The river ran cold
Like the steel web deep inside a prison’s hold
Sirens and lights
Shine the way towards what’s closed to you tonight
Shadows deep cast, an oncoming storm
I can see in, but the signs say closed
Hiding away
Will I make it back
The other side
My favourite place to be
No second thought, a second home to me
The other side
Whenever I wanted
Locked over here I feel lesser without it
A starry-eyed friend
Need your say so first to lend a helping hand
A front row seat
To the chaos and hardship, the hurt and broken streets
Shadows deep cast, an oncoming storm
I can see in, but there’s nobody home
Hiding away
Will I make it back
The other side
My favourite place to be
No second thought, a second home to me
The other side
Whenever I wanted
Locked over here I feel lesser without it
In the darkness, we search for a light to confess
Through it all, we find our way
The scars that we share still hold us back
A long road to a better day, a better day
The other side
My favourite place to be
No second thought, a second home to me
The other side
Whenever I wanted
Locked over here I feel lesser without it
The other side
Oh
No second thought, a second home to me
The other side
Just steps away
Locked over here I can’t see you today

Where are you going
Out so far ahead
You’re the truth seeker
But your lies runnin’ red
Right behind
I’m reaching for you
Won’t you carry me
To your
Slipstream
Caught up in it
Waiting in line for your magic trick
Slipstream
You wanna belong
Put up your hands and sing the song
Yeah
You’re chasing shadows
But lost in the light
Now every answer
Takes you further from right
Just like the long-lost son you have returned
Watching the fire see how hot it burns
Lined up behind you don’t question a word
No one is asking us whether we should
Slipstream
Caught up in it
Waiting in line for your magic trick
Slipstream
You wanna belong
Put up your hands and sing the song
Slipstream
Caught up in it
Waiting in line for your magic trick
Slipstream
You wanna belong
Put up your hands and sing the song
Slipstream
Marching behind
No questions or answers they fall in line
Slipstream
The world’s greatest hit
Lining up beggars and hypocrites

And she never saw
A mountain she couldn’t climb
And she never spoke
The truth with a lie in disguise
I was there when she raised her flag up high
Lined up against her she dared to defy
No more hiding the strength in her eyes
In the mirror she sees her prize
She is a green light
An alibi
A star up above
She’s a wildfire
A hurricane
An avatar
Lights up the night
She’s a wildfire
And she never tried
When doing took less of the time
And she never lost
Learning something if by design
I was there when they said her time had passed
Paying no mind as she had the last laugh
Words like a whisper, soft yet so loud
Now they watch her command the crowds
She is a green light
An alibi
She’s a spark that ignites
She’s a wildfire
A hurricane
A live wire
Lights up the night
She’s a wildfire
Shockwave blast that can’t be denied
Shooting star from galaxies collide
Reason I want more, the reason I try
Soaring high, watch her dreams fly
She is a green light
An alibi
A star up above
She’s a wildfire
A hurricane
An avatar
Lights up the night
She’s a wildfire
She is a green light
An alibi
She’s a spark that ignites
She’s a wildfire
A hurricane
A live wire
Lights up the night
She’s a wildfire

Don’t throw me away
Don’t lock me inside
Did you ever turn back
Did I make you cry
I felt lost the other day
Confusion on my face
Didn’t know what we were doing
Too broken to stay
Listen to me say
I’d cross every desert, every plain
Just to be with you again
I’d brave the winds, the raging sea
Just to have you here with me
And if you said to me that I fell short
I’d start all over again
’til it was enough
I’d drive a thousand miles
To tell you what I feel inside
I’d fly around the world
Just for the chance you’d let me call you my girl
All that I want is the touch of your hand
But I’m fading like the hourglass sand
Second place when I once had the lead
Doors are locked and I don’t have the key
I’ll find a way
I’d cross every desert, every plain
Just to be with you again
I’d brave the winds, the raging sea
Just to have you here with me
And if you said to me that I fell short
I’d start all over again
’til it was enough
Just a day too late
Now I’m steps behind
Grieve a missed call’s fate
Can I change your mind
I’d cross every desert, every plain
Just to be with you again
I’d brave the winds, the raging sea
Just to have you here with me
I’d cross every desert, every plain
Just to be with you again
I’d brave the winds, the raging sea
Just to have you here with me
And if you said to me that I fell short
I’d start all over again
’til it was enough

I made it up
This thing we got
Like haze on the road we were burning hot
Eyes closed
In the breeze
Sand at my feet and you beside me
The ocean’s door, where I asked you to meet
You are my anchor, you are my retreat
What more could we want, the sun and the sea
We’ll wait for the tide, you belong with me
You set me alight in West Palm
I was searching for that feeling so long
And now I find regret tonight
Can’t shake it
Trying to get back to West Palm
With its treasure and tricks pulling strong
And now I find the place where I belong
And now I find the place that I’ll call home
You took me in
I ran away
Now I can’t take it back and I hear you say
Gave me a chance
To find my way
Now I’m looking right at you with no words to say
What more could we want, the sun and the sea
We’ll wait for the tide, you belong beside me
You set me alight in West Palm
I was searching for that feeling so long
And now I find regret tonight
Can’t shake it
Trying to get back to West Palm
With its treasure and tricks pulling strong
And now I find the place where I belong
And now I find the place that I’ll call home
This time please don’t be afraid
I won’t leave kind words unsaid
Promise to not let you down
Don’t make me fall to the ground
I made it up
This thing we got
Like haze on the road we were burning hot
You set me alight in West Palm
I was searching for that feeling so long
And now I find regret tonight
Can’t shake it
Trying to get back to West Palm
With its treasure and tricks pulling strong
And now I find the place where I belong
And now I find the place that I’ll call home

She’s rollin’ like a train without a stop
Punch my ticket, hold on tight and rev it up
The gears are turning, memories in disguise
We’re soaring through the stars and touching friendly skies
And I say hey, hey
Right this way
It’s your Wonder Factory
Hey, hey
It’ll be ok
Don’t look now it’s a brand-new day
Hey, hey
Close your eyes
Let your spirit hypnotize
Take my hand, love will set you free
Let’s put some time in at the Wonder Factory
The lights are flashing, colours spin and swirl
Thousand wonders this imaginary world
Running through fire, we’re chasing the unknown
Two hearts beating like they’re breaking out of stone
And I say hey, hey
Right this way
It’s your Wonder Factory
Hey, hey
It’ll be ok
Don’t look now it’s a brand-new day
Hey, hey
Close your eyes
Let your spirit hypnotize
Take my hand, love will set you free
Let’s put some time in at the Wonder Factory
All that you can dream
All you’re looking for
All you’d ever need
All you want and more
And I say hey, hey
Right this way
It’s your Wonder Factory
Hey, hey
It’ll be ok
Don’t look now it’s a brand-new day
Hey, hey
Close your eyes
Let your spirit hypnotize
Take my hand, love will set you free
Put some time in with me
Hey
It’s your Wonder Factory
Hey, hey
What’s that sound
Step right up from miles around
Hey, hey
By design
Let’s go see what we can find
Take my hand, love will set you free
Let’s put some time in at the Wonder Factory

This is your captain speaking
No need to be alarmed
I don’t know where we’re going
Just know you won’t be harmed
What I can tell you is they didn’t listen
Like a textbook showing all the signs
With regret, it has to happen
We’ve already crossed too many lines
I remember when my plan was born
Tired of all the misery and scorn
There’s no going back
It’s a one-way track
Too late for tears
Reconcile your fears
There’s no better time to pick a side
And draw up your plan of attack
‘cause there’s no going back
No going back
They’ll make me out a monster
Label me as insane
Maybe I’m just a product
Of corporation gains
What I can tell you is that I got lost here
A place with only one way out
Apologies won’t be accepted
Their sincerity is surely in doubt
I remember when my plan was born
Tired of all the misery and scorn
There’s no going back
It’s a one-way track
Too late for tears
Reconcile your fears
There’s no better time to pick a side
And draw up your plan of attack
‘cause there’s no going back
No going back
No going back
No going back
Don’t call me anti-social
I ain’t no son of strife
Circumstance victim maybe
Had this plan all of my life
I remember when my plan was born
Tired of all the misery and scorn
There’s no going back
It’s a one-way track
Too late for tears
Reconcile your fears
There’s no better time to pick a side
And draw up your plan of attack
‘cause there’s no going back
No going back
No going back
No going back

You woke up that day
Was like any other
Greeted your father
And then hugged your mother
Too young to ask questions
So scared to learn
That your home would be changing
Your tears how they burned
Voices telling you no
When you ran for the door
Did you ever ask why
Or kept it locked up inside
You watched as they vanished
Through smoke and the dust
Surrounded by strangers
No one to trust
I heard you went there
Many years later
Came flooding back
The pain and the anger
Voices telling you no
When you ran for the door
Did you ever ask why
Or kept it locked up inside
Looking back now after all of these years
The strength of your love was made up of those tears
I’m need to tell you, that I know this much
Without you I’m certain I wouldn’t know love
Was that the day you decided to run
Started all over and made a new home
Said don’t cry for me
Time heals broken hearts
Pray for the names
that were lost in the dark
Voices telling you no
When you ran for the door
Did you ever ask why
Or kept it locked up inside
Looking back now after all of these years
The strength of your love was made up of those tears
I’m need to tell you, that I know this much
Without you I’m certain I wouldn’t know love
Oh how I wish
Someone could tell that boy
He’d lead a great life
Filled with laughter and joy
Looking back now after all of these years
The strength of your love was made up of those tears
I’m need to tell you, that I know this much
Without you I’m certain I wouldn’t know love
Looking back now after all of these years
The strength of your love was made up of those tears
I’m need to tell you, that I know this much
Without you I’m certain I wouldn’t know love

I think you got some bad advice
Had it all lined up, threw it all away
You left the ones who loved you the most
Saw you down the hall, white as a ghost
Rolled the dice, played make believe
Denied the truth, it’s your same old story
Heard the crying on the phone
Go look in the mirror, you’re all alone
Don’t tell me it’s
Destiny? No
Can’t you see? No
Had to take a stand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Destiny? No
Are you free? No
Never understand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Your shiny toys now gather dust
But you gave it up, packed them all away
Didn’t realize what you had
And now we’re better off in the end
Don’t tell me its
Destiny? No
Can’t you see? No
Had to take a stand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Destiny? No
Are you free? No
Never understand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Can you hear that sound
Here we go again
Let everybody down
Here we go again
You thought you earned the crown
But like a snowflake on the ground
Your pride, it made a choice
Now they’ll never hear your voice
Don’t tell me its
Destiny? No
Can’t you see? No
Had to take a stand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Destiny? No
Are you free? No
Never understand
The chance you had has slipped away
Like water in your hands
Here we go again

I want everything and more
Shut the gates, lock the door
Living like the other half
Capitalist craved maniac
No apologies from me
Won’t hear thank you, won’t hear please
Living life in rich excess
Is the stamp of being blessed
Oh, ain’t no game that I’m playing
Oh, can you hear what I’m saying
It’s a lesson we’ve all learned
Can’t live without it, go and earn
Then you better spend it fast
The next best thing is up for grabs
I could stand up to this lie
But it’s more fun to scrounge and buy
They got pockets for our cash
So make it, spend it, do it fast
Oh, ain’t no game that I’m playing
Oh, can you hear what I’m saying?
Everything and more
If it sparkles, if it shines
Everything and more
Run out the door to make it mine
Oh
Oh
If it’s love you’ve come to claim
You’re up against who want the same
Got no time to play the chase
I’ll disappear without at trace
I’d rather six-strings, wings and cars
Exquisite places near and far
When they put me in the ground
I’m gonna own the dirt they found
Oh, ain’t no game that I’m playing
Oh, can you hear what I’m saying?
Everything and more
If it sparkles, if it shines
Everything and more
Run out the door to make it mine
Everything and more
If it sparkles, if it shines
Everything and more
Run out the door to make it mine
Oh
Oh

Feels like I’m sliding
The pace is picking up
The long road home is coming to a close
What you’ve always wanted
They say but not so sure
What comes next and where nobody knows
I won’t forget the feeling
Of walking through the door
Knowing you’d be there to grow with me
All the priceless moments
And laughs that we would share
Filled our halls with dreams of destiny
They’ll watch us fly
Watch us fly
Doesn’t have to be an ending
Just another point of view
As time moves on change is just a start
Seeing different faces
with new stories to tell
Audition time and we all want the part
I won’t forget the feeling
Of walking through the door
Knowing you’d be there to grow with me
All the priceless moments
And laughs that we would share
Filled our halls with dreams of destiny
They’ll watch us fly
Watch us fly
What will I remember most
Some big important thing
Didn’t find it on a page of ancient history
A voice that was cut short he told us
Before he met his day
We when stand together
There ain’t no better way
Watch us fly
Watch us fly
No need to say goodbye
Or ‘til we meet again
But just in case I never get the chance
You made all my days better
And I hope that I made yours
I’ll remember you as long as memories last
I won’t forget the feeling
Of walking through the door
Knowing you’d be there to grow with me
All the priceless moments
And laughs that we would share
Filled our halls with dreams of destiny
They’ll watch us fly
Watch us fly
Fly
Fly

For a lifetime
For a day
I’ll take whatever you can give
In your fashion
In your way
You lead me where I need to live
You’re the answer, no more questions in my mind
You raise the stakes, my heart is signed
Oh I’ll walk beside you just until the end of time
Everywhere you go, I’ll be beside you
For a lifetime
For a day
I’ll give you whatever you need
In your fashion
In your way
You lead me where I need to be
