A Stranger To Me Now

Verse 1
You always win 1st place
Everyone likes you
You wear better clothing and you're beautiful
You're starting over with a new slate
You do on dates, sometimes you arrive late
The last time I saw you, you were just like me
We were plain and lonely

Verse 2
You were my best friend and I was yours
We went through everything in life together
Now you ignore me as if I'm invisible
Is it done due to peer pressure or your own will
The last time I saw you, you were just like me
We were quiet and sad

Bridge
Once again, I'm all alone and it's not by choice
Where is the person I felt closest to?

Chorus 1
You're a stranger to me now
I don't even know who you are anymore
Are you portraying an image
Or is it really you?
Either way, you have changed
We're no longer the same

Chorus 2
You're a stranger to me now
I don't even know who you are anymore
Are you portraying an image
Or is it really you?
We're no longer the same

Stranded

Verse 1
Can't you see me?
I've tried to get your attention by giving signals
Can you hear me now?
I know that you aren't deaf
So what's going on?
How much longer will it take to get a response?

Verse 2
Days are too warm
And nights are very cold
Sometimes I think I'll never leave
That is what I fear the most
Get me out of this nightmare
I'm begging on my knees

Bridge
I don't know where I am
I'm all alone
Should I turn left
Or should I turn right
Someone guide me home
I need to get back
I'm really scared now
I do not want to wait anymore
I thought someone would be running to my aid
I keep hoping that I will be saved someday

Chorus
I am stranded
I really need help
I'm calling out to anyone for assistance
If you're listening to my voice, please respond
Show me a way out of this place

Runaway Soul

Runaway soul, tell me where do you go
Whenever you leave this place?
Is it sunnier there?
Is it quieter there?
Is it more peaceful wherever you are?
Runaway soul, tell me what do you do
Whenever you are all alone?

Runaway soul, runaway soul

Runaway soul, tell me where do you go
Whenever you leave this place?
Is it sunnier there?
Is it quieter there?
Is it more peaceful wherever you are?
Runaway soul, tell me what do you do
Whenever you are all alone?

Runaway soul, runaway soul
Runaway soul, runaway soul

Runaway soul, runaway soul

Runaway soul, do you travel far away
Or are you always nearby?
You vanish, then reappear
And I'm just wondering why

Runaway soul, runaway soul

Are you real or are you just an illusion?
Am I dreaming or am I awake?
Tell me the truth
That's all I want to know

I Was Interrupted

Verse 1
I walked into the room
As I did almost every day
Expecting to try my best
The man said a lady wanted to speak with me
So I followed him
I turned around and I looked at him
Not knowing it was for the last time

Verse 2
She said "Have a seat"
So I sat down, then the director walked in
I was told I was no longer needed
The director gave no reason why
The other lady never looked at me
Until the whole thing ended

Bridge
I came up with a plan
Now it has to be revised
I clearly didn't expect to get
What I got in the end
I was interrupted

Chorus 1
A friend asked if everything was alright
I responded with "Everything's okay"
I didn't know what was in store for me
I was denied what I deserved
It's like she knew something was wrong
How weird is that?

Chorus 2
A friend asked if everything was alright
I responded with " Everything's okay"
It's like she knew something was wrong
How weird is that?
I didn't know what was in store for me
I was denied what I deserved
It's like she knew something was wrong
How weird is that?

Chorus 3
I was interrupted (2x)

Summerland

Verse 1
We've got a lot of time on our hands
Sometimes we become restless
We're young, so let's do what we can now
Before we can't do it anymore
This cold weather is getting to me
It brings me down as I slip to the ground
You pull me up and the look in your eyes
Says you feel the same way I do
We're longing for warmth
Cold leaves us in pain
And it's time we do something about it
Harsh winds and mountains of snow will not get in our way

Verse 2
Everything about summerland is perfect
The breeze, the sunshine and, of course, the warm weather
Once you're there, you always want to stay forever
That comes as no surprise because the place is wonderful
The days are so long
We can have a picnic by the lake
Or spend our time on the beach building sand castles

Bridge
If we go now, we can get there before sunset
We will watch the sky change colours
And wish upon the stars

Chorus
We're going to summerland
Every day is like the month of June
It's sunny and relaxing

Coming Through

Verse 1
I'm coming through
So give me some room
I don't want anything to get in my way
Interruptions are what I don't like
Moments spent overcoming them
Can be frustrating
I see others sitting, chatting
And watching the world go by
I used to be just like them

Verse 2
I'm coming through
Please move to the side
If you're only going to get in my way
If I stop moving, I'll be wasting time
And I can't afford to do that
It'll take me longer to get to where I'm going
I always have to get there now

Verse 3
I'm coming through
So give me some room
I don't want anything to get in my way
Obstacles are what I don't like
Moments spent preventing them is time consuming
I see others sitting, chatting
And watching the world go by
I don't want to be like them

Chorus
I'm coming through
I can't slow myself down
I am always in a rush
I don't want to be far behind from anything
I feel like I'm the only one who's this way

In Her Shoes

Verse 1
This girl is depressed, her feeling are repressed
No one even knows
She's always alone, no place to go
By now she is use to it
I want to know who she is
I want a first-hand experience

Verse 2
This girl lies to herself, dislikes herself
I'm the only one who knows
She hurts herself, wants to kill herself
I hope I can talk her out of it
I want to discover who she really is
I want to see beyond the image she portrays

Bridge
Where these shoes take me, I really don't know
But that doesn't scare me
I just want to figure out
Why she's different from me
I feel connected to her
And I can't ignore it anymore

Chorus
I will be living in her shoes
Enduring her pain, feeling her sadness
Becoming as fragile as her
I'm not expecting anything to be simple
Whatever she goes through, I'll go through it too

I Care 4 U

Verse 1

From the morning to the night

By your side is where I'll always be

Every day you make me a better man

All my life

The Impossible Child

Verse 1
Will you stop screaming?
Will you ever be mature?
One of these days you will have to grow up

Verse 2
You want attention every waking minute
You're no longer a baby
So stop acting like one

Verse 3
You want everything to always go your way
And when it doesn't, you start to cry
You don't like to listen to other people
But when you talk, you demand respect
When you don't get it, your voice gets louder
And you won't stop until you're satisfied
Why do you have to be so impossible?
Why do you have to be a burden?
Your behaviour is rude, but you don't care
You think that everything is a joke

Verse 4
You want everything to always go your way
And when it doesn't, you start to cry
You don't like to listen to other people
But when you talk, you demand respect
When you don't get it, your voice gets louder
You start to frown and throw toys on the floor
Why do you have to be so impossible?
Why do you have to be a burden?
Be helpful and generous
Be responsible and respectful

Chorus
You can't be like this forever
You're not the only one who is clever
It's better that you know this now than never

Turn The Radio Off

Verse 1
Millions worldwide own radios
Some bought, won and stolen
But the method of acquiring it is unimportant
The quality of what one hears should get more attention
Because frankly, it sucks
This is a call to everyone
Who love music very deeply
If you're passionate about it
Just can't live without it
It's up to us to guarantee radio has a future
And that music continues to live on

Verse 2
On music stations, there's too much talk
On talk radio, there's senseless talk
The popularity aspect of it is at force
The majority seems to always win
While the thoughts and opinions of the minority are ignored

Bridge
Radio isn't fully worthy of high listener-ship
It's proven every time a pathetic song is played
It's proven every time talk radio becomes more mainstream
I'm completely frustrated with the business of it

Chorus
Turn the radio off, it's full of crap
You're wasting your time by listening to it
I don't know why so many turn it on
They should pawn it or smash it to bits
Because the quality is unsatisfactory

Outro
Turn the radio off, it's full of crap
