Goodnight I said to you goodnight
Dream of all the impossible

And you wake you see
That all these dreams aren't fake
There real
Not impossible

Believe you'll be alright
Sad things you keep inside
So go tell me whats its like
Tell me what you like apart when you dream

. . .


Free from it all
I’m not gona change till I want to
And I’m Free from it all
I’m not gona change till I want to

By the way she looked I should have calmed down
I went too far, oh o
That’s all Ive got to say
By the way she looked I should have calmed down
I went too far, oh o
That’s all Ive got to say

Free from it all
I’m not gona change till I want to
And I’m Free from it all
Where ive built too many walls

By the way she looked I should have calmed down
I went too far, oh o
That’s all Ive got to say
By the way she looked I should have calmed down
I went too far, oh o
I went too far

. . .


Won't you go back to where you go?
I want you to, forever no
These guys have all got problems
These guys have all got their problems

Today, you've come now go away
I know it gets so confusing
Sometimes it all seems to drag me down
And when I'm getting closer
So close, everything just falls apart

When will you stop and see me through
There's something else I'd rather do
Although you're getting angry
I know everyone gets a star

Today, you've come now go away
I know it gets so confusing
Sometimes it all seems to drag me down
And when I'm getting closer
So close, everything just falls apart

. . .


I wonder, wondering all around this big place I live
She was scared to go outside when it once felt so nice...to me

Picked up a smoke then you drag a little
I wanna choke so you won't belittle
Everyone knows that you do over and over over and over again

Your pretty wont you come play with me
This time I be nice
You can't trust what I say to you
I know there all lies
Do you?

And if you ever had to
I would be going strong
What in the world was happening?
Dear can't I be wrong?

Picked up a smoke then you drag a little
I wanna choke so you won't belittle

Everyone knows that she'll do over and over over and over again

. . .


There are things I could've told you
There's a time and a place
Where my words, would allow me
To say what I want change

Dont let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh

There are birds all around me
There were flowers pressed to my face
And in time you will forget me
And I'll try and do the same

Dont let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

It's been years since I saw you
But each day I see your face
And in time you will remind me,
that I wish were the same
Dont let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

. . .


Though it took me by surprise
One by one I realized
There was something I could do

I lost my way.
That's what she said
Back to the 101
If we don't know
Somewhere to go
Back to the 101

I never said to feel relaxed
I never said to love me back
What was I next to you?

In my mind it all goes back
Lost control of what I had
All my thoughts left one by one

I lost my way.
That's what she said
Back to the 101
Back to the one
I never won
Back to the 101

I count the one
I count the one
I count the one oh one

I know (I count the one)
I lost (I count the one)
My way (I count the one oh one)

This time (I count the one)
We'll find (I count the one)
A place (I count the one oh one)

I know (I count the one)
I lost (I count the one)
My way (I count the one oh one)

This time (I count the one)
We'll find (I count the one)
A place (I count the one oh one)

Once I was told
That a boy caught a cold
And he left to go home to get some sleep instead

His baby stayed where she was
I go talk to her 'cause
I wanna sleep with her

And you will only hold me
If I will never tell you it would end
And you will never have me
Cause you were only wanting to be friends
And you will always hold out till he gave out

Now that his back
I'm afraid that you go back to his bed
Where I know he try to keep you

Well I'm well aware of what she does
She won't leave me because I sleep with her

And you will only hold me
If I will never tell you it would end
And you will never have me
Cause you were only wanting to be friends
And you will always hold out till he gave out

La la la la la

. . .


You know that something inside of you
Still plays a part in what i do, always
I'm here for you
I think that if we were all we had
That's more than most people ever have, anyway
Oh anyway, you can stay here

I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everybody
I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everything
I know you're still there because you're scared

I'm here if you're scared to go through
Anything just reach out in front of you, always
Won't you stay near
So close we played it as if we cared
Don't stop now that we're almost there, anyway
Oh i'm here for you

I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everybody
I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everything
I know you're still there because you're scared

I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everybody
I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everything

I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everybody
I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everything

I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everybody
I know you're still there because you're scared that you'll lose everything
I know you're still there because you're scared

. . .


Wake up, months of change have fucked me up

I got the brakes
I got the brakes

Your laughter takes me from disaster to tears
Are washed away, on holiday

(Come on)

Jamaica, oo I'm gonna take you away
On holiday, on holiday
Our problems, time will have to solve them someday
On holiday, on holiday

Warm sun tells me that its more fun to stay
On holiday, on holiday

. . .


Well its hard to live, its hard to live in the city
Yes its hard to live, so hard to live in the city

I've been following you for blocks and I wish you would stop and tell me your name
But I couldn't understand what you told me as you ran away

So just lay your head down low,
Don't let anybody know
That its hard to live, its hard to live in the city
Yes its hard to live, its hard to live in the city

There's something about you that I couldnt tell
And you were always crazy
And I don't like that

There's something about you, that I knew so well
Tell those questions I have no answers
I wish that I could sit in the sun

So just lay your head down low,
Don't let anybody know
That its hard to live, its hard to live in the city
Yes its hard to live, so hard to live in the city

What are you asking?
No need for walking out
You took all I could keep
You couldn't tell me the look was on your face
I think that we have left

Tell those questions I have no answers
I wish that I could sit in the sun
