You can't see me in the dark
You can't see me without a spark
If you make it up and go
Could you make sure that I know
You're so much cooler than before
And there is so much more in store
I with there was a way that you
Could get everything you wanted
You could get everything you wanted
You could get everything you wanted
Yeah
Make it up as you go along
You can never get it wrong
No we're not on the same page
There's no way we can upstage
You're so much cooler than before
And there is so much more in store
I with there was a way that you
Could get everything you wanted
You could get everything you wanted
You could get everything you wanted
You could get everything you wanted now lets go
You're so much cooler than before
And there is so much more in store
I with there was a way that you
Could get everything you wanted
You're so much cooler than before
And there is so much more in store
I with there was a way that you

Cool Like Before

Oh, you know
What its like to be alive
Oh, you know
We were always standing side my side
And now there's nowhere left to hide
We're flowing like the rising tide
Oh, you know
We were cool like before
Oh, you know
It was too much to try to ignore
What you said last night
(I can't forget it)
You said you were alright
(Don't regret it)
It wasn't a fright
(Don't expect it)
It wasn't a fright
Just a bit of a surprise
I guess that's fine with me
I guess that's fine with me
I guess that's fine with me
You don't seem like the kind of guy
You would take of and realize
You don't seem like the kind of guy
You would take of and realize
What you said last night
(I can't forget it)
You said you were alright
(Don't regret it)
It wasn't a fright
(Don't expect it)
It wasn't a fright
Just a bit of a surprise

Waiting for the Storm
04:00

Wrote a song about nothing in particular
Strange how well it turned out
Now I'm sitting as the world spins around
Makes no sense why I'm stuck here again
Singing all the same old songs
I spit them out until the sun comes around
To you its all the same but if there was something I could do
Rest assured you'd be there to
And now its after two
Maybe I'm just saying things I've said before
Whats the harm in saying them more
Worked before and now I'm waiting for the storm
Makes no sense why I'm stuck here again
Singing all the same old songs
I spit them out until the sun comes around
Come on and hold me dear
I want to be lost and found
I know that it's quite decent
But it's no superabound
To you its all the same but if there was something I could do
Rest assured you'd be there to
And now its after two
La da da daaa dadaa daaaa
La daa daaa dadaa daadaaa
Da da daaa dadaa daaa
Da da daaa da da daaa
Da da daaa AaAaaAaAAaAAaaa da
Da da daaa AaAaaAaAAaAAaaa da da da do
Da da daaa dadaa daaa
Da da daaa da da dooooaao
Wrote a song about nothing in particular
Strange how well it turned out
Now I'm sitting as the world spins around
Now I'm sitting as the world spins around
Now I'm sitting as the world
Spins around

Unwind/Lazy

It's just a thing that you said
But I can't get it out of my head
It's time to make some time
Now we're crossing all the lines
'Cause you
Go through
With everything that you do
You
Go through
With everything that you do
It's just a state of mind
I'm the one you would have left behind
It's hard enough to unwind
Without you sneaking up behind
It's just a thing that you said
But I can't get it out of my head
It's time to make some time
Now we're crossing all the lines
'Cause you
Go through
With everything that you do
You
Go through
With everything that you do
It's just a state of mind
I'm the one you would have left behind
It's hard enough to unwind
Without you sneaking up behind
It's just a state of mind
I'm the one you would have left behind
It's hard enough to unwind
Without you sneaking up behind
Ooooh
La da da da do

Lazy
You're making me feel lazy
It's driving me crazy
And I don't know why
Ooooh
La da da da do
La da da da do
Lazy
You're making me feel lazy
It's driving me crazy
And I don't know why
Ooooh
La da da da do

Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
I could never compare to you
Even if I wanted to
And I don't
'Cause you were made for me
'Cause I could never compare to you
And that's alright with me
Oh no
There's something happening
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
'Cause I could never compare to you
And that's alright with me
Oh no
There's something up your sleeve
I could never compare to you
Even if I wanted to
And I don't
'Cause you were made for me
Someday you'll wonder why there's no one there in space
You'll jump so high that there's no air left to tast
When you float into space
Make sure to send me a postcard
When you float into space
Didn't know you could make it that far
When you float into space
I'm sure you'll make it out alive
But I'm really not sure
And neither are you
So maybe its time to figure out what to do
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you
Watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
Watch me watch you watching UFOs
(I could never compare to you)
(Even if I wanted to)
(I could never compare to you)

There Was a Time
03:57

There was a time
When the world was a stage
Now I have to tell you all the things that you should have known a long time ago
Now its on the table
I can tell that you're just as bored as me
It's not a question of decisions but a set of admissions to society
Because they know
Nothings free
Because they know
What it's like to be
Let off the ride
You would take me off to the side
And something went and caught my eye
It was you I'll make it right
(Huh)
Now it's on the postcards
All we ever talk about is us and them
If it was up to me you would surely see what's wrong with it
Because they know
Nothings free
Because they know
What it's like to be
Let off the ride
You would take me off to the side
And something went and caught my eye
It was you I'll make it right
And why should I have to do
All that you don't want me to
If you think about it it's the truth
I just want to be cool like you
Because they know
Nothings free
Because they know
What it's like to be
Let off the ride
You would take me off to the side
And something went and caught my eye
It was you I'll make it right
Let off the ride
You would take me off to the side
And something went and caught my eye
It was you I'll make it right
And why should I have to do
All that you don't want me to
If you think about it it's the truth
I just want to be cool like you

On the Line
02:56

Left alone
Can't complain
It's all part of the process
Maybe I'm just not meant to see what perfection looks like
Oh no
Speed freaks out the sanest of minds
When the're running out of time
Maybe it's best left on the line but it's a matter of pride
Never made it happen
That's just the way you wrap it
Never made it happen
That's just the way you wrap it
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh

Figure it Out (I Never)
03:27
|
|||
|
Why can't I ever think about coming to
The long road we're on
It twists far and long
Why can't I ever ask a question of you
There's no reason in my brain
It's driving me insane
I never tried
I never tried to figure it out
I'd never lie down dead
I don't know what you're talking about
Maybe it's the way you see yourself
As an iceberg by yourself
Maybe it's time to tell the world what you want to do
Maybe it's the way you see yourself
As an iceberg by yourself
Maybe it's time to tell the world what you want to do
These situations you make up never go well
'Cause all of a sudden you were right about me and you're about to let it show
I'm going to say some words that you don't want to hear
Whispers in your ear
Things are coming clear
I never tried
I never tried to figure it out
I'd never lie down dead
I don't know what you're talking about
It's the things you do
That no one would ever try
But no one would blink an eye at you
And I don't know why
Maybe it's the way you see yourself
As an iceberg by yourself
Maybe it's time to tell the world what you want to do
Maybe it's the way you see yourself
As an iceberg by yourself
Maybe it's time to tell the world what you want to do
Ba ba badadada

So High
04:17
|

It always seems like a start
But it's just like the last part
Oh I've decided to check up on you
It always seemed so hard to part
Until you went and broke my heart
What am I trying to tell you
I don't know
'Cause when I'm in the thick of things
My mind tends to wander to you
'Cause when I'm in the thick of things
There is not much else to do
You're so high you couldn't die
As you wish the world away
Tell me why you said goodbye
I just want to hear you say it to me
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
Maybe I'm the one who falls apart
Better than slowly torn
Apart of me just can't believe
What you'd do
It was always you who pulled the strings
I could have guessed all these things
But what's the fun in that
I sure don't see any here
'Cause when I'm in the thick of things
My mind tends to wander to you
'Cause when I'm in the thick of things
There is not much else to do
You're so high you couldn't die
As you wish the world away
Tell me why you said goodbye
I just want to hear you say it to me
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
But wait
Where are you going
Wait
There's no moving
Wait
There's no moving on
Wait
Where are you going
Wait
There's no moving
Wait
There's no moving on
Because you're so high you couldn't die
As you wish the world away
Tell me why you said goodbye
I just want to hear you say it to me
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
Softly
Slowly
(I couldn't wait for a reply
No it was something in my eye
I couldn't wait for a reply)
