Waiting on you Trying to keep your head strong With nothing to lose You raise your voice with something to prove And all the things you say to me I can't forget them You don't leave But you tell me with your eyes what you need Oh, please Do you think that I don't know what it means? All the things you hide from me I accept them But I need you next to me If I can't hold you now Keep thinking that you might not come around I have no words I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first You say it first to me You're in the clear While I'm waking up to nothing but tears And you stay the same Like I'm the only one that needed to change You know, the things you said to me Do you regret them? I just need you next to me If I can't hold you now Keep thinking that you might not come around I have no words I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first You say it first to me So I Can just forget you Just forget you, ooh, ooh Can just forget you Just forget you, ooh, ooh And If I can't hold you now Keep thinking how you might not come around And I have no words I have no words to say If I can't change your mind Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? You say it first, you say it first to me If I can't hold you now (if I can't hold you now) Keep thinking that you might not come around (might not come around) I have no words I have no words to say If I can't change your mind (if I can't change your mind) Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye (our last goodbye) You say it first You say it first to me

Standing here in the rain I can see the water soaking through The holes in your shoes And turn your mind from the storm Get you somewhere safe Where it's soft and warm I'm waiting here at a dim street light Orange dances around in your empty eyes And I can see straight into your soul Feeling oh so lost and out of control Oh Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Shine If the world gets you down Don't be afraid to wrestle it Shine You have your whole life ahead of you Come, make a mess of it Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Who are you to question it Tired now, feeling scared Unfamiliar light floods into the room You have walked into Hopeful eyes looking out As you wait alone Hiding tears of doubt Now holding back as you realize your abandonment You'll be cast aside And I can see straight into your soul Feeling oh so lost and out of control Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Shine If the world gets you down Don't be afraid to wrestle it Shine You have your whole life ahead of you Come, make a mess of it Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Who are you to question it Hold my hand when the lights go down And you're feeling scared, but no one understands Keep your head up and don't look down I'll guard your stance to keep you on the ground Your love is strong And they just don't deserve To choose where you belong Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Shine If the world gets you down Don't be afraid to wrestle it Shine You have your whole life ahead of you Come, make a mess of it Shine If your heart tells you to Then who are you to question it Who are you to question it.

Nobody knows my love Nobody knows my love In the gods, we hide away Nobody ever looks up Like the heavy summer heats I don't see past my love He wakes me quietly With a kiss that lingers like evergreen We drift so sweet With his eyes, he speaks to me silently Nobody knows my love Nobody knows but us There's a world out there That would keep us apart Let's stay here where We're safe in the dark Nobody knows my love For how long we've been this way And ever if it rains, my love Oh, there'll be hurricanes And rivers will come rushing through the gates But love, it will land somewhere Love that we'll have somewhere To let all of our currents, mmm There's a world out there That would keep us apart Let's stay here where We're safe in the dark Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Nobody knows my love Nobody knows but us

Maybe I know it's just maybe And we're only dreaming For how this will go But maybe One day this day dream Will turn into real things For all that we know We could be doing anything that we love Just be carried by the way the wind blows on You could be doing anything you dream of If you believe in the things that make you strong Someday We'll meet on the high street We'll laugh about when we worried about what we might be Then maybe We'll talk about old days We'll smile in our old ways You'll always be a part of me We could be doing anything that we love Just be carried by the way the wind blows on You could be doing anything you dream of If you believe in the things that make you strong You could be doing anything you dream of If you believe in the things that make you strong Maybe I know it's just maybe And we're only dreaming For how this will go Just maybe (You could be doing anything you dream of) Maybe Maybe

Caught up in the riptide Like a storm on a dark night, in so deep And it's pulling me from both sides It's hard to stay alright in this changing sea And I'm so full of rage Used to keep that fire to bed Now I don't know who I've become And another day breeds, tearing at the seams And I hope I don't come undone When the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way So far up a red light into the black sky Do you see me now? Do the echoes of my heart reach you where you are? Do you hear the sound? I still long to feel your touch You're the iron in my blood You know my love will never change And I lie up in my bed, fighting shadows in my head I pray you'll get to me someway When the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way Oh, lead me home Back to safer shores Oh, lead me home Back to where I belong Oh, lead me home Back into your arms Oh, lead me home, home And when the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home When the sunrise won't come Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way

I find shelter in this way Undercover, hide-away And can you hear? When I say, "I have never felt this way" Maybe I have said something that was wrong Can I make it better? With the lights turned off? Maybe I have said something that was wrong Can I make it better? With the lights turned off? Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Ooh... Can I be? Well was I there? Felt so crystal in the air I still want to drown, whenever you leave Please teach me gently, how to breathe And I'll cross oceans like never before So you can feel, the way I feel it too And I'll send images back at you So you can see, the way I feel it too Maybe I have said something that was wrong Can I make it better? With the lights turned off? Maybe I have said something that was wrong Can I make it better? With the lights turned off? Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Ooh... Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Ooh...

It's so cold, baby, it's dark outside Winter comes creeping in through the night And it's so hard when I just wanna hold you tight Breaks my heart, but nothing can break this ice Hold on, hold on Baby, just be strong And I will be honest and let you go This is the reason and you should know Through all that you promise, I can see None of your dreams ever have time for me So this is the reason I let you go And I will be honest and you should know Through all that you promise, I can see None of your dreams ever have time for me And it's so quiet, baby, it's hard to breathe Black as ink, the silence is deafening And it's so hard to look into distant eyes And feel your heart slowly tie away from mine So long, so long Baby, you're long gone And I will be honest and let you go This is the reason and you should know Through all that you promise, I can see None of your dreams ever have time for me So this is the reason I let you go I will be honest and you should know Through all that you promise, I can see None of your dreams ever have time for me He-he-he-he-hey He-he-he-he-hey He-he-he-he-hey-hey Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh None of your dreams take me with you None of your dreams let me love you None of your dreams take me with you Take me with you, ey, ey, ey, ey None of your dreams take me with you None of your dreams let me love you None of your dreams take me with you Take me with you, ey ey ey ey None of your dreams take me with you None of your dreams let me love you None of your dreams take me with you Take me with you, ey ey ey ey None of your dreams take me with you None of your dreams let me love you None of your dreams take me with you Take me with you, ey ey ey ey None of your dreams take me with you Ooh, ooh ooh

Baring my soul to you And here comes the rain again Once the weight of the world was a feather Sweet innocence There is a dusty room Kept for a friend Through the windows to the world, wide open When will I see you again? We used to be the raincatchers And we couldn't see what we were running from You made me feel like Nothing really matters Here in my dreams, we're raincatchers Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters, nothing really matters If we let this run Caught on a river Everything that we left unspoken Will never be said And you forgot (miss you always) But I remembered (I remembered) We used to be the raincatchers And we couldn't see what we were running from You made me feel like Nothing really matters Here in my dreams, we're raincatchers Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters, nothing really matters If I called out Would you listen? The shaking ground Do you feel it? (Do you feel it?) If I called out (if I called out) Would you listen? (Would you listen?) Shaking ground (if I called out) Would you feel it? Far away I'll remember (I'll remember) We used to be the raincatchers And we couldn't see what we were running from And you made me feel like Nothing really matters (nothing really matters) Where have you been, raincatcher? Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters, nothing really matters Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh
