I don't believe in passing opportunity by
I don't believe in living just for yourself.
I don't believe in searching for something
That deep down you know isn't there.
I don't believe in letting friends float away.
I don't believe in putting in no effort.
I don't believe in crying over someone
That never really meant that much.
I do believe in the power within myself.
I do believe in the soul which I have.
I do believe in a future that's all mine.
I do believe in me.
It's not about living just for today.
It's not about living for tomorrow.
It's about living for now and each moment.
I do believe in the power within myself.
I do believe in the soul which I have.
I do believe in a future that's all mine.
I do believe in me.
I don't believe in procrastination
I don't believe in living all alone
Yet sometimes it happens.

It's been awhile since someone was here
Beside me in this bed of fear.
Not that I had reasons to be scared
The pain I felt could have been bared.
But here you are filling the hole.
Giving that bit extra to my soul.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay.
Don't ask me to stay with you
Because I know I'm someone
Have to find out who.
You've shown me what it means to be
Something I often cannot see.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay.
You've often said you wish you could fly.
So you could be there when they cry.
Those girls that you have had before
In me there was something else you saw.
Don't play that bullshit game.
I know I'm just exactly the same.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay
. Don't walk away.
Don't walk away
I do want you to stay.

Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
The rain falls gently around my feet
And I'm standing here, all alone.
For the first time you're not here
To guide me, protect me from harm.
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
The soft splash on my teary face
Takes me away to you.
A place where there is only us
And the gentle pitter patter
Of the rain.
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
Drip Drip Drop
I miss you baby.
I miss you baby
You'll never come back.
I'll miss you anyway.

Crawling on the window pane
Lifeless, just sitting, waiting there
Plotting it doesn't move
And neither does he.
My darling spins the web of hurt
The web of pain and much deceit
He traps his prey gains victory
The spider spins its web
And so does he.
Interwoven tiny strands
Reflecting colour from the sun
It traps all those victims.
Innocent.
Beautiful
But Dangerous.
Silent It makes its move to trap it's prey.
Silent
It ignores my presence.
Focused it just moves on
And so does he.
My darling spins the web of hurt
The web of pain and much deceit.
He traps his prey gains victory
The spider spins its web
And so does he.
Interwoven tiny strands
Reflecting colour from the sun
It traps all those victims.
Innocent.
Beautiful
But Dangerous.
I don't know where to run.
I don't know where to run.
I don't know where to run.
The spider spins its web.
Slippery the silky web is now complete.
A boundary has been created.
Lifeless the victim lies helpless on the floor.
He has won.
He has won.
He has won.
He has won.

Twas a sunny day
Think it was Sunday.
I'd had a really shitty time in ol' Paris.
Stepped off the plane.
Smelled fresh air.
There was blue sky everywhere.
I arrived at Gothic Point.
Dropped all my bags and slowly looked around.
The walls were bright green,
The Spanish looked unclean
And there were five different times on the wall
Those crazy Spanians.
Hasta Manana.
See ya tomorra.
I'm in Barcelona with a whole bunch of people
I've never met before.
I met George - this dreadlocked lunatic
He really knew how to dance the night away.
He was all just skin & bones,
Covered it with baggy clothes
But he knew how to tickle my funny bone.
So did Tom – crazy curly haired boy.
He's at least 6 foot 3 and he's also kinda sweet
And he's not too afraid, to sing for me.
Hasta Manana
See ya tomorra
I'm in Barcelona with a whole bunch of people
I've never met before.
Don't look back.
Forever moving on.
Don't look back.
At least we'll have this song.
Hasta Manana.
See ya tomorra.
I'm in Barcelona with a whole bunch of people
I've never met before.

I don't care for fancy dress,
Fast cars or ferris wheels.
You know me inside and out
We can speak without...speaking.
It's one of those things I never had to say
But you know I look forward
To every day I see you
And every time I hold you in my arms
It's never long enough.
And every time I see you
It's never long enough.
Don't say you'll never go away.
Don't say you'll never lead me astray.
Don't say you'll never go...away.
You could say we're moving too fast
Or too slow.
Just set the pace and I'll follow.
I know that soon it'll all have to end
And something begin again.
But that's how life goes.
That's how life flows.
Don't say you'll never go away.
Don't say you'll never lead me astray.
Don't say you'll never go...away.
I could write a story with no end.
I could write the future if I had a pen
But I don't wanna waste time.
I'll just hold you while I can.
I don't care for fancy dress,
Fast cars or ferris wheels.
You know me inside and out
We can speak without...

You say Hello and I start to shiver.
You say Hello and I gently quiver.
Ooo does the night have to crush me.
Ooo does the dark blanket of evening's song
Have to frighten me so...
You said
"Time doesn't matter
I could wait forever".
but I'm standing here alone
Just waiting for a word from you.
I'm not wasting another day.
You ripped my heart out
And tied it to a string.
It's been so long since
The day you told me
You want to hold me in your arms.
Ooo I guess I'm all alone now.
Ooo I guess the dark blanket of evening's song
Will have to frighten me so...
You said
"Time doesn't matter
I could wait forever".
But I'm standing here alone
Just waiting for a word from you.
I'm not wasting another day.
Can you feel my heart ache?
Can you feel my heart ache?
Evening's song.
Evening's song.
You said
"Time doesn't matter
I could wait forever".
