NEW START

Remember when, we were struggling
Our broken dreams, sounded deafening
New start, we’re on another level
Tick tock, the clock isn’t the devil
so sure, secure
New start, we’re on another level
Tick tock, it’s time for it to settle
so sure, secure
Priorities, rediscovering
Commonplace, now means everything
I see better days
I see better tomorrows
New Start no seconds thoughts
A new beat with a new heart, yeah
I see better days
I see better tomorrows
A new beat with a new heart
a new sound with a new start, yeah
a new beat with a new heart
a new sound with a …

THE REST OF OUR LIVES
04:07
|

|
We were shaken to the core
We were wounded and hurt some more
Felt like daggers
Felt like swords
In the back a blind attack
Something you can’t prepare for
But they say there’s no gain
when there’s no pain
We didn’t fall
But we were shaken
Might be cracked
But we’re not breaking
Standing tall looking at the rest of our lives
We’ve come this far
And we’re not quitters
Not giving up
No that’s not in us
Praying hard looking at the rest of our lives
The rest of our lives
A broken promise will leave you sore
It means those words aren’t good anymore
Turn around
And run away fast
Shake off the dust now
and don’t look back
But they say no gain
When there’s no pain
Heaven knows we’ve been though some hell
we’ve been rich and we’ve been beggars
we’ve been safe and lived through dangers
Heaven knows we’ve been through some hell
we’ve had lovers, we’ve had haters
but here we are nothing can break us

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
03:04

We’re all looking for a good life
we just wanna be alright
try to force the hands of time
but we’re not getting younger
We’re all living in the fast lane
Feeling like we can’t escape
but who said this was a race
with winners and losers
It’s a wonderful life
we’re gonna be alright, yeah
we gotta keep our faith
be strong and be brave
It’s a wonderful life
Can we make this a better place
Stop the wars and live in peace
Can we find a way to agree
that being different is ok
Is it possible to turn around
we’re like a ship that’s run aground
Let’s flood the world with love now
We take so much for granted
Why don’t we just stop and reflect
on what we call precious moments
and learn to smile again
learn to smile again, yeah

PHILOSOPHY
04:08
|

I’ve got a new perspective
Got a new Philosophy
Got a new way of seeing
Everything around me
I didn’t break up with nobody
I didn't change my hair
and all my questions
their still there, their still there
I feel so good, I feel so free!
Is it real, is it real?
Am I a ghost, is this a dream?
Is it real, is it real?
The way I feel!
Everything is different now
but Everything’s the same
I’ve had so much fear about
getting back in this game
Oh it’s something spiritual
Something brand new
When I look in the mirror
it’s how I see you, it’s how I see you
I’ve come a long long way
and it’s not been easy
oh but here I am
with the way i’m feeling

FIX OURSELVES
07:08
|
|||
|
We get so good at hiding
we get so good at smiling through the pain
tell ourselves to fight it
so no one else will know that we’re not ok
We paint a pretty picture
cover up the pain with a masquerade
we can try to hide it
but this isn’t the way life's supposed to be
Everyone is broken
hard as we try we can’t fix ourselves
and we’ve all been hoping
there is someone who can make us well
yeah we've tried every potion
that this world has tried to sell
yeah, nothings been working
hard as we try we can’t fix ourselves
We look at one another
as we try to find our missing piece
we can fit together
maybe then we will both feel complete
It turns into disaster
and the tears rain down at our feet
a thousand miles between us
I can’t fix you and you can’t fix me
Maybe there’s beauty in our brokenness
and purpose in the pain
Maybe we weren’t meant to be perfect anyway, yeah
What if we stop chasing perfect and learn to be ok
maybe then we could love more everyday
maybe then we could love more everyday
