Thought I’d found what I wanted That I’d finally come up for air But I’m gasping up here on the surface Choking to death in this nightmare It’s three in the morning I shouldn’t have called But hold me and catch my fall Take me away – underwater Escap...

Long ago and far away You took me to a place I can’t forget If You’re my knight in shining armour Guess you just don’t realise it yet Been cooped up in a tower For hours and hours But the wrong guys all try to rescue me Why kiss another frog You’re th...

If I were a sail boat I’d sail back to your shore If I were an eagle I’d fly to your door If I were a wild horse I’d be back with you so soon Cos you light up my world When you walk in the room When I’m lost and all alone You’re the star that guides m...

You’re gonna go crazy outta your mind Another week searching and I bet you go blind Don’t kill yourself stressin’ cos you got me all wrong I don’t need a long haul flight to the sun I don’t care I don’t care As long as I’ve got you there I don’t care I...

You used to let me share a cigarette I got so sick that I’d sooner forget You got me into bad habits, bad habits You swore Tequila never messes with your head Woke up at six am feeling like death You got me into bad habits, bad habits You always broke th...

Til the day I met you I led half a life Like an actress in a movie before the CGI Imagining a world how perfect it could be Left acting on a film set with nothing real but me And that’s the way it’s always been Until your CGI kicked in Now I’m flying t...

Once there was a forest of light Where the darkness would shine golden bright And there was no divide between the day and night Or so a mother told her child Once there was a wish that came true Where I found my belief and gave it to you And before love...

D’you ever wonder how to make a change How to make this world a happier place? Something simple maybe you could do A way to put a smile on someone’s face You can make a difference Let the sunshine through It won’t be no coincidence If you end up smilin...

A one horse town still half asleep Then I heard someone screaming I’ve struck gold It’s dog eat dog and me me me N’all that stuff that really leaves me cold Count me out They’ll be diggin’ in the dust Count me out When I feel your touch I got love and...

Can’t you tell by my smile so wide Can’t you tell I can’t hold it inside Can’t you tell from the way I rhyme Can’t you tell, Can’t you tell Why, oh why I’m happy as a clam in a bright blue sea I’m a blade of grass swayin’ in the breeze I’m happy, I’m h...

When I was a little kid You gave me the greatest gift A beautiful heart shaped balloon I was way too young to know The more you try to keep a hold The easier it is to lose As it drifted away I was broken Cos suddenly everything changed For once in my l...

If only I could stay here By the pale blue sea As the waves begin to whisper I drift off to sleep Autumn is calling But tell him he can chill Freeze frame This moment And make the time stand still Hey summer don’t ever end Hey summer let’s go round...

You were so complicated And I thought maybe it was me all along If you knew how much I hated Every time you said: “Hey when you gonna write me that love song?” I guess I didn’t have the recipe Until you left me And took the best of me And you walked o...

Never get the time for us anymore Rushin’ around but what’s it all for? Still together but we’re drifting apart Wasn’t love meant to be easy? And real life the hardest part? So switch off your phone Let’s spend a little time on our own… I wanna get la...

You’ll be working late tonight maybe I should go to bed You get back at 4am and I can taste the love that lingers on your breath Your innocent eyes make a lousy disguise And pretty flowers won’t cover this mess Let me guess Are you switching on that sm...

You swore I was the only one Who really understood you bet I’m not the only one Who ended with “How could you? I, I shoulda guessed, I woulda left I could be free. Why, why don’t you go and blame it all on me? But just one thing before you leave. G...

You say you love me But if you do What's with the pressure? I'm not gonna change just for you You say let's go out But dress up cute Why should I ditch my guitar for a new pair of shoes? You say you wanna party all night long But I'm lousy at dancing...

It was nothing serious When we went on that first date It was nothing serious When you crashed at my place I pretended it was nothing When you said can I leave my things It was cool when I called and your message had changed To “Hey guys we’re not in”...

D’you ever stop and wonder why It’s so damn hard finding Mr Right? I swear it’s just a Disney lie: ‘You only need to find love once” Here’s the thing, guys are all the same They love you then they leave you like it’s just a game Did no one tell th...

She plans her day around what she does at night Works just enough to keep the money thing tight Don’t take any gifts from any gentlemen callers But she’s a good luck charm for some sky high rollers Sky high rollers She is first in line at the party door...

Something’s happening to me and you lighting up the night brighter than the moon I couldn’t stop it even if we wanted to Tell me I’m not dreaming Uh-oh, I’m out of my depth Struggling to breath, got to catch my breath A little voice saying yes yes yes...

Do you remember there was a time We thought dreams really did come true? Giving in to the daily grind We could fight it but what’s the use? When you’re down so low In the cold all alone Tryin’ to figure out why why why When you’re down so low There’s o...

This motel room is home tonight, for me and my guitar Outside a lonely neon light shines like a broken star The walls are thin, I hear a man say, “babe, we’re in too deep” Sometimes my life is like a song I’ve written in my sleep Maybe I’m going nowhere M...

It’s another Monday morning and I’ve gotta leave before you wake up I’m fighting through that traffic half asleep under my makeup Guess I wasn’t made right for the city life Cos every night I’m dreaming there’s a place Where the hours turn to days Real l...

Like a sea of gold outside my garden gate Behind that house that I grew up in, our beautiful escape We’d talk for hours and hours and look up at the sky I had all the questions, but you could tell me why You told me Sunflowers stare at the sun And ho...

You’re lyin’ awake in the night So scared and so weak All your worries are turning to ghosts That watch you sweat But won’t let you sleep The winter seems longer this year So dark and so cold The flowers you planted are gone But wait In spring we’ll...

Anyone can watch the stars at night And try to figure out what it all means Anyone can shelter from the rain And stumble on the person of their dreams And I wish I could help you right now And I wish I could help you to breathe This is for you… Anyone...

Walking…direction unknown Walking…strange to be on my own I see myself…at least I think I do Walking somehow to you I lost the words, I tossed and turned I watched you as the candle burned You closed the door and disappeared I followed signs that were n...

So great that you’re in love But why d’you call me up at 2am? To say it’s kinda tough But she can’t stand all your friends Funny how when we hang out Stare all night at your phone Oh stop, guess what The guilt trip works and you gotta run home What’s...

It’s funny how a single word Is all you need to change the world It can open every door I’m positive you know it So how about you show it By using it a whole lot more Every voice that got me here Whispering in my ear Telling me that I’m not beaten yet...
