Yolo (Acoustic)

Sunday afternoon I’ve got that slow sinking feeling
I have to really think hard about how grateful I am
It’s like a weak winter sun the way that it sinks in
It’s like the start of the end
Four in the morning and I really can’t sleep
Which is unusual for me I have no problem dreaming
All of my friends have got things they’ve achieved
Keep thinking where have I been?
This is my life this is it
Give it my all don’t you forget
Break me down to build me up
In the end you only live once
Late for work and my coffee is cold
I got a sneaky suspicion I’ll be late getting home
Traffic jams not going nowhere
Keep thinking this isn’t fair
If you ever bothered turning around you’d look down from the top of the world
It’s so easy to overlook your life’s work, you’re looking down from the top of the world

Hey Yo
03:42
|

|
Hey Yo let it go now honey this too shall pass
Hey Yo let it go now honey don’t let it break your back
I lost my grip on a piece of jewelry
I watched it slip into the blue sea
Silver and gold disappearing in slow mo
But too fast too fast for me
I was tongue tide when we said our goodbyes
I believed I would see you again
Wish I’d said something, something real strong
But the moment had gone unfortunately

Leo
03:00
|
|||
|
Don’t need a telescope to find it in the sky
Don’t need a scientist to give me reasons why
It’s in my bones and written in my blood stream now
Wherever I go I like Leo
Not into horoscopes but you’re my lion man
Taurus ain’t half bad
I’m a fish out of water in your golden eyes
Where the water flows I like Leo
Keep the windows shut and the doors locked
Only thing between you and I is steel and glass
Elements, this is chemistry
Gold golden you’re my Leo gold
In the grass lands of my home land
In the deserts of Namibia
In the zoo while I’m thinking of you

Regardless
03:15
|
|||
|
If I don’t do the dishes
If I leave the house a mess
Cut up all your magazines
Would you love me regardless?
If I let myself go
Didn’t bother getting dressed
Withdrew to my reclusive ways
Would you love me regardless?
If I get real sick
Never leave the bed
Taking to those voices in my head
Would you love me regardless?
Cold shoulder in the morning
Does it remind you of what you’re missing
Freedom days are gone but it’s not too late to run
Regardless
When our times done
For whatever reason
A parting of sweet turbulence
Would you love me regardless?
Like I love you regardless

Paradise
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ve been wondering the woods in my dreams
I’ve been swimming in lakes of crystal clean
Water will quench my thirst
I’ll lay back and let the stars do their work
My mind is a network of pulses that are twisted and tangled up
Escape to deep nature and in one day she can have me straightened up
I got to the gates of paradise one minute too late and was denied
They said come back again some other time I said ok fine
I’ve been walking to my own beat
I’ve been diving to the bottom of the deep
Catch my breath on a mountain top
Take a step into fresh air and feel the drop
I’ve been there and I done it all
The paradise that I’ve been looking for
It’s been in the back of my mind
And it’s been there all the time
I’ve been catching the sun’s last rays
I’ve been sitting by the fire that I made
Sink into a deep sleep all the inspired ideas will come to me

My Oh My
03:44
|
|||
|
My, my, why, why, why am I
always the wedding singer never the bride
and I know what I said a long time ago
But what if I’ve changed my mind
My, my times moving along
My friends all have kids and I’m stuck here writing a song
Time ticks on
Biological clock don’t wait for no one
Please let me sleep right through the night
I don’t want to know how far I’ve slipped behind
Please let me sleep right through the night
I don’t want to wake I don’t want to contemplate
My restless mind
My, my I remember the days
Couldn’t care less I was just about your age
Castles in the sun
Swept away by the ocean
My, my what if I made a mistake and I
took a wrong turn and now it’s too late
Oh brother. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other

Fortune Teller
04:13
|
|||
|
In those days I could do no wrong
Like a heroine I was his lucky charm
Every word I said captivated him
And I filled his head right up to the brim
Our first place was perfect
Breakfast in bed eggs benedict
Then camping trips and cars breaking down
And after a hard days work a night on the town
I’d be a fortune teller
I would study his palm
Tell him the things that he wants to hear
Just to get him (back) in my arms
Honeymoon phase is long gone
No conversation without the tv on
When I get dressed up, up to the nines
Well it don’t matter much he knows all my punch lines
I wrack my brain for something
That will make his eyes light up again
And it feels like I’m almost out of credit
And if I had one wish then this would be it

All Day
04:26
|
|||
|
I’ve got a train running through my veins
I’ve got a mouth of gasoline
I know when to breath fire and how to keep composed
But if you want to go, I’m ready to go
Let’s take it outside
Gloves come off and there is hell to pay
We got the whole damn street to ourselves today
No fights worth fighting if there’s nothing to gain
But I could do this all day
I’m black and blue
You’re pretty messed up to
Can’t we just agree to disagree
If you don’t want to play nice I’m ready to
Take it outside
And if I’m hot under the collar I will say what I don’t mean
And if I’m hot under the collar I turn into a rodeo machine

Dog Eat Dog
03:19
|
|||
|
You come across so obsessed with yourself that you don’t need me around
You think the pauses in your sentences make you so profound
You think you do me such a big favour because I’m just a girl and I’ve got lots to learn about your
Dog eat dog world where only one of us is safe so let me get this straight
In your dog eat dog world it’s a game of territory and someone will end up scraping their knee
You love to tell me what I should do or that I should be more like this or that
It’s such a kick to endure your one-sided conversation format
Guess I’m just a sucker for punishment when all you do is talk trash in your
It’s no surprise you wear your ego like a crown
And it’s no surprise that you’re never going to put that bone down

One Night in Heaven
03:34
|
|||
|
If you could read my thoughts like an open book
You would find it hard to overlook
If you could feel my heart and how it misbehaves
You will wonder how I could keep a straight face
Don’t shake me up like champagne
Now I’m never ever gonna be the same
I drink it down settle my nerves
Just don’t leave me hanging on a word
Every night I have wings and I go where I like
But I don’t want to spend
One night in heaven and the rest of my life in hell
I don’t want one night in heaven and the rest of my life in hell
I don’t want to go where angels can’t follow
The point of no return frightens me the most
Behind all my pretense
What holds me together is my common sense
But if you only knew what this could lead to
Theres only so many sunsets left
And every day that passes by is just one less

Nothing
03:45
|
|||
|
Lost in a forest, carved our names on a tree
I haven’t seen you for years wonder where you could be
Time has successfully cleaved us apart
And if I ever find that tree then I’ll see what we carved
Nothing, Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing, Nothing ever stays the same
Maybe you finally changed your mind
Or the scent of a perfume takes you back in time like
Paying a visit to your childhood house
Don’t you get the sense that times running out?
Just when you thought that you got it waxed
You got to take it, take it all back
All I really know is change is coming
It’s already on the way
Change is coming you better hold on tight

Born Under the Stars
03:33
|
|||
|
I caught myself throwing my hands in the air
Not because I was at a party, because I was at a loose end
It’s one thing trying to make ends meet in the concrete jungle
It’s another matter when our leaders won’t lead us out of deep trouble
We live in cities now but we were born under the stars
And it don’t take much to remember who you are
Gotta love the gun shots in the morning while I make my coffee
Another reminder we’re flying down the rabbit hole not stopping
I stopped switching on the news a long time ago
I’d rather that my black gold didn’t taste so bitter anymore
We live in cities now and they are all the same
We live in cities now, snakes and ladder games
We live in cities now but we were born under the stars
And it don’t take much to remember who you are
We don’t care if you’re Julius Caesar things would be a lot sweeter
If you gold digging ways would just calm down
Can you see what you do to us Julius? Isn’t it clear enough’s enough?
We want to see you on the streets cleaning up this town
