New Disguise 03:36
Is something on your mind? There’s a new disguise Better than before, better than before. Too much of the same thing all the time Stands out and it feels like you’re trying So hard to fit in right So, stand up if it feels like There’s something on your mind, There’s a new design. Better than before, better than before. Too much of the same thing all the time Stands out and it feels like you’re trying So hard to fit in right So, stand up if it feels like you’re trying. I don’t wanna give up yet I don’t wanna give up yet. Love, is this love? Hoping to be Love, a little love. Hoping to see Love, love, love, love, love. Love, love, love, love, love Hoping to be. Too much of the same thing all the time Stands out and it feels like you’re trying So hard to fit in right So, stand up if it feels like. Stand up if it feels like You’re trying. Love, is this love? Love, is this love? There’s a new disguise. Love, love, love, love, love.

Follow Me 02:58
When you call from the maze Say you’ve been gone, and lost for days I hear you speak, but the words are faint Signal’s weak and your voice fades I won’t let tragedy hang over me Won’t let anyone decide There ain’t anything that I won’t do Just to have you by my side Follow me, and I’ll follow you Through old and bright, the dark and new Fall on me, and I’ll fall on you We all get lost sometimes Follow Me Follow Me The walls are tall You don’t feel brave Try to climb and find a way Then I see you reaching out There’s that twinkle in your eye, I dream about I won’t let tragedy hang over me Won’t let anyone decide There ain’t anything that I won’t do Just to have you by my side Follow me, and I’ll follow you Through old and bright, the dark and new Fall on me, and I’ll fall on you We all get lost sometimes Follow Me Follow Me Yeah Follow Me Hey! Follow Me Follow, Follow Follow me, and I’ll follow you Through old & bright, the dark and new Fall on me, and I’ll fall on you We all get lost sometimes Follow me, and I’ll follow you Follow me, and I’ll follow you Follow me, and I’ll follow you Follow me, and I’ll follow you Follow me, and I’ll follow you Follow me, and I’ll follow you

One of the freedoms you all should believe in Is we all can make our own path. From the minute we wake up to the second we see him You always can learn from the past. Memories are places you’ve been to. Feelings are seasons that change. What’s life when it all stays the same? If the world was bliss We would not insist We’re the catalyst This is why we cry Metamorphosis tonight Tonight. Often life’s blessings are taken for granted And time can slip on by. We should own what we live for, Shine bright and give more You always can swallow your pride. Memories with people who’ve loved you Friendships are seasons that change. What’s life when it all stays the same? If the world was bliss We would not insist We’re the catalyst This is why we cry Metamorphosis tonight Tonight. Metamorphosis tonight Tonight. If the world was bliss We would not insist We’re the catalyst This is why we cry Metamorphosis tonight Tonight, tonight. If the world was bliss We would not insist We’re the catalyst This is why we cry Metamorphosis tonight Tonight.

Never again, will I ever write you Send you a song, change it reply to All the things I mean and need to say. Take out the words hear only the melody, Focus on feel, that’s the remedy to anything you’ll ever want to be. Don’t let your soul rise up to fade away. And when your memory comes storming back to me You’ll be a burning light for all of us to see, All of us to see, all of us to see. Never again, will I ever call you Send you a line, fix it and break through. All the things I mean and need to say. Let go of your mind and all that you’ve been through, Hold up to the fire, for all who can see you Shaping up to someone you should be. Don’t let your soul rise up to fade away. And when your memory comes storming back to me You’ll be a burning light for all of us to see, All of us to see, all of us to see. Never gonna change. Never want to stop. Never gonna change the way i feel. Don’t let your soul rise up to fade away. And when your memory comes storming back to me You’ll be a burning light for all of us to see, All of us to see, all of us to see.

I woke up in Calgary Where do I go now? In the middle of nowhere Is where I’ll always be found. Endless stretch of highway With you in my head. It’s tough being together, Sleeping in an empty bed. It’s up to you Will you walk out, just disappear? It’s up to you, you You know how I feel. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, for me. I woke up beside you Where do we go now? ‘Cause in the beginning There was never a doubt. I wish I was staying But, I have to go. I picture this moment On my way to Ontario. It’s up to you Will you walk out, just disappear? It’s up to you, you You know how I feel. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, for me. Can we start over again? Then we won’t have to pretend. After all that’s been said, The scenes play back in my head. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, for me. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, honey. Leave the lights on, for me. Ever changing Ever waiting Ever changing Ever wasting time. Leave the lights on, baby. Leave the lights on, now. Leave the lights on, for me. Leave the lights on, now.

Ghost Town 03:10
When are you coming back again? Into the darkness, ‘round the bend. Is it true, you will always be Making up time when you’re holding me? There’s a lot out there, But, don’t be scared. There’s a lot out there, But, don’t be scared. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. When are you coming back again? Into the silence, ‘round the bend. Is it true, you will always be Making up time when you’re holding me? There’s a lot out there, But, don’t be scared. There’s a lot to see. So, show me. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. We go miles, miles, miles, miles! In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. In a ghost town, on the way down As you’re smiling back at me. You will always be a fond memory

Spellbound 03:57
When we’re hopeless with love, It’s all we think of, Will our hearts ever fade? We’re made for each other, Let’s live forever. Will our hearts ever fade? Let’s keep turning pages And watch our faces Change with everyday. Spellbound Up in the clouds Your vision, pulls me under. Spellbound Love is so loud Collisions, heavy thunder. Spellbound Spelbound When we’re tired and broken, Closer to heaven Will our hearts start to fade? When we can no longer Hold it together Will our hearts start to fade? Let’s keep turning pages And watch our faces Change with everyday. Spellbound Up in the clouds Your vision, pulls me under. Spellbound Love is so loud Collisions, heavy thunder. Spellbound Spelbound Spellbound When we’re hopeless with love, It’s all we think of Will our hearts ever fade? Let’s keep turning pages, And watch our faces. Spellbound Up in the clouds Your vision, pulls me under. Spellbound Love is so loud Collisions, heavy thunder. Spellbound Spelbound Spellbound

Gravity 03:54
Riding on a carousel Summer wind in your hair Your eyes were so magical, And I shoulda told you there. Where have you gone? What have I done? This hurts, this hurts me Fills my heart, full of mercury. The weight, it carries Rips it apart, And makes it too heavy The memories Have gravity Gravity. Drifting through a movie scene I hear your laugh again Even if it was a dream, I shoulda told you then. Where have you gone? What have I done? This hurts, this hurts me Fills my heart, full of mercury. The weight, it carries Rips it apart, And makes it too heavy The memories Have gravity Gravity. I loved you, I lost you. I loved you, I lost you. This hurts, this hurts me Fills my heart, full of mercury. The weight, it carries Rips it apart, And makes it too heavy This hurts, this hurts me Fills my heart, full of mercury. The weight, it carries Rips it apart, And makes it too heavy The memories Have gravity Gravity.

Let’s let the stars light the way Tonight we will make our escape. If we’re chased there’s no reason to hide Love is the perfect disguise. When it all goes up in flames We’ll keep dancing in the rain. High up on the wire Each step takes us higher The world hangs on to every move. Up above the fire Hearts filled with desire, Let’s jump in the fountain of youth Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Let’s jump in the fountain of youth Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Let’s jump in the fountain of youth. We may be crazy to stay ‘till the end With passion, we’ll fly from the edge. Through the sky and over the moon We know that heaven will take us back soon When it all goes up in flames We’ll keep dancing in the rain. High up on the wire Each step takes us higher The world hangs on to every move. Up above the fire Hearts filled with desire, Let’s jump in the fountain of youth Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Let’s jump in the fountain of youth Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Let’s jump in the fountain of youth. Let’s let the stars light the way ‘Cause, tonight we will make our escape.

My darling sweet do you believe I don’t even know my name? Won’t you carry a light down for me, please? And see what the headlines read. About all the times we left behind, The memories of you and me. In a boat, on the see we travelled free And rest in from time to time. Only in dreams We make believe The things that we need, and want are free A chord in a song, a melody Only in dreams. My darling sweet, do you believe The ways that we spend our time? Worry about the hands we’re dealt, And give in to fear and doubt. It gets harder to breathe, it’s like a disease It feels like you can’t go out. Well, lay back your head, and close your eyes Rest in from time to time. Only in dreams We make believe The things that we need, and want are free A chord in a song, a melody Only in dreams. Only in dreams We make believe The things that we need, and want are free A chord in a song, a melody Only in dreams Only in dreams Only in dreams.
