LIVED A MILLION LIVES I lived a million lives Crossed a million oceans I danced a million lies, cause not every door was open I fall down fast lord I climb up tall Yeah I may have hurt a few but I still love them all Searching for home I don’t know where to go A million hearts lie beating on my ocean floor Yeah I may have hurt a few But I still love them all Shake from my head beat from my toes This endless aching dreaming mind that does not know Where is home I would fly if I could To be closer to you yeah you know I would But now I only sleep to dream You say I’m a dreamer you say it’s all over for me An empty soul no moral no pride But all I ever wanted Was too be loved. Oh oh oh Yeah I may have hurt a few But I still love you all I lived a million lives Crossed a million oceans.

AIN’T NO LOVE AFFAIR There can be no secrets here I am waist deep in this water And I been keeping it to myself, but I can't keep it in any longer There can be no secrets here I am waist deep in this water And I been keeping it to myself, but I can't keep it in any longer I wanna tell ya how I feel I want to tell you how I really feel Because This aint no love affair I’m starting to really care for you This aint no half-cut deal No baby this love is real This love is real x 4 It’s about time I found time to grab that wheel and steer Gonna steer this baby right into the water Gonna drown those doubts and fears Because This aint no love affair I’m starting to really care for you This aint no half-cut deal No baby this love is real this love is real X4 It’s been a long long road to truth I wanna tell you all a little story I been carrying this heart all over the world It only beats when I look at you babe wont you tell me how you feel Oh Cause I feel good babe This aint no love affair Starting to really care for you This aint no half-cut deal So, grab that wheel and steeeeeeeeer This love is real x4 I’m gonna tell you how I really feel x 3 This love is real This love is real Oh babe I think I love ya I’m gonna tell you how I really feel x2

Go Baby Go 03:37
Go Baby Go Almost all my life I’ve been searching for that hero Hunting for that warrior that Mr. right Looked under every rock in my garden But I could not see him - No He was sitting right beside me I knew one of us was leaving And he’s scared she’ll go And she’s scared she wont Both living a god dam lie Never getting what they want And if you don’t go, you’ll never know What’s the point? What’s the point? And if you don’t go, you’ll never know What’s the point? That’s my point And It’s a losing game when you play to win it’s a crying shame when love’s a sin oh no Missed my chance too many times Gave my dreams away for reason and rhyme That’s no way to live your life When reaching’s our way of staying alive I like the lights on the highway cool wind in my hair No, I’m never happy unless I’m going somewhere oh oh And If you don’t go, you’ll never know what’s the point? If you don’t go, you’ll never know that’s my point And it’s a losing game when you play to win It’s a crying shame when love’s a sin So, go baby go Go baby go And if you don’ t go you’ll never know what’s the point And if you don’t go you’ll never grow that’s my point Yeah yeah I’ll never stop you chasing that star Never stop you being who you really are Chain around my neck one around my leg how’s a girl supposed to fly like this? Go baby go Go baby go Go baby go Go baby go I won’t stop you baby Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Go Baby go

Undone 03:01
UNDONE I'm a little lost a little unsure Feeling uninspired   needing some more oh lord I'm not the only one Who feeling unconnected feeling rather dull I'm riding  with the waves punching with the swell Oh lord I'm not the only one Who's drifting through the world waiting on a change Looking for a sign to tell me it's all ok  Will we ever know We're all spinning on the same dam wheel None of us knowing which way to feel And I'm knocking on the doors of hell I'm not feeling so well And I need to know I'm not the only one That's coming undone We're all standing with our feet together hands in our pockets talking bout the weather dreaming of ways we could live forever if only If it weren't for her then I'd be with him in this god dam world of sink or swim I'm asking for a little light cause I'm a little dim We're all spinning on the same dam wheel None of us knowing which way to feel And I'm knocking on the doors of hell I'm not feeling so well and I need to know I’m not the only one that’s coming undone Need to know X 3 I’m not the only one I'm not the only one that's coming undone not the only onex8

I miss you yeah I need you I miss you oh yeah And I order you now To come on home Starship entering It’s been too long now Trouble remembering what we were Flame has turned to pain Days I wish away Will I ever see you again? I miss you I need you I order you now to come home I need you now to come home I want you now to come on home Beg steal or borrow Do what you have to Just get back here safe to my arms Beg steal or borrow Do what you have to Just get back here safe to my arms I’m not home till I’m in your arms No, I’m not home No, till I’m in your arms I need you now to come home And I order you now to come home I need you now to come home I’m wanting you now to come home I need you now to come home I want you now to come on home I need you now I want you now I need you now I order you now to come on home

Oh mumma Mary go round Mary -Mary fell down- can’t get her feet back on the ground Mary go round Mary -Mary fell down -can’t get her feet back on the ground Mary go round Mary -Mary fell down can’t get her feet back on the ground Mary go round Mary fell down

Mum can I wear your shoes that is all I said If only I had known the meaning that would have When daddy left you all I did was cry And blamed you for him leaving me behind Cause in my head you never even tried So, I closed the door on all your reasons why Mum can I wear your dress He’s asked me on the town And you just shook your head and all I did was frown Yes, I said yes mum I know he is the one Yes, I said yes mum can I wear your dress If I’d known back, then that love could hurt so bad Then I would have listened to those words you said Now I know mum that I had to take that fall And you were only trying to protect your little girl Mum can I drive your car Mine’s broken down again No, he’s out on the town He’s says that he’s with friends Now I understand mum just how you must have felt You were staying with him mum while he was loving someone else And all this time I blamed you I was wrong Cause you were staying with him for me, Mum you were so strong And I know sometimes in life you have to choose Mum I’m standing at your door I’m in your shoes Mum I’m standing at your door Can I stay with you

Long Way Round Try to get up I feel dizzy Spinning around I’m giddy Lights in my eyes they’re making me blind It’s making it harder for me to find my way out of here Cause it’s a long way down when you’re falling It’s a long way up when you’re crawling And it’s a long way round when somebody’s dragging you down Ah ah Get in my car got to go for a drive Got to get out of here for a while Driving along just a listen to a song And the road’s winding up ahead The lights are a flashing, a cop pulls me over He leans in my window and says It’s a long way down when you’re falling It’s a long way up when you’re crawling And it’s a long way round when somebody’s dragging you down Down down down mmmm mmmm mmm I’m saving every penny, I’m saving every dime to find a place that’s mine oh mine I love my friends, I love them so I really got to learn to let them go It’s a long way down when you’re falling It’s a long way up when you’re crawling And it’s a long way round when somebody’s dragging you down Down down down Down down down oh yeah Aha ha ha Something about me yeah today, clearer than normal and a breathen away Somebody lights up, somebody pipes up I’m back where I started again And it’s a long way down when you’re falling A long way up when you’re crawling And it’s a long way round when somebody’s dragging It’s a long way down when you’re falling A long way up when you’re crawling And it’s a long way round when somebody’s dragging you down x2
