Stop The World 00:00
(Verse 1):
Since the day that I arrived I’ve traveled 18 billion miles around the sun
Every day is getting shorter but I still feel like my life has just begun.
Long gone are the days when I would laze, I wouldn’t rise til the afternoon.
And so the old bird gets the worm, no longer dances until dawn, under the moon.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I can’t afford to waste a single day,
How 30 years of life have come and gone away.
(Chorus):
Can we stop the world, I’m getting off.
Jump this train and go get lost,
we can live our lives, unafraid of time,
So stop the world, I’m getting off.
(V. 2)
I’m not young enough to be innocent and neither am I old enough to be wise.
Stuck somewhere in between looking naively at the world through ageing eyes.
(P.C 2)
I can’t afford to waste a single day,
Now 40 precious years have come and gone away.
Chorus x1
(P.C 3)
I fear the day my hair starts turning gray,
And 50 years have disappeared in just one day.

Chorus x1

Live and Let Live 04:03
It’s not a competition. We’re all trying to survive this life,
Fulfill your own ambitions. Don’t make it hard for other people to thrive.
You’ve got your own opinion, It doesn’t have to look the same as mine,
You’re in a different position, Everybody’s got a hill to climb.
(Bridge):
Stuck in the same monsoon but we’re not all in the same boat.
We all could use a little hope.
(Chorus):
So live and let live, Love and let love,
Forget and forgive, Don't ever give up
Live and let live, Love and be loved
Cause you never know when your time is up.

Make your own decisions, Let other people make their own mistakes
Don’t let it cloud your vision Everybody’s looking for a break
No need for confrontation, Nobody needs another enemy,
Don’t look for validation, It only feeds your anxiety.

Bridge x1
Chorus x3

Social Media State 08:50
(V.1):
We sold our souls to Facebook and now they’re selling our dreams.
It’s getting hot in the kitchen baby, nothing is quite as it seems.
Microphones in our bedrooms but we won’t stop making love.
We’re living life through our TV screens but that ain’t bothering us.
(Bridge):
Social Media nation, Reality TV, killer viruses on the loose to distract us from reality.
(Chorus):
I’m losing faith in our human race
We’re made from love but controlled by hate.
I’m losing faith in our human fate.
If we don’t make a choice to make a change, it will be too late
Social Media State.
What a big mistake,
Social Media hate.
(V.2)
The children of the future. Their faces glued to their screens. King Louis’ head of the White House baby and they don’t know what that means. Plastic oceans are rising. I see a world up in flames. You'd better go take a selfie baby. You’ll never get the chance again.
Bridge x1
Chorus x1
Social Media State
What a big mistake
It’ll be too late
Social Media hate.

Light of My Life 12:13
(V.1)
Light of my life, A ray of sunshine through the blackest fog,
The brightest star shines through the darkest night,
You are bold and you are brave but you don’t know what you're made of, and all that you’re afraid of, you can conquer.
(Bridge):
If you could only see yourself through my eyes, you would know that you’re unstoppable. That everything is possible for you.
(Chorus):
Ohh, You light up every room that you walk into.
And ohhhh... Your smile can strip the clouds out of the sky.
The love that you show to everybody that you know, I’m so lucky I can say that you are mine.
(V. 2):
Light of my world. A blazing beacon in my darkest hour
You raise me up when I don’t have the power
You are wiser than your years and when you can’t hold back the tears rolling down your cheek, know it doesn’t make you weak.
(Bridge)
If you could only see yourself through my eyes, you would know that you’re a miracle. Nothing’s quite as wonderful as you.
Chorus x1
Light of my life,
Your light cuts through my icy tendencies,
You’ll always be the better half of me.
