“Sweetheart”
I finally see the forest for the trees, after years of living down on my knees,
I’ll tell you what it’s all about, come into my world, baby help me figure it out
I’ve got a lot of things to say, after years of being away.
It was just my mind, it was not me. Step into my world, baby come and set me free.
And it could be better, so much better, so much better than it was before.
And we could be happy, if you could love me. Please just open up that door.
Please, my sweetheart. Please, my sweetheart. Please, my sweetheart. Please my sweetheart.

“Magic Trick”
Struck down beyond belief-the only thing you feel is grief.
No one seems to be getting through; there are no words to say to you.
And that’s the way it goes, when somebody dies. There’s nothing much to see-just the tears in your eyes.
You wish it was a practical joke-a big mistake, someone misspoke.
Truth is that they’re dead and gone, and left us here to carry on…
And that’s the way it goes, when somebody dies. There’s nothing much to see-just the tears in your eyes.
Chorus:
I need a magic trick, so I can bring you back my friend. Show me that magic, Trick, so you can make me laugh again.
All your day will pass you by-another sunset in the sky.
Cancel all our future plans, until that day we meet again.
And that’s the way it goes, when somebody dies. There’s nothing much to see-just the tears in your eyes.
I need a magic trick, so I can bring you back my friend. Show me that magic, Trick, so you can make me laugh again.

Frozen Drops of Fire

“Frozen Drops of Fire”
She’s got frozen drops of fire, hanging around her neck
And her voice is like a lyre, turn around, double back.
When she looks at me, I shiver, as she blows another kiss.
But the flames are all around me, it not’s supposed to be like…
This is what she said, when I looked in her eyes. This is what she said to me:
Chorus:
“Tell me your secrets, ‘cause I’ll keep them safe. You can tell everything to me”
Now she’s left, and there’s nothing left to tell. She took it all away from me.

“irl"
I’m in love with a girl on the internet. We’ve talked twice, in real life (and she doesn’t know it, yet).
I say “hello” with a smile, and my tongue gets tied. Goodbye eyes, she’ll never hear the way I feel inside…
I’m in love, in real life
I’m in love with a girl who lives in my mind. Like the one from the internet, she’s kind of hard to find.
I close my eyes, and we talk, almost every night. When I wake up, I’m all alone and she’s no where in sight.
Chorus:
In real life, my mind just always seems to drift away, to a comfort I once knew.
In real life, I need some help to find the words to say. Something simple like “I love you”-in real life.
I’m in love with that girl in the photograph. We never talk, because she’s someone who lives in the past.
Just a picture in the scrapbook sitting on my shelf-I’m so lonely cause I found out she loves someone else.
In real life, my mind just always seems to drift away, to a comfort I once knew.
In real life, I need some help to find the words to say. Something simple like “I love you”-in real life.

“She’s Doing Fine”
She’s picking out the perfect dress tonight-ready to find her Mr. Right.
And you know you’re not the one. She feels the good inside you is gone.
Ruby lips and emerald eyes are her favorite form of disguise.
But you know there’s more than that, cause you’re caught inside this trap.
And you can’t forget her, isn’t love forever?
She’s doing fine…she’s doing fine. She’s doing fine without you. She’s doing fine.
Like a movie star on screen, she now lives inside your dreams.
And there’s nothing you can do, she’s grown very tired of you.
So someone new has taken your place. It wipes the smile right from your face.
And you’d love to lay it down, she thinks you’re just a stupid clown.
And you can’t forget her, love is not forever…
She’s doing fine…she’s doing fine. She’s doing fine without you. She’s doing fine without you.
She’s doing fine, anyway. She’s doing fine, here today. She’s doing fine.
