Stay 03:52
Holding my breath I count to ten I see your face before me and then That glint in your eye blows me away We both should know that I just can’t stay You move in close, you touch my skin My stomach flips my head starts to spin I gasp for air, some breathing space Fall in to the abyss of your embrace (Chorus) Stay quiet, stay still, stay here with me Just who is to say, what should be? Forget tomorrow, just think of now I know that we’ll get through this somehow I stare in to those wistful eyes The sweet innocence in them belies The longing that should never be The longing that brought you here with me Forget what they say, forget what’s right Be anyone you want tonight

It’s dark outside, the cold wind bites Yet somewhere in my heart remains a flickering light You’d never understand, maybe it’s better that way To live in endless nights, kept far away from day It all began, so many years ago Perhaps I could have changed things, but who was I to know The seed was set, that was only the start It’d only begin to grow after so many years apart (Chorus) I never want to wake in a world when you’re not there I wish that I could tell you just how much I care I would do anything, to make your world seem right If only I could hold you tonight. We sit, we talk, exchange a fleeting glance Does it ever cross your mind that this could lead to a romance? A darker world than mine, if you’d only let me in I could care for your wounds, let the healing begin I wish that I could read the thoughts inside your head But all I see is uncertainty and darkness instead If I don’t have you, then I have nothing left A life not worth living, empty, bereft. Could you ever find a place for me inside your heart? I’d never let you down, I’d never tear us apart I know that this could be a lot to ask But just don’t let your future be as bleak as your past.

I keep on walking the same old road It feels as though I might explode Slides from hot to freezing cold Another chapter left untold (Chorus) I need to see you I need to tell you I need to break through I need to set me free I’m above the clouds and flying high Then I fall I crash, I hurt, I cry Mixed emotions go racing by I wish this love would just fade and die I said I’d see this through to the end But it needs to stop, I can’t pretend We could have been more than just friends Love is something you don’t comprehend.

Will You 03:19
From the moment that we met I knew you were the one Your smile lit up my world You shone brighter than the sun As you held me in your arms Everything made sense Never before had I believed In a love so intense (Chorus) Will you be there? Will you stay? Will you hold me close, never let love slip away? Will you always care? Will you be true? Will you shine down on me when the world seems blue? Will you? I promise to be there for you As you laugh and as you cry Never will I betray you Never will I say goodbye I will cherish every moment That I spend with you I’ll always be by your side In everything you do We can overcome anything Our story’s ours to write Dance through all our summer days Hold on through the darkest nights

My Number 35 03:12
Life can be humdrum it can be a bore, choose to fit in or choose to ignore Try to escape or decide to stay, catch the next bus to get away I stand at the shelter reading through the stops, do I go the long haul or just a short hop? So much to think and time’s running out, I have to move fast, without a doubt (Chorus) Driving down the road on a sunny day, I paid the fare that I had to pay Thinking ‘bout all those games you play You were just my, just my, you were just my number thirty five. The route isn’t easy it’s got twists and turns, did I buy a single or an open return? Choose where to sit, choose where to alight, fly through the darkness, deep in to the night Coventry, Chester, Cardiff or Crewe, trying to get far away from you A passenger on a bumpy ride, I’ll get a different service next time The first stage done and I feel alive, change this vehicle that I ride I take the wheel now it’s me who drives, you were just my, just my, just my thirty five
6.
I wake up with a start as I peer through the dark There’s a pain in my heart that could’ve only been left by you Is it truth is it lies is this really goodbye? Is that pain in your eyes for me, or is it for you? (Chorus) This could never be But you’re too blind to see You act so selfishly, you’ll never change We can’t work this out Of this I have no doubt Don’t know what you’re about I’ve walked away I’ve walked away I drift off to the past , did I think we would last It all happened so fast, now you’re a ghost that haunts my heart Did you say what you meant, was it all just pretence? Will you ever relent, will you change and set me free?
7.
Betrayed 04:44
The fading light Leads to the dead of night I pull your body close to mine I feel your touch Want you so much There’s nothing left for me to hide (chorus) I just want to be with you tonight Can you ease this pain inside? Kiss my lips in the pouring rain I stare in to your eyes as you call my name Don’t look back that was yesterday Tell me whose love is it that you betray? You hold my hand We drift to, far off lands Don’t make me wait another day So stay with me Feel the intensity Say you’ll never walk away.
8.
Sat here on the floor, bricks falling ‘round me from the wall Watching this temple I’d built crumble away You came in to my life, now pain cuts through me like a knife Never thought these feelings would come back again (Pre Chorus) The words that should’ve never been spoken, the girl who belonged in the past The dreams that were shattered and broken, the love that would be unsurpassed (Chorus) Now we can’t go back to yesterday, or find the words we need to say To make things right, we’ll never make it right In my dreams I’d spend my life with you Now the wall’s too high and I can’t break through It’s time to face my life without you here. I down another drink, as my heart begins to sink, You took my love and poured it all away I wait for you to call, but I can’t do this anymore I’m damaged, battered, broken and left for dead.
9.
Here we are, two lost souls, staring at the sun Mere shadows of our former selves, what have we become? But the birds still sing, the stars still shine, a smile still cracks from time to time The music plays and life goes on, we’re letting go of all that’s gone (Chorus) Together we’ll move on, fight to keep our dreams Rediscover who we were before, re-kindle teenage schemes Walk away, take it back, right back to the start It’s all part of the process, to heal a broken heart Endless nights, rainy days, black clouds in the sky Brighter days will surely come, leave behind the question why Tomorrow will be a new blank page, with no more fighting, no more rage The crushing weight lifts from our souls, we’ve slipped from the reach of their control
10.
Come Back 03:59
Your T-shirt’s in the wardrobe, it still smells of you The scent it takes me back, I can’t believe we’re through Do you think of me each day? Do you wish we could go back to yesterday? (Chorus) Come back, come back, come back, come back to me Come back, come back, come back, please come back to me. The way we used to laugh, that smile upon your face But now I hear you saying, this is not the time or place Do you dream of me at night? Do you wish that I was there to hold you tight? Driving through the country, Ice-cream by the sea A thousand pictures showing, Just how perfect life could be. Waiting in the darkness, for you to call my name Will I ever love again? Will anything, ever be the same? Come back Why don’t you come back to me? Come back What will it take to make you see? Come back You and I were meant to be Come back to me Come back You lied to me right from the start Come back Then you went and crushed my heart Come back You blew my whole world apart Please come back to me Come back I should’ve never let you in Come back So tell me where do I begin? Come back I’ll prove that you will never win Come back to me Come back It’s not that I’m keeping score Come back It was you who started this war Come back So I can show you to the door Please come back to me.

Invincible 04:07
I know you said you’d always love me But it seems so long ago I know you said you’d always talk to me But I guess that wasn’t so I thought we’d stay forever As two, invincible (Chorus) Now you’re gone and I’m holding on to this hope I can’t let go Was it just a dream this thing with you and me? Hold on, hold on, to my love. The nights draw in and words escape me As emptiness consumes Bright colours fading all around me Leaving grey rain soaked hues Your memory will stay with me forever My love’s invincible ‘Cos I can’t be without you by my side But it takes things more than one to make things right
