I woke up / and I could not tell / if the place was heaven / or if it was hell / I got up / surrounded by the light / then she held my hand says / “don’t give up the fight” // It is running through my veins / lighting up my eyes / There is no one else to blame / nowhere else to start / feeling alive / x2 // Can’t believe I’m there / laying with you / It’s the first time / I am feeling too // It is running through my veins / lighting up my eyes / There is no one else to blame / nowhere else to start / feeling alive / x2 //.../

Scream It As You Mean It
03:22
|

|
I can’t believe what you just said / can’t get your words out of my head / I want you to know that I care / Why can’t we start it all over again? / Why does it have to end in pain? / I want you to know that I care // Leave it all inside / and it’s gonna find its own way out / Don’t stay in between / you just have to scream it as you mean it //.../ I heard you crying in your bed / I heard you wishing I was dead... / I want you to know that I care / I’d like to know if you’re ok / Who’s taking care of you these days? / I need you to know that I care // Leave it all inside / and it’s gonna find its own way out / Don’t stay in between / you just have to scream it as you mean it //.../ That’s ok, you can tell me, and if I’m falling on my knees, it’s just to tell you that I’m sorry, after that you ‘ll be released... / x4

Such A Light Soul
03:06
|
|||
|
Late at night / she can’t sleep with these feelings inside / so she flies / like she used to do when she was a child / and all her dreams of a perfect life / all her dreams are coming back to her mind / it’s all that she needs / a perfect lie / a prefect man standing right on her side // And she’s just waiting for the man, the one who’ll try to understand her, the one who’ll finally realize that she’s just perfect in the end / x2 // So she’s flying high / everyone’s too busy to look up the sky / dreams are so cruel / it’s not an easy world, for such a light soul / she starts to fall, she’s calling for help / dreams are so cruel / so she promised herself / she’ll never fall in love again / ‘cause in the end it’s just giving her pain // And she’s just waiting for the man, the one who’ll try to understand her, the one who’ll finally realize that she’s just perfect in the end / x2 // she’s just perfect in the end / the secrets of love / just feel the harmony / the secrets of love / the secrets of destiny / just feel the harmony / you’re just perfect in the end

Fancy Cars
03:07
|

|
I’m gonna do my time / ‘til I make you mine / I’m gonna sing this song / ‘til I get tired of it / Fancy cars, a loft in New York city / I want it all the feeling will never stop / (I wanna) make you dance / ‘til you’re all sweaty / make you scream / like the girls for Britney / the time has come to crash the party / the time is now so you’d better be ready //...// Deep inside where’s the glory / I guess I try not to worry / the world is round and the beat goes on / you got to find yourself a reason to live on / Don’t ask me ‘cause I have no answer / the things I know won’t make you feel better / we should realize that we’re living a dream / and the fancy cars don’t mean anything //...// I don’t know my age and I don’t know my name / I try not to be the same / I hope that someday you will forgive me / I won’t waste my time to find someone to blame / I’ll learn how to deal with shame / I hope that someday you will forgive me / and I’ll sing //…//

High
03:43
|

|
Time is out / eaten by the crowd / I wonder why, then / why do they have to run so fast / I can’t explain, but the answer in the end / will be so bright, you’ll see / releasing us from all the pain / I’d rather find a religion / You say I’d rather find my redemption // But all in all I am high I am high / overflying all those places / I am high I am high / seeking all those faces / I’ll never come back on the ground / I’ll never look behind / I am high // Run away to the silent bay / and you’ll see Venus / talking to herself / I’d rather trust the old wise man / you say I’d rather start to understand // But all in all I am high I am high / overflying all those places / I am high I am high / seeking all those faces / I’ll never come back on the ground / I’ll never look behind / ‘cause I am high // Just feel the silence, open your eyes / there is no reason to compromise / Disturb the silence, open your eyes / and on your way you’ll realize // That all in all / you are high / x2 / Overflying all those places / you are high / x2 / Seeking all those faces / you’ll never come back on the ground / you’ll never look behind / ‘cause you are high //

My baby loves my brand new song she says / it’s bright and it feels home she makes / me feel like I’m a man you know / some kind of Superhero / Baby you gotta hear this one this time / I’ll put my heart and mind / it’s time to share my soul / you’ve got to love it all // From all the things that have been said, from all the stupid books I read, I only think that you should love it all love it all / x2 // What if we were all the same? / What if this life was just a game? / Tell me who wins in the end? / Tell me that we will still be friends / I know my shoes are dirty / but I’m feeling good vibes around me / I know that someday I will die / But I’m gonna prove that I can fly // From all the things that have been said, from all the stupid books I read, I only think that you should love it all love it all / x2 / You know that I’ve been tryin / x3 / to love it all / From all the things that have been said, from all the stupid books I read, I only think that you should love it all love it all / x2 // You know that I’ve been tryin / x3 / to love it all

Rat In A Trap
03:06
|
|||
|
Don’t know where this train is going to / Don’t know where I’ll be getting out / I just want to try out something new / and find a place where I can shout / Don’t tell me that I am getting old / it’s not what it is all about / I think that I’m only getting bored / feeling like a rat in a trap / If you feel like you have seen it all / If you think you don’t need to stay / You’d better go and see the world / ‘cause Rome wasn’t build in one day / Don’t tell me that you’re getting old / it’s not what it is all about / I think that you’re only getting bored / feeling like a rat in a trap / 1 2 3 4 // Tell me what do you see / when you take a look in the mirror / Tell me what do you see / I hope that you can see the world / Tell me what do you see / when you take a look in the mirror / Tell me what do you see / I’m sure there’s a way for us to feel free // No place to stay I’m on the run / Not sure that I will make it with you / I already had so much fun / I don’t mind missing a train or two // Tell me what do you see / when you take a look in the mirror / Tell me what do you see / I hope that you can see the world / Tell me what do you see / when you take a look in the mirror / Tell me what do you see / I’m sure there’s a way for us to feel free // You’re so damn right, I’m feeling alone, I’m feeling light, I should keep on running / x2 / I feel you, I can feel you in the dark, when the clock suddenly stops, I can hear your voice and I love you, you’re the one that gives me hope, you’re the one that fills my soul and I know that you’re real / x2

Seventeen
03:04
|

|
I thought I was better off alone / I thought I could live on my own / before I met this crazy queen / the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen / She makes me reconsider things / makes me believe in happy endings / the one that makes me feel home / x2 // It’s only been a year, but I wanna say to you, time doesn’t mean a thing when I’m around you / It’s only been a year, but I wanna say to you, time doesn’t mean a thing, I’m in love with you // She’s the sweetest girl in town / and when she walks there’s light around her / She could have anyone she wants / but she chose me; what are the odds? / She makes me feel like I’m a man / and she’s the one that understands me / Taking all the pain away / for all these reasons I want to say // It’s only been a year, but I wanna say to you: time doesn’t mean a thing when I’m around you / It’s only been a year, but I wanna say to you: time doesn’t mean a thing, I’m in love with you // I want you to be mine I keep on holding up my breath / x4 /

Winter

Hold on I know this place / from the time I was falling out of grace / I won’t do the same mistakes I won’t break / the only thing that matters to me / Stand still can’t you see / we’re all waiting for a reason to believe / Hold still right next to me we won’t break / the only thing that matters // Tell me that you’re feeling the same / Tell me that it’s not just a game / Hold me just as hard as you can / Kiss me as you would kiss your man // I wish you were there / just to tell me there’s no reasons to be scared / I’d get back on the road to tell them / the only thing that matters / I wish you were here / to make this stupid feeling disappear / If we manage to work it out / then it will make us stronger // Tell me that you’re feeling the same / Tell me that it’s not just a game / Hold me just as hard as you can / Kiss me as you would kiss your man //

Morning Light
03:57
|
|||
|
How many times will I have to try this silly game to get over it? / This morning light is cheering me up, the city is waiting for me to get up / How long is the flight? How deep is the answer? / This morning light is cheering me up // I cannot believe these things are in my head / We both know I have to leave; we did just like we said / I never thought that I would sign up for the fall / I never thought that I would fight to lose it all // How many times will I have to try this silly game to get over it? / This morning light is cheering me up, the city is waiting for me to get up / How long is the flight? How deep is the answer? / This morning light is cheering me up // Changing rules again, you got into my way / Tried to make me understand how feelings float away / I hope you know that I will never change at all / I hope you know that I will never sell my soul // How many times will I have to try this silly game to get over it? / This morning light is cheering me up, the city is waiting for me to get up / How long is the flight? How deep is the answer? / This morning light is cheering me up // But if you think you’re not ok, you should be dancing all alone / You gotta feel it in the air, you gotta feel it in your bones / But if you think you’re not ok, you should be dancing all alone / You gotta feel it in the air, you gotta feel it in your bones / All this times, you should know, there’s a part of me that will go / x4

Falling
03:05
|
|||
|
I keep on falling / I keep on falling on and on / Nobody’s helping / they’re all stressed and on the run / Maybe it’s time for you / to tell me the secrets that you keep / Maybe it’s time for you / to go on with your life / and finally fall asleep // What have I done? Where have I been? / How can’t I remember all the things I’ve seen? / What have I done? Where have I been? / I’ll keep on trying harder singing what I mean // You keep on smiling / You keep on smiling on and on / Now they’re all watching / mothers, daughters, fathers and sons / Then you just hold my hand / and you said things to calm me down / Then you just hold my hand / said that the best is yet to come // What have I done? Where have I been? / How can’t I remember all the things I’ve seen? / What have I done? Where have I been? / I’ll keep on trying harder singing what I mean // I realized that there’s nowhere else to go / I realized that there’s noone else to know / I realized that there’s nowhere else to go / I realized that there’s noone else to know // What have I done?... //

Sharing The Same Sun

Say what you have to say / the morning will still rise / the birds will still fly / Pray who you have to pray / the rain will still come / the lions will still run / Walking in the wild feeling deep inside / who you really are think how far you decide / There’s a higher force there’s a living source / take a look outside see how all coincides / Where do your dreams bring you to? / What are the issues you’ve been through? / I guess we’ll never understand / we could discuss until the end / There is a light inside of everyone / x4 / Is there a way we can live along? / We’re all sharing the same sun / Is there a reason for all these bombs? / We’re all sharing the same sun / We’re all sharing the same old sun / the same old sun / the same old rain / We’re all sharing the same old sun / the same old sun / until the end / We’re all sharing the same sun / Is there a reason for all these bombs? / We’re all sharing the same sun / Is there a way we can live along? / We’re all sharing the same sun

Wake Up By Your Side
02:28

|
I know how to write / I know how to read / I know how to fight / and I can be mean / but I have to say / when you’re looking at me / I can feel my heart / beating in my head // All that I want is / is to wake up by you side / wake up by your side / 2x // If you want we can dance / pretend we could be friends / If you want we can fight / get you scream and get you cry / Whatever we will do / it will be me and you / you just opened my soul / gave me a reason to love it all // All that I want is / is to wake up by you side / wake up by your side / 2x // I guess I’m falling for you / x2 / You know how much I really care / and all the things I’ve been through / I’ve been trying trying trying / I’ve been trying trying trying / not to step out of the ground / I won’t screw it all this time // All that I want is / is to wake up by you side / wake up by your side / x2
