1. _ It's Over
I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can
But i can see another road
And i ain't coming back
Don't look for me around this town
'cause i will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
And i won't take no souvenirs
No perfumed picture promises
Because it's over
And i ain't coming back
You gave me everything
And now i'm breaking your heart
You know that i don't mean
To tear your world apart
I would never leave if i thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in the hall
Is written on the wall
A letter with no words of love at all
Because it's over (because it's over)
And i ain't coming back
And as i close the door
I know i'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead i've torn your world apart
And as i walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough
I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then
I just could not pretend oh no
Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years

2. _ Lessons In Love
I'm not proud, i was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love
For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts token words
All the hopes i ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'till you return
All the dreams that we were building
We never lived them
We could lose it, we should use it
(lessons in love) lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good god)
Lessons in love

3. _ Two Solitudes
I saw the longing in your eyes
But i failed to see the anguish
You so cleverly disguised
Your needs i clearly read
But i never knew your true intentions
They were better left unsaid
I brushed our tears aside
Thought i could wipe away the memory
But couldn't push that far inside
You came so full of regrets
Your body still remembers
What your mind learnt to forget
Love is lost i've found
When trust breaks down
Now we meet those two imposters just the same
Always out of bounds
When love comes round
Don't even have the strength to share the blame
We ride the train of events
We never make our destination
Never making any sense
You say you leave without regret
But your body will remember
What your mind learns to forget
One love. two solitudes
There's no common ground
When trust breaks down
Thought everybody's love is in the air
Always out of bounds
When love comes down
Too scared to climb the wall of our despair
Love is lust i've found
When trust breaks down
Now we meet those two imposters just the same
Always out of bounds
When love comes round
Don't even have the strength to share the blame
And the said thing is
There's no end to this
Your tears are like the rain that beats the rain
And i wake at dawn
To find you gone
Don't even have strength to call you name
Repeat chorus 2
Repeat corus 1

4. _ Children Say
I keep to myself
What i might share with others
But they don't seem to understand
I open my mouth
To rediscover
That i don't have the words at my command
Holding out
For a world so much better
But i'm a stranger in a stranger's land
All my friends have sold out
Couldn't handle the pressure
Counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can
Children say - children say
We open our minds as one
But one more day - slips away
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
When i overhear
My parents conversations
Well i'm struck by the things they say
It seems they traded the years
For mere complications
Who ever thought it could end this way
They close the door
But they can't lock it
'cause something of their childhood remains
And they've felt it before
When the man in their pocket
Counted the cost of their material gains
Children say - come what may
Be strong for the friends you've known
But one fine day - (not) far away
Will we remember the love we used to own
Children say - children say
We open our minds as one
As one more day slips away
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
Well you knew what i was saying
But did you know what it meant
When you saw that look in my eye
Did you know it was heaven sent
Was it all a waking dream
All that time we must have spent
Well i guess it must have been
Somehow that feeling came and went
Children say - come what may
Be strong for the friends you've known
But one fine day - (not) far away
Will we remember the love we used to own
Children say - children say
We open our minds as one
As one more day - slips away
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
Children say - children say
We thought it would never go
As one more day - slips away
Who ever thought we could be so lonely

5. _ The Sleepwalkers
I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car
Even on a cloudy day
She always says "man!, who d'you think you are?"
'cause she don't see it my way
We are all sleepwalkers
We only see the things we wanna see
Tunnel visions
And there's no end in sight
But after all we've been through
I know this much to be true
Though i don't think like you do
Don't you know that after all
All i really need is you
I have a game plan, but my love is in a jar
It don't come into play
She always says "man!, no matter where we are,
You're always miles away!"
We are all sleepwalkers
We don't see nothing we don't wanna see
We dream in color
We paint each other black and white
Let's take one step at a time (at a time)
Let's take each day as we find (as we find)
Give me the chance to speak my mind
Don't you know that after all
That's all i really need to cross that line
We give - the impression that all is well
Trying to live - all of the lies we tell
We cry - when there's no one near
We don't know why - there just ain't enough love
In these alien years
I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car
On a cloudy day
The wheel in one hand, the other on my heart
I'm trying to see it her way
Though we are all sleepwalkers
We only see the things we wanna see
I get the feeling
Maybe there's an end in sight

6. _ Freedom Someday
I'm not chasing miracles
I don't want no sympathy
I'm waiting for the world
To keep me company
Thinking 'bout the universe
Trying to keep my fears at bay
And all i'm hoping for
Is for someone else to want to say
Freedom someday - are you ready to make the deal
Freedom someday - freedom to live for real
I don't want no money
But buddy, can you spare the time of day
'cause silence is, i'm sure
The highest price we pay
I don't wish my troubles on anyone
But i can wish them well
So i'm knocking on your door
'cause there's something i would like to say
Freedom someday - i'm ready to make the deal
Freedom someday - freedom to live for real
Somehow life goes on
But when it's said and done
It's such a bitter pill
When you think the battle's won
You hear the distant guns
Of all those fighting still
The battle's in our heads
One we alway lose
Whichever side we choose
We can paint the planet red
Or black and blue instead
But we are one world
I'm not chasing miracles
But i don't choose to be this way
Now all i'm hoping for
Is for someone else to hear me say
And if our time has come
And if our race is run
Who will pay the bill
When you think the battle's won
You hear the distant guns
Of all those fighting still
But the battle's in our heads
One we always lose
Whichever side we choose
Paint the planet red
Or black and blue instead
But we are one world

7. _ Fashion Fever
Fashion fever
Forever brand new
Always out of date
Fashion fever
It's all about you
Tomorrow is too late
And when the fever fakes the feel
You must be sure of your appeal
Fashion fever
Forever brand new
Always out of date
Fashion fever
It's all about you
You'll be too late if you hesitate
I see you live behind that smile
With cold blue baby eyes
You cut me up with razor style
Dancing in disguise (dancing in disguise)
You chance your face to suit your hair
Look into the mirror again
And i'll be there
Forever laughing
Watching as you play
Fashion fever
Forever dancing
There's no time to sway yeah
And when the fever starts to fade
You know you may have gone too far
And what is left is anyone's guess
No one knows who you are
Don't scratch me with your tiger mind
And freaky fantasies
You say you can't be satisfied
Well i'm sure you never will (sure you never will)
You look en vogue
To seek the scene
Try turning all the pages again
And i'll be there
Forever laughing
Watching as you play
Fashion fever
Forever dancing
There's no time to sway
Fashion fever
Forever brand new
Always out of date
Fashion fever
It's all about you
Tomorrow is too late, yeah
Dur danga dong
Dur danga dong
Zeeba doo wah!!!

8. _ Running In The Family
Our dad
Would send us to our room
He'd be the voice of doom
He said that we would thank him later
All day
He was solid as a rock
But by eight o'clock
We'd be crumbling
One night
My brother joe and me
Climbed down the family tree
That grew outside our bedroom window
We ran
Though we knew it couldn't last
Running from the past
From things that we were born to be
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
Dad rang
The officer in charge
A man so large
He barely fit his circumstances
He said
Two kids out on the street
Were picked up on the beat
And in the station
So there's me
With emily and joe
Daddy driving home
All heading in the same direction
He knew
No matter what the breaks
We'd make the same mistakes
Couldn't take his eyes of joe and me
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the backseat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
Looking back it's so bizarre
Like a dream within a dream
We're all somewhere in between
Like a drummer plays his drum
Like a father like a son
- and your gonna have to face the music
- face the music
Hey hey
We keep it running in the family
Hey hey
We keep it coming in the family
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the backseat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes
Take me back into your arms
It's no longer a mystery
No cause for alarm
Could have never come this far
With no sense of history
It always leaves a scar
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
Running in the family
Hey, hey!

9. _ To Be With You Again
I've been making moves in chains
Wrapped around my hollow heart
The thought of you remains
I can't replace your face no matter how i try
And in the night i cry from wanting you
You know i thought i could not lose
America was calling me
You said i must choose
Between a life of love or visions that will fade
And now the choice is made i'm so lonely
Can you feel me
Reaching out to you
I'm so lonely
Are you lonely too
I would give anything
To make you understand
That i would go anywhere
To be with you again
Heaven help me if you can
I remember better days
But now i understand
You can't buy happiness, love is not for sale
The night is turning pale and i'm needing you
I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay)
Empty ears aren't listening
To one word i say (time to play)
The dream became a big machine out of control
And here inside my soul i am so lonely
Where are you now
When i need you so
I'm so lonely
I need you to know
I would give anything (can you feel me)
To make you understand (reaching out to you)
And i would go anywhere (where are you now)
To be with you again (when i need you)
I was standing in the rain
I was trying to break the chains
I was calling out your name (something snapped inside of me)
I need to be with you again, yeah
Baby
Can you feel me (can you feel me now)
Reaching out to you
I'm so lonely (i am so lonely girl)
Are you lonely too
Where are you now (i would go anywhere)
Now i need you so
I'm so lonely (i am so lonely girl)
I need you to know
I would give anything
To make you understand
And i would go anywhere
To be with you again
And you are the only one
Who can break these chains
And i would go anywhere
To be with you again
(can you feel me)
(reaching out to you)
(where are you now)
(when i need you so)
(i'm so lonely)
(are you lonely too)
(where are you now)
(now i need you)
