Run 03:49
It's extra dark tonight but this house stays light cause you've gone and left me alone thats when the thought occurs to me To Run Run Run... I've got the strength to carry the weight of my mistakes they have kept me anchored here but I'm ready to give it all it takes Out this door Down this street it's all stained with memories of you which only pushes me not to retreat Cause Imma Run Run Run... Now I'm lost in this dark city With no where to go With the street lights illuminating my pack bags All I feel All I feel Is free All I feel is free Cause Ive Run Run Run... x2

I wonder how you keep it alive? White golden sparkling eyes. Filter through venetian blinds, I’m staring all the time. But it’s when the sunshine hits your face, I can’t believe it. It’s silly how we fight and sometimes your sense of humour is different to mine Reflection from the window sill Is blinding me until But it’s when the sunshine hits your face, brighter than a million stars in space, I can’t believe it. Soft hair that’s tied in a knot Brightly dark and never been cut You look up and smile as you see I can’t believe it’s me. But it’s when the sunshine hits your face, brighter than a million stars in space, safe within my arms; your smiling grace, I can’t believe it. But it’s when the sunshine hits your face, brighter than a million stars in space, safe within my arms; your smiling grace, rolling in the softest clouds of lace, I can’t believe it I can’t believe it I can’t believe it I can’t believe it.

We got a long way to go but if we keep going slow we’ll arrive on time. And if it’s not true I know We need some time away We need some time away from it all Come on darling, we need a little time away Forget the phone and unplug the internet Come on gorgeous, who gives a shit what they say It’ll all be there tomorrow and then the next day Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh Angel won’t you come around Pack a beach bag and towel We’ll hit the wine No one can follow us from now I’ve covered our tracks just fine We need some time away We need some time away from it all Come on darling, we need a little time away Forget the phone and unplug the internet Come on gorgeous, who gives a shit what they say It’ll all be there tomorrow and then the next day

Red Red Rose 03:38
O my Luve is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve is like the melody That’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve! And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my luve, Though it were ten thousand mile.

It seems to me that boredom Is on the rise again Time seems so slow The stillness makes me solemn I’ll fall asleep again There’s nowhere else to go Turn the radio down The traffic outside makes that din And my thoughts all drown Grab the keys we’ll take a spin With the windows down Take a left, take a right No stops on this frenzied flight Except to get som gas So we can drive all night If you want me to But it won’t seem long Just enjoy the sights I’m here to comfort you When it all goes wrong I wind my window down The water outside rushes in And my thoughts all drown Grab the keys we’ll take a spin With the window down.
