How’s your morning? Did you sleep tight? Get out of bed The sun is bright Get out of my dreams I couldn’t sleep all night I don’t know if it’s fine To feel like this as days go by But I will keep my distance from your heart Let’s say There’s no one else There’s no mistakes we’ve ever made Let’s live a lie Among the ones who care These days they’ve been so hard And I have tried but I’m so tired and scared ‘cause there is not enough time But it’s something I have chosen to be And there’s no way back To those days where I would be so happy And I can’t say goodbye Let’s say There’s no one else There’s no mistakes we’ve ever made Let’s live a lie Among the ones who care I don’t know if it’s fine To feel like this as days go by But I will keep my distance from your heart But it’s something I have chosen to be And there’s no way back To those days where I would be so happy And I can’t say goodbye

Would it be nice if I liked To take you out somewhere? I don't believe you really want to go outside with me But I know it'll be alright And if you want me to I will take you somewhere nice I will be there for a while I will tell how much I care about you and no one else Where would you like to go this time? What do you want to do? I really think we should be going to my house right now And leave what we must do for another time I've been waiting for these days I really hope you feel the same It doesn't matter how things change I love you more than I can say It is the first time I've felt this way But you know, that's okay And if your hair is green or blue, I really shouldn’t care Because you know, you know that I love you anyway I've been waiting for this day I really hope you feel the same It doesn't matter how things change I love you more than I can say
3.	Once Again (Forever) 03:19	lyrics	buy track
There’s something i wish I could do Last night I couldn’t find my own way through I cried like If I never wanted to Just a day feels like a year or two But I can only wait here For you to notice we did wrong And I can only wait here I’ll be here forever I’ll be here forever Let’s try it once again I don’t want to feel this pain Please stay here forever There’s something I wish we could do I regret all the words I told you I feel like falling deep, I was a fool I wish I could forget as you did too But I can only wish this You know that you have done wrong too And I can only wait here I’ll be here forever I’ll be here forever Let’s try it once again I don’t want to feel this pain Please stay here forever Please stay here forever ‘Cause I’ll love you forever
4.	En Este Lugar (ft. Emanuel Herrera) 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Sé que no vas a entender Porque no eres igual que ayer Mañana igual se va a arreglar Pero hoy nos tiene que doler Hoy no iré a tu casa Y sé que no vendrás a despertarme mañana Ni parece que lo vayas a intentar No lo vayas a intentar Esta vez Voy a intentar Algo para que ahora puedas ver Que todo está mal Esta vez Me voy a escapar Y dejarte solo por siempre En este lugar Una y otra vez lo ves Pero no alcanzas a entender Si una vez no es tan normal Dos va a estar igual de mal Una y otra vez lo ves pero sabes que al final Yo no tengo nada que ocultar Y no parece que lo quieras arreglar Ya no hay nada que arreglar Esta vez Voy a intentar Algo para que ahora puedas ver Que todo está mal Esta vez Me voy a escapar Y dejarte solo por siempre En este lugar
5.	Changes 05:34	lyrics	buy track
I see you cross the street and Now you look the other way To find the same mistakes You wave at me and Now you want to find another way To run away one last time The way you are and how you look and how you get along With everyone Has got me waiting in this cold bench for the fall to come On the summer gone Or the winter Or the lonely rainy days when we wore slippers. We were silly. For a fever Or the dreams we didn't reach 'cause we were not Believers The city will be always half asleep And always dreaming of the sea It changes all the time, do you see? It's been the same for you and me You got me waiting in this old couch for the fall to come Or the sun to fall Or a phone call From your mother asking for her beloved daughter Over and over For a door knock Or the things left undone 'cause we were not Real lovers. The city will be always half asleep And always dreaming of the sea. It changes all the time, you see? It's been the same for you and me

7.	Eventually 04:40	lyrics	buy track
At the front door she was crying, going upstairs She was leaving all the times and words that we shared At the front yard I was begging her not to leave She was leaving behind a whole world that we built Time will make us forget all the things that we did Time will make us stronger and our fears disappear But as long as we keep holding on to our hopes Time will make our hearts weaker as they get old But tell me how to mend a heart that's not there Tell me how to break a heart that's not even there In time she'll see it really wasn't our fault She will notice then an empty place at her room I will notice then an empty space at my bed Eventually we'll meet each other again But tell me how to mend a heart that's not there Tell me how to break a heart that's not even there Tell me how to mend a heart that's not there Tell me how to break a heart that's not even there And she said You should know by now that I don't care about the Path you take from now I know that you'll be alright You know that I'm just fine I can't promise anything but you know I'd try sometime
8.	Out of Time 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Is there any way To wake up not feeling the same? I look at all the things you left and And you're a little further now And all my memories fading away I miss you each and every day I look at a photograph I stole From the box you used before And you seem a little happier now But I don't know you anymore Sometimes it's hard to let you know Once in a while I try to find The deepest secrets of your mind But I can't No I can't As fast as I can try I'm looking for the light That got lost inside Inside your mind You said we would try tonight But now we're out of time And I can't get out I went to the place where we used to forget every word each other said And you seem a little closer now But I don’t know you anymore Sometimes it’s hard to let you know Oh oh I wish I could leave it all the same I wish I could have known
9.	Gone 05:15	lyrics	buy track
I don't know where to start You were the only one who knew You were the one who knew it all about me And now you look so tired You look like you've lived long enough To be running after me But no one should cry You should be sleeping right now I'll be gone for two days, no more But you know nothing's wrong I'll be home I like the paths you take Even if I don't know where to go You would always know the way back To the place we call home But you did get older You didn't know the way no more You didn't bark like you used to before But I know That you'd look better if you tried it But you wanna fight it No one's getting quiet But you wanna live in silence Surrounded by the violence Of a world you didn't know at all I miss you each and every night Since you passed away I try To remember what it was like To hear you run and bark all across The house And now that you're not here I feel the time it goes so slow I feel the time how it goes on and on And I know We're all getting older But as long as I am here I won't forget the times I shared with you And I know That you'd look better if you tried it But you wanna fight it No one's getting quiet But you wanna live in silence Surrounded by the violence Of a world you didn't know at all I miss you each and every night Since you passed away I try To remember what it was like To hear you run and bark all across The house
10.	Cities 06:22	lyrics	buy track
When you told me you were staying How much time did you really expect? Things have turned a little different Time has changed the way you look into my Eyes right now All the things I used to tell you had become a way to stay far away I can’t understand why you chose The best for me when it was the worst for us But now We just have to find a way out Maybe We will find each other around Yea now We just have to find a way out And maybe It won’t be the right way To stay away If there’s any way to tell you This was wrong and there isn’t a way back is by singing out loud this song At the front door of your cozy house But now We just have to find a way out Maybe We will find each other around Yea now We just have to find a way out And maybe It will be the right way To stay away I know you’ll be around in those cities That you told me you’ll visit When you get so much older And when you can’t remember Those days that we both used to love I’ll tell you “I miss you I need you, I wanna kiss you“ But I am gone now Your dry eyes told me more than your mouth could And I hope you feel sorry I was hurt and left bleeding in your house At your room where you told me It was over And I had to leave To a place I didn’t even know Don’t you wanna hold me Don’t you wanna see me Don’t you wanna be here anymore? Are you feeling lonely? Are you feeling tired? Are you trying harder than before? Don’t you wanna hold me Don’t you wanna see me Don’t you wanna be here anymore?
11.	Before Saying Goodbye 01:26	lyrics	buy track
This time I am trying so hard To let go of this Of this bad habit That only reminds me Of you I've been waiting for so long I've been waiting for so long for you But now it's time to say goodbye…
12.	Goodbye 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I've been wondering for so long Would you rather go than stay with us a while? You have so many friends you're leaving behind tonight I know you'd rather go than stay by my side But as long as you keep calling me every night I will know that you're just fine I know that you'll be alright on your own I know that you can always find your way home This time I am trying so hard I've missed you all along and now I'm so scared to talk This room is getting so lonely now Somehow I know that we will meet again sometime. And as long as you keep calling me every night You will know that I'm just fine I know that you'll be alright on your own I know that you can always find your way home
