Chasing Stars

I've been waiting for a life time
For the world to see
A girl so shy and shiny
With all her powers unleashed

No more waiting on the benches
No more opportunities lost
I'll keep my eyes wide open
And make the most of most

If we had 2 extra hours to a day,
There will always be someone to steal it away

Like if my Majestic Mother had 2 extra hours to her day
She'd keep reminding me of my mistakes, while all i say is "Okay".

If my Bald Boss had 2 extra hours to his day
He'd be thrilled to save some money while I lose my overtime pay

If my Troublesome Teacher had 2 extra hours to her day
She'd still be watering her plants, while i grade her students the extra A's.

If my Boastful Boyfriend had 2 extra hours to his day
He'd keep it a secret and rush to a nearby town just to get laid

If my Foolish Friend had 2 extra hours to her day
She’d spend it on the phone gossiping to me when i really don't care

If my Deadly Dog had 2 extra hours to his day
I'd be cleaning his messes more often for he'd be eating more clay

If my Nosy Neighbour had 2 extra hours to her day
She'd want printed bio's of Joe, Jack, Jones, John and even Jerrad who's gay

But what if you had 2 extra hours to a day...
That no one can interrupt in any way?

Oh yes... if the Intelligent I had 2 extra hours to my day
I’d dream and dream and dream my day away

If only I could

Memories scattered on the floor
Don’t know why or what I’m looking for
But every once in a while, I’m standing here

Looking back, at what I’ve gained and lost
Found true love, but I still miss you the most
People say it’s funny after all these years

I can’t remember what we had
Or where we went wrong
But I know that things weren’t meant to be
Even after moving on
I still get flashes of
A friendship between you and me

Going Away

I may not have been the best
but neither were you
i may not have fullfilled your dreams
but neither did you make mine come true

for whatever it was,
we saw in each other
love for a lifetime,
faded through weather

even though i walked,
i sometimes feel the pain
while you put up an act
to take all the blame

we may never fully understand
how this came to be
life works in strange ways
is how i console me

i try to look for genuine times
and it surprises me that i can't find them quick
was it so long ago
that i can't even remember, why we clicked?

people change all the time
depending on situations
it was my fault that i didn't realise
when i was crossing my limitations

but what did you do
as i closed my heart
you never came knocking
until we grew apart

so stop blaming yourself
and don't blame me
if we are not together
this was how it was to be

i only wish,
i could look you in the eye
as much as it would hurt you
i'd be a friend by your side

cos we've been through a lot
and we should make that count
there were emotions and feelings
not just a book of accounts

maybe i am being selfish
maybe it would never work
or maybe i just like to complicate things
to proudly say my life is fucked

and then, on a day just like today
I could have called to say 
i hope you're good, 
and i'm sorry for going away

You Are Mine

Is it her long black shiny hair that falls down onto her shoulders
or her tender lips, that makes you smile?
Does her tiny dress make you can't take your eyes off her
guilty free you know she can make you dance

Do you like the sound of her heels as she makes her way closer to you
and her painted fingers on your stubbled cheek
Is it the sound of her voice that makes you lose your mind
That you can't figure out, she's a cheat?

And she'll steal your heart
Before she tears it apart
You'll be back at the start
In no time

I will find you

On the darkest night of the shortest day
Wrapped under my coat of warm
Watching shadows eat up my wall
I’m stuck in the middle of a storm

Rain and Hale dance around my window
But something inside me remains calm
Unseen is the force behind my adventure
That assures me, I will not be harmed

The will to believe
The desire to stay strong
If you have it in you
Nothing can go wrong

Through the tests of man and earth
Even if my search is never ending
I will never quit
There can be no end to this obsessive longing
Push, pull, prod or provoke
But time will heal all my wounds
And I will come back to this right here
And I will find you.

Smooth terrain may be easy to find
But what use if it doesn’t lead to you
I’ll take my time, longer if it may
Desperation can’t make me blue

My ears and eyes are always open
Looking for my long lost soul
No play of nature can bring me down
I know I’ll even survive the North Pole

The will to believe
The desire to stay strong
If you have it in you
Nothing can go wrong

Through the tests of man and earth
Even if my search is never ending
I will never quit
There can be no end to this obsessive longing
Push, pull, prod or provoke
But time will heal all my wounds
And I will come back to this right here
And I will find you.

The will to believe
The desire to stay strong
If you have it in you
Nothing can go wrong

Through the tests of man and earth
Even if my search is never ending
I will never quit
There can be no end to this obsessive longing
Push, pull, prod or provoke
But time will heal all my wounds
And I will come back to this right here
And I will find you.

Oh, you know I will find you
If it’s the last thing that I do
I will find you.

Tonight

I wish I could just run to you
So fast, I’d hop skip and jump for you
Oooh yeah, I wish I was running to you
To lie in your arms tonight

I think I’m so gonna fall for you
You turn me on, with every little thing you do
Oooh yeah, I just might be fallin’ for you
So high on your lips tonight

Tonight
As the clouds start to flirt with the moon, I’ll be making my way closer to you
With my lacy blues, I’ll take you to a trance
Tonight
After your doubts have come and gone, you’ll be waiting for me, like I’m the one
With some music on, we’ll break into a dance, dance, dance
Tonight.

I hope I could just live in this
Never felt so good, it’s eternal bliss
Oooh yeah, I hope I could stay like this
Oh my! You and me tonight

Tonight
As the clouds start to flirt with the moon, I’ll be making my way closer to you
With my lacy blues, I’ll take you to a trance
Tonight
After your doubts have come and gone, you’ll be waiting for me, like I’m the one
With some music on, we’ll break into a dance, dance dance
Tonight.

I wish I could just run to you
So fast, I’d hop skip and jump for you
Oooh yeah, I wish I was running to you
To lie in your arms tonight

Tonight
As the clouds start to flirt with the moon, I’ll be making my way closer to you
With my lacy blues, I’ll take you to a trance
Tonight
After your doubts have come and gone, you’ll be waiting for me, like I’m the one
With some music on, we’ll break into a dance, dance dance
Tonight.

Tonight (3x)

Tide

Calm as the sea
If my, my world were to be
Then you’d, be by my side
That’s easy to see

But I know for a fact
That’s not, where my life’s at
I know, this must be hard for you
I can see through your act

Through the laughter and tears
Through the pain over the years
Every lesson I have learnt
Tells me to be myself

And I’m strongest alone
While I know that I will always have your support
There's one thing you should know
I live my life for my own

And baby I’m messed up inside
You shouldn’t wanna be with me on my crazy ride
Move along with your life
I might be changing with the tide

I may not be right
Cos I, never put up a fight
I let, you be here with me
Night after night

Through the laughter and tears
Through the pain over the years
Every lesson I have learnt
Tells me to be myself

And I’m strongest alone
While I know that I will always have your support
There's one thing you should know
I live my life for my own

And baby I’m messed up inside
You shouldn’t wanna be with me on my crazy ride
Get along with your life
I might be changing with the tide


Oooh
You think you know me?
Oooh
You know what I need?
Oooh
You say you understand me?
Ooooh
But this should not be about me

Cos I’m strongest alone
While I know that I will always have your support
There's one thing you should know
I live my life for my own

And baby I’m messed up inside
You shouldn’t wanna be with me on my crazy ride
Get along with your life
I might be changing with the tide

Oh yeah, I might be changing with the tide
I know, I know, It ain't fair
But I might just be changing with the tide
Yeah,
I just might be changing with the tide
With the tide
With the tide....

You Get Me High

Out n out romantic!

-----

I take a peek from far far away
But can feel your vibrations so close
What is it about you that makes me beat
My heart just can't get enough

With your subtle hints and you're see through smile
You are everything that I'll ever need
You don't even have to say the words
You give me more than in my dreams

Oh Love...
I've never known so much pain in my life
Oh Love...
This pleasure sets my heart on fire... everytime
Cos when I'm drowning, you get me high

A girl in each arm and you stomp around
Knowing the whole world will fall at your feet
A cocky corny attitude might put the others off
But you know I know you from underneath

With your flashy teeth and those playful eyes
You are everything I'll ever need
I'll stay by your side and wait my turn
Cos you give me more than in my dreams

Oh Love...
I've never known so much pain in my life
Oh Love...
This pleasure sets my heart on fire... everytime
Cos when I'm drowning, you get me high

Without the past to back me and a future for hope
I still remain deep in your love
I'm closer to you now and to that I hold
I will remain deep in your love
Emotions flow by in its sweet extremes
But I will remain deep in your love

Cos when I'm drowning
When I'm drowning
When I'm drowning... You get me high

Oh Love...
I've never known so much pain in my life
Oh Love...
This pleasure sets my heart on fire... everytime
Cos when I'm drowning, you get me high

Yeah when I'm drowning
You get me high
When I'm frowning
You get me high
Oh baby when I'm drowning
You get me high
Oh, you get me high

One Day

One day
There will be one day when the sun will set into a brighter space
There will be one day when the world is without religion and race
Without crime and it's rage
One day when the world is free

One day
Let there be one day when money won't rule our kind
Let there be one day when hunger is the last thing on our mind's
We'll let the god's unwind
One day when the world is free

After the war is done
Our time will come
Just like when the storm is gone
We wait for the calm
When people learn to live as one

We'll learn to laugh with the pain
Be forgiving with no gain
That's when the world will be free

One day
There will be one day when jealousy won't bring us down
There will be one day when our roots shall still be planted to the ground
Love once lost, is now found
One day when the world is free

We'll learn to laugh with the pain
Be forgiving with no gain
That's when the world will be free

One day
Oh yeah, one day
And the world will be free
