Big thanks to Wayne for helping me with this song.

Sometimes,,,,,,  I want to run away
To a quaint little town,,,, by the ocean
To meet new people, to see new things
To explore,,,,,with only the stars to guide me


But how would I say goodbye
Cos I don’t need to be going away
I don’t wanna be here anymore
I want peace and quiet for just a second


Sometimes,,,,,,  I want to run away
To a quaint little town,,,, by the ocean
To meet new people, to see new things
To explore,,,,,with only the stars to guide me


But how would I say goodbye
Cos I don’t need to be going away
I don’t wanna be here anymore
I want peace and quiet for just a second


So, i’ll~watch~ the moon
Slowly
To have a sense of wonder in this world
To wake up everyday with a mission
A compass in my heart

The busy city streets crowd my mind
On days when there’s too much, I cease
Wouldn’t it be nice to find little quiet town
With people that won’t overwhelm me

So, i’ll~watch~ the moon
Slowly
To wake up everyday with a mission
With a mission~~~
With a mission~~

Lyrics:
Keep this tight, keep this clean, keep this fresh
Keep this pretty, keep this fat full of flesh
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
When you scream and shout 
Throw a tantrum in my face
You already know you won't get what you want

You know you won't ever
get what you want


As soon as I close the door
In your face you run away
From your problems like
You have always done 

You run away from me like
You've always done

Where is the guy I used to know
Who melted down my heart of snow
I know we both have problems 
But you never seem to grow

Can u let me hold your hand
You're hanging by your fingers
If you don't let me help you
Then I don't wanna talk to you
X2

Boy I'm tired of your mind games
They're poorly made by you 
No wonder you're so bad
At talking to others
Oh, 
Now you're just making me mad

When you scream and shout 
Throw a tantrum in my face
You already know you won't get what you want 

You know you won't ever
get what you want

Where is the guy I used to know
Who melted down my heart of snow
I know we both are troubled
But you never ever seem to grow

Can u let me hold your hand
You're hanging by your fingers
If you can't let me help you
Then I don't need to talk to you

Tantrum (poosi-tions)

till the sunrise 
got me paralysed 
lost in your eyes 

baby don’t be shy 
just take my hand and we’ll fly 
fly away to paradise 
pa-ra-di-ise

driving on a friday (friday)
making out under the sun (ok, ok, ok)
rushing to the party (party)
just learn to have some fun (hold my hand)

when you wanna feel alive 
can you stop hiding (hiding) 
from me-e-e-e-e

i don’t know how to say it (i don't know how to say it)

holding on will do more damage 
then letting go

till the sunrise 
got me paralysed 
lost in your eyes

just take my hand and we’ll fly 
fly away to paradise

POD B 

[Verse]
Working away to the beaten pie
My heart just can’t recover
When its all due
Always playing along to the fickled mind
I can’t go back to the start
Split me in two
Thinking I’m okay
But all I do is work the pain away
Away
[Pre Chorus]
Tried so hard to play all my cards
But my looks they just gave it away
It’s no way that it’s real
And I can’t wait to part
Past the Milky Way
[Chorus]
Today is the start to believe it
Cuz I found a rose on the grey
Oh I,
Got a feeling now I’m floating away
take me all the way
take me all the way

Struck by Lightning

Verse: 
Flashbacks to when we first met
You caught my eye from a distance
Joining karate, no regrets
That brought us somewhat closer

You doing nothing, just standing there
Made me smile like mad 
No idea why, can’t draw a line
You kept jumping into my head

Pre-chorus:
I’m scared, to take the first step
The consequences I cannot bear
You may reject,  we can’t be friends
My life felt like a mess

Chorus:
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Don’t think I’d ever be the same again
You’ve helped me improved, gained new skills
Life became full of thrills

Cause I’ve been surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’ve learnt not to be afraid
You made me believe that I am good
My Prince Charming, thank you.

Verse:
School’s quite overwhelming
Alone, I’m not surviving
Want you desperately, be my baby
Not just in my daydreams

Looking at you in reality
That smile made my heart go crazy
Caught eye-to-eye, I can’t deny
Cupid sent you right

Pre-chorus:
But I’m scared, to take the first step
The consequences I cannot bear
You may reject,  we can’t be friends
My life felt like a mess

Chorus: 
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Don’t think I’d ever be the same again
You’ve helped me improved, gained new skills
Life became full of thrills

Cause I’ve been surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’ve learnt not to be afraid
You made me believe that I am good
My Prince Charming, thank you.

Guitar solo 8 bars:

Last chorus:
Cause I’ve been struck by the lightning
It’s frightening
Won’t ever be the same again
With you I’ve improved, gained new skills
Life is now full of thrills

You made me surrounded by lightings
Shining brightly
I’m now totally not afraid
I now have the courage to pursue
My dream to tell you.

Outro:
I’m in love with you.De daladala
I love you

POD A

Lyrics:
verse 
a tune thats sparkling around the room 
a secrets hiding underneth your cool 
do puzzle peices somehow lose themselves 
cause i cant find it  

i know a quicker way to play instead 
you got a mystery i want to go within 
upheaving the fears im feeling
just to be here

pre chorus
aawooo  
this weight on my shoulders
cant maneuver a game this cruel 
but the end im wonderin how to be the one for you


 chorus 
i see us blooming  
my hearts contagious 
just like a kettle screaming out the blue
i know im falling
the way my mind is spinning out the room 
oh what can i do but speak of you

Blooming

A song for everyone's best friend :))

Best Friend 

i like the way
everything seems to be okay
when im hanging around you
i don’t need to think who i am
all i know that you’re my only friend

we’d shut it down
every night when we hit the town
babe you know that i gotchu
chugging gatorade at the next bus stop
everybody look here, yeah my bestie’s hot! (oh my god)

i miss fucking shit up with you
you’re one of a kind, you’re so cool
i miss having you by my side
but now that you’re back
we’re gonna bring it back
everyone knows that we’re gonna throw it back

cuz you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend baby
nobody else
nobody else
nobody else
can touch us baby

every time you look and smile
i get butterflies in my heart
i feel so proud, i’ve seen you go far
and now we’re ruling the world
every time we shut it down
turn the lights down in the back of the car
baby you and i, we’re meant to be superstars
superstars

i miss fucking shit up with you
you’re one of a kind, you’re so cool
i miss having you by my side
but now that you’re back
we’re gonna bring it back
everyone knows that we’re gonna throw it back

cuz you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend baby
nobody else
nobody else
nobody else
can touch us baby

i see the light in your eyes
and i know we’re gonna be alright
cuz you’re my best friend
now till forever
i promise you, i won’t be fair-weather

cuz you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend
you’re my best friend baby
nobody else
nobody else
nobody else
can touch us baby

i see the light in your eyes
and i know we’re gonna be alright
cuz you’re my best friend
now till forever
i promise you, i won’t be fair-weather

Best Friend

"and all that i know is that you have tainted these... innocent eyes."

a song telling a story about betrayal, love, lies, heartbreak and regret.

lyrics:

you said we’d be together, always for life
the promises we made now cut like a knife
and if you knew me you know i was begging
please don’t go

we swore nothing would ever come between us
isn’t it funny how we soon lost our trust?
it’s kinda stupid how you left, so much for 
please don’t go

but you left as soon as it started to crack
didn’t even wait, you just attacked
as i closed my eyes and made you my war

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find some way out
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

and now i’m at your door begging for more
forgiveness shouldn’t be this hard to ask for
you lit me up with all your matches
what good is that for?

and now it’s looking you dead in the eye
all the plans we made are going with the tide
now i just wanna know, who’s keeping score?

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find something more
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

but you told me you loved me
you never saw me for who i was inside

yeah you told me you loved me but i know it’s a lie
you never saw me for who i was inside
you said you wanted to find some way out
well you lied
and if you shed a tear it’s like a crocodile’s cry
i can’t even look at you in the same light
and all i know is that you have tainted these innocent eyes

you said we’d be together, always for life
the promises we made now cut like a knife
and if you knew me you know i was begging
please don’t go

说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
Tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 

And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now 
还是分手吧 
If this is what you are 
‘cuz no matter what 
I’ll never be enough 

Verse
孤独的夜里 
冷漠的咖啡 
一个人寻找我们爱的证据 
离开的突然 
没有一点感觉 
我猜想这就是你想要的结果 
baby 
 
Verse 2 
一直不知道 
真是不可靠 
当初想不到 
会有这一天 
‘Cuz when the sun goes down 
And the lights go out 
Think I’m better now 
That I’m alone again 

Chorus 
说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 
And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now 
还是分手吧 
If this is what you are 
‘Cuz no matter what 
I’ll never be enough 
Bridge
那天晚上 
你拉住我的手 
想消失的烟火 
说你有多爱我 
这感觉就像 
流星出现 
找不到那一瞬间 
oh baby u wont know 
(yeah, yeah) 

Rap
Hundred times 
Hundred and one 
Oblivious, you crossed the line 
如果不想改变那就 
只能请你向前看 
Stop with what you gon’ say 
管你错还是对 
if a promise is broken 
没信任的基本 
That’s consequence you gotta face 
Yeah 
Think I lost my faith 
流下的泪水 
Think of the moments we shared 
The future we had 
But took it away 
真的想问 
纯粹的爱到底存不存在 
Saw your eyes 
Thought we were set but 
Guess will go down as a beautiful lie 

Chorus
说了几百遍 
一直没有变 
走的时候你说 
还想再去见一面 
tell me what are you thinking 
一直猜测 
受够了刻骨铭心 （oh no) 
And now I’m trapped in my mind 
Going insane all the time 
I just want you to be alright now
