I'm just a little bit afraid of it The darkness and the light It took me a while to realise It's not that hard to find That we could touch the stars with your hand in mine If it's wrong, then we'll go and we'll make it right When the stars and the planets align When you feel like you're all out of time When gravity isn't looking We'll fly away, fly away To a place where time is standing still And we can make it on our own Let's leave our fears behind And soar into the unknown When gravity isn't looking We'll find our way home It weighs so heavily on my heart Like an anchor in the dead seas Reminds me of what we could've been And I still see it in my dreams That we could touch the stars with your hand in mine If it's wrong, then we'll go and we'll make it right When the stars and the planets align When you feel like you're all out of time When gravity isn't looking We'll fly away, fly away To a place where time is standing still And we can make it on our own Let's leave our fears behind And soar into the unknown When gravity isn't looking We'll find our way home When the stars are out of reach and the night is closing in I want to escape to a place without the weight all on my skin And with you I'll break the chains, head to a place where we can see A world with us where we are free and happy Where I'll touch the stars with your hand in mine It's not wrong, cause we'll go and we'll make it right And the stars and the planets align I promise I'll save you this time When gravity isn't looking We'll fly away, fly away To a place where time is standing still And we can make it on our own Let's leave our fears behind And soar into the unknown When gravity isn't looking We'll find our way home We'll find our way home We'll find our way home We'll find our way home We'll find our way

[Harri] In a world of shadows, we collided Underneath the city's glow, we resided Lost in the sounds, a symphony of dreams Our hearts entwined And they're bursting at the seams [Harri] I know I can't have everything But I know somewhere in a distant universe There's a place with you and me And if I can't have you here then [Harri] Hey, let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams Where these hearts beat and it's more than it all seems Let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams What I can't have here has no meaning [Harri] So let's paint the sky with Let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams Let's paint the sky with Let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams Where these hearts beat and it's more than it all seems What I can't have here has no meaning [Autumn] Hearts synchronised, they're beating cold and blue I know, that we could be dangerous And that much is true You are the air I breathe that makes it hard to see Like fallen angels, it's all a dying memory [Autumn & Harri] I know I can't have everything But I know somewhere in a distant universe There's a place with you and me And if I can't have you here then [Autumn & Harri] Hey, let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams Where these hearts beat and it's more than it all seems Let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams What I can't have here has no meaning [Harri] And I know I can't have everything But I know somewhere in a distant universe There's a place with you and me [Autumn] If I could turn back time and just rewind To a place [Autumn & Harri] Before there's you and me This could all be fantasy (So) [Autumn & Harri] Hey, let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams Where these hearts beat and it's more than it all seems Let's paint the sky with technicolor dreams What I can't have here has no meaning (What I can't have here) [Autumn & Harri] So let's paint the sky with Let's paint the sky with all our twisted schemes Let's paint the sky with Let's paint the sky with all my stolen dreams Where these hearts beat and it's more than it all seems What I can't have here has no meaning

[undy] I was feeling like royalty I thought I had it all I didn't see the shadows I didn't hear the fall When are you comin' around I thought I had it made Falling through these skies Now I'm left in the shade, mm No, I don't regret it I can't forget it Sometimes I wonder what if I'd stayed What, we had was just a moment And moments fade away What, we had can't be unbroken 'Cause things would never change When you know, you know Caught in the afterglow What, we'd have if you Give me a reason But there ain't a reason to stay No I was playing with fire I thought I had it right But I got caught in your web Lost within the night, mm No, I don't regret it I can't forget it Sometimes I wonder what if I'd stayed What, we had was just a moment And moments fade away What, we had can't be unbroken 'Cause things would never change When you know, you know Caught in the afterglow What, we'd have if you Give me a reason But there ain't a reason to stay I didn't expect to see you again so soon In the doorway of my best friend's place Saw the look on your face (yeah) You say you came to get your things But I can't help but think Sometimes I wonder What if I'd stayed What if I'd stayed What, we had was just a moment And moments fade away What, we had can't be unbroken 'Cause things would never change When you know, you know Caught in the afterglow What, we'd have if you Give me a reason But there ain't a reason to stay There ain't a reason to stay No, there ain't a reason to stay-y-ayy, yeah There ain't a reason to stay

All my friends are saying that I'm fine But they haven't asked in weeks Every time they just pass by I know that my friends are doing fine ''Cause I ask them all the time I swear to God I don't know why 'Cause now I'm sitting here alone And all my friends are getting stoned Got no idea how I'm getting home I'm here alone Before the floodgates open They'll come running through When there's blood in the water What are you gonna do? I am locked up by the shadows And I'm lost in the abyss When there's blood in the water Am I left here to sink Or do I swim? There's nothing left for me Do I swim? In the halls of my despair, I stand alone With a darkness in my head I'm a ghost surrendered there In the halls of my despair, I hear them roam With a bounty on their prey This happens every fucking day 'Cause now I'm sitting here alone And all my friends are getting stoned Got no idea how I'm getting home I'm here alone Before the floodgates open They'll come running through When there's blood in the water What are you gonna do? I am locked up by the shadows And I'm lost in the abyss When there's blood in the water Am I left here to sink Or do I swim? There's nothing left for me Do I swim? They must enjoy this The blood in the water is the scent of my demise It's kind of funny that they try They must enjoy this The blood in the water leads me right towards their eyes I swear I don't know why I try I'm treading water alone Without a lifeline to cling to No safe harbor to call my home Before the floodgates open They'll come running through When there's blood in the water What are you gonna do? I am locked up by the shadows And I'm lost in the abyss When there's blood in the water Do I just fucking sink Or do I swim? There's nothing left for me So do I swim?

Never Change 03:01
You wore a mask, a perfect disguise But I saw the venom in your eyes We all could, besides the one you loved At least, that's what you said you had his trust And we all warned him of your touch We knew that you would be too much 'Cause everything you see turns into dust Finally had enough I called you a liar, knew from the start that was true But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? You called yourself a bitch, I'm glad you realized finally Put my friend through all this shit, and you have the guts to let it be You'll never change You said you'll wait But you'll never change So when your friends ask you why you're through What do you say? Talented artist, painted him the villain But deep inside your guilt is unforgiving We all knew, from the very start of it That what you said wasn't from your heart And we all warned him of your touch We knew that you would be too much 'Cause everything you see turns into dust Finally had enough I called you a liar, knew from the start that was true But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? You called yourself a bitch, I'm glad you realized finally Put my friend through all this shit, and you have the guts to let it be You'll never change You said you'll wait But you'll never change Mm-hm Never change, never change, that's what you do Lies and lies, upon lies, it's all about you Never change, never change, that's what you do Lies and lies, upon lies, it's all about you So when your friends ask you why you're through What do you say?

I know you remember The things you said I believe you meant them And it goes straight to my head I'm sorry I cry too much You wouldn't know why Wish I could explain myself But God I've tried I don't know what to do with you I wanna be friends but When we're strangers I think you'll thank me for it later I held you close Hoping you'd crack and leave Because I can't bear to face the feeling Of flying without wings Of trying out new things Like learning friends can be temporary I saw all the texts you sent to him Your partner in crime And you thought I'd never see them But you stepped out of line I don't know how you could be so happy Making someone so unhappy This way (This way you make someone so unhappy) I don't know what to do with you I wanna be friends but When we're strangers I know you'll thank me for it later I held you close Hoping you'd crack and leave Because I can't bear to face the feeling Of flying without wings Of trying out new things Can we try again? Can we be friends? We'll start as if We've never met We'll try to mend If you let Us become strangers Once again In the end We'll play pretend If I fall For you again In the end You'll play the friend And I'll play The stranger once again (Like learning friends can be temporary) I held you close Hoping you'd crack and leave Because I can't bear to face the feeling Of flying without wings Of trying out new things Like learning friends can be temporary

I just wanna say I got your text yesterday And all the voices in my head Are telling me to stay away But when you're gone It's all gone And I know I have no chance of surviving All alone Well, I think we count as strangers Give me time and give me space It's clear that you'd only save yourself And leave me 'til it's too late Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be Another dead end a hundred miles away from me I'm out of my body, sailing through time I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind I'm out of my body, stealing time You put your life in the spotlight Now the curtain's closed And I know I need to move on Because the backstage is too damn toxic For me to get along I wish that I had known it From the start That your role in the friendship Would be the leading part So don't put yourself on that pedestal It can't take your own weight It's clear that you'd only save yourself And leave me 'til it's too late Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be Another dead end a hundred miles away from me I'm out of my body, sailing through time I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind I'm out of my body, stealing time You put your life in the spotlight Ooh, it was never meant to be like this Close the book and you lost your page Make up the next part, and take the stage They say every story has a happy ending Just think about the message you're sending Just a pale ghost standing where I used to be Another dead end a hundred miles away from me I'm out of my body, sailing through time I feel like a curse when I'm out of my mind I'm out of my body, stealing time You put your life in the spotlight I guess this is how the curtain closes now

In My Mind 04:03
The version of you that I had in my mind Has completely faded away And now the you that I find Is different in every way The memories stored in my heart Held together only by tape From the time that I tore them apart I guess I just went too far But in my mind There's a thousand things to say to you And so much more I'd wanna do, oh And in my mind You're still the same person I knew years ago Thinking where did all this time go, oh (The thoughts of you) You're like a dictator But much like a child Come off your pedestal and enter the wild If you can patch up the truth Then can you patch up my heart? If you could find where I dropped it That'd be a start With the memories stored in my brain Held together only by tape You can't feel it but you cause pain Yeah, if only you'd see it But in my mind There's a thousand things to say to you And so much more I'd wanna do, oh And in my mind You're still the same person I knew years ago Thinking where did all this time go, oh (The thoughts of you) Frozen in time Wish you'd understand the signs Cause when I look back and find Nothing new, I'm not surprised And you're frozen in time Between pages and lines The real you is not Who I've got stuck in my mind (I've gotten stuck in my mind) Deleting the evidence, erasing your crime The version of you that I had in my mind Why do you sit up high and control What goes into your kingdom of lies 'Cause in my mind There's a thousand things to say to you And so much more I'd wanna do, oh And in my mind You're still the same person I knew years ago Thinking where did all this time go, oh (The thoughts of you) Frozen in time Wish you'd understand the signs Cause when I look back and find Nothing new, I'm not surprised And you're frozen in time Between pages and lines The real you is not Who I've got stuck in my mind

Butterfly 03:40
They look at you and judge you on your beauty 'Cause what is on the outside is all they see But I know for sure that there is so much more So ignore the lies they tell you, be free Yeah, if god gave you wings, would you use them? Is it beauty or a chore to just abuse them? 'Cause if you go flying too high, you'll reach the top of the sky And then we'd all be wishing we'd clipped them And I've opened up to talking to the plants 'Cause nobody else wants to see me And if I spread these wings, I still couldn't fly 'Cause I don't believe you'd believe me But still, I'll spread my wings The beautiful things You're not worth making me cry Yeah still, I'll spread my wings The violent things It's worth at least a try Take what you want, and take what you can Guess nobody said this was easy 'Cause maybe I've been flying in the wrong direction All my life, need to think twice And I've opened up to talking to the plants 'Cause I don't want anybody to see me And if I spread these wings, I still couldn't fly 'Cause I don't believe you'd believe me But still, I'll spread my wings The beautiful things You're not worth making me cry Yeah still, I'll spread my wings The violent things It's worth at least a try And I have waited an eternity To tell you how I feel, but you lied to me Now I have the future and it's mine to keep 'Cause I know and believe I believe in me (And still, I'll spread my wings) (I'll spread my wings, ah-ah-ah) And still, I'll spread my wings The beautiful things You're not worth making me cry Yeah still, I'll spread my wings The violent things It's worth at least a try And still, I'll spread my wings The beautiful things You're not worth making me cry Yeah still, I'll spread my wings The violent things It's worth at least a try (And still, I'll spread my wings) (I'll spread my wings) (And still, I'll spread my wings) (I'll spread my wings and fly so high)

Who are you seeing, babe I'm dreaming Out of my body is my life It's all I know Been seeing faces in these places So familiar, I'm a ghost I drift and roam I've got a void that I call home In his reflection, there's a stranger But I sense I know more than I should about him Oh, what about him? Was a connection and I lost it At some point I must have forgot it And he's rising up above this I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind I can't see clear this time I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind You see straight through me I can't hi-i-ide, yeah Say I've degraded, rearrange it Do you get the same result? I wouldn't know I'm just a person, I'm a no-one I don't recognise my host I've gotta go Would you blame me though? In his reflection, there's a stranger But I sense I know more than I should about him Oh, what about him? Was a connection and I lost it At some point I must have forgot it And he's rising up above this I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind I can't see clear this time I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind You see straight through me I can't hi-i-ide And all of the times I wanted to die I wanted to never be seen in the light Again And all of the times I left him behind I peered through the cracks and crawled back to my mind This isn't the end (And all of the times I wanted to die) (I wanted to never be seen in the light, yeah) I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind I can't see clear this time I've tried a thousand times To get you off my mind You see straight through me I can't hi-i-ide I can't hide Come back to me, come back to me You see, you see straight through me

[Mia Robson] Ocean sunsets and city views I've never felt so lost without you We'd run away under the starry skies Eyes like glass in the moon's glow If time won't pass then we can stay afloat But dawn comes sooner than we could've hoped Tell me now, if we could do it again Would you do it the same way? Or somehow, if you could turn back the clocks Would you hide and run away? Play it now, like a movie Of our nostalgia in sepia Release me now I, would do it all again I, I like a happy end I, wish I could have you near To take away this fear I know I'm a mess, pounding heart in my chest But if you stick with me, we can make up the rest And I, would do it all again We'll write a happy ending Morning dew and the dawn breaks You know that I know that you can't stay And our last night, it burned so bright And tell me how to lucid dream So I could feel you next to me I can barely see But I know where you should be Tell me now, if we could do it again Would you do it the same way? Or somehow, if you could turn back the clocks Would you hide and run away? Play it now, like a movie Of our nostalgia in sepia Release me now I, would do it all again I, I like a happy end I, wish I could have you near To take away this fear I know I'm a mess, pounding heart in my chest But if you stick with me, we can make up the rest And I, would do it all again We'll write a happy ending These dreams should haunt me But they bring me to life I wish you'd save me But I feel so alive Let's run away Let's run away into the arms of the night Hold me tight (Hold me, hold me) I, would do it all again I, I like a happy end I, wish I could have you near To take away this fear I know I'm a mess, pounding heart in my chest But if you stick with me, we can make up the rest And I, would do it all again We'll write a happy ending
