Time Machine 03:22
Time Machine (Bleu McAuley, Stefanie Drexler, Mr. McGinty) I remember when we used to be so happy And I remember how your smile was cherry wine I would kiss your face again If I could only go back in time Every day was easy like we were on holiday With your sunnies and a flower in your hair I would trade my soul forever If I only could get back there I remember how the skies were turning cloudy And I remember you were standing in the rain I wish I could find that moment in the timeline But it’s much too late If I study every theory of the universe Maybe I can be the one to crack the code Other people tried but they’ve forgotten Why you would travel down that lonely road Rewind Fall back in time I finally made it back to you And were laughing again like we used to I’ll never mess this up again But just in case I ever do Rewind Fall back in time Time Machine

As a Child 04:10
As a Child (Stefanie Drexler, Matt Appleton) When I was five Running around the house With so many dreams on my mind Oh I never got tired Wide-eyed and brave Painting pictures of a life That someday I would create I wouldn’t have to behave Now there’s no magic in expectations Oh life was easier back then As a child I never worried for my future Dreaming big and building stages in the sky As a child I believed in impossible things With eternity in my eyes I’m still the girl I used to be As a child Fully alive I could hold the moon With my tiny hands all night I lit a fire inside Singing a tune Building cities in a sandbox And worlds inside of my room It was over too soon Now there’s no magic in expectations Oh I wish I could feel that way again As a child I never worried for my future Dreaming big and building stages in the sky As a child I believed in impossible things With eternity in my eyes I’m still the girl I used to be As a child I won’t grow up! As a child I never worried for my future Dreaming big and building stages in the sky As a child I never worried for my future Dreaming big and building stages in the sky As a child I believed in impossible things With eternity in my eyes I’m still the girl I used to be As a child

The Last Kiss (Stefanie Drexler, Eric Barao) We fall apart Have we lost our minds Or lost track of time Let's race back to the start Are we out of breath Is there nothing left Could we still rewind Let's close the distance While everything's going down hill Now suddenly a single kiss can kill Out of touch Out of sight Out of time to make this right In a dream In a fright A wish for one last kiss goodnight Stopped counting the days Trapped in a garden maze Hazy, yet wide awake I cry out loud To somewhere up in the clouds It's where you live now Help me find a way out We kept our distance When we started to feel a chill And suddenly a single kiss could kill Out of touch Out of sight Out of time To make this right In a dream In a fright A wish for one last kiss goodnight I'd go the distance If I only could tell what's real Suddenly a single kiss could heal Out of touch Out of sight Out of time To make this right In a dream In a fright A wish for one last kiss goodbye

Take Care Out There (Stefanie Drexler, Steve Balsamo) I throw a penny in the wishing well Hold my breath as I count to ten As a million stars hang in the sky It’s like the firmament’s on fire Streets deserted but I can hear a voice Singing songs of love and sacrifice It may be a blessing in disguise If we’re guided home by hearts not minds Take care out there Take care out there I’ll keep the home fire burning bright I’ll keep you lover in my heart tonight As the embers dance like fireflies I find my sanctuary in lullabies The church bell cries but no one prays As illusion of importance falls away Take care out there Take care out there I’ll reach across the great divide I’ll keep you close, I’ll keep the love alive Take care out there 'Cause when the rain has run its course And the hurricane has passed There’s always something found When something has been lost Here among the wreckage Are beautiful diamonds in the dust Take care out there Take care out there I’ll keep the home fire burning bright I’ll hold your love deep in my heart tonight Take care out there Take care out there I’ll keep the home fire burning bright I’ll keep you lover in my heart tonight Take care out there Take care out there I’ll reach across the great divide I’ll keep you close, I’ll keep the love alive Take care out there

What’s the Meaning of Love? (Stefanie Drexler) I gotta keep my mind occupied So I don’t think of you All of the time We started out as friends And played our parts But somehow something’s changed When I lost my heart And now I find love in every place I go I’m trying to give love with everything I do All because of you Whenever you are near I stop counting all my fears You show me what I can become 'Cause you found the best in me And with you I’m feeling free You show me what it’s like To live a happy life What’s the meaning of love? We‘re trying to find out What’s the meaning of life? I think I know now You give meaning to mine I gotta find a way To let you know that I won’t let you go Ever again 'Cause now I find love in every place I go I wanna give love with everything I do Just because of you All because of you Whenever you are near I stop counting all my fears You show me what I can become 'Cause you found the best in me And with you I’m feeling free You show me what it’s like To live a happy life What’s the meaning of love? We‘re trying to find out What’s the meaning of life? I think I know now You give meaning to mine I love it when we sweet talk I love it when we tease us I love it when it heats up I love it how we feel love I love you baby, the way you smile at me You‘re more than music to my eyes Whenever you are near I stop counting all my fears You show me what I can become 'Cause you found the best in me And with you I’m feeling free You show me what it’s like To live a happy life What’s the meaning of love? We‘re trying to find out What’s the meaning of life? I think I know now You give meaning to mine

Brighton Beach (Stefanie Drexler) On a Friday in November That’s when I gave you my heart It was raining in my home town I was outside in the dark You were sitting on the beach in Brighton When you called We were talking for some minutes Before I dropped the bomb And I told you about my feelings I’ve been holding back so long It took you by surprise So you didn’t know what to say Just don’t lead me on If you don’t mean it I need to be strong While you think about it I hope you’ll figure out That all you need is only me We both had a strong connection Through music, that’s a plus Then you said that goes a long way 'Cause it means so much to us But how will I know if that’s enough for you To call it love Just don’t lead me on If you don’t mean it I need to be strong While you think about it I hope you’ll figure out That all you need is only me I had this feeling in a dream some years go And I promised once I find it I would never let it go Now I found you almost ten thousand miles away And inside I know that’s where my heart belongs to anyway Do you feel it too? Oh I wish you would’ve told me What was truly on your mind It felt good to hear me say that Were you trying to be polite? If you really ever care about me let me know Just don’t lead me on If you don’t feel it I need to move on Think about it I hope you’ll figure out That all you need is only me On Brighton Beach
