The Test 03:18
Red light, green light,
 I'm just waiting for the right night to call,
 To tell her all the things I want to say. Falling slowly, 
She said, "I hope you want to get to know me", 
I do, 'cause I've got to find the reason why she said,

 S.O.S. and put me to the test,
 My heart was M.I.A., I tried it anyway,
 I’ve got to find some time to separate these crossing lines. Make up for lost time,
 I've been living on a fault line for years, 
I’ve got to get away from all these fears. The right words at the wrong time,
 Like jokes with the wrong punchlines, 
I know, I’ve got to find the reason why she said, S.O.S. and put me to the test,
 My heart was M.I.A., I tried it anyway,
 I’ve got to find some time to separate these crossing lines.

Well I saw you standing in the street, 
You were with your friends,
 I thought to myself should I say hello but that depends,
 Do I take my chances, I better make this work,
 'cause I want us to be together, be together because,

 You are definitely a perfect ten,
 And I hope that you like me enough to meet again,

 So I saw you standing at the bar,
 You had lost your friends,
 I thought about making a move when the next song ends,
 I know this is my one chance, but the music is so loud,
 I gotta choose the right words so I stand out from the crowd because,

 You are definitely a perfect ten,
 And I hope that you like me enough to meet again,

 Now my luck is changing with your number in my phone,
 I guess that I should thank your friends for leaving you alone, 
I know that I’ve been drinking but I knew that it felt right,
 I hope I get to see you for more than just one night. You are definitely a perfect ten,
 And I hope that you like me enough to meet again.

The fear is still a part of you,
 But you hide it so well. And if people shout, putting words in your mouth,
 Then get out, then get out, then get out. And if people have sung of the lies on your tongue,
 Then get out, then get out, then get out. They say that your loose lips might sink this ship,
 But you're good at keeping what you know. You say the right words just to stay afloat,
 But you can't predict the way the wind will blow. The secret's still a part of you, 
but you keep it so well. And if people shout, putting words in your mouth,
 Then get out, then get out, then get out. And if people have sung of the lies on your tongue,
 Then get out, then get out, then get out. They say that your loose lips might sink this ship,
 But you're good at keeping what you know. You say the right words just to stay afloat,
 But you can't predict the way the wind will blow. Say to me this ship's not lost at sea because I mean it. They say that your loose lips might sink this ship,
 But you're good at keeping what you know. You say the right words just to stay afloat,
 But you can't predict the way the wind will blow.

Distant Sun 04:18
Like the tide is guided by the moon,
 I feel my heart is guided by you, And I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
 To get myself over you,
 'cause you're the light in the dark,
 Yeah you're the flame and the spark,
 And I think of all the things we've done, 
As I'm waiting up for a distant sun, 
Waiting up for a distant sun. You can't ignore the laws of gravity, 
Like I can't ignore your powers over me,
 And I don't know how I'm supposed to feel,
 Now all I have is time to kill,
 'cause you're the beat of my heart, 
Yeah you're the end and the start,
 And I think of all the things we've done, 
As I'm waiting up for a distant sun,
 Waiting up for a distant sun. 

Waiting for the one and the distant sun,
 I will sing this song until morning comes.

5.
(Oh oh there's no letting go...) 

Tell me a story,
 one to remember, One I will never forget. Stick a pin in the map and then we'll go to that place, 
Somewhere that no one will know. 
Stop your pretending this can't be the ending, 
I know that there's much more to see. 
Now that I know that there's no letting go,
 Will you come back and stay here with me?

 Like hopeless romantics we'll cross the Atlantic,
 Searching for new air to breathe. The buildings are high-rise they're scrapping the skyline, 
In this city that never sleeps. Paint me a picture, one to remember, One I will never forget. Now that I know that there's no letting go,
 Will you come back and stay here with me?

Osaka Lights 03:27
On these dark November nights,
 Remember bright Osaka lights shining on. 
Do all you have to do, anything to get you through. Do you want to go out tonight?

 Now you're searching for a reason, 
Something to replace all that you've lost,
 Now that you feel lost again. And the tide is always changing, 
 Someday soon your ship will come back in,
 Your ship is coming in again. When there's nowhere left to run, 
Just think of bright Osaka sun shining on. 
Do all you want to do, 
Any thing to get you through. Do you want to come around tonight?

 Now you're searching for a reason, 
Something to replace all that you've lost,
 Now that you feel lost again. And the tide is always changing, 
 Someday soon your ship will come back in,
 Your ship is coming in again. Tonight, tonight just think of bright Osaka lights. Now you're searching for a reason, 
Something to replace all that you've lost,
 Now that you feel lost again. And the tide is always changing, 
 Someday soon your ship will come back in,
 Your ship is coming in again.

Sunrise 04:26
It’s almost 2am, I'm in this club again, 
Feeling better than I thought I would,
 I've never felt this good. '
cause the girl's in blue and white, 
(I know, I know, I know) 
I’m going home with her tonight 
(Tonight oh)
 We're gonna have some fun, 
(I know, I know, I know)
 Until the sun rises. Now it’s 3 o’clock and I don’t want to stop. Looking better than I thought she could, She's never looked so good. 
(She's never, she's never, she's never looked so good) '
cause the girl's in blue and white, 
(I know, I know, I know) 
I’m going home with her tonight 
(Tonight oh)
 We're gonna have some fun, 
(I know, I know, I know)
 Until the sun rises. 

Stay with me and we'll do everything. 
Come with me and you will see. '
cause the girl's in blue and white, 
(I know, I know, I know) 
I’m going home with her tonight 
(Tonight oh)
 We're gonna have some fun, 
(I know, I know, I know)
 Until the sun rises. 

Until the sun rises. 
(Stay with me all night)

In love and war I've broken every law. I've been trying to fight these feelings, 
trying to fight them

. Lines not crossed means everything's not lost. I've been trying to fight these feelings, 
trying to fight them

. I gave your name to every hurricane,
 That blows through my brain,
 And makes me feel again. Now you know I’m losing all control. I've been trying to fight these feelings, 
trying to fight them

. I gave your name to every hurricane,
 That blows through my brain,
 And makes me feel again. I've been trying to fight these feelings, 
trying to fight them

. I gave your name to every hurricane,
 That blows through my brain,
 And makes me feel again.

She's the girl the photo frame,
 The butterfly to my hurricane. 
I'm the stone that she threw away, 
 To start a tidal wave. 
I let the waves wash over me,
 Pull me in and drag me out to sea. That's when you're gonna find me and try to take me home. Don't be late, 
We'll navigate, 
With seven satellites. 
I heard you say,
 You know the way, 
With seven satellites, 
So take me home. 

She's the girl in the slideshow, 
That pulled me up then let me go, 
I'm the one freefalling without a parachute. I give myself to gravity,
 I feel the force rush over me,
 That's when you're gonna find me and try to break my fall. Don't be late, 
We'll navigate, 
With seven satellites. 
I heard you say,
 You know the way, 
With seven satellites, 
So take me home. I'm just a stone that's thrown in the sea,
 and you're the one that's gonna find me. 
Oh no, don't go, don't leave me alone, 
I need you here, I need to go home.
10.
This is where I hide,
 In the calm before the storm. Been here all my life,
 Since the day that I was born. What if all the stars fell into the sea? 
What if the whole sky fell in over me? 
What if the gun was loaded?
 What if the sun exploded and I never saw you again? What if I never saw you again? 

This city is a galaxy of light,
 Speeding cars are shooting stars tonight, If only I could find a way to make you stay forever. Don't wanna leave it until it's too late, 
I wanna be the one that makes you stay,
 Until the end of the world. What if all the stars fell into the sea? 
What if the whole sky fell in over me? 
What if the gun was loaded?
 What if the sun exploded and I never saw you again? What if I never saw you again? 

This city is a galaxy of light,
 Speeding cars are shooting stars tonight, If only I could find a way to make you stay forever. Don't wanna leave it until it's too late, 
I wanna be the one that makes you stay,
 Until the end of the world.
11.
You, on your way to me, Passing all the signs,
 Ignoring all the warning signals. Short, sharp electric shocks,
 With every single touch,
 Travel at the speed of light. Tonight all of our hearts unite,
 Bright light, all of the sparks ignite. Tonight our eyes are open wide,
 Bright lights flashing across the sky. Light dances through the night, 
Searching for our hearts,
 Searching for the midnight sparks, So put pennies on the eyes, 
Let it travel through the skies, 
Let it travel through the solar system. Tonight all of our hearts unite,
 Bright light, all of the sparks ignite. Tonight our eyes are open wide,
 Bright lights flashing across the sky. All around, all of us,
 All is turning into dust. All of you, all of me,
 All of everything you see. Tonight all of our hearts unite,
 Bright light, all of the sparks ignite. Tonight our eyes are open wide,
 Bright lights flashing across the sky.
