Predictable 03:16
Lyrics: She didn’t know what she’d get if the walls changed Even though she had her dreams she tried to play it safe She always wanted her face in the movies But the mirror shows a sad girl serving coffee So nothing’s different and nothing is right Still in the same town drowning in the same crowd Her heart is crying but her eyes keep the sight out She’s slowly losing herself Right now the future is predictable She can tell by her past Right now her life is so invisible But now a change, she feels a change, there’s a Right now the future is predictable Like everything and nothing she’d always planned Somehow she feels so invisible She’s quit her job and now she’s got some auditions This time it’s diff’rent she’s driving her ambitions She’s so excited there’s colour in her face But now the car’s stopped, while she hopes and waits Cause habits catch her that hide in the night Stuck in the same crowd, dying in a new town Her heart is crying but her eyes keep the light out She’s slowly losing herself Right now the future is predictable She can tell by her past Right now her life is still invisible But now a change, she feels a change, there’s a Right now the future is predictable Like everything and nothing she’d always planned And now she’s tired of being invisible so predictable She’s tired of sleeping in tired of where she hasn’t been So tired of giving in to everyone and everything But most of all she’s tired of being afraid and a thing called fear that never ends It never ends so Right now the future’s unpredictable She knows it won’t be her past cause right now she knows its unpredictable the steps that make up the path its unpredictable she made it unpredictable

Reconcile 02:47
Lyrics: You reconcile my Reconcile my love Reconcile my... Kicked my door in, tore me through a whirlwind Shot me down and spun me in a tailspin Seduced my secrets Didn’t really understand what was happening Made me lose control of all of my senses Now I’m sitting here stripped of my protections Could this be my fall? No, no, you seem to know me Pull apart all the machinery in me Cut me up and perform life threat’ning surgery I don’t understand how this can be happening I’ve been buried for a thousand years now Dead and gone for a thousand years underground solo You reconcile my Reconcile my love Reconcile my X3 I gave in to the moment Woke up deep into a new world of roses Caught amnesia for my past in the process Wasn’t looking to the future to find this You reconcile my love You heal my heart inside You reconcile my love, reconcile my…

Heartbeat 01:54
Lyrics: I’m addicted to your heartbeat It helps me fall asleep Pleasant dreams Place my ear upon your chest Your drum is happiness Happiness I will sleep forever Just stay here forever And I will dream us both awake Both awake We don’t have to wake up Nothing has to break this up Break this up Dreams were meant to come true And this is mine so don’t you move Don’t you move I will sleep forever Just stay here forever And I will dream us both awake Both awake Both awake yes I will dream us both awake

Magic 03:27
Lyrics: I don’t need time any more Cause I have you Everything that mattered has disappeared Cause I’m with you, I’m with you It’s cold outside but I wouldn’t know All I feel is you, it’s you It's magic, it’s you It's magic, it’s you I don’t wanna know the secret I don’t wanna understand I just wanna be around it I just wanna be around you Behind you beside you with you It's magic, it’s you It's magic, it’s you We don’t see it and its nothing we can touch But it’s in the air and it’s all around And I’d die in heaven if I could drown in this magic It's magic, it’s you It's magic, it’s you

Say No 05:15
Lyrics: I’ve written off love, long ago But I played the part for the show Cause people never find love true Even though I told myself they do And it seems that you might like me now But I know deep down I’ve got nothing to offer And this you’re gonna soon find out That I’ll let you down Over and over Say no Say no to me, listen closely Say no Just save yourself, save us from me Cause I can’t say that word I’ll only make it hurt I wish I had something to give I wish I had love to touch you with I wish I could believe my lies Then I could sleep tonight So if you continue to pursue No matter how hard I try, I can’t tell you the truth I don’t really understand why I sabotage myself and every girl that tries Say no Say no to me, make it easy Say no Just save yourself, save us from me Cause I won’t say that word I’m only gonna make it hurt I know for most it’s probably pretty easy But it’s seems I like to make my life hard So save yourself this mistake and hit the brakes and let me go and Say no Say no to me, listen closely to you heart You know you’re having doubts I’m giving you an out Cause I can’t say that word I’ll only make this hurt

Replay 02:39
Lyrics: It’s crazy how I’m lying in bed replaying that awkward moment I wanted to forget And all the things I wish I’d said / I would’ve had em with this / Or stumped em with that What would’ve happened if I’d struck back What would they say if I cornered them and made them pay? I guess it doesn’t matter/ But its pissing me off losing myself to another awkward moment replay Losing myself Replay What the hell is wrong with me I’m a victim of my memory Cause I’m stuck wanting the past to change Kidnapped My brain’s in locks and chains Sweet revenge sounds so good in my brain Yea sweet revenge looks so good in my brain oh aah ah I gotcha Oh ah ah I gotcha there Oh ah ah I gotcha Oh ah ah I gotcha back Oh what am I gonna do now that I am lying wide awake I’m trying hard to let it go And turn the page And maybe get to dream of a place where I can sleep And let it be The funny thing is they probably don’t remember what I said So what’s with all this weight I carry in my head I’ve already lost half the night so can I give up the fight? Can I lose the replay – please? Can I? I Just need to forget. So here I am still lying in bed replaying that awkward moment I wanted to forget And all the things I wish I’d said Would I have had em with this Or stumped em with that Would I have had em if I’d struck back Would I have cornered them and made them pay its hard to say And now it doesn’t matter No it really doesn’t matter does it Oh what am I gonna do now that I am lying wide awake I’m trying hard to let it go And turn the page And maybe get to dream of a place where I can sleep And let it be The funny thing is they probably don’t remember what I said So what’s with all this weight I carry in my head I’ve already lost half the night so can I give up the fight? Can I lose the replay – please? Can I? I Just need to forget. Replay

Lyrics: I did it again I missed the green lights racing to the red Pushed the pedal down, speeding so fast, I couldn’t get out Avoiding yes or no, threw away all control What am I, what am I worried about, now? What am I, what am I worried about this time? The rain will still fall, the birds will still have their call What am I, what am I worried about, now? I’ve got so much to give But I squeeze so hard, my heart’s crushed in Nothing comes out under the pressure, and only tears begin The path to the light Is unveiled through the night I notice the stars and suddenly the sun appears What am I, what am I worried about, now? What am I, what am I worried about this time? The trees will still grow, seasons will come and go What am I, what am I worried about, now? Everything is alright But I’m still in this fight Gotta close my eyes And remember the heart beats in my life What am I, what am I worried about? What am I, what am I worried about, now? What am I, what am I worried about this time? The earth will still spin, and another tomorrow begins What am I, what am I worried about Nothing, nothing…. worried about Nothing, nothing’s weighing me down now What am I worried about…..now

Work It Out 03:13
Lyrics: All this time I’ve been standing still Not really feeling like I could move Not really feeling anything Sunrise turned into sunset but I Didn’t notice cause I wasn’t focused Upon anything Cause nothing could move me But looking at you on this random Wednesday /Afternoon I see the way out. I see a way in. I can finally see you. I can finally feel you. When I look in your eyes. I can finally see you. Whatever our problems, from now til the end Whatever the winds bring, we’ll always sing Whatever our problems, from now til the end Whatever the winds bring, we’ll always sing We’ll work it out. We’ll work it out We’ll work it out We’ll work it out We’ll work it out We’ll work it out We’ll work it out We’ll work it out I’m fighting my way through the city streets to get to you I’m moving the mountains cause they’re in the way of you Noooooooowww We’ll work it out X6

Awake 02:58
Lyrics: I’d been dead inside for months Frozen in my fears that you might not be the one To melt me Moments fell through my hands Like they were made of concrete Like a statue So you let go And I let you go too I didn’t fight, cause I didn’t know What I was losing Now my mem’ries keep me awake Cause I keep dreaming about all the love that you gave And how I couldn’t take it And how I let it blow away And what a lover and friend that I could be today You are the first one my heart could trust Falling in love months and days late was just not in time for us While I argued with myself, I couldn’t hear you, see or feel you I couldn’t drink you in If I had just looked in your eyes I would’ve been so mesmerized I would’ve saved myself from all this mess and fallen in love in time But here I am still dreaming awake Thinking about the love that I could have gave And how we would’ve made it And how we’d never fade away And how you’d love me and how you’d always hear me say I love you

Just A Look 02:46
Lyrics: You really are that smart/ It really is that smile That spills your charm and/ lasts for miles That explosive laugh it/ Just melts the walls I’m soaking in you and it’s tripping me and making me fall I’m stealing money from the bank and I’m keeping it I’m feeling richer than a Rockefeller relative I wanna tell you so that you can keep on glowing Just be yourself and please don’t stop - cause you own it Just a look Just a look is all it takes Just a look Just a look and its love Innocent naïve like/ You don’t even know And when you think out loud you grab me by the heart and hold Inquisitive while you/ Play with your hair Haven’t lost that little girl in you when you’ve got stories to share I have a dream and you/ Always seem to be in it Your dress is flowing, kisses blowing to me through the wind The sun gets jealous when you look at me the way you do Cause no day in July could possibly be as bright as you CHORUS When I’m here with you – hope is real X2 If I could catch a shining shooting star Then I’d be always where you are X2 When I’m with you it’s like I’m in a Disney dream You keep me wishing on a star You’re beautiful just like a shooting star And when you get that look You constantly fill my heart - You’re making me love just who you are

Lyrics: I was lost Pushed you away Ran to the edge Fought so hard to prove you were wrong But you were there all along And when I lied To myself Lost all sight of the light You were patiently standing always by my side I made my mistakes, my poor heart, I never forgave Was locked in a past that stole all I had. Got so tired Of being alone Wanted so bad to find my way home And finally I, see it was here, all along Solo (over the verse chords) I made my mistakes, my poor heart, I never forgave I was locked in a past that stole all I have. Now I’m so thankful I can see All the joy and smiles for me I’m singing this song For the love that’s been here all along I’m singing this song In the love that’s been here all along
