THE LAST CHANCE

The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show


A fiery argument
But now no one is watching
We didn't meet by accident
No need to be charming

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Somehow you won all 
The mind games
Summer turned into fall
Not naming any names 
Oh no I'm not naming any names

The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

The fog will soon lift
You can't repeat a night like this
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code
It's the last chance
It's the last dance 
The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

A fiery argument
But now no one is watching
We didn't meet by accident
No need to be charming

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show 
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Somehow you won all 
The mind games
Summer turned into fall
Not naming any names 
Oh no I'm not naming any names

The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

The fog will soon lift
You can't repeat a night like this
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code
It's the last chance
It's the last dance

GREEN LIGHT

All I wanted was one night
You bound the hands of time 
I gave up without a fight
I don't care if it's a crime

I hear you're with yet another
Fading out of view
Careful what they'll uncover
In all shades of blue 

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Everything I do is in vain
I lost this game
All I can hear is the rain
Ever since you turned off my flame

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

I hear you're with yet another
Fading out of view
Careful what they'll uncover
In all shades of blue 

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

You don’t care, no, you don’t see
It's a bittersweet chase
It's a tale of three
I came last in this race

All I wanted was one night
You bound the hands of time 
I gave up without a fight
I don't care if it's a crime

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

All I can hear is the rain
Ever since the day 
You turned off my flame

I'm screaming under water
Waking up from a nightmare
Now I'm so much stronger
And you lost a love so rare

Everything I do is in vain
I lost this game
All I can hear is the rain
Ever since you turned off my flame

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

THE LAST SUNSET

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble
It's gonna cost you double
Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The final stand
Let's go all in
Drown in the quicksand
It's a surefire win

Sometimes it burns
Right on the brink
The world turns
Makes you think

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble
It's gonna cost you double
Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble
It's gonna cost you double
Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The final stand
Let's go all in
Drown in the quicksand
It's a surefire win

Sometimes it burns
Right on the brink
The world turns
Makes you think

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble
It's gonna cost you double
Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

HARD AS STEEL 

I'm losing control
Stuck in the past
Looking through the keyhole
The die has been cast

Wandering in the wilderness
How can you be so cold
I thought you were into this
You're giving up pure gold

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

Still thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

I walked away unharmed
And locked away my heart
I was totally charmed
But decided to be smart

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

I'm thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

I walked away unharmed
And locked away my heart
I was totally charmed
But decided to be smart

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

I'm headed for the border
I'm not coming back
Still thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

THE PLANETS ALIGNED 

It always hits you
When you least expect 
Yeah when you least expect

There's so many questions in the air
I thought it was pure magic
Got the thousand yard stare
Oh it's so hopelessly tragic

It's a non-winning ticket
Loaded from the start
Took me to my very limit
Now I want no part

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Why does it always hit you
When you least expect 
Need a new point of view 
I'm still the number one suspect

Wish I could stop it all
You promised me everything
I used to feel so tall
Wasn't suppose to expect anything 

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

They keep telling me to step away
You're nothing but trouble
It's make or break, all the same
It's make or break

It's a non-winning ticket
Loaded from the start
Took me to my very limit
Now I want no part

You're over there buying shots
And I'm over here calling them
Going to carry on living
And you'll carry on spinning

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Gave you my heart for safekeeping
You pushed it into a freefall
But I'm going to carry on living
And you'll carry on spinning
Can't understand this feeling
But hey it's your call 
Hey it's your call 
But hey it's your call

STOP AND THINK 

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

Everybody said don't do it
But as usual I didn't listen 
Just waiting for the next hit
Trying to find the true vision

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

You're a ticking timebomb
About to go boom!
A tornado waiting to form
In a sky full of gloom

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Barely from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Still waiting for the next hit
Am I back from the brink
Got to find my grit

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think (and think)
Barely back from the brink (from the brink)
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto (hold onto)
Reality too broken
To try to rescue (to rescue)

Everybody said don't do it 
But as usual I didn't listen (didn't listen)
Waiting for the next hit
Got to find my grit 

I've got to 
Stop and think (and think)
Yeah I've got to
Stop and think

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

Everybody said don't do it
But as usual I didn't listen 
Just waiting for the next hit
Trying to find the true vision

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

You're a ticking timebomb
About to go boom!
A tornado waiting to form
In a sky full of gloom

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Barely from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Still waiting for the next hit
Am I back from the brink
Got to find my grit

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think (and think)
Barely back from the brink (from the brink)
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto (hold onto)
Reality too broken
To try to rescue (to rescue)

Everybody said don't do it 
But as usual I didn't listen (didn't listen)
Waiting for the next hit
Got to find my grit 

I've got to 
Stop and think (and think)
Yeah I've got to
Stop and think
