Shanghai 03:27
Fire balls burn on the top of my head Drowning in the night enough is said Everybody's looking like they got what it takes to be my best friend I've got the night to blame Oh my god I think I'm gonna burn tonight, burn tonight Oh oh oh I've seen you working hard all night and I'm on the other side Oh oh oh I think We need a little time alone Can we all just get that one shot tonight Hopskotch it to the next spot in line We've been stuck in underground Chinatown Oh way oh way oh We got Shanghai tonight Blue eyes burn through the back of my head But I can't remember who it was or what they said Everybody's acting like they got what it takes to be a casanova Romeo be her mistake Oh my god I think they're gonna burn tonight, they're gonna burn tonight Oh oh oh I've seen you working hard all night and I'm on the other side Oh oh oh I think We need a little time alone Can we all just get that one shot tonight Hopskotch it to the next spot in line We've been stuck in underground Chinatown Oh way oh way oh We got Shanghai tonight Oh no we've done it again Lost sight of our good friend Oh no we've done it again This night will never end Hips drifting side to side Mine or yours I can't decide What it takes to conversate Here we go it's not too late Can we all just get that one shot tonight Hopskotch it to the next spot in line We've been stuck in underground Chinatown Oh way oh way oh We got Shanghai tonight

You bleed the black of your scars You leave nothing to rest Plotting all your demise Just one shot to the chest Thoughts lost in the wind Unclear with revenge With one thought in mind You can try your best Everyone was clear with what they had to say What’s done is done now you’re left in the grey Where are you now, where are you now Hope to god to find some rest Sweet as a dream I must confess Can’t deny your gravity Push and pull just like the sea Sea, Gravity x2 You bleed the black of your scars You leave nothing to rest Plotting all your demise Just one shot to the chest Thoughts lost in the wind Unclear with revenge With one thought in mind You can try your best Now everything is clear with what we had to say What’s done is don now you’re left in the grey Where are you now, where are you now Hope to god to find some rest Sweet as a dream I must confess Can’t deny your gravity Push and pull just like the sea Sea, Gravity x2 I let it go long ago I sold my soul along with yours Hope to god to find some rest Sweet as a dream I must confess Can’t deny your gravity Push and pull just like the sea Sea, Gravity x2

I've been putting Up the walls so I can hide I've been looking for myself and not my pride I assume that they should recognize all of The signs My world collapsed as I filtered through The darkness that embraced the light the truth I've held onto the hope but now I can't believe it's happening to you Oh, what's to say when I know you're going away you're what I needed you're what I needed Oooh oooh ooh ooh Who's to say how I do what's it mean to you she's what I needed she's what I needed Ooh ooh ooh ooh I've been putting off the calls while I try To figure out a better way tonight Little did you know my heart is racing as I lie here waiting To find the words to write I have no intention but to see you smile A loss for words comes easy in these times Letting go of all you do is everything and anything Oh, what's to say when I know you're going away you're what I needed you're what I needed Oooh oooh ooh ooh Who's to say how I do what's it mean to you she's what I needed she's what I needed Ooh ooh ooh ooh I’ve been waiting holding on Learning time will still move on With your love my heart beats strong but I won't, I won’t ever move on Oh oh You've left your mark I will never lose that spark What's to say when I know you're going away you're what I needed she's what I needed Who's to say how I do what's it mean to you she's what I needed she's what I needed Oh, what's to say when I know you're going away you're what I needed you're what I needed Oooh oooh ooh ooh She's what I needed x4 Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lucky 03:51
I'm feeling kind of lucky When you touch me It's driving me crazy Hey you looker Got me looking I'm feeling kind of lucky When you show me That you sure as hell know me Hey you looker Got me looking Oh my dear I can Hear you call my name Oh my dear I Want you all the same She always says I may be here but I can't hear you Where has my mind gone Where has the time gone It's all gone x2 Where has my mind gone Where is the line drawn It's all gone x2 I find it kind of funny When you fool me And you see right through me Hey you looker Got me looking Oh my dear I can Hear you call my name You always say I may be here but I can't hear you Where has my mind gone Where has the time gone It's all gone x2 Where has my mind gone Where is the line drawn It's all gone It's all gone

Let me tell you about a day It might seem kind of strange To talk about the one we loved To celebrate the love she gave Stripes and Tears fill the eyes Onlookers will pass on by Never to forget The hearts of many Will hold on tight You're beautiful The sun is arising As we let her go Her past will remind us Now we paint it gold She's got the world x3 Tears of joy fill the sky The Stars employ you by there side We must stay true in all we do Not to trust the fakes and fools As life moves on and drinks run dry A broken heart is in disguise Never to forget The life you lived Will shine in all our eyes You're beautiful The sun is arising As we let her go Her past will remind us Now we paint it gold She's got the world x3 Whoa whoa x6 The sun is arising As we let her go Her past will remind us Now we paint it gold She's got the world x3

Tessa 03:33
She's got pearls The only things in her world Ask her how she feels with diamonds on her heels She jumped the gun Tessa knows how to run From all the things she's become And now she's lost Hurry you can see your breath fade into the night sky where diamonds hide When you say that all is gone Can you stand by all you've done When you say Just let it fade She's got time Misguided by the offbeat lies Asking herself what do I have to lose She's no fool Tessa can't leave too soon Surrounded by a life that She would never choose Hurry you can see your breath fade into the night sky where diamonds hide When you say that all is gone Can stand by all you've done When you say Just let it fade She's got it all I wait on call I wait on call She takes her time I'm mesmerized I'm mesmerized When you say that all is gone I hope that you can stand by all you've done When you say Just let it fade
