Sunshine

You watch the clock and tap your foot against the beat of the ocean
You’re so together all the time, I see it deep in your eyes
Sooner than later we should drink from all these bottled e-mo-tions
Let's break away, just for the day, it makes me feel so alive
I’m ready for a good time
I’m ready for the sunshine
Was that a smile, you deserve it, I’m glad you find it amusing
Let’s make a habit of it, sunshine getaways for the soul
Tune out the noise that leaves you feeling empty, lose the distractions… move… on
Those pixelated reservations got you wrapped up in gold
I’m ready for a good time
I’m ready for the sunshine
One day we'll get away
One day we'll get away
Above the clouds or lost in crowded streets
Climbing mountains, swimming deep blue seas
As long as you're there with me
I’m ready for a good time
I’m ready for the sunshine

Running the World

Are we in it together
Angry, enough to go around
All we wanted was forever
What we got instead
Was not what had been said
Think we can at least agree
Conquer and divide
Do not close your eyes
This is what you need to see
I never said I'd never change my mind
But give me reason not to draw a line
Hear us yelling in the great divide
There's no more, more, more money to burn
Got me feeling like we're wasting time
The punishment never fits the crime
I'm wide awake because I can't decide
Who to blame for
Who's running the world
Time we get it together
Say something
Anything at all
How you gonna feel
Where you gonna go
Do you think it's time to leave
Conquer and divide
Do not close your eyes
This is what you need to see
I never said I'd never change my mind
But give me reason not to draw a line
Hear us yelling in the great divide
There's no more, more, more money to burn
Got me feeling like we're wasting time
The punishment never fits the crime
I'm wide awake because I can't decide
Who to blame for
Who's running the world
Who's running the world
It's us
Who's running the world
It's us

Patterns

You looked the other way
You looked the other way
I’m done now
Move on now
I’ll find another way
I’ll find another way
So be gone now
Be gone now
Some are friends and some you lose
He pushed her and you always knew
you did nothing
(you) said nothing
Patterns always repeat, circle back around you
Someday you’ll learn he’s saving himself by using you
To help him build his lie
But she told the truth to me
Nothing to cast aside
I know it’s been eating you… alive
She left before that day
She found a peaceful way
She’s gone now
Moved on now
You looked the other way
You looked the other way
We’re done now
Moved on now
Patterns always repeat, circle back around you
Someday you’ll learn he’s saving himself by using you
To help him build his lie
But she told the truth to me
Nothing to cast aside
I know it’s been eating you… alive

In it for Love

Lead me to the edge
Back where we belong
Back when love was new
Oh, I'm ready now
Let me be the one
You've been dreaming of
Feel our heartbeat now and always, always
'Round the corner we're at full speed
Breathe a little faster, I never want to hurt you
We take the chances that we want to
To hang onto the mystery, I never want to lose you
We can be the magic that we see in the light
You know I'm in it for love
You know I'm in it for love
In a world of shadows, when I'm lost in the night
You'll find me in it for love
You know I'm in it for love
In a perfect world
We could see it all
We could right the wrongs
I could go on and on
Let me be the one you've been dreaming of
Feel our heartbeat now and always, always
'Round the corners, we're at full speed
Breathe a little faster, I never want to lose you
We can be the magic that we see in the light
You know I'm in it for love
You know I'm in it for love
In a world of shadows, when I'm lost in the night
You'll find me in it for love
You know I'm in it for love
There's magic all around you
A mystery surrounds you
There's magic all around you
A mystery surrounds you
We can be the magic that we see in the light
You know I'm in it for love
You know I'm in it for love
In a world of shadows, when I'm lost in the night
You'll find me in it for love
You know I'm in it for love

Play it Safe
03:50

Will you ever think yourself
Make it to the store on your own
GPS in every lane
We still get the run around
We better play it safe
Everybody’s safe
We better play it safe
Everybody’s safe
Well you always gave me chills
All the way up and down my spine
Then you went and sailed away
It felt like this other time
We better play it safe
Everybody’s safe
Won’t survive a change of lanes
Driving at this pace
Control yourself in the situation
Convince yourself what you can
Carry on like its never been there
If I’m stunned, understand
You’re sitting too close to the tav, aren’t you
Can’t make up your mind
I could make it so much easier for you
The radio is fine
So that was that
That was that
Better play it safe
Everybody’s safe
Better play it safe
Everybody’s safe

The city’s getting boring it’s evident
Crowded people in the streets
Let’s go
We need a little room to breathe again
Oh you’re looking but you know
The city’s getting boring it’s evident
Crowded people on the street
Let’s go
