LYRICS: Did you know it slowly kills you and messes with your brain? It's inevitable that it's your downfall if you keep going this way. Did you know how many people are killed by it every day? The get drunk and drive they crash and die Or they simply waste away. Drink drink drink drink away While we are young we should have fun We're gonna die anyway Did you know it clogs your arteries and settles in your veins? Just the way to go if you aim for a stroke and an early death in pain Looking at your eating habits it's clear you get nothing done Cause you are what you eat What do you want to be? A meatbag in a bun? Chomp chomp chomp chomp away Let those calories be your luxury life's too short anyway Chomp chomp chomp chomp away Every girl and boy is made to enjoy life's too short anyway Did you know the consequences of smoking cigarettes they are by far the leading cause of premature death? Did you know that Marihuana affects your daily drive? You'll lose interest in almost everything and miss out on your life Light it up, light it up, light it up, pass it on Why should we care why should we be scared while life still goes on? Light it up, light it up, light it up, pass it on Every girl and boy is made to enjoy and life's too short anyway

It's Gone 03:16
LYRICS: It's gone across the fields it's gone over the hills It's gone with the wind Over the tops of trees It's gone away My sweet sweet heart my dear old friend when the groove runs out up to its final end I try to go along in these days never wanted it to be this way everything we had will be vanished like it's just a fleeting fantasy And as I look about where we stand it doesn't feel like this is the end Just an empty site where something has died and a hole remains now that it's gone away. Turn away, turn away nothing we have left to say Turn away, turn away cause it's gone.

Misspelled 04:01
LYRICS: I thought we would do better I sure know we once did Now look at that disaster marked up in red ink And it just shows the awkward truth Is this the best that we can do? When did we unlearn? When did the tables turn? Shouldn't we be concerned when "love" spells A-P-A-T-H-Y What's been on our minds? How could we be so blind? You should know it can't be right when "together" spells A-L-O-N-E The test of time is tricky And it gets harder every year There are no second chances We didn't know how to prepare Now we are running low on time We don't think before we write How's it come to this can't believe what we missed is it just thoughtlessness when "love" comes with an S-E-L-F How could it escape our eyes How couldn't we realize something can't be right when "sex" spells T-V When did we unlearn? When did the tables turn? Shouldn't we be concerned when "love" spells A-P-A-T-H-Y What's been on our minds? How could we be so blind? You should know it can't be right when "together" spells A-L-O-N-E We can't go on this way we should re-evaluate We are bound to fail when "we" spells I

LYRICS: I'm waiting for your answer I sure know I explained It isn't what it looked like You just have to understand Calm down. Come over. I'm waiting for your answer since I texted yesterday When I swallowed my pride and called you you just pushed me away Calm down. Come over. I'm waiting for your answer I sure know I explained When I swallowed my pride and called you you just pushed me away Calm down. Come over.

Jane Again 02:38
LYRICS Jane, it's okay The sun will keep on shining and you still got that smile like in the days hey hey hey hey when just one look you gave me made my entire day Yes a lot of things have happened down the way we are different now but it somehow feels the same and I hope it's not too late to start over Jane, I see your face and I can see the lines in there you didn't have as teenager But hey, that's okay You're every bit as beautiful and maybe even more Yes a lot of things have happened down the way we are different now but it somehow feels the same and I think it's not too late to start over There's a lot of time that may have passed the chances that are now long past but Jane, we will make up for all of this It's okay the sun's come up behind me and the scenery reminds me There's a lot of things that happened down the way we are different now but it somehow feels the same and I know it's not too late to start over

Like Ants 03:07
LYRICS: We're one in many alone we're just small We live together like ants like ants like ants we soldier on We're born to work hard We're soldiering on We're so replaceable like ants like ants like ants we go on and on We don't know the reason we hatch, work and die what does it matter what does it matter like ants like ants like ants we go on and on

LYRICS: That bar again and I'm really glad to see you though the occasion's not so great You just got sacked your company got shut down so we will have one on your severance pay And all those months, all those hours overtime That time that you agreed to spend Gone forever with a handshake and a smile Where we aim is just so far from where we land You'll start again and we both know you will though at that point it makes no real sense You give your best then the world turns against you swipes you off your feet and laughs at your expense Next time they ask you at a job interview where you see yourself in five years or in ten You might just shrug and ask "What does it matter" when where we aim is just so far from where we land And then we're drunk and I really want to kiss you we agree I'll walk you home Then at your doorstep you briefly say goodnight shut the door and leave me standing in the cold And as I walk home I keep thinking to myself it's as ironic as it gets It was not your intention but you clearly made your point: What we want is just so much more than we will get.

She's feeling tired and bored and nothing really happens She don't know what she wants But seeking ways to get there Yeah She don't know where to turn The world is full of offers There's so many things to try There's so many things to buy You'll be a better you The sum of your possessions If this is the solution If this is the solution I'd like to have my problem back As always somewhere else Must be somewhere better It is anywhere but here It is anywhere but here But still you gotta cope And put up with your hopes If this is the solution If this is the solution I'd like to have my problem back Come fly away right tonight 299,- She's feeling tired and bored It don't seem to get better And everything she bought It doesn't really matter If this is the solution If this is the solution I'd like to have my problem back

I Need You 03:46
LYRICS: Well well I got what I wanted now so long, farewell. It's on. If this is what freedom feels like it's only hell Ref: I need you, now I know I need you here I need you to be by my side I need you come back 10 p.m. And I ain't going out tonight I feel I can't I guess that's what I wanted guess that's what I wanted guess that's what I wanted Now I only want you Ref. Oh before you went away I never knew I'm not that strong didn't think for so long You don't know what you got until it's gone Ref.

Closer 08:00
LYRICS: Goodbye it's time to leave this place I gotta leave it behind gotta get away Goodbye maybe I'll miss you all but I won't miss it as bad as a life of my own Even though I might end up on the street it brings me closer to where I want to be Goodbye don't ask me where I go but if I don't go now I might just never know And if I fall I will get back on my feet it brings me closer to what I want to be so Goodbye this time it's no one else when I'm far away I will be closer to myself.
