'Maybe In Another Life' Walking under city lights I feel slight drunk, and I don't feel quite alright Hitting my face, the Autumn breeze People crowd my sight, and I can't see The face in the crowd She's like a movie Walking so fast, ya see right through me But you turn around, look at me and as you say - Crowds closing in I can't see you Crowds closing in I can't hear you Maybe in another life I'll see you at another time Maybe in another life I'll see you at another time Oh no Now walking away, thoughts circulate: "Oh what did she have to say" Footsteps paint the streets in an awkward line I'll have another drink and be just fine Tell me the odds of love at first sight? Very very low, I've done the math And it never ever adds up right Tell me the odds of love at first sight? Very very low, I've done the math And it never ever adds up right Crowds closing in I can't see you Crowds closing in I can't hear you Stumbling under city lights I think I see you, but I've just lost the might The Autumn breeze... below me a bed of leaves I trip, I fall Maybe in another life Maybe in another life I'll see you at another time Maybe in another life I'll see you at another time

'The Bittersweet' The bittersweet is never sweet Always left to believe It's not meant for me Shining lights, and diamond rings My quiet bride, a glass heart she brings Disappearing, vanishing she goes Don't mean to impose And then I don't know What do you say? Let's get away What do you say? Is love okay? The bittersweet, is never sweet Always left to believe It's not meant for me Shining lights and limousine rides My quiet bride, takes it all in stride Fall away, the way you sway A love we chose Didn't mean to impose No words to say Can we get away? No words to say Is love okay? The bittersweet is never sweet Always left to believe It's not meant for me Shining lights, and diamond rings My quiet bride, a glass heart she brings Disappearing, vanishing she goes Don't mean to impose And then I don't know What do you say? Let's get away What do you say? Is love okay?

'That's How It Goes' She plants her face on a computer screen She's always stuck, yeah, lost in a dream Fantasizing favorite movie scenes, and Living through the silly books she reads It's a curse, no, she's so rehearsed, she goes, "Nobody gets what's important to me" Oh nobody gets what's "important" to her It was a Friday, no it was a Thursday She stole a hearse, and she drove it so far away "There's too many graves, and far too much to save." She'd say, she'd say, she'd say, she'd- That's how it goes This I know That's how it goes This I know She hides her face nervously in her dress She hides secrets in her purse not to confess She bends her arms right behind her back To revel in her lie, cause art in truth just simply lacks It's a curse, no, she's so rehearsed, she goes, "Nobody gets what's important to me" Oh nobody gets what's "important" to her It was a Friday, no it was a Thursday She stole a hearse, and she drove it so far away "There's too many graves, and far too much to save." She'd say, she'd say, she'd say, she'd say, she'd That's how it goes This I know That's how it goes This I know

Songbird 03:26
'Songbird' A bitter scheme and the moment pass Into a dream that you hope it'll last You get so lost in your memories Time pushes forward and the taste.. it's bittersweet Where have they gone? People that you knew The ones that you loved? The ones that saw through The thought to keep this forever and more A thought of peace, the innocence of before You shout and scream your every word And trust me as I've always heard I'll keep you safe with me, I'll keep you- My little songbird, my little songbird Don't fall too deep Don't fall Waiting for me, I'm hardly here And I was never quite as sincere So hung up over things that they say You fall to pieces each and everyday Scramble for words A truth you can't relearn It was never that deep Still you want them to see As it's all that you can do They'll never hear you, they'll never hear you You shout and scream your every word And trust me as I've always heard I'll keep you safe with me, I'll keep you- My little songbird, my little songbird Don't fall too deep Don't fall

Locket 01:00
'Locket' Removing the sheet, the sun hits my eyes Another new day, I feel so alive Look in the mirror, again I see me I drink the coffee, I feel so complete And then you awake, I really fancy your face You take me in your arms, you let me know I'm real Your lips, a slight bruise I kiss, your truth I steal You go to the bathroom, I look around your room I steal your locket, put it in my pocket And then I leave
