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

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)
