Roll up roll up The shows about to start Grab your tickets Cause he’s gonna steal your heart Charming snakes and fortune tellers Traveling love they’re trying to sell us But I got the real thing I always make magic with you I always make magic with you Don’t need no other man With his Slight of hand I’ll call it quits With his bad box of tricks Smoke and mirrors Make it clear I always make magic….. with you Hold up hold up How’d you make me feel so sure I got my ticket For my Mister mystery tour Smoky nights and Fire Kisses I don’t need no genie wishes Cause I got the real thing I always make magic with you I always make magic with you Don’t need no other man With his Slight of hand I’ll call it quits With his bad box of tricks Smoke and mirrors Make it clear I always make magic….. with you I always make magic I always make magic I always make magic with you With you Don’t need a circus clown Who’s leaving town No rabbit hat Or acrobat The lions tame Best up his game Tell the biggest star To pack his cards Thats all for show Baby don’t you know 
 I always make magic…. with you I always make magic I always make magic with you I always make magic I always make magic with you

Woe is me  I left you on the line again Hopefully  You’ll get the message like I do Got better things to do than please you  Finally  You got my attention  But its not that deep  It’s a pretty freaky thing to do When I don’t know you You’re in denial why oh why oh Don’t you ever think before you speak So in denial why oh why oh  Did you think you’re all I’ll ever need  Don’t tell me to smile why oh why oh I Dont need to get swept off my feet  Cause I got better places to be as well  So don’t drag your heels all the way to hell You’ve got 1,2, 3 Seconds to stop sending me This Flattery Everything you say I see through And I don’t need you You’re in denial why oh why oh Don’t you ever think before you speak So in denial why oh why oh  Did you think you’re all I’ll ever need  Don’t tell me to smile why oh why oh I Dont need to get swept off my feet  Cause I got better places to be as well  So don’t drag your heels all the way to hell all the way to hell all the way to hell Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh Tell me why oh why oh why oh You’re in denial why oh why oh Don’t you ever think before you speak So in denial why oh why oh  Did you think you’re all I’ll ever need  Don’t tell me to smile why oh why oh I Dont need to get swept off my feet  Cause I got better places to be as well  So don’t drag your heels all the way to hell all the way to hell all the way to hell

Heads I'm Yours (Tails You're Mine) 03:14
lyrics

See you there in the parking lot Beat up car in the same old spot Drive me home But you don’t know I’m thinkin’ bout you in a different way How your eyes light up when Oasis plays Is there something more? I’m not sure But there you are right on cue babe Hooked on every little thing you say Don’t you wanna find out what we turn into? Tonight looks good on you babe So whatcha wanna do? Maybe If I play my cards right I can steal your heart I don’t wanna jump the gun But what if you’re the one Baby I’m here all night Flip a coin The stars align Heads I’m yours Tails you’re mine Pouring coffee for a minimum wage Miss those nights on a spotlit stage Fade to black I’m way off track I’d play guitar to a crowded room Sing the song that I wrote for you Is this a dream? Feels real to me But there you are right on cue babe Hooked on every little thing you say Don’t you wanna find out what we turn into? Tonight looks good on you babe So whatcha wanna do? Maybe If I play my cards right I can steal your heart I don’t wanna jump the gun But what if you’re the one Baby I’m here all night Flip a coin The stars align Heads I’m yours Tails you’re mine Tails you’re mine The odds are in our favour I’m all in So put your money on somebody who would give you everything Maybe I’ll play my cards right I’ll steal your heart I don’t wanna jump the gun But I think you’re the one Baby I’m here all night Flip a coin The stars align Heads I’m yours Tails you’re mine

VERSE 1 Cant see the wood for the trees Safe here beneath the Canopy Blanket of home won’t let you breathe But There’s still a road back to me  PRE  When it feels like you’re too far into the fog You’re never lost  CHORUS There’s blue skies a comin’  Batten the hatches and brave the storm blue skies a comin’  Through all the madness I’ll keep you warm  When it gets cold, Darling I’ll hold you, and these old bones of yours  blue skies a comin’ Soon I’m sure  VERSE 2 ‘Here comes the sun’ on the radio  Through silent months of heavy snow Air in my lungs I can’t let go  Fold me in your arms I’m not alone  PRE  When it feels like I’m too far into the fog I’m never lost  CHORUS There’s blue skies a comin’  Batten the hatches and brave the storm There’s blue skies a comin’  Through all the sadness I’ll keep you warm  When it gets cold, Darling I’ll hold you, and these old bones of yours  Those blue skies are comin’ Soon I’m sure  Those blue skies are comin’ Soon I’m sure  Those blue skies are comin’ Hold on a little more

Live Wire 02:51

Like stepping on a live wire  Heart is going haywire  My pulse trips into you   Feel the current start in my fingers  Shoots straight up to my brain Feel you all over me when I hear your name You know how to make an entrance Sparks running through my mind  Just one touch of you setting me alight  Like stepping on a live wire  Heart is going haywire  My pulse trips into you I’m stepping on your live wire Baby turn it up higher  My love burns into the electrics of you  Just one move and there’s static You take charge of the switch  Warning signs but I can’t resist We keep running the circuit  One moment off then we’re on You always blow a fuse and we’re gone Like stepping on a live wire  Heart is going haywire  My pulse trips into you I’m stepping on your live wire Baby turn it up higher  My love burns into the electrics of you    Oooooooh The electrics of you Ooooooh The electrics of you Oooooooh The electrics of you Turn it up up up up up up Turn me up up up up up Turn me up up up up up We’re burning up up up up Like stepping on a live wire  Heart is going haywire  My pulse trips into you I’m stepping on your live wire Baby now we caught fire My love burns into the electrics of you  Turn it up up up up up up Turn it up up up up up up Turn it up up up up up up We’re burning up up up up

Karaoke 03:38
lyrics

Cruising in the slow lane when I saw off the next road A flickering sign, of a motel with a missing O Takes me back to that summer with you, standing outside  Laughing 'bout the way your name looked up in neon lights We thought you were a rockstar, even playing for fifteen The boys from school were drinking and filling the front seats You made us buy a ticket, learn the words to every song Seven years later and I still sing along It felt like late night karaoke In a smokey little bar Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming,  When you played your old guitar And I fell in love for the very first time Felt like Summer of 69 Back in time with you In my rear view Saw you on the cover of rolling stone,  Could that have happened, if i hadn’t let you go? I hope it made you happy, it’s not bittersweet  When looking at neon signs, I hope you think of me Now you are rockstar, and you’re playing MSG 20,000 tickets and you’ve sold out every seat But I miss late night karaoke In a smokey little bar Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming,  When you played your old guitar And I fell in love for the very first time Felt like Summer of 69 Back in time with you In my rear view In my rear view mirror you’re standing there saying “don’t go I need you" and both your hands gripping mine on the wheel But I just stood there and told you “I know that I’ll only hold you back from your dreams and from making them real" So I said "go" And I let go And now it’s late night karaoke  When I get into my car I hear you on the radio Takes me right back to the start Oh I miss late night karaoke In a smokey little bar Couldn’t stop believing, teenage dreaming,  When you played your old guitar And I fell in love for the very first time felt like Summer of 69 Back in time with you In my rear view

When We Collide 03:47
lyrics
buy track
We were slow  Dancing lost in eachothers arms I was shy You were taken Hidden in a dark barn  And you leaned in Pulled my focus Lost in eachothers eyes They were bright blue  But you were borrowed
 Only here for the night Whoaa Whoaa is it you or the Whiskey or the Beer?  Whoaa Whoaa is it me, the music or the atmosphere? When we collide My heartbeat’s running wild 
Don’t it feel right, crossing that line? Is this the right place at the wrong time? I feel stars align when we collide We’ve been best friends For a while now standing on the sidelines I’ve been falling  In and outta love you were there the whole time Whoaa Whoaa is it you or the Lights, is it hot in here?  Whoaa Whoaa is it me, the music or the atmosphere? When we collide My heartbeat’s running wild 
Don’t it feel right, crossing that line? Is this the right place at the wrong time?
I feel stars align when we collide

November night Don’t wanna fight Let’s just breathe Quarter to 1 Times on the run Please don’t leave Cause we only have tonight Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down Can we pause at 4am Light a match and start again Can we burn the candle down Pull you in close Dance in the glow Of the fireside Whiskey on ice Warmth in your eyes I can’t describe If we only have tonight Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down Can we pause at 4am Light a match and start again Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down I’d be lying if I said You’d be easy to forget Can we burn the candle down Can we burn the candle down

Calling It 02:49

I’ve been here one too many times before  Just takes a smile for me to fall Back in your arms, your love tangled in mine We used to be so intertwined I wanted to fly but you pulled me back in Held too tightly, controlling my wings I’m calling it Calling it a day and I’m walking away  Forever I’m calling it I’m calling you out, I won’t be pushed around  I need better Than you could ever give So I’m calling it quits Now I’ve faced the truth No excuse I’m calling it  I’m calling it  You kept me caged just to keep me quiet stole my air, so you could breathe I saw the bars and I forgot the words To the song i used to sing I wanted to fly but you pulled me back in held me too tightly, controlling my wings I’m calling it Calling it a day and I’m walking away  Forever I’m calling it I’m calling you out, I won’t be pushed around  I need better Than you could ever give So I’m calling it quits Now I’ve faced the truth No excuse I’m calling... You up  To say that I’m gone I’m floating up up and away No sorry’s I’m done hanging on I’m writing this song to say I’m calling it I’m calling it I’m calling it Calling it a day and I’m walking away  Forever I’m calling it I’m calling you out, I won’t be pushed around  I need better Than you could ever give So I’m calling it quits Now I’ve faced the truth No excuse I’m calling it  I’m calling it

Every Road 03:06
lyrics

I’ve seen the seven wonders Chased the setting sun Tried to find some meaning  In Pyramids and Babylon You’re the other side of an ocean
And we thought our world was small I heard that you got promoted I know I should have called Every time No matter where I close my eyes And you’re there 
 I’ve been around a world or two Never found another you But every road every road Leads back to home Tried a thousand different routes Worn the soles in all my boots But every road every road Leads back to you back to home Every one step forward Takes me two steps back To all those school night parties And all the firsts we had Like the first time you kissed me Told your mum and your dad They both said that we’re too young 
To feel a love like that Every time No matter when I close my eyes It’s you again I’ve been around a world or two Never found another you But every road every road leads back to home Tried a thousand different routes Worn the soles in all my boots But every road every road Leads back to you back to home Every road leads back to my hometown Every road leads back to my hometown Every road leads back to my hometown Every every road Every road leads back to my hometown Every road leads back to my hometown Every road leads back to my hometown Every every road I’ve been around a world or two Never found another you But every road every road Leads back to home Tried a thousand different routes Worn the soles in all my boots But every road every road Leads back to you back to home
