I’m tired of running. I can’t keep up, you move so fast, and yet you stand so still in the shadows. Now I move in parallel, but it can’t end like this. Tell me all the things that I should know before I die. Gently lay me down on sacred ground beneath the sky. Oh, my heart is open/ Oh, I feel momentum Oh, I’ll cross this ocean/ Oh, just help me understand I’m tired of running. I don’t believe in all the lies we use to hide our fears. I am ready to understand what you reveal and what I just can’t see. Tell me all the things that I should know before I die. Gently lay me down on sacred ground beneath the sky. Oh, my heart is open/ Oh, I feel momentum Oh, I’ll cross this ocean/ Oh, just help me understand

We drifted out as we were racing Past these mistakes that we keep making. I tried to learn how to be kinder, I never thought I could be stronger. Somewhere far and into the deep end, We lost sight of higher dimension. Do you remember how far we’d go? We were determined not to let go, To forgive ourselves for all that we couldn’t save, promising each other we wouldn’t change. Maybe all we need are mountains To separate the big blue oceans, Cause they teach us to be kinder Right before we reach the shore. Somewhere far and into the deep end, We lost sight of higher dimension. Do you remember how far we’d go? We were determined not to let go, To forgive ourselves for all that we couldn’t save, promising each other one day we’ll change. Somewhere far and into the deep end, I saw light in what could’ve been. We tried, but life just wouldn’t bend, And you showed me just how to let it be.

Addiction 03:22
This love that surrounds us is sad thin and reckless, As we battle our demons and run out of reasons. We bargain for time without conviction just long enough to find A sad thin and reckless Addiction. Here we are in lockdown, charged and confined. If you try to prove my innocence, I won’t pay you back in kind. If you choose to walk away, I’ll take it as a sign. One of us was stronger so that we could both survive, So let’s settle for distraction just to settle our minds. At the end of every day, I’ll silently resign. This love that surrounds us is sad thin and reckless, As we battle our demons and run out of reasons. We bargain for time without conviction just long enough to find A sad thin and reckless Addiction.

Alb Maskoon 03:15
كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني؟ دقات قلبي بتوديني لوين ما تكون كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني وين ما تكون؟ كل دقة صارت رقصة خطواتها بتحرك قلب مسكون رقاص الساعة إيقاع مفتون، كأنه رواية بدون نهاية، في قلب مسكون مهما تتأمل تنساني صدى صوتي بيضله يعيد وإنت بعيد كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني وين ما تكون؟ كل دقة صارت رقصة خطواتها بتحرك قلب مسكون رقاص الساعة إيقاع مفتون، كأنه رواية بدون نهاية، في قلب مسكون

Code 03:25
I’d be lying if I said I knew what to expect with no regret. It’s just the way things are left unsaid. I keep finding clues, they all lead me to you, Cause you only know how to talk in code. I never thought you’d keep me coming back for more, I never thought you’d keep me guessing what you came here for. I keep trying to decipher your encrypted heart and the way you love. You play it safe when you’re scared to trust. I keep finding clues, they all lead me to you, Cause you only know how to talk in code. I never thought you’d keep me coming back for more, I never thought you’d keep me guessing what you came here for. No matter what I do, leads me back to you. I am trying my best to get over this mess But we can’t resist a feeling like this. I never thought you’d keep me coming back for more, I never thought you’d keep me guessing what you came here for. I never thought you’d keep me coming back for more, I never thought you’d keep me guessing what you came here for.

Nasi 03:44
ناسي كيف كنا عايشين بزمن حنون ناسي ريحة الياسمين، بترسم بسمة عالغيوم ضاع الوقت، وفرصتنا نتغير بلحظتها همسة شك، فكرناها بتعدى هداك كان يوم، وهدا يوم ناسي كيف كنا عايشين بزمن حنون ناسي ريحة الياسمين، بترسم بسمة عالغيوم مافينا نستنى ونتغنى باللي راح بغمضة عين كل شي صار بينتسى هداك كان يوم، وهدا يوم عم بستنى مستقبل جديد، الطريق طويل بس حياتنا تاريخ بعيد، والعمر سريع

Brand New 03:48
You are the sunset I am the sky You steal my colors to be the moon to my night I catch my breath when You lean in, past All the lessons learned and all reasoning Like small town eyes Big city lights I move back in time and I miss All the signs that lead me back to you. This love feels so brand new. Dance me to where it all stands still Anticipation, reel me in I’ve got a box to put this all in But memories fade when You live them again Like small town eyes Big city lights I move back in time and I miss All the signs that lead me back to you. This love feels so brand new

Next Sunrise 04:13
I’ll show you how to stop time and make it feel like the whole world was on your side. Live your nights just like the next sunrise is a surprise every time If I could learn how to hold Time in my hands, and take control, I would show you how to suspend this lie Long enough to reveal what’s real So don’t waste any more time Find your peace of mind and use your will. Let it slow you down just enough to feel all the pain that will let you heal. I’ll show you How to stop time And make it feel like The whole world was on your side Live your nights just like the next sunrise Is a surprise every time There’s nothing that you can’t Will into motion, just keep your heart open. Try not to hold back all your emotion Cause we all are broken. You know how quickly this life Speeds up with time, year by year So hold on to the things that make you feel Young enough to forget you’re here I’ll show you How to stop time And make it feel like The whole world was on your side Live your nights just like the next sunrise Is a surprise every time I'll show you I'll show you

You haven’t said all you wanted to say You left it all and drove away Light up your brain, and trace All of the pathways inside your head Tell yourself it will all get better With dreams and lovers and hidden letters Morning comes and you try to measure The rising suns you’ve been chasing after Does it fade when you hold it in After all this time tell me where you’ve been Light up your brain, and trace All of the pathways inside your head Tell yourself it will all get better With dreams and lovers and hidden letters Morning comes and you try to measure The rising suns you’ve been chasing after Watch them transform just to Mirror the highways that keep you sane Tell yourself it will all get better

Bigger Heart 03:22
I’m not a thief I just borrow time I’ll give it back when I am done When the moon leaves the skies at night I keep hoping for the sun Say you’ll wait Patiently When I get the urge to run I need a bigger heart to hold All this Love I feel for you Rivers take So long to change just like Your shape inside my veins So I will try To rearrange this weight inside Til I can find just enough space To carry you By the waterline With all the love my heart contains. I need a bigger heart to hold All this Love I feel for you Stories are Meant to end Exactly where they first begun I need a bigger heart to hold All this Love I feel for you

Spin 03:29
We won’t stop now We don’t know how but we tried Spin, darling spin Changing things where life begins Twirl around my world Dance on its curves Forget you’re hurt You pulled me in You took everything And I’m tired Spin, darling spin Changing things where life begins Twirl around my world Dance on its curves Forget you’re hurt
