If you’re coming to England Sometime soon Oh we should link in London Yeah that would be cool I’ll be the perfect Englishman You’ll see I’ll meet you at arrivals Rocking Burberry Yeah there’s a thousand places We could go Yeah we could thrift in Camden ‘Cause I’ve never been no Yeah we could spend all day At the galleries And I’d be down to blow my paycheck On a bite to eat And you don’t need to say That it won’t be the same Oh we’re planets away but I was thinking someday Oh it could be a year or two I don’t know And I don’t wanna Spend that time alone Oh any man is a fool Not to want to impress you But I know I was put here To do more than miss you Don’t wanna overstep now And make this the end But the way that I feel Well who could pretend And I know And I know And I know I’m insane But I’ll never meet someone Like you again-ain-ai-ain And you don’t need to say That you don’t feel the same Oh we’ve always been planets away but I was hoping one day Oh to have it for you Is to love like a child Oh to have it for you Is to love like a child

It’s out the window I watch it fly on by Stuck in the back seat We used to get so high I slipped and fell Got stuck with two black eyes I was only five then Oh man I cried and cried I know you raised me I know that I’m your child Don’t worry mama No I’ll be fine Don’t worry about me I swear I’m gonna be alright Didn’t think they’d ever love me No something ‘bout it wasn’t right I think about it constantly but Just gotta give it time I wanna be afraid of losing I wanna put up more of a fight And I got these daydreams Now I just gotta make ‘em mine Don’t worry mama No I’ll be fine Don’t worry about me I swear I’m gonna be alright Don’t worry mama No I’ll be fine This world you gave me I’ll set it right on fire
6.
How things have changed these past few years (Walking city streets) How I’ve grown despite my fears I am content with the life that I’ve made for myself thus far (Got nowhere to be) But not content enough to remain stagnant When I was a child I was so extroverted and carefree (I left my home) Then something changed once adolescence came around (Oh, to be alone) I wish I could return to that childlike wonder (Walking city streets) Leave anxiousness and social restraint in the past Each day I’m getting closer to that goal (Got nowhere to be) Three steps forward Five steps back Three steps forward Five steps back (I left my home) A brutal tedious journey Me against myself (Oh, to be alone) But it will be worth it in the end It will all be worth it in the end

TAKE MY HAND 02:34
Oh my love you look so thin What went wrong and where’ve you been I see tired eyes sit on your grin I think you fell And now you’re him I know you brother you’re my own kin You think your hurt is just one big sin But I see him still that kid within I know you fell You think you’re him Don’t be so hard no don’t give in And you’re not alone I’m in a tailspin No matter what you’ll love again So you fell Take my hand
8.
Here we go again Feel the night go to my head A thousand lights fill the night Walking up to the vault of the sky And God tonight Let me win And I know and I know It’s something within I breathe out and let love in If not right now just tell me when And I’d feel the same if I were a child ‘Cause I was born to get you to smile And God tonight Let me win And I know and I know It’s something within
