Alien

she comes from outer space
not quite like the human race
doesn't know how to change to fit in
bright lights and roller skates
lipstick and a painted face
oh is this the way
to make it here
she's got two left feet
and she doesn't speak their language
and she thinks she should get out of this maze
she's tired of feeling like she's strange but
the earthlings make her want to stay
and it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
the other girls, they're beautiful
no makeup just natural
but she just wants to hide behind a brand new face
she's got two left feet
and she doesn't speak their language
and she doesn't understand what humans crave
she's tired of feeling like she's strange but
the earthlings make her want to stay
and it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
she begins to realize she's not alone
on this strange strange earth she finds
everyone is an alien
everyone is hiding something
something deep inside
everyone is an alien
everyone is hiding something
something deep inside
and it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
it's a long way home
and it's a long way home (everyone is an alien)
it's a long way home (everyone is hiding something)
it's a long way home (something deep inside)
it's a long way home (everyone is an alien)
it's a long way home (everyone is hiding something)
it's a long way home (something deep inside)
everyone is an alien

Girl On The Run

She's never seen a smile like that before
She used to be able to just ignore
Everything around her, unnecessary laughter was not a part of her routine
She knew what she was after, nothing in her way she was gonna stay clean
She said "I don't want to throw my life away on some boy
But my heart, oh my heart is making too much noise"
And she hears the sound
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
She will stand her ground
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Whoa what he has he done
He's turned her into a girl on the run
From love, from hate, from hurt, from fate
From all the little things that make life great
Whoa look what's begun
He's turned her into a girl on the run
A girl on the run
He's a romantic he's always been
He's been looking for someone like him
Then she came along she sang a different song but he wants her just the same
A perfect mystery she seems to be but she won't stay that way
She said "I don't want to throw my life away on some boy"
But his heart, oh his heart, is making too much noise
And he hears the sound
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
He will stand his ground
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Whoa what he has he done
He's in love with a girl on the run
From love, from hate, from hurt, from fate
From all the little things that make life great
Whoa look what's begun
He's in love with a girl on the run
A girl on the run
A girl on the run
If love be rough with you be rough with love
If love be rough with you be rough with love
Whoa what he has he done
He's turned her into a girl on the run
From love, from hate, from hurt, from fate
From all the little things that make life great
Whoa look what's begun
He's turned her into a girl on the run
A girl on the run
A girl on the run

The Romantic

i have romanticized
every little thing that you've said
to me
i didn't mean it
it just happens when you have
an overactive imagination
i see you in my dreams
and it's so vivid
that i swear it seems
like it really happened
and i'm shocked
when you don't sweep me off my feet
in the morning
oh i just want someone to hold my hand
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
but there must be someone out there
i keep asking why,
why'd it have to be me,
the romantic?
i'm sorry, i just like you
and your eyes are telling me
it goes both ways
i'm not asking much,
though i already know that
i am loved
it's hard to believe i'm anything
when you don't say i am
cause i just want someone to hold my hand
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
but there must be someone out there
i am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
with roses, and candles, and starlight, and you
but will it ever be enough? no
i am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
with roses, and candles, and starlight, and you
but will it ever be enough? no
i am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
with roses, and candles, and starlight, and you
but it'll never be enough
it's never enough
i just want someone to hold my hand (i just want)
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand (hold my hand)
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me (i know it's hard to love me)
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally (but try)
but there must be someone out there
oh there must be someone out there

Chance (Jump In)

he sees her walking through a coffee shop
and his ability to think just stops
get up, say hello, you'll miss your chance, oh no
he wants to ask what's on her mind
he wants to know what she's thinking all the time
get up, say hello, you'll miss your chance, oh no
being awkward's charming these days
so you might as well go for it
go for it
you'll never know when you get this chance again
so just take it
take it
cause everyday, you'll regret it
if you don't say hello
just greet her and smile
and ask her name
it takes baby steps for most things i know
but sometimes you've just gotta jump in
jump in, jump in, jump in, jump in
so he gets up, paces the room
and he knows he's gotta do it soon
get up, say hello, you'll miss your chance, oh no
so one word, just a "hi"
she smiles and the whole world seems alright
you just said hello, this is your chance, oh no
being awkward's charming these days
so you might as well go for it
go for it
you'll never know when you get this chance again
so just take it
take it
cause everyday, you'll regret it
if you don't say hello
just greet her and smile
and ask her name
it takes baby steps for most things i know
but sometimes you've just gotta jump in
jump in, jump in, jump in, jump in
cause everyday, you'll regret it
if you don't say hello
just greet her and smile
and ask her name
it takes baby steps for most things i know
but sometimes you've just gotta jump in
jump in, jump in, jump in, jump in

Show Me How

a lot of people have messed with my heart lately
i let them in, they break me down
that’s how it goes in the world apparently
they all say
“trouble just finds me
i don’t go looking”
they say
“trouble just finds me”
i never felt like i was anything like that before
but now i’m broken and my chest is beating sore
it’s the same monotone drone on the radio
telling me loves gonna save me
feeding me things that i thought i knew
but how can i know certainly
i can’t and that’s what makes me crazy
i don’t have control
show me how to trust in you
show me how to let it go
i want to believe there’s good in things around me
i want to believe them when they say
“trouble just finds me
i don’t go looking”
they say
‘trouble just finds me”
it’s the same monotone drone on the radio
telling me loves gonna save me
feeding me things that i thought i knew
but how can i know certainly
i can’t and that’s what makes me crazy
i don’t have control
show me how to trust in you
show me how to let it go
let it go
let it go
look me in the eyes and tell me that i can be fixed
look me in the eyes and tell me you won’t leave me like this
you’re not just a monotone drone on the radio
your love will save me
you will bring me to the clear truth
one that i can know certainly
you love me even though i’m crazy
i don’t need control
show me how to trust in you
show me how to let it go

I had a bittersweet realization
While we were standing under the lights
Blinding my eyes and opening them
It wasn’t you, it was all me
I was changing, and breaking off from loving you
I have been set free by this
Bittersweet realization
You are still good company
But I’m no longer waiting for
Some demonstration of love
Some kind of sign from up above
I’m happy and I’m sad
But how can you mourn what you never had?
Part of me is screaming “what now?!
You don’t have a chance now!
He was all you had!”
But that just shows me it’s not healthy
Making loving someonebe me
So I’m gonna just gonna have to work it out
I have been set free by this
Bittersweet realization
You are still good company
But I’m no longer waiting for
Some demonstration of love
Some kind of sign from up above
I’m happy and I’m sad
But how can you mourn what you never had?
I’m gonna miss dancing round the kitchen every time that you text me
Bending over backwards just to make you look at me
Spending all my daydreams thinking of what could be
You and
Catching your eyes having secrets that only we keep
And knowing inside it only matters to me
Spending all my daydreams thinking of what could be
You and me
I have been set free by this
Bittersweet realization
You are still good company
But I’m no longer waiting for
Some demonstration of love
Some kind of sign from up above
I’m happy and I’m sad
But how can you mourn what you never had?
