DaydreamerSitting on the seaSoaking up the sunHe is a real loverOf making up the pastAnd feeling up his girlLike he’s never felt her figure before
A Jaw dropperLooks good when he walksIs the subject of their talkHe would be hard to chaseBut good to catchAnd he could change the worldWith his hands behind his back
You can find himSitting on your doorstepWaiting for the surpriseAnd he will feel likeHe’s been there for hoursAnd you can tell that he’ll be there for life
DaydreamerWith eyes that make you meltHe lends his coat for shelterPlus he’s there for youWhen he shouldn’t beBut he stays all the sameWaits for youThen see’s you through
There’s no way I could describe himWhat I’ve said is just what I’m hoping for
But I will find himSitting on my doorstepWaiting for a surpriseAnd he will feel likeHe’s been there for hoursAnd I can tell that he’ll be there for lifeAnd I can tell that he’ll be there for life

Wait do you see my heart on my sleeve?It’s been there for days on endAnd it’s been waiting for youTo open up your too babyCome on nowI’m trying to tell you just howI’d like to hear the words Roll out of you’re mouth finallySay that it’s always been me
That’s made you feel a way you’ve never felt beforeAnd I’m all you need and that you’d never want moreThen you’d say all of the right things without a clueBut you’d save the best for last like I’m the one for you
You should know that you’re just a temporary fixThis is not rooted with youIt don’t mean that much to meYou’re just a filler in the spaceThat happened to be freeHow dare you think you’d get awayWith trying to play me
Why is it everytime I think I’veTried my hardest it turns out it ain’t enough?You’re still not mentioning loveWell what am I supposed to do?To make you want me properlyI’m taking these chances and getting nowhereAnd though I’m trying my hardestYou go back to herAnd I think that I know things may never changeBut I’m still hoping one day I might hear you say
I make you feel a way you’ve never felt beforeAnd I’m all you need and that you’d never want moreThen you’d say all of the right things without a clueBut you’d save the best for last like I’m the one for you
You should know that you’re just a temporary fixThis is not rooted with youIt don’t mean that much to meYou’re just a filler in the spaceThat happened to be freeHow dare you think you’d get awayWith trying to play me
But despite the truth that I knowI find it hard to let go And give up on youSeems I love the things you doLike the meaner you treat meMore eager I amTo persist with this heartbreakOf running aroundAnd I will do until I find myself with you
And make you feel a way you’ve never felt beforeAnd be all you need so that you’ll never want moreThen you’d say all of the right things without a clueAnd you’ll be the one for me and me the one for you

I’ve made up my mindDon’t need to think it overIf I’m wrong I am rightDon’t need to look no furtherThis ain’t lust I know this is loveBut if I tell the worldI’ll never say enoughCause it was not said to youAnd that’s exactly what I need to doIf I end up with you
Should I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsEven if it leads nowhereOr would it be a wasteEven if I knew my placeShould I leave it thereShould I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsEven if it leads nowhere
I build myself upAnd fly around in circlesWaiting as my heart dropsAnd my back begins to tingleFinally could this be it or
Should I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsEven if it leads nowhereOr would it be a wasteEven if I knew my placeShould I leave it thereShould I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsShould I just keep chasing pavements
Or Should I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsEven if it leads nowhereOr would it be a wasteEven if I knew my placeShould I leave it thereShould I give up?Or should I just keep chasing pavementsEven if it leads nowhere

You say it’s all in my headAnd the things I thinkJust don’t make senseSo where you been then?Don’t go all coyDon’t turn it round on meLike it’s my fault
See I can see that look in your eyesThe one that shoots me each and everytime
You grace me with your cold shoulderWhenever you look at me and wish I was herYou shower me with words made of knivesWhenever you look at me and wish I was her
These days when I see youYou make it look like I’m see throughDo tell me why you waste our timeWhen your heart ain’t in it and your not satisfied
You know I know just how you feelI’m starting to find myself feeling that way too when
You grace me with your cold shoulderWhenever you look at me and wish I was herYou shower me with words made of knivesWhenever you look at me and wish I was her
Time and time again I play the role of fool Just for youAnd even in the daylight when your gaming I don’t see throughI try to look for thing I hearbut my eyes never find
You grace me with your cold shoulderWhenever you look at me and wish I was herYou shower me with words made of knivesWhenever you look at me and wish I was her

I found myself todaySinging out loud your nameYou said I’m crazyIf I am I’m crazy for you
Sometimes sitting in the darkwishing you were hereTurns me crazyBut it’s you who makes me loose my head
And everytime I’m meant to beActing sensibleYou drift into my headAnd turn me into a crumbling fool
Tell me to run and I’ll raceIf you want me to stop I’ll freezeAnd if you want me gone I’ll leaveJust hold me closer baby
And make meCrazy for youCrazy for you
Lately with this state I’m inI can’t help myself but spinI wish you’d come overSend me spinning closer to you
My oh my how my blood boilsIts sweetest for youIt strips me down bareAnd get’s me into my favourite mood
I keep on trying I’m fightingThese feelings awayBut the more I doThe crazier I turn into
Pacing floors and opening doorsHoping you’ll walk throughAnd save me boyBecause I’m too
Crazy for youCrazy for you

Right under my feet is air made of bricksThat pulls me down and turns me weak for youI find myself repeating like a broken tuneAnd I’m forever excusing your intentionsThen I give in to my pretendingsWhich forgive you each timeWithout me knowing they melt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made upYou say my name like there could be an usI best tidy up my head I’m the only oneIn love, I’m the only one in love
Each and everytime I’ve turned round to leaveI feel my heart begin to burst and bleedSo desperately I try to link it with my headBut instead I fall back to my kneesAs you tear your way right through meI forgive you once againWithout me knowing you’ve burnt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made upYou say my name like there could be an usI best tidy up my head I’m the only oneIn love, I’m the only one in love
Why do you steal my hand?Whenever I’m standing my own groundYou build me up then leave me there
Where I hear your words you made up I say your name like there should be an usI best tidy up my head I’m the only oneIn love, I’m the only one in love

So little to say but so much timeDespite my empty mouthThe words are in my mindPlease wear the faceThe one where you smileBecause it’ll lighten up my heartWhen I start to cryForgive me first loveBut I’m tiredI need to get awayTo feel againTry to understand whyDon’t get so close to change my mindPlease wipe that look out of your eyesIt’s bribing me to doubt myselfSimply it’s timeThis love has dried upAnd stayed behindAnd if I stay I’ll be a lieThen choke on words I’d always hideExcuse me first loveBut we’re throughI need to taste a kiss from someone newForgive me first love but I’m too tiredI’m bored to say the leastAnd I lack desireForgive me first love

Who wants to be right as rainIt’s better when something is wrongYou get excitement in your bonesAnd everything you do’s a gameWhen night comes and your on your ownYou can say I chose to be aloneWho want to be right as rainIt’s harder when your on top
Cause when hard work don’t pay offAnd I’m tired there ain’t no room in my bedAs far as I’m concernedSo wipe that dirty smile off We won’t be making upI’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love
Who wants to be riding highWhen you’ll just crumble back on downYou give up everything you areAnd even then you don’t get farThey make believe that everythingIs exactly what it seemsBut at least when your at your worstYou know how to feel things
See when hard work don’t pay offAnd I’m tired there ain’t no room in my bedAs far as I’m concernedSo wipe that dirty smile off We won’t be making upI’ve cried my heart outAnd now I’ve had enough of love
Go ahead and steal my heart To make me cry againCause it will never hurtAs much as it did thenWhen we were both rightAnd no one had blameBut now I give upOn this endless game
Cause who wants to be right as rainIt’s better when something is wrongI get excitement in my bonesEven though everything’s a strainWhen night comes and I’m on my ownYou should know I chose to be aloneSo who want to be right as rainIt’s harder when your on top
Cause when hard work don’t pay offAnd I’m tired there ain’t no room in my bedAs far as I’m concernedSo wipe that dirty smile off We won’t be making upI’ve cried my heart outAnd now I’ve had enough of love

When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your caseI could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love
When the evening shatters and the stars appearAnd there is no one there to dry your tearsI could hold you for a million yearsTo make you feel my love
I know you haven’t made your mind up yetBut I would never do you wrongI’ve known it from the moment that we metNo doubt in my mind where you belong
I’d go hungry I’d go black and blueI’d go crawling down the avenueKnow there’s nothing that I wouldn’t doTo make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling seaAnd on the highway of regretThe winds of change are blowing wild and freeYou ain’t seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come trueNothing that I wouldn’t doGo to the ends of the earth for youTo make you feel my loveTo make you feel my love

You say I’m stubborn and I never give inI think you’re stubborn ‘cept your always softeningYou say I’m selfish I agree with you on thatI think you’re giving I think way too much in factI say we’ve only known each other one yearYou say pfft I’ve known you longer my dearYou like to be so close I like to be alone I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floorWalking with each other think we’d never match at all
But we do
I thought I knew myself somehow you know me moreI’ve never known this never beforeYour the first to make up whenever we argueI don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know youYou’re so provocative I’m so conservativeYou’re so adventurous I’m so very cautiousCombining you’d think we wouldn’t
But we do
Aye Aye Aye Aye
Favouritism ain’t my thingBut in this situation I’d be gladFavouritism ain’t my thingBut I’d be glad to make an exception
You say I’m stubborn and I never give inI think you’re stubborn ‘cept your always softeningYou say I’m selfish I agree with you on thatI think you’re giving I think way too much in factI say we’ve only known each other one yearYou say pfft I’ve known you longer my dearYou like to be so close I like to be alone I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floorWalking with each other think we’d never match at allBut we do

Hold my hand while you cut me downIt had only just begun but now its over nowAnd your in the heat of moments With your heart playing up coldI’m between the middle watching hastiness unfoldOn my eyes you were smiling in the spotlightDancing with the night when I fell off your mind
I’m tired of trying your teasing ain’t enoughFed up of buying your timeWhen I don’t get nothing back
And for what? When I don’t get nothing backOi I’m tired
Where d’you go when you stayed behind?I looked up and inside down and outside Only to find a double taking punching heartacheLaughing at my smile I get closer and you obviously prefer her
I’m tired of trying your teasing ain’t enoughFed up of buying your timeWhen I don’t get nothing backAnd for what? When I don’t get nothing backOi I’m tired
I should have known
Nevermind said your open armsI couldn’t help the leapthat tripped me back into themEven though
I’m tired of trying your teasing ain’t enoughFed up of buying your time When I don’t get nothing backAnd for what? When I don’t get nothing backOi I’m tired

I’ve been walking in the same way as I didMissing out the cracks in the pavementAnd tutting my heel and strutting my feetIs there anything I can do for you dear?Is there anyone I could call?No and thank you please madameI ain’t lost just wandering
Round my hometownMemories are freshRound my hometownOh the people I’ve metAre the wonders of my worldAre the wonders of my worldAre the wonders of this worldAre the wonders now
I like it in the cityWhen the air is so thick and opaqueI love to see everybody in short skirtsshorts and shadesI like it in the city when two worlds collideYou get the people and the governmentEverybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shitShows that we are unitedShows that we ain’t gonna take itShows that we ain’t gonna stand shitShows that we are united
Round my hometownMemories are freshRound my hometownOh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my worldAre the wonders of my worldAre the wonder of this worldAre the wonders of my world
