in electric confusion Laugh away all of your rules What would you do If you were in love? Are you in love? Are you? Oh what would you do If you were in love? First comes your fear Your laughter and tears Then you shout The music goes One, two, three When it happens Oh and somehow you knew If you let go of your ruse If you believe it You go back to childhood mystery Wearing it like your mother’s jewelry Sweetness on earth Did it still make a fool of me? When there’s no other way out One voice you hear in a crowd Oh honey, now you Now you’re in love Laugh away all of your rules, babe Dance all night long but Why can’t you tell the truth If you’re in love? When the music’s gone soon And there’s nothing you can do Do you ever know the truth? Are you in love when you’re in love? Are you in love When you’re in love?

-- Lyrics -- I’ve found so many ways to hide it from myself Been practicing this magic since I was a girl Violets in the snow All become electric roses I’ve seen it all, I hold no grudge, I hold no fault Illusionist, contortionist, I’ve played them all Violets in the snow When they want electric roses Now the nights go on and on The lights stay on, stay on Oh the nights go on and on The lights stay on, stay on, Stay on, stay on Stay on It feels so funny I think I’ve been here before The faces seem the same Not quite forever young Violets in the snow They wanted electric roses Practicing your pose They wanted electric roses Now the nights go on and on The lights stay on, stay on And the nights go on and on The lights stay on, stay on Oh, the nights go on and on The lights stay on, stay on Stay on, stay on Ooh, Do they stay young For love? Violets in the snow (When the nights go on and on) Want to be electric roses (Stay on, stay on, stay on) Violets in the snow (When the nights go on and on) They wanted electric roses (Stay on, stay on, stay on) Ooh

Your Girl 02:46
-- Lyrics -- Did you let down your girl All ‘cause you couldn’t face your heart again? Let your temperature rise and then Let your anger strike your love away? In a storm it follows her All the words it shouldn’t hurt to say Broken glass and broken hearts for days Broke a promise you should not have made When you let down your girl Yeah, you let down your girl Yeah, you let down your girl Now she’s never coming back again Every time I fall in love Clouds are gone But all the sky is grey Now nobody knows what kind of rain Haunts me now and haunted yesterday Well it’s been a long time Since you left behind a hurricane Broken glass and broken hearts for days Broke a promise you should not have made When you let down your girl Yeah, you let down your girl Just say you let down your girl And she’s never coming back again Many years gone by And the tears I cry over you Fall again Tell my fears that I Could be living lies to forget I won’t forget No I won’t I hear it on the wind Clouds are rolling in Now they’re over us again How could you let down your girl? Did you let down your girl? Well now she’s never coming back (Let down your girl) No you can’t bring her back again (Let down your girl) No you can’t bring her back again (Let down your girl) Oh no she’s never coming back (Let down your girl) No you can’t bring her back again (Let down your girl) Oh no she’s never coming back (Let down your girl)

Light Years 03:45
-- Lyrics -- Do you remember your dancing days Nights when you would stay out till dawn Starstruck and young When you thought that you could know What’s here and what is already gone When you’ve gone light years Light years from your hometown Light years from a road Going anywhere you know Someday when you’re light years Light years from your love Light years from someone Anyone that you know You will still belong No matter how far you’ve gone Moonlight calling Stardust falling off of your clothes Night’s getting colder Moonlight feeling Every night your dreams getting older Then you go light years Light years from your hometown Light years from a road Going anywhere you know Suddenly you’re light years How long were you falling? Light years shine you on You will still belong No matter how far you’ve gone No matter how far you’ve gone No matter how far you’ve gone No matter how far you’ve gone Suddenly you’re light years Light years from your hometown Light years from a road Going anywhere you know Someday when you’re light years How long were you falling? Light years shine you on And you will still belong No matter how far you’ve gone No matter how far you’ve gone No matter how long you lost track of time When you’re out of your mind In the loneliest night you still belong No matter how far you’ve gone

Homesick 02:42
-- Lyrics -- Every time Every time Every time I hear it I get homesick The empty trees Swinging in the breeze Someone’s whistling like they’re free Don’t I know that song? Ah, I thought I knew that song Take my heavy heart and drive me north What I’m looking for It has no name at all Take my heavy heart and drive me north We can talk about those days we spent abroad Every time Every time Every time I’m near it I get home sick from where I was Dead printed leaves blowing down my street Someone telling me I was lost And now I’m found Oh, I was not! Oh take my heavy heart and drive me north What I’m looking for It has no end at all Oh, take my heavy heart and drive me north We can talk about those memories we lost And if I cry Oh, I won’t remember why I get homesick It happens every time I get home sick Can you remember why?

-- Lyrics -- Last time that I saw you You were lighting up a show You got your own hall of mirrors, baby On and on they go Now it’s been so long since I have heard you Singing your own song You walk in a hall of mirrors laughing On and on and on You sing, "oh oh oh oh oh, baby” Baby, baby, baby Are you lost? Staring at your hands You wonder where your time has gone Walk in a chain of admirers Who don’t see you at all Now it’s been so long since I have heard you Singing your own song You walk in a hall of mirrors laughing And you don’t know who you are You sing “oh oh oh oh oh, baby” Baby, baby, baby Are you lost, Baby? Baby baby baby Are you lost? Who will you see if you look back? Are you lost? Who will you see if you turn back? When you sing “oh oh oh oh oh , baby” Baby, baby, baby Are you lost, Baby? Baby, baby, baby, Are you lost? Who will you see if you turn back? Who will you see if you turn back? Who will you see when you turn back?

No Control 03:58
-- Lyrics -- Breathe in, breathe out The future is a game for us Never plays out the way it was I believe it now But when a tide turns on me Turns against me and I fall Fall into the unknown Nowhere I have been before All I want is to go on I swear that I can make it gold I keep trying to hold on To my love with no control When I keep on falling You left me with no warning Now I’m still waiting for it Our love with no control No control, no control, no control And I don’t see why The price we have to pay for love Gets higher on the way back up When we’re living now But when a tide turns on me Turns against me and I fall Fall into the unknown Nowhere I have been before All I want is to hold on I swear that I can make it gold I keep trying to hold on To my love with no control And I keep on falling You left me with no warning And I’m still waiting for you A love with no control No control, no control, no control Now I don’t belong to you You left me with no warning Forget me when I’m falling Our love with no control, No control, no control No control, no control There’s no future where I’m falling (No control, no control) No control, no control Now I don’t know how to love with (No control, no control) No control, no control There’s no future where I’m falling (No control, no control) No control, no control, no control I keep on falling You left me with no warning And I’m still waiting for you A love with no control No control, no control, no control I don’t belong to you You left me with no warning Forget me when I’m falling My love with no control No control, no control, no control No control, no control No control, no control

Pale Blue 03:06
-- Lyrics -- The sound was wrong I’d heard it all before Everything he’s done He said it was for love Running from the rain Begging him to stay Running from the pale blue glow Pale blue glow Under the shade You try to hide a bruise In your eyes I recognize the hue Oh keep on running I believe in you Believe in you I saw you in the rain Irises in bloom Saw you in the pale blue Saw them in the night Light is shining through Stronger than the pale blue glow Running from the rain Indigo betrayed you Into the pale blue Saw them in the light Irises in bloom Stronger than the pale blue Will you wear your crown If the shade is true? Walk into the pale blue I believe in you Irises in bloom Walk into the pale blue glow Ooh, pale blue glow Ooh, pale blue glow Ooh, pale blue glow Ooh, ooh

-- Lyrics -- They say in time it fades Forget where you have been Why can’t I look away from the face I’ve seen I saw it on those days we spent in the park Saw you chasing dreams down the boulevard And I saw you’re already forgiven It takes so long to say it Already forgiven How long I’d let you stay I can’t escape my name Now I won’t even try When my body’s tired of drinking bitter wine When the cup it breaks in my hand each time When the cup it breaks in my hand each time Telling me you’re already forgiven Will take me years to say it Already forgiven How could I let you stay? I want to leave my mind and let my old ways fall They took shapes I could not have foreseen And in my hands this time I don’t know what I hold But I know you’re already forgiven Already forgiven I took up the pieces of what you made Tried to build a fire where there was no flame What I tried to fight in my heart in vain What I tried to fight in my heart in vain Telling me you’re already forgiven It took me years to say it Already forgiven How could I let it stay? Already forgiven It takes me years to say it Already forgiven Why can’t I let it fade?

-- Lyrics -- Please don’t wait I know you’ll be gone for a while Plans you made Now I’m in the way of the ride Keep on singing softly to me I won’t hold on tight This might be the last time Please don’t stay We know that it wouldn’t be right Old mistakes We’re playing them night after night Keep on singing softly to me Don’t turn out the light This might be the last time This might be the last time Oh I know that you don’t want it to be The last time And you said that you don’t want it to be The last time Oh I know that you don’t want it to be When you swore it up and down on your knees That all you really wanted was to be free Well what else could I have done to believe you? When my mistakes aren’t enough to keep me away From what it is I think that I need Now we’re exactly where we said we would be The last time

Fables 03:07
-- Lyrics -- All fables fail you when you’re older And still the mirror on your wall Keeps you from staring into the darkness What vision’s keeping you awake? In fairytales you try to stay They echo back at you like a chorus And you’re still too young to know When you’re living for a ghost Spinning fables when the brightest colour’s fading Stories fail you when you’re grown Can’t hide us from our fall But my love for you is bold Take it all I found my old friends back at home And for my father I had all the answers Paid a price for pretending Heroes and villains I had made They’re all I have left of my day In one more page of unwritten endings Am I still too young too young to know I’ve been living for a ghost In my mind the brightest colours are unfaded Stories fail you when you’re grown Don’t believe them anymore My love for you is bold but it can’t save you My love for you is bold but it won’t change you My love for you is bold Take it all How long can I be golden? If stories I’ve told can’t save my love Oh how do I be - How do I be bold? How do I be bold? Stories all been told Can’t save you from it all

-- Lyrics -- Don’t wait for a fortune Don’t wait for the phone I’ve been there before you I know where you’ve gone Where you keep on running Where you fall apart Diamonds in the dust here Sing into the dark I’m at the end of the world Another end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world You fall apart when you fall into it Love is at the end of the world In every song that you sing back to it Love is at the end of the world I fall apart when you fall into me Find me at the end of the world Write it from your future See it from the start Casting this all for you Glitter in the yard You could keep on running You could start a war Diamonds in the dust still Sing into the dark Another end of the world And at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world You fall apart when you fall into it Love is at the end of the world In every song that you sing back to me Love is at the end of the world I fall apart when you fall into me Diamonds at the end of the world Waiting there for you Waiting there for you Waiting there for you Waiting there for you I’m at the end of the world And at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Diamonds at the end of the world Find me at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world Love is at the end of the world
