Speed of Sound

If you say that you want to leave
I will let you be
Box the memories and kiss your cheek
But my heart will still beat
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Feet are flying off the ground
I’m running round, I’m running round
Faster than the speed of sound
Just call my name
Call my name, call my name, call my name
If you say that you want to leave
I will let you be
Take your T-shirt, yes I want my key
Heart on pause and repeat
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Feet are flying off the ground
I’m running round, I’m running round
Faster than the speed of sound
Call my name, call my name, call my name
Call my name, call my name, call my name
I’m scared that you’re still around
Don’t wanna loose my ground
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, Running outta breath breath
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh uhuh
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Faster than the speed of sound I’ll come around to you
Feet are flying off the ground
I’m running round, I’m running round
Faster than the speed of sound
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, Running outta breath breath
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, Love doesn’t rest rest
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, Running outta breath breath
Uhuh ehoh, uhuh ehoh, Speed of sound

Straight Talk
04:13
|
|||
Oh I’m trying
To get to where you’re going
And I know you know it
The quiet ignite
Of love swept words tiptoeing
I know you know it
I know you know it
And you know I know it
Straight talk, Hear the beating now
I know that we could be somehow
I know, we could feel it now
I know, we could feel it
Tiresome trying
To keep my heart in hiding
When I know you know it
Don’t wait too long
To find our thoughts colliding
I know you know it
I know you know it
And you know I know it
Straight talk, hear the beating now
I know that we could be somehow
I know, we could feel it now
I know, we could feel it
Here it goes, quiet your bright eyes
Here it goes, I’m always so tongue-tied
Straight talk, hear the beating now
I know that we could be somehow
I know, we could feel it now
I know, we could feel it

Feel Free
04:36
|

Suffocate your sorrow
I heard you’ve been wholly hallow
And you’ll get there, you’ll get there, I swear
Just take these pills and swallow
You wanna feel like… Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Whatchu want ain’t whatchu want
Just wanna feel… Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Sanity don’t seem so hot
Just wanna feel free, free
It takes intoxication
To ease your mind’s dictation
And you’ll get there, you’ll get there, I swear
To a world of your creation
You wanna feel like… Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Whatchu want ain’t whatchu want
Just wanna feel… Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Sanity don’t seem so hot
Just wanna feel free, free
But escaping to your world
Twisted and absurd
Won’t get ya heard
It’s a damaging phase
You’re lost in the haze
Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Whatchu want ain’t whatchu want
Just wanna feel… Oh! Uh huh
Oh! But you’re feelin’… ooooooh
Sanity don’t seem so hot
Just wanna feel free, free, free, free
So you take these pills and swallow…

Beautiful Strangers
05:23
|
|||
Rushing down the crowded street
Pushing past the veiled and vast
Stone walls and tell-alls around
Just say a word, just say a word
I’ll give you all that I can
Beautiful strangers, beautiful strangers
Beautiful strangers, I wanna know you
Future lovers under cover
Stories spill at my will
Cutting corners, breaking borders down
Just say a word, just say a word
I’ll give you all that I can
Beautiful strangers, beautiful strangers
Beautiful strangers, I wanna know you
Stranger, you’re no stranger than me
Stranger, you’re not stranger than me
Just a different story
zowwwwww zowwwwwww
mmm bey mm mmm beeeeey
Beautiful strange, beautiful strange
Beautiful strangers, I wanna know you
So many faces, faces unread

Whatchya gonna do if you’ll never be a dancer?
The fire’s in your eyes, you don’t have the answer
Oh, whatchya gonna do if you’ll never be a dancer?
I’ve been waiting for you
And whatchya gonna do if you’ll never be a rock star?
Your eyes on the prize but you lost the guitar
Say whatchya gonna do if you’ll never be a rock star?
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you
Call me a light, Call us right, Start a fight
Just call me
Call me the one, Call us done, I’ve just begun
Now call me
And whatchya gonna do if you don’t have the answer?
Your heart’s on the move, but it’s pulling an anchor
Oh, whatchya gonna do if you don’t have the answer?
See I’ve been waiting for you
Call me a light, Call us right, Start a fight
Just call me
Call me the one, Call us done, I’ve just begun
Now call me
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Call me the one, Call us done, I’ve just begun…

To the Ground
04:46
|
|||
Eye of the sculptor, don’t you complain
You’ve molded your own terrain
And you wanna stay inside your life of dismay
But I can only meet you halfway
You said, you said happiness, oh
Still waiting for it to come around
Daydreaming life as you want it
Until it all falls to the ground
And those clean little pictures on your mantle piece
They show what you think will make your life complete
But they’ll only dance for you behind closed doors
And that can't be what you’re looking for
You said, you said happiness, oh
Still waiting for it to come around
Daydreaming life as you want it
Until it all falls to the ground
But I cannot watch, my dear
No I can’t watch
You said, you said happiness, oh
Still waiting for it to come around
Daydreaming life as you want it
Until it all falls to the ground
You said, you said happiness, oh
Still waiting for it to come around
Daydreaming how you would change it
Until it all falls to the ground
Fall to the ground, fall to the ground
Fall to the ground, fall to the ground
Fall to the ground, fall to the ground

Changing Times
04:35
|
|||
Walking along, singing a new song
And I, I recall you
Broken smile and a free style
And I, can’t really define
Why you came to mind
Trying to rely
On the changing times
But I’m paralyzed here
Pictures frame us a small flame
But we were blazing
Cast to the past, memory colorfast
But are we designed to rewind?
Trying to rely
On the changing times
But I’m paralyzed here
Oooooooh ehhhh ohhhhhh
And I’ll find a reason for anything
Yes, I’ll make a reason for anything
Why I’m walking along singing a new song
And I, I recall you
Trying to rely
On the changing times
But I’m paralyzed here
Oooooooh ehhhh ohhhhhh

Bubble Wrapped Heart
03:48
|
|||
Oh, who wants to bet?
That this bubble wrapped heart
It’s not open yet
Oh, I hold a steady hand
Each and every move
So carefully planned
But you, you started a flame
Set fire to all my cards
In this lover’s game
It may not be a perfect fit
But I like the way that you kiss
It may not be a perfect pair
But I’ll let you be the king of my heart
Oh, I’ve seen love before
Felt it and I dealt it
Showed it to the door
But now I’m gonna bet it all
Just hoping that your love
Is worth the fall
It may not be a perfect fit
But I like the way that you kiss
It may not be a perfect pair
But I’ll let you be the king of my heart
Ooooooooooooh oooooooooooooh!
Win or lose, you’re who I choose
Oh, who wants to bet?
On this bubble wrapped heart
It may not be a perfect fit
But I like the way that you kiss
It may not be a perfect pair
But I’ll let you be the king
Let you be the king of my heart

Pretty Little Cage
04:37
|
|||
Once upon a time, there was she
In a pretty little cage by the sea
Puppeteered by what she feared
So she pulled some strings and cut them free
And on a clear day, she crossed that ocean
And a symphony of waves set in motion
But the skies remind of what she left behind
Just her two cents and a notion
That it’s not over, over
Over till you let it go
And grasping for pebbles and sand
The moment slipped right her hands
Palms to the ground, what you thought was sound
But this orb is ever turning, burning, yearning
And it’s not over, over
Over till you let it go
And with a seaside breeze she’d get the chill
Of sifting through the past, thinking still
Of painted eyes and silent goodbyes
Yea, once in a while I’ll get that chill
But it’s not over, over
Over till you let it…
Ahhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhhhhh, ahhhh
Don’t let it go

Someday/Monday
03:39
|
|||
You try to creep outta your sleep
Raise your eyes to the sunshine
Empty bed and words unsaid
But I’m just a, just a heartbeat away
Cause I know your story, you know mine
And our paths, they may intertwine
Again, someday, someway… on Monday
You’ll take a walk down your block
To a shop where you’ll stop
It’s a routine that I’ve seen
You’ll sit and sip your double shot café
And I’m just a, just a heartbeat away
Cause I know your story, you know mine
And our paths, they may intertwine
Again, someday, someway… on Monday
I’ll sneak in intently
We’ll meet incidentally
I’ll act sentimentally
Oh it’s so elementary
I never, ever know what to say
But I’m just a, just a (boomboom boomboom) away
Cause I know your story, you know mine
And our paths, they may intertwine
Again, someday… on Monday

Colorblind
04:37
|

Sun been up for hours
Crawling cross this earth
Are you sleeping still?
I wonder, I wonder
Or are you restless too
A canvas not yet used
Just color me your mood
Cause I wonder, I wonder oh
I wonder…
Oooooh, Oooooh
Got me colorblind, c-colorblind
Oooooh, Oooooh
Colorblind, ha ha
Sun been shining down
Orange and red rays found
A face inside the crowd
Does he wonder, I wonder, oh
Like I wonder
Oooooh, Oooooh
Got me colorblind, c-colorblind
Oooooh, Oooooh
Colorblind, ha ha
I am full of cautious yellow
For your white noise lies
Green with envy, pink with laughter
Drawing outside the lines
Black and blue but pushing through
To the light I had
These overwhelming tangled feelings
I must be mad
Oooooh, Oooooh
Got me colorblind, c-colorblind
Oooooh, Oooooh
Colorblind, ha ha

Teardrop
04:29
|

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Ah ha haooo ah ha haooo ah ha haaaaa
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Ah ha haooo ah ha haooo ah ha haaaaa
Ah ha haooo ah ha haooo ah ha haaaaa
Stumbling a little, stumbling a little, stumbling a little bit
Stumbling a little, stumbling a little, stumbling a little bit
I’m just stumbling a little, stumbling a little, stumbling a little bit
I’m stumbling a little, I’m just stumbling a little, stumbling a little bit
On a confession
A teardrop on the fire
