Life of the Party
03:41

I’m the life of the party, after everyones gone home
singing karaoke, wandered back to the bar on my own
a golden opportunity, just to wallow, oh oh
I’m the life of the party, after everyones gone home
Tell me, tell me everyones watching everyones waiting
for something, thrilling and wild, strong and vivacious
words that, a girl like me can only dream of
a smile that covers the tears on my pillow…..
I’m the life of the party, after everyones gone home
when nobodies watching, i’m just dancing here all on my own
buy a round of drinks with the tips that i stole from the bar
i’m the life of the party, at the end of the night in the dark
Tell me, tell me everyones watching everyones waiting
for something, thrilling and wild, strong and vivacious
words that, a girl like me can only dream of
a smile that covers the tears on my pillow…..
I’m the life of the party, after everyones gone home
making conversation, like i should have my own talk show
oh who am i kidding, i’m happiest all on my own
I’m the life of the party, after everyones gone home

In Gold

Oh i’ve been waiting for someone like you to come and want me, to lay with me all night, to tell me i’m alright , and it aint all so bad
and i’ve been waiting for someone like you to come and hold me, with those steady arms, never one to waver, never one to run
for the wind and the rain, keep on blowing they keep blowing on me
but then you and me, we keep moving we keep growing
when the wind and the rain, keep on blowing keeps blowing on me
but then you and me, still keep moving we keep on growing don’t we
oh i’ve been waiting for someone like you to come and tell me, tell me its alright, to be a little scared, when you give someone your heart
oh I’ve been waiting for someone like you to come and love me, just the way you are, the way you’ll always be, always just so good
for the wind and the rain, keep on blowing they keep blowing on me
but then you and me, we keep moving we keep growing
for the wind and the rain, keep on blowing keeps blowing on me
but then you and me, still keep moving we keep on growing don’t we
oh don’t you ever wonder which way we are going to go
i’m always thinking of you, for your on every single road
your always in my heart, your always there in gold
always there in gold
always there in gold

The Air Around Me
03:20
|
|
||
oh I’ve been pretty dumb lately
some would say that i’m a golden mess
i don’t care who sees me going going wild
as long as you might hear about it love
somethings making me all nerves
the air around me’s all in fire and sparks
something on the tip of your tongue
its something i don’t want to hear isn’t it?
oh time and place dont mean a thing
when your holding on to something for so long
whispered words can get you through
a lingering love don’t have to be so wrong
but now,
somethings making me all nerves
the air around me’s all in fire and sparks
something on the tip of your tongue
its something i don’t want to hear isn’t it?
and I’m the one who is acting out
and your the one thats always kept their cool
well hows it so easy love?
to just forget all we’ve been through
Hows it so easy love? x4
somethings making me all nerves
the air around me’s all in fire and sparks
something on the tip of your tongue
its something i don’t want to hear isn’t it?

Take a look at me now, its been a while aint it
You're looking older too, still see that smile though its fading
Your Always working so hard
Got no time to call,
what you hiding from love, scared your gunna fall?
Your the one i’m always waiting on
Lets slow this whole thing down
lets go back to when we were young
bad habits hold on strong
You’re my bad bad habit x6
take a look at me now, its been a while aint it
when someone loses their way, and someone else just has to have it
can’t we walk together, lets try to see this through
life’s a big old mountain baby, and i just wanna keep going with u
Your the one i’m always waiting on
lets slow this whole thing down
lets go back to when we were young
bad habits hold on strong
you’re my bad bad habit x6

All or Nothing
03:35
|
|
||
take a little piece of me won’t ya?
everyone else has
always giving never getting
always feeling bad
for myself, always tired
always giving it all
for all i want is to love you , or nothing at all
what a wall, what a fortress that i’ve been building up
waiting for that frost to thaw, why’d i gotta be so tough, tired and wasted on old and dying flames, won’t you come to me, my front porch and talk out in the rain
i want it all or nothing x4
its about time i ate the fruits of my labours, your mother told me you were sweet when you younger, i believe her
but times a tricky thing that i can’t put my finger on, so lets hold hands, and do this dance so i can hold on to you
i want it all or nothing x8

In the Headlights
02:54
|
|

you've been holding on
to the same old ways
its about time things should change
new can be scary
and your terrified
that a star so small could be so damn bright
can’t you just let a woman just figure — it out
without being told she's crazy --for shouting
and maybe its time that i — got loud
carried myself all big and — proud
like I know i should x2
oh im so tired
i can hardly move
but that means nothing to a man like you
a life worth of stories
growing by the day
whens the party over, how long do i have to stay?
can’t you just let a woman figure it out
without being told she’s crazy for shouting
and maybe its time that i got loud
carried myself all big and proud
like i know i should x2
everytime i take a step, everytime i think things'll get better
theres someone pulling a thread, making a joke even though he knows better
even when my names, the one in the headlights
theres always someone yelling from the back, telling me that I’m easy to look at
can’t you just let a woman figure it out
without being told she’s crazy for shouting
and maybe its time that i got loud
carried myself all big and proud
like i know i should x2

Not on You
04:01
|
|
||
oh sometimes life not fair tell me who could of known
that a rough wind had blown, and that the turn around no-one saw coming, hit the ground and starting running
oh we all hide some things, oh but i should have known
when you left me a note, saying how you was proud of me, and the music i was making made you happy
and sometimes, your love just aint enough , that’s not on you
and hard lines are drawn out in the sand, plain out of view
nobody knows what someone else is going through, day by day, night by night I’m still thinking of you
and now praise is just a curse, and i gotta keep on singing when it hurts
Cuz it made you smile, and memory is , all i have to keep you going, and our stories are that river flowing..
And now i let my thoughts just drift, and i wonder where you’d be running if, you were still here as flesh and bone, would you call when you were coming home , I guess I’ll never know
and sometimes, your love just aint enough , that’s not on you
and hard lines are drawn out in the sand, plain out of view
nobody knows what someone else is going through, day by day, night by night I’m still thinking of you
I’m still thinking of you x6

Hold On
03:50
|
|
||
Some might say to hold on to that feeling, because love is fleeting and its soon to fly
But there’s just something in my gut that’s saying, this aint something that’s soon to die
so hold on tight, its you and i x2
Oh whenever I’m feeling scattered or troubled, i look for your eyes, for that open door
always pulling me in like a rope on the water, guiding me back to your steady shores
so I hold on tight, its you and i x2
I’ve been, i’ve been troubled lately x4
And in a big old room just full of strangers, it slows right down like were the only ones
like a sip of whiskey, like an old band playing, that low light feeling and my hearts been won
so I hold on tight, its you and i x4
hold on hold on
