Your Pillow 02:44
lyrics

Don’t want your love Just want your pillow I wanna dream About a love that could’ve been About a love that should’ve been Had we tried Had we cried One less tear Don’t want your world Just want your pillow I wanna dream About our world that should’ve been About our world that could’ve been Filled with blue skies Filled with sunshine But thunder pulled us under Don’t want your touch Just want your pillow I wanna dream About a boy I used to know Don’t want your touch Just want your pillow I wanna dream About a boy I used to know About a boy who used to know How to fluff my pillow How to fluff my pillow About a boy I used to know About a boy I used to know I loved you so

Life is hard To struggle is the one way through So you tell yourself As it’s been told to you Life is hard To dream is the way of fools So you tell yourself As it’s been told to you But is it true for you? Lay the worry down Lay the worry down The load you carry’s not your own Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down The sky is falling To look down is the one way through So you tell yourself As it’s been told to you The sky is falling To look up is the way of fools So you tell yourself As it’s been told to you But is it true for you? Lay the worry down Lay the worry down The load you carry’s not your own Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down The load you carry’s not your own Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down Lay the worry down

Grace surely guides my way As I pack my bag, as I board that plane There’s no hurry or delay As now is my time, as now the sky is my place Oh, Aeroplane Get me high ‘Cus oh I wanna go and let go and so become the sky Become the sky Fear it grounded my dreams to where I gave up too soon, I got to goin’ nowhere As I gaze below now upon my new world Heights I once feared, heights this day I dare Oh, Aeroplane Get me high ‘Cus oh I wanna go and let go and so become the sky Become the sky Mama, as I look around I see above the clouds And thoughts I saw as always I see now were only worries Papa, as I look from here I see blue and clear Yes, I can see a new day I see now I can make my own way I see now I can make my own way I see now I can make my own way Look, Mama, no hands as I make my own way Look, Papa, no hands as I make my own way Oh, Aeroplane Get me high ‘Cus oh I wanna go and let go and so become the sky Become the sky

Mean Old Man 03:25
lyrics
Mr. So Right, how do you get it so wrong? I’m not the only one who sees I’m just one who tells you like it is You fuss and fuss and fuss some more It’s your way or there’s nothing for it Keep fussin’ and before you know it You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man Mr. So Right, how is it you’re left so alone? I’m not the only one who sees I’m just one who tells you like it is You fight and fight to hold your lines But a guarded heart’s not a loving kind Keep fightin’ and soon you’ll find You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You fuss and fuss and fuss some more It’s your way or there’s nothing for it Keep fussin’ and before you know it You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You’re gonna make a mean old man You don’t have to be You don’t have to be A Mean Old Man

So Many Ways 04:43
lyrics
First it’s a yes Then it’s a no Then it’s maybe, baby First you’re hot as summer Then frigid as winter Then you’re any way the winds may be You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways Yet so few to your heart You say you want love But it’s never enough It’s not cinematic You say you want a hand But all offers you shun It’s not your perfect You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways Yet so few to your heart There was a time when life was grand We held hands And took the long way home Then it became your way or the highway Is that any way to love? To love? To love? You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways You’ve got so many ways Yet so few to your heart

Freedom 03:26
lyrics
When I think of you I get beside myself Have to remind myself You’re sweet, Freedom For you I don’t wanna lose what I’ve got But I’m lost in parts When I’m not who I am Freedom Sweet Freedom When I feel you I go inside myself Have to remind myself You’re sweet, Freedom For you I don’t wanna break my heart But I’m broken in prison When I’m not open When I live my truth I am myself And know inside myself You’re sweet, Freedom For you I allow what moves my heart And what’s not for me I leave And begin again Freedom Sweet Freedom
