Just cause you’re nice don’t mean your hands are clean
Just cause you’re smiling it don’t mean a thing
Are you as happy as you want to believe?
Are you the person that you claim to be?
Lock the closet with the skeleton key to hide the bones
That you don’t want to see
Are you as happy as you want to believe?
Are you the person that you claim to be?

Storyteller bring us round and round,
there’s no telling where we’ll end up now
It’s been good, it’s been grand, I swear I almost believed
But when the truth comes out, will it set you free?

Fact and fiction twisted in your head and off your tongue,
the words that left them misled
Are you as happy as you want to believe?
Are you the person that you claim to be?

Storyteller

Lipstick stains and hickey marks tell me that I have your heart
Give me passion give me grace,  tell me that I’m not too late
Run away to be unknown, I can’t do this on my own  
We are here, this is now, I can barely make a sound

Cause I’m starstruck baby by the way you use your words
Take me somewhere far, seduce me with the world
And as the stars rain down we’ll let our whispers fill the night
Let’s live a fantasy and disappear tonight

Enlightened minds that disobey, dreaming hearts in disarray
Lovers taken by the scenes, silver spoons and silver screens
You say we’re sinners but we’ll try, try our best to make it by
Past the judgment and the fear, whisper you will be right here

Cause I’m starstruck baby by the way you use your words
Take me somewhere far, seduce me with the world
And as the stars rain down we’ll let our whispers fill the night
Let’s live a fantasy and disappear tonight

I'm starstruck baby
Cause I'm starstruck baby

Cause I’m starstruck baby by the way you use your words
Take me somewhere far, seduce me with the world
And as the stars rain down we’ll let our whispers fill the night
Let’s live a fantasy and disappear tonight

Starstruck

Gasping for air, can’t fill these lungs
Just a sad song that keeps being sung
Buried in thoughts, lost in my mind
Empty and full of wasted time

I don’t know you but I want you, come up closer
I just need to feel alive
Alive

Here in the dark, far out of sight
Help me forget I lost the light
Fill all the space, tell me your lies
Just for tonight give me that high

I don’t know you but I want you, come up closer
I just need to feel alive
Alive

Alive

whoa oh oh  whoa oh

Counting down, lets get it started
comfortable with secrets guarded
 how can I trust my fickle heart?

Tell me no one has to know
Come play along my little show
Tonight you can be my star 

you are you are you are you already know
got me infatuated all to your own
you are you are you are you're ready to go
down for the ride, till we explode

whoa oh oh whoa oh

Lounging round in lovers bliss
Longing for your wine stained lips
I'll drink you down and dance the night away

I don't care what lies ahead
Just wanna paint this city red
We won't sleep until the light of day

you are you are you are you already know
got me infatuated all to your own
you are you are you are you're ready to go
down for the ride, till we explode

whoa oh oh whoa oh

light a candle spin a record
down champagne and you'll feel better
almost time to you take your final bow

in this moment here together
nothing good can last forever
you are mine and i am yours for now

you are you are you are you already know
got me infatuated all to your own
you are you are you are you're ready to go
down for the ride, till we explode

whoa oh oh whoa oh

Infatuated

I wanna travel your lips 
And know the curves of your hips 
Dance the moonlight away 
Make you wanna stay with me 
 
I wanna tangle your hair 
Take you where you wouldn’t dare 
Cross bound’ries and lines 
‘Til every part of you is mine
 
Round and round I go again 
Trying hard to pretend 
That I don’t need you here with me 
But wanting you secretly
Close the door, let’s shut them out 
All I need is you right now 
I need my fix, my special mix 
My high that gets me through 
I need you 

 Just the thought of that bite 
Is keeping me up all night 
Toss and turn in my sheets
My body’s aching my knees are weak

I wanna drink your regrets
Until we both forget
Let me into your mind
Leave everything you knew behind

Round and round I go again 
Trying hard to pretend 
That I don’t need you here with me 
But wanting you secretly
Close the door, let’s shut them out 
All I need is you right now 
I need my fix, my special mix 
My high that gets me through 
I need you 

There’s no question that I am giving in
There’s no secrets that I can keep hidden  

Round and round I go again 
Trying hard to pretend 
That I don’t need you here with me 
But wanting you secretly
Close the door, let’s shut them out 
All I need is you right now 
I need my fix, my special mix 
My high that gets me through 
I need you
