Lyrics by Michael Aldrich and Robert Benson
Mirror Mirror
-------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
Little darling, can't you see
you can't always, hope to be
the most attractive woman
in the room
So why must you always try
to be the apple, in every guys eyes
darling, don't you feel ashamed
Oh no, you just say
Chorus:
Mirror Mirror on the wall
you always look to see
Am I the fairest one of them all
but realities answers, just get in your way
Verse 2:
We all saw you prance into the room
you floated though like a tune
you played yourself, oh so well last night
But then I saw you start to cry
that little thorn pressed deep into your side
when you saw that age before beauty it never wins
So
Chorus:
Mirror Mirror on the wall
you always look to see
Am I the fairest one of them all
but realities answers, just get in your way
Instrumental
Chorus:
Mirror Mirror on the wall
you always look to see
Am I the fairest one of them all
but realities answers, just get in your way
Verse 4:
Little darling, can't you see
you can't always, hope to be
the most attractive woman
in the room
in the room
you can't always hope to be the most
attractive woman in the room
in the room
in the room
in the room
hey
Be the One

You don't know that I’m around
I sit and watch your dreams flower
I'd love to help them grow

Can’t Blame Me
-------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
I switch off the light
turn the sound down
on another lonely evening
Well I try as I might
to turn this around
I just can't lose this feeling
I'm drawing my blinds
I still see their face
I can still hear them talking
I try to unwind
away from the race
with every new door I’m locking
They can't blame me
No they can't blame me
Chorus:
Cause I've sold my soul
to late night melodrama
deep in my hole
switch on my tv
I owe my soul
to late night melodrama
Seems so real to me
now I’m facing my reality
Verse 2:
I drop to the floor
losing my grip
listen to the howling silence
if they come through my door
I'll shoot from the hip
trust in my self reliance
They can't blame me no no no
They can’t blame me.
Cause I've sold my soul
to late night melodrama
deep in my hole
switch on my tv
I owe my soul
to late night melodrama
Seems so real to me
no no no
they can't blame me
Chorus:
Cause I've sold my soul
to late night melodrama
deep in my hole
switch on my tv
I owe my sold
to late night melodrama
Seems so real to me
now I’m facing my reality
Verse 1 repeat:
Seems so real to me
no no no
they can't blame me
Chorus:
Cause I've sold my soul
to late night melodrama
deep in my hole
switch on my tv
I owe my soul
to late night melodrama
yeah yeah
Crawling Back
-------------------------------------------
Verse 1:
Can't stop this silent screaming
Look through the darkness try to find some light
Yet I can't will this pain away
Both my angels and my demons
are telling me not to compromise
But to which one do I pray
I still hear you call
I still hear your name
Chorus:
We both hear the same voice calling
But we react so differently
We both took the same steps crawling
But we gave up too easily. yeah yeah
Bridge:
Better to be slapped with the truth
Then be kissed with a lie
Don't let me forget how it feels
to be kissed before I die
to be kissed before I die
Oooh can you hear me now
calling calling
Verse 2:
This game of balances and checks
it doesn't matter what you're owed
or if you're left out in the dark
Love has its odd affects
the limbs grow heavy and the mind is slowed
like you're taking a seat on Mars
I still hear you call
I still hear your name
Chorus:
We both hear the same voice calling
But we react so differently
We both took the same steps crawling
But we gave up too easily.
Verse 3:
Despite our Artful Dodging
we both knew there'd come a time
we'd leave our castles in the sky
Look how our heartfelt dreaming
got so lost in space and time
Now I feel so deaf, so stone cold blind
I still hear you call, oooh can you hear me now
I still hear your name
Chorus:
We both hear the same voice calling
But we react so differently
We both took the same steps crawling
But we gave up too easily. yeah yeah
Outro:
Oooh can you hear me now, calling calling
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl back to you
I'm gonna crawl, I'm gonna crawl back to you
Out of Control
------------------------------------
Verse 1
I know it's wrong to love you
the way that I do
I won't excuse myself
when my feelings are true
Chorus:
And in the Middle of the night
I hear your voice that calls to bring me
back to you
Verse 2:
I'd walk a million miles
in the rain and the snow
just to be with you
you know I can't let go
Chorus:
And in the Middle of the night
I hear your voice that calls to bring me
back to you
Though I pretend I want to fight
I know there's really nothing left
for me to do, except to love you
Bridge:
This feeling that I've done something wrong
Is all inside my head
Between love and beauty, lies the answers to why
I feel so out of control
Instrumental
Verse 3:
I know it's wrong to love you
the way that I do
I won't excuse myself
when my feelings are true
Chorus:
