Track Name: YoYo
Walkin down the street it caught my eye
like the shiny red of a cherry pie
so I picked it up gave it a whirl
and I found it doesn't suit this girl

I don't want a shiny new one
I love my chipped and cracked old blue one
so me thinks in the garbage it should go
but I love my old YoYo

People think I'm crazy cuz I won't
give up my old YoYo
but I love the way you feel in my hands
I love the way you give into all of my demands

I don't want a shiny new one
I love my chipped and cracked old blue one
so me thinks in the garbage it should go
but I love my old YoYo

In the garbage it won't go
In the garbage it won't go

I don't want a shiny new one
I love my chipped and cracked old blue one
so me thinks in the garbage it should go
but I love my old YoYo
Track Name: Moondrops
You can fill it up
with your favourite sweater whatever
you can save a thousand whales
make the dark see, see sunshine

It's an empty space
where the moondrops are falling
and everyday, you'll fall in love
with your pen in the air
you can write what's not there
and everyday, you'll fall in love
in love

I want summer forever
and some snow would be good too
I want the memorials in the streets
to commemorate the last party

It's an empty space
where the moondrops are falling
and everyday, you'll fall in love
with your pen in the air
you can write what's not there
and everyday, you'll fall in love
with nothing, nothing
and everyday, you'll fall
Track Name: Put Your Hands on Me
Waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you

I'm at the point where I'm demanding
your way too close and I can't stand it

Put your hands on me
put your hands on me
I'm waiting impatiently
I'm waiting impatient out your hands on
me, on me

Don't lead me on with just one kiss
it's way too soon to know what I'm missing

Hands on me, hands on me
hands on me, hands on

I can feel you in my bones
nothing can be as good
put your hands on
Track Name: That's what we Wanted
It was only supposed to be
for the summer
I never ever thought you'd be
more than a lover
Now i'm sitting here
waiting for you to get home
it's heavy on my mind
where we, where we went wrong

Do do, do do do
do do, do do do
do do, do do do
That's what we wanted to do
to do
do do do do do do do-o
oh oh but that's what we wanted to do
to do

If I ever had the chance
I know what i'd do
I'd never steal another glance
and I'd see from your view
Oh the sun would rise
I-i-i'd kiss your face
and every time I fall
I'd fall.......with grace

That's what we wanted
Track Name: Away
I'll float on the sea
don't bother me
and I'll never come back again
Up in the clouds
I'll have no doubts
that I'll never be here again

take me now
take me now

Away
take me now
A way
find somehow
when the snow turns to rain
cant go back again, oh
take me now
take me now

My heart is black
Still I'll go back
but/and you'll never do it again
I'll count to 5
and close my eyes
remembering to forget again
