Inside Out (free) 03:22
INSIDE OUT What else could it be? Is there something wrong with me? And would you really care If I ever came up for air? Is this a game we play, That you thought up along the way? Well, I guess I'll have to tag along. 'Cos when I'm there, you're gone. But everything's all right And everything's okay And even when you run I'll love you just the same 'Cos you're Turning me inside out You're driving me up the wall, But everything's all right You'll catch me when I fall But everything's all right And everything's okay And even when you run I'll love you anyway 'Cos you're... Turning me inside out. You're driving me up the wall, But everything's all right You'll catch me when I fall Yeah you're turning me inside out You're driving me up the wall, But everything's all right I'll catch you when you fall Catch you when you fall.

So It Goes (free) 04:09
SO IT GOES How do you stop from breaking down? How do you start from zero ground? How does it feel to finish last? How do you heal a broken past? Why are things we hold so dear, so far away? Why don't we let our fears subside, just for a day? And so it goes, So it goes. How many days are we to see? How can we live them being free? Why have we changed when all we need is in our hearts? Why did we meet, in love, and now are worlds apart? And so it goes, So it goes. I know it's been a long time Shut out from the sunshine Cut off from the lifelines That keep us alive. Drifting out to the ocean Lost in the wreckage Marooned on our islands That keep us apart. And so it goes, So it goes.

My One (free) 03:59
MY ONE Skip past the boring parts And need me from the start I’ve mended this fractured heart I couldn’t stand to break apart Silent words you said They’re screaming in my head This playing hard to get Distractions we’ll soon regret Don’t build be up To tear me down We’ve got to last somehow. Don’t rope me in And spit me out. You ought to know by now Closer, bring me closer It’s piercing, without you. And love me, baby love me We’re too old for make believe Don’t build be up to tear me down We’ve got to last somehow. Don’t rope me in And spit me out. You ought to know by now That you are And you are Yes you are My one Don’t build be up to knock me down We’ve got to last somehow. Don’t rope me in And spit me out. You ought to know by now You ought to know You should know You need to know you’re My one

Empire of Light (free) 04:47
EMPIRE OF LIGHT Get me off this burning plane Let me fall to Earth again Once you've changed, you can't go home Damaged goods and broken hearts Bring me back, let's make a start Don't tell me I'm not going to make it You can't keep me down I know how to face it 'Cos there's no reason, no need to fear I'll keep building my empire of light Wake me up and bring me round Nothing's gone that's lost and found Don't tell me it's already over You can't shut me out I'm already closer There's no reason, no need to fear I'll keep building my empire of light Let me dream I need to fly There's no reason, no need to fear I'll keep building my empire of light this empire of light
