It’s a cold, dark night, We’re sipping tea 
Hoping to feel warm again 

The old cartons are packed and the candy jar is empty 
Where did you go?

Suddenly you and I are nothing, nothing but the past 
We feel the storm coming in and we don’t know how long its going to last 
So where do we go tonight? 

We fell apart, right back to the start 
Our thoughts numb, our hands tied 
Yet we spread our broken wings to fly 

Where did you go? 

We try to see the world, through rose tinted glass 
But our hearts lay down like autumn leaves 
The promises we made, the dreams we had 
We watch them fade away 


Where Did You Go?

Music and Lyrics : Chayan & Smiti

A cry is what you begin life with, and through all the ups and downs, you see only what you'd appreciate. The Journey of life can only really begin, with the first step, or can it?

Lyrics
Should've known, should've known
Exactly what she was saying.
She didn't know, didn't know
How much attention he was paying
He was distracted by
Something else that crossed his mind.

So she went up to him and said "What's the problem, boy?"
And he said, "Sorry ma'am but I was busy.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Many years went by
She was the girl he always wanted
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted
She was distracted by every other guy around

So he went up to her and said, "Babe, won't you be mine?"
And she said, "Sorry, honey. You must be.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through.
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than 'being a man' to see
Just what a dreamer could do
But he never knew that

There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him
He strummed his guitar 
And all the people, they screamed for him
He never thought that he'd be loved for
Just what he did best

So when he sang, he sang about 
All that he'd been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

He was busy
Dreaming 
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming

This guy that I met last week said, “I’ll show you around if you come with me,
If you come with me”
He said, “I do think that it’s a pity,
You live alone in this big bad city,
Would you like some company?
I’ll show you around if you come with me
I’ll show you around if you come with me”

And he said, “Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said, “Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”

He said, “I’ll show you around if you come with me, yea
Take you out, treat you like a lady,
Buy you things that you’ve never seen”
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy in a poor girl dream, singing,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said, 
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”

But baby, I’m on my own
In a city I don’t call home
There’s already so much that I find thrilling!
And even if you get on your knees,
I’m never gonna give in with ease
So go find someone wild and willing!
Yea, yea, yea

He said, “I’ll show you around and I’ll treat you well
I’ll put you under my spell
Then I’ll break you and your self-esteem”
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy’s a poor girl’s dream
A rich boy in a poor girl dream, singing,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”

And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”
And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?”

And he said,
“Hey there, pretty baby
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?”

Poor Girl's Dream

Kaha hai is an easy listening, acoustic single about the memories, or the future; someone is looking for with someone. It constantly reminds him/her the time they spent together and further hope/wish to spend together.

Kaha Hai - Vasu Raina

'Lead' is the first single from Tejas' upcoming sophomore album, 'Outlast'.

Lyrics:

I've never known another way to be,
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
Instead of dreaming I can't get no sleep,
I'm sorry Mary I can't be your sheep

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

Do I have the legs to stand on my two feet?
Right the wrongs that hold back legacy,
When I'm under pressure do I have the lungs to scream?
Hold my pride and rise to let them see I was never ordinary

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

No I'll 
No I'll never know
Show me where I've got lead
