2. _ Asylum
I get so blind
From all of these colors
Dressed up like kings and queens
But it don't mean a thing
A killer, I'm not
Murderers get caught
If I'm such a criminal
Then take me away
Well I get so tired
Of the word on the wire
It's all so black and white
But how quickly it fades
We eat food for thought
And forget what we've got
She was a prisoner
Now I nearly am
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home asylum
Can't chase her away
Ohhhh
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home asylum
Can't chase her away
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home asylum
Can't chase her away
Ohhhh

3. _ Mad About You
Don't you want to get to know me well
Don't lie to me cause I can always tell
When you're feeling strange
I know you
There's no point in banging any blame
The mind is powerful it loves to play
Games that don't come with any rules
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I could
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
I know it's not the way we planned
I love it when yo take my hand
And kiss me and then just hold still
You fill me with all your energy
Your poisons, antidotes and sympathies
In a place that no one could ever fill
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I could
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
An you won't be alone when you sleep tonight
Cause I worry, oh I'm worrying too
But the ocean sends waves to the beach so we'll play
And to clean all the water up too
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Feeling like I never thought I would
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
Every line on you face does me good

4. _ Wonderful
I'm alone is this life
And these old jeans are too tight
And now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh, but I cry
My dignity is undignified
Guess I'm really on my own
Love is like a little boy
No, I'm not paranoid
But I'm on to you, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm not seventeen, and I don't want to be
So, why am I hiding?
[Chorus]
Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone?
I want to wake up from another lonely night
Too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
'Cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful
I'm a very simple girl
And I don't fit into this world
The city lights leave me in a daze
And even though we've never met
You know what I'm trying to forget
Somethings you can't change
[Chorus]
I'm underneath
Underneath
I'm underneath
I'm underneath
[Chorus]

6. _ Grow Up So Fast
It's mother's birthday, she's 40 year
I don't know what to say
Buy her roses and cry her tears
But she'll just give them away
Baby I'm fighting
Baby you're fighting
Why'd I have to grow up so fast
I just want to stay here and last
Oh we only, oh we only blew away
you were wearing my favorite dress
When you left that day
My pillow covers, your photograph
You come to me in waves
baby I'll find her
Baby I'll find her
Why'd I have to grow up so fast
I just want to stay here and last
Oh we only, oh we only blew away
I don't want to be the one that has to be afraid
I don't want to be the one you feel sorry for
I just want to be the one to make you smile
And kiss your face
it's mother's birthday, she's 40 years
I don't know what to say
why'd I have to grow up so fast
I just want to stay here and last
Oh we only, oh we only blew away
why'd I have to grow up so fast
I just want to stay here and last
Oh we only

7. _ So Cold
All those know is to photograph
People when they're on their knees
Say your prayers and wear your black
And be grateful it's not you and me
how am I supposed to live
Knowing that they're dying
How am I supposed to love
Knowing that they're crying
when did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old
Raise me up to where the wind blows
Out of the ghettos - oh
Raise me up to where the sun glows
Out of these shadows - oh
When did we get so cold
When did we get so cold
When did we grow so old
So old

8. _ Ghosts of You
We were occupied
I never had to go outside
I was your alibi
We were planning our escape
We stayed up all night
With Lucy in the diamond sky
Drank cheap red wine
And tucked ourselves to sleep
[Chorus]
Please don't go
These ghosts of you
The only thing that help get me through the day
Baby, please don't go
'Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same
We could laugh out loud
And sing until the sun came out
We took a secret vow
That we would never change
You always loved to dance
I wish we had another chance
To go back in time
And do it all again
[Chorus]
I don't want to live forever
But if we could be together
Then I wouldn't mind infinity
I don't want to live forever
Oh, but I can still remember
No, I wouldn't mind infinity
[Chorus x 2]

9. _ You Blame Yourself
I don't know why the winter's so long
It wears me out, it goes on and on
Yeah I don't know why the winter's so long
It seems never-ending, it goes on and on
I know you blame yourself
But don't
I don't know why this town is so small
It makes me mad, I've seen it all
Yeah I don't know why this town is so small
There's noboby left here, everyone's gone
I know you blame youself
But don't
[Whispering]

10. _ All I Can Do
When you're on your own
When you're at a fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many suns in our rows
You haven't laughed in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave
[Chorus]
All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long, and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do...
When you forget your name
And the pleasure can't disguise your pain
And you don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made
[Chorus]
What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
You can have a happy face
It can be so real
Oh
[Chorus]
Is all that I can do

11. _ Waiting for the Sun
I don't need to be forgiven
I don't want your sympathy
It's a mad, mad world
But it's still turning
don't want to get too complicated
I get so dark that I can't sing
Yeah it's a mad, mad world
But I'm hoping
I'm waiting for the sun to shine
I'll wait until the day I die
I'm tired of living in the shadows
But I'm not giving up on me
It's a sad, sad world
But I'm still waiting
I can't worry about tomorrow
And what each new day's gonna bring
'cause every dark cloud
Has a silver lining
I'm waiting for the sun to shine
I'll wait until the day I die
I'm waiting for the sun to shine
(it's a mad, mad world, oh, I'm gonna live my life)
I'll wait until the day I die
ah ah ah ahhhh
Ah ah ah ahhhh
Ah ah ahhhh
ah ah ah ahhhh
Ah ah ah ahhhh
Ah ah ahhhh
I'm waiting for the sun shine
(it's a mad, mad world, oh, I'm gonna live my life)
I'll wait until the day I die (oh)
(oh)
I'm waiting for the sun to shine
(it's a mad, mad world, oh)
I'll wait until the day I die (die, I)
