Bump and Grind
(MacLennan/Toma)
I can’t figure out / should I sink or shout
All my friends are slaves / and there’s no doubt
Everybody moves on / still I stay here
Waiting for you
I gotta have a plan / I gotta make someone I talk to my friend
Everybody seems to know you / Everybody needs to see you in a different light
The light will shine on you…
Walking in to see your stage show / watch you bump and grind
Every time I let it slide / I lose a piece of my mind
Everybody needs to see you in a different light
The light will shine on you x2
Can I touch your face / or would that be rude
Everything inside me wants to reach for you
Did I say that / Can they hear me
Am I ever getting through / to you
The light will shine on you…

Requests Denied
(MacLennan/Toma)
Hey you / Can you make me a sandwich
‘Cause I’m hungry and I’m lazy and I wanna stay in bed
You said you liked me / How d’you like that?
Hey you / Can you make me some coffee?
‘Cause I’m thirsty and I’m tired and my legs are painted on
You said you liked me / Do you like me now?
How do you like me now
Hey you / Have you done any laundry?
‘Cause I’m filthy and I’m hopeless and I need a pair of pants
You said you loved me / Do you love me now?
How do you like me now?
You said you loved me / How do you like me now?
Is this not what you signed up for?
Do you not wanna do us anymore?
Is it not what you thought it would be?

Mr. Inbetween (Granted Everything Changes)
(MacLennan/Richardson)
I play percentages / I’m not what I seem
Ever since I’ve lost you / I’m Mr. Inbetween
I lay a place for you on my right-hand side
Call it pride
Feeling is believing / And it’s something so strong
There’s an ache in my heart and it waits so long
To let go of my dreams / that are carved in the stone
Saying never let me go
And when the night comes calling
We never know where we’re going now
And the feeling comes that we want somehow
You always were the one who replaces everything I know of now
And the feeling comes….you’re around somehow
I play percentages / I’m not what I’ve seen
Ever since I lost you / I’m Mr Inbetween
I lay a place for you on my right-hand side
Call it pride
I gotta get myself now back of the ground
Feel the pain ‘cause I know that it’s going around
Make a change / gotta live I'll be left behind
And you know what I’m saying
I don’t know where I am / something is going now
The wind still blows but everything’s changing
And I don’t feel that I can let you go
I know it now / but you're a dream aloud
The streets and the roads that we both ran down
Now the tears on my face they ain’t no disgrace
That’s the way it is
I’m out of time with my rhyming in a restless town
But I know that you’re always around
A beautiful soul everybody knows / I’m a better man for knowing
I don’t know where I am / something is going now
The wind still blows but everything’s changing
And I don’t feel that I can let you go
Every time the night comes calling / I don’t know where my heart goes now
Don’t believe in ghosts / ‘cause everybody knows
You always made a difference / I didn’t ever want to realise it now
That away from you it’s so easy to cry

Passive and/or Aggressive
(MacLennan/Toma)
People passing by / Doing their own thing
Makes me wonder why / I am wondering
When it gets quiet thoughts are harder to ignore
In case you’re wondering
My edges blur til you can’t see me anymore
Can’t look me in the eye / but who it keeping score
Not me
‘Cause all I want is one straight answer
Just one dance, yea?
When I ask you a question / won’t you say something
Great answer / can you tell me when we get there
Will you wake me up x2
I havent always been here / for you / for you / for you
And I wonder when you look at me / do you see somebody else
See somebody else who looks like her
You can’t see how hard I try / Take your time while you decide
Don’t think I’ll be satisfied this time unless you cry
Here we go
And all that I can think of / is you can’t hear a thing I say
Would you just keep talking at me if I turned and walked away
Just leave you standing there
Have you seen me anywhere
‘Cause all I want is one straight answer
Just one dance, yea?
When I ask you a question / won’t you say something
Great answer / can you tell me when we get there
Will you wake me up x2
I haven’t always been here for you
for you
for you
And I wonder when you look at me / do you see somebody else
It doesn’t matter how many times you lose
Go and open any door you choose
‘Cause in the end / we can all pretend
And I wonder when you look at me / do you see somebody else
See somebody else who looks like her

Smack Down
(MacLennan)
You think life is hard now / just try me
I’ll show you all the pain inside
I don’t know why I dance for you / I always play the fool
I don’t know why I change for you / your aim is true
I don’t know why I dance with you / but you always do
There’s a light outside for you / Light outside for you
I hope nobody sees me shaking / to this shit my lips are taking
Staring at the sun / I close my eyes / forgetting everyone
But it keeps me hanging on
I don’t know why I dance for you / I always play the fool
I don’t know why I wait for you /
I don’t why dance with you / well, looks like you do
There’s a ligh outside for you / light outside for you
Wander back to where we started / On the slide And broken-hearted
Panic builds inside / I can’t look back / I’ve got nowhere to hide
But it keeps me hanging on
I don’t know why I dance for you / I always play the fool
I don’t know why I wait for you / win or lose
I don’t why dance with you / who knows why you do
There’s a lot outside for you / light outside for you
When I’m staring at the facts / spread between the sheets of lies
I’ll be sure to disappoint / all the hopes you keep inside/ all the dreams you kissed goodbye
Was there something in my past / that was never built to last
Are you waiting just like me / for the dog to have its day / for the parting of the sea

Between the Lines
(MacLennan/Toma)
Thought you knew it all
Can’t get a grip and every step goes down the rabbit hole
You gotta move towards the light / that’s the best advice you’ve heard
But it’s getting dark / and you can’t see much / and all the lines are blurred
All the lines are blurred
Can you see the way I hide / I know there’s a price to pay
Every time you walk away / from me
Thought you knew the way
If you haven’t worked it out by now get on your knees and pray
Wish you knew where to step / to make sure no one gets hurt
But it’s real dark now / and you can’t see a thing / and all the lines are blurred
Can you see the way I hide / I know there’s a price to pay
Every time you walk away / from me
x2
Thought you knew the score
To stay ahead should be easy now / it’s harder than before
You take the first and second hurdle fine / but you stumble on the third
Because it’s pitch-black dark / and you can’t see a thing / and all the lines are blurred
All the lines are blurred
Can you see the way I hide / I know there’s a price to pay
Every time you walk away / from me
x2

Flying Blind (Pub Urge)
(MacLennan/Toma)
You’re always on the run / getting so much done for everyone
To see / your life / is just like on TV
You are the leader of the pack / say when and we’ll attack with glee for you
We love it when we laugh / we laugh when we’re with you
And every day / I pray / that I will know
But there’s one thing I can’t tell
If it’s space / and time / you can’t erase
Just step off and free your soul
Let yourself go / Let yourself go
A cut snake wide awake / for our sake we just need a break from you
You’re out / that’s cool / But I’ll need a lift to school
And every day / I pray / that I will know
But there’s one thing I can’t tell
If it’s space / and time / you can’t dictate
Just step off and heal your soul
Let yourself go / Let yourself go
Every day / I pray / that you will go
In your sleep and in no pain
In the end / we’ve lost our best friend
We must all fend for ourselves

Black Toxic Moods
(MacLennan/Toma)
I really thought that you were done with me
You broke my heart / you disappeared
You left me on the floor
Now you’ve got something for me
I always knew that you were down with me
I just can’t take your sympathy
Now that I’ve found that you have something for me
I’ve heard that one before
Just leave it by the door
You never say you’re sorry / it’s always up to me
Now who are you to tell me / I’ve got nothing for you
You never had to worry / worry about anyone but you
And now your time is up / now you got something for me
One thing I know for sure (And you always will)
Can’t take it anymore (Such a bitter pill)
I’ve met your kind before (Watch this imbecile)
Just leave it by the door (I’m walking out the door)
With a sledgehammer blow / my ego explodes across the room
If the world ends with you / and no one survives / I’ll know it’s true
Well this time you’re screwed / with your black toxic moods / and the games you play
Go find yourself (I’ve heard that one before)
I’m leaving you (Just leave it by the door)

She’s Comming Over
(MacLennan)
Mirrors always seem to fit / all the lines on my face
We go back such a long time
To a palace on a hill / frozen in time
On a street of your town, baby
She’s made up her mind / he’s out of her mind
She’s coming over / She’s coming over
I didn’t know that you had plans / when you took off your dress
All I saw was the emptiness
As I stood there I could tell / we could all just go to hell
The one she was living in
When I said that we were through / I didn’t mean (feel?) it / that’s the truth
I was just your reflection
I am just a reflection
Reflections in the street / (I see) / Staring back at me / (Disbelief)
Reflections in the street / (Repeat) / All I see is you / (Back to me)
Reflections in the street / Staring back at me
(Wasted on me / Wasted on me)
I’m walking down your street / All I see is me
She’s made up her mind / he’s out of her mind
She’s coming over / she’s coming over
Decades passed/ Lessons learned
Through the eyes of the obsessed
I confess / I have always been
I always dream of you at night / I rescue you and the we fight
Just like lovers do
You’re so peaceful when you sleep / we could stay this way forever
It was just a reflection
I am just a reflection
I am just a reflection
Reflections in the street / (I see) / Staring back at me / (Disbelief)
Reflections in the street / (Repeat) / All I see is you / (Back to me)
Reflections in the street / Staring back at me
(Wasted on me / Wasted on me)
I’m walking down your street / All I see is me
She’s made up her mind / he’s out of her mind
She’s coming over / she’s coming over

Instant Island Romance
(MacLennan/Richardson)
If I was / If I was / the last one standing at the end of the world
Would you stand with me / take a chance with me / maybe dance with me
Just because
I remember all the little things / you say and do
That get me through when we’re not working
If you want me / I’ll be around / I’ll think of everything
With your heart in mind / wish it was all mine
Walking through / a midnight view
Just you and me
It’s because you are / it’s because you are / it’s because you’re beautiful / you’re beautiful
If I was / If I was
I’d be walking through the fire / giving up on winter
Hoping we don’t have our signals crossed
Just so you know
It’s because you are / it’s because you are / it’s because you’re beautiful / you’re beautiful x3

Safe Hands
(MacLennan/Toma)
Blindsided / Left breathless
Shaking in my boot so I can hardly stand
I don’t run when I’m in your hands
Blood rushing / am I blushing
The room is crushing me / but I know if I fall
I’ll be in safe hands / with you
Freaking out is kinda fun / when you got my back
Let’s go have a good time now / we’ll bring the demons breathing down your neck
You’ll see it’s easy / just like flying
You throw yourself down / and you hope you’ll miss the ground
Can’t be scared now / not with you around
I’m in good hands with you / looks like the gloves are off
I’m in good hands with you / and there’s no need to act tough now
Because
I’m in safe hands with you
I’m in safe hands with you
I can see you cringing / ‘cause it’s cheesy but it’s true
I’m in safe hands with you
When I thought you won’t be around / opened my eyes and found
You’re still standing there
Blood rushing / am I blushing
The room is crushing me / but I know if I fall
I’ll be in safe hands / with you
I’m in safe hands with you
I’m in safe hands with you
I can see you cringing / ‘cause it’s cheesy but it’s true
I’m in safe hands with you
