wake up in the morning before the sun's in the sky
you've got your head in the clouds
and the stars in your eyes
and all you wanna do is get out of here
ride the train in the desert til your home disappears
but with money baby your chained to this rock
work in a grossery store counting the stock
but some how you know your gonna survive
ride the road out of town and spread your wings wide
dancing
drinking
laughing
cheating
crying
trying
buying
lying
its hard to clime the mountain when your trying to run
take it one step at a time and try to have some fun
and people dont help us they just wanna get by
try to keep you down in each job that you try
with all the money you saved, you can get on that train
if you don't look back, you'll never see it again
theres no turning back when theres no where to run
so start your life now and aim for the sun
dancing
drinking
laughing
cheating
crying
trying
buying
lying
you should be living the life that you want to
you should be living the way that you want to

Forget your name
Forget mine too
Where do you come from?
Where are you going to?

Come on reach the sun, lets be like Icarus,
If you aim so high no one can follow us
Come on, every body, come on needs somebody.

Step out on the balcony
Stand upon the wall
Feel the wind in your hair
Fantasise about the fall
Wake up late in a field
Is this the end of it all?
No where to turn or place to run
Each day we risk it all
Are you trying
Too hard
To be free
To loose our guards
Are you trying
Too hard
To be free
In my arms
And you want to feel this way now
And you want to feel this way now
And you want to feel this way now
And you want to feel this way now

Robjn - Apricot Sunrise
03:02

First step off the train
Lasers in my brain
apricot sunrise
in your eyes
take the keys, get in the car
a full tank, yes we could go far
cats eyes, flashing and we’re gone
a mixtape of our favourite songs
you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
about the picture - the picture
you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
about the picture - the pictures
the film that you took
i threw my heart in the swimming pool
i threw out everything i knew
drove out in the pouring rain
never to be seen again
i threw my heart in the swimming pool
dove in to be with you
climbed out and found you’d gone
wondered what was going on
you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
about the picture - the picture
you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
about the picture - the pictures
you saw the blood moon
first step off the train
lasers in my brain
apricot sunrise
in your eyes
you saw the blood moon

Robjn - Every Road
03:24

Here, come to the sun
Come to the sea
Come to the place
And embrace me
For we are old
For we are young
For we’ve forgot
Where we’ve come from
And every road, every sea, brings my home
Right back to me
Nowhere belongs, no dreams come true.
But here i am, standing with you.
Deep down in the earth
Is where we’ll toil
Forever more,
In love in the soil
For we are old
For we are young
For we forgot
Where we’ve come from
And every road, every sea, brings my home
Right back to me
Nowhere belongs, no dreams come true.
But here i am, standing with you.

You’re flirting with the mirror again
Oh my heart weighs heavy down low
And the crying, i turn rivers for you
You’re drowning and there’s nothing i can do

wake up, fall apart,
get together and start over a-new
working, broken heart
make believing. forgotten all about you
why don’t you break my heart
tear it apart,
make my world come down to the ground
wake up, fall apart,
get together and start over a-new
thinking about the past
trying to think, about who was fooling who
why don’t you break my heart
tear it apart,
make my world come down to the ground
what would you do if you were me
would you see what you wanted see
would you see things from my point of view
or would you do exactly what you wanted to
wake up, fall apart,
get together and start over a-new
working, broken heart
make believing. forgotten all about you
wake up, fall apart,
get together, who’s really fooling who
you said ‘I can’t give you what you need'
but I don’t know who you want me to be
you said ‘I can’t give you what you need'
but I don’t know who the fuck you want me to be
what do you want from me baby,
what do you want from me baby,
why don’t you think about that
why don’t you think about that
and I get old
and I get old
and older, older, older again
another year passes by
but nothing happens
nothing happens
and no I don’t mind you wasting my time
and I get old
and I get old
and older, older, older again
another year passes by
but nothing happens
nothing happens
and no I don’t mind you wasting my time
you’re wasting my time
and nothing happens, and nothing happens.
and no I don’t mind you wasting my time.

What is inside your heart love
Do you have a heart for me
Throw it all upon the fire
Won’t you tell me you dont belong to me
Just let it all go
Just let the time fade
It’s only ten years and a day
Just let it all go
And behind the window
Is a memory of yesterday
Is a memory of yesterday
And i know i've acted stupid
But i always looked stupid to me
When life is viewed retrospective
We can’t erase what we came to be.
Just let it all go now
Just let the time fade away
It’s only ten years and a day
It’s only ten years and a day yesterday
Just let it all go
And behind the window
Is a memory of yesterday
Is a memory of yesterday

Like a deer in headlights
your cameras flash into my eyes
you need to get you're story
so come tell me that you love me
you want to put the breaks on
you want to get your close up shot
you want to make me roadkill
you chase me then you stop
we are the hunted
we are the hunted hunters
we are the hunted hunters tonight
we are the hunted hunters
on city streets or in the moonlight
we are the hunted hunters tonight
no place to go
except into the limelight
we are the hunted
we are the hunted
and you think you know were to go
and you think you know what to do
and you think you're oh so cleaver but i, i'm always two steps in front of you
like fear in headlights
like the flashing of my eyes
like the hitting of my break light
i go and stop the lies
you want to put the breaks on
you want to get your close up shot
you go and make me roadkill
you chase me then you stop

Tick Tock
Hole in my heart
Where I lost you
Hole in my soul
Without you
Got to get you back
Someday Soon
It’s always someday soon.
Hole in my heart
Time will pass away
Time will pass away
