1.	Nobody 03:22	lyrics	buy track
4 walls No bars or chains or locks But all I need to feel confined is the darkness of my mind and the ticking of the clock 3 words Are all that I can hear Because I’m screaming them so loud but they never make a sound They just linger in my ears… Chorus: Will someone tell me who I’m supposed to be? Cause right now I’m a nobody Right now I’m a nobody Will someone tell me what I’m supposed to do? When I’m tired of being me In this darker shade of blue 2 eyes But they don’t like what they see So they shut themselves real tight never let in any light too afraid to be open and free 1 girl Just look how much she’s grown But I’ll bet you’d never guess that even at her best In a crowd full of people she’s still all alone… Chorus I don't want your sympathy Just ignore me as I scream Chorus
2.	Touch 03:54	lyrics	buy track
It’s a delicate dance but we’re not the most graceful We’re taking a chance with our love on the line & I know in a while we’ll look back & we’ll laugh But right now it’s more serious than I’d like. We’ve taken our time, but I’m growing impatient. The touch of your skin sets my heart on fire I don’t want to leave with all these feelings wasted & I don’t want to be afraid of my desires. Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut & our best intentions aren’t good enough to satisfy our bleeding hearts. It’s late in the evening but we're wide awake I can hear your heart beating from a mile away. I’m drumming my fingers to my own heart’s racings While you're inching on closer to our glory days Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut Our best intentions aren’t good enough to satisfy our bleeding hearts. Well aren’t we just a couple writers without stories The harder we try the more the pages run & our best intentions they struggle for their footing While we stand at the edge of it all… Or maybe we'll fall... maybe. Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut Our best intentions aren’t good enough to satisfy our bleeding hearts. Oh aren't we just a couple poets without verses We can't seem to find the reason or rhyme & our best intentions will be long lost & forgotten & we won't care at all
3.	Runaway 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I’m the city & you’re the sea I love it when your waves wash over me You’re the summer & I’m the fall I wonder if we should be together at all… I’m the addict, you’re the drug I don’t know if I’ll ever get enough But I do know that I’d go insane Without the needle in my vein Will you stay? Will I run away? Will you change? Will we ever be the same? Oh, I'm the city & you're the sea My careless lover, so wild & free You're the sun on a cloudy day Your light frightens all the clouds away But sometimes storms come raging back And make their home in a heart so black I wonder if you'd be by my side If you knew how I feel inside Will you stay? Will I run away? Will you change? Will we ever be the same? This world shakes My heart breaks I'm falling falling falling down But if you stay Will I stand straight Will I turn & turn & turn around...? I'm the city & you're the sea I love it when your waves wash over me...
4.	Call to Arms 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Look how far we've come and got nowhere at all. We wear a different mask but it doesn't change the past and we still take the fall. We can say we've learned and changed to something new, but with the pistol at our backs we run or we attack and then we see the truth. But we're alive. We are alive. We know that there's still time. And even though our time may fly, We gotta live while we're alive. So here's your call to arms. I wanna hear your battle cry. No matter what you choose there's nothing left to lose. Why bother asking why? 'Cause we're alive. We are alive. We know that there's still time. And even though our time may fly, We gotta live while we're alive. We can say we've learned and changed to something new, but with the pistol at our backs we run or we attack and then we see the truth. So here's your call to arms. I wanna hear your battle cry. No matter what you choose there's nothing left to lose. Why bother asking why? 'Cause we're alive. We are alive. We know that there's still time. And even though our time may fly, Oh, we gotta live while we're alive. We gotta live while we're alive.
5.	Jersey Girl 03:00	lyrics	buy track
I was born in Jersey City A little baby, oh so pretty Didn't matter that we were poor Spent our summers going down the shore I grew up listening to Bruce & John Windows down with their music on & if you wonder why they're so great It's 'cause they come from the Garden State You can take me all around the world But I'll still be a Jersey Girl If you try me out, give me a whirl You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl We've seen every kind of weather & they just brought us all together If you thought we'd crumble, you were wrong We're forever Jersey Strong You can take me all around the world But I'll still be a Jersey Girl If you try me out, give me a whirl You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl Well there's nothing wrong with London or Paris, Vienna or Rome, But they don't compare to this place I call home I'll always be a Jersey Girl Jersey might not be your scene, Maybe the streets are just too mean But I can say without a doubt If you're not here you're missing out You can take me all around the world But I'll still be a Jersey Girl If you try me out, give me a whirl You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl You can take me all around the world But I'll still be a Jersey Girl Your head'll spin like a tilt-a-whirl When you fall in love with a Jersey Girl
