FRODO 02:21
When you feel like giving up When all hope is lost When there's no one left around you And your friends are all gone So what do you do Yeah what do you say You just keep moving on and on and on and on Are you holding on forever Are you holding on You wait forever and a day It's a day that's too long When you feel like just giving up Don't! When the moments pass you by And you miss your chance And you haven't thought it through And you get knocked down So pick yourself up Yeah sort yourself out These memories drive you on and on and on and on Are you holding on forever Are you holding on You wait forever and a day It's a day that's too long When you feel like just giving up Don't! Are you holding on forever Are you holding on You wait forever and a day It's a day that's too long When you feel like just giving up Don't!

HAZEL EYES 01:28
Started not that long ago Met this girl about a month ago When I saw her smile, it just blew me a mile Dunno what came over me I didn’t even have to try at all Until I heard her say, that she wanted me that way And it’s you I need, to make it through the day And it's you I need, you take my breath away And as soon as I see those murky hazel eyes Well I know it will be just fine Late on in the afternoon I saw you from across the room I knew right then that we’d be together soon The way you looked back at me I knew it was meant to be You took my hand and the rest is history And it’s you I need, to make it through the day And it's you I need, you take my breath away And as soon as I see those murky hazel eyes Well I know it will be just fine Ahhhhh! And it’s you I need, to make it through the day And it's you I need, to take my breath away And as soon as I see those murky hazel eyes Well I know it will be I know it will be I know it will be just fine

JUST STAY 03:07
There were no warning signs that I could have seen before You caught me by surprise when you showed up at my door I didn't need to ask, when your hand was on my shoulder You couldn't look at, that's when I knew we were over You are heartless and broken Caught between you and the truth I've given you everything, you can take it from me You thought you'd hurt me babe, I'm not losing sleep How could I have been so wrong Yeah do me a favour Just Stay Gone! How could you do this to me, you left me brain dead We had a good thing going, turns out I've been mislead There are no second chances, I wouldn't even bother You should have thought about it, before you screwed me over You are heartless and broken Caught between you and the truth I've given you everything, you can take it from me You thought you'd hurt me babe, I'm not losing sleep How could I have been so wrong Yeah do me a favour Just Stay Gone! (What was I thinking) Everyday your poison gets But you know I'm addicted to the way (What was I thinking) You control me But not for much longer That when I knew we were over You are heartless and broken Caught between you and the truth I've given you everything, you can take it from me You thought you'd hurt me babe, I'm not losing sleep How could I have been so wrong Yeah do me a favour Just Stay Gone! Just Stay Gone!

NEXT TIME 03:21
Watching the backs of my eyelids fall Been losing sleep and I can't seem to find a way, to switch off my overdrive To make everything on my mind disappear, fade away to nothing Going round in circles nothing seems to be clear My face is numb, my senses dulled and nothing seems to work at all Throw that coin down the wishing well and wish for something Next time We'll get it right, next time We'll find a way Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day Next time We'll get it right, next time We'll find a way Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day Doesn't stop, feels like I'm being ignored I start again, I'm back to the drawing board I know we can make it, this time we'll go the whole nine yards You and me we're meant to be We'll never be just a memory Stick together nothing gets in the way I'll do it right, I'll take a knee, forget the past and just let it be Jump into it with both feet, let's make this happen Next time We'll get it right, next time We'll find a way Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day Next time We'll get it right, next time We'll find a way Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day Next time We'll get it right, next time We'll find a way Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day Next time We'll get it right (I'll get it right), next time We'll find a way (I'll find a way) Tomorrows mine for the taking So I'll leave the past for another day leave the past for another day yeah leave the past for another day yeah

NOT OK 04:03
I've got the radio on, so loud Just to drown it out, keeps my mind from wondering Though the thoughts are creeping in, and the sounds I'm hearing Aren't the ones from the stereo, there just in my head You said goodbye one too many times And I've fallen for that, but I don't know why I never thought you'd be my Greatest Enemy I've seen it all before, and I've had enough of it Coz everything you said never made no sense at all You said so long, and you took the very best of me It's not ok, coz you left the worst of you These stupid mindless games, keep tearing me apart The rhythms just the same, but the melody is not You've played this song too many times before And I'm sick of it sick of it, Whoa It feels like we're stuck on repeat and you're not listening to me So what are we fighting for now Coz I don't know I've seen it all before, and I've had enough of it Coz everything you said never made no sense at all You said so long, and took the very best of me It's not ok, coz you left the worst of you I've seen it all before, and I've had enough of it Coz everything you said never made no sense at all You said so long, and you took the very best of me It's not ok, coz you left the worst of you you left the worst of you you left the worst of you you left the worst of you

I've held my tongue for far too long, I've let everything slide With all that you've taken, I've still got my pride With missed opportunities and things that never were meant to be If I try to bite my tongue through this, avoid the agony When you wake up in the morning, wipe the sweat off of your face You keep asking yourself questions that you just don't want to make Well the years pass by, you wonder why the world has dealt this hand But the simple answer given, is we never stood a chance Slipping asleep it's not the same when the world was at your feet, a Whoa Falling to the floor and I can't take much more of this But there's something I relate too, mistakes that I have made It's too late to try I cannot choose to live or die But the choices that we're making, were tailored for you not I There's a time bomb tick tick ticking and it's just about to blow And with every passing second it gets closer to the O And if we check our vital signs for what there suppose to be Oh it would be so obvious that you were meant for me Slipping asleep it's not the same when the world was at your feet, a Whoa Falling to the floor and I can't take much more of this But there's something I relate too, mistakes that I have made It's too late to try I cannot choose to live or die But the choices that we're making, were tailored for you not I Slipping asleep it's not the same when the world was at your feet Falling to the floor and I can't take much more of this But there's something I relate too, mistakes that I have made It's too late to try I cannot choose to live or die But the choices that we're making, were tailored for you not I Not I Not I Not I

STAND UP 03:12
I’ll never fall in line, authority’s a waste of time Can we agree to disagree My neck is on the line, I should have seen the warning signs What will be will just have to be I know the ends in sight, I can see the finish line And then we’ll make our mark, we’ll tear this world apart Oh you, have, something you can do to help me To get me through We’ve fallen apart, but you and me’s worth fighting for your sides where I belong It's a shot in the dark, when everything has gone so right how can this be wrong Remember the time, when we were young and stupid we dreamed that we’d go far So stand up (STAND UP!) be counted when it counts because we are who we are And we are strong These pressures on my mind, they’re never leaving me behind It’s the last thing I wanted Keep spending most our lives, fighting for opposing sides But now I'm exhausted I'm standing at your door, we’ve both been here before Not gonna say good night, this time we’ll get it right Oh you, have, something you can do to help me To get me through Whoa We’ve fallen apart, but you and me’s worth fighting for your sides where I belong It's a shot in the dark, when everything has gone so right how can this be wrong Remember the time, when we were young and stupid we dreamed that we’d go far So stand up (STAND UP!) be counted when it counts because we are who we are And we are strong We’ve fallen apart, but you and me’s worth fighting for your sides where I belong It's a shot in the dark, when everything has gone so right how can this be wrong Remember the time, when we were young and stupid we dreamed that we’d go far So stand up (STAND UP!) be counted when it counts because we are who we are And we are strong

How do I know if it's time to do or die Dwell in self pity or do I search for the Paradise I've got nowhere else that I'd rather be I gotta know what it takes to satisfy me Got a one way ticket, do you want to go for a ride One shot don't miss it, You'll never know unless you try Let's run away, to another place Where nobody knows our faces, and nothings gonna hold us We'll run around with our heads held high Flap our wings until we take flight Nothings gonna hold us, No nothings gonna hold us down Do as you say, not as you do You've got the power just to look deep down inside of you Don't be the person staring at your feet Roll the dice, see what tomorrow can bring Got a one way ticket, do you want to go for a ride One shot don't miss it, You'll never know unless you try Let's run away, to another place Where nobody knows our faces, and nothings gonna hold us We'll run around with our heads held high Flap our wings until we take flight Nothings gonna hold us, No nothings gonna hold us down Let's run away, to another place Where nobody knows our faces, and nothings gonna hold us We'll run around with our heads held high Flap our wings until we take flight Nothings gonna hold us, No nothings gonna hold us down Let's run away, to another place Where nobody knows our faces, and nothings gonna hold us We'll run around with our heads held high Flap our wings until we take flight Nothings gonna hold us, No nothings gonna hold us down

SING ALONG 03:07
I can't remember a single word that you said And if I never saw you again would there be an empty space where you should reside Nothing's gonna break me no, no nothing's gonna take this away I don't know what's going through my brain but I never want this moment to end My memories failing, I don't know what I'm saying And I don't think I can figure it out So come on Sing Along, if you know the words I always forget, my mind is not what it was So sing with me, just let it all out I need a helping hand, so if you just shout it loud I'll write it all down. I wanna capture this moment in time, push all past mistakes, all bad regrets and memories Push it out of my head And if I get the opportunity, would I do it all over again I don't wanna be remembered for these things that I forgot My memories failing, I don't know what I'm saying And I don't think I can figure it out So come on Sing Along, if you know the words I always forget, my mind is not what it was So sing with me, just let it all out I need a helping hand, so if you just shout it loud I'll write it all down. My memories failing, I don't know what I'm saying And I don't think I can figure it out! Sing Along, if you know the words I always forget, my mind is not what it was So sing with me, just let it all out I need a helping hand, so if you just shout it loud I'll write it all down.
