I'm in a crazy new town With a crazy new sound and its Just like magic So I won't be back soon Or at all There's a million new faces And a hundred new crazes And I just can't wait to see it all And fill my heart with music In the city I've found There's some special new sounds And I just can't wait to hear them all And forget about you And when I'm looking for shade On a hot summer day I'll think about the times we had And all the times that I felt sad and Then I'll wait until the dawn is yawning And rising from its bed And with my eyes glazed over I'll explore the world inside my head So I'll wait until the dawn is yawning And rising from its bed And inside my head I'll wonder If I should have left But the answer's yes When the clouds in the sky have sped on by I’ll sit and feel the wind’s caress And as time moves along I’ll wait for the day that I can really say I’ve found my place in this big world And that I’m done with foolish pride And so I’ll wait until the dawn is yawning And rising from its bed And with my eyes glazed over I’ll explore the world inside my head So I’ll wait until the dawn is yawning And rising from its bed And inside my head I’ll wonder If I should have left But the answer’s yes The answer’s yes The answer’s yes Yes though it seems that this could be a dream I've never felt so lucid And so it’s strange to think That I’d been searching for a scene A scene from a dream But now it’s real and here I am In this strange new place Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town) Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town) Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town) Crazy new town

There’s a stranger middling down the dark damp street Shadows flickering from the street lamp of some cement-mixed feet Echoing a voice once-forgotten Through a tear stain I had missed Never noticed before, maybe there is something more to this Day and night I pass you by Never to stop and say hello or goodbye Like I did before Our worlds began to divide I used to know the girl you were Now the memories are fogged over Although I saw you there I didn't recognise your face On the other side of the street There's her world and I can't touch it Though there's only a beat between us We always seem to look the other way The days when you walk by We never catch each others eyes And as you never notice It's never a surprise That when I see your smile I know it isn't for me And It's strange with a tear in our hearts We walk together but we're always apart But this is how it is We can't seem to even glance, To the other side of the street With her world, but I can't touch it Although there's only a beat between us We always seem to look the other way And is it true what they say about forlorn love That its best to throw away that silly thing And could anybody even try to understand . Why anyone would ever want to go away And why anybody would want to leave The one you should have loved on The other side of the street There's her world and I can't touch it Although there's only a beat between us We always seem to look the other way

Three Weeks 04:25
What is it that makes these Feelings so strong I could hazard a guess but I guess I'd be wrong So what do I owe the Heart of mine that beats So fast Is this a special type of love That you have created Just to break Is this some kind of game That we both know is going To end You said that three weeks would make you so sure you wouldn't Make the same mistakes you made before But you're wrong To think it'll be any better How many times Must we go down this road When will we learn That this story’s been told Best leave it down In the ground Where I picked the broken pieces of this mess Is this a special type of love That you have created Just to break Is this some kind of game That we both know is going To end You said that three weeks would make you so sure you wouldn't Make the same mistakes you made before But you're wrong To think it'll be any better Oh Where is the person I used to see Oh Where is the person I want you to be Oh Where is the time that you spent away Oh Where is the day that you told me no anyway Is this a special type of love That you have created Just to break Is this some kind of game That we both know is going To end You said that three weeks would make you so sure you wouldn't Make the same mistakes you made before But you're wrong To think it'll be any better You're wrong To think it'll be any better You're wrong To think it'll be any better

Cynical 04:18
Since the last time I saw her I've become so cynical I swore I'd never hinge on anybody's Words again Like love and devotion I'll stifle my emotions And convince myself but no one else I'm fine But if its taste against measures You're after Then why don't you just say so To everyone that's waiting for a piece of love themselves And if it's too hard to swallow When you could just leave it alone Leave it to your heart to know what's worse I can't say I'm softly spoken And though I can say I'm trying Words aren't always easy to convert to action But thankfully because I'm human I can pass it off as expected Who could blame a man who means so well? But if its taste against measures You're after Then why don't you just say so To everyone who's waiting for a piece of love themselves And if it's too hard to swallow When you could just leave it alone Leave it to your heart to know what's worse I'm a man, yes a lucky man When all things are considered And though I'm often hurtful I never mean to Cause you harm Seems that if I Beg and plead to be so loved That no one would want me to hold them In my arms again I would lose my only friend (INSTRUMENTAL) And so I'll squander my chance at living A life full of joy Just because I think I'll hurt somebody else again And If that makes me a fool Then I'll have no regrets Because a fool can never know he's one But if its taste against measures You're after Then why don't you just say so To everyone who's waiting for a piece of love themselves And if it's too hard to swallow When you could just leave it alone Leave it to your heart to know what's worse What's worse? What's worse? What's worse? What's could be worse?

She hides away From the creatures that slipped into her mind A lucid dream She could control if only she was asleep They tell her tales Of things that she should do for them And read her mind Feed on her secrets and fears until they drown in her tears It's far from a pleasant nightmare These voices, she can't run away 'Little do they see them fright me' She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray She remembers a time When her head was filled with nothing but her voice Did she lose her mind Or were they always hiding in her eyes She's afraid to dream They could snatch her from anywhere she goes And steal her smile That she glues to her face, while her thoughts; they erase It's far from a pleasant nightmare These voices, she can't run away 'Little do they seem them fright me' She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray It's another escape To let the light inside fade out as they laugh But there's no more that she can say or do when she's Trapped in a half cracked shell She knows their names But will speaking of them bring them closer in She wouldn't dare Say anything, in case she falls in deeper Is it at-all fair? That some can choose to come and go as they please But still stay the same Without something latching onto their skin It's far from a pleasant nightmare These voices, she can't run away 'Little do they seem them fright me' She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray It's far from a pleasant nightmare These voices, she can't run away 'Little do they seem them fright me' She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray It's far from a pleasant nightmare

I Can't Stay 03:13
I can't stay I've got to leave this place right now And I can't say Where I'm going to be But someday I'll see you there And its not really that far But I can't come to visit I'm sorry I can't stay I really wish that I wouldn't have to fly away On wings that I can't fasten To you, to your heart stuck on That earth I haven't time on Anymore Not just now I won't be leaving just quite yet And though the time will go fast I need you not to cry Although I wish My wings would not grow strong I could tumble back to your arms That would wait until the sun fades And I wish I couldn't fly away On wings that I can't fasten To you, to your heart stuck on That earth I haven't time on Anymore I wouldn't strain a single word That I don't need to scream aloud It's so crazy I would want to leave This world in any doubt That I will miss you I will miss you And I wish I wouldn't fly away On wings that I can't fasten To you, to your heart stuck on This earth I haven't time on And I wish I wouldn't fly away On wings that I can't fasten To you, to your heart stuck on This earth I haven't time on anymore
