Marathon runner Self assured lover Dedicated mother Man undercover Righteous preacher Who knows what he believes in High class hooker Who works on the streets And if I could be you You could be me Homeless beggar Man who reads the weather Newspaper seller Urban city dweller Stay at home woman Who cooks and does the cleaning Office worker Who lives for the weekend If I could be you You could be me If I could be you You could be me We are the same (I know you’ll know me if you try) Just people with people’s names (Can we swap places for a while?) Let me look inside of you (You took my thoughts, I stole your mind) Let me stand in your shoes (Now we’re one and the same kind) Born to be a winner Self confessed sinner Born again believer Satellite receiver Underpaid worker With no place to sleep in The next big thing Who thinks he’s really something If I could be you You could be me If I could be you You could be me If I could be you You could be me

All that’s inside of you The same as it’s been Airplanes and oceans Can’t change what’s within Nothing’s familiar It’s all in the haze Just close your eyes a while And remember the days What could be hiding Under the tree? Find out tomorrow What it might be Looking for silence It never comes Put on your headphones Comfortably numb What could be waiting Over the sea? Find out tomorrow What it might be Well I’m no longer waiting I’ve found far too much But you’re all I could ask for And real to the touch Well I’m no longer waiting I’ve found far too much But you’re all I could ask for And real to the touch

Meant To Be 04:11
Once upon a time when baby you was born Maybe you're a daughter or maybe you're a son You grew up fast and now you're getting on Now you know that life doesn't last long at all You thought you’d be happy as long as you save enough Money in the bank to have a holiday A pension adding up to retire one day To buy a nice house and then you’d have it all Maybe now you’re happy Maybe now you see It’s not meant to be Whenever you die will you be happy with your life? Will you have done all the things that you thought you’d try? Will you look back at all the days you spent on earth And wonder whether it was really worth it at all? Maybe now you’re happy Maybe now you see It’s all meant to be Maybe now you’re happy Maybe now you see It’s not meant to be Maybe now you’re happy Maybe now you see It’s not meant to be

What if they never came out to greet you? How’d you think you’d be out there on your own? Alone, just a livin’ breathin’ contradiction You’re tall, you’re strong but you’re not fully grown What if your watch just stopped its ticking And you asked for help but no one would? You’d search for new kinds of motivation Counting your steps, tryin’ to force for good No one proclamation is gonna lead you to the destination No wonder she ain’t got your back The secret’s out and you can’t hide behind your emerald curtain Just one day closer to the heart attack Just one day closer to the heart attack What if they broadcast your confession? And all the critics left you out to dry You’re not unique, you settle for illusions Try this now, you know it gets you high No one proclamation is gonna lead you to the destination No wonder she ain’t got your back The secret’s out and you can’t hide behind your emerald curtain Just one day closer to the heart attack Just one day closer to the heart attack What if you wake up cold and sweating? Was this done to you or should you blame yourself? She can’t provide you with an explanation You’ve just discovered all your hidden wealth

I ask not for wealth i don’t ask for praise I ask not for power Or for length of days I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come And it feels like a home I don't ask for much I'm not what i’ve got But if i could ask For just one thing I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come And it feels like a home I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come I want only a quiet place Where my friends can come Where my friends can come And open the door And open the door And it feels like a home And it feels like a home And it feels like a home

Scarlet 03:44
They can’t win the war ‘Cause no one knows the score You've got too far to go Yeah, you've got too far to go You all look the same Ready, fire, aim Scarlet on the snow Yeah, scarlet on the snow Each and every one Trigger to the gun Tame the tiger son Each and every one Now the day is done The time has surely come Raise your glasses high We cannot tell a lie! Each and every one Trigger to the gun Tame the tiger son Each and every one
