1.	You'll Do Magic 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Get up before the phone can ring and turn it around again All of your days are waterproof, so you never feel the rain Cut all the extra ties you've made and tear up your extra plans I'll leave it in your hands Nobody's waiting for you to be leader of the marching band You're all alone and loneliness starts messing with your head But you're gonna make or break today and run if you get the chance I'll leave it in your hands 'Cause I know That you're going to pull something out of thin air You'll do magic And I know You've got nothing to work with but what's in your hands You'll do magic So get up before the phone can ring and turn it around again All of your days are waterproof, so you never feel the rain Cut all the extra ties you've made and tear up your extra plans I'll leave it in your hands 'Cause I know That you're going to pull something out of thin air You'll do magic And I know You've got nothing to work with but what's in your hands You'll do magic I see it all inside of you You'll do magic I do believe it's true You'll do magic I know That you're going to pull something out of thin air And I know You've got nothing to work with but what's in your hands Yeah I know That you're going to pull something out of thin air You'll do magic And I know You've got nothing to work with but what's in your hands You'll do magic So get up before the phone can ring and turn it around again All of your days are waterproof, so you never feel the rain
2.	Imagination 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Seeing beauty in the small things Hearing music in the walls Take a moment just to listen to it all You might catch a glimpse of gold It’s only everything you’ve ever wanted The whole world left behind will never know Do you believe in mysteries And searching for the magic A dark world wants to take your dream But don’t you let them have it She ran from all of them Inside her head And found the way to her imagination Travel far away from busy Find your heart in writing songs Everyone is losing touch with who they are Even young are getting old It’s only when the lines go down they notice The whole world hides behind a telephone Do you believe in mysteries And searching for the magic A dark world wants to take your dream But don’t you let them have it She ran from all of them Inside her head And found the way to her imagination She walked away from everything To find a world without endings Somewhere she could begin Happiness flies on the wings of The simplest things When you’re listening to the song in your heart Do you believe in mysteries Do you search for the magic A dark world wants to take your dream But don’t you let them have it She ran from all of them Inside her head And found the way to her imagination
3.	I Knew 02:34	lyrics	buy track
Slow, talk slow I’m listening Every little word sings Though my eyes are drifting Slow, talk slow I’m listening A question was searching for answers but oh how I found them I’ll tell you again I knew when time wasn’t making sense I knew when life wasn’t fair I knew when I saw past the obvious truth I knew, I knew, I knew it was you Slow, walk slow I’m tethered Every step is measured Though I’m feeling better Slow, walk slow I’m tethered I knew when time wasn’t making sense I knew when life wasn’t fair I knew when I saw past the obvious truth I knew, I knew, I knew I knew when I lost my confidence I knew when life wasn’t kind I knew when I saw past the fault in your mind I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew it was you I knew it was you I knew it was you
4.	When You Move Away 03:31	lyrics	buy track
One day I will wake on the right side Stand to my full height Like all good chapters begin Be bold and emerge from my cold cave Fight like the old days Last of the light let it in I'm going to find out how you slip away How they twist your words but you never change I miss you so much When you move away That's why I have to walk Under these stars No place is home 'Til I find where you are I have to go, I have to go I'd miss you too much if I stayed away Remember me weak in my cradle Now I am able To sleep sound wherever I lie I gather my strength walking slowly You wouldn't know me Too many days have gone by I'm going to find out how you slip away How they twist your words but you never change I miss you so much When you move away That's why I have to walk Under these stars No place is home 'Til I find where you are I have to go, I have to go I'd miss you too much if I stayed away I will never tire I'm stepping forth I knew I would someday Let the years fall away You said follow me And I'm on my way I missed you so much When you went that day When you moved away That's why I have to walk Under these stars No place is home 'Til I find where you are I have to go, I have to go I'd miss you too much if I stayed away
5.	Plan B 03:19	lyrics	buy track
This is a message for the captain I am just a passenger But I put my life into your hands And just like all the others on board I departed willingly Thinking I would fly to safer land We watch the flames pass by the window So tell us it will be alright Because the empty spaces below Are playing on our mind Oh no, we've lost our way And we can't tell up from down Oh no, can I just say hey hey What are you counting on now What's plan B Now that the engine has shut down What's plan B Now that the lights are out And we're drifting far away Too far for anyone to save This is a sticky situation Tell me do you really think They will hear us if we cry aloud 'Cause just like all the others on board My responsibilities Lie about a thousand feet straight down Oh no, we've lost our way And we can't tell up from down Oh no, can I just say hey hey What are you counting on now What's plan B Now that the engine has shut down What's plan B Now that the lights are out And we're drifting far away Too far for anyone to save We watch the flames pass by the window So tell us it will be alright Because the empty spaces below Are playing on our mind Oh no, we've lost our way And we can't tell up from down Oh no, can I just say hey hey What are you counting on now What's plan B Now that the engine has shut down What's plan B Now that the lights are out And we're drifting far away Too far for anyone to save
6.	Over Oceans 02:09	lyrics	buy track
I look through the window I can dream through the glass Over oceans to the land And while I was out there No one knew I had gone Over oceans all alone All alone All alone Over oceans all alone I followed a compass And it led me away Over oceans Far away yeah And while I was out there No one knew I had gone Over oceans All alone All alone Over oceans all alone
7.	We Are Away 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Our eyes open up Feel the freedom come Daylight catching us So we'd better be going On our way We're just about to make some memories You and me You and me, ooh Filled our car up and our dreams are stacked And with that We are away Got our luggage packed We won't look back After we wave And we are away Got a good supply of confidence And promises we've made We are away So goodbye we'll be back some day Our time now you know One dream won't let go You, me, chasing roads, mmm Yeah we'd better be going On our way We're just about to make some memories You and me You and me, ooh Filled our car up and our dreams are stacked And with that We are away Got our luggage packed We won't look back After we wave And we are away Got a good supply of confidence And promises we've made We are away So goodbye we'll be back some day I would not have done this without you I would not have made it this far Goodbyes have all been said Sun is overhead We are Away Got our luggage packed We won't look back After we wave And we are away Got a good supply of confidence And promises we've made We are away So goodbye we'll be back some day
8.	Try 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Never ever going back Never any point in that Only going forward now I’ve started Never ever slowing down Watch me go faster now Only wanna find where my heart is I’ve never seen a face looking so sad as yours did tonight Can I make it alright Day breaks and we step into a stronger light I know it’s hard, but won’t you even try Sometimes when I’m thinking I Feel like I’ve been left behind But I wanna tell you I’m sorry ‘Cause even if I lose a day It’s gonna happen anyway I don’t have to look, life will find me now Standing at the edge of a doorway to a better life All that’s left now is time Waking up a brand new day You and I will both be fine I know it’s hard, but won’t you even try Well I’ve never seen a face looking so sad as yours did tonight But I want you to know You won’t have to fight all your life Never seen the world before But know that there is nothing more Than what’s here in my view Something on the wind that calls Found all I was searching for Something real, something true I’ve never seen a face looking so sad as yours did tonight Can I make it alright Day breaks and we step into a stronger light I know it’s hard, but won’t you even try Try
9.	Coming Home 02:37	lyrics	buy track
Rolling hills, the air is free Curls upon the ruthless sea I was young when I walked into that scene Cottage white upon the green I'm coming home Ever wonder where I've gone I'm coming home To new skies over castles old Tucked into the mountain fold In my dreams I walk those hills In my dreams I walk them still Emerald grass, the morning fell Stony paths and stony wells I was young when I fell under that spell Land of green I loved you well And I'm coming home Ever wonder where I've gone I'm coming home To new skies over castles old Tucked into the mountain fold In my dreams I walk those hills In my dreams I walk them still Oh I'm coming home
10.	Everything's Changing 04:35	lyrics	buy track
We were born in the silence It was constant and quiet And a sun always shining Where we spent our days And now everything's changing Making wild such a tame thing It feels right that's the strange thing So don't run away I'll be here with you While the world goes through what it has to But it will pass Everything's changing so fast And this is what it's like Seeing the end in our time Everything's changing so fast See a distant light glowing If you're scared you can't show it There's a mountain of moments Coming our way, yeah yeah yeah And it's new and it's different A great pull don't you feel it And you know that you'll miss it If you run away, yeah yeah I'll be here with you And this is what it's like Seeing the end in our time Everything's changing so fast And this is how it feels Watching the words become real Everything's changing so fast Everything's changing so fast Crowding We never fit in There'll come a day when we will Make all the promises last Everything's changing so fast Everything's changing so fast, ooh This is what it's like Seeing the end in our time Everything's changing so fast And this is how it feels Watching the words become real Everything's changing so fast Everything's changing so fast Everything's changing so fast
11.	Leave The Galaxy 02:39	lyrics	buy track
Running fast I would never miss the chance to be the last Pair of eyes to see the past Rainbows and arrows tear through time Stars fall They're beautiful but aren't we all Stand tall, a moment unforgettable Wide eyed beneath their dying light Rushing through the evening scene First flight you are sparkling Such depth such bravery How does it feel to leave the galaxy And I can hear you whispering Close your eyes make a wish on me On your back is a thousand dreams How does it feel to leave the galaxy Last light Lift my hand to wave goodbye I'll cry, tears will float up from my eyes Scarred sky, there's lightning where you've been We're so far We don't quite know where we are No cars, only silver paper stars Over the road and in the streets Rushing through the evening scene First flight you are sparkling Such depth such bravery How does it feel to leave the galaxy And I can hear you whispering Close your eyes make a wish on me On your back is a thousand dreams How does it feel to leave the galaxy
12.	Lead Me Home 03:59	lyrics	buy track
When I feel a little lost, a little empty And words are weak, they fall like heavy stars And the searchlights turn away like they’ll forget me But I don’t have to wonder where you are You’re already out there Calling me on Whenever I’m nowhere Whenever I’m gone You lead me home There’s such a long way to go Lights are a long way off Watching on You lead me home Painted stars on the wall I’m never alone anymore We’re closer than before You lead me home When I feel a little low, you let it ring out I hear you from across the great expanse And you always find a way, you take the sting out I’ll brave it all, I know I’ve got a chance ‘Cause you’re already out there Calling me on Whenever I’m nowhere Whenever I’m gone Yeah You lead me home There’s such a long way to go Lights are a long way off Watching on You lead me home Painted stars on the wall I’m never alone anymore We’re closer than before You run in the light You burn like a fire And I wouldn’t change you I’d follow you out Into the wild Where nothing can tame you And when the sun gets deep And the sky grows cold And my world starts freezing over You lead me home When there’s such a long way to go When lights are a long way off Watching on You lead me home Painted stars on the wall So I’m never alone anymore We’re closer than before You lead me home I’m never alone anymore We’re closer than before You lead me home I’m never alone anymore We’re closer than before You lead me home
13.	No Such Thing As Goodbye 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Say what you mean Somebody wants to know I know what it's been Waiting for wonderful Hold your head high Stick to the plan Keep asking why I know it doesn't make sense at the moment You've just gotta keep going With each one taking a step All the days ahead Will disappear into the sky Sun in your eyes Stars raining over mine And with each one taking a step All the miles ahead Will disappear in half the time I want you to meet me there There's a place Where there's no such thing as goodbye Of all underneath We are the lucky ones The harder you breathe The stronger the heart becomes Keep your mind still Stick to the plan I know you will I know it doesn't make sense at the moment But you've gotta keep going With each one taking a step All the days ahead Will disappear into the sky Sun in your eyes Stars raining over mine And with each one taking a step All the miles ahead Will disappear in half the time I want you to meet me there There's a place Where there's no such thing as goodbye Live in the light Set the world straight I know you try I know that nothing makes sense at the moment With each one taking a step All the days ahead Will disappear into the sky Sun in your eyes Stars raining over mine And with each one taking a step All the miles ahead Will disappear in half the time I want you to meet me there There's a place Where there's no such thing as goodbye
14.	Ashtray 04:24	lyrics	buy track
I never died When winter came I was alive And I ran away To keep me safe Tallied the walls 'til the spring arrived I never cried I wanted to thousands of times When I thought of you Old words seemed new Hiding my face as they came to life I will never see it coming But I know that I will be there on the last day When we leap out of the fire And we leave it all behind us in the ashtray Taken away One man was blind But he could see out of his mind And he spoke to me ten pages deep Said give me your heart and I'll be your eyes That was the start Kingdoms started falling apart Soon the dust will breathe in golden streets Second hand marking the end of time I will never see it coming But I know that I will be there on the last day When we leap out of the fire And we leave it all behind us in the ashtray Taken away Yeah-a-ay Open your eyes Time to reveal the surprise Was it worth the wait No need to say Show me the wonder, it just won't hide I will never see it coming But I know that I will be there on the last day When we leap out of the fire And we leave it all behind us in the ashtray I will never see it coming But I know that I will be there on the last day When we leap out of the fire And we leave it all behind us in the ashtray Taken away Yeah-a-ay Hey hey
