AFFIRMATION
(4:56)
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself, alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love till you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love till you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedding bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love till you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say
Until you say goodbye

HOLD ME
(4:50)
Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need to to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
(Hold me tonight
Say it's alright)
Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need to to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me
Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need to to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
-------------------
I KNEW I LOVED YOU
(4:10)
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
Like in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Ooh
A thousand angels dance around
Ooh
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

THE BEST THING
(4:19)
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You're the best thing about me
Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze, searching for a way to
Shut down, turn around, feel the ground beneath me
You're so close, where do you end, where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation on me
I'm in a daze, stumbling, bewildered
North of gravity, head up in the stratosphere
You and I, rollercoaster-riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Walk on broken glass, make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind, kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Yu could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?
-------------------
CRASH AND BURN
(4:41)
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel
Like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief
And people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone
Coz there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone
-------------------
CHAINED TO YOU
(4:08)
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've gotta be chained to you
And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate, is it my destiny?
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've gotta be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've gotta be chained to you
And I think about you all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness
I barely know you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've gotta be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've gotta be chained to you

THE ANIMAL SONG
(4:39)
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far
Got to break away so take my hand now cos
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left upon the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
But I don't feel it coz I just run away in my mind
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
-------------------
THE LOVER AFTER ME
(4:50)
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just that everywere I go the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call a different name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call a different name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm holding on for you
Here I go again
I promised myself I would think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name coz I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call a different name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
-------------------
TWO BEDS AND A COFFEE MACHINE
(3:27)
And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming, now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it
-------------------
YOU CAN STILL BE FREE
(4:18)
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the buring sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go
Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind don't stop
And go high
You're free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight
-------------------
GUNNING DOWN ROMANCE
Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
In your brain
And feelings of agression are the abence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
Coz I feel my self esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Coz I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in my skin
Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that priveleged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Coz I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really do
I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me
Take these broken wings
I'm gonna take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away
-------------------
I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE
I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city
Always a relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same
Has your opinion changed?
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying it everyday
So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face
I see your face

HOLD ME
(4:50)
Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need to to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
(Hold me tonight
Say it's alright)
Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring

THE BEST THING
(4:19)
Never want to fly
Never wanna leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe

THE ANIMAL SONG
(4:39)
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far
Got to break away so take my hand now cos
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left upon the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
But I don't feel it coz I just run away in my mind
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?
I want to live (like animals)
Careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Been up half the night screaming, now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car

Wonder how I ever made it through
And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it

YOU CAN STILL BE FREE
(4:18)
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the buring sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go
Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind don't stop
And go high
You're free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

GUNNING DOWN ROMANCE
Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
In your brain
And feelings of agression are the abence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
Coz I feel my self esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Coz I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in my skin
Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that priveleged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Coz I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really do
I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me
Take these broken wings
I'm gonna take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE
I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city
Always a relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same
Has your opinion changed?
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying it everyday
So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?
Coz I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face
I see your face
