STRAWBERRY DREAMS

Remember that time
Under the starlight
Whispered dreams 
Till the morning light

Just riding on these
Shimmering love waves
Sunny days ahead
Let all the worries fade

Strawberry dreams
With a cherry on top
Feel the warm summer breeze
I never want to stop
Sailing the seven seas
Feel the beat drop
Yeah, I never want to stop

Your laugh's like music
My soul takes flight
This is such a classic
Hold on tight

With you by my side
I'm forever mesmerised
Your heart's my guide
I've got every smile memorised

Strawberry dreams
With a cherry on top
Feel the warm summer breeze
I never want to stop
Sailing the seven seas
Feel the beat drop
Yeah, I never want to stop

Remember that time
Under the starlight
Whispered dreams till
The morning light

Your laugh's like music
My soul takes flight
This is such a classic
Hold on tight

Strawberry dreams
With a cherry on top
Feel the warm summer breeze
I never want to stop
Sailing the seven seas
Feel the beat drop

Strawberry dreams
With a cherry on top
Feel the warm summer breeze
I never want to stop
Sailing the seven seas
Feel the beat drop
Yeah, I never want to stop

ALREADY GONE

Is it lonely on your cloud nine
Holding onto your dreams
You were mine
Then it all fell apart at the seams 

You said come with me
Loved so hard
Then left me adrift at sea
Cut with a diamond shard

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Yesterday's news

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Never lit the fuse

What's left of you and me
At the end of the day
Faded photos and a plea
Under a sky so grey

Do you still wish
We could turn back time
Go back to the beginning
And start a new rhyme

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Yesterday's news

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Never lit the fuse

I know it's lonely on your cloud nine
No longer mine
Loved so hard
Cut with a diamond shard

Adrift at sea
Now there's only 
Faded photos and a plea
Left of you and me

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Yesterday's news

Already gone
Without a word
Already gone
Without being heard
Never lit the fuse

Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone

THE POISONED WELL

I've been burning 
The midnight oil
It's so complicated
Wasn't ready for the recoil

Your luck was down
Then the rumours started
Holding onto your crown
I was too cold-hearted

Had a taste of the poisoned well
The secrets came undone
You've got nothing left to sell
For a while I was the one 

All those wasted years
Felt like a lifetime
Where's the end of the tears
Do you still wish you were mine

I got nothing I deserved
The last chapter remains unwritten
In the night I observed
Somehow I always get burned

Did you look out of the window
When I left
It felt as if the whole world ended
I didn't turn to check

Had a taste of the poisoned well
The secrets came undone
You've got nothing left to sell
For a while I was the one 

All those wasted years
Felt like a lifetime
Where's the end of the tears
Do you still wish you were mine

Burn the midnight oil
Get ready for the recoil
Hold onto your crown
When they let you down (let you down)

I always get burned
Got nothing I deserved
Did you look when I left
I didn't turn to check

Had a taste of the poisoned well
The secrets came undone
You've got nothing left to sell
For a while I was the one 

All those wasted years
Felt like a lifetime
Where's the end of the tears
Do you still wish you were mine

Had a taste of the poisoned well
The secrets came undone
You've got nothing left to sell
For a while I was the one 

All those wasted years
Felt like a lifetime
Where's the end of the tears
Do you still wish you were mine
Yeah, do you still wish
You were mine

MIDNIGHT TALKS

The curse of life
Of what might've been
The regrets of time
And all I haven't seen 

Now you're someone else's
I'm still losing sleep
Stuck in the maybe
In my thoughts so deep

We were written in the stars
But I never looked up
We were midnight talks
And all the long walks
We were written in the stars
I never looked up
But I'm always waiting 
I'm always waiting

What could we have built
On this fragile thread
The story remains unwritten
In yesterday's stardust we tread

You still call me
We both know it's wrong
I'm trying not to pick up
Scared of the swan song

We were written in the stars
But I never looked up
We were midnight talks
And all the long walks 
We were written in the stars
I never looked up
But I'm always waiting 
I'm always waiting

The regrets of time
And all I have seen
I'm losing sleep
In my thoughts so deep

The curse of life
Who knows what might've been
Scared of the swan song
It's all so wrong

We were written in the stars
But I never looked up
We were midnight talks
And all the long walks 
We were written in the stars
I never looked up
I'm always waiting 
I'm always waiting

A SHOT IN THE DARK

Were you swept off your feet
Or was it all just to pass the time
Were you looking for some heat
Ready to commit the crime

Sweet nothings in the night
I fell for it all
Are you gonna make it right
Or just watch me fall

It was a shot in the dark
I thought we could make it
You left your aching mark
Now my eyes are unlit
Shot in the dark
Yeah, it was a shot in the dark
And I still can't quit

I still see your face in the starlight
Every day is stuck on repeat
The reckless feeling ignites
Holding onto shadows I can’t defeat

The room goes cold
Tell me, do you feel it in the air
I keep reaching for something to hold
Getting ready for the last prayer

It was a shot in the dark
I thought we could make it
You left your aching mark
Now my eyes are unlit
Shot in the dark
It was a shot in the dark
And I still can't quit

Were you looking for some heat
I fell for it all
Committed the crime
You just watched me fall

All the shadows I can’t defeat
Can you feel the cold air
Stuck on repeat
I'm ready for the last prayer

It was a shot in the dark
I thought we could make it
You left your aching mark
Now my eyes are unlit

It was a shot in the dark
I thought we could make it
You left your aching mark
Now my eyes are unlit
Shot in the dark
Yeah, it was a shot in the dark
And I still can't quit

THE WRONG ONES 

The eyes said it all
Let's have one last talk
Before we hit a wall
And I turn away and walk

Is it already done and buried
Reset the clock
How can it now be nothing
When it was as solid as a rock

You lost this battle 
I'm gonna win the war
The wrong ones
Are always the ones I adore
The devil's in the details
The wicked smiles
Unfinished stories
And the secret files 

It's bad for the soul
Not holding my breath
It's taken it's toll
Died a little death

Wanted it too badly 
Stayed longer than I planned
Was in love madly
All the gestures were so grand

You lost this battle 
I'm gonna win the war
The wrong ones
Are always the ones I adore
The devil's in the details
The wicked smiles
Unfinished stories
And the secret files 

Forever replaying moments
That are already done
The darkest whispers
What have I won

Finally we hit a wall
No choice but to walk
It's done and buried
Now I've heard it all

You lost this battle 
I'm gonna win the war

You lost this battle 
I'm gonna win the war
The wrong ones
Are always the ones I adore
The devil's in the details
The wicked smiles
Unfinished stories
And the secret files

FIRE AT WILL

The neon signs bleed through the haze
Nobody's going anywhere
We're all running from something 
Drowning in the weight of the air

Tell me is there a way out
Screaming without a sound
Look at the walking dead
Holding the ashes of the lives never led

We're drinking all night
Come and get your fill
This town is full of strangers
Fire at will

These walls have heard a thousand lies
Desperate souls with empty eyes
More lows than highs
Yeah 
More lows than highs 

The face in the mirror doesn't look like me
Is this what it's like to feel nothing at all
Too close to the edge of the void
Be ready for the final fall

Every broken heart is in here
The fake smiles glow in borrowed light
Just ghosts pretending to be alive
Telling tall tales in the endless night

Fire at will, fire at will
Burn it all, burn it all
Fire at will, fire at will
We're all going down
Oh, yeah
We're all going down

We're drinking all night
Come and get your fill
This town is full of strangers
Fire at will 

These walls have heard a thousand lies
Desperate souls with empty eyes

We're drinking all night
Come and get your fill
This town is full of strangers
Fire at will

These walls have heard a thousand lies
Desperate souls with empty eyes
More lows than highs 
Yeah
More lows than highs

COUNT TO THREE 

Why don't you pour one more drink
And tell me your point of view
There's no time to think
Are you asking me to fly with you

Your lips taste like regret and mint
Wrapped up in times gone past
Let me give you a hint
It's not going to last

One, two - count to three
Get ready to be free
Is your dream mine too
Are you being true
Or just waiting for someone to save you
When the seas get rough
When they're calling your bluff 

You should know by now
All the songs are about us
Have to leave somehow
There's nothing to discuss

It was the best thing
A wish come true
I expected a ring
But somehow I just knew

One, two - count to three
Get ready to be free
Is your dream mine too
Are you being true
Or just waiting for someone to save you
When the seas get rough
When they're calling your bluff 

No time to think
But let's have another drink
It's not going to last
Let go off the past

There's nothing to discuss
Yeah, the songs were about us
My wishes came true
But somehow I just knew

One, two - count to three
Get ready to be free
Is your dream mine too
Are you being true
Or just waiting for someone to save you

One, two - count to three
Get ready to be free
Is your dream mine too
Are you being true
Or just waiting for someone to save you
When the seas get rough
When they're calling your bluff

STOP AT NOTHING

Can I borrow some 
Of your thunder 
Expose my jet black heart
And go under

The ice starts cracking
Opens old scars
Don't go backtracking
Lost under the stars

Tell me one more time
Everything's gonna be fine 
It's been a long time coming
I will stop at nothing
Oh, yeah 
One more time
Stop at nothing

We were fire once
Burned so bright
Now we're just strangers
In the longest night

Maybe letting go 
Was just the start
Of finding my way back 
To your heart

Tell me one more time
Everything's gonna be fine 
It's been a long time coming
I will stop at nothing
Oh, yeah 
One more time
Stop at nothing

The last time we spoke
Turned pain into power
My whole world broke 
Can you hear the silent hour

I can see the signs
Flash of light in a clear sky
I've paid all the fines
Now I'm flying high

Tell me one more time
Everything's gonna be fine 
It's been a long time coming
I will stop at nothing
Oh, yeah 

Tell me one more time
Everything's gonna be fine 
It's been a long time coming
I will stop at nothing
Oh, yeah 
One more time
Stop at nothing

COME WHAT MAY

Struck it while it was hot
You broke me but kept on playing
I had my shot
No point in praying 

I find myself outside your door
Even though I try to resist it
Looking to even the score
As much as my heart will permit

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted days
The burning air
You had it your way

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted nights
The rain and the dares
I always said come what may

I saw you standing there
Across the room
Middle of attention
Ready for all the doom

Were you coming or going
Looking for validation
Smile so mind-blowing
Otherworldly creation

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted days
The burning air
You had it your way

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted nights
The rain and the dares
I always said come what may

I had my shot
No point in praying 
You knew you broke me 
But kept on playing

Can I ever even the score
What will my heart permit
Looking for validation
Otherwordly creation

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted days
The burning air
You had it your way

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted nights
The rain and the dares
I always said come what may

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted days
The burning air
You had it your way

From dreams to nightmares
All the wasted nights
The rain and the dares
I always said come what may
Yeah, come what may
