DREAMS AND DISASTERS

We were alone on the road driving fasterSo far from home, we were chasing disasterHard on the gas till the car caught on fireWe had to laugh as the smoke billowed higher

I wanna feel alive forever afterAnd you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever afterAnd I, and I, and I say

Follow the light through the dreams and disastersFollow the light to the edge and the afterWe won’t turn around, we will not slow downFollow the light through the dreams and disasters

Sting of the sun and the sound of it rising

Still on the run with our eyes on the horizon

SHOOTING STAR

Close your tired eyes, relax and thenCount from one to ten and open themAll these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you downBut not this timeWay up in the air, you’re finally freeAnd you can stay up there, right next to meAll this gravity will try to pull you downBut not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn outThen it’s time for you to shine brighter than a shooting starSo shine no matter where you areFill the darkest night with a brilliant light‘Cause it’s time for you to shine brighter than a shooting starSo shine no matter where you are tonight

Gaze into my eyes when the fire startsAnd fan the flames so hot it melts our heartsOh the pouring rain will try to put it outBut not this timeLet your colors burn and brightly burstInto a million sparks that all disperseAnd illuminate a world that’ll try to bring you downBut not this time

A thousand heartbeats beat in timeAnd makes this dark planet come aliveSo when the lights flicker out tonightYou gotta shine

GOLD

Stand on up and take a bowThere’s something there and it’s showingThere’s no need to look aroundYou’re the best we got going

Shout out to the dreams you’ll chaseShout out to the hearts you’ll breakNothing’s gonna stop you nowI guess you better be going

You’ll never be farI’m keeping you nearInside of my heartYou’re hereGo onIt’s gotta be timeYou’re starting to shine

‘Cause what you got is

GoldI know you’re gold Oh, I know, I knowI don’t need the stars in the nightI found my treasureAll I need is you by my sideSo shine foreverGoldI know you’re goldOh, I know you’re gold

It won’t take you long to getWhen you feel like you’re soaringSo write it all and don’t forgetYou gotta tell us your storyShout out to the friends back homeShout out to the hearts you’ve knownYou gave em nothing but the bestYeah and you can tell em your story

DEMENTIA

Every light in the night flickered in and outEvery bone in my back shivered up and downKeep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazyEvery voice in my head shouted yes and noEvery freight train of thought fought to stop and goKeep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy

Big surprise, I’m a ghost keeping out of sightRub your eyes, you’re a star in the summer nightThis is love, this is war, it’s insanityDementia, you’re driving me crazy

Every tear in my eyes dripped and wouldn’t dropEvery disc in my spine shook and couldn’t stopKeep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazyEvery hand let me go that I tried to holdEvery warmhearted love left me freezing coldKeep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy

Through the skies you’re en route at the speed of lightSo realize there’s chaos in the air tonightThis is love, this is war, this is pure insanityDementia, you’re driving me crazy

I’M COMING AFTER YOU

I saw your face in a criminal sketchDon’t be alarmed ‘cause you don’t know me yetI’m on the prowl now sniffing around this town for youCalling all cars, there’s an officer downShot to the heart on a night on the townAnd the evidence of your fingerprints was found And now

You got the right to remain right here with meI’m on your tail in a hot pursuitLove is a high speed chase racing down the streetWoo woo woo, I’m coming after you

Oh no here we go once againWe both know you’ll never turn yourself inSo I’m driving till it’s light out, searching for your hideout Pick up the pace as I chase you aroundOne of these days I’ll end up tracking you downBut yeah, I got the feeling I’ll be letting you loose when I do Because you

SPEED OF LOVE

I tried to disappearBut you’re the only reason I’m floating hereEyes painted crystal clearI can see our future through the atmosphereDon’t you go, no don’t you goDon’t you know, I’m up here aloneYeah I am like a satelliteSending you a signal tonight

Oh oh oh, like a streak of lightOh oh oh, watch the world fly byOh oh oh, rev your engine upEverybody’s racing at the speed of love

You were so hard to findWith oh so many clouds across my summer skyYou, my constellation prizeYeah every single star is sparkling in your eyesSo don’t you go, no don’t you go‘Cause don’t you know, I’m up here aloneSo high, like a satelliteI’m sending you a signal tonight

One track, one mind, one race to winOne start, one heart, one life to live


GOOD TIME

Woke up on the right side of the bedWhat’s up with this Prince song inside my headHands up if you’re down to get down tonight‘Cause it’s always a good timeSlept in all my clothes like I didn’t careHopped into a cab, take me anywhereI’m in if you’re down to get down tonight‘Cause it’s always a good time

Good morning and goodnightI’ll wake up at twilightIt’s gonna be alrightWe don’t even have to tryIt’s always a good time

Woah oh oh ohWoah it’s always a good timeWoah oh oh ohWe don’t even have to tryIt’s always a good time

Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool againChecked out of my room, hit the ATMLet’s hang out if you’re down to get down tonight‘Cause it’s always a good time

Doesn’t matter when, it’s always a good time thenDoesn’t matter where, it’s always a good time thereDoesn’t matter when, it’s always a good time thenIt’s always a good time

EMBERS

There were days when each hour was a war I fought to surviveThere were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyesThere were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me aliveBut the world took a spark like a match in the darkAnd the fire brought me to life

So I’m fanning the flames to climb so high‘Cause there’s no other way we can stay alive

‘Cause we’re burning bright as we all uniteAnd when it’s all said and done, we’ll shine like the sunSo don’t let the fire dieAnd we’ll watch the sky as it fills with lightAnd though the embers are new, whatever you doJust don’t let the fire die

And you find they’ll be mornings when the ashes and embers are coldBut you’ll fight with a passion and you’ll never stop ‘cause you knowYeah you know, it gets better and your story is yet to be toldEvery push, every shove, every war, every loveYeah, the coals are beginning to glow

SILHOUETTE

I’m tired of waking up in tears‘Cause I can’t put to bed these phobias and fearsI’m new to this grief I can’t explainBut I’m no stranger to the heartache and the pain

The fire I began is burning me aliveBut I know better than to leave and let it die

I’m a silhouetteAsking every now and thenIs it over yet?Will I ever feel again?I’m a silhouetteChasing rainbows on my ownBut the more I try to move onThe more I feel aloneSo I watch the summer stars to lead me home

I’m sick of the past I can’t erase A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can’t retraceThe mountain of things I still regretIs a vile reminder that I would rather just forgetNo matter where I go

I’m a silhouetteAsking every now and thenIs it over yet?Will I ever smile again?I’m a silhouetteChasing rainbows on my ownBut the more I try to move onThe more I feel aloneSo I watch the summer stars to lead me home

METROPOLIS

Oh oh, I can’t even take it inOh oh, I can’t even take it inOh oh, I left my heart in Metropolis

So far apart, I checked but the coast was clearI feel like a postcard, I wish you were hereSubway through the darkCarriage through the parkTaxi down the streetGet out and use my feetDon’t matter much to meWhat it is that I doAs long as I’m coming home to you

Oh oh oh, as far as I can seeYou’re the only one, the only one who can get to meLike a hijacked planeOr a runaway trainOr a speeding bullet

There’s no stopping thisI left my heart in Metropolis

A thousand miles feels like a million yearsLike hundreds of postcards that say I wish you were hereAirplane through the skyGreyhound racing byDirt bike on the beachSailboat on the seaDon’t matter much to meWhat it is that I doAs long as I’m coming home to you

TAKE IT ALL AWAY

There was a shot in the dark, I was caught by surpriseThere was a hole in my heart, there were tears in your eyesAnd there was nothing to say ‘cause you made up your mindAnd so I guess what you meant when you left was goodbye

So if you’re gonna go and leave me in a lonely gray I won’t let it show until you’ve finally flown awayYou gotta know that

You tear me up when you say You wanna take it all away, take it all awayYou tear me up when you say You wanna take it all away, take it all awayYou were the one and it was enoughTo be the one you were dreaming ofYou were the one and we called it loveAnd now you take it all away, take it all away

I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheekAnd as I tried to digest the words I couldn’t believeI’m left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeveMaking it easy to hurt and even harder to breathe
