Verse 1:
Went to a party
I was hoping to get out-of-control
biding my time avoiding people
that I don’t wanna know
I was just leaving when
you whispered something into my ear
Moments are bleeding
heard the message come in
loud and clear now
Chorus 1:
she said that we should get together
I said cause we won’t live forever
So please don’t leave me in the corner standing on my own
when we we could be together stead of dancing all alone - now
Verse 2:
Now at the party things were moving spinning out of control
my friends are leaving
said you better say something
convince me
I’ve been invited so we made our way
back onto the floor
our Time is fleeting
so we cut the rug
and danced some more yeh
Chorus 2:
she said that we should get together
I said cause we won’t live forever
So please don’t leave me in the corner standing on my own
when we we could be together stead of dancing all alone - now
Stead of dancing all alone
Bridge:
Went to a party
got the music moving through your soul High on adrenaline
and now my heart’s about to explode
I’ve been invited by the words you whispered into my ear
went to a party
and we never left the party
till the dawn
never left the party till the dawn
she said
she said
she said
she said

Checkmate

Verse 1:
From the moment that we met
can’t forget it
Had the game right in the bag
3 moves and it’s checkmate
Now I know that love is not sympathetic
I’m like the vinyl on her shelf
waiting to get played (waiting to get played)
And everything she does amazingly
Chorus 1:
That’s why there’s stars round my heart
Never felt this before
If this is love I give in
I can’t take anymore
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
You know I ain’t sleeping
Fall through the dream
Hear the key in my door
And now my hearts in a mess
Like my clothes on the floor
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
The fact I gotta face is love
Verse 2:
She’s only interested in love
at the beginning
We’ll have some fun until she finds another game to play
I walked right on into her web
I’ll admit it
And now I’m underneath the spell
Of loves persuasive ways (of loves...)
The doctor said there ain’t no cure for me
Yehhhhh
Chorus 2:
Shes shooting stars round my heart
Never felt this before
If this is love I give in
I can’t take anymore
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
You know I ain’t sleeping
Fall through the dream
Hear the key in my door
And now my hearts in a mess
Like my clothes on the floor
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
The fact I gotta face is love
Bridge:
And everything she does amazingly
The doctor said there ain’t no cure for me
Chorus 3:
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
You know I ain’t sleeping
Fall through the dream
Hear the key in my door
And now my hearts in a mess
Like my clothes on the floor
You know my hearts weak
It’s taking a beating
It’s been 3 weeks
The fact I gotta face is love

In this world it’s all timing
To catch the back of the train
Ain’t no hitching a ride man
To find that fortune and fame
Chorus 1:
That’s why I’m taking my time at the back of the train
Verse 2:
No I ain’t compromising
Just staying strong in the game

Yeh you’ll find me moving and grooving along
You know I can’t wait for my day in the sun
I’ll be right here just riding at the back of the train
Chorus 2:
I’ll be doing my time
At the back of the train
Bridge
So keep your eyes on the prize and you wait your turn
Fly too close to the sun and you’re bound to get burned
So you roll with the tides now your time has come
Now you’re right at the cusp of your day in the sun
And you fight for your rights till the war is won
From the back of the train heading up to the front
Move on up cause it’s time live your lessons learned
Now you’re right in the light, temple of the sun
Outro
Yeh yeh yeh back of the train
Chorus 3:
And I’ll been taking in life

There's Nobody There

Verse 1:
A lonely freeway
and we’re headed south
The strangest feeling
there’s no one around
A change of seasons
the summer has gone
Just shades of blue
And they blot out the sun
Chorus 1:
Now you told me this connection was real
Now I would beg and I would borrow or steal
Only static in the afterglow
Is there anybody say hello
But there’s nobody there
Verse 2:
We paint the scene
And live so loud
Now waves of silence
Just drown out the sound
A ghostly echo
Is the city tonight
Now our lost connection is haunting my soul now in my opaque mind
Chorus 2:
Now you told me this connection was real
Now I would beg and I would borrow or steal
Only static in the afterglow
Is there anybody say hello
But there’s nobody there
Bridge:
Daylight sun won’t come too early for me
Daylight sun can’t come too early for me
Daylight sun won’t come too early for me now
Daylight sun won’t come too early for me
Daylight sun can’t come too early for me
Lost connection hello is anyone around
But there’s nobody there

Verse 1:
I saw standing there ya just my kind.

Yeh gotta me feeling kind ooh yeh oh yeh

Us kids are crazy got a lust for life
