Any Place, Anywhere
05:45

Standing still in the cold and rain
For a glimpse of you again
I would stand here for a day and a night
Even if it was in vain
I would do so with excitement and no shame
CHORUS1
We can be everything that glitters in the stars
You are the name I want recorded in memoirs
Standing together every time we get a chance
Spending the days in a trance
Never noticed how time flies
Until I spent it with you
Every moment has a hint of surprise
And so much more to do
An excitement that is clear in my eyes for you
CHORUS2
We can be anything and no-one could compare
The end of the world and I wouldn't even care
As long as we're hand in hand whilst escaping out of there
To any place, anywhere

This is a Love Letter
04:53
|
|||
There's pages and pages
All words so sincere
When I knocked on the door there was nobody there
This is a love letter
Like those long ago
A secret admirer that you barely know
CHORUS
I shout from the rooftops
I shout to the clouds
I shout to whoever whenever allowed
I sing with a beauty
That tells how I feel
And I sing with excitement now its all so real
I'd never have gathered
Because I'm so slow
I found myself falling for someone I know
And friendships can shatter
If you take such a path
You end up just ruining everything that you have
CHORUS
Its a guilty secret
But it makes me smile
And I hadn't laughed for such a long while
This is a love letter
Like those long ago
A secret admirer that you barely know
CHORUS

On Demand
06:24
|
|||
When you're wanting to tell someone something but they already know
It could be trivial, it could be life changing or so so
Did you look into some mystic water or use a crystal ball?
It doesn't matter you already know I'm enthralled
CHORUS
We don't need to talk anymore
We communicate by mind
Be it humour, be it rumour, be it some kind of romance - one of a kind
Be it childish, be a wild wish we dreamt up in our minds
Be it flirty, even dirty, be it something only we would understand
Be it clever, oh whatever I want it on demand
When two minds have the same motivation I guess its fair to say
They will probably duplicate at least once a day
I found myself chuckling at something funny you muttered when we awoke
You can sense the strong feelings such actions evoke
CHORUS

Into My Heart
04:05
|
|||
I'm hopeless at most everything
My whole life is a fractured lie
I want a chance to grasp afar
Before I crumple up and die
More painful than the written word
Are the scars that sit upon your spine
All fractured and a broken mess
I tiptoed down a wavering line
CHORUS
But I made my bed
I dreamt a fresh start
And I let you in
Into my heart
I'm looking up into the clouds
Decline to say it is my time
Oh so much to look forward to
I cough but I am feeling fine
The sins of past have washed away
But stains I have upon my shroud
I hope you haven't noticed the angry mob
The maddened crowd
CHORUS

We Could Be
04:21
|
|||
When there's nothing feeling wrong
And no two days seem the same
Singing songs from old Rom Coms
Whilst aspiring still for fame
As the sun begins to fade
But the joy won't disappear
I struck gold and never prayed
Its a good start to the year
Everything's rosy
All that we do
I cannot ever spend enough time with you
CHORUS
We can be shrouded arm in arm
We could be running for a train
We could enjoy every small moment again and again
We could be sweating in the limelight
Of a film no-one would view
We could be anything we want too
There's a movie script somewhere
That I don't have time to write
Anyway who'd really care
If we hug and kiss tonight
Out with the old thoughts
In with the new
I cannot ever spend enough time with you
CHORUS
But really all I want is you

Always Shines
05:13
|
|||
Swaying gently in my old rocking chair
With my age lines and my still greying hair
I can only hope that you are still there
We would reminisce - all of our good times
Naughty vignettes of all of our crimes
Every one of which were all so sublime
CHORUS
To feel your lips
To touch your face
To lose the sprint but won the race
Together in our special place that we desire
To hold your hand
To skip through time
To always know that you are mine
You are a light that always shines so bright with fire
How I counted as the minutes went fast
Guess that happens when you're having a blast
Its far better than my more recent past
Well I never really asked to grow old
But I always did what I was told
It excites me when your touch is so cold
CHORUS

Brief and Valued Time
02:53
|
|||
As another waking day begins
I reflect upon all my past sins
Nothing really too bad or vast
And secured safely in the past
Forget all the hocus pocus
I've set myself a positive focus
CHORUS
Come what may
Together I want us to spend each day
As if it is the last
And what a way to spend our brief and valued time
Every minute that we share entwined
Makes me value how you're the perfect find
And every second that we are apart
Causes cracking in my fragile heart
I stride with a confident swagger
I'm sorry that that makes me a bragger
CHORUS
I realise I have been an eyesore
You're the missing piece in my life's jigsaw
CHORUS
Two lights that shine

Proof of the Pudding
03:07
|
|||
I know its right
I sense that warm loving feeling
I pine at night
Over and over I float to the ceiling
CHORUS
Teaspoon of happiness
One cup of humour
Stir it together to keep me just sane
The proof of the pudding can withstand the rumour
Served with Champagne
It feels so right
You feel so right up against me
I think we might salute to the world and escape across the cold sea
CHORUS

Nobody Turned Away
06:35
|
|||
Now you wouldn't think they'd have the time
But such gossips appealing
Lets take another sip of fizzy wine, my love
Where there's dirt there is a blossoming flower
And I need constant weeding
And it erupts into a super power
Enough
CHORUS
There's cameras and wagging tongues at every move we make
So maybe that's in my mind and most of it is fake
Are we in dream world or just barely half awake
Somebody turned the lights on
Nobody turned away
Now were we seen or cast in shadow?
Is there any real story?
We are not some demented freak show at all
Can I hold you whilst no-one watches?
And in all of our glory
All the stress it bought me out in blotches though small
CHORUS
This is nothing to be ashamed of
I'm eternally happy
And I truly cant get enough my love
CHORUS
