Skyscrapers Soaring, Yet We're Drowning
Skyscrapers Soaring, Yet We’re Drowning
Just give us everything we ask for
Just take the risk or lose it all
Vultures are made
When bad numbers never end
Just take the risk or lose it all
Two times the charm
Third time’s the end
Two times, no harm
No time to mend
Vultures are made
When bad numbers never end
Two times the charm
Third time’s the end
Skyscrapers soaring, yet we’re drowning
Is there no loyalty alive?
You see it all, but shut your eyes
You can’t deny
Tell us what you’re really made of
Cards declined, now roll the dice
Insatiable and thirsty
You took the risk, we take it all
Two times the charm
Third time’s the end
Two times, no harm
No time to mend
Vultures are made
When bad numbers never end
Two times the charm
Third time’s the end
Skyscrapers soaring, yet we’re drowning
Is there no loyalty alive?
You see it all, but shut your eyes
You can’t deny
You’ve met a dead end
There’s no diamonds
No need to search your pockets
This is the end
Skyscrapers soaring, yet we’re drowning
Is there no loyalty alive?
You see it all, but shut your eyes
You can’t deny
Midtown Madness
Rushing down Jay Street
In my rusty ride
Rounding all the corners
On Upper East Side
Big city living, million dollar bills
Leaves me with nothing but dimes
For my frills
And will
Let me have this
Let me have this
I know I want, I know I need
Just give it to me
Give it to me
Let me have this
Let me have this
Living on the edge
Of midtown madness
People do it all
Leaving me anxious
All my friends are crushing
Their real DJ dreams
Iced vanilla lattes and
Golden coffee creams
Machines
Let me have this
Let me have this
I know I want, I know I need
Just give it to me
Give it to me
Let me have this
Let me have this
Let me have this
Give me my dreams
Let me have this
Give me my dreams
You Were My Lifetime
How would you say to someone
There won’t be no magic tricks
How do you say to someone
The rain won’t leave us this time
You were the sun in my
You were my lifetime
You were the sun in my
And I miss you all the
You were the sun in my
You were my lifetime
You were the sun in my
And I miss you all the
We’ll never know
How it ends
We’ll never know
How it ends
You were my lifetime
How do you say to someone
You’ll forever sail the seas
When the stormy nights they come
Hold on tight, won’t stay afloat
I can’t fill the ocean with tears
You’ll forever be my pier
You were the sun in my
You were my lifetime
You were the sun in my
And I miss you all the
You were the sun in my
You were my lifetime
You were the sun in my
And I miss you all the time
And I miss you all the time
We’ll never know
How it ends
We’ll never know
How it ends
You were my lifetime
Let Me Speak
Put my life in danger
Just to speak up to you
You never let me speak
Rule out what I do
You’ll always have your power
You’ll always have your dream
Why won't you listen
Just listen to me
Twisting in discomfort
Just by listening to you
Kissed with a fist
Rule out what I do
I want my power
I want my dream
So why don’t you listen
Just listen to me
Just let me speak
Just let me speak
Just let me speak
You’ve fluffed too many lines
It’s your final curtain call
Relaxing, calm, intense
We’ve tried so many times
High heels got power
And I want my dream
Why don’t you listen
Just listen to me
It’s time to start a riot
And we scream this at you
Kissed with a fist
Leave you black and blue
We’ll get the power
And we’ll get the dream
Now will you listen
Just listen to me
Just let me speak
Just let me speak
Just let me speak

Cherry Picking
Do you have a kind heart
Or is it locked away?
Shattered into pieces
Pinned back together
Never mistake them
Mistake them for a stranger
Always feeling tired
So tired of tomorrow
Cherry picking, sticky floors
Do you feel ashamed yet?
When your goodnight
(Goodnight)
Is everyone's good morning
Hope you sleep tight
Hope you sleep tight
Cherry picking, sticky floors
Do you feel ashamed yet?
Hope you sleep tight!
Do you need to do it for the plot?
Always keep on posing for the shot
Stars in heaven
Underneath your sole
Hope you sleep tight!
Breakfast of champions at Cecil Hotel
Sky is not the limit
You’ve got to get your lines right
Rebel child on motorbike
Have you seen yourself yet?
Always feeling tired
So tired of tomorrow
Blowing up like dynamite
Do you see yourself yet?
When your goodnight
(Goodnight)
Is everyone's good morning
Hope you sleep tight
Hope you sleep tight
Cherry picking, sticky floors
Do you feel ashamed yet?
Hope you sleep tight!
Do you need to do it for the plot?
Always keep on posing for the shot
Stars in heaven
Underneath your sole
Hope you sleep tight!
(Cherry picking, sticky floors
Do you feel ashamed yet?)
Do you need to do it for the plot?
Always keep on posing for the shot
Stars in heaven
Underneath your sole
Hope you sleep tight!
Partners in Crime
Remember when we met abroad
Memories to the core
I guess it's something
To call home for
Studied hard night and day
Then the weekend getaways
I guess it's something
To call home for
I know you’ve got a place to be
I just need you to hear
Did you get where you
Want to be?
Please, just never forget me
How is the city life?
It’s quite alright
It’s still alright
It can be a pretty sight
With all the city lights
This busy life we can’t ignore
It’s too much to ask for
I barely see you anymore
Like a constant tug-of-war
Tell you I will call you more
I barely hear you anymore
Met you in a class of art
Now five thousand miles apart
You don’t live here anymore
Saturday shopping spree
The best of memories
You don’t live here anymore
I know you’ve got a place to be
I just need you to hear
Did you get where you
Want to be?
Please, just never forget me
How is the city life?
It’s quite alright
It’s still alright
It can be a pretty sight
With all the city lights
They call us partners in crime
I wish we could travel in time
And I hope you know that I
I’ll be here anytime
Just short of Central Line
Let’s bring back toasts in wine
How is the city life?
It’s quite alright
It’s still alright
It can be a pretty sight
With all the city lights
How is the city life?
It’s quite alright
It’s still alright
It can be a pretty sight
With all the city lights
Turn Back Time
Breathe in the colours of the wind
Sleep in to cover up your sins
Breathe in, make sure your
Thoughts are dimmed
Sleep in to cover up your sins
How can I
Turn back the time?
To when it was
Just me and you
How can I turn back time?
Take my hand, just take my hand
Open, just open up your arms
I can not
I can not find my shooting star
Just take my hand
Like you used to
Before
Just take my hand
Like you used to
Before
How can I
Turn back the time?
To when it was
Just me and you
How can I turn back time?
Take my hand, just take my hand
How can I turn back time?
Take my hand, just take my hand
How can I
Turn back the time?
To when it was
Just me and you
How can I turn back time?
Take my hand, just take my hand
How can I turn back time?
Take my hand, just take my hand
I Don’t Want You to Die
You’ve seen a side of me
No one else was meant to see
But it was never meant to be
It’s not the walk down the aisle
It’s just the way that I
I know I promised
To have and to hold
The time is over
My feet have turned cold
It was ‘til death do us part
Now you’ll take this to your
It’s just the way that I’ll miss you
I don’t want you to die
I don’t want you to die
But I see the way you look at me
It’s time
How long's forever
Would you take a plea?
Well it was never
Meant to be this way
I know that it’s been a while
It’s just the way that I
You liked attention
Never left some for me
So it was always
Meant to be this way
It was ‘til death do us part
Now you will
Take this to your grave
It’s just the way that I’ll miss you
I don’t want you to die
I don’t want you to die
But I see the way you look at me
It’s time
Don’t want you to die
Don’t want you to die
Don’t want you to die
Don’t want you to die
I don’t want you to die
I don’t want you to die
