It's a lot like falling
Taking that first step onto the street
The whole night before you
Spreading out like a Technicolor dream

So take this city into your arms and hold it like a kiss
Don't it feel like flying, darlin', what could be better than this?

Turn up the bright lights
Light up the world tonight
Shine like a star
shine above and sail away
Turn up the bright lights

On a Paris morning
Long before the sun would dare to rise
Walking on the river
Reflecting diamonds in your eyes

So take this city and catch your breath and listen to the song
Cause she moves like music, darlin', but in a moment she'll be gone

Turn up the bright lights
Light up the world tonight
Shine like a star
Shine above and sail away

Turn on the mystery
There's no other place to be
It's only you and me
Beneath this perfect sky
Turn on the bright lights
Turn on the bright lights

So take this city and catch your breath and hold it like a kiss...

Turn up the bright lights
Light up the world tonight
Shine like a star
Shine above and sail away

Turn on the mystery
There's no other place to be
It's only you and me
Beneath this perfect sky

Turn up the bright lights
Light up the world tonight
Shine like a star
Shine above and sail away

Turn up the bright lights
Light up the world tonight

Paper Empire (2009)
This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
Us to sleep
While outside, The city hurries; The endless worries Are out of reach Promise me we'll never leave this room, A million years from now would be too soon. The world is spinning turning day to night And my thoughts are running at the speed of light Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill Absolutely still I waited longer 'cause I needed proof That every door I shut is leading me to you And there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill Absolutely still We were running From the same noise, We were stuck in The same pursuit Now the door's locked And I find that The dizzy madness Is bleeding through Promise me you'll never leave this room, A million years from now would be too soon. The world is spinning turning day to night And my thoughts are running at the speed of light Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill Absolutely still I waited longer 'cause I needed proof That every door I shut is leading me to you And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill Absolutely still Promise me you'll never leave this room, A million years from now would be too soon. The world is spinning turning day to night And my thoughts are running at the speed of light Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill Absolutely still I waited longer 'cause I needed proof That every door I shut is leading me to you And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill Absolutely still I'll go anywhere you want tonight 'cause my head is spinning like a satellite I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill I'm absolutely still

I can't tell you why
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live

[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded

I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive

[Chorus]

We are wounded

With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live

[Chorus]

We are wounded
We are wounded

I haven't felt you for a while
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.

[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.

I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.

[Chorus]

I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am

And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.

[Chorus]

There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?

If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
Could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
And all the scars you have fade away
For just one day

Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
Or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade away?

For just one day

And the night
All the good times and the fights
All the take and the give
All the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would it feel if every dream came real
And all the scars you have fade a way

[Repeat]

For just one day [x2]

If you could change the choices that you made,
Would you do it- today?

Paper Empire (2009)
I want to start
I want find
I need to know where you gonna hide
'Cause I'm out of breath
My air is gone
Running to see you, being alone
'Cause you really want to settle the truth
Let me be the one to offer you proof

Oh, how you fit me
Oh, how you do
You know that you only
I'm head over you
Oh, how it hit me
Caught up and bruised
Despite all these cynical lies
I finally found a piece to fit in my life

I was a drift
Out on my own
You came along and carried me home
'Cause you are a spark
A distant headlight
Can't stop my eyes
From keeping you in sight

'Cause I'm not looking for a broken excuse
but I need you now to heal all my wounds
Oh, how you fit me
Oh, how you do
You know that you only
I'm head over you
Oh, how it hit me
I'm caught up and bruised
Despite all these cynical lies
I finally found a piece to fit

'Cause I'm made long
I feigned some
At what I become
And my eyes were drawn
'Til you came along
The world is quite confused
You're my only and absolute
But oh, how you fit me
Oh, how you do
You know that you only
I'm head over you
Oh, how it hit me
I'm caught up and bruised
Despite all these cynical lies
And Oh, how you fit me
Oh, how you do
You know that you only
I'm head over you
Oh, how it hit me
I'm Bound up in you
Despite all these cynical lies
I finally found a piece to fit in my life

I finally found a piece to fit in my life.

Ooooh... ooooh.... ooooh.... ooooh.... ooooh.

Before The Robots (2005)
You're a long walk in a rain storm
You're a cut that refuses to heal
You're a dull ache that I can't shake
You're a cold that's clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can't fight

If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight

You're a stalled car in the desert
You're a song I can't get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline

If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight

Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I'm drifting I'm drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I'm drifting I'm drifting

Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight

If the night is cold
And you're feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you're wearing thin
Feel you're giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You'll find daylight
