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

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

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

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

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 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 Like this Like this Like Like this Like this Like this Like Like this Like this Like this Like Like this Like this Like this Like 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

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

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

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
