And though you’re free to go. Looking for that pot of gold  And though you’re holding on. Some day you’ll find your way back home. You take that, you take love, you take that, you take love, you take it from me. Some things are meant to be / So bring it on back to me.  And though you’re free to go. The distance as the line is drawn And if you’re holding on, looking for that pot of gold.  You take that, you take love, you take that, you take love, You take it from me. Some things are meant to be / So bring it on back to me.

Coz I been hurting it was all the world to blame Disappointment was running around my brain Coz who needs part of it, such a stupid game, Coz if you don’t change something, you won’t get nothing, it just comes around again Gimme that something just to make it right Gimme that something, gets me through the night And suddenly I see, to my surprise   I’ve been hurt and let down Love be the weapon I found I’ve been hurt and let down Don’t think you’re gonna stick on me   Hurt and let down Love be the weapon I found I’ve been hurt and let down Oh I’m just getting ready   Best foot forward, I’m taking steps to find, Just adore it, this purity of mind Feel the force of it the energy of kind Coz if you don’t change something, you won’t get nothing, and there’s the warning sign Suddenly hit me right between the eyes, Coz then it all fits and comes as no surprise, That’s from me to you, let’s all arise

Take a second it‘ll be ok I remember how it used to be Coz when you do what you do, and you don’t get the feeling lately Indifference is the enemy, fear (feels) is like an old friend to me You gotta move on the motion, pick up the potion drink me So don’t give up the fight, you’re seeing the light now maybe Coz your bones ache but your soul shakes, does it feel like you’ve been here before, When you lose control and it stirs your soul, that's fuel to my fire now baby I remember how it used to be. Picking cherries off the cherry tree When you doing your thing –if it’s just feeling tired and lazy So, don’t give up the fight, you’re seeing the light now baby Coz your bones ache, but your soul shakes, does it feel like you’ve been here before? When you lose control and stirs your soul and now you really wanna give it some more. So, give it a nudge, throw it away, take it back to who you wanted to be. If you like that change and you just can’t wait, that's fuel to my fire now baby Suddenly I don’t feel the same. No time to play the waiting game Now I’m doing my thing, I’m back in the game, oh baby There’s fire in my veins, that’s living alright so maybe If your bones ache but your soul shakes, does it feel like you’ve been here before? When you lose control and it stirs your soul and now you really wanna give it some more. So, give it a nudge, throw it away, take it back to who you wanted to be. If you like that change and you just can’t wait. That's fuel to my fire now baby If your bones ache, but your soul shakes, but I only wanna do it again. I got fire in my tummy and its some kind of yummy and I only want to do it again. So give it a nudge, throw it away, take it back to who you wanted to be. If you like that change and you just cant wait, That's fuel to my fire now baby

Just keep it moving so the fire won't die  I keep believing but you'll never be here again  That sinking feeling if you don’t give it up it dies It's so deceiving but the tears run from my eyes  So don't explain, coz if you're gonna leave me anyway I guess it's true that we've seen better days But do we have to lose it all? My 21st century fall  It come alive now, it come alive now, it come alive with you Let’s run away now, just get away, there’s no getting over you. Don’t mess around now, don’t around so don’t around with me All your signs they blitz my mind, is this how its meant to be? That sinking feeling as the river runs dry I guess I’m grieving but its comes as no surprise And though we’re moving on the rhythm don’t stop My heart is beating now it feels about to drop So don't explain, coz if you're gonna leave me anyway I guess it's true that we've seen better days But do we have to lose it all? My 21st century fall x 2

I guess I’m joking, Im only kind of joking Something that we really need to say Don’t keep me waiting, I guess anticipating The one thing that we have to put to bed Here’s to all the plans we had The nights were soaked in wine The one thing that we don’t have is the luxury of time That’s where we are (repeat) And now we’ve spoken, the future’s far from broken Glad we took the time to get it straight I must be leaving, coz there’s a choice believe me Now there’s nothing standing in our way Here’s to all the plans we had The nights were soaked in wine The one thing that we don’t have is the luxury of time

Instamaniac 03:42
Lately she’s been feeling so lonely Really gripped by this fever Only thing that relieves her Is your ‘hearts and likes’ So, don’t ignore me, here I am, just adore me Seeking virtual perfection Just to get your attention. That would be nice So here I am, picture perfect to a tee I’m hoping that you’ll notice me Your attention would be nice But it all comes at a price Coz you’ll never be alone again Hashtag blessed, all acting zen An Instamaniac its true Watch what’s in front of you. But still I’m waiting, time is exacerbating Seeking virtual perfection, just to get your attention. That would be nice So here I am, picture perfect to a tee, I’m hoping that you’ll notice me Your attention would be nice But it all comes at a price Coz you’ll never be alone again Hashtag blessed, all acting zen An Instamaniac its true Watch what’s in front of you.

And though you’re free to go  Looking for that pot of gold  And though you’re holding on  Some day you’ll find your way back home. You take that,You take love You take it from me  Some things are meant to be So bring it on back to me.  And though you’re free to go  The distance as the line is drawn And if you’re holding on  Looking for that pot of gold.  You take that,You take love You take it from me  Some things are meant to be So bring it on back to me.
