Good Intentions Am I just a dreamer Even more when I’m awake Am I just dreaming That I give more than I take Are you a believer Or do you nod and shake your head Knowing damn well what I said Probably won’t happen that way Are you sitting round Waiting for me To grab the horse by the reins But I’m too scared of everything Are you sitting round Waiting for me To finally do what I say What do I say? I’m not liar I have good intentions My mind, it struggles With some slight imperfections My feet sort of drag When I walk And all my mouth likes to do Is talk, talk, talk Won’t you give it to me Am I dreamer Even more than just at night Yeah I’m always dreaming That I’m gonna make it big alright Do you believe me When I say that I’m gonna Bring it down right here Gonna walk like I talk Bring it here to this spot Let everybody know how I feel Are you sitting round Waiting for me To grab the horse by the reins But I’m too scared of everything Are you sitting round Waiting for me To finally do what I say What do I say? I’m not liar I have good intentions My mind, it struggles With some slight imperfections My feet sort of drag When I walk And all my mouth likes to do Is talk, talk, talk Won’t you give it to me Let me talk, talk, talk Let me dream baby I’m making my moves Wanna hear your scream ladies Let me talk, talk, talk Let me dream, honey I’m making my moves I’m making my moves Are you sitting round Waiting for me To grab the horse by the reins But I’m too scared of everything Are you sitting round Waiting for me To finally do what I say What do I say? I’m not liar I have good intentions My mind, it struggles With some slight imperfections My feet sort of drag When I walk And all my mouth likes to do Is talk, talk, talk Won’t you give it to me Won’t you give it to me

Listen Give me time And give me company Cheap box wine And a spot on the couch Give me an hour And I will soak it all in I’ll drive for miles Until there’s no road left Listen to me Cause I’m about to speak Is that okay with you my friend? I’ve something to say Before you walk away So please stop now before I forget Should I run Can I hide? The monsters from your brain Is one thing I can not provide Yeah I know, just how you’re feeling I’m just trying to help, I can’t do this by myself Yeah I know, that this is where they reside But you won’t take me alive So, listen to me Cause I’m about to speak Is that okay with you my friend? I’ve something to say Before you walk away So please stop now before I forget I am no Superman, no I am afraid of myself Call me the joker baby, because I am no good for your health I am no hero honey I know exactly who I am I keep my demons inside Not knowing what you may find Don’t you know? Don’t you know? Can you hear me? Listen to me Cause I’m about to speak Is that okay with you my friend? I’ve something to say Before you walk away So please stop now before I forget Listen to me Cause I’m about to speak Is that okay with you my friend? I’ve something to say Before you walk away So please stop now before I forget

American Dreams I think it’s time to say goodbye to my American Dreams You know they say I’m much too young to even know what that means My motivation, it seems to run out with my cup If you want me to stay, don’t look the other way, come on fill it up I think it’s time to hit the road, tell me where you wanna go Oh well I say anywhere but here, yeah that’s all I really know My situation, is that I’m worn out, and a little screwed up Shots out in the dark, trying to light a spark, but I think I blew it up Oh, so when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Yeah don’t you know that it’s a long way back From where I’m trying to be I think we’ve gotta run away, tell me where you wanna stay Oh,because this place is all messed up and it’s never gonna change My inspiration, seems to run out, when the skies aren’t blue The clouds are rolling in, let’s take off like the wind, before it makes a mess of you Oh, so when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Don’t you know that it’s a long way back From where I’m trying to be Yeah when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Yeah don’t you know that I bleed, oh Yeah when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Yeah don’t you know that I bleed, oh So when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Yeah don’t you know that it’s a long way back From where I’m trying to be So when you tell me that I’m whining, whining Can’t you see that I am trying, trying Yeah don’t you know that it’s a long way back From where I’m trying to be

Butterflies A little blood Is dripping from your fingertips Lipstick smeared upon your lips And you’re calling me an alibi Is this a war? Can you tell me what we’re fighting for Got badges knocking at my door And they’re giving me butterflies You’re telling me to hide it, hide it And I’m telling you to fight it Because that’s what friends are for Bandaids cover the wounds Tell me do you think that they heal them too? Or is it just a cover up, cover up Are you just looking for a cover up, cover up Sweat I can feel the kettle boiling inside Spitting lava out as we ride The waves of emotion Is this a war? Can you tell me what we’re fighting for Got badges knocking at my door And they’re giving me butterflies You’re telling me to hide it, hide it And I’m telling you to fight it Because that’s what friends are for Bandaids cover the wounds Tell me do you think that they heal them too? Or is it just a cover up, cover up Are you just looking for a cover up, cover up Fly (x4) Bandaids cover the wounds Tell me do you think that they heal them too? Or is it just a cover up, cover up Are you just looking for a cover up, cover up

Just For The Night Falling I’ve got this pretty lady calling Maybe it’s time for me to let go I can feel it like an echo in my mind Tonight Yeah, I guess I’m feeling alright Should I give this one a chance Take her to the floor to dance, the night, away Did you slip something in my drink Cause I’m wrapped around your finger And all these words that you whisper in my ear I wanna let it linger And I can tell you anything you wanna hear That you haven’t heard I think I love you, that’s absurd Got me hanging on every word Am I just sentimental Or am I just lonely Can you hold me anyways Hold me anyways Are you feeling feisty Or are you trying to get back at me Could you hold me anyways Hold me anyways Even if just for the night Call back I need for you to cut me some slack Sometimes I get a little wild I get confused just like a child, at times Today Can you meet me in the same place So can we do it all again Maybe we can be more than friends Did you slip something in my drink Cause I’m wrapped around your finger And all these words that you whisper in my ear I wanna let it linger And I can tell you anything you wanna hear That you haven’t heard I think I love you, that’s absurd Got me hanging on every word Am I just sentimental, Or am I just lonely Can you hold me anyways Hold me anyways Are you just feeling feisty Or are you trying to play hard to get Could you hold me anyways Hold me anyways Even if just for the night Even if just for the night Oh, even if just for the night

Runaway When I was a boy, I said I’m gonna be a king Gonna play in an old blues band Down in New Orleans I was told by a preacher there I need to bite my tongue But daddy raised a broken boy My mind was much too young Oh no I gotta let go There’s nothing I could say To make me wanna stay Runaway What can I say Runaway What can I say All along the road I ran Following the stars Fueled by my adrenaline Whiskey and cheap cigars Everyday I’d laugh and pray Hoping for one chance For you to hear this song and sing along And give me one last dance Oh no I gotta let go There’s nothing I could say To make me wanna stay Runaway What can I say Runaway What can I say What do you want from me? (x7) Oh no I gotta let go There’s nothing I could say To make me wanna stay Runaway What can I say Runaway What can I say

Where Lovers Go To Die You steady your hands with a cold cup of chamomile Your eyes are stone and your lips they never seems to smile You seem find yourself in a place Where lovers go to die Your lungs they scream for a breath above the surface Of the water that’s engulfed you, drowning your purpose You seem to find yourself, in a place where lovers go to die Are you at ease, appeased with your leftover shares Are you so naive, to believe, that we, would only crumble everywhere Let me walk into your room lit by candlelight Hold your fingers in my own until the sun breaks up night We’ll find peace in our own loneliness, lying side by side Is this the place where lovers go to die A bitter cold, sweeps into your windowpane A haunting voice, well it tells you, you’re the one to blame For always wandering, to the place, where lovers go to die Are you at ease, appeased with your leftover shares Are you so naive, that we would only crumble everywhere Let me walk into your room lit by candlelight Hold your fingers in my own until the sun breaks up night We’ll find peace in our own loneliness, lying side by side Is this the place where lovers go to die Where lovers go to die Where lovers go to die Where lovers go to die Die (x4)
