Another blank page
Stares me in the face
Another prayer to god for grace
It’s never the right time or place
That’s my problem;
always asking for a sign
Waiting for the lightning strike
All I get’s another hill to climb
This year has been a disaster
All I can do is complain
So why do I see the numbers
Repeat again and again
They say that good things are coming
They say that it’s meant to be
Maybe I’m pessimistic but
I find it hard to believe
The message is always the same:
Something better is coming your way
1,1,1, another year around the sun
Maybe I’m still young enough to do the things I haven’t done
1,1,1, all you have to do is start
Cuz it’s in the stars, it’s in the cards
Beginning is the hardest part
I know the world has stopped turning
I know the lights have gone dark
You don’t need to burn it at both ends
Just need to kindle the spark
It doesn’t have to be perfect
It doesn’t need elegance
It doesn’t hurt to believe in something good for once
I’m no poet I’m no muse
I’ll always have something to prove
But when I stumble off the track
Something always pulls me back
Cuz when you ache with every move
there is nothing left to lose
1, 1, 1, another year around the sun
Maybe I’m still young enough to do the things i haven’t done
1, 1, 1, yeah the future will take shape
There is no deal that you can make
The only meaning is the one that you create
They say that good things are coming
I say you’d better believe
when I get out of the darkness
Im getting back on my feet
I’m counting down all the hours
I’m done with wasting my time
Cuz I see that life is too short
And I’m gonna take what’s mine
1, 1, 1, another year around the sun
Maybe I’m still young enough to do the things i haven’t done
1, 1, 1, yeah the future will take shape
There is no deal that you can make
The only meaning is the one that you create

Never Be Free

Am I running away or am I running towards it
I get overwhelmed when there’s too many choices
So I
Reach up to the sky
dig into the ground
Climb the highest tree
Never looking down
Get into the car
And drive right to the sea
But my mind is a cage
and i will never be
Never be free
Reach up to the sky
dig into the ground
Climb the highest tree
Never looking down
Get into the car
And drive right to the sea
But your mind is a cage
and you will never be free
I feel most at home when I’m somewhere else
I feel most myself when I’m someone else
and I
come alive in the London skyline
In studio 9, under fluorescent lights
So I close my eyes and let my feet take me away
(But still the voices say)
Is this good enough?
When are you getting out?
Look over your shoulder
See what’s coming round
So get into the car
And drive to the city
But your mind is a cage and you will never be
Never be free
Reach up to the sky
dig into the ground
Climb the highest tree
Never looking down
Get into the car
And drive right to the sea
But your mind is a cage
and you will never be free
Never be free
The water is cold and it’s deep
But each day that I swim
I am losing less sleep
And the air fills my lungs
As I exhale the fear
It will always come back
But the sky is so clear
Never be free
Maybe I don’t have to be

For too long I’ve been nice
Now let me give you some advice
Cuz I think the movie needs a rewrite
I don’t want your direction
Light me up with your projection
I wanna play against my type
It’s the same every single time
Your smile is so benign
But you can’t look me in the eye
You’re so desperate to define me
But you’ll never confine me
Stop wasting your time
So see, see, what you want to see, see
I am like a leaf, leaf, drifting in the breeze
Believe what you want to of me
Maybe I’m not really what you have perceived
Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
I'm always making other plans
Now you don't meet my demands
please don’t tell me who I am
One face two face
Three face, four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
Three face four
Think you’ve got my number
But you don’t know me at all
You say you’ll help me grow
But I just wanna let you know
That I’m the one who’s running the show
You say I’ve got potential
But I don’t want your credentials
Yeah I knew who I was long ago
And I have got a heart that’s made of bulletproof glass
You can try to break it but just know it was built to last
Think you’ve got a hold on me but I will always slip right out of your grasp
So come, come closer if you want to
I am like a whirlpool spinning in the deep
Drifting close to the horizon, i am not afraid
But maybe you should be
Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
Try to catch me if you can
But I’m making other plans
So please don’t tell me who I am
One face two face
Three face, four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
It’s by design
Think you’ve got my number
If it gives you peace of mind
Ooh, no you don’t know me like that (no no no no)
Ooh, If you’re looking at me, just know that I’m looking right back
Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
Try to catch me if you can
But I’m making other plans
So please don’t tell me who I am
One face two face
Three face four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
Three face four
Think you’ve got my number
But you don’t know me at all
(One face two face
Come on show me yours)
