Running in a new direction Waiting for a train to come Down the tracks Sitting for hours at a time Thoughts travelling through my mind Then you say the words I knew you would All this time I knew you could Making my heart beat faster Eyes are open we are timeless Can we dance to a new tune And put our words to a new use Are you there Single minutes are passing Are you aware Every second is dragging Are you prepared Don't you know that I want in Only time will tell Only time will tell A resolution for a new start Waiting for the starting gun The race was won Too much time on my hands Always trying to make a stand Then you say the words I knew you would All this time I knew you could Making my heart beat faster Eyes are open we are timeless Can we dance to a new tune And put our words to a new use Are you there Single minutes are passing Are you aware Every second is dragging Are you prepared Don't you know that I want in Only time will tell Only time will tell Instrumental Making my heart beat faster Eyes are open we are timeless Can we dance to a new tune And put our words to a new use Are you there Single minutes are passing Are you aware Every second is dragging Are you prepared Don't you know that I want in Only time will tell Only time will tell

Every word You've got me listening And every touch You have me shivering And all my emotions Are tied in with yours And all my devotion It lies with you Pull me closer in And I will fade into your skin Pull me closer in And I will fade into your skin When I look into your eyes I feel this every time And when I see you smile Something happens deep inside and I want to waste my time Just looking at you for a while Cos I just cant believe, I cant believe you're mine Every thought Leads straight back to you And every step I take I take it carefully Cos I don't want to lose you No I could never lose you Pull me closer in And I will fade into your skin Pull me closer in And I will fade into your skin When I look into your eyes I feel this every time And when I see you smile Something happens deep inside and I want to waste my time Just looking at you for a while Cos I just cant believe, I cant believe you're mine Cant believe that your mine I know you wont believe me and I know you won't believe me and I know you won't believe me But I know Every word is true And every thought is you And every second's new Cos I'm in love with you When I look into your eyes I feel this every time And when I see you smile Something happens deep inside and I want to waste my time Just looking at you for a while Cos I just cant believe, I cant believe you're mine Cant believe that your mine So pull me closer in Pull me closer in And I will fade into your, fade into your skin Pull me closer in

I feel I'm wasting, wasting my time Wishing you were like me After all I'm not featured in what you see So play your games Look at your pictures On your TV screen And you can criticise all you please But I'm not going to change So I guess this will go your way And I was being naiive To think you could be like me But I'm still working on the fashion To live up to your expectations Of what's critically perfection But then it changes How am I supposed to mention How I feel if its means nothing I wont change a thing for you Cos its not what you'd do Collect your trinkets and your trophies When they've all lost their shine Scatter them behind you But leave me out of your design Cast off the past In with the new And out with the old Your always looking for the best And what you have you put on hold You live your life with so much to lose Well I feel sorry for you No value no worth And with nothing left to choose And I'm still working on the fashion To live up to your expectations Of what's critically perfection But then it changes How am I supposed to mention How I feel if its means nothing I wont change a thing for you Cos its not what you'd do Does it worry you in any way That you might just feel the same Does it worry you in any way That you might just feel the same And does it scare you in every way That I know you feel the same Cos we're all working on the fashion To live up to the expectations Of what's critically perfection But then it changes How are we supposed to mention How we feel if its means nothing We wont change a thing for you Cos its not what you'd do We wont change a thing for you Cos its not what you'd do

The tip of your tongue Your teeth and your lips that builds you up to this Has your ego left the stage now Your two faced mind Is taking up my time But your still fine With your little lies Go find Somewhere else to play now You give you take You push yourself away And hold your head up high Made yourself think you were right And all the people that you let down You cant turn their lives around Go find Somewhere else to play now Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh Go find Somewhere else, somewhere else, Somewhere else Go find Somewhere else to play now The fire is burning in your soul These castle walls are falling down And this is your choice not mine In the details of your mind Who knows what you'll find Go find Somewhere else to play now Your baggy jumpers and your skinny jeans Makes them fall at your knees Your baggy jumpers and your skinny jeans Your selfish words and your silly schemes Makes them fall at your knees But its all in your dreams Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh Go find Somewhere else, somewhere else, Somewhere else Go find Somewhere else to play now Somewhere else to play now You wont have it your own way now Somewhere else to play now Somewhere else to play now Ohhhhhhhhhh

Let You Go 04:36
Your face is white tonight Had to see me say goodbye for the last time Don't have to cry but I might Seeing what I'd done to you What I put you through and yours eyes are wide Filling with tears and questions I left behind And you couldn't find So now you're asking Was it her Was it love Was it tears Was it trust Was it me And everything you see Was it sex Was it lust Was it looks Was it trust Was it him And all you constrained from me I don't want you I don't love you I don't need you But I do When I talk to you Its like feelings come and go Like the wildest winter flow When I talk to you Its like heaven's meeting hell How do I break this spell A constant fear that you'll ask me A constant fear that you'll stop asking Was it her Was it love Was it tears Was it trust Was it me And everything you see Was it sex Was it lust Was it looks Was it trust Was it him And all you constrained from me I don't want you I don't love you I don't need you But I do I don't want you I don't love you I don't need you But I do So much So much It scares me to the bone That I haven't let you go And now you're asking Was it her Was it love Was it tears Was it trust Was it me And everything you see Was it sex Was it lust Was it looks Was it trust Was it him And all you constrained from me I don't want you I don't love you I don't need you But I do I don't want you I don't love you I don't need you But I do So much So much It scares me to the bone That i haven't let you go It scares me to the bone That i haven't let you know
