Angel 04:13
Nothing that I see is real It’s all floating unpredictable Reality became strange and I wanted to share it with you And there’s something in the air tonight And I’m walking back into the light And you’re on my mind That’s where I always find you Oh you’re on my mind Even when I’m not looking for you Is it safe to go outside I’ve been hiding for quite some time I don’t have to have a purpose I just wanna play Turn yourself back on Tell me how you’ve longed for me For me I should have seen it coming But there was an angel looking out for me Twisting and turning alone at night Is my baby awake I just want to reach out But will he take the bait But in the fading light It’s another inner fight It’s another lonely night without you But in the fading light It’s another inner fight It’s another lonely night without you Is it safe to go outside I’ve been hiding for quite some time I don’t have to have a purpose I just wanna play Turn yourself back on Tell me how you’ve longed for me Only I should have seen it coming But there was an angel looking out for me

Shelter 03:17
Underneath the armour that I wear There’s something sweet and full of care In the morning picking flowers In my head I was giving them to you You showed me things I’ve only seen in dreams And there’s something magic about this whole thing Open your door and let the air in Nothing’s set in stone my love but you can’t change everything I’d forgotten how to pray It can be so hopeful to give in that way I was chasing ghosts into dark alleys I wasn’t making the most of everything surrounding me Gonna take shelter Gonna run for cover yeah With only myself looking out for me I’m done seeing what everyone else sees in me I just have to feel it for myself I’m done putting everyone in front of me yeah I just have to look out for myself

Open My Door 02:33
I used to open my door to pretty much anyone who was trying to look for a place to feel safe but I made my whole world safer for everyone but me so I took my bones and I called them my own and I found a place inside that’s safe for me and now I wander the world alone but alive and smiling on the inside I’m taking back all the pieces of me that were taken unwillingly I’m offering myself up to the heavens I’m ready to love what I’ve been given I’m getting back to my own rhythm it's such a new kind of living I’m picking myself up off the carpet I’m running my hands over my body I’m back on land welcome to your life, Alice I used to open my door to pretty much anyone who was trying to look for a place to feel safe but I made my whole world safer for everyone but me

Lose My Head 02:30
I don’t wanna lose my head just yet I haven’t even started coming I’m not ready to set my bet I don’t want to be any more involved than I am Do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna stay Do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna go away Do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna play Do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna do you wanna go away Come over here Don’t miss this chance Oh, life’s just sitting there But love isn’t always Come over here Don’t miss this chance Oh, life’s just sitting there But love isn’t always Come, come over here It’s worth it, it’s worth it It’s already there, it feels so perfect Come on, would you just ride with me You’ve earned it, you’ve earned it Come on, would you just shake with me We both deserve it
5.
Lately 03:30
I find it hard to let myself be Been trying far too hard to make you see What I’ve got going on So you can make your mind up If you show me your cards I’ll stop being the fool Cause lately it feels like I’m driving you crazy And I’m not sure that it’s the good kind Do you wanna let me in on what it feels like to look at me I wanna believe that I’m more than you seem to see Surely I could be so much more to you baby But lately I’ve been driving you crazy But will I always And sometimes I wonder how you speak of me When I’m not there And you can say whatever you please Do you say anything about how I make you feel Cause I’d love to know Cause lately it feels like I’m driving you crazy And I’m not sure that it’s the good kind Do you wanna let me in on what it feels like to look at me

Halo 02:54
I see the sunlight dripping it touches my skin Oh all the shapes and colours I’m swimming in The summer’s finally here and orange trees are smiling I’ve got my eyes to the sky the day is calling Couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face if I tried Don’t have a sense of purpose today I’m a little nervous But sometimes you have to find that sense of mission for yourself No one around to tell me what not to do No one to motivate me Oh how the wheel is turning Fortune is spinning round my halo And I don’t need anybody I’ll go out walking clear my head Haven’t done much talking since I landed in this funny heaven It’s a little lonely but I don’t mind I thought that I was escaping my reality But I took it along with me I thought that I was escaping my reality But I took it along with me

Shine 03:02
Isn’t it so lovely to be in each others dreams We’re in each others futures too Take me to a new home I’d like nothing more Than to make it with you Let’s go inside and close our door And stay in bed all morning I have had a vision of paradise And you’re playing the piano there A little boy with curly hair You take me in your arms with that look in your eyes That tells me that you’re coming to me Tells me that you’re staying That it’s not only a dream we’re in Tells me that we’re under no spell That this is just the way we feel This is just the way This is just the way we feel Seeing you in the morning light is a motivation It really gets me going It makes me wanna shine Makes me wanna be yours Makes me wanna be mine

Hammer 05:38
As I try to exist Without caring ‘bout the voices in my head, analysing You would know, your head gets full too I see it in the cloud that you carry We could go and try to build a life Without these worries bringing us down Just hold me close and be yourself I want it, I want it all I’m all I need but oh how I want you She’s looking back from the mirror With wide eyes, guilty Painting a picture Half the time I feel like mine And the other half is wrapped up in you I’m giving in, I’m checking out I’m on a mission and that mission concerns you I would like to wrap my world up with you Make our lives two times the sweeter It’s sweeter to be in your corner It’s never been any clearer Just wake me up in that way and nothing else matters I’m not afraid anymore like I was when you first looked at me that way I’m not afraid like I was the first time that you looked at me that way I didn’t know it yet But there was something in the words you said There was a motion in my heart And I didn’t see it coming But it was coming for so long Now as it washes over me I can see how it took so long I’m standing at the altar and the world is singing at me And as I whisper to myself This is the moment and I’m melting into it Now’s all I need when moments with you are so infinite And there’s moments that take me higher help me see Here I go playing with fire but that’s just me Don’t bring me down bring me down I just wanna breathe easily Just lift me up lift me up So I can see more See over the walls that I built with my own hands I’ll get the hammer you put on the music And let’s break them down I’ll get the hammer you play the music And let’s dance

My Girl 03:10
My girl my girl my girl my girl my girl my girl It’s a man’s world my girl my girl my girl We gotta poke it, haunt it, stir it and flaunt it As the dirt falls from the mouths of hounds That bite as you fight for your body to be nobody’s but yours Your body’s nobody’s but yours Sharpen your claws my girl Learn to love your flaws my girl Don’t listen to the laws that make you feel small We’re a waterfall and we fall and we fall and we fall But I’d rather fall than never try at all Take with you the bravest moves Of soothsayers, bridgemakers, world shakers Cause I’m shaking But let’s shake together Let’s shake as one And when we stop shaking A new world’s begun Shake for my baby, shake for me I wanna see you shaking Heave for me honey, let’s heave before you’re leaving I wanna watch your heart beating Dream for my sunny, if there’s anything worth dreaming I’ll tell you all the meanings Tell you all the meanings But let’s shake together Let’s shake as one And when we stop shaking A new world’s begun A new world’s begun My girl my girl my girl my girl my girl my girl
