Dance With Me

I’ve always liked planning
It makes me feel secure
When things go wrong, I dream
It works as a cure
I try to do what’s right
And not what my heart wants
So many decisions
That’s what adulthood looks like
CHORUS
Come on and dance with me
We’re gonna celebrate
Our mistakes and mishaps
Harsh turns of fate
Come on and dance with me
Life is tough but so are you
You say you don’t know what to do
No worries, I have no clue too
I wanna see the world
And I wanna settle down
I wanna have someone who cares
To be around
I chase my future
I chase my future on my own
I wanna live forever
Gonna live forever
If I can stay for that long
CHORUS
You say you don’t know what to do
No worries, I have no clue
Choose your direction
Change it on the way
You have your whole life
But you act like you have a day
Choose your direction
Change it on the way
You have your whole life, you have your whole life
But you act like you have a day
Choose your direction
Change it on…
You have your whole life, have your whole life
But it feels like just a day
Why does it feel like just a day?
Dance! Dance!
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me!
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me!
CHORUS
You say you don’t know what to do
No worries, I have no clue too

In My 20s

I turned right
And it must have been wrong
I don’t really care
Today I’m not coming home
I am up for adventure
I am up for some fun
Bristol cannot disappoint
It’s the coolest town
The coolest town!
Don’t stare at me
I won’t be yours
I only attract
The wrong type of boys
I am up for adventure
I am up for some fun
Sorry but it will not involve you, hun!
CHORUS
From now on I only listen to my heart
Lived in a bubble, never looked around
It’s actually the best time for mistakes
Don’t know anyone who made it in one take
I’m in my twenties, in my twenties, in my twenties
I’m in my twenties, in my twenties, in my twenties
I might need advice
But I don’t need approval
Don’t wanna be sorry
Right before my funeral
I am up for adventure
I am up for some fun
Bristol didn’t disappoint
It’s the coolest town
The coolest town!
Go!
CHORUS
Live like you’re dying
Laugh when you’re crying
What a nonsense, naive and trite
But what else can you do? So, do it in spite…
I’m in my twenties
From now on I only listen to my heart
Lived in a bubble, never looked around
It’s actually the best time for mistakes
From now on I only listen to my heart
Lived in a bubble, never looked around
It’s actually the best time for mistakes
CHORUS
I’m in my twenties, in my twenties, in my twenties
I’m in my twenties!

Trouble
05:36

|
Going with the flow, but willing to stand out
Screaming that we’re lonely while hiding in the crowd
I say take my hand that I can always drop
So sure that we’re hopeless but don’t you dare to stop
Say that you don’t care, be on your own
Build walls around you and see how we go
And no one understands how exceptional you are
The whole generation’s like a unique replica
CHORUS:
I go where trouble can follow
I know that it’s too late to bother
What done is done
What said is said
What missed is missed
Get a grip, it cannot be that bad
Turn to your dark side, push it to extreme
I know you’re bored, so let's just make a scene
But please watch your heart, all I do is break
Good things around me, I don’t give, I take
CHORUS
Tell me ‘bout your dreams
Now tell me what you’ve done
To make them come true
Now you see why you’re down
Tell me ‘bout your fears
Is getting what you want
Among them, among them, among them?
Tell me ‘bout your dreams,
Now tell me what you really want
The beauty of illusions
Makes your reality gone
Tell me ‘bout your fears
Is getting what you want
Among them, among them, among them?
I go where trouble can follow
I know that it’s too late to bother
What done is done
What said is said
What missed is missed
What done is done
What said is said
Get your grip, it is not yet that bad!
I go where trouble can follow, follow, follow me
I go where trouble can follow, follow, follow me
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow me
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow me

Visitor
03:50

|
We walked down the same streets
But I walked alone
And I counted them my own
Those streets felt like my own
Time has never been on my side
That's alight
There'll be another chance to fight
I will keep that in my mind
It's funny it was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
And at all times back in my town, in my town
I don't feel welcome
CHORUS
Don't count on me, I will not stay here
I am a visitor
Don't count on me, I will not stay here
I am a visitor
We had the same dreams
Why didn't mine come true?
I was too busy trying to outmatch you
Now there's not much that I can do
These days are slipping
Slipping through my hands
On a sad note this journey ends
I didn't think it'd be so intense
It was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
And at all times back in my town, in my town
I don't feel welcome
I don't feel welcome
CHORUS
Don't count on me, I will not stay here
I am a visitor, a visitor
Don't count on me, I will not stay here
I am a visitor, I am a visitor
It was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
It was my time and my town
It was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
It was my time and my town
It was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
It was my time and my town
CHORUS
It was my time and my town
Now it's your time and your town
It was my time and my town
