I wish I didn’t cry beside the moon Love can be a sentimental tune Sobered by the glimpse of morning sun Illusions that my life has just begun Tracing all the footsteps of a dream Longing is an everlasting theme Like fireflies that show up in the night, oh The joy to feel a second of your light Until tomorrow comes to me I wonder where you are Do I live in make believe Gazing at the stars I wish I didn’t cry beside the moon Love can be a sentimental tune Sobered by the glimpse of morning sun Illusions that my life has just begun

I pretend that I am ten years older Ten years older I should see But where’s the moment Soon twenty four with A wish to bend what I could be I believe that I’ll be a little bolder In some ways colder in the best way I love my mother and I love my father I’ll make them prouder everyday Before it’s too late Can’t do it all on my own It’ll take the time it takes to leave myself alone Shouldn’t do it all on my own It’ll take the time it takes to See the ways I’ve grown And leave myself alone Leave myself alone If I believe that I am A little younger A little younger for me I’d seize the moment With no sense of time and I’d dream a little dream Can’t do it all on my own It’ll take the time it takes to Leave myself alone Shouldn’t do it all on my own It’ll take the time it takes to See the ways I’ve grown And leave myself alone Leave myself alone Leave myself alone Leave myself alone Where have I gone? Where have I gone? Where have I gone? Where have I gone? I pretend that I am ten years older Ten years older I should see But where’s the moment Soon twenty four with A wish to bend what I could be...

If I was a dancer in Spain, Would your heart beat faster? Isn’t that an awful refrain That would end in disaster? Oooo...oooo.. Why would I pretend to be her With a smile, with laughter Lost in the time you prefer I’m in love, in love Swirling 'round and around Tracing stars on the ground Holding onto the world you belong to If I was a dancer in Spain, Would your heart be certain? Fire would swim through the rain In gentle immersion... Swirling 'round and around Tracing stars on the ground Holding onto the world you belong to If I was a dancer in Spain, Would your heart beat faster? Isn’t that an awful refrain That would end in disaster? Oooo...oooo...

Do you ever watch the time go Feels like a daze to me And all that we dream with all we know Are they nearer than we see Oh, I’ve seen us change And I’ve seen us estranged We found the scissors and glue Oh, isn’t this life amazing Watching our dreams come true And all of the magic I’m chasing Comes back to the father I knew I can’t prepare for all that’s ahead Or wait to be guided through My wandering heart leads instead The winds will blow as they do Oh, I’ve seen us stray When the skies turn to gray We still found scissors and glue Oh, isn’t this life amazing Watching our dreams come true And all of the magic I’m chasing Comes back to the father I knew I know we grow Living for what we believe Finding shadows In the families that we weave Bringing light to all we see Visions of the love we need Oh, isn’t this life amazing Watching our dreams come true And all of the magic I’m chasing Comes back to the father I knew

I know that I am altered Doin’ all I could do Noticing faults in our falter I’m giving up less than the truth I could come up with the reasons Why I should or shouldn’t try I will be strong enough I always fall in love more with me anyway Lookin at how I feel With the definition of a spiritual life Try to heal holdin’ on I conceal the premonition and a knowin' that I’ll be light Lead me through your darkness I will be another light I will be strong enough There in the thick of love See colors of the night Lookin at how I feel with the definition of a spiritual life Try to heal holding on I conceal the premonition and a knowin’ that I’ll be light Love is a higher feelin’ we trust inside Love is a higher feelin’ we trust inside Lookin at how I feel with the definition of a spiritual life Try to heal holding on I conceal the premonition and a knowin’ that I’ll be Strong Enough I will be strong enough I will be strong enough I will be strong enough I will be strong enough I will be strong

January 02:30
New year, new me For all to see Oh, January I sit and I gloat A glimmer of hope Soon solitary January It’s the risks that we take And the wishes we make Oh, January So we look at our year Plan through the fear Of where will I be January.... (doo doo doos...) It’s the sand in your eyes With a grain of goodbyes Oh, January So we dance And we sing Live through the dream Of where will I be Where will I be January

Voices 03:20
Unfolding layers of confidence Validated by experience But I’ve been feeling delirious overtime I’ve been dreaming of solace Loneliness fills my direction I’m longing for love and connection Overtime, overtime Cuz there’s still a voice in my head Which way am I being lead Burdened with fear and a loss of words to say I’m scared that I’m someone that won’t deserve today Lost in a spur of the moment The toss and turns of a whisper Hearing a message deliver Overtime, overtime Cuz there’s still a voice in my head (when will I be enough) Which way am I being lead (when will I be enough) Burdened with fear and a loss of words to say (will I be enough, when will I be enough) I’m scared that I’m someone that won’t deserve today (when will I be enough) And all of the voices begin to reveal themselves Listen to all that you’ve heard And all of the voices begin to reveal themselves Listen to all that’s absurd Love is fear Love is sadness Love is joy Love is madness Oh, love is fear Love is sadness Love is joy Love is madness Love is madness Love is madness

Moving Along 04:22
We walked along this road 3 AM, I fell again Oh, how we grow We were dancin’ with the rhythm of the streetlights Oh, what a sweet life we know Oh, what a sweet life we know I feel it (feel it) We could go there again Do you feel it Was it really good then? I feel it (feel it) We could go there again Do you feel it Was it really good then? (ooo) We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We live our little lives Watered seeds, tired eyes Oh, how we grow Finding magic in the everyday Then we say Oh what a sweet life we know, oh what a sweet life we know.....well, I feel it (feel it) We could go there again Do you feel it Was it really good then? I feel it (feel it) We could go there again Do you feel it Was it really good then? (ooo) We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear I made a promise to myself I’d follow me and no one else You’ll never find me in a crowd of lonely hearts I made a promise to myself I’d follow me and no one else You’ll never find me in a crowd of lonely hearts We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear We’re movin’ along We’re movin’ along, dear (Ooooos...)

In my dreams The clouds are smiling Birds are singin’ songs for me Happy as can be Flowers bloom In twos One for me and one for you And the oceans seems a bright shade of blue Horizons fill the corners of my mind Heaven never seemed so well defined But everything is never up to par When falling in love is quite the work of art Found a world Pure and winsome Just a varnished memory In my dreams Horizons fill the corners of my mind Heaven never seemed so well defined But everything is never up to par When falling in love is quite the work of art Found a world Pure and winsome Just a varnished memory In my dreams

Joy 03:05
I go wandering the places only I know Through the dreams and stars above Why hold onto the illusions that we’re all sold Keeping me away from love I could assure I would find the allure Viewing the world from outer space Finding the joy in the darkness is sure To show what we’re yet to embrace I grow living in the moment in my own flow ‘stead of being on the run I need to reminisce the mirrors that we all see Through the eyes of everyone 
 Spring will be near Feel the warmth of the sun Livin’ though life has just begun Maybe the answer is having some fun I’ll dance to the rhythm of bum bum bum bum Spring will be near Feel the warmth of the sun Livin’ though life has just begun Maybe the answer is having some fun I’ll dance to the rhythm of love Spring will be near Feel the warmth of the sun Livin’ though life has just begun Maybe the answer is having some fun I’ll dance to the rhythm of ....

The truth is of perfect design Winding it’s gears when we are aligned The clocks of our hearts still refine Broken little pieces left behind 
 And I wonder politely in the lightest of ways In the comfort of the clarity of every mistake Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you Careful to come to the fore Easy as easy comes out through the door To worlds that we chose to ignore Toes reaching out to the shore And I wonder politely in the lightest of ways In the comfort of the clarity of every mistake Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you I belong to me And you belong to you Harmony and rhythm find their way through the blues I belong to me And you belong to you Harmony and rhythm find their way through the blues Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you Wouldn’t have known...being without you
