Switch Off 04:48
Well I know a place Where no one else goes We all need that space Away from the noise It gets too distracting sometimes Well I need to clear my mind I need to switch off for a while With no distractions at all It’s the only place where I’m free So just leave me here alone Well I know I’m safe Whenever I’m here Just give it some time And you might feel the same Lately my head has been all over the place So it’s no surprise that I need to escape I need to switch off for a while With no distractions at all It’s the only place where I’m free So just leave me here alone When it takes a toll on me It’s so easy to pretend that I’m fine And that none of this is real None of this is real I need to switch off for a while With no distractions at all It’s the only place where I’m free So just leave me here alone credits

So Much More 05:03
Have I changed? Have I fallen in love? Or am I being too serious? Has this caught you by surprise? I thought by now you’d realise We make up our minds Time after time But no-one really understands If we were to disappear Then I know where we would go Cos there’s nothing for us here And I want something to show For all that we’ve been through I know that we deserve So much more What I was saying, 10 years ago Nothing’s changed, I’m sure that you know I can’t see how anyone would say this is normal 'Cos I know it’s rare to feel like this I’ve made up my mind Cos we’ve been wasting our time So lets just see this through If we were to disappear Then I know where we would go 'Cos there’s nothing for us here And I want something to show For all that we’ve been through I know that we deserve So much more So I’ve been told that they don’t even care That doesn’t change the way I feel If we were to disappear Then I know where we would go 'Cos there’s nothing for us here And I want something to show For all that we’ve been through I know that we deserve So much more

11:47 04:55
Tell me a story from when you were young Cos right now I’ve got nothing to say Talk to me for hours, that’s all that I want I’m hoping these thoughts will go away I’ve got a tendency to hold it all back I’m sorry that you’re my escape But when it all goes quiet I need you there to speak your mind Cos I can’t deal with things alone And when you know, you know 11:47 and nothings changed at all Three years and counting, it’s just further to fall I’ve heard it all before, but it was nothing, it was fake And now it really means something, it’s just hard for me to take Cos you know, it’s always been you Yeah you know, it’s always been you But when it all goes quiet I need you there to speak your mind Cos I can’t deal with things alone And when you know, you know Well it pains me to say that I’m not surprised I’ll just carry on and maybe someday I’ll understand But when it all goes quiet I need you there to speak your mind Cos I can’t deal with things alone And when you know, you know Tell me a story from when you were young Cos right now I’ve got nothing to say

Alive 04:44
Do you feel alive? Or is there doubt in your mind? The best part of you You keep to yourself Do you stay awake Comforted by the thought of The beginning and the middle of the end? You play this down You don’t make a sound So we live and we learn And nothing’s gonna stop us now And we make our mark We try not to mess things up again Do you think we’ve won? Have we had our fun? The best part of this Is that we just don’t know Do you feel safe now? Is this what you thought you would see? What you make of this Is what you take away So we live and we learn And nothing’s gonna stop us now And we make our mark We try not to mess things up again And you, can clearly see the light And my fate, will rest in your hands But the best things come to those who Wait So just sit back and enjoy this Beautiful day So we live and we learn (do you feel alive?) And nothing’s gonna stop us now (is there doubt in your mind?) And we make our mark (do you feel alive?) We try not to mess things up again (is there doubt in your mind?) So we live and we learn (do you feel alive?) And nothing’s gonna stop us now (is there doubt in your mind?) And we make our mark We try not to mess things up again Do you feel alive?

Stories 05:23
I don’t have to speak 'Cos you already know What I was going to ask And you’ve already answered And I don’t know when We figured this out But it wasn’t part of the plan And I’m still amazing That you seem to know What’s been on my mind And what I might be thinking And I don’t know how You know so much But it’s like you’re in my head You should be the one To write all of my songs You would tell the stories Better than me Maybe I should stop And leave it all up to you Just let me know when you’re done I say I write Straight from the heart But I’m rarely honest About the true meaning I don’t like to give Too much away But with you, well you always know You should be the one To write all of my songs You would tell the stories Better than me Maybe I should stop And leave it all up to you Just let me know when you’re done I’ve got so many notes For you to translate But I won’t be surprised If you throw them away It’s not that I can’t Say what’s on my mind But you have a way with words You should be the one To write all of my songs You would tell the stories Better than me Maybe I should stop And leave it all up to you Just let me know when you’re done Let me know when you’re done

I take one step back But I’m two years on I live every day
As it comes I take one more breath Before I jump in 'Cos it’s deeper than before Well I’m ready to win this I’ve figured it out Well it’s all so easy If you dream, If you desire If you try and you never tire You’ll get what you want You’ll get what you want In this state of mind Defeat is no choice I’ll grab all my chances I’ll take what’s mine This wonderful life Is a beautiful game But if you don’t play the game Then you’re not worth a life Well I’m ready to win this I’ve figured it out Well it’s all so easy If you dream, If you desire If you try and you never tire You’ll get what you want You’ll get what you want I can’t be told I’ll never give up I won’t be the person you expected me to be Well I’ll get what I want I’ll get what I want I’ll get what I want I’ll get what I want I’ll get what I want

Happy 05:36
I’ve been fine For a while now And it’s all down to you I’m so glad that you’re here Well I’m not one to tell the world about myself But if anyone asks, well I’m happy now And I’ve not said this with meaning before And you know that I’ve wanted to say it for so long I’m not sure How it’s been a whole year And it’s everything I need To keep me sane Well I don’t wanna make it all about me And I really hope that you’re happy too And I’ve not said this with meaning before And you know that I’ve wanted to say it for so long I’m in a good place right now I’m in a good place and I hope it lasts I never thought that I’d be here Now I never want to leave And I’ve not said this with meaning before And you know that I’ve wanted to say it for so long I’m not sure when I figured this out But I don’t really care ‘Cos I’ve been fine For a while now

Lost 04:35
Well I know these words have meaning 'Cos we try to speak our minds But sometimes it’s best to leave it So far behind That story would have a place here But it’s not for me to tell 'Cos I would not do it justice And you know it well It’s the last time we speak about this Then we’ll move on 'Cos it’s not the time And it’s not the place It’s not up to me So I’ll give this some space I know you won’t believe me But I swear that it’s all true Sometimes it’s hard to talk about The pain that we go through Those words can stay on paper They’re not mine to rearrange And now I’ve had an insight There’s not much that I would change It’s a bad time to ask about this So I’ll keep quiet 'Cos it’s not the time And it’s not the place It’s not up to me So I’ll give this some space I know it’s there if I need it But it wouldn’t feel right I’ll figure something out So not all is lost 'Cos it’s not the time It will never be the place It’s not up to me So I’ll give this some space

I’m with you When you’re here alone I can feel you When you’re down, I’m down Is there something that I should have said Shouted out from the rooftops Or kept to myself instead I can’t make up my mind Tell me if I should go Or save me if I start to fall I’m lazy and I like it that way So please tell me How to run my life Just one more Then I’ll go Temptation Rules my heart and mind Is there nothing else for me to do Than just sit here all wasted and carry on drinking through I can’t make up my mind Tell me if I should go Or save me if I start to fall I’m lazy and I like it that way So please tell me How to run my life I want to make it right I want to live my life So put your hands up now It’s a new day It’s a new phase It’s a new me

Loud 04:08
I wonder where you are right now I wonder if you think about us You didn’t have to leave like that I’m finding it hard to think straight Why does it have to be so loud Don’t you think I’ve heard enough? We’ve all got different ways to show Everything we have to the world But you’re an exception to the rule 'Cos you’re not one to give it all away Why does it have to be like this Don’t you want to start again? Tell me what’s changed Since the last time we spoke 'Cos I thought we were good So what’s new? To me it all feels the same as before Maybe it’s a good time to talk Maybe I’ve been fooling myself
