LYRICS

You + Me In The Summer                 

Take me dancing
Out on the sand
This time it’s easy
It’s in our hands 

It was you + me in the summer 
Just like another world
It was you + me in the summer 
The best I’ve ever known

Kiss me slowly
The waves come rushing in
As long as you hold me
The days will never end

It was you + me in the summer 
Just like another world
It was you + me in the summer 
The best I’ve ever known (repeat)

I think about you
The sunlight on your skin
I miss the memories
The moments we have lived

It was you + me in the summer 
Just like another world
It was you + me in the summer 
The best I’ve ever known (repeat)

The sun is falling
It sinks into the sea
The season’s calling
I’ll see you in my sleep
I’ll see you in my sleep

It was you + me in the summer 
Just like another world
It was you + me in the summer 
The best I’ve ever known (repeat)

LYRICS

Perfect Plan                                         Lyrics by Shannon Hurley

I heard the news
They say you’re coming back
It’s such a shame 
The way that you lost track
Of the places you’ve been
And covered up in silence

You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)
You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)

I’ll change my words 
I know just what to say
Erase the hurt 
And take away the blame
Cuz I know that you’re lies
Are covered up in silence

You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)
You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)

Cuz I know that you’re lies
Are covered up in silence

You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)
You’ll never get away
(My Perfect Plan)
You’ll never get away
(Of this I’m certain)

LYRICS

I know you're out there 
Holding on
You've been believing 
Far too long
I can't stay
To hold your ground
I know you’re worried
You’re turned around
Feeling dizzy 
From the crowd
You’ll find a way to do without

You’ll lose your heart
But it’s your life you’ll say
Lay down your armor
And just walk away
It’s time to move on
To another day
Ooh that’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes

You see the headlines
You read the news
But it don’t feel right
To hear the truth
You can’t change
The past is gone

You’ll lose your heart
But it’s your life you’ll say
Lay down your armor
And just walk away
It’s time to move on
To another day
Ooh that’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes

That's The Way It Goes

Here And Now

Break the rules that you were taught
Forget your fear and live for once
Let the other people stare
Why should you care
I feel the fire in your heart 
Burning like the brightest star
All it takes is a spark
To light up the dark

Whatever comes tomorrow and every day that follows 
It's gonna be you and me
We'll get through it our own way
We've got what it takes
Love is all we need

Nothing's gonna hold us down
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Love is gonna turn us around
We celebrate the here and now

Nothing's gonna hold us down
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Love is gonna turn us around
We celebrate the here and now

Speak up loud, don't be afraid
We weren't meant to live that way
Spread the love that's in your heart
And make your mark

Whatever comes tomorrow and every day that follows 
It's gonna be you and me
We'll get through it our own way
We've got what it takes
Love is all we need

Nothing's gonna hold us down
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Love is gonna turn us around
We celebrate the here and now

Nothing's gonna hold us down
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Love is gonna turn us around
We celebrate the here and now

Love is lifting us to higher ground
Lifting us to higher ground
I feel the walls coming down
The future is now

Whatever comes tomorrow and every day that follows 
It's gonna be you and me
We'll get through it our own way
We've got what it takes
Love is all we need

Nothing's gonna hold us down
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Love is gonna turn us around
We celebrate the here and now
Here and now
We celebrate the here and now
Here and now
Nothing's gonna hold us down
We celebrate the here and now
Here and now

Keep Breaking My Heart

I know who you are
I know where you’ve been
It happens again and again
Sooner or later
We tear it up
But it’s not the end
No it’s not the end

Keep breaking my heart
Keep breaking my heart

We’re going in circles
It’s always the same
We keep hanging around 
How much more can we take
Sooner or later
We tear it apart
But it’s not the end
No it’s not the end

Keep breaking my heart
Keep breaking my heart

It’s only a few tears
I say to myself
But I know the story 
I know you too well
Sooner or later
It all falls apart
But it’s not the end
No it’s not the end

Keep breaking my heart
Keep breaking my heart

Sugar High

Tangled and twisted 
You know I can’t resist it
When you call my name
Don’t care if I falter 
My world has been altered
You’re messing with my fate
I shouldn’t care about you
But I do, I’m such a fool

All that remains is a humming in my brain
It’s you that I crave
That sugar high honey, that keeps me running 
A buzzing in my brain that’s driving me insane
Inject into my veins
That sugar high honey that keeps me running to you.

The rope’s getting tighter
the flame’s getting higher
I’m turning in this bed
It’s closing in on midnight
I’m walking a thin line
You’re racing through my head
I shouldn’t care about you
But I do, I’m such a fool

All that remains is a humming in my brain
It’s you that I crave
That sugar high honey, that keeps me running 
A buzzing in my brain that’s driving me insane
Inject into my veins
That sugar high honey that keeps me running to you.


All that remains is a humming in my brain
It’s you that I crave
That sugar high honey, that keeps me running 
A buzzing in my brain that’s driving me insane
Inject into my veins
That sugar high honey that keeps me running 
That sugar high honey that keeps me running 
That sugar high honey that keeps me running 
That sugar high honey that keeps me running 
That sugar high honey that keeps me running

LYRICS
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence reveals
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Give no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
