Stranger

I think you see me differently
I didn't know you needed to
A stranger came to my doorstep and said
Something that sent me deep inside my head
And he said
Something beautiful has happened
Something beautiful has happened
There's a man inside my mirror
He can see things so much clearer
Now that you're in my town (what a hero)
Now you're in my town
Now you're in my town
I see you walk around all day
You're not a stranger anyway
Reflections make the water look like fire
And a small girl is surrounded by desire
And she's saying
Something beautiful has happened
Something beautiful has happened
There's a girl inside my mirror
She can see things so much clearer
Now you walked into my life (what a hero)
You're so beautiful
I know the stranger now
You're so beautiful

Hold me
Closely
Like everything's alright
Show me
Slowly
That I can be myself
'Cause this year I fear
I have strayed quite far
From what I was
Before
Now I really have to say
I guess I was a little lazy
Think I need a new perspective
Or maybe just a new directive
Because I don't wanna hide
I don't wanna hide away from my life anymore
Come with me
Back to the start
Come with me
Back to the start
Someone be here
Guide my odyssey
Teach me
Nurse me
Nurture me
'Cause this year I fear
I have strayed quite far
From what I was
Before now
Now I really have to say
I guess I was a little lazy
Think I need a new perspective
Or maybe just a new directive
Because I don't wanna hide
I don't wanna hide away from my life anymore
Come with me
We'll go back to the start
Come with me we're gonna have some fun
Come with me
We'll go back to the start
Come with me we're gonna have some fun yeah
Now I really have to say
I guess I was a little lazy
Think I need a new perspective
Or maybe just a new directive
Oh because I don't wanna hide
I don't wanna hide away from my life anymore
Come with me
We'll go back to the start
Come with me we're gonna have some fun

Ride it Out

Coz I can't fight it and
We can't hide it so
I'll just ride it out
I am the star on your horizon
You want to reach me but I'm too far
And you're my coffee in the morning
My body needs you when it should not
Take me out into the woods show me a better way to live
We'll build a fire and we'll find that place of peace deep in our minds
Coz I can't fight it and we can't hide it
So I'll just ride it out
They can see you edging closer
You want to touch me but it's too much
And I see your eyes are on me
But mine are clutching onto this book
Take me out into the woods
Show me a better way to live
We'll build a fire and we'll find
That place of peace deep in our minds
Coz I can't fight it and we can't hide it
So I'll just ride it out
And before I forget that you're worth fighting for
Just ride it out
Before I forget that you're worth fighting for
Just ride it out
Coz I can't fight it and we can't hide it
So I'll just ride it out
And before I forget that you're worth fighting for
Just ride it out
Just ride it out
Just ride ... it ... out

Puppeteers

Please don't tell me you're through
Peepin' toms are all about you
Yeah you can twist and you can turn it in any direction
Even you need your fair share of affection
Oh and don't you know how lies get started
It goes from one misheard word to a misunderstanding
Of whatever idea that you came out with
You can't escape they've got you surrounded
The piece you together from photographs
They've got you by strings
The puppeteers in control of your world and you can't escape
Please just keep singing your song
Oh your my idol and you were never once wrong
And then it happened
They dug out your dignity
As an old friend of yours I'd like to say
I still look up to you in every way
Don't you know how lies get started
It goes from one misheard word to a misunderstanding
Of whatever idea that you came out with
You can't escape they've got you surrounded
The piece you together from photographs
They've got you by strings
The puppeteers in control of your world and you can't escape

I'll Take This Dance

Caught up in this photograph
It was taken so long ago
It's easy you can do the math
It was written in my smile
Now I see it everywhere
This time it has taken it's toll
And I am left out in the air
My heart has got so cold
Maybe tonight my heart will change
I'll find a way to face this dangerous life
Everyone will know
I just had to go
And get up when I'm low
I'm feeling like
I've got to go
Gotta get out of this town
I wanna shout
Just get it out
Coz I'm shaking in my skin tonight
We'll take our chance
I'll take this dance
Coz I really want to show
That I don't need you anymore
Think the worst is over now
This wound is taking its time to heal
I think I should face the truth
I've changed and that's for good
I know I've done the best I could
Maybe tonight my heart will change
I'll find a way to face this dangerous life
Everyone will know
I just had to go
Get up when I'm low
I'm feeling like
I've got to go
Gotta get out of this town
I wanna shout
Just get it out
Coz I'm shaking in my skin tonight
We'll take our chance
I'll take this dance
Coz I really want to show
That I don't need you anymore

Sapphire

I have caught the bug
I can't get enough
Of your soul of your smile
Just your way and your style
You draw me in
It hit me like a drug
All of a sudden I don't feel so tough
I'm the fool you inspire
You're like a jewel sweet sapphire
You draw me in
We could show them how it's done
Burn brighter than the sun
'Cause I'm the only one for you
Don't you see that when we're dead and gone
They will remember how we shone
'Cause I'm the only one for you
I'm looking for a sign
It seems like your body says all the same things as mine
It's just a look in our eyes
We have our lust in disguise
And it draws me in
We could show them how it's done
Burn brighter than the sun
'Cause I'm the only one for you
Don't you see that when we're dead and gone
They will remember how we shone
'Cause I'm the only one for you
I'm the fool you inspire
You're like a jewel sweet sapphire
You draw me in
We could show them how it's done
Burn brighter than the sun
'Cause I'm the only one for you
Don't you see that when we're dead and gone
They will remember how we shone
'Cause I'm the only one for you
We could show them how it's done
Burn brighter than the sun
'Cause I'm the only one the only one for you
Don't you see that when we're dead and gone
They will remember how we shone
'Cause I'm the only one for you

Got my life, got my soul
Got my eyes set on you
You're not too strong tonight
I'm hoping everything is alright
I've been falling down myself
Take your time
Slowly
Be free for me
Burning out
So slowly
Be free, be free for me
Look at our days
They've been passing me by
Got my hopes up, we just have to try
You're not too strong, but through time
Every little thing'll be alright
I've been falling down myself
Take your time
So slowly
Be free for me
Burning out
So slowly
Be free, be free for me
I've been falling down myself
Take your time
So slowly
Be free for me
Burning out
So slowly
Be free, be free for me
