If I’m Not Here Tomorow
B. Lawrenson/J.Turner

If I’m not here tomorrow
Would you understand why I left you this way
‘Cause if I’m not here tomorrow
Babe, it doesn’t mean I didn’t wanna stay.

‘Cause this life I have to follow
And I gotta handle it day by day so
If I’m not here tomorrow baby
Would you love me anyway

‘Cause it’s a scary ride to live by
But I’ll make it anyway
So if I’m not here, if I’m not here
Baby, I found my way

I’m living these days like a wonderer
And baby I’m so lost in this place
When I don’t know what to do anymore
Is it ok if I lose my way

‘Cause it’s a scary ride to live by
But I’ll make it anyway
So if I’m not here, if I’m not here
Baby, I found my way

These dreams you thought I’d never find
Well they’ll never die
Take what you want and leave the rest of me behind
‘cause it’s about the ride, about the ride.

If I’m not here tomorrow
Would you understand why I left you this way
‘Cause if I’m not here tomorrow
Baby, would you love me, yeah, baby, would you love me anyway
Would you love me anyway
I’m Worth it
B. Lawrenson/S. Chhangur/R. Moir

I think I’m worth it
I’m worth all of the good things you say to me yeah
I think I’m worth it
I’m worth all of the things that I can be oh

Yeah I don’t care where you are
I don’t care that you’re chillin’
I don’t care what your friends say
And that they’re waiting
I don’t care what your friends say
That they’re waiting

I’m worth it you know it
Yeah you make it so real
That I like what you do
I’m worth it oh
And I know it for sure that I’m perfect for you
I’m worth it yeah

I know you want it
But around your friends you’re too scared to say
That she comes first with me
And I wanna be with her everyday oh

They can say I’m a bitch
You know I can read lips
But I don’t care what your friends say and
That they’re waiting
I don’t care what your friends say
And that they’re waiting

I’d do anything for you
You’d do anything for me
And we’d be so much better
If your friends just leave
Everyone Told You
B. Lawrenson/J. Turner

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh

Now or never is what you used to say
Baby you always made me feel that way
But you and I were a dream that just never came true
But baby listen to what I have to say to you

There were times I knew you’d never see
But in ways I knew you would always remember me
Could you be the one to make my every dream

Everyone told you I was feeling this way inside
Everyone told you that when I said I was fine I lied
Everyone told you this wasn’t how we were supposed to be
But when everyone told you
Nobody was telling me

We were lost inside this world of broken dreams oh yeah
We tried so hard to fix all those broken seams
And there was no way of finding love in between
So when I say goodbye this is what I really mean

Ooooo
You know we tried so hard
But we never got that far
If we had’ve listened to our hearts yeah
Maybe we would’ve never, never fallen apart
Be Your Fool
B. Lawrenson/ Joe Turner

All I wanna do is break the rules
And all I wanna be is in your wildest fantasy ya
And all I wanna see is you and me
But I know what I gotta do
I gotta get through to you
‘Cause baby, all I wanna do is be your fool

Well, I always loved you, now that I’m on my own
Baby, I know that I told you to just leave me alone
‘Cause I’ll never forget that time that you made me believe you man
And then you got right up and left me alone with my heart out in my hands

All I wanna do is break the rules
And all I wanna be is in your wildest fantasy ya
And all I wanna see is you and me
But I know what I gotta do
I gotta get through to you
‘Cause baby, all I wanna do is be your fool

Well, it was dark that night so I ran away from the light
I knew what ever I did I didn’t want you to see me cry
And all of the things you said are still runnin’ through my head
But that was then and I know it’ll never be that way again

Well, I thought I knew what you were about, ya
And I thought I had it all figured out
And I thought I had it all marked down but I couldn’t shake it out

Now all I wanna do is break the rules
And all I wanna be is in your wildest fantasy
And all I wanna see is you and me
But I know what I gotta do
I gotta get through to you
‘Cause baby, all I wanna do is be your fool
Rockin’ Into My Life
B. Lawrenson/S.Chhangur/R. Moir/B.Turner

No one’s gonna put me down
No one’s gonna push me around
Gonna keep my feet on the ground
And keep walking

No one’s gonna take control
No one’s gonna own my soul
I’m outta here let’s rock and roll
And keep rockin’

Did you think I fell for you
‘Cause I took that crap from you
Hey baby live and learn

I won’t give in won’t run away
If I fall down well that’s okay
Gonna keep rockin’
Rockin’ into my life

I won’t lose my mind or break my word
Go for cheap and end up hurt
I’ll keep rockin’
Rockin’ into my life

No one’s gonna shut me out
No one’s gonna see me spaced out
No one’s gonna make me doubt
‘Cause I ‘m still rockin’

No one’s gonna make me change
And I’m never gonna be ashamed
No one’s gonna put me in chains
‘Cause I’m still rockin’

And you can’t run over me
Or make me feel lonely
You can’t have my apartment key
I can make you go away
All The Time
B. Lawrenson/ S. Chhangur/ R. Moir

Do you remember the way you felt about me
Do you remember all the things you said
And the way you used to look at me
Are like pictures running through my head
Oh baby do you remember
‘Cause I can never forget

It seemed so easy for you to leave it all behind
Guess there’s no use it trying ‘cause you just don’t care
Oh but I thought I saw the love in your eyes
But I guess you weren’t looking at me
Do you have all you want now
And will you ever forget

All the time you said you loved me
All the time you said you cared
Tell me what am I gonna do with all the time
And all the time we spent together
All the time it was falling apart
Tell me what am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
With all the time

Do you remember the way you used to hold me
Who would’ve ever have thought that it could fade away
But no matter how hard I try
All I feel from you is goodbye
Oh hope you have all you want now
And will you ever forget

Wherever you were baby oh that’s were I stood
I would’ve done anything for you baby
Oh why’d you have to leave me baby
When everything was just so good
Walk Away
B. Lawrenson,/J. Turner

Don’t stand there on your pride
And tell me everything’s alright ‘cause
I don’t wanna be the one
To waste your time

Don’t think that you’re the only guy
Who comes around
When my world falls down  
‘Cause sometimes the silence is too loud

But baby I would’ve walked the world to know you
I would’ve lied through my eyes to show you

But I swear to God I will walk away
I swear to heaven above nothing will stand in my way
If you don’t show me the love just to believe all the things you
say baby
I swear to God I will walk away

God knows I tried so hard
Just to stay right here
Just to face my fears when
The whole world just makes me wanna die

It’s so strange the way you are
The way you care
You make me wanna stay
Right here yeah yeah oh

And I would’ve walked the world to know you
I would’ve lied through my eyes to show you

And if we’re only us for a while
Yeah if it’s just you and me if I could make it worth your while  
And baby for all the times that you made me cry
If I was ever without you I would fall apart inside yeah
Just Another Day
B. Lawrenson/S. Epps/B. Turner

You can’t hold me like you used to do
And I don’t feel a thing since you told me we were through
I remember the night you drove away
So fast, like you knew we’d never last

But I put it all away to hope
I could have you for just another day, for just another day

Remember the things you told me
They’re dancing in my head
And all of the lies you sold me and the hell I won’t forget
Now that it’s been so long oh since you’ve gone away
I can’t keep on breathing when I hear your name

But I put it all away
To hope I could have you for just another day
And I’d forget about all the pain
If I knew I could have you for just another day
Just another day

Well don’t tell me that you’re happy
With her by your side
‘cause no one can replace me
and it’s the one thing you can’t deny  can’t deny

Don’t tell me that you’re happy
With her by your side
‘cause no one can replace me
And it’s the one thing you can’t deny, can’t deny

But I put it all away
To hope I could have you for just another day
And I forget about all the pain
If I knew I could have you
For just another day, just another day, just another day
First Day Of School
B. Lawrenson/S. Chhangur/R. Moir

The summer was over I was back to school
It had been a good one I was looking real cool
Down at the lake I fell in love twice
I was ready for anything yeah except advice

And he came walking down the hall looking so cool
Jeans riding on his hips his eyes a deep blue
I dropped my books my heart skipped
And when he bent down to help me he touched my hand yeah

And he said what’s your name
Hey I asked you first- my cool and confidence it usually works
Then came the words that knocked me on my ass
He said I’m Mr. Connor and this is my class

Oh on the first day of school I hit on Mr. Connor
I fell fast yeah I fell so hard
He got to me right from the start
Mr. Connor did it good yeah he stole my heart

I don’t give up easy I knew it was a lie
He looked so young in his faded Levis
I said lets skip yeah we could just bail
He said if I did that they have to put me in jail

It was too true he was a teacher
It’s not fair he could’ve been a keeper
Graduation is so far way
And I can’t wait for that day
Miss Mary-Jane
B.Lawrenson/S.Chhangur/R.Moir/ J.Turner

Dear Miss Mary-Jane
They say I wanna be like you
They say I even sound like you
I don’t believe that’s true

And when they talk about your life
Oh they can’t help but find
How it compares to mine
Can they really be that blind

No fear no guilt no shame
Don’t give a shit about the names
Oh yeah I can relate
I know that it’s my fate

Dear Miss Mary-Jane
Don’t you hurt sometimes
Do you lay down at night
Intending not to rise

And oh when you cry
Do you hide your eyes
So you can see right through their lies
Miss Mary-Jane

Dear Miss Mary-Jane
Was it hard to be yourself
When you had to be someone else
In a world that helps itself

Oh and their talking, talking
Like they think that they know the truth
That it’s alright they’ve got the proof
Oh and they’re coming down on you

And they say you felt the shame
When the papers all named names
But they don’t know a thing
Why can’t they just let you sing

But you made all your dreams come true
Yeah no matter what they said about you
You knew what you had to do
And you never let them see you cry
California
B. Lawrenson/ B. Turner

Don’t tell me how to believe
I know it takes a little time
And all I’m doing is trying to get by
But it’s killing me just to try
Feel like I am wasting my life

And I don’t wanna give up
What if I’m not strong enough
Don’t wanna be what I’m not
But I’m giving all I got

Cali how was I supposed to know
If this is really it why do I feel like letting go
Cali I thought I knew I was gonna be
I was ready to show them all
Why do I feel like I’m not me
Why do I feel like I’m not me

But I knew every word
Man I had it all down
There was nothing I forgot to say
How did it all turn around
And why did nothing go my own way

And you were some kind of a dream
Was it all a fantasy was it really meant to be
And they all said this was the real deal
Now how am I supposed to feel

Cali how was I supposed to know
If this is really it why do I feel like letting go
Cali I thought I knew I was gonna be
I was ready to show them all
Why do I feel like I’m not me
Why do I feel like I’m not me
Tension
B. Lawrenson/J. Turner

For so long the words never came out
For so long they betrayed melody
For so long the sky had the greyest shade
Like the earth and the wind hated me

And I was too quick to believe
That the world I had dreamed was bound to deceive
And I was too fast to assume
That there was nothing left here for me
But that’s just the tension in me

And I couldn’t get up just to get out
And I couldn’t get up to believe
Everything jade me and I couldn’t see
All the faith, all the good around me

And I was too quick to believe
That the world I had dreamed was bound to deceive
And I was too fast to assume
That there was nothing left here for me
But that’s just the tension in me

And these voices kept me below the ground
Like a hell, like a dark fantasy
And I could here them all around
Crying loud saying, just let me be

And I was too quick to believe
That the world I had dreamed was bound to deceive
And I was too fast to assume
That there was nothing left here for me
But that’s just the tension in me

And what do you want from me
Why must you take all my sanity
And leave me to dwell in my own sympathy
I guess it’s all you let me be
What’s It Gonna Take
B.Lawrenson/S. Chhangur/ R. Moir/ B. Turner

I’m so confused and it’s not like I’m trying to be
Man I don’t understand what you want from me
Don’t have the answers but God I wish I did
It would make life so much easier
Oh sometimes I feel like such a kid
And I don’t believe it’s true
Don’t try to make me feel like
That I’m not good enough for you

So what’s it gonna take to make you understand
There’s no way that I’m perfect
Accept me for who I am
What’s it gonna take to fit in this crazy world
When I’m doing the best I can but I’m just one girl
Yeah what’s it gonna take what’s it gonna take

Everyone else is always acting like they know
What they’re talking about not a trace of any doubt
And I’m not trying to be mean no
But I feel so lost inside and I don’t know what to do
Oh sometimes I just wanna run away and hide
And I don’t believe it’s true
Don’t try to make me feel
That I’m not good enough for you

And I just wanna be myself won’t depend on someone else
Don’t say that I’ve lost my mind
Don’t give me that because I’m not blind
Come on boy be a man what you see is what I am
I Will Be
B. Lawrenson/J. Turner

What I didn’t know was what I wanted so bad
And what I didn’t want was all I had yeah yeah
And I can’t help but taste these tears that I have inside
And I know now that I have to fly

‘Cause I will be across the ocean
And I will be on the desert sands
I will be anywhere I have to just to be who I am
I will be worth a thousand skies
I will be ready to fly
I will be on my every dream till the day I die
That’s what I will be
That’s what I will be

These days it seems oh that I don’t belong
And what I’ve done it feels so wrong
And nobody knows me no one hears me crying deep inside
And at times I feel all I can do is hide

Some days my dreams are so far
Some days I can’t see past the clouds
Some days I gotta get back on my feet somehow
Some days oh I am so scared
Some days I just wanna leave
Some days it’s burning a hole inside of me
Black and Purple
B. Lawrenson/B. Turner

He has to stand up and be strong
To show everyone he belongs
She has to fight to live her life
She has to hide her pain inside

And everyone is scared of him
But that’s the way that he’s gotta live
Do you think she feels his pain
There’s no justice in this game

And when they fall asleep at night
They know the morning won’t be bright
‘Cause they are living in a hell
Yeah they’re trapped inside themselves

But is it worth everything that they said it would be
Has he become the enemy
Will she ever live in a world of peace
He’s gotta wash away the black burdens he feels
She’s gotta cover all the purple scars that she can heal

She makes that girl feel so small
She can’t hear her silent cries at all
And it is wrong to let down their guard
‘Cause in this world you can’t have a heart

His days are long he wants to die
‘Cause he knows that he’s a different guy
When will he take off his mask and leave everything to the
past
Leave it in the past – leave it in the past

(There was a time) Oh life was so much easier then I know
(A memory left behind) I can’t remember what it’s like
(I worked so hard)Trying to make everyone look up to me
But as hard as I try only black and purple bruises
Ache behind my eyes ache behind my eyes

And it wasn’t worth what they said it would be
I became the enemy
Am I gonna live in a world of peace
‘Cause I washed all the black burdens out of me (out of me)
Yeah I healed all the purple scars everyone could see
I found me
It’s Alright
B. Lawrenson/J. Turner

I always believed in the world
And I always knew there was something more to it
And man I just hadn’t found it yet

And I always looked down at the ground
Yeah knowing that it would take me anywhere
All I had to do was make it there

And I would run so fast to a place where no one cares
Away from things I don’t need to hear
And it would be okay from there

And I would run like there was nothing to run for
Like it don’t matter anymore
When they say life’s too short

‘Cause when there’s no one there that you can count on
anymore
And there’s no one there and you can’t breathe here anymore
And it’s like a bad dream everything’s harder than it seems
There’s a place where you can fall there and somehow it’s
alright now

And girl you tell me that it’s not fair
You tell me they make you think that they’ll be there
Oh they make you think that they even care

And he- he looks into your eyes
And tells you all kinds of fake and phony lies
All the things you wanna feel inside

And you know that it makes you wonder why
Wonder why you take the time
Why you take the time to try

Yeah but it’s something inside that hides between the lines
And underneath your questions why
And yeah you’ll find the answers in time oh- oh

Oh it’s all in you- you find the truth
Do what ya do yeah
Find everything you need don’t you give in selfishly
Feel it baby yeah
