Easy To Me 03:03
You don't like the pressure of my calls It comes so easy to me Easy to me And you don't like to see your heroes fall It comes so easy to me Easy to me Make me drop my number, let me know If you're uneasy with me Easy with me 'Cause you don't like the pressure of my calls It comes so easy to me Easy to me Make me drop my number, let me know If you're uneasy with me Easy with me 'Cause you don't like the pressure of my calls It comes so... You don't like the pressure of my calls It comes so... You don't like the pressure of my calls It comes so... Easy to me Easy to me

Sex formed of a meet named stranger What am I gonna do about you? You're the only one Standing in my way You're the only one Standing in my way And if you see my wife Please tell her that I'm on my way and Don't be so unkind, 'Cause if she's willing I'll be on my way to you. Sex formed of a meet named stranger What was I to do? I was happy enough with you Sex formed of a meet named stranger What am I gonna do about you? You're the only one Standing in my way You're the only one Standing in my way And if you see my wife Please tell her that I'm on my way and Don't be so unkind, 'Cause if she's willing I'll be on my way to you.

Reconnect 04:32
I'm tired of sitting 'round the house I'm tired of doing well without I want to reconnect with you I'm tracing patterns on the wall Where I'm projecting a phone call That I had yesterday with you. And I forget just what I meant When I said whatever I said That wasn't me that was just talking And I'll admit that from the start I was alone you stole my heart That was as far as I could see Sweet-talking gets me of the hook Returns the liberties I took And all you have to say is fine And I'll continue as I do I look to everything but you I am assuming you are mine My memory's playing 'round the clock Your voice is telling me to stop My hands are working by themselves My brain is dead, my heart is cold I'm shaking, fear is taking hold But I am feeling something else. There's something running down my face My things are lying 'round the place I want to reconnect with you. I'm tracing pictures on the wall I wonder why you haven't called I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you I want to reconnect with you

I only realise now She was drunk both times Is she the kind of girl To whom it don’t mean a thing Am I to understand That’s the way you are Am I to understand We’ll only get so far Am I so happy now it’s all I thought it would be For the moment little brown eyes open for No, I don’t remember the last one. No, I won’t remember you. I only realise now That it's not my fault If it's the kind of world In which it don't mean a thing And I don't think that I Will get dressed tonight There's just a sense that I Finally have it right Am I so happy now it's all I thought it would be For the moment little brown eyes open for No, I don't remember the last one. No, I won't remember you. Am I so happy now it's all I thought it would be For the moment little brown eyes open for No, I don't remember the last one. No, I won't remember you.

She’s the kind of girl you know Who likes to keep account of what she owes And I would try to let her out But I can hear her when she’s not around And she’s saying things about my hair She’s saying things about my hair She is wondering why the guys don’t know Why she’s afraid of what she owes She is only learning of a different kind of love He’s the only man you love He’s the only man you’re thinking of He’d never try to make a deal The kind of love that you don’t have to feel But she’s leaving him now she’s grown She’s leaving him now she’s grown And I’m saying all the right things I’m saying all the right things She is feeling like she’ll owe her man A willful taste of all she is She thinks she’s only learning of A different kind of love So maybe she can be the man Get the money any way she can I’ll wait in the house alone Give her what she needs when she comes home But I’m just as blind as the rest I’m just as blind as the rest Cause she’s saying things about my hair She’s saying things about my hair She is feeling like she’ll owe the world To anyone who’ll take her in She thinks she’s only learning of a different kind of love She is wondering why the guys don’t know Why she’s afraid of what she owes She is only learning of a different kind of love

Take it from me There's a better way Try it and see If you can get away Only wanting someone there to believe in. Taking it in As you're hangin' 'round Pressure begins As I'm coming down What I need is someone there to relieve it. So, Leave it to me, Yeah, leave it to me Yeah, leave it before you reach for the old compartment I know it for sure So show me no more I've seen it before This school for the open-hearted Let's get started Leave it, Leave it, Leave it, Leave it. Checking it out Like a guarantee Taking it down Like for you and me Don't believe that what you get isn't with it Letting it go Like it was twenty-five Hours ago And I'm still alive What I've done is what you need to begin with So, Leave it to me, Yeah, leave it to me Yeah, leave it before you reach for the old compartment I know it for sure So show me no more I've seen it before This school for the open-hearted Let's get started Leave it, Leave it, Leave it, Leave it. So, Leave it to me, Yeah, leave it to me Yeah, leave it before you reach for the old compartment I know it for sure So show me no more I've seen it before This school for the open-hearted Let's get started Leave it, Leave it, Leave it, Leave it.

Come with a friend It's a logical thing Where on earth have you been Listening in Things people say You'll forget about them Such a typical end It's all about him So, Don't you want to? Don't you want to Be hung like a superstar Be happier where you are And lie awake Lie awake Don't you want to? Don't you want to Be hung like a superstar Be happier where you are And lie awake Telling me things Things she wants me to know Makes me go-go-go-go I'm ready to leave So, here's a new thing Tiny, easy to use I was thinking of you Thinking of you So, Don't you want to? Don't you want to Be hung like a superstar Be happier where you are And lie awake Lie awake Don't you want to? Don't you want to Don't you want to Don't you want to Don't you want to Don't you want to Let it go, Let it goooooooo Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So, Don't you want to? Don't you want to Be hung like a superstar Be happier where you are And lie awake Lie awake Don't you want to? Don't you want to Be hung like a superstar Be happier where you are And lie awake

Big Cities 02:18
We thrive on big cities Love Vidis We make it out sailing Arms flailing Hand in hand It's all we try to understand We've got a lot riding Insiding We thrive on big cities Love videos That show the open road It's all we know We thrive on big cities Love Vidis We make it out sailing Arms flailing Hand in hand It's all we try to understand

Can you take it? Can you take it all in Does it not look right Does it not fit in? That's where I find myself today Afraid of what I'll throw away Don't drink a beer Don't stay in bed You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself Your filling time Is running out You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself Can you take it? Can you take it away Does it not feel right Is it not ok? I guess the plan I had was right I won't be coming home tonight Don't drink a beer Don't stay in bed You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself Your filling time Is running out You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself Because of what's projected Down across the years I feel as expected But it's not too late It's not as bad as that Don't stay in bed You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself Your filling time Is running out You've got to help yourself You've got to help yourself

Never Know 04:00
You'd spend Another evening Another morning In the same vein You'd let Me overtake you We'd have a great time Holding it in and, Letting it out, letting it out Letting it out, letting it out But I'll never know where I went wrong If you go away So give me something Give me one thing There must be something I can say You know That if you're lonely That I am only Just a call away Call on 'Cause I'm awaiting Some overtaking While we still feel young, Meeting in time, meeting in time Meeting in time, meeting in time But I'll never know where I went wrong If you go away So give me something Give me one thing There must be something I can say I guess now That things are different I hear you're moving In the new year I guess you Won't overtake me So I'll just freewheel To the finish line, Riding it out, riding it out Riding it out, riding it out But I'll never know where I went wrong If you go away So give me something Give me one thing There must be something I can say
