LYRICS:
Turning the ripe old age of 29
Saturn returned to get my life aligned
I’ve done a lot but somehow I feel left behind
Coz all I hear is pressuring
Are you gonna have babies?
Hurry up and find the one!
Yeah you better get saving?
Time to grow up and move on!
Coz soon you’ll be 30-something
The clock is loud, its thumping
It’s driving me crazy
It’s causing me to fall into a
Quarter Life Crisis
Gonna spend my time
Learning why am I like this?
Quit my job and I’ll
Travel the globe
I will eat pray love til it goes
Quarter life crises
Gonna lose myself
Just so I can find me and I’ll
Write it down and share as a quote
Yeah I will eat pray love til it goes
I know I’m young still but it gets me down
Anxiety now hangs over my crown
Compare myself to everyone around
Coz all I feel is pressurin
What have you accomplished?
Have you just been wasting time?
Didn’t make that short list
Under 30, no headlines
Closing on so outdated
I don’t feel regulated
I gotta do something
Guess Ill just surrender to a..
Quarter Life Crisis
Gonna spend my time
Learning why am I like this?
Quit my job and I’ll
Travel the globe
I will eat pray love til it goes
Quarter life crises
Gonna lose myself
Just so I can find me and I’ll
Write it down and share as a quote
Yeah I will eat pray love til it goes
Quarter Life Crisis
Quarter Life Crisis
Quarter Life Crisis
Quarter Life Crisis
Quarter Life Crisis
Gonna spend my time
Learning why am I like this?
Quit my job and I’ll
Travel the globe
I will eat pray love til it goes
Quarter life crises
Gonna lose myself
Just so I can find me and I’ll
Write it down and share as a quote
Yeah I will eat pray love til it goes
Yeah I will eat pray love til it goes

LYRICS:
I turned up lost angeles
I came here broken on my knees
Come at me, try do your worst to me
I’m driving sunset after dark
A ghost town of ‘never made their mark’
I feel them, they’re apart of me
And I’m all gassed up
with what it could be
When you got nothing to lose
you’re nothing but free
I got a heart that’s broke
that’s ready just to receive
I know you’ll catch me
California
I’m ready for her
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I feel you’re got me
California
With you I’ll go far
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I surrender, Los Angeles
I found myself lost in the hills
Whilst looking for a cheaper thrill
And asking god please send me a sign
She told me turn the car around
Stop moving so I can be found
Is it my turn soon am I next in the line?
Coz I got a one way ticket to
“fuck it let’s see”
Imma hold out hope
I am looking for greener
sides of the street
I know they’re out there for me
I know you’ll catch me
California
I’m ready for her
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I feel you’re got me
California
With you I’ll go far
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I surrender, Los Angeles
I got the water on my side
And the mountains watching me
way up high
California, california
and I’m all gassed up
with what it could be
when you got nothing to lose
you’re nothing but free
gotta hold out hope there’s something out there for me
And I know you’ll catch me
California
I’m ready for her
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I feel you’re got me
California
With you I’ll go far
Yeah I’m handing you over the keys
I surrender, Los Angeles

LYRICS:
I hear it everywhere
Heavy whispers in the air
Tried to shut it out
But I can’t drown it out
Your key turns in the door
Guilty footsteps on the floor
Are you ready?
I hope you’re ready!
Now don’t you lie to me
Yeah It’s the least you can do
Now don’t you lie to me
Like I would believe you
Don’t you lie to me
now Don’t you lie to me
Don’t you lie to me
You got something to tell me
Didn’t mean to hurt me, Shame
Don’t look me in the eye and say
She didn’t mean a thing
After running round
You think you’re coming home?
Well shame!
This little indiscretions gone and
cost you everything
And it’s a crying shame
If we turned the table ‘round
And it was me who let you down
Could you forget it?
I didn’t think so
I told you from the start
That I wouldn’t play the part
Did you forget it?
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
don’t come crying to me
Yeah it’s the least you can do
So don’t come crying to me
My heart won’t break for you
So don’t come cryin to me
now don’t come cryin to me
So don’t come cryin to me
You got something to tell me
Didn’t mean to hurt me, Shame
Don’t look me in the eye and say
She didn’t mean a thing
After running round
You think you’re coming home?
Well shame!
This little indiscretions gone and
cost you everything
And it’s a crying shame
There’s really nothing left to say
There’s really nothing left to say
So turn and walk away
There’s really nothing left to say
The nerve to tell me
Didn’t mean to hurt me, shame!
To look me in the eye and say
She didn’t mean a thing
After running round
You’re never coming home!
Well shame!
This little indiscretions gone and
cost you everything
Well what a crying shame

LYRICS:
Keep looking at my horoscope
Searching for a sign
Hoping it will say just go
The stars are on your side
It would be easier
If it was black and white
But everything is fine
So I keep hoping that the feeling goes
If I just give it time
What if I’m the kind of human
Who holds the ground beneath their feet and
What if I don’t need a reason
To give up settling
What if I’m terrified
but this unknown is what I’m needing
What if I wanna try
To be that kind of human
I see that I have sacrificed
Made myself so small
And I don’t wanna have to fight
Not to be wasted potential
And it would be easier
If I just kept quiet
Numb and compliant
But something tells me I’ll be happier
Stepping out of line
What if I’m the kind of human
Who holds the ground beneath their feet and
What if I don’t need a reason
To give up settling
What if I’m terrified
But this unknown is what I’m needing
What if I wanna try
To be that kind of human
To be that kind of human
To be that kind of human
I trust my intuition
Bring it into fruition
Watch me I’m on a mission
Show me what I’ve been missing
Becoming my own saviour
I’m giving my own favours
What If I wanna try
What if I’m the kind of human
Who holds the ground beneath their feet and
What if I don’t need a reason
To give up settling
What if I’m terrified
But this unknown is what I’m needing
What if I wanna try
To be that kind of human

LYRICS:Tiny specks of light
Out the corner of my eyes
They’re guiding me to
Guiding me through
Giving me my sight
Things I couldn’t see
They’re holding me through
Holding me, calling me
So I’m following
Taking my sins with me
I’m diving in
Surrendering
To what it needs to teach me
For the first time I am seeing my future
Somehow I had lost it when I was with ya
It’s clear to me I’ve got to focus on what’s in my heart
And keeping it open
Keeping it hoping
Keeping going strong
The medicine it flows
To every part unknown
It’s shining a light
So I can make it right
Out there is where I lose
Sight of what I need
I have to look inside
And open up my mind and just
Keep following, letting it go
Surrender
Calling it in
Letting it flow
It’s helping me remember
For the first time I am seeing my future
Somehow I had lost it when I was with ya
It’s clear to me I’ve got to focus on what’s in my heart
And keeping it open
Keeping it hoping
Keeping going strong
Opening I am
Surrendering I am
Letting in in
Whatever it needs to teach me
Letting go
handing over control
I am moving in free flow
Opening I am
Surrendering I am
Letting in in
Whatever it needs to teach me
Letting go
handing over control
I am moving in free flow
So for the first time I am seeing my future
Somehow I had lost it when I was with ya
It’s clear to me I’ve got to focus on what’s in my heart
And keeping it open
Keeping it hoping
Keeping going strong

LYRICS:
Don’t scream I can hear you
Don’t need another read through
You have a tendency to step over the line
It’s come to blows cutting close too many times
Don’t reach for the last time
That we compromise
I don’t understand why I keep falling your way
Should of shut this down from the very first day
I’ve been losing sleep again
I feel somethings out of place
You’re there tryna pass the blame
I’ve been losing sleep again
Fighting wanna shake the shame
You’re still tryna pass the blame
But you can’t fool me now coz
Look what you’ve done
Feeling like a victim of a hit and run
I said look what you’ve done
Got me tangled up in all the words that you’ve spun
Don’t claim worthy
You’re not sorry
You’ve got blood on your hands
So look what you’ve done
Don’t keep to the front line
Dispose of your land mines
If you’re gonna meet me out in no man’s land
You’ve gotta come waving a white flag in your hand
I’ve been losing sleep again
I feel somethings out of place
You’re there tryna pass the blame
I’ve been losing sleep again
Fighting wanna shake the shame
You’re still tryna pass the blame
But you can’t fool me now coz
Look what you’ve done
Feeling like a victim of a hit and run
I said look what you’ve done
Got me tangled up in all the words that you’ve spun
Don’t claim worthy
You’re not sorry
You’ve got blood on your hands
So look what you’ve done
Look what you’ve done
You can’t fool me
Look what you’ve done
Feeling like a victim of a hit and run
I said look what you’ve done
Got me tangled up in all the words that you’ve spun
Don’t claim worthy
You’re not sorry
You’ve got blood on your hands
So look what you’ve done

LYRICS:
Not alone with these demons got that shame that you know just ain’t leaving
and you see that I am new to this feeling. I’m to blame.
It was late in the evening and I know that we both had been drinking
but I know that there is just no excusin’. There’s a flame.
But if we can call it love does it make us bad?
If it’s in the name of love does it make us bad?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
Going over my reasons but the worrying just keeps on deepening
The choices that we made keep haunting. Think about him!
Can’t excuse our behaviour you know that we weren’t thinking about her
but to get it all back to an order, nobody wins!
But if we can call it love does it make us bad?
If it’s in the name of love does it make us bad?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
So with love comes mistakes yeah
And with mistakes there is hate
Ooooh it may be hard to take
That with love comes hate
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?
What happened to the good people? Good Good people?

LYRICS:
I’ve been waiting on the outside looking in
I’ve been hoping to find a window
But then you call me
Come get me
You’ll take me away
You say follow
You’ve got me
From the darkness and grey
Hold me closer and feel my heart beating
Take this closure you’ve found what you’re seeking
Take a moment to savour this feeling
Now forever
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
I am grateful that I followed the signs
Every moment led me to you on this night
You heard me calling
I need you
Come take me away
I was hollow
And searching
But you heard me pray
Hold me closer and feel my heart beating
Take this closure you’ve found what you’re seeking
Take a moment to savour this feeling
Now forever
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
I’m ready to fall
As hard as I get to
Open to it all
Yeah take me there
Take me there
Take me
I’m ready to fall
As hard as I get to
Open to it all
Yeah take me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there
You and me we’re healing
Hold me closer and feel my heart beating
Take this closure you’ve found what you’re seeking
Take a moment to savour this feeling
Now forever
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing
You and me we’re healing

LYRICS:
In the end nobody won
There’s nothing but losers
Here in the end
Coz now we’re back at the start
With all of our lessons
Didn’t think you’d be here again
Did you think that I would just lay down my sword?
Did you think that I was just tired and bored?
You always underestimated what I was worth
You always underestimated what I deserved
So I made sure you heard me
Yeah you hear me now
In the end nobody won
Cept maybe my virtue
I held on so strong
And now there’s still things unsaid
It’s a beast of a burdon
But I won’t regret a thing
Seems like you just thought I would lay down my sword
And maybe you just thought I would die if I cut your chord
But you always underestimated what I was worth
You always underestimated what I deserved
So I made sure you heard me
Yeah you hear me now
Yeah you hear me now
You always underestimated what I was worth
Always underestimated what I deserved
So I made sure you heard me
Yeah you hear me now
Yeah you hear me
yeah yeah you hear me
Yeah you hear me
yeah yeah you hear me
Yeah you hear me
yeah yeah you hear me
Yeah you hear me
yeah yeah you hear me
Yeah you hear me now
