Set It Off 03:05
lyrics

I feel like giving up sometimes I find myself just asking Why I’m cursed with words From a story yet unheard We live this dream On second chances It’s worth a shot Or just stay stranded Sat here with a rhyme That just needs reason I won’t take this lightly With every chance we’re given I won’t take this lightly For every story untold I don’t know How to do much else I won’t take this lightly We’ll spark the match to Set it off Give me the chance I’d do it all again Stick with and don’t Give in to words of doubt Have the guts To sing out loud With cheap guitars And worn out backlines Fall off stage and Jump back laughing All to set it off And share Our reason I won’t take this lightly With every chance we’re given I won’t take this lightly For every story untold I don’t know How to do much else I won’t take this lightly We’ll spark the match to Set it off All this time I know that I never Really stopped and I’ll Take it all on If you let me Take my hand Journeys no good To walk alone I will share with you If you let me If you let me I won’t take this lightly With every chance we’re given I won’t take this lightly For every story untold I don’t know How to do much else I won’t take this lightly We’ll spark the match to Set it off I won’t take this lightly With every chance we’re given I won’t take this lightly For every story untold I don’t know How to do much else I won’t take this lightly We’ll spark the match to Set it off We’ll spark the match to Set it off We’ll spark the match to Set it off

Fade 03:36
lyrics

I wake up alone Never wondering where to go I step outside Once more The sun is bearing down Slightest breeze of summers air I smile Walk on Alone The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day I sit here and wait And just take it in For all the opportunities we miss Just make way for more to exist The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day I walk along the shore I feel the sand between my toes It's warm It's home I hear The waves they lap the beach Cooling off this summers heat The smell The spray I'm home The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day I sit here and wait And just take it in For all the opportunities we miss Just make way for more to exist The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day I know I've been here a long time Stuck with What is obvious Though still misleading Spoken words whilst barely hearing Well I may be here a long time Stuck with What's expected of rarely delivered What I've offered up should be considered The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day I sit here and wait And just take it in For all the opportunities we miss Just make way for more to exist The sun begins to fade To take the light out of this day Well I may be here a long time

Connected 03:47

As I watched you from Say afar Just like I always do And this song can be About how my Say my mind is made up Well I'll be the one that you don't see Till I can weep you off your feet Whoa oh whoa oh I'll wait in line I'm standing by Just biding time till you are mine Whoa oh whoa oh Now here I stand connected To watch another fool rejected Standing on my vantage point Oh on top Of this hide and seek I'll be Waiting for you and me Connected We'll enter day two When the sun meets the sky When it is so hot And burning down And I'll be watching you again When I'm tiered of waiting Well excuse me can I have the time Just to stand by you I'd stand in line Whoa oh whoa oh Now take my hand I can't believe Your shining eyes they excite me Whoa oh whoa oh Now here I stand connected To watch another fool rejected Standing on my vantage point Oh on top Of this hide and seek I'll be Waiting for you and me Connected Whoa oh Whoa oh Now here we stand connected To watch another fool rejected Standing on our vantage point Oh on top Of this feeling we shall be You and me Together connected Here we stand connected Where only time Can lay this day All to rest to start All over again Connected

The Ice Is Too Thick 03:53
lyrics
buy track
For seven years I’ve known you Unravelling the truth Insecurities from youth Do you know the way I see you Is deception holding firm Or did you sense a turn I'm so nervous I feel sick The ice is too thick How can I hold onto this secret It's all or nothing versus regret I've seen the growing change in you The healed and hidden parts Cause now you've won my heart The truth is that I'm really scared Of the bond that we could break There are some smiles I can't fake I’m so nervous I feel sick The ice is too thick How can I hold onto this secret It's all or nothing versus regret I start to freeze It's barely twenty degrees Trying to tell you all But none of the words fall I’m so nervous I feel sick The ice is too thick How can I hold onto this secret It's all or nothing versus regret

As we start to figure out How to move Our mindset To suit these feelings With broken ice We realise We can try this again Forgive me for I'll forgive you for Fumbling through All these words You watch me fall Can we we try this again Can we try Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again As this rolls On on and on on and on As this rolls On on and on on and on How do I express myself With words so imperfect They stunt my feelings Conveyed with a silent smile Can we try this again Forgive me for I'll forgive you for Stuttering through Hesitated words I fall Can we try this again Can we try Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again As this rolls On on and on on and on As this rolls On on and on on and on As this rolls On on and on on and on As this rolls On on and on on and on I'll forgive for I'll forgive for Can we try this again We can try this again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again Can we try this again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again Can we try this again Let's stop What is this awkward for Can we Can we try this Again So can we try this Again

Watch As we stand here Like so many times before We Retrace These footsteps That bring us back here To your door It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say goodnight It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say goodnight Breathe softly And in whispers Hidden by your shaking voice Please stay I know it It is time to make Our leap of faith It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say goodnight It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say goodnight It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say goodnight It's those feelings inside You know the one's you can't hide That make me wanna stay tonight So don't say Goodnight

I may never open up But I am aware Of what goes on around me I am here constantly But if you need your Time and space I’ll wait for you It's what it does to you I see it Its what it means to you I feel it Now you can take my hand I mean it It's not alright To be made to feel alone And it's not right To be anxious and scared And it's OK To vent out all your anger on Still I will see you on The other side Well I know these times are hard I am aware So we need to stick together And if you need Anything from me I won't be far I'm here for you When you open up I'll hear you When you ask for me I'll be true Now you can take my hand I'm with you It's not alright To be made to feel alone And it's not right To be anxious and scared And it's Ok To vent out all your anger on Still I will see you on The other side See you on The other side Still I will see you on The other side

You Care 03:51

Well I can tell that this Should not be our lives And I don’t want to see no pain in your eyes Let’s make this real Go with how we feel So we break these chains And make it out alive This is the adventure of our lives No plans no destination set Just cut all ties and run away It’s now or never Well I just need to know you care Well I just need to know that if we do this you'll be there Well I just need to know you care Well I just need to know that if we do this you'll be there Put the concrete world To the back of our minds As I see the glow of sunset in your eyes With air so fresh The trees so tall Let’s put down our roots Embrace the life found This is the adventure of our lives No plans no destination set Just cut all ties and run away It’s now or never Well I just need to know you care Well I just need to know that if we do this you'll be there Well I just need to know you care Well I just need to know that if we do this you'll be there The stream it always flows with ease The freshest air will help breathe We’re home now Once lost but now found Let our fire burn out at night whilst we watch for shooting stars We’re free now We’re free I just need to know you care

Saved By Summer 03:44
lyrics

A time when frost has faded An echo and A story Told This warmth dissolves the season Defined by only Ruthless cold Been counting days on numbing fingers Trapped inside this frozen hell After months of ice The sun came I’m saved by summers healing spell The mid year season to hit refresh Bury grudges Heal old scars Jaded hearts turned optimistic Reinvented Raising bars The coarse and callous Disappearing Renewed skin from Knuckles worn I've suffered months of ice Now saved by summer And I’ll savour the warm Savour the warm No I never gave up I never gave in I’d never let this be the end And if I go down I will be fighting Savour the warm No I never gave up I never gave in I’d never let this be the end And if I go down I will be fighting Savour the warm The warm revival of my skin Mirrored by the change within As the sun breaks through The cloud and wind This victorious win Between these giant Walls of ice Through the darkness of Those nights I will stand alone With my head held high And conviction drawn

Falling Apart 03:46
lyrics

We'd watch it all go down in flames Just to brag that we were part of this today And we fight to blame Never except the part we played As we stand against each other And we drive home the pain I can't bare to see it I can't bare to hear it Seems to me this world is Falling apart I see it on the tv screens And in everything I read Seems to me this world is Falling apart Step outside your front door now Does it feel the same it don't to me no more And as I stare Another poster catch my eye Another word I hear Opinion stated Makes me turn away I can't bare to see it I can't bare to hear it Seems to me this world is Falling apart I see it on the tv screens And in everything I read Seems to me this world is Falling apart Is there nothing left to fight for As we gave it all away Wanted to be with you Wanted to just hear you wanted to just make through one day Wanted to understand But don't want to be around Just want to flee this town Before it goes down If I see it And I hear it How can we deny what is really happening Believe it Just see it The truth will make you walk away The truth will make you walk away I can't bare to see it I can't bare to hear it Seems to me this world is Falling apart I see it on the tv screens And in everything I read Seems to me this world is Falling apart
