What's It Mean?
03:50

Never say the things you wana say
When the chance comes around you slip away
Was it just too serious?
Or not so important?
If you’ve got something to say
Why don’t you say it twice?
Tell me it’s alright, alright
How I’m living my life, my life
Searching the words all written
Seems I’ve just got to live it
Tell me what’s it mean, what’s it mean
What’s the meaning of life?
If we cannot see or believe
Do we leave it behind?
Tell me what’s it mean, who we be
Who we being tonight?
Maybe you and me
You and me
We’re the meaning of…
When thoughts come to play
We don’t get along
Everything I say
You think it’s wrong
When did we get so serious?
You know, we’re not important
But it really doesn’t matter
And that’s what’s nice

No Games

What just happened
Did I slip and fall away?
Now seems like the breath ain’t getting in the way
Tell me what you see when you blink
And you realise the glitter ain’t in your eyes
And I wana be the best thing that ever happened in your life
But you gotta tell me
You can’t be playing games
You made me do this
You came here to be friends
But now you want it
What we gotta do to make us wana stay
Didn’t wana lose my name
Didn’t wana give up strength
Know you’re scared of the change
So you gotta tell me
Let me break it down…
Do you drink from my crown?
When I know you’re looking at my future like it’s ours now
But I thought differently
I’m not one for destiny
Though it’s different with you and me
What did I say?
I could’ve worded it better
But thinking about it
I don’t really care
I don’t really know what I wanted to say
A little lack of independence
Should’ve known better than to doubt this
Forever
What does that mean anyway?
I’m so glad we’ve got this time together

Nothing Wrong
03:45

Nothing wrong with us
Just a little bit
I won’t hold it against me
When I’m giving up
Let me roll your paper
Put a light to it
I won’t hold it against me
When I’m giving up to it
Can I be honest?
I make me conscious of losing my way
It might be crazy
I feel my tragedy flowing away
Even in the dark of days
If you see me in the light, just stay
You make me feel guilt like no other
Couldn’t help but say I’m sorry
Didn’t wana rest no more
I just wana feel involved
Longing for the gold
Every time I try
Try forgive myself
You keep coming back and telling me it’s not good enough
And every time I think
This way has gotten old
There is just another fear of journeys yet untold
Don’t wana hear that
When you said you weren’t good enough
You could be so cruel to me
What does that prove?
I wana hit that
But I don’t wana feel so bad
Giving up on feeling it
Nothing wrong

By Your Name
04:13
|

When you can’t see the difference between mine and your ways
Is it true to say
You’re pulling from nowhere?
Again you’re talking only from one place
Could’ve used your mind
Couldn’t recognise
Wouldn’t even hold on my gaze
But it’s better to remain
In the virtue of your place
I just wana know if you would stay
You call me by your name
If you’re willing to change
Are you willing to change?
You’re guna wish someday that you started today
Your way
Every time I’m mumbling
I’ve been thinking, I’ve got to get back again
Focused on the things that make me feel alive
Even if we couldn’t stray the path no more
But I wouldn’t run away
I’m not clouded by the shame
I just wana know the truth you’d say
You call me by your name
If you’re willing to change
Are you willing to change?
You’re guna wish someday that you started today
Your way
You wana pass the blame
You’re not willing to change
Are you willing to change?
You’re guna wish someday that you started today
On your way
Tell me why you wouldn’t talk
Tell me what you wanted to say
Wouldn’t wana close you down
Wouldn’t wana cause a pain
Wouldn’t wana cause you pain
Feeling comfortable with you
How many thousands have died in vain?
When they’ve fallen through the data chain
One more time’s too many
Wouldn’t want it happening to you
One more time
How many one more times?
I can’t be with you one more time

Make My Way
05:36
|

Never thought that I could take this over
I’m always hurting to save the day
And when I’m falling I might think it’s over
You take away
And now you tell me everything is over
I’m always happy to take the blame
Never knowing how to say the real things
You made me this way
And now I’m fine with everything you say
‘Cos I put it to the back of my head
I’ve been frightened to stay away
But what if I could’ve made a change
And now I’ll find a way to take this over
I can’t make this on my own
You always say I’ll understand when I’m older
I’ll make my way
Never thought that I could grow stronger
I always held myself to blame
And when I fell I always found a way
But I felt the shame
And now I’m finding all the lovers end
I can’t bare another darker day
And when you, you’re reflected in the water
I fade away
Now I’ll find a way to take this over
Gotta make it on my own
You always say I’ll understand when I’m older
I’ll make my way
I made my way
