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 03:37
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

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?

Bad Habits 03:40
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

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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
