Heavy All uphill Never easy No standing still All caught up Being held back Manifest your defence And watch it pass So keep your head up Your wings wide Find fire That keeps your soul alive So keep your head up Your mind strong Let go Instead of holding on So keep your head up Your wings wide Find fire That keeps your soul alive So keep your head up Your mind strong Let go Instead of holding on

I've been through a year of madness Replaced my hope with sadness Found waking up the hardest And every day, it felt the longest All blessings were unwanted Constantly haunted Then you opened up Opened up my windows Yeah, you opened up Opened up my windows Like fire in the sky You know what it's like Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes I've been through a year of hurting (Badly) Bad guesses and wrong turnings The memory still burning (Inside) And the lights are all at red Should I leave or stay in bed? Didn't practice what I preached So I just shouted, "Help me" "Help me" Then you opened up Opened up my windows Yeah, you opened up Opened up my windows Like fire in the sky You know what it's like Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes Ready now to start this climb See the beacon way up high If I fall or lose my way Please come and get me, get me You opened up Opened up my windows Yeah, you opened up Opened up my windows Then you opened up Opened up my windows Yeah, you opened up Opened up my windows Like fire in the sky You know what it's like Was so glad to feel the sunlight in my eyes You opened up Opened up my windows Yeah, you opened up Opened up my windows

This Life 03:47
In this life, you can try But it won't stop challenging you It won't stop challenging you Rainy days, big mistakes Losing love and singing the blues When you can't stop singing the blues When you make plans they never work They never work It feels so good until it hurts But when it hurts It's time to tell you, baby This life ain't no bed of roses This life will take everything that you've got In this life, there's no second chances Make this life yours Stormy seas Thinking you've found your feet Then you lose your way When you can't stop losing your way Hoping for second chances Bracing for bumpy landings Always the hardest race You can't stop running that race When you make plans god laughs at you God laughs at you You sing but you can't hear the tune When you can't hear the tune It's time to tell you, baby This life ain't no bed of roses This life will take everything that you've got In this life, there's no second chances Make this life yours No way tomorrow is golden (Tomorrow is golden) A new day can be anything that you want 'Cause this life belongs to no other Make this life yours But while we're here on this Earth We need to make it all work Just try 'cause I Can help you find Your place in this life This life ain't no bed of roses (This life) This life will take everything that you've got In this life, there's no second chances Make this life yours There's no way tomorrow is golden (Tomorrow is golden) A new day can be anything that you want 'Cause this life belongs to no other Make this life yours Yeah, this life This life will take everything that you've got In this life, there's no second chances Make this life, make this life yours There's no way tomorrow is golden A new day can be everything that you want 'Cause this life belongs to no other Make this life yours

Where do we start on a love that we know so well How do we even begin to explain ourselves The moments we swore on our lives that we won't forget Number one I couldn't do this for anyone Hold out my hands in front of everyone You are the reason that I'm holding on 'Cause you're my number one And away from this whole crowd when new waves come and tides move on Every day you'll ever know is followed by a brand new sun Hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Keeping a faith in a place that we hope won't pass Taking a second to stop if we go too fast Grass always grows in the garden and through the cracks Holding on You're still the reason that I'm holding on Maybe it's something in the chemistry Am I part of you or are you part of me? Hey, hey, hey, hey And away from this whole crowd when new waves come and tides move on Every day you'll ever know is followed by a brand new sun And the nights won't feel so long as long as we've got our eyes on each other Hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey My eyes are bigger than your eyes And your eyes are bigger than mine Bigger than mine Hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey And away from this whole crowd when new waves come and tides move on Every day you'll ever know is followed by a brand new sun Hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey

Remember why we started out The memory is just a cloud It only takes a drop to make it rain You said I was an optimist The hope in every goodbye kiss The sun that creeps along the window pane And what we learn along the way We win together, lose when we're apart Saying what you need to say Don't change a single thing about my heart And I don't wanna start again I don't wanna start again I don't wanna start again You see it all in black-and-white Where there's only your side and mine I want to put the colour in your eyes Skipping over middle ground Always up until you're down We've gotta find a way to compromise And any time you go away Reality is catching me off guard Say what you need to say Don't change a single thing about my heart But I don't wanna start again I don't wanna start again I don't wanna start again But we can do it all again We can do it all again We can do it all again We fight, we try Don't wait around for perfect weather Fix the holes in the roof together Take a heart and make it better Give me hope to fight the daze For your love, yeah, I'll be waiting Just because it's hard to see it Doesn't mean we can't believe it Do it all again Do it all again Do it all again Do it all Do it all again Do it all again Do it all again Do it all

Just another night feeling lost Peace is hard to find but never forgot Just lying underneath the stars My feet stand on Earth My head's on Mars Just day dreaming To find your heart took way too long All of the pain leaving Counting my blessings one by one You pick me up You hold me high Show me the ladder Up to the sky Forever strong Always a shoulder My call for help The days I hate myself You speak the words I need to hear Yeah, it always works You lift me up But catch me falling Save me from Hell The days I hate my—, hate my—, hate myself Just another wave of feeling scared I've tried to breathe it out but got nowhere Looking out, the horizon's clear Thought we were in a crowd But there's only us here My mind's racing Imagining a different view As we watch the Sun fading It all comes down, comes down to you You pick me up You hold me high Show me the ladder Up to the sky Forever strong Always a shoulder My call for help The days I hate myself You speak the words I need to hear Yeah, it always works You lift me up But catch me falling Save me from Hell The days I hate my—, hate my—, hate myself No, you never give up Or fall to the ground But you make me believe When I don't like what I see You pick me up You hold me high Show me the ladder Up to the sky Forever strong Always a shoulder My call for help The days I hate myself The days I need some help When I can't stand my reflection You save me from that Hell The days I hate my—, hate my—, hate myself Show me the ladder Up to the sky Forever strong Always a shoulder My call for help The days I hate myself You speak the words I need to hear Yeah, it always works You lift me up But catch me falling Save me from Hell The days I hate my—, hate my—, hate myself Just another night Feeling lost Peace is hard to find Never forgot

The Champion 03:37
Champagne from a fast-food restaurant Paper cup Candle conversations in a Power cut Sometimes broken plans can end up Better than when they're not Breaking up So, I won't settle down No, I won't settle down For a while And it feels like It's been a long time coming I'm a light-head dreamer I am a little bit yesterday I'm a nice try I'm a little bit broken I'm a last chance flying high I'm a patched-up champion Of the world Feeling like a king But I'm still broken Yeah, I'm still broken Headlights shine like diamonds in the Pouring rain Wrapped around the city making Silver chains Sometimes things look better When you're looking from Far away Oh, yeah And it feels like It's been a long time coming I'm a light-headed dreamer I am a little bit yesterday I'm a nice try I'm a little bit broken I'm a last chance flying high I'm a patched-up champion Of the world Feeling like a king But I'm still broken Yeah, I'm still broken Yeah, I'm still broken I'm a patched-up champion of the world I'm a light headed dreamer I am a little bit yesterday I'm a champion of the world I'm a champion of the world I'm a champion of the world I'm a champion of the world

Let's take our time We got all day Sit back and watch Everyone chase Just meditate Breathe it all out The whole world can wait 'Til they work it out Nowhere But now No rush Slow down 'Cause we got all day We got all day We got all day We got all day Take aim and wait (Wait, wait) Commit to drop out Yeah, we're doing OK (It will be just fine) When you don't work it out Lie back, close your eyes (Lie back, close your eyes) In silence, no sound (Silence, no sound) Nowhere (Nowhere) But now (But now) No rush (No rush) Slow down 'Cause we got all day We got all day 'Cause we got all day We got all day Kick back, relaxing Nobody asking No one to be but yourself Just going nowhere Stood still but don't care If we need to be somewhere else Then we got all day We got all day We got all day We got all day We got all day We got all day

Static white noise Submerged, no choice And never asked, just given All day, all year Too close, too near And never wanting to listen I don't look for congratulations Or to hear the crowd applaud It's just this reckless mind Wasting time Lost every time that I've fought With a mind full of madness And a heart full of sadness I'll go wherever you lead With a head full of misses All I've never finished That person I'll never be All chaos, bends No rhymes, no sense All waves, no clear blue ocean Just stones, inclines Weigh hard on this mind Pushing on doors that won't open I drowned out any meditation I've breathed in 'til the air ran out It's just this mixed-up mind Wasting time Putting my decisions in doubt With a mind full of madness And a heart full of sadness I'll go wherever you lead With a head full of misses All I've never finished That person I'll never be With a mind full of madness And a heart full of sadness I'll go wherever you lead With a head full of misses All I've never finished That person I'll never be I don't look for congratulations Or to hear the crowd applaud It's just this reckless mind Wasting time Lost every time that I've fought With a mind full of madness With a heart full of sadness With a mind full of madness With a heart full of sadness With a mind full of madness

I get up Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again When I'm on my back Looking at the stars Everything up in the air And the same old ground Keeps pulling me down Gravity gets everywhere When I lose my grip I roll up a cigarette Smoke blows back into my face And the lemons leave me With a bittersweet taste Trying to keep the tears away 'Til the world stops turning My heart stops beating My mind stops dreaming The line gets cut I get up Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again I get up (Yeah) Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again It's an up and down road And it's a long one But someone's got to walk on it And the words don't sound The same to everyone But someone's gonna write about it And I fall in love like Niagara falls Drown before I learn to swim And there's no life vest When you're out of your depth Trying to keep yourself afloat Gonna need a bigger boat Wipe my face I tie my laces Say my prayers I dust myself off I get up (I get up) Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again I get up (Yeah) Time and time again (Time and time again) Time and time again (Time and time again) Time and time again I lay down every evening I wake up every day I lay down every evening I wake up every day I lay down every evening I wake up every day I get up I get down I get up I get down I get up (Yeah) Time and time again Time and time again (Yeah) Time and time again I get up (I get up) (Time and time again) Time and time again (Time and time again) Time and time again (Time and time again) Time and time again

I was watching you fall down for the first time I knew what I had to do I tried to hold your hand to stop you being scared All the while in the waiting room I wish I could be everywhere Be present when you need me there But sometimes I'm not at home The only time you realise You're holding on so tightly Is when you're letting go You've got friends and you won't need so much from me And only heaven knows the things you're gonna see But while I've got you here, just sit and talk to me I want to, 'cause I love you One more word while we're together 'Cause one day we will have to be apart One more song that lasts forever You'll hear it in your heart You'll hear it in your heart I kept a book of everything you ever did You're the story of my life Little things that only we could understand Let's remember them tonight You drink my beer, I drink your wine I take your points and you take mine We're learning everyday The sound of voices echo around In every home, in ever town And never fade away Turn your world until it's where you wanna be Every corner, every island, every sea But while I've got you here, just sit and talk to me I want to, 'cause I love you One more word while we're together 'Cause one day we will have to be apart One more song that lasts forever You'll hear it in your heart You'll hear it in your heart One more word while we're together You'll hear it in your heart You'll hear it in your heart

Where We Are 04:29
We raised the bar Turned and started following the brightest star And maybe on that road ahead we'd find out Who we really are Made sacrifices Never put our weapons down, just kept on fighting When everyone said no, that's when we'd start to go How did we know? Just look at where we are The years behind us We've come so far Oh Above the universe Standing here, looking back at Earth We heard the call The day arrived, we had to build a higher wall The nights we all came knocking but no one was home No one's at home We could have stayed in bed Not real and just pretend But that was never enough We wanted to see the sunset Just look at where we are The years behind us We've come so far Oh Above the universe Standing here, looking back at Earth Whoa Run out of luck sometimes We're only human We've walked the line and seen it all Filled up our beating hearts We're only human We're where we are Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Is it a place or a state of mind? I took a step and decided to climb Looking out into space Let the moon light your face It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Whoa Just look at where we are The years behind us We've come so far Oh Above the universe Standing here, looking back at Earth Whoa Run out of luck sometimes We're only human We've walked the line and seen it all Filled up our beating hearts We're only human We're where we are We're where we are, oh We're where we are, oh We're where we are Hmm Hmm Where we are
