1.	Burning The Tracks 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Something about it seems so meant to be Something about it's so twenty-first century Waiting in line for the time when a spark will show The night in my blood will take control We go burning into the night Never did it feel so right Couldn't slow down now if we wanted to Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide We're gonna collide Picking up speed headlong into the night When out of the darkness comes the guiding light Burning down the same tracks I'm heading straight for you Down the same tracks you been burning too We go burning into the night Never did it feel so right Couldn't slow down now if we wanted to Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide We're gonna collide Burning down the tracks cause you know I want you Burning down the same tracks you know I need you Burning down the same tracks going straight into the night Burning down the tracks, Burning down the tracks Burning down the tracks, Burning down the tracks Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide We're gonna collide
2.	Triggerfinger 03:32	lyrics	buy track
When the gunfight comes to town You know me I’ll be around and around I’m saying nothing but I’m watching every move When it comes the time to play I’m gonna play the cards I choose I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line Some other guy has got a diamond up his sleeve My honest cards were not enough and so I watch you leave The evening sun goes down and then I hit the road I guess it’s true, that he aint got the stuff, for carrying that load I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line My triggers fast, my bullets cold If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove Further up the road I see you waiting by the side His trick was not enough and it comes as no surprise Ten paces are about, as close as he would get Before my trigger finger puts a bullet in his chest, about time ’cause I’m gonna take what’s mine Gonna see you down the line My triggers fast, my bullets cold If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove

4.	We Were The Ones 03:27	lyrics	buy track
So tell me again, what it is In your eyes that I see now when I look at you That I know we’ll make it through We don’t know, what it takes But we learn from our mistakes and we’ll try again And again to be so good We were the ones who tried to make it When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string We had a way of surviving anything We were the ones We were the ones We met outside of the place Where we’d go at night to hide our own disgrace And that’s where I saw you You said I don’t think a lot Of anyone who tries to tell me what they got It’s all the same to me Lying trying much to hard to please It’s a waste of life and it don’t make you free We were the ones who tried to make it When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string We had a way of surviving anything We were the ones We were the ones
5.	Silent Picture Show 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Out in the street tonight, we walk Cool and undecided, tranquil and free I try not to let it show but my eyes Display a gentle hurting, what can that be High above the city lights we don’t talk About anything at all I wanna tell you what I think you know But you turn away, the last reminder falls The truth is such a struggle And in my mind there really aint no other But we’re living in a silent picture show I watch the light drift on your face I’m lost inside a glow that I cannot replace So long have we rehearsed this scene You stop to take a picture, my eyes deny me Fate plays the leading role and I don’t Expect to see you now Wanna tell you what I think you know But you turn away, the last reminder falls The truth is such a struggle, and in my mind There really aint no other But we’re living in a silent picture show We’re just living a silent picture show
6.	Shoulda Said Something 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Still remember the night when you said You found someone who's true You dedicated so many songs to him He wouldn't dedicate to you Well you can do anything you want But please don't tell me that it's fine You gotta shoot first or don't shoot at all Cause now is not the time You shoulda said something, no denying the truth You shoulda said something, what a lie he sold to you There's no smile on your face I'm watching something so good go to waste You shoulda said something, you shoulda said something You shoulda said He got his own band but you don't understand That that don't make him good This song will never be Mozart It's just three chords and the truth Well you can do anything you want But please don't hang me out to dry You gotta shoot first or don't shoot at all Cause now is not the time You shoulda said something, no denying the truth You shoulda said something, what a lie he sold to you There's no smile on your face I watch it sinking so low now, without a trace You shoulda said something, you shoulda said something You shoulda said You shoulda said something No denying the truth You Shoulda Said Something
7.	Nobody Wants To Know 03:15	lyrics	buy track
You don’t wanna find, there’s something going on And you ain’t on the inside You try so hard to get yourself in But the game you’re playing, it is fixed til the end You try so hard still nobody wants to know Trouble is a place and this is where it’s gonna show You try so hard still nobody wants to know You try so hard still nobody wants to know You don’t wanna find All that you been sold is just a lie What you gonna do when you find that all along You been tricked those dirty days aint gone You try so hard still nobody wants to know Trouble is a place and this is where it’s gonna show You try so hard still nobody wants to know You try so hard still nobody wants to know
8.	Song of Lust 03:26	lyrics	buy track
The nights are starting to mix with the days The world is turning but it seems just like I just don’t relate Whatever happened to that? Sometimes I feel like I’ve been broken in two How come the pieces seem to live and die and breathe for you? Whatever difference that makes… I’m trying hard to understand this change I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you Night after night it seems I’m losing my mind Out in the street we meet and still it seems so new every time But am I losing my mind? Sometimes I feel as though I’m shifting on sand I thought I made my mind, but then I find it’s true that I can’t It’s been a long long time I’m trying hard to understand this change I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you I’m trying hard to understand this change I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know No matter what I do No matter what I do No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you
9.	Someone's Love on Drugs 03:38	lyrics	buy track
People asking question's but they don't have the time To hear that something good is on the line Right place, wrong time, take a good look around Tonight there aint no justice to be found The place you're in don't tell no lies It aint cheap but the smoke gets in your eyes It wasn't long ago we used to spend the nights Sharing songs about this life Someone's love on drugs by candle light Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright I know it's been two years and things are going fine But please don't think that you don't cross my mind You're gonna say it to me one more time But I don't even think that I can feel surprised Its not the problem that you don't call But tonight you aint making any sense at all You say it's perfect but it's suicide Those things don't seem to ever cross my mind Well maybe linger, maybe fade into the light But this aint a case of wrong or right Someone's love on drugs by candle light Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright I know it's been two years and things are going fine But please don't think that you don't cross my mind Someone's love on drugs by candle light Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright I know it's been two years and things are going fine But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
10.	Letter From Abroad 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Moving along, the banks are so cold and it’s true There’s a far away note, from a far away song, and it’s you Wanna tell you how my luck has run dry Wanna tell you how I’m losing my mind, it’s over you Through the nightly drone, I’m counting all the days going by I hope you’re doing well, and my stories from the road still make you smile Please don’t tell me I been wasting all my time Through these backroads, and the coldest of nights For something good My letter from abroad, sits so proudly my coat as I arrive With every single word, of every single line that I memorised I can’t hear through people shuffling around I see your face, as you’re walking through the crowd It’s coming true
