01. Same Direction - Lyrics:
Whenever I step outside
Somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience
Cause everyone thinks they're right
And nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination
But I'm not ever gonna know if I'm right or wrong
Cause we're all going in the same direction
And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along, we've been going in the same direction
I'm tired of playing games
Of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
For something to fill the space
Was all of the time I spent a waste
Cause so many choices point the same way I was going
But I'm not ever gonna know if I'm right or wrong
Cause we're all going in the same direction
And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along, we've been going in the same direction
Going in the same direction
Same direction (same direction)
So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't wanna go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can
Go my own way and meet you in the end
Go my own way and meet you in the end
I'm not ever gonna know if I'm right or wrong
Cause we're all going in the same direction
And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along, we've been going in the same direction
Going in the same direction
Going in the same direction
Same direction (same direction).
02. Out Of Control - Lyrics:
I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me
I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all alone I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But infact that's exactly what I was
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me
I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me
And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control.
03. What Happened To Us? - Lyrics:
I thought it was too good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me to get through
And fill an emptiness I had inside me
But you kept inside and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was too good to be true
Cause I'm the only one who understands me
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only?
Remember they thought we were too young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived off what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known
The lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were too young
We still don't know what it takes to make it
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only one?
We could've made it work
We could've found a way
We should've done our best to see another day
But we kept it all inside until it was too late
And now we're both alone
The consequence we pay for throwing it all away
For throwing it all away
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only?
What happened to us?
What happened to us?
What happened to us?
What happened to us?
04. Escape - Lyrics:
Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a hole, and we're searching for anything
To hold on to
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe
From the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away...
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape...
We could be living how we wanted to, (we wanted to)
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going through
What they went through
There has to be some place that nobody knows, (nobody knows)
Somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone...
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
Oh, together everyday...
Oh yeah...
We have to escape... (escape)
We have to escape... (escape)
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape, (escape) and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place (escape) where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape...
05. Just One - Lyrics:
I wanna live, I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go, I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show, gotta say
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know if they got away
My opportunities
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
I need to think, I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place, I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give, gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I am awake
I'm gonna push, I'm gonna pull, open up the door
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
And if I knew when the door was open, I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say, when I do I'll never be the same
Never be the same
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one
(Just one) I'll take the chance if I can have it
(Just one) I'll take the chance if I can have it
(Just one) Yes, I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one.
06. Lucky - Lyrics:
I knew how it felt to be another one in need
Of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else could see
And my life hasn't been the same
You make me feel lucky as I can be
You make me feel lucky as I can be
Before I couldn't get a break
Never had a chance to make the impressions I want to
But now it falls right into place
When I get to see your face
Then there's nothing that I can't do
You make me feel lucky as I can be
You make me feel lucky as I can be
No more dark days, only sun rays
No more hard ways with you today
You make me feel
You make me feel lucky as I can be
Lucky as I can be
Lucky as I can be.
07. From The Heart - Lyrics:
There was a time when our dreams felt so real
Just out of reach but not too far to feel
Together we'd finally make then come true
Cause anything's possible when I was with you
But they kept on saying we'd never amount to anything
All of the dreams we've built up from the ground
They never believed them, they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start
We will rebuild them from the heart
Cause once all we wanted seemed so far away
But with every step, it was closer each day
The more that we tried it was within our grasp
The more that they told us that it wouldn't last
And everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything
All of the dreams we've built up from the ground
They never believed them, they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start
We will rebuild them from the heart
From the heart
From the heart
From the heart
All of the dreams we've built up from the ground
They never believed them, they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start
We will rebuild them from the heart
All of the dreams we've built up from the ground
They never believed them, they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start
We will rebuild them from the heart
From the heart
From the heart.
08. The Reason - Lyrics:
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you.
09. Let It Out - Lyrics:
This is ours
We made it with our everything
Something real
As real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself
I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself for everyone to see
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
Go ahead
You know just what you wanna do
Don't deny
You feel it 'cause I feel it too
Take a look all around
You feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground
I feel it everywhere
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
If you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
This is ours
We made it with our everything
Something real
As real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself
I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself for everyone to see
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
If you don't like it.
10. Unaffected - Lyrics:
There never seems to be
Because what I believe
A moment I'm not trying
To show them who I am
Why can't they understand
The things that they're denying
They're denying
So what should I do
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected
A chance they'd never give
To ever want to live
The life that I am made of
There's nothing left to prove
My heart's forever true
What is it they're afraid of
Afraid of
So what should I do
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected
Before they even saw my face
They knew that I was not the same
And decided I was not the one for you
For you
So what should I do
I'm not unaffected
And who should I be
I'm not unaffected
So what should I do
Just lay next to you
As though I'm unaffected
And who should I be
When they're judging me
As though I'm unaffected
Unaffected, unaffected
Unaffected, unaffected.
11. Never There - Lyrics:
I'm filling up inside
Like I need to open wide
And pour my heart out to you
But I'll just get denied
And all I wanted was someone to hear
What I'm going through
Everytime that I need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You were supposed to see
All the signs I left to read
In front of your face
You were supposed to be
The closest thing to being me
But you're the furthest away
That's because
Everytime that I need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You're never there
You're never there
And I doubt
That I will ever find out
If there's a way to get out
Of feeling all alone
Cause latley
I've been thinking maybe
That no one's going to save me
I'll do it on my own
On my own, on my own
Everytime that I need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You're never there
You're never there.
12. Disappear - Lyrics:
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me
Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away?
So can you come and make them disappear?
Make them disappear and we can stay
So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the person
The person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away?
So can you come and make them disappear?
Make them disappear and we can stay
Can you make them disappear?
Make them disappear
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Gonna search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the person
The person that I need
Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away?
So can you come and make them disappear?
Make them disappear and we can stay.
