Secret Is Out
03:35
|

Yeah, yeah yeah
You used to tell me a story and I
Used to wonder and question the sky
Why are we
Keeping this, holding this back
There are some words that fly straight to the heart
And some voices can reach through the dark
Searching deep
Touch what we keep under wraps
I can't hear you
Speak up, speak up
Let it steer you
This life, this love
Once upon a time we were brave
Maybe we can be that again
Go tell the world
They need to see
It's not just for you
It's not just for me
Go spread the word
Sing it aloud
Time to be heard
Secret is out
Yeah, yeah yeah
There are some whispers that dare to be free
Louder, louder, they search for the key
Why don't we
Help them to make their escape
I can't hear you
Speak up, speak up
Let it steer you
This life, this love
Once upon a time we were brave
Maybe we can be that again
Go tell the world
They need to see
It's not just for you
It's not just for me
Go spread the word
Sing it aloud
Time to be heard
Secret is out
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Go tell the world
They need to see
It's not just for you
It's not just for me
Go spread the word
Sing it aloud
Time to be heard
Secret is out
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah

Dancing In This Room
03:07
|
|||
Things move slower
Ever since we let time get ahead
And I’ve grown older
Maybe I’m stronger, braver and bolder
Than I was back then
Ooh
Dancing slowly
Dancing over the moon
From here to forever
Dancing in this room
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Making wishes
Hoping that I get
More than I spent
You can’t buy time
But you can take it, waste it, or keep it
Close to your chest
Ooh
Dancing slowly
Dancing over the moon
From here to forever
Dancing in this room
All that I want is here
I’m gonna say it clear
Some hearts have to run
Till that race is won
Dancing slowly
Dancing over the moon
From here to forever
Dancing in this room
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Seaside Dreaming
04:04
|
|||
Sea air, paper kites
Eyes search crystal skies
Taking every step in our own time
Somewhere in between all the sunshine
Words drawn through the sand
Signed by little hands
Isn't it a picturesque moment
Caught up in the flow of the ocean
We asked a stranger if he'd be so kind
As to take up the camera and freeze us in time
He said smile everyone
Look into the afternoon sun
In this picture of us we look young, we look loved
With the worst days behind and the best yet to come
We look sure, we look free
To the left there, that's me
Just seaside dreaming
Sailboats making waves
Perfect summer days
High above the seabirds are flying
Chasing down an endless horizon
We asked a stranger if he'd be so kind
As to take up the camera and freeze us in time
He said smile everyone
Look into the afternoon sun
In this picture of us we look young, we look loved
With the worst days behind and the best yet to come
We look sure, we look free
To the left there, that's me
Just seaside dreaming
Da da da
Da da da-a
Da da da
Da da da-a
Da da da
Da da da-a
Seaside dreaming
In this picture of us we look young, we look loved
With the worst days behind and the best yet to come
We look sure, we look free
To the left there, that's me
Just seaside dreaming
In this picture of us we look bright, we look brave
With the ocean behind, that's a memory made
We look strong, yes we do
I am right next to you
And we're seaside dreaming
Da da da
Da da da-a
Da da da
Da da da-a
Da da da
Da da da-a
Seaside dreaming

Our Day
04:06
|
|||
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Up before the dawn so as not to miss a trick
Flowers on the table
Brand new candlesticks
Running up the hall with a light step echoing
Colours on the wall
We let the morning in
These are promised moments
Sunshine for the heart
Came without a warning
Lightning in the dark
Oh hello
And how do you do
This will be our day
This will be our day
Oh hello
And how do you do
This will be our day
Today will be our day
To remember
Ours forever
This will be our day
This will be our day
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Now that we have grown we can be like kids again
Daring me to race you
Down the tree lined lane
What am I to do with so much happiness
Dancing in a blur
Under the paper rain
These are promised moments
Sunshine for the heart
Came without a warning
Lightning in the dark
Oh hello
And how do you do
This will be our day
This will be our day
Oh hello
And how do you do
This will be our day
Today will be our day
To remember
Ours forever
This will be our day
This will be our day
They can have all the ancient ages
The little known and the famous moments, yeah
They can have all the ancient ages
But this will be our day
Today will be our day
Oh hello
And how do you do
This will be our day
This will be our day
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Night Owls
03:21
|
|||
I saw a man with his head in the clouds, I could see
A man with a dream
I saw a girl who just wanted to watch him believe
That girl was me
I wanna change all the minds that can't see what is true
Oh, it's all around you
It will take time but I'll keep trying till I have the proof
I'll change your view
All of these night owls are waking
Working by the light of the moon
A revolution in the making
Changing the world as they do
Ooh, ooh
It's after hours but I won't sleep until I am through
Oh, there's still work to do
I have to think of a clear way to show you
Dreams can come true
All of these night owls are waking
Working by the light of the moon
A revolution in the making
Changing the world as they do
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
All of these night owls are waking
Working by the light of the moon
A revolution in the making
Changing the world as they do
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Stardust In Your Hair
03:23
|
|||
Sometimes I take the long way back
And think about a deep space man
With stardust in his hair
And black holes in his eyes
That pull me in with unreal force
And captivate my universe
I'm home before I know it
Lost within a moment
A heart so hard to melt
Jumping through the hoops now
My silver surfaces
Showing something new now
Perfect beginnings keep
Playing in a loop
I remember it was raining
And my feet were wet
And the days were getting colder
But your warmth was there
And you came into my world
With stardust in your hair
(In your hair)
(In your hair)
Couldn't see
But I knew
You were light
(In your hair)
(In your hair)
Couldn't breathe
But you brought me to life
With new air
And stardust in your hair
We stole into our favourite scene
And made it our reality
The meteors were skipping
Stones across the stellar sea
A heart so hard to melt
Jumping through the hoops now
My silver surfaces
Showing something new now
Perfect beginnings keep
Playing in a loop
I remember it was raining
And my feet were wet
And the days were getting colder
But your warmth was there
And you came into my world
With stardust in your hair
(In your hair)
(In your hair)
Couldn't see
But I knew
You were light
(In your hair)
(In your hair)
Couldn't breathe
But you brought me to life
With new air
And stardust in your hair
(I remember it was raining)
Jumping through the hoops now
(And the days were getting colder)
Showing something new now
And you came into my world
With stardust in your hair

Bound For The Mountains
03:28
|
|||
Watch your eyes don’t blink
This is something you should see
In the fields the flowers are showing
And the scent is sweet
So will you walk with me
No roads, no cars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Ooh, where meadows meet the stars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Bound for the mountains you and I
Many years have passed
Since we buried all our plans
And finally the flowers are showing
Growing up so fast
Oh, will you walk with me
No roads, no cars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Ooh, where meadows meet the stars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Bound for the mountains you and I
A chance to take it slow
A wild wind blows
A world is waiting
So will you walk with me
No roads, no cars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Ooh, where meadows meet the stars
Bound for the mountains you and I
Bound for the mountains you and I

When the doors were opened
I couldn't walk through
I fear the unknown
Scared to win so I lose
That's just something I do
I'm not sorry
Don't be for me
I'm not worried
Don't be for me
I won't always be like this
Walking in circles
Running from shadows
I won't always be like this
Tired and fading
Count on it changing
I won't always be like this
When the chains were broken
I couldn't escape
I've missed many moments
Playing it safe
But I'm not sorry
Don't be for me
I'm not worried
Don't be for me
I won't always be like this
Walking in circles
Running from shadows
I won't always be like this
Tired and fading
Count on it changing
I won't always be like this

Cocoon
03:49
|
|||
If I had
It my way
I would make
The weather change
Even so I try
Blow you a kiss every day
It gets lost each time
But it never feels like a waste
Nice to meet you
I'm not as old as you might have expected but
I'll grow up soon
It drives me crazy just waiting inside this cocoon
Always more
Never less
I won't stop
Never rest
Get my angle right
I'll throw a new paper plane
Even when it rains
It never feels like a waste
Nice to meet you
I'm not as old as you might have expected but
I'll grow up soon
It drives me crazy just waiting inside this cocoon
I told the world who I'd be
And no one believed in me
Oh how a butterfly dreams
One day I'll feel complete
Nice to meet you
I'm not as old as you might have expected but
I'll grow up soon
It drives me crazy just waiting inside this cocoon
Oh it drives me crazy just waiting inside this cocoon
It drives me crazy just waiting inside this cocoon

Something Beautiful
02:30
|
|||
I've been sitting here
On my own
Listening to something beautiful
Sounds like everything
I used to want
I still dream of something beautiful
Can I get back or go ahead
Making a full circle and remember that
With something beautiful
I can be happier than ever
I've been wandering
Noticing
Looking out for something beautiful
Don't know time or place
What shape it takes
But it will be something beautiful
Can I get back or go ahead
Making a full circle and remember that
With something beautiful
I can be happier than ever

Falling
03:13
|

Distant dazes
Nobody knows the world around them changes
Ages
We're growing up too fast to see the phases
Any words you say
Fly away
I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
And I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Eyes swim
Ears drown
Nobody knows the healing that the old sound
Brings round
I wouldn't trade the feeling for this whole town
Any words you say
Make my day
I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
And I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Don't know why I feel this way
It must be something
Beautifully bold
Taking hold
I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
And I'm falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

Paper Plane
04:51
|
|||
You were sleeping and you had a dream
You thought you could touch
Did you want it ever so much
Did you stand up on your toes to reach
Your hands in a cup
Was it with you when you woke up
You must take care of that, little one
I hope you never find
A ceiling in the sky
With a string
Tie your dream
To a paper plane
Folded birds
Take your words
And all you can't explain
And may they fly
And may they fly
Fly your paper plane
And may they fly
And may they fly
To the stars and then
Back home again
You were sleeping and you had a dream
That crumbled to dust
Did you miss it ever so much
Any hope that builds a home so deep
Could never be lost
Did you ever think that it was, no
You must take care of that, little one
I hope you never find
A ceiling in the sky
With a string
Tie your dream
To a paper plane
Folded birds
Take your words
And all you can't explain
And may they fly
And may they fly
Fly your paper plane
And may they fly
And may they fly
To the stars and then
Back home again
Fly your paper plane
I hope that time may shed some light and
Solve your mystery
You'd already fly so high
If it were up to me
So with a string
Tie your dream
To a paper plane
Folded birds
Take your words
And all you can't explain
And may they fly
And may they fly
Fly your paper plane
And may they fly
And may they fly
To the stars and then
Back home again
Then back home again
Then back home again

The Lonely Soldier
04:42
|
|||
We no longer belong here
We've been like strangers for a while now
The time has come to hide now
But you won't leave your post
In the rain, in the cold
Closed eyes will take you home
You dance around the mountains
But your shadow's looking lonely
Tell him not to worry
Many friends knew the song
But they left you alone
Closed eyes will take you home
There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay right here
You're bursting like the sun now
And your heart is set on wonders
It beats for them like thunder
With the feet of a ghost
You stand higher than most
Closed eyes will take you home
There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay right here
When will we see
What is it like
Eyes on the earth
Eyes in the sky
Many will dream
Smothered in vines
But you were planted in the light
No you won't leave your post
In the rain, in the cold
Closed eyes will take you home
Home
They'll take you home
Home
There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you, around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay
Somebody has to stay
Somebody has to stay right here

Green And Blue
03:41

Life's a big adventure
The years pass like a dream
A journey to remember
Thanks for taking it with me
A vivid animation
I lived it by your side
Admiring your patience
Thanks for coming for the ride
It wouldn't have been green
It wouldn't have been blue
It wouldn't have been
Anywhere near as colourful
With anybody else but you
It wouldn't have been real
I wouldn't have a million thoughts inside my heart
Screaming out the way they feel and
I could have gone alone
Or found some other friend and just pretended
Different eyes could look like home, but no
It wouldn't have been true
With anybody else but you
We planted what we needed
And started growing love
We waited for our season
Thanks for never giving up
It wouldn't have been green
It wouldn't have been blue
It wouldn't have been
Anywhere near as colourful
With anybody else but you
It wouldn't have been real
I wouldn't have a million thoughts inside my heart
Screaming out the way they feel and
I could have gone alone
Or found some other friend and just pretended
Different eyes could look like home, but no
It wouldn't have been true
With anybody else but you
For so long
We thought we must have been
Missing something
But it was bigger than we knew
We lived through good times
And fought through hard times
I know my time was never wasted spent with you
It wouldn't have been green
Or blue
It wouldn't have been
Anywhere near as colourful
With anybody else but you
I wouldn't have been strong
When all the world was crashing down we filled our lungs
Still tryna write your favourite song and
It wouldn't have been gold
I wouldn't have this
Wild imagination and the richest stories ever told, no
None of them are true
With anybody else but you

What's on your mind
I know the tricks they play
Get amplified
And it sounds like yesterday
Don't let your light
Drown in a sea of blue
Electrified
As the rain falls over you
Hard
It gets hard
You get hurt
It gets real
Makes you shake
Wanna break
And you feel
Like you never grew up
You got a Peter Pan heart
Come on
The world is watching
Show them
The way you're walking
Everybody's going somewhere
Go out
With gold or grey hair
One day
Your life will get you there
Everybody's going somewhere
Your treasure's safe
You keep it locked away
Don't let it go
It will mean so much one day
You think too much
Think no-one thinks of you
I'll send this out
So you'll know that it's not true
Hard
It gets hard
You get hurt
It gets real
Makes you shake
Wanna break
And you feel
Like you never grew up
You got a Peter Pan heart
Come on
The world is watching
Show them
The way you're walking
Everybody's going somewhere
Go out
With gold or grey hair
One day
Your life will get you there
Everybody's going somewhere
Hard
It gets hard
You get hurt
It gets real
Makes you shake
Wanna break
And you feel
Like you never grew up
I love your Peter Pan heart
Come on
The world is watching
Show them
The way you're walking
Everybody's going somewhere
Go out
With gold or grey hair
One day
Your life will get you there
Everybody's going somewhere
