Lost Again
Always had to run
Trying to be someone
That I was not for far too long
Never saw a change
Everyday the same
And I was waiting for the pain to fade
Wish those clouds were lifting now
Then I wouldn’t feel so down
And for so long now I was only waiting for those feelings
to return to me again
And for so long now I was only hoping for a sign
but now it’s here I find – I’m Lost Again
Was happy just to be
Giving up on dreams
Just wasting time haunting same old streets
I had it figured out
What life was all about
But I was scared to feel something
Wish those clouds were lifting now
And the sun was bursting out
And for so long now I was only waiting for those feelings
to return to me again
And for so long now I was only hoping for a sign
but now it’s here I find – I’m Lost Again
Now I’m living for each day
Got no need to ever hide myself away
And for so long now I was only waiting for those feelings
to return to me again
And for so long now I was only hoping for a sign
but now it’s here I find – I’m Lost Again
I’m Lost Again

Dragonfly
Never travelled down this way before
Flying through the dusty streets
Could be on the road to anywhere
Cares are gone, the mind’s at peace
And my friends are here beside me now
Sweet contentment’s deep inside
We don’t even need to say a word
Just remember this for life
See the dragonfly in the twilight sky, music fills the air
And the heat it lingers on
And the children play as the daylight fades, clouds are all in gold
Watch the colours til they’re gone
And the only thing that stops me feeling lonely
Is when I think about those days
And the only thing that stops me feeling lonely
Is when I think about those days
And if you ever get this feeling
Don’t let it pass you by
It’s like a stirring that’s inside your soul
A simple moment lost in time
See the dragonfly in the twilight sky, music fills the air
In my heart it will remain
We were singing loud, under golden cloud, mind’s without a care
Not just another day
And the only thing that stops me feeling lonely
Is when I think about those days
And the only thing that stops me feeling lonely
Is when I think about those days
Those days, when I think about those days
Those days, when I think about those days

Wildfire
There’s no turning back, just letting go
Say goodbye to this life we know
Turn out the lights, turn the key
Lets chase the moon before it slips away
No doubting in our minds
No more running blind
Out of control like a Wildfire burning
We’re out on our own tonight
Nobody knows, it’s like the world’s stopped turning
Cos tonight it’s in our eyes – Wildfire
Follow the stars, there’s cloud overhead
Take more than rain to stop us now
I catch my breath, I cling onto you
Feel so afraid but it feels so good
No doubting in our minds
We’re gonna touch the sky
Out of control like a Wildfire burning
We’re out on our own tonight
Nobody knows it’s like the world’s stopped turning
Cos tonight it’s in our eyes – Wildfire
Tonight it’s in our eyes – Wildfire
There’s no doubting in our minds
We’re gonna touch the sky
We’re out of control like a wildfire burning
We’re out on our own tonight
Nobody knows, it’s like the world’s stopped turning
Cos tonight it’s in our eyes, tonight it’s in our eyes
Out of control like a wildfire burning
We’re out on our own tonight
Nobody knows, it’s like the world’s stopped turning
Cos tonight it’s in our eyes, tonight it’s in my eyes, tonight it’s in your eyes – Wildfire
Oh Wildfire

Universe
Pictures from a different time
Lie around me in the failing light
And turn my thoughts to you and me again
Memories are fading now
They’re drifting out of sight
To bring them back to me you know I’d search
The Universe, the universe
Close my eyes and feel you near
Something tells me you’re still here
The feeling never seems to last for long
No more alone, so safe with you
You took away my fear
To bring you back to me you know I’d search
The Universe, the universe
I never want to say goodbye
I never meant to leave your side
Turn around and walk away
Try and fight another day
I can’t believe that you could leave me here
If I could see your face again
If there was a way
To bring you back to me you know I’d search
Across the Universe, the universe….

Love You Anyway
Caught in a moment
Frozen in time
And I don’t remember
How we said goodbye
And I know you’re leaving
It’s hurting inside
So much unspoken
Feelings I hide
So if you think that there is something here
Let’s not throw it away
There’s just so much I want to say
And even though it’s not the right time
I’m still going out of my mind
And though I know I can’t make you stay
I love you anyway
If I never met you
Would I be the same
There’s just something about you
It won’t go away
So if you think that there is something here
Let’s not throw it away
There’s just so much I need to say
And even though it’s not the right time
I’m still going out of my mind
And though I know I can’t make you stay
I love you anyway
There’s just so much that we could do
Not gonna stop thinking of you
Just let me know
And even though it’s not the right time
I’m still going out of my mind
And though I know I can’t make you stay
I love you anyway…

When You Go
Never felt the sunshine til you took my hand
Never had such feelings now I understand
You’re chasing your dreams but I’m losing mine
Cos you’re taking flight, into the night, without goodbye
And when you go, you leave me lonely
How will I know, you love me only
It’s funny how, we don’t say what we feel
Til it’s too late, it’s too late
It is all so easy when you’re here with me
All the fears are gone til the time you leave
Getting tired of promises that you can’t keep
Now you’re far away, nothing more to say or do
And when you go, you leave me lonely
How will I know, you love me only
It’s funny how we don’t say what we feel
Til it’s too late, it’s too late
It’s too late, it’s too late
It’s too late, it’s too late

You Will Know
Like the sweetest dream
When you came to me that night
Ran a thousand miles
Just to see you smiling bright
And when you feel the way I do, you’ll know, you will know
Now I close my eyes
Try to memorise those words
That you said to me
Now a memory that hurts
And when you feel a love so true, you’ll know, you will know
And when love comes around
You find you won’t come down
Cos when your world is torn in two, you’ll know, you will know
Hard to face the day
Now you’re far away from me
Love had robbed me blind
You broke this heart of me I see
And when you lose the love you knew, you’ll know, you will know
You will know…

The way it goes
We had some good times and some bad times too
You know I lost it all when I lost you
Wasting too much of my time away
I can’t stand another day
You know the way it goes sometimes
You know the way it goes sometimes
And now I feel so very far from home
Losing my way cos I miss you so
I’ve got to get away, it calls my name
Cos I know it won’t ever be the same
You know the way it goes
You know the way it goes
I’ve got to get away, it’s just no good
You know I’d change it all if I could
Now you know how many tears I’ve cried
There’s nothing more I have to hide
And you know
And You know
You know the way it goes sometimes
You know I’ll try to get by this time
You know the way it goes sometimes
You know the way it goes sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes…

Just Getting By
Sometimes you find it hard
Takes all your strength in just getting by
I feel I’m drifting far
You’re all I see no matter what I do
Seems like a lifetime ago
Already there’s so much I want to tell you
And how my life has changed
But still you’re here no matter where I go
You’re smiling through the tears
Think you know your life was precious
Wish we had our time again
You’re all I see no matter what I do
Sometimes you find it hard
Takes all your strength in just getting by

Why
Always working
Always searching
Never finding what you’re looking for
Always waiting
Always hoping
Never minding, but you’re wanting more
And you never seem to have the time
And I’m losing what I thought was mine
And they always have to be so kind oh why, oh why
Always fighting
Always smiling
Now I’m tired of the radio
Always learning
Always hurting
Deep inside but you won’t let it show
And it always has to take so long
And you never feel like you belong
And you always have to be so strong oh why
Always faking
Time is wasting
Bodies’ aching, oh why
And you never seem to have the time
And I’m losing what I thought was mine
And they always have to be so kind oh why
Oh oh oh oh oh…oh why
Oh Why

Mountain Hideaway
My mountain hideaway
Is where I hold you close
Don’t mind the summer rain that’s falling
My mountain hideaway
Is where I see you most
And my November heart is melting
And the people I meet don’t mean a thing
You’re the only one that I will see
Want to hold this night so it will never end
Oh Oh Oh Oh
My mountain hideaway
Is where the feelings grow
And now I’m frightened by the way I feel
My mountain hideaway
Is where I’ll always know
That there is just no getting over you
And the things that I do won’t mean a thing
Oh oh you’re the only one I need
Oh oh I want to hold these thoughts forever
Oh Oh Oh Oh
My mountain hideaway

Changing Times
Bonus track on Lost Again – The Acoustic Sessions 2007
Staring into space I wonder where you are
You’re always with me but you seem so far
But you know that I’d be lost without you
And everything you do
Through changing times you always stay the same
When the rain starts to fall
When the sun it shines
When the seasons come and go
On these changing times, changing times
Living our lives day to day we never notice how time slips away
Our good friends they come and go
But there’s one thing I know
You will be there to guide me
In everything I do
Through changing times you always stay the same
When the rain starts to fall
When the sun it shines
When the seasons come and go
On these changing times
No reason to change a thing
If you’re by my side
I hope you never ever change
Oh oh I won’t let you go
No never let you go
May you always stay the same
When the rain starts to fall
When the sun it shines
When the seasons come and go
On these changing times
Oh oh oh Changing times
