Who? What? Where? I fell from the tree and I hit the ground You wouldn’t know, I never made a sound. I look above laughing at my knee Never felt more alone. (open your eyes…open your eyes…) Trying and sighing I turn to the floor Clutching the grass, pulling at straws I don’t want to move, I stare at the graze. Never felt more alone (open your eyes…open your eyes…) CHORUS I guess it’s ok to move on *Why would you think about me? I tried my best to hold on *I’m tired, heavy but free A price to pay, a burden that I simply won’t share I’m trying my best to move on…. The apple fell far from the tree You wouldn’t know, it just about missed me? *Ways to the sky, I wonder why? *Can I race to the moon? (open your eyes…open your eyes…) I pricked my thumb fi fi hey diddle diddle dum (how dumb) Hmmmm Looks like I’m not the only one Twiddling my fingers and curling my thumb Can I race to the moon? (open your eyes…) CHORUS I guess it’s ok to move on *Why would you think about me? I tried my best to hold on I’m tired, heavy but free A price to pay, a burden that I simply won’t share I guess it’s fair to move on…. Bridge Did it hurt when you fell down and hit the ground Dusted off and remained proud Where are you going, don’t be scared Who what where when why? CHORUS I guess it’s ok to move on *Why would you think about me? *I tried my best to hold on *I’m tired, heavy but free A price to pay, a burden that I simply won’t share I guess it’s fair to move on…. X2 (Where will I go When do I go What will I know )

In My Room 02:48
In My Room I opened the door, took a peak, guess what I saw? A lady admiring the view I saw the light tucked up in creases and shadows A rocking horse looking at you in my room, there are flowers in my room, there are pictures in my room there’s a heartache I’ll play in the garden instead Inquiring eyes, sad and wise beyond her years With laughter that fills the whole room I saw your pale sparkling frame Smoking in the rain? Behind The fat eye of the moon In my room there are mirrors In my room, there are memories In my room there are monsters I’ll play in the garden instead Silent monsters at my door Climbing mountains, I must go play in the garden instead in my room, there are flowers in my room, there are pictures in my room there’s a heartache I’ll play in the garden instead In my room…… Mother, mother? Mind the flowers. Taking pills by the hour Longing eyes Hidden memories Sing to me As you cry out… “Hold me Help me I’m falling” Falling. I’ll play in the garden instead For now I’ll tuck you in bed I’ll see you soon, Don’t be scared.

Note To Self 03:13
Note To Self I wish I was different I wish I belonged And I don’t know how to feel anymore So she said, stuck in my head Wish I was dead Wish I was dead I will catch a bus to anywhere in the hope that someone finds me Oh its cold and I’m-a-thinking mama do you still love me? I ride in the opposite seat, a feeling I’m not really used to! I know, I stop, I pass, I feel this nagging hereditary feature of destiny and youth I wish I was different I wish I belonged And I don’t know how to feel anymore So she said, stuck in my head Wish I was dead Wish I was dead Strangers admire the vacant view I am one and so are you Faces tell a million lies Dummy horses fly the skies I signed my last receipt, A feeling I’m getting used to I Sign I smile I turn, goodbye… Sticks and stones will break your bones and words will always hurt you Poor Mother Nature keep me posted on those who offend you Memories are a policy and the ink shall imprint that forever I wish I was different Oh I wish I belonged And I don’t know how to feel anymore She laid there When I got there When I got there She laid there

"I Can See For Miles" I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way Well, here's a poke at you You're gonna choke on it too You're gonna lose that smile Because all the while I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles and miles, miles and miles You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say That you still want me Well, that's as may be But you gotta stand trial Because all the while I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles and miles, miles, miles Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles Ooh you've deceived me, now here's a surprise I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes I can see for miles and miles and miles, miles, miles, miles The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze Well, here's a poke at you You're gonna choke on it too You're gonna lose that smile Because all the while I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Sunday Calling Last time I saw you we were children Last time I saw you they were laughing Last time I felt you had that fire After, I found you on your own After, I went and ventured elsewhere After a while I moved on After some time I thought about you Later I found out you were gone Oh Later I found out you were gone. That night a part of me went searching That night I traced your empty stare That night I thought about your feelings Why did I choose to carry on? Oh. So here we are I’m here to say I’ll fight your war another way But now I see the past will be a shadow Now I must move on… Hmm And now I see the past will hide a simple fault I can’t deny To swallow strength. One chance. Succeed Don’t fall behind Don’t let it breed Hmm And now I live another day to face the battle grown today Arrested voice A lack of choice Don’t underestimate my say Hmm For now I’ll move on unaware. It’s not my fault you didn’t share I loved you once but time moved on My song will carry on and on and on Hmm This one’s for you and you and you My chance to sing, A chance to prove…… Later I found out you were gone. Oh
