Change 01:20
CHANGE Change is all you know Change is all you seek for Everywhere around your belly button hole I’m not trying to pretend You’re being wrong or anything All I know is you’ve missed out on a great deal of great things By not being able to bare The smell of long-term relationships

No 03:10
NO She sees the clock and throws her head back The burning shot down her throat seals the night She thinks she’s fine Tipsy but fine She puts her jacket on and heads outside She hates to wait for a cab so she will drive Only this time Only this time She won’t get pulled over if she takes it slow She knows all the backstreets on the way home But there’s something in the back of her mind that just says no When she inserted the key into the door She heard a siren tear the background noise Her blood ran cold It could be a sign How come was it such a big deal? She just needed the car in the morning Deep inside She knew it’s not right No one really knows if she drove or not But the word on the street is the key was still in the lock And she’s been standing there on the sidewalk for fifteen years And by fear of getting tangled up inside Before hesitation gets me paralyzed I just listen to the voice in the back of my mind when it just says no

Cold Country 04:29
COLD COUNTRY Fifty rays of warm joy hit the ground And everybody wore a smile in town October came in as swift as a spy And summer left without saying goodbye Then all of a sudden fall gave us a chance As if begging for forgiveness for showing up in advance And if you came from a cold cold country you'd know how it feels Because when you come from a cold cold country… Yeah you come from a cold cold country… Fifty rays of warm joy punched me in the face And I’ll tell you that I gladly took the hit I was knocked unconscious at nearby a lake Then I woke up on the grass in a crowded place There was a collective thought in everybody’s head: ‘I’m happy it’s a beautiful day! Soon it’s gonna get cold; soon it’s gonna get bad But now there’s magic in the air, I’m gonna give my stressed out mind a break When we’re on the verge of losing something In a last hope effort we try to take it all in Winter weights like a thousand pounds to us That’s why we enjoy sunny days so much And if you came from a cold cold country you'd know what I mean Because when you come from a cold cold country you know how it feels

Boxes 04:50
BOXES I am moving out Into some other place I don’t know where I’m bound I don’t know where it is My boxes on the floor Wide open empty cases I think it’s safe to say That I don’t feel like it And it’s all because of you I spent too much time Questioning the ‘why’ and the ‘when’ This place was no longer fine It's now I realise that It was all because of you There used to be a light that shone It brightened each and every day But now half of its soul is gone And now I can’t see clear And it’s all because of you
5.
Good Start 03:33
GOOD START My mind’s been on a race these days Can’t catch it up because it’s gotten too far ahead I know the hundred miles that tear us apart No one can choose the path that takes one’s heart And it would have been easier to have a crush on the girl next door it’s true But she’s not you If we know chances are next week it could rain Should we start right now covering our head Are we meant to anticipate tomorrow’s pain And see the blue skies of today in shades of grey We had a good good start We’ll figure something out I don’t know exactly how we’ll do this But something tells me that we’re worth it Let’s take it day by day Let’s just give fate a chance

Concert 04:26
CONCERT In the silence of an empty room Memories of the previous night gloom. Already knowing that the gig failed It’s about to start I sit down on a tiny bench And I take out my working tool Once I've made sure every string is tuned The music begins And the words fly out of my mouth, and swiftly back to me I’d already be famous if the walls had ears But I thrive in keeping my focus as I give the best of me I live up to the challenge in bitter-sweet relief It’s a concert for no one And I need to keep my eyes shut Because I’m just being a jukebox No need for fancy moves on the stage Nobody stares Then it started affecting me Because what I play is who I am But my shell had grown weak And doubt sneaked in as I sang Who was I amongst the thousands all trying to survive All trying to turn a passion into a way to live their life That’s when a wall cracked open and started talking to me It said you shouldn’t bring yourself down cuz yes we DO have ears And other walls from other venues have been talking about you And I’ve been all excited ‘bout tonight to listen to your tunes So I think that I deserve to get the best of you Just like every night you’ll play no matter who sits in the room There ain’t no concert for no one

Home 01:58
HOME I made myself at home In your arms I made myself at home And I don’t want to move

Flight 975 04:04
FLIGHT 975 When the fourth engine broke down And the plane shot straight toward the ground Through the screams and the shouts The captain thought of his wife He said I’m really sorry dear For everything that went wrong For focusing on my career For not putting in anything To try to make it work at home When the left wing tore apart And the craft started spinning like a dart An old lady thought of her man She closed her eyes and said I’m really sorry I Cheated on you since we met I’ve never been able to tell So I’ve been living my whole life Feeling guilty as hell When the plane hit the ground In a bright flash and terrible sound There was, released in the air, A fume grey with regrets And the stars above could hear All the thoughts of the dead breaking free And their whispers were so sad That every star shed a tear Bright dots shooting in the dark For those alive to make a wish So they could change the years to come So they could put first on their list Taking care of their loved ones Take care of your loved ones

Johnny 03:36
JOHNNY On a cold dark Friday night Johnny walked into a tiny bar Pretty women in sight His warm Bourbon on the rocks Then a girl sat down and gave him a wink He judged it fair to buy her a drink They started chit-chattin’ For sure he didn’t know she wasn’t doing it for nothing She abused and it was quite clear But she told him what he wanted to hear And he paid all night long, gave her a ride home And she kissed him to seal the deal It’s not a file she had to work for Because she knew that he’d be back for more And she’d take from the man Everything she can then crush his heart with one hand She’s a sad sad part-time lover She’s a cold shameless heart breaker And it’ll get back to her: it’s meant to be She shut the door closed and took off her boots Thinking of a story that would sound true Made sure in the bathroom everything was cool Carefully washing off the smell of man's perfume She walked up the stairs into the dark Under the bedroom door she saw a light Her husband awake she’d have to play it smart A little cheeky surprise would chase any doubt But her heart stopped as she opened the door Another woman’s clothes were lying on the floor She saw her man freeze on top of someone Having sex in a position they had never done She felt so stupid watching the scene All at once everything became clear For years she thought she controlled the game with her lover But he was just as bad so she got what she deserved She’s a sad sad part-time lover She’s a cold shameless heartbreaker And it got back to her: it was meant to be

Snooze 04:53
SNOOZE Awoken out of deep sleep by ringing bells A hammering noise pounding my head I search my bed for a guilty howling tool And when I finally find my phone I hit snooze I treat myself with 5 more minutes in my bed And when it’s over and it rings I snooze again I feel like I just can’t stop extending the bliss Outside the boundaries of my mattress Nothing exists And that’s why I’m late: because I snooze too much And every day is the same and I miss the bus Because Instead I jump on the train that takes me to Slumber Land.

Bird 03:23
BIRD A tiny bird with a broken wing To mend it I’d do anything I’d even break one of mine I actually think I have from time to time It was like a pearl, I wanted to be its shell With every feather fixed, I fixed myself But there remained an uncertainty Would the bird ever jump off the tree? Tell me now Do you think it could work somehow Because it itches inside not to know Then time flew by, we built a nest I like it a lot, I must confess I crave its feel, I love its soul It’s such a rush so I kept on building Once I told the bird: ‘Just take a swing The wind is strong, as now are your wings I’ll fly just here, stationary Hoping my wings won’t give up on me
