THERE'S US


There's me
Looking down at my shoes
The one smiling like the sun
That's you
What were you thinking
What was the song inside your head
There's us
Going on about a band
Working out how we play our hand
I lay there dreaming
Later all alone in my bed

If I was stupid
Maybe careless
So were you

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Freeze-frame
I'm not about to cry
It's too late for us to change
Why try
I've got a camera
Tucked away inside my heart

If I'm a loser
Or just unlucky
So are you

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Somewhere between then and now
I look away when you said we'll never change
And if you think what might have been
You'll lose today and we've got songs to play

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us
Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Over-rated
[Verse 1]
You think it's cool, just cause they're telling you
You gotta have it, then you'll never miss it at all
You need the thrill, just cause it's killing you
You're so close, so don't take it too far

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Verse 2]
Love and lost and everything between
It's perfect, it's poison that made me fall
You want it bad
Don't want it to skip away
It's too fast
It's gonna drag you down

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Bridge:]
Coming close now, not any clearer
With every breath you're going deeper
But I will pull you back to me

It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh..

It's over-rated
And it's over-rated
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
It's over-rated

Natural Disaster



Am I another Casualty?
In the battle you're fighting?
You're your own worse enemy,
At war with yourself, but you can't see.

And I can't stand to watch,
You're, coming, coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems that lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain.

Feel like you're moving in slow motion,
And you don't know where you're going,
You tried it all and it's too boring,
Tighten up your grip cause it's a long way down.

And I can't stand to watch,
You're, coming, coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain.

Watching you slip away,
It's getting harder everyday,
When you're coming down like a hurricane,
I can't stand to see you in pain,
So I just look away.

I can't stand to watch,
You're, coming, coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain, no rain...

Lightening strikes but there's no rain.

"Fade To Black"

Three Days,
Eight Hours,
Fourteen minutes gone,
You bend,
I'll break,
Like in every song,
Maybe I'm too scared to call,
Maybe I'm too tough to fall.

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share,
We fade to Black.


I call out for your warm embrace,
Feel your tears fall,
Upon my face,
What makes me so bullet proof?
What makes me act so removed?

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share

Feels like I'm running,
Running as fast as I can,
Feels like I'm trying,
Trying to understand why I keep crashing as hard as I can into you.

Da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da da da da,

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share...

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytimes I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share.

We fade to black

ANOTHER THIN LINE
I'm getting up know
the sun is burning my eyes and I ache
I'm living on a, freeway, running low on heart and good mistakes
I'm taking it to..living,just living all the lives I have to live
I'm playing off this feeling knowing that it's time to be forgiven

If I could only come around (I'm looking in the back)
Just stop and turn around (I need to get this off my back)
Am I outta my mind, for faking what's inside of me?


It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walkin on another thin line)

I'm wide awake now its getting dark and I can't see my way
I'm living through the game now, by watching every word that I might say

And now I've gotta come around (I'm falling through the cracks)
And stop and turn around (Can't get this off my back)
Am I outta my mind, for faking what's inside of me?

It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walkin on another thin line)
No, no, no I'm in the middle of a crime
taking left whats mine...As I fade away...
with everything I am

With everything I am
With all I have to stand
I'm not gonna fade, oh no!
Dragon tears and cover songs
When I've done nothing wrong
I just don't belong
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA

It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walkin on another thin line)
I'm in the middle of a crime...
taking left what's mine
as I fade away

Not standing alone
I'd go where I've known
If the earth could find my feet
I would run away and go where I known

But you don't even care
No you don't even care
Whats fair

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't let it pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I keep so far
I nearly lost my mind
I held on so tight
And now I see that I was blind

Bu you don't even care
No you don't even care
Whas fair


Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't keave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I have a party
I have a song
Don't need nobody ain't nothin wrong
I hear the talk
I hear the cry
Along the inside and looking out
Heyyyy

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't keave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behindddddd

Not standing around no no noo
Not standing around no no noo
Not standing around no no noo
Not standing around no no noo

Not standing around not standing around
Not standing around no no noo

"My Sweet Time"


[Verse 1]
Late at night hear the song spinning in my head
Heaven knows I can't sleep it off
I'm thinkin 'bout all my stuff missing my own bed
And all my friends but it's too late to call
Hanging out all day at the Holiday Inn
Waitin's such a drag until the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time

[Verse 2]
Calling out every night and it feels so good
How it works is a mystery
But I believe in my heart I'm doing what I should
With all these lost souls following
Waiting all day until let's begin
I love how it feels when the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
Getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time yeah

[Bridge:]
Maybe when this is over I'll understand
What I've got right here in my hands yeah
Maybe I
I'll ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Throught the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
I'll be home again

"Who Am I Fooling"


My skin doesn't fit
My words seem so hollow
I feel like a fraud
And that's a bitter pill to swallow

Sometimes it hits me right between the eyes
Everyone can see through my disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

All alone in the mirror
All alone on the shelf
I'm trying to hold on
To a little piece of myself

Doesn't anybody realize
Even I don't buy my own disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

There's a part of me that's fighting back
There's a part of me that knows
When I'm pouring out my heart
I'm still putting on a show

Who am I fooling
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

In my own sweet Time yeah yeah..
In my own sweet time yeah yeah
In my own sweet time yeah

White Lines"


I tried to tell you
I've got to get away
I tried to say
I need my space
I got to get some
Distance in between
My heart and my head

I'm on the razor's edge
I've been here before
I know the way

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me home

I held you in
My arms last night
I dreamed we were
Riding on a star
I kissed you and
The sun began to shine
In dreams I can do anything

It seems like I'm on my own
It feels like I'm losing it all

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me

Seems like I've been here before
I know the way
Seems like I've been on my own
So long
So long

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me home
