Feet on the Ground

One day you’re up and feeling fine
But next day you’re down, can happen any time
One day you’re high up in the sky
But next day you’re low and I wonder why
‘Cause you go up and you go down
You never keep your feet on the ground
One day you’re where I know you are
But next day you’re gone, and your very far
‘Cause you go up and you go down
You never keep your feet on the ground
No oh oh, no oh oh, no oh oh

I Give Up
02:24
|
|||
|
Every time I see you,
I have to figure where we are
‘Cause what we’ve been through,
I know it’s gone too far.
And every time I try again,
I always end up with regret.
I get denied and then,
I end up feeling so upset.
Lost sight of the parameters
What is the status quo
Lost sight of what still matters
And I know I should just let it go.
So why did I even try
We already said goodbye
What was I hoping for
Oh we’ve been here before
And every time you keep your cool
I can’t see who you were before
And I just feel a fool
Thinking I wanted something more.
Lost sight of the parameters
What is the status quo
Lost sight of what still matters
And I know I should just let it go
So why did I even try
We already said goodbye
What was I hoping for
Oh we’ve been here before
And I didn’t even cry
Last time when we said our goodbyes
Why should I hope for more
So now I’ll close the door

You can’t take it, take it, take it away
Got to face it, face it, face it some day
Be careful what you wish for
Playing mind games in my head
Tried to find ways to come to an end
I was chasing my bitter dreams
What was waiting I didn’t see
You can’t take it, take it, take it away
Got to face it, face it, face it someday
Be careful what you wish for
And my dark prayers I think were heard
In this hard way my lesson’s learned
In what way can I make amends
This is not way I meant
You can’t take it, take it, take it away
Got to face it, face it, face it someday
Be careful what you wish for

Rear Window
02:30
|
|||
|
Was driving in my car
Had to get on the move
So many roads there are
I didn’t have a clue
I didn’t know the way
Where was I heading
Just had to go away
And start forgetting
But I kept on looking through the rear window
But should have focused on the road
Woh ooh oh
I’m finding out the way
I’m getting right on track
I won’t get more delayed
No way that I’ll turn back
I’m driving in my car
I’m going steady
I kept it up this far
So long already
I kept on looking through the rear window
But should have focused on the road
Woh ooh oh

Twisting My Words
03:11
|
|||
|
Why don’t you listen to what I say
‘Cause now you’re missing the point that I was trying to make
The thing I said
You turned it on its head
And now I’m in this situation
And all because of your misinterpretation
I’m really disappointed
That you missed my point here
You’re twisting my words around
You’re mixing up the terms somehow
So listen to me now
Stop twisting my words around
My words were taken out of context
The way you quote me, that’s really not what I then said
Let me convey to you
What I know is true
You’re twisting my words around
You’re mixing up the terms somehow
So listen to me now
Stop twisting my words around

Don't Bother
05:32

You gotta find a better way
And figure what you wanna say
If you don’t know what to talk about
It’s better if you just walk out
You gotta find a better way
Cause this is really not okay
If you think this is the way to go
It’s better if you just lay low
You don’t have to say
That you’re gonna go away
Why bother to say bye
If you can’t even say hi
You gotta find a better way
Maybe there’s nothing left to say
Maybe it’s better after all
Not to say anything at all
You don’t have to say
That you’re gonna go away
Why bother to say bye
If you can’t even say hi

No IOU
03:14
|
|||
|
Don’t want your favours
I won’t be bound
Won’t pay you later
I’ll pay you now
Don’t want your kindness
Or affability
‘cause nothing’s priceless
I’ll keep my dignity
Don’t wanna o-o-o-owe you anything
So here’s your payment
‘cause I don’t want a debt
And it’s a statement
This is what you get
Don’t wanna o-o-o-owe you anything

Two Minds
03:15
|
|||
|
I don’t know what I want
I wish I had my own personal standpoint
To me this matter is clearly two-sided
Why am I sometimes so indecisive
Oooh
I really feel that I’m torn
Between the two things that I’m longing for
And I see that I’m stuck in the middle
Making a choice is not that simple
Oooh
I can’t choose
I can’t decide
Because of you I’m in two minds
I’m in two minds, I’m in two minds
I gotta find my way out
I gotta find it without any doubt
when staying here I'm running hot and cold
if I don't choose then I will lose control
Oooh
I can’t choose
I can’t decide
Because of you I’m in two minds
I’m in two minds, I’m in two minds

Crossed Wires
02:29
|
|||
|
Tried to get on the phone
Wanted to say hello
Why did it take so long
Guess something went wrong
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
The signal’s lost, I can’t get through – ooh, ooh ooh
I can’t get through
I tried to dial again
Wanted to talk to my friend
I heard a voice but then
It was another dead end
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
The signal’s lost I can’t get through – ooh -ooh…
I can’t get through
I tried another day
But then the line was engaged
It’s never two-way
We can’t communicate
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
We got our wires crossed
The signal’s lost I can’t get through – ooh -ooh…
I can’t get through

Head up High
02:38
|
|||
|
I wasted my time
Saying it’s fine
I did everything that I could do
Just anything for you
My soul exposed
My self disclosed
And you then only turned your head
You didn’t seem to care
And I tried to swallow my pride
So many times
Now I hold my head high
Now hear my voice
Perfectly voiced
Doing anything that I can do
But this time not for you
And I tried to swallow my pride
So many times
Now I hold my head high

Social Graces
02:11
|
|||
|
I know that you’re not my friend
And I won’t ask you to pretend
And I’m not asking you to say
What you don’t mean anyway
And I’m not asking you to lie
I know you’re not that type of guy
But I think that you could at least
Have shown a bit of courtesy
I guess you lack social graces
And you decide to not react
I think you could have shown some tact
To you it might not be relevant
To me it’s social etiquette
I guess you lack social graces

Developing Traits
05:11
|
|||
|
Who am I
that’s what I wanna know
I realise
It doesn’t always show
Who am I
Guess I should know by now
But I’m still surprised
By what I do and how
Cause I’m developing traits I didn’t know I had
Developing traits am I really that bad
Who am I
I don’t wanna know
I’ll close my eyes
When it’s a no-go
Cause I’m developing traits I didn’t know I had
Developing traits am I really that bad
