Happiness is far and few and in between But I finally found my scene You can’t keep your filthy paws Away and it unveils all of your flaws Cuz sometimes the craving washes common sense away Sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy You know when you play with fire you might get burned Oh baby sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy We are always told to aim high But when I do I feel a bullet hit my back I feel pressure on my heart And then the bullet bounces back Cuz sometimes the craving washes common sense away Sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy You know when you play with fire you might get burned Oh baby sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy You may try to pry my hands But I don’t give a damn Sometimes the craving washes common sense away Sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy You know when you play with fire you might get burned Oh baby sometimes self-love is more than love in jealousy x2

Carry Me 03:34
Oh, oh Oh, oh Two by two they march And hold their flags up in the sky Fighting for their life With thoughts of only the Most High We send our letters of love And prayers through the night Never knowing the truth Cuz we can’t bear the sight The skies fill with fog Causing ice to break apart Worlds flip upside down Tearing your heart Looking for someone to blame But not from within It may be too late To change where we’ve been Won’t you spread your wings and carry me To the moon and under the sea What are we living for? Fighting peace with war? Won’t you spread your wings and carry me A child waits all night long For a better day Thankful for the ones Who care enough to stay Food was scarce and hope was lost Until you came around Lifting his spirits Up off the ground Won’t you spread your wings and carry me To the moon and under the sea What are we living for? Fighting peace with war? Won’t you spread your wings and carry me Won’t you hold me? I can feel you Arms wrapped tightly It’s our secret Won’t you spread your wings and carry me To the moon and under the sea What are we living for? Fighting peace with war? Won’t you spread your wings and carry me Won’t you spread your wings and carry me (Carry me) To the moon and under the sea (Carry me) What are we living for? Fighting peace with war? Won’t you spread your wings and carry me Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh

I believe when love goes round Time stands still for a moment now and the clouds begin to clear And when pride falls down to the ground An unseen miracle appears and the sun shines without fear And after power before humility Beggars start their lonely crawl and that’s when nighttime starts to fall And I can’t tell why everyone’s not all right And I can’t tell why everything’s gone awry But peace can only survive when there’s one God When princes and kings are ruling no more We look everywhere but in the mirror When searching for an answer to our endless prayers And when our walls begin to tumble down Our eyes try to see what only our hearts can feel And every time we turn our backs on love We become paralyzed by our sins and crazy lies And I can’t tell why everyone’s not all right And I can’t tell why everything’s gone awry But peace can only survive when there’s one God When princes and kings are ruling no more Ooh x2 I can’t tell why everyone’s not all right (Ooh) And I can’t tell why everything’s gone awry (Ooh) But peace can only survive when there’s one God (Ooh) When princes and kings are ruling no more (Ooh) When princes and kings are ruling no more x3

The world is upside down and inside out And it’s keeping you underground Voices follow the lonely path That steps in your shadow Clouds become your sunshine With darkness lurking around you Keep breathing With or without you I’ll keep breathing And do it all again Pull yourself together now Put the pieces back where they belong Don’t waste anymore of your time Just sing yourself a new song Play it over and over In your head till you’ve won Keep breathing With or without you I’ll keep breathing And do it all again Over and over again x2 Keep breathing With or without you I’ll keep breathing And do it all (again) x3

I remember when I’d ride my bike a mile or two And runaway for a few Just to come back home And forget why I ever left In the first place Take my hand Let’s take a short walk And leave the door unlocked Without any care in sight There it was The moment so darn colorful When life was pure and simple That was back in the day It feels like it was just yesterday I was laughing Until I was crying And life could never pass us by Without ever knowing We were really alive Take my hand Let’s take a short walk And leave the door unlocked Without any care in sight There it was The moment so darn colorful When life was pure and simple That was back in the day Take a real good look At the world today You better say a prayer to stay Because in the end It’s just you and me Oh baby, what do you say Take my hand Let’s take a short walk And leave the door unlocked Without any care in sight There it was The moment so darn colorful When life was pure and simple That was back in the day Oh, oh, oh You better say a prayer to stay Oh, oh, oh Oh baby, what do you say Take my hand Let’s take a short walk And leave the door unlocked Without any care in sight There it was The moment so darn colorful When life was pure and simple That was back in the day Take my hand Let’s take a short walk And leave the door unlocked Without any care in sight There it was The moment so darn colorful When life was pure and simple That was back in the day

I am waitin’ for my time in life I am waitin’ for love I am waitin’ on the world to change I am waitin’ on you I’m waitin’ Every time I wake up I sit back and realize What the worlds been missing if they just open their eyes Fightin’ demons everywhere keepin’ my head on straight The longest dream I’ve ever had praying it ‘s not too late I am waitin’ for my time in life I am waitin’ for love I am waitin’ on the world to change I am waitin’ on you I’m waitin’ I’ve got so much love to share But feels like no one cares So I will write here to wipe away my tears Call me crazy if you will for having a little hope One can change the world if you will only let me show CHORUS (repeat) Please give me a chance To say what I believe is real I can only hope that What you hear is what I mean CHORUS (repeat) I’m waitin’ I’m waiting on you I’m waiting x2 I’m waiting for love from you I’m waitin’

In Love 03:12
He walked through the door And told me he liked my curls And I blew away all other girls So on a rock in Central Park He asked and I said yes Cuz I know the feeling When my breath is taken away And my heart beats in circles Cuz I am in love Love x4 We walked hand in hand He looked in my soul And I leaned my life on him On one knee and down the aisle He asked and I said yes BRIDGE (repeat) CHORUS (repeat) BRIDGE (repeat) CHORUS (repeat) Love x4 I’m in love, love x3

Walk Away 04:18
One day your life Will pause and rely On finding the truth That you never knew When that day comes Please don’t throw it away Or pretend you don’t care Like everything is okay Say what you feel And walk like you know because This is your life You can’t just walk away, walk away Oh yea, you can’t just walk away, walk away Sometimes life is so full We’re stuck in a bubble The air begins to lose We can no longer choose Right from wrong or Up from down we go round In circles far away Like everything is okay Chorus <repeat> Oh, oh, oh, oh x3 Say what you feel Walk like you know This is your life You can’t just walk away Chorus <repeat> Oh, oh, oh, oh x5 Walk away, walk away, don’t walk away x3

Here At Home 03:41
When you’re outside in the world tonight Trying not to lose your health And if you see an opening Try to introduce yourself If someone gets ahead of you Try to keep yourself composed I think I have to let go I’ll be waiting Here at home Pushed to be something more Even when your day seems made Strive for that feeling you’ve tried so hard You couldn’t give another breath away The worlds not sitting around for you Feed yourself help us grow I think I have to let go I’ll be waiting Here at home From the little things about the day To the drama that can throw you off Whether the storm and go inside Your head is strong your skin is tough It has to be to live in this world Try to keep yourself composed I think I have to let go I’ll be waiting Here at home x2
