1. Beautiful Life
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Take me in, Lift me up
‘Cause I’ll never get enough
Don’t go slow, don’t let go
Just shower me in love
Because with you, I can be
Everything I ought to be
Happiness and peace
I can laugh and I can breath
Chorus
Wanna love you more
Wanna want you more
Wanna love you more
Hold me closer
Wanna love you more
Wanna want you more
Hold me closer
Verse 2
Let us dance, let us laugh
Enjoying where we’re at
Let us dance, let us smile
‘Cause we could go for miles
Let us fill all our dreams
These beautiful memories
‘Cause we’re here for tonight
We could go for life
(Chorus)
Bridge
It’s a beautiful life with you
It’s a beautiful life with you
It’s a beautiful life with you
It’s a beautiful life, it’s a beautiful life
(Instrumental bridge)
(Chorus)
2. Out of the Blue
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Last night when I saw you
Caught me, took me to the moon
You took my heart to space
Put gravity away
Felt like a shooting star
Trying to catch love so far
Didn’t know you till now
Love quickly came around
Where were you years ago?
Seems somehow I don’t know
I’d dim without your light
Shining through darkest nights
Hold me closer this time
For you I’d travel miles
My heart opens to you
And this love’s out the blue
Chorus
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
Verse 2
Time passes far too quick
With you I can’t miss it
With every minute passed
Just wanting this to last
This feeling’s here to stay
Can’t let the best times fade
Bright like a thousand stars
Lit up just where we are
Chorus
Out of the blue (ooh)
Out of the blue (ooh)
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
Out of the blue (ooh)
Out of the blue (ooh)
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
(Musical break)
Out of the blue (ooh)
I’m so caught up
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Chorus
Out of the blue (ooh)
Out of the blue (ooh)
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
Out of the blue (ooh)
Out of the blue (ooh)
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
I’m so caught up
Up in your rush
3. Been a While
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Healing scars, Closing wounds
Never thought that it'd be you
Hurting me, my silent screams
Buried with this bad dream
Wondering, when it ends
Crying, crying without end
Catch a breath, I need to breathe
Somehow need to find peace
Pre-Chorus
I’m lost in the misery
And I’m trying to break free
I could beg on my hands and knees
Saying stay when it’s time to leave
Chorus
Been a while been a while been a while now
Need to say, need to say goodbye
Holding on, holding on to something
Too long this time
It’s Been a while been a while been a while now
Time is slipping, slipping by
And I know it won’t be easy
To say goodbye, It’s about time
Verse 2
It all went by too quick
Fading times slipping from our grip
Soaked up in joy, and let it glow
Reached the end of the road
Held on too tight, for too long
In the end, same moving on
Don’t forget, my hand in yours
Memories hold forevermore
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge
And I tried too hard to hold on, to forgive your wrongs
And I tried to save all that we had, till it was gone
The warning signs, the kindness slipping from your smile
I should have known it was too late to hold on this time
Final Chorus
It’s been a while been a while been a while now
Need to say, need to say goodbye
Holding on, holding on to something
Too long this time
It’s Been a while been a while been a while now
Time is slipping, slipping by
And I know it won’t be easy
To say goodbye
Been a while been a while been a while now
Been a while been a while been a while (x 11)
4. Just Come Back
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Airplane fly, fly away
I’m left just looking up, sitting not doing much
Just looking out, windows today
Reflections there of us, they’re flashbacks turned to dust
It’s been a long, long day
Just gazing at the view, regrets are clouded too
I’d ask if you could maybe stay
If I weren’t so down, feeling dull and blue
Chorus
And it’s a long, long, long, long, long night
I want you here by my side
It’s felt a long, long, long time
I want you back, right here tonight
Just come back
Verse 2
Clock ticks on, time passes slow
And my heart’s going numb, without you I’ve a chill
Without you my life’s on hold
I’m wishing you’d come back, not knowing if you will
And I could have given more
If only I had known what I’d missed before you’d gone
And I want you to know
That I’ve had to be strong, never quite moved on
(Chorus)
Bridge
And I wish that you could see
I’m human, I’m human
And I can fall to pieces
Give me a chance, would you hold me would you hold me
Final Chorus
And it’s a long, long, long, long, long night
I want you here by my side
It’s felt a, long, long time
I want you back, right here tonight
And it’s a long, long, long, long, long night
I want you here by my side
It’s felt a long, long, long time
I want you back, right here tonight
Just come back
Just come back
Just come back
Just come back
Just come back
5. Falling For You
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
You’re here with me
I’m hopelessly, falling for you, falling for you
I’m trying to speak, but my voice is too weak
I blame it on you, What can I do
Pre-Chorus
My heart is taking off
And you swept me away
Can’t hide just how I felt
So alive to feel this way
Chorus
I’m seeing clouds, I’m seeing stars
I’m seeing your name right across my heart
And this could be the start
Of something more; something that I have never felt before
Verse 2
Sun’s down, it’s late, and I feel so awake
Time goes quickly when you’re with me
Your hand on mine; a sky of stars that shine
Hold me closely, what more could I need
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge
And when we embrace
My heart is running, wants to run away, run away
And with your arms wrapped around my waist
I just want to hear you say you’re here always
Final Chorus
I’m seeing clouds, I’m seeing stars
I’m seeing your name right across my heart
And this could be the start
Of something more; something that I have never felt before
I’m seeing clouds, I’m seeing stars
I’m seeing your name right across my heart
And this could be the start
Of something more; something that I have never felt before
I’m seeing clouds, I’m seeing stars
I’m seeing your name right across my heart
And this could be the start
Of something more; something that I have never felt before
6. Don’t Change
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Snow on the street
Glistening beautifully
Frost in the air
This scene is heavenly
Steps in the snow
Walking somewhere we don’t know
With your hand in mine
This moment always holds
Pre-Chorus
I know that we’re not perfect, I just don’t care, because holding you’s worth it
I know that we’ve got our flaws, that’s not what matters, we can’t have it all
Chorus
Don’t change, just don’t change for me
We can love imperfectly
And don’t change, just don’t change for me
This moment is heartfelt meaning
And don’t change, just don’t change for me
With you right here, I feel time freeze
And don’t change, just don’t change for me
I need you with me indefinitely
And don’t change
Verse 2
You kiss me awake
Bring light into my day
I’ll cherish you now
Your love in every way
Catch this, catch this feeling
I know that it’s worth believing
Love isn’t perfection
Still, we can have everything
(Pre-Chorus)
(Musical break)
(Chorus)
Outro
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
7. Missing You
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Missing you, like I’ve always been
Want to pull you back into my arms
Wishing you would come right in
Want to go right back to where we start
Where did we go wrong, I'm asking
I'm writing you a song, like back when
Holding onto something, anything
Want to fix it all
Chorus
Baby hold me one more time
I'd go back and change the other night
Baby give me one more chance
I promise you I'll make it last
Just before we say goodnight
I'll go back and make things alright
Cause I've been, missing you, again
Verse 2
Another day, I’m walking ‘roun
Without you I’m wandering aimlessly
I’d pull you back, but really how?
When you’re not hearing my cries and pleas
I wish that you would know, I’m human
And I make mistakes, still I’m learning
Sometimes I can change, I’m listening
Let me fix it all
(Chorus)
Bridge
Seeing through clouds (seeing through clouds)
Try to catch that silver lining
Looking back on the run
I want that night to be undone
(Chorus)
8. 21st Avenue
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Walking down 21st avenue
I never thought I’d run into you
Your eyes so full of light
Smile so full of life
Every time we meet my heart skips beats
Like running fast down this same old street
I know when we last met
I wasn’t ready just yet
Chorus
It feels like, like deja vu
Standing right, right here with you
It’s like, like deja vu
Feeling good feelings with someone new
How did our paths cross, I don’t know
How the time go by, so fast and slow
Don’t know why I feel so close to you
Walking down 21st avenue
Verse 2
You look just as good as I would have thought
It seems life hasn’t changed a lot
It’s like we’ve hit rewind
And brought back good old times
Where would you like to go, I don’t care
As long as it’s you who takes me there
And I’m ready to love
We could make old times new
(Chorus)
(Musical break)
Bridge
And I won’t bother to say it all, say it all
And I won’t bother to keep hiding my feelings
And I won’t bother to say it all, say it all
And I won’t bother to keep hiding my feelings
Final Chorus
It feels like, like deja vu
Standing right, right here with you
It’s like, like deja vu
Feeling good feelings with someone new
It feels like, like deja vu
Standing right, right here with you
It’s like, like deja vu
Feeling good feelings with someone new
How did our paths cross, I don’t know
How the time go by, so fast and slow
Don’t know why I feel so close to you
Walking down 21st avenue
It’s like, like deja
Right, right here with you (x6)
9. Ghost
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
Remember back when you took my hand
Looked me in the eye
Told me we’ll get through, and I knew
There was nothing left to hide
Pre-Chorus
Nothing lasts
Shattered glass
Drowning deep
In times we can’t keep
Chorus
Too late, too late to go back
I’ve torn up all the memories
Too late, too late you know that
You hurt me too deep
Ghosts won’t stop haunting my mind
But I won’t break without a fight
Haunting thoughts and sleepless nights
I am gone
Verse 2
You left me empty
I’m out of breath, try to escape the pain
I’m left running
‘Round in circles, and outrun your mistakes
Pre-Chorus 2
And I won’t cry
For you this time
Can’t have you back
It all ended so fast
Chorus
And it’s too late, too late to go back
I’ve torn up all the memories
Too late, too late you know that
You hurt me too deep
Ghosts won’t stop haunting my mind
But I won’t break without a fight
Haunting thoughts and sleepless nights
I am gone
Bridge
I still go back to when we met
Haven’t seen this side of you yet
All of your lies and broken trust
There’s nothing left of us
Final Chorus
Now I’m a ghost and I’m fading I’m fading
Nowhere to go I am breaking
Too late, too late to go back
I’ve torn up all of the memories
Too late, too late, you know that
You hurt me too deep
Too late, too late to go back
I’ve torn up all of the memories
Too late, too late, you know that
You hurt me too deep
Now I’m a ghost and I’m fading
Nowhere to go I am breaking (I’m gone, I’m gone)
Now I’m a ghost and I’m fading, I’m fading
Nowhere to go I am breaking away
10. I’m Sorry
Written by: Charlotte Forbes & Chris Gestrin
Verse 1
You left my eyes to dry
No tears left inside in cry
You took something away from me
And I can’t replace the piece
If I were made of steel
This void in me would feel less real
I feel smaller now
These regrets weighing me down
Chorus
But when you fade from view
I’m missing you
When you’re not by my side
I don’t feel right
And I spend evenings wishing you were next to me
Give me a chance to say the words I mean
I’m sorry
Verse 2
Take back the sorrows left
They stole all my happiness
Take my bitterness
Don’t deserve to feel like this
Watched your smile fade
With hopes of us falling away
I still relive the other night
Wish that I could change your mind
(Chorus)
Bridge
You know you know
How much I need your hold
You know you know
I need you here don’t go
You know you know
The future is untold
Don’t go
(Chorus)
Outro
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
