Do you remember, when life wasn’t a blur Do you remember, living simpler Do you remember, when things were as they seemed Do you remember, chasing all your dreams? Do you even remember? Do you even remember? Do you remember, when you still felt alive Do you remember, staying up all night Do you remember, when you had lots of friends Do you remember, wishing this won’t end?

I Don't Mind 02:21
Sometimes when I’m alone I feel like my mind is blown. I can’t even tie my shoes Or read the morning news. When I’m lying in my bed I can barely feel my head. DDT and mercury’s Done quite a toll on me. But I don’t mind I don’t mind I don’t mind I don’t mind. I’m not into normal girls I live in my own little world. Thinking straight is such a chore And it’s really quite a bore. Nothing makes any sense to me Because all I do is watch TV. Guess there’s not much left to do And even less to lose.

Glide 02:35
Hey, the stars are all aligned So high in the sky In the summer night. Hey, is this our sign That we’re gonna glide Until the end of time. I feel like I’m so alive tonight With you. I feel like I’m so alive tonight When I’m with you. With you When I’m with you Hey, now I see the light Burning so bright Here’s the sunrise.

Gold Dreams 02:53
I can’t remember But I know one things for sure. Those gold dreams, they always Make me feel secure. Take me to the place where I will Feel like I belong. Take me to the place where I should Have been all along. And it’s hard to say How it would have been if I'd lived this way. It's all a blur now I don’t know why I am here. But those gold dreams, they always Seem to feel so real.
5.
Everyday 03:06
I’m not sure How it all went wrong so soon. I don’t know I don’t know what I’m gonna do, without you. Don’t leave me I didn’t mean the things I said. Don’t make me Get down on my knees and beg. I can’t take How it feels to live alone. I don’t know What I’ll do now that you’re gone. Everyday you’re not around I wonder how you’re doing now. Everyday you’re not my girl I just can’t take it anymore.
6.
If you knew that it was true, what would you do Would you even feel blue? If I had another chance, one more try I’d ask if I could dance with you. One last time. I wish I could talk with you, one more night I’d whisper I love you. One last time.
7.
Drift 02:43
Going through the motions Who cares anymore? Drifting in the ocean Staring back, staring at the shore. Going round in circles Time and time again. Drifting through the days Lost in, lost in the sun. Blinded by the light Losing, wasting, running out of time. Looking in the tide Reflecting on the days. Of what there could have been Drifting in, drifting in the waves.
8.
Light the road ahead so I can make the trip To free myself from her iron grip. I fought so long not to adore The words flowing out her poison lips. I yearned to break away yet always staggered back Returning to a place within her grasp. I shot so hard to pick up myself And all the pieces falling through the gaps. And then I saw a light shine in the night that made me realize She's gonna be the death of me.
9.
Stay True 02:46
There’s not much point in asking you to change It’s already written in the stars in outer space. There’s not much point in trying to pretend I’d fall through black holes so I could feel your love again. Seconds turn to hours This time’s a different kind, this love was ours. And if today’s the day No matter how far away That you stray out of view Please stay true Stay true. There’s not much point in dwelling on the times Like when we would dance at night in the moonlight. There’s not much point in wishing we could run We’re already melting away into the sun.
10.
Look around Around and wonder how We became Just strangers passing by. Is there even anything Even anything? Is there even anything Even anything? Left for two Shadows grown apart. Should I try Or should I say goodbye? Is there even anything Even anything? Is there even anything Even anything? Left.
11.
Burn me, burn me to the ground So I can’t make a sound, keep my voice down. Squeeze me, squeeze me until I’m red Stuck inside of my head, thinking about what I said. It’s so hard to say What you really mean. It’s so easy To throw it all away. Time after time I find that nothing stays the same There’s no reason to believe things won't change Eventually. Twist me, twist me around your thumb Don’t stop until I’m numb, take back what I have sung. Lay me, lay me down to sleep Drag me into the deep, leave me to never speak.
12.
You’d think it’s only common sense but they always somehow seem to forget. I'd feel more at home on the Moon than I feel living here with the rest of you. Because everyday the people look away as they Tear the world down a little brick by brick. And everyday the people say it's okay but they All know deep down that that’s just straight bullshit.

Always Never 03:28
As you left I lost my way Without you by my side. All I know is I lost my mind As you said goodbye. We’re always never Always never We’re always never Always. Like I used to dream Dream that we would be. Why didn’t we hold on To what we once had?
