Mary Ann waits at the bus stop
sitting with both feet on the ground
Childhood dreams have all but faded
Imagination once knew no bounds
Now she lives in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
We're all a little mad but keep it under our hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been
Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann
Mary Ann tried her best to please them
Fetched the rabbit his fan and gloves
Who are you is more than a question
But Mary Ann answered to their expectations
I don't want to live in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
We're all a little mad but keep it under our hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been
Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann
Mary Ann gazes in the mirror
Looking for all she thinks she lost
But the looking glass prophets cast a dim reflection
of fine lines and tired eyes bought with good intentions
I don't wanna live in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
You're all a little mad but you keep it under your hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been
Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann

Save Me

Never waited for an answer
that I knew would never come
So don't think that I can stand here
broken-hearted and alone
And I pray
that you'll save me from myself
cause these days
I wish I could be somebody else
I can see the people passing
dressed in different shades of white
I'm afraid that they can see through
all the colours of my lies
And I pray
that you'll save me from myself
cause these days
I wish I could be somebody else
I feel the rain upon my window pane
but I still can't find the shore
and if I make it til tomorrow again
It's because of you, you, you
And I pray
that you'll save me from myself
cause these days
When I'm with you there's nobody else.

Everything I Ever Wanted

If I only had a dollar
for every time you say you love me
I could pay all our bills
and still leave home with extra money
To take you for a night on the town
Just to see a smile on your face
You're everything that I ever wanted
And if I had an air balloon
I'd take us far away from here
Blow it up as best I could
Then sit back and let you steer
You might say I'm full of hot air
but I mean every word I say
You're everything that I ever wanted
Love makes everything taste sweeter
Despite the bitter parts of life
I will get through with you by my side
In your arms there's no where left to hide
Maybe one day in 50 years
Science will build a time machine
To take us back to our first date
So we can do it all over again
Because even when my eyes grow dim
and my last breath beckons me
You'll still be everything that I ever wanted
You're everything that I ever wanted.

Won't Back Down

Oh, you can be bigger than
the trees that rise up to block your view
Oh, it takes a bigger man
To realise his size is not his jewel.
You won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth
Oh, you don't need to be
Like a jar freshly glazed from the kiln
Oh, when you see the cracks
You gotta let the gold fill it in
You won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth
Haven't seen you in a while
I woke up to see you smile
But still you want to turn and run
Now we're back where you begin
Hold my hand don't hold it in
Happiness is a loaded gun
I won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth
Won't back down
Carry on and push against the rule
Won't back down
Nothing could taste sweeter than the truth.
