With a spinning head I lie and watch you smoke. Chase the hands on my watch and hold you close This misery is weightless as a stone. Have you lost the same things I have lost? Do you know that panic I know? Would I see the terror in your face? Do you know that fever I know? Chorus: I wish time was still. We’d stay right here With time to kill In our hearts without chains. And if time was still We’d have no fear Or scars to heal In our hearts without chains In our hearts without chains. You left everything behind except yourself But all I see is question marks and nothing else. You must have landed in New York by now. Please don’t bring this love down. Have you lost the same things I have lost? Do you know that panic I know? Would I see the terror in your face? Do you know that fever I know? Chorus: I wish time was still. We’d stay right here With time to kill In our hearts without chains. And if time was still We’d have no fear Or scars to heal In our hearts without chains In our hearts without chains. Don’t bring this love down. Don’t bring this love down. Don’t bring this love down. Don’t bring this love down. Chorus: I wish time was still. We’d stay right here With time to kill In our hearts without chains. And if time was still We’d have no fear Or scars to heal In our hearts without chains In our hearts without chains In our hearts without chains. 4) STAY AWAKE Capo VII E------------0--1-------------------------- B--------3--------------------------------- G-----4------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------- Take my fate in your hands We’ve got a lot that hasn’t even began Something is calling us We’re breaking free I’m curious I need to see.

Chorus: I feel like I am dreaming again I feel like I am seeing again I feel like I am breathing again I got it under control I got it under control I got it under control All that’s real is faded like a car into the night Like painkiller I take it And I watch the world ignite Now the smoke has cleared And the end is near It was my illusion. Like a broken dream I was incomplete But your love was never the missing piece Chorus: I feel like I am dreaming again I feel like I am seeing again I feel like I am breathing again I got it under control I got it under control I got it under control 7) FLASHLIGHT (feat.

Burns) x2 You say you’re going through changes Every day it seems your life is up and down And you say that you’re looking for an answer Everywhere you look it seems you can’t be found Like searching trying to find the rainbow No one’s ever found it yet it’s told to be But if you’re looking for a lover Everything you need yeah you can find right here with me Chorus: I’ve got the Midas touch Everything I touch turns to gold oh sugar I’ve got the Midas touch Baby let me touch your body and your soul (X2) (x2) Now you’ve been trapped by love Someone takes your heart and then says goodbye So you say that you’ll never love another Tired of playing games and that’s the reason why But now whenever we’re together There’s a certain feeling that we both agree And it’s time that you’ve opened up to love Cause if you don’t ever try then baby you may never see Chorus: I’ve got the Midas touch Everything I touch turns to gold oh sugar I’ve got the Midas touch Baby let me touch your body and your soul (X2) Together you and I we’re meant to be I’ll be right beside whenever you need me This love we have will never fade away You can count on me cause I’m here to stay yeah (x2) Chorus: I’ve got the Midas touch Everything I touch turns to gold oh sugar I’ve got the Midas touch Baby let me touch your body and your soul (X2)
