Prologue 01:38

It’s been so well kept that we didn’t even see it Sensed it, though we could never feel it or make sense of this This lack of reflection on ourselves, it may appear shallow Looking from another perspective Maybe hesitation says we’ll never know cliché Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality We’re not in love, that’s a distant dream But we could be, we could be The lights seem over-amplified so we lay in darkness In which an idea can inspire hours of thought We put this feeling down to no more than attraction It still did not cross our minds Maybe hesitation says we’ll never know cliché Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality We’re not in love, that’s a distant dream But we could be, we could be Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality What I know, you don’t believe But you’ve missed me, you’ve missed me Have you ever noticed When we say goodbye We touch a little longer Close our eyes a little longer The things I hear you say The way we act How we close our eyes a little longer When we part, and walk away The way we act How we close our eyes a little longer Let’s immerse ourselves in make-believe stories, let’s pretend that they’re reality

Storytelling 03:31
This storytelling is more than unclear The words are twisted in every chapter, torn apart These lines are making you so insecure You wouldn’t worry if you knew the truth Stare for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find what you’ve been looking for Feel for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find that you’re in love You’re in love My eyes glaze over and I’m lost in my own thoughts Let’s no longer rewind and start it again It’s not as before, don’t be afraid to take a chance This will amount to so much more in the end Stare for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find what you’ve been looking for Feel for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find that you’re in love You’re in love If you would, if you would If you would, if you would If you would stare If you would feel If you would take a look You would find the truth Stare for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find what you’ve been looking for (If you would stare, if you would feel) Feel for a heartbeat longer and you’ll find that you’re in love (If you would take a look, you would find that you’re in love)

Be the First 03:44
Let’s go get lost, we’ll lose ourselves all night Wander aimlessly through streets and avenues Let’s go get lost, we’ll lose ourselves all night With faces streaming past, not one taking notice of us Leave your fear, don't let this moment pass Are you aware, here's me and here's you Leave your fear, don't let this moment pass When you think of me, I think of you Be the first to say yes You’ll be the last to regret this Give me time, you’ll be fine, go on, make up your mind Just take a chance tonight So take my hand, come talk with me all night We’ll talk of days gone by and all our favourite songs So take my hand, come walk with me all night We will walk along paths where time can’t reach us Leave your fear, don't let this moment pass Are you aware, here's me and here's you Leave your fear, don't let this moment pass When you think of me, I think of you Be the first to say yes You’ll be the last to regret this Give me time, you’ll be fine, make up your mind Just take a chance tonight Leave your fear, don’t let this moment pass Are you aware, here’s me and here’s you Leave your fear, don’t let this moment pass When you think of me I think of you Let’s not waste time, just be mine Let’s not waste time, just be mine Be the first to say yes You’ll be the last to regret this Give me time, you’ll be fine, go on, Make up your mind

Follow 03:01
Sometimes, when you’re searching so hard for something You may see it when it’s barely there You’ll think you’ve found it when it’s not even there I have learned to always follow To trust its path, but this time I don’t know where my heart is taking me I don’t know where my heart is heading Sometimes, when you long and care so much for something When you’re mind is so full of concern You’ll give everything you have, for nothing in return I have learned to always follow To trust its path, but this time I don’t know where my heart is taking me I don’t know where my heart is heading I have learned to always follow To trust its path, but this time I don’t know where my heart is taking me I don’t know where my heart is heading I don’t know where my heart is taking me I don’t know where my heart is heading

Chapter II 01:08
10.
Concluding remarks made by circles of friends As with any circles, won’t lead to an end I can’t share my mind if you won’t let me speak it The pen will not reach the ever-distant paper As the truth in my words is never inferred I can’t share my life if you won’t let me live it Their lives look like the perfect picture Everything’s as it should appear But I see her face, the hesitation shows the need for change Their lives look like the perfect picture A closer look shows him not with her But it’s okay, maybe I can’t see how they do anyway Who’s to say I’m no actor, so know I’m not pretending I shouldn't be this hard to believe in I can’t share my mind if you won’t let me speak it With such a well defined character I shouldn’t be this hard to understand I can’t share my life if you won’t let me live it Their lives look like the perfect picture Everything’s as it should appear But I see her face, the hesitation shows the need for change Their lives look like the perfect picture A closer look shows him not with her But it’s okay, maybe I can’t see how they do anyway Who’s to say People see first just what they expect to see So it appears that nothing has changed It feels like this will last forever Trusting perception over my word If time asleep felt to pass the same as waking Would you finally have the chance to see the sense of this all If time asleep felt to pass the same as waking Would you finally have the chance to see the sense of this all

The Secret 05:03
The questions begin as nothing But they change, and they grow into everything I have come to realise that all of this is a lie In this act, in this scene, the plot goes around in circles Is it really worth doing the things that we do We could run away Is it really worth living the way that we are We could run away There’s too much going on here Too many locks, too many keys that lead to nowhere I look around and see what this is not supposed to be All the means to an end are passed off as nothing Is it really worth doing the things that we do We could run away Is it really worth living the way that we are We could run away Ideas so graceful, graceful, and elegant Though there’s still something missing in my mind
