Dreams and Disasters Shooting Star Gold Dementia (feat Mark Hoppus) I’m Coming After You Speed of Love Good Time (with Carly Rae Jepsen) Embers Silhouette Metropolis Take It All Away Bombshell Blonde
DREAMS AND DISASTERS We were alone on the road driving faster So far from home, we were chasing disaster Hard on the gas till the car caught on fire We had to laugh as the smoke billowed higher I wanna feel alive forever after And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after And I, and I, and I say Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Follow the light to the edge and the after We won’t turn around, we will not slow down Follow the light through the dreams and disasters Sting of the sun and the sound of it rising Still on the run with our eyes on the horizon
SHOOTING STAR Close your tired eyes, relax and then Count from one to ten and open them All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down But not this time Way up in the air, you’re finally free And you can stay up there, right next to me All this gravity will try to pull you down But not this time
Shout out to the dreams you’ll chase Shout out to the hearts you’ll break Nothing’s gonna stop you now I guess you better be going You’ll never be far I’m keeping you near Inside of my heart You’re here Go on It’s gotta be time You’re starting to shine ‘Cause what you got is Gold I know you’re gold Oh, I know, I know I don’t need the stars in the night I found my treasure All I need is you by my side So shine forever Gold I know you’re gold Oh, I know you’re gold
Through the skies you’re en route at the speed of light So realize there’s chaos in the air tonight This is love, this is war, this is pure insanity Dementia, you’re driving me crazy
I’M COMING AFTER YOU I saw your face in a criminal sketch Don’t be alarmed ‘cause you don’t know me yet I’m on the prowl now sniffing around this town for you Calling all cars, there’s an officer down Shot to the heart on a night on the town And the evidence of your fingerprints was found And now You got the right to remain right here with me I’m on your tail in a hot pursuit Love is a high speed chase racing down the street Woo woo woo, I’m coming after you Oh no here we go once again We both know you’ll never turn yourself in So I’m driving till it’s light out, searching for your hideout Pick up the pace as I chase you around One of these days I’ll end up tracking you down But yeah, I got the feeling I’ll be letting you loose when I do Because you

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out Then it’s time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star So shine no matter where you are Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light ‘Cause it’s time for you to shine brighter than a shooting star So shine no matter where you are tonight Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts Oh the pouring rain will try to put it out But not this time Let your colors burn and brightly burst Into a million sparks that all disperse And illuminate a world that’ll try to bring you down But not this time A thousand heartbeats beat in time And makes this dark planet come alive So when the lights flicker out tonight You gotta shine
GOLD Stand on up and take a bow There’s something there and it’s showing There’s no need to look around You’re the best we got going
It won’t take you long to get When you feel like you’re soaring So write it all and don’t forget You gotta tell us your story Shout out to the friends back home Shout out to the hearts you’ve known You gave em nothing but the best Yeah and you can tell em your story
DEMENTIA Every light in the night flickered in and out Every bone in my back shivered up and down Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy Every voice in my head shouted yes and no Every freight train of thought fought to stop and go Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy Big surprise, I’m a ghost keeping out of sight Rub your eyes, you’re a star in the summer night This is love, this is war, it’s insanity Dementia, you’re driving me crazy Every tear in my eyes dripped and wouldn’t drop Every disc in my spine shook and couldn’t stop Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy Every hand let me go that I tried to hold Every warmhearted love left me freezing cold Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies ‘Cause this is driving me crazy
SPEED OF LOVE I tried to disappear But you’re the only reason I’m floating here Eyes painted crystal clear I can see our future through the atmosphere Don’t you go, no don’t you go Don’t you know, I’m up here alone Yeah I am like a satellite Sending you a signal tonight Oh oh oh, like a streak of light Oh oh oh, watch the world fly by Oh oh oh, rev your engine up Everybody’s racing at the speed of love You were so hard to find With oh so many clouds across my summer sky You, my constellation prize Yeah every single star is sparkling in your eyes So don’t you go, no don’t you go ‘Cause don’t you know, I’m up here alone So high, like a satellite I’m sending you a signal tonight One track, one mind, one race to win One start, one heart, one life to l ive
GOOD TIME SILHOUETTE Woke up on the right side of the bed What’s up with this Prince song inside my head Hands up if you’re down to get down tonight ‘Cause it’s always a good time Slept in all my clothes like I didn’t care Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere I’m in if you’re down to get down tonight ‘Cause it’s always a good time Good morning and goodnight I’ll wake up at twilight It’s gonna be alright We don’t even have to try It’s always a good time Woah oh oh oh Woah it’s always a good time Woah oh oh oh We don’t even have to try It’s always a good time Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again Checked out of my room, hit the ATM Let’s hang out if you’re down to get down tonight ‘Cause it’s always a good time
I’m tired of waking up in tears ‘Cause I can’t put to bed these phobias and fears I’m new to this grief I can’t explain But I’m no stranger to the heartache and the pain The fire I began is burning me alive But I know better than to leave and let it die I’m a silhouette Asking every now and then Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again? I’m a silhouette Chasing rainbows on my own But the more I try to move on The more I feel alone So I watch the summer stars to lead me home I’m sick of the past I can’t erase A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can’t retrace The mountain of things I still regret Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget No matter where I go
There’s no stopping this I left my heart in Metropolis A thousand miles feels like a million years Like hundreds of postcards that say I wish you were here Airplane through the sky Greyhound racing by Dirt bike on the beach Sailboat on the sea Don’t matter much to me What it is that I do As long as I’m coming home to you
TAKE IT ALL AWAY There was a shot in the dark, I was caught by surprise There was a hole in my heart, there were tears in your eyes And there was nothing to say ‘cause you made up your mind And so I guess what you meant when you left was goodbye So if you’re gonna go and leave me in a lonely gray I won’t let it show until you’ve finally flown away You gotta know that

Doesn’t matter when, it’s always a good time then Doesn’t matter where, it’s always a good time there Doesn’t matter when, it’s always a good time then It’s always a good time
EMBERS There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive But the world took a spark like a match in the dark And the fire brought me to life So I’m fanning the flames to climb so high ‘Cause there’s no other way we can stay alive ‘Cause we’re burning bright as we all unite And when it’s all said and done, we’ll shine like the sun So don’t let the fire die And we’ll watch the sky as it fills with light And though the embers are new, whatever you do Just don’t let the fire die And you find they’ll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold But you’ll fight with a passion and you’ll never stop ‘cause you know Yeah you know, it gets better and your story is yet to be told Every push, every shove, every war, every love Yeah, the coals are beginning to glow
I’m a silhouette Asking every now and then Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again? I’m a silhouette Chasing rainbows on my own But the more I try to move on The more I feel alone So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
METROPOLIS Oh oh, I can’t even take it in Oh oh, I can’t even take it in Oh oh, I l eft my heart in Metropolis So far apart, I checked but the coast was clear I feel like a postcard, I wish you were here Subway through the dark Carriage through the park Taxi down the street Get out and use my feet Don’t matter much to me What it is that I do As long as I’m coming home to you Oh oh oh, as far as I can see You’re the only one, the onl y one who can get to me Like a hijacked plane Or a runaway train Or a speeding bullet
You tear me up when you say You wanna take it all away, take it all away You tear me up when you say You wanna take it all away, take it all away You were the one and it was enough To be the one you were dreaming of You were the one and we called it love And now you take it all away, take it all away
I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheek And as I tried to digest the words I couldn’t believe I’m left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeve Making it easy to hurt and even harder to breathe
