"2 A.M."
(from "Songs From Instant Star Four" soundtrack)



[VERSE 1:]
Snow falls on the city
white on white
It's the color of hope
on an unforgiving night
you kissed me into ruins
sin on sin
now i've gotta love your love letters
written on my skin

[CHORUS:]
I can't tell the stars from the downtown lights
If i said I was truly over you
my heart would say amen
but I'd give in to the cold caress of 2 am.
If I admit I can't get used to this
will my heart break again?
as i fall into the waiting arms of 2 AM

[VERSE 2:]
someone's scratchy music through the walls.
sirens weavin' thru the streets
i must have missed your call
gathering up these nights
black on black
i know your voice like it's my own
and it makes my heart go slack

[CHORUS:]
I can't tell the stars
From the downtown lights
If I said I was truly over you
My heart would say amen
But I give in to the cold caress of 2 AM
If I admit I can't get used to this
Will my heart break again?
As I fall
Into the waiting arms of 2 AM

Oh
If I said I was truly over you
My heart would say amen
But I give in to the cold caress of 2 AM
If I admit I can't get used to this
Will my heart break again?
As I fall
Into the waiting arms of 2 AM
Of 2 AM

"24 Hours"
(from "Songs From Instant Star" soundtrack)



I've been sitting in the dirt (for 24 hours)
I've forgotten what im worth (for 24 hours)
Said that you'd be here last night

I'm trying to shake you from my skin (for 48 hours)
Clean up this mess i've been put in (for 48 hours)
I'm guessing you can't always win
I'm guessing you can't always win

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

I'm not so trustful with my friends
I'm on the road alone again
I guess im tired of giving in

I'm sick of wishing you were near
You've gone your way, you've made it clear
Why do I feel you everywhere?
Why do I feel this everywhere?

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

Don't wanna spend my time
Watching the world go by
I think I'd rather die
And I dont got a plan
Don't wanna justify
To stay where I stand
Something I won't deny

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone

24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours

It's only gunna get better
It's only gunna get right
Cause when I borrow your sweater

Cause I got one foot in your door
And when you told me you love me (Let's go!)

Yeah, a little bit of lovin' goes a long way
All I ever needed was a little bit of lovin'
Yeah, a little bit of lovin' goes a long way
All I ever needed was a little bit of love
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love

It's only gunna get crazy
If you let me get get away

It's only gunna get messy
If you ain't got dirt on your floor
And when you told me you want me
I want you more, yeah I want you more

Cause all I ever needed was a little bit of lovin'
Yeah, a little bit of lovin' goes a long way
All I ever needed was a little bit of lovin'

All I ever needed was a little bit of love
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love

"A War Going On"
(from "The Dishwasher" soundtrack)



There's a war going on
Not just out the door
It's inside your soul
You can't take no more

I see damage from the pain
Poison in the rain
Nothing stays the same
On a shaky train

There's a light within the dark
A willingness to start
A whisper in the trees
A courage on your knees

But you've heard it all before
And it's boring now, I'm sure
Got the heart to make it through
Cause it's beating inside you

Little rested, maybe painful
You've been hypnotized
Even goodness lies
There's a thin disguise

And I know you've lost some friends, yeah I do
Eating from silver spoons
Say goodbye at noon
Thought she'd be back soon

I see damage from the pain
Poison in the rain
Because nothing stays the same
You can try to break the chain

But there's a light within the dark
A willingness to start
A whisper in the trees
A courage on your knees

There's a war going on
There's a war going on

"Aftermath"


Let us crash and burn
Religious ones will pray
These pieces of you here
You left me, are still staying

Don't know what I'm saying
Or how to bring you back
And just like my youth
I'll be living with the aftermath

Who I was back then
I barely recognize her
I acted like her friend
When deep down I despised her

Watch myself disappear
Didn't know what love meant
And just like my youth
I'll be living with the aftermath

Ooh...

Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me

Some things we never say
It isn't easy
I know you're looking down
You may be right beside me

When I finally see you
I'll take off, my man
And just like my youth
I'll be living with the aftermath

And just like my youth
Just like your youth
Just like my youth

"Alice In Wonderland"


Maybe I'm unkind, maybe I am cruel
I know
Maybe I am blind, maybe I'm a fool
I know

And maybe I
Will miss you when you're gone
And maybe time
Time will prove me wrong

Cause my fingers want to slip
When you hold my hand
When you touch my lips
I'm sinking in the sand
And shouldn't it feel
Like I'm Alice in Wonderland

It's out of my control
It's how the story goes
You know
My hands are getting cold
But trying to let go

And maybe you
Will miss me when I'm gone
And maybe time
Will help you carry on

Cause my fingers want to slip
When you hold my hand
When you touch my lips
I'm sinking in the sand
And shouldn't it feel
Like I'm Alice in Wonderland

We can go on and on
But someday I'll break your heart
We'll set each other free
And make it easier for us to part

And maybe I
Will miss you when you're gone
Maybe time
Time will prove me wrong, oh no

But my fingers want to slip
When you hold my hand
When you touch my lips
I'm sinking in the sand
And shouldn't it feel
Like I'm Alice in Wonderland

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La...

"All Because Of You"


Ooh, ooh...
Oh

You can put your faith in me
I will keep you company
Tell me what you want to see
Even if we do not know the way
If we don't get there, it's okay

All the way to Mexico
Let's just get out of the cold
Following the windy rode
We don't have to
Make it home tonight
If we don't get back, it's alright

But I've got no money
We need nothing
But where are we gonna stay
Just follow me, I need you to know

We'll find what you're looking for
No matter where we go
Got nothing to lose
We'll find what you're looking for
We're gonna follow through
It's all because of you

Stop the papers, stop the press
You can put me to the test
Keep the goods and leave the rest
This is just the way it's meant to be
So come on now, follow me

We will be so glad we went
Leave the troubles, leave the rent
Reaching out on experience
We will live forever and a day
Either way, we've got it made

I've got no money
But we need nothing
But where are we gonna stay
Just follow me, I need you to know

We'll find what you're looking for
No matter where we go
Got nothing to lose
We'll find what you're looking for
We're gonna follow through
It's all because of you
(I need you to know)
We'll find what you're looking for
No matter where we go
Got nothing to lose
We'll find what you're looking for
We're gonna follow through
It's all because of you

Oh
It's all because of you
And all because of you
It's all because of you

"All in Disguise"


Safety off he’s moving with the times
While he’s waiting in a super market line
“Follow me” he’d say “I believe, I believe I know the way”
Look deeper deep into my eyes
Look I’m in my own little paradise
“Sleeping well” he’d say “I’m sleeping any trouble away”
He’s only sleeping when there’s time
Demons resting in his mind they’re strong
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
Follow follow in the parade
Noise will stop him keeping him awake he’s wrong
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
My my
He’s in disguise
He’s in disguise
She looks nice she’s giving it a rest
He said he loves her when she likes herself less
“I’m safe when I’m awake, it’s darker today outside is where I’ll stay”
A longer dress she’s hurting this time
She doesn’t move until she stays behind
And look backing she’d say “I wish I didn’t join a parade”
She’s only into healing pain
Waves will carry out her name
She knows
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
On her hands her hands are cold
Keeping her from things of gold she wrote
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
My my
She’s in disguise
She’s in disguise
My my
All in disguise
All in disguise
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade

"American Dreamer"


Saw it on the table
I’m young and I’m able, uh-huh
Driving your mustang
I’m dumb and I’m trusting, uh-huh
Someone please stop me
The shadows can’t catch me, uh-huh
You take all of me, then throw it like leaves, uh-huh

Caught up in cages, in minimum wages, uh-huh
I’ve love lost in sorrow, I’ll see you tomorrow, uh-huh
Who needs a tight rope when walking on new hope, uh-huh
Can always believe with a dream up your sleeve, uh-huh

So come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me ’til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We’re both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we’re up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won’t be here for long

When everything’s hopeless, you follow a compass, uh-huh
I’ll use what you give me, like kites when it’s windy, uh-huh
And heroes get boring, it’s part of their glory, uh-huh
You can’t let it get you halfway when I met you, uh-huh

Come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me ’til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We’re both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we’re up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won’t be here for long

Tide is high but I’m holding on
Water will rise but I’m not sailing home
Tide is high, I’m holding on
The sun’s coming up but our night’s still young

So come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me ’til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We’re both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we’re up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won’t be here for long…

Tide is high but I’m holding on
Waters rise, I’m not sailing home
Tide is high, I’m holding on
The sun’s coming up but our night’s still young.
