Forbidden Fruit

Thought I was doing alright, ‘til she came into my life
With a smile that could tear the world apart
An ultimatum for the vulnerable heart
Toxic conversation never felt so good
Am I tempting fate or simply misunderstood?
Always had a sweet tooth
The proof is in the pudding
Should I stay here or should I be running?
The forbidden fruit, it always tastes sweeter
But the bitter guilt it turns you weaker
It’s the right time, it’s the right time baby
Looking so fine, in the sunshine maybe
We can rendez-vous
Maybe just us two
Don’t have to say a word
It’s just for me and you

Era
04:28

Walking down old memory lane
My thoughts colluded and then turned to shame
Though nothing much seems to have changed
Like the traffic driving thru the rain
I seemed to lose my own sense of direction
But I recall that something stayed the same
Remembering the day you took my hand
And told me “never again”
We are riding on the crest of a wave
That will determine the rest of our fate
But all we need to do is hang on
To the things that will always matter
But we also gotta learn to let go
We’re at the end of an era, the end of an era
I went over to your old place
The sun was beaming down on my face
I was just waiting for the sky to fall
I couldn’t help but start to think
Did any of this ever happen at all?

Back at Square One
03:56
|

|
You shook me to my foundations
A shadow of a broken man
Every move a hesitation
Too modest to admit no-one understands
I had you in my masterplan
You pulled the rug from under my feet
Reached the same conclusion
As regret swept over me
I was riding on the crest of a wave
In a sea of despair
When you reached out to me
When no-one else seemed to care
You slipped thru my fingers
I threw it all away
Now I’m back at square one
I was led astray

Ornaments

Lately I’ve been having time to myself
Four walls, dusty ornaments on the shelf
And I thought I might need somebody
I thought that I might need somebody
Last I saw you, you looked a picture of health
But now you have moved onto someone else
And just as I thought that I might need somebody again
I thought that I could love somebody again
You have a skill for looking like you’re listening to me
But I know that what I say just travels thru your ears
I’ve told you once, twice, three times,
four times, five times, six times
Over and over
But you know that what I have to tell you
You just don’t want to hear
So we fell apart and now I miss you
Like it was at the start when I first kissed you
But then you changed, you turned into someone else
And now I’m here… dusty ornaments on the shelf
You just don’t want to hear
You just don’t want to hear
You just don’t want to hear
You just don’t want to hear

Fortune

They say that there may be trouble up ahead
They say that we could all end up dead
As you look down into your phone
Your whole life is running thru your head
You have never felt so alone
Facing each day with a sense of dread
What kind of life is it to stay so negative?
Get out of bed, enjoy all that the world can give
Build bridges and not walls
Stand up and walk tall
Never stop just keep going (keep going)
Good fortune will start flowing
Fresh water will cleanse your face
The clear breeze will ease your mind
You will be walking with your head held high
And everything will be just fine
What kind of life is it to stay so negative?
Get out of bed enjoy all that the world can give
Build bridges and not walls
Stand up and walk tall
Never stop just keep going (and keep going)
And good fortune will start flowing
Fresh water will cleanse your face
The clear breeze will ease your mind
You will be walking with your head held high
And everything will be just fine
So take another look at your face
Have another glass of wine
You got the whole world on your case
But everything will be just fine
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
(everything will be just fine)

Area 51

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night
And wonder if there’s any point to your life?
What have you contributed to the world?
And are you truly happy with that girl?
Your mind is in area 51
Forgotten dreams, forgotten sun
It’s such a dangerous place to be
Searching for positivity
Do you remember the days when you were still fearless?
You had time to be anything you wanted to be
But what have you contributed to the world?
And are you truly happy with that girl?
Your mind is in area 51
Forgotten dreams, forgotten sun
It’s such a dangerous place to be
Searching for positivity
It’s easy to blame someone else
It’s easy to say you got no help
But only you can make the changes
Life’s too short not to re-arrange it
Your mind is in area 51
Forgotten dreams, forgotten sun
It’s such a dangerous place to be
Searching for positivity
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

Speed of Light

Faster than the speed of light
She walked in and out of my life
A lifetime of emotions caught in the blink of an eye
Quicker than the speed of sound
My whole life came crashing down
Just alone with my thoughts staring deeply into the sky
Just another spent with myself wondering why
Who are you, who am I?
Caught up in the rush of life
Just two passing strangers
There’s no time to say ‘hi’
There’s no time for goodbyes
Caught up in endeavours
Like two ships passing thru the night
Searching for the daylight
We were searching for a better time
A reason why, a better life
(looking for a better, looking for a better)
Faster than the speed of light
She walked in and out of my life
I lost track of what was wrong and what was right
More vicious than a raging sea
The window of opportunity slammed shut on me
