[verse]
storm moving in
category three
his clouds are dark and heavy
a guarantee for misery
weather man is warning
says girl you better stay inside
every one of my five senses
is telling me to run and hide
[pre-chorus]
but there’s something in the wind
whispering in my ear
sweet, seductive pretty things
takes away all my fears
[chorus]
you’re gonna pass on through
the baddest storm in town
but your sweet hurricane
won’t knock me down
you’re gonna pass on through
destruction in your path
but you’re my sweet hurricane
and I’ll be dancing in your aftermath
dancing in your aftermath
[verse]
your course is already charted
I still won’t get out of your way
guess I’m looking for some danger
to make the pain go away
I stand out in your thunder
let your rain pound down on me
still I sing as the storm blows on
I’ve never felt so free
[pre-chorus]
cause there’s something in the wind
whispering in my ear
sweet, seductive pretty things
took away all my fears
[chorus]
you’re gonna pass on through
the baddest storm in town
but your sweet hurricane
won’t knock me down
you’re gonna pass on through
destruction in your path
but you’re my sweet hurricane
[coda]
I’m tempting fate to fight me
I dare your lightening to strike me
while I soak in your storm like a bath
I’m tempting fate to fight me
I dare your lightening to strike me
while I soak in your storm like a bath
watch me dancing in your aftermath
I am dancing in your aftermath
see me dancing in your aftermath
watch me dancing in your aftermath
I am dancing in your aftermath
see me dancing in your aftermath
and you passed on through

[verse]
You’d recognize the place where I’m from
If you saw it on tv
You’d recognize those streets those sounds
Of that place that made me me
You may also see all the trash
And the cracks in the shine
But all I see is all I love
Of the place that is mine
[chorus]
I am one among the millions
just another New York girl
My city was made for me
I’m just sharing it with the world
[verse]
You may get a smile from the lady
taking money and giving change
The man who passes on the street
and looks at you strange
Filled with different people
holding different dreams
But everybody shares one thing:
they’re gonna make it by any means
[chorus]
I am one among the millions
just another New York girl
My city was made for me
I’m just sharing it with the world
[verse]
Young mothers holding down two jobs
hoping for more
Undiscovered stars do their thang
standing clear of the closing doors
There’s an energy that never fades
in the city that doesn’t sleep
You gotta keep up or step aside
before you get run over, BEEP BEEP!
[chorus]
I am one among the millions
just another New York girl
My city was made for me
I’m just sharing it with the world
[Rap by Sabac Red]
[bridge]
New York, New York 5x
Just being there makes you part of it
Just being there fills your heart with it
Filled with different people
holding different dreams
But everybody shares one thing:
they’re gonna make it by any means
[chorus 2x]
I am one among the millions
just another New York girl
My city was made for me
I’m just sharing it with the world

Make Believe
03:57
|
|||
[verse]
in another world
I’d know better
hands that promise
lips that lie
in another time
I’d regret it
bad news
you and i
[pre-chorus]
you want me
but not enough
someone else
is on your mind
but I want you
just enough
to forget what
I left behind
[chorus]
make believe and I’ll believe you
say I’ll be alright
don’t need no once upon a time
just stay with me tonight
tell me I’m your everything
no place you’d rather be
don’t need no happy ending
just make believe that you need me
[verse]
I’ll let you be
the prince
for this damsel
in distress
rescue me
from reality
cause life’s
made me a mess
[pre-chorus]
kiss away
all my sorrow
make it better than before
be my reason
for tomorrow
cause I can’t cry anymore
[chorus]
make believe and I’ll believe you
say I’ll be alright
don’t need no once upon a time
just stay with me tonight
tell me I’m your everything
no place you’d rather be
don’t need no happy ending
just make believe that you need me
[bridge]
lock me up in your tower
kiss me so I awake
I’ll melt under your power
you’ll be my best mistake
[chorus]
make believe and I’ll believe you
say I’ll be alright
don’t need no once upon a time
just stay with me tonight
tell me I’m your everything
no place you’d rather be
don’t need no happy ending
just make believe that you need me

Nothing
04:54
|

[verse]
if I were a house
alone on a hill
fence all around me
wind rattling the window sill
I’d be in ruin
though once I stood strong
walls caving in
collapsed before long
[verse]
if I were a tree
my roots will have risen
my branches all bare
my birdhouse a prison
the seasons would leave me
alone and unmoved
my willow is weeping
with no one to soothe
[chorus]
cause I’m nothing
no I’m nothing
I am nothing
nothing without you
no, I’m nothing
I am nothing
no I’m nothing
nothing without you
[verse]
if I were the sea
I’d swell in this storm
capsize your heart
make you cold when it’s warm
my waves would be tidal
and anger the moon
whirlpools of sadness
you’d be drowning soon
[chorus]
cause I’m nothing
no I’m nothing
I am nothing
nothing without you
no, I’m nothing
I am nothing
no I’m nothing
nothing without you
[bridge]
I once was a mansion
a proud oak
a tranquil sea
I used to have riches
that were not lost on me
[chorus]
cause I’m nothing
no I’m nothing
I am nothing
nothing without you
no, I’m nothing
I am nothing
no I’m nothing
nothing without you

Second Best
03:38
|
|||
[verse]
I know you love her
more than you love me
and when you close your eyes
it’s her you see
I know if you could choose
I’d lose
and no magic spell
will make this end well
[pre-chorus]
I’m still full speed ahead
down this one-way street
pushing all second thoughts
into the back seat
trying to give my heart
a reason to beat
[chorus]
I’ll settle for (settle for) second best
if it means hurting one (hurting one) second less
I’ll be your… second best
[verse]
I know I am better
than a back-up plan
and it hurts to know
you’d rather be her man
I know one day
I’ll walk away
when it’s not worth
all this hurt
[pre-chorus]
Now I’m full speed ahead
down this one-way street
pushing all second thoughts
into the back seat
trying to give my heart
a reason to beat
[chorus]
I’ll settle for (settle for) second best
if it means hurting one (hurting one) second less
I’ll be your…
[bridge]
your loving is second hand
but I’m no victim of circumstance
you’re not my second chance
I’d be gone with no second glance
[chorus]
I settle for (settle for) second best
‘cause it means hurting one (hurting one) second less
I settle for (settle for) second best
‘cause it means hurting one (hurting one) second less
you are my… second best

Mr. Mixed Signals
04:03
|

[verse]
Riding down the highway
heading straight for fun
you’re sexy in the driver’s seat
and we’ve only just begun
we got a clear horizon
turn on cruise control
but then you’re jamming on the brakes
and kinda being an asshole
[pre-chorus]
I’m so confused
my ego is bruised
but I just can’t refuse…
[chorus]
you’re Mr Mixed Signals
can’t make up your mind
won’t follow the signs
Mr Mixed Signals
all warnings apply
don’t know where you’re taking me
but I’m along for the ride
[verse]
you’re driving in the turning lane
but going straight ahead
pumping on the gas
but the light is red
your blinker’s blinking right
but then you go left
you’re heading for the exit ramp
but we’re not there yet
[pre-chorus]
I’m so confused
my ego is bruised
but I just can’t refuse …
[chorus]
you’re Mr Mixed Signals
can’t make up your mind
won’t follow the signs
Mr Mixed Signals
all warnings apply
don’t know where you’re taking me
[bridge]
I was so sure of where I was going
but you’re making me yield
I ain’t no backseat driver baby
shhh my lips are sealed
[pre-chorus]
I’m so confused
my ego is bruised
and I just can’t refuse …
[chorus]
you’re Mr Mixed Signals
can’t make up your mind
won’t follow the signs
Mr Mixed Signals
all warnings apply
don’t know where you’re taking me
but I’m along for the ride

6068 Days

[verse]
Been loving you
for so long
don’t know how to stop
now that you’re gone
Spent so many years
singing your song
now no melody
can help me move on
[pre-chorus]
my clock ticked for you
now time is the enemy
my heart beats for you
now it breaks every day
[chorus]
6068 days
each one had me amazed
could’ve found a million more ways
to love you
[verse]
how many suns
have to rise
till I stop seeing
your face when I close my eyes
how many seasons
have to change
till I stop waiting
for you to call my name
[pre-chorus]
my clock ticked for you
now time is the enemy
my heart beats for you
now it breaks every day
[chorus]
6068 days
each one had me amazed
could’ve found a million more ways
to love you
[bridge]
the minutes melt into years
but they’ll never dry all my tears
I won’t stop loving you my dear
but all we got was
[chorus]
6068 days
each one had me amazed
could’ve found a million more ways
to love you
(repeat)
