1. LIKE A SONG
[Songwriters: Kripac, Lenka Eden;]
I can't forget you when you're gone
You're like a song that goes around in my head
And how I regret, it's been so long
Oh, what went wrong? Could it be something I said?
Time, make it go faster or just rewind
To back when I'm wrapped in your arms
All afternoon long it's with me the same song
You left a light on inside me, my love
I can remember the way that it felt to be
Holding on to you
I can't forget you when you're gone
You're like a song that goes around in my head
And how I regret, it's been so long
Oh what went wrong? Could it be something I said?
Time, make it go faster or just decide
To come back to my happy heart

2. DON'T LET ME FALL
[Songwriters: Kripac, Lenka; Salter, Thomas;]
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if I should break, if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take a little of the weight
Or I'll fall through
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time, walk a little line
Get the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight
We will be alright, I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
But I gotta know no matter how things go
That you will be alright
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
You'll be the one that I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
But don't let me fall

3. THE SHOW
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
i don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried, and i don't know why...
Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot
To be something i'm not
I'm a fool out of love
'Cause i just can't get enough...
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
i don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried, and i don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but i don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know i've got to let it go...
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It's a joke, nobody knows
They've got a ticket to the show....
(i want my money back, just enjoy the show)

4. TROUBLE IS A FRIEND
Trouble, he will find you no matter where you go
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow
The eye of the storm or the cry in the morn
You're find for a while but you start to lose control
He is there in the dark,
He is there in my heart
He waits in the winds,
He is gonna play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine
Trouble is a friend but Trouble is a foe
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow
He sees what I see and He knows what I know
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
He is there in the dark,
He is there in my heart
He waits in the winds,
He is gonna play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine
How I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
I try
But he is there in the dark,
He is there in my heart
He waits in the winds,
He is gonna play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine

5. BRING ME DOWN
I won’t let this burden bring me down.
So here we are again
staring at the end
of what we made and who we are.
Never knowing when
one of us will break apart
and walk the other way, love.
I don’t know what to say, love.
I don’t know how to stay
when you won’t let me be
the person that I am.
[Chorus:]
The writing's on the wall.
There’s nothing to say anymore.
So I'll leave before I fall apart
right back into your arms.
The writing's on the wall.
You gave nothing back at all.
But I want something better.
I won’t let this burden bring me down.
What are we to do?
What are we to say to one another
now we're through?
Thanks for being you.
Thanks for being all things
I had to say goodbye to.
I'm over being lied to.
I'm over being pushed into the person
that you want me to become.
[Chorus]
Oh where did it go wrong?
We had it for so long.
But now there’s no point turning back.
Let’s face the facts.
The writing's in the wall.
[Chorus]
I won’t let this burden bring me [x2]
I won’t let this burden bring me down.

6. SKIP ALONG
So tired of feeling blue.
such a heavy weight on you.
So shake it off and make your way
to somewhere different x2.
Oh no now you’re leaving me
oh what will you do all alone
in the big bad world?
Im not worried, no.
Chorus:
Cause you’re gonna skip along,
Quite merrily, baby.
you’re gonna revel in hating
what’s goin' on
And you’re like a sugar bomb
and no harm will come,
no harm will come if you
just skip along.
Acting oblivious.
Comes natural to us.
Keep smiling knowing all the while
the world will fall apart x2.
ah, ah
Chorus
Wouldn't it be lovely to be home, home
safe and sound with no one round
to bring us down
but that's so far away.
Chorus x2
la ti da
No harm will come if we just skip along.

7. DANGEROUS AND SWEET
It's difficult to see from the surface.
But everything goes in and it stings,
like a spider.
Hits you deep inside and
Chorus:
I know that you are just like me, oversensitive.
Well I ordinarily breathe.
Taking everything for much more than it means.
Well it's dangerous, and it's sweet.
Cut us and we bleed.
All these words that we speak casually.
Well maybe im just weak, but it hurts me.
Everything you said x3
Well it cuts, like a knife
it hurts me deep inside and
Chorus
I should put on my armor the next time I see you
So I won't be harmed. I know I can shoot my own arrows.
Im sorry I hurt you.
I know that like me you can be oversensitive.
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Ba Ba Ba
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Ba Ba Ba
Chorus
Yeah it’s dangerous and sweet.
Don't you know it’s dangerous and it's sweet?
Cut us and we bleed.

8. LIVE LIKE YOU ARE DYING
One of these days you’ll be
under the covers you’ll be
under the table and you’ll realize
that all of your days are numbered;
all of them one to one hundred.
All of them millions.
All of them trillions.
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for mall.
no no
Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.
Give me a reason
to fight the feeling
that there’s nothing here for me.
Cause none of its easy,
I know it wasn’t meant to be.
I know it’s all up to me.
It's all up to me.
So what am I gonna do with my time?
oh
Ill take every moment, I know that I own them.
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose.
Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.
All of the moments you didn’t notice;
gone in the blink of an eye.
And all of the feelings you couldn’t feel
no matter how you try.
oh oh
Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It’s all up to you,
to do whatever you choose.
Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.
Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all up to you, use what’s been given to you.
oh oh
