Silver Screen 03:27
lyrics
buy track
You’re like the girl in the movies, the one I fall for every time
 Look like you're straight out of a romcom
 Maybe I should come up with a clever line
 Then you would laugh and smile with me
 I’d see a twinkle in your eyes
 We’d go for dinner and a movie
 Then make out by the river side It’s like a dream. Falling in love with you is like a 
movie scene. We could watch our lives played out on the
 silver screen. We could fall in love just
 you and me. That’s just how our love could be, I could be your Joaquin Phoenix
 to your Reese Witherspoon
 I think you could pull off the accent
 and I could learn the Folsom Prison Blues
 You could be Cameron Diaz
 when she’s in 'The Holiday'
 Snow outside is so romantic
, sit by the fire on Christmas day I don’t want the part
 where I mess it up
 where you walk away
 while we’re still in love
 I don’t want the scene
 where I fall apart
 Where I let you down
 No I won’t break your heart No, I'll never break your heart

Good Day 03:09
lyrics

She gets up all alone turns on the radio they play the songs she wants to hear Boo Radley's playing out she forgets she's feeling down gets dressed and gets on out of there In the car on the way to work they play her favourite song and she knows It's gonna be a good day Gonna watch the clouds all fade away It's gonna be a good day Today After work she hits the gym with her headphones plugged in she smiles at the the day she's had Looks out across the room at a guy she thinks is cute and wonders if he noticed her On the way out of that place he turns and smiles at her and she knows It's gonna be a good day Gonna watch the clouds all fade away It's gonna be a good day Today And she knows that this life can only get on brighter And she hopes that this way is how life carries on But she knows that this life will have its storms and lightning And she knows in tough times she's got to carry on She's got to carry on When she's feeling down she'll play her favourite songs and pray that...

Young Summer Love 03:09
lyrics

It's a beautiful day Not a cloud in the sky I love the breeze in your hair As we go for a drive. The reflection of the sun Bouncing off your hair There's a twinkle in your eyes This day can take us anywhere It's a nice day for a drive It's so good to be alive Stereo up and windows down No-one else but us around We sing along as the radio plays Beatles, Blink, Colbie Caillat There's no place else I'd rather be Young summer love like we were 18 Like we were 18 The summer is here So our summer songs play loud We're singing to the stereo Until our lungs run out We stop off at the drive through And we sit out in the sun Out of all the girls I've known I think you are the one so I sing Music's always gonna be our first love The stereo plays the soundtrack of our lives Music's always gonna be our first love These songs are our memories, they stay for all time

Oh, Serena 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Every head turns, when you enter the place
 With your wavy blonde hair and beautiful face
 at the glance of your smile my heart is ablaze 
 When your eyes first met mine things were never the same
 And I don't think I've ever felt this way before
 And it's too soon to say love but I wanna know you more Oh Serena,
 I wanna be with ya
 I wanna see you every day
 We could go to parties
 Have dates in restaurants
 Go to the Hamptons for a holiday
 Oh Serena,
 I just wanna kiss ya
 I think we’d make it to the very end
 I’d always trust you
 You could tell me your secrets
 We could be the best of friends
 Oh, Serena You’ve got a wild side and I think that’s ok
 Cos we’ve all got a past and the past’s where they stay
 But now a year on, you’ve moved on yes you’ve changed
 And you spent time away and the past is erased
 And you’re a much more beautiful person than you were before
 And I didn’t know the old you but I want to know you more
 And I'm taking this song lightly cos
 I know that you're Blake Lively
 And Serena isn't real
 You're just an actress in a tv show
 Oh xoxo
 But this is how I feel Oh, Serena

She Doesn't Like My Songs 03:35
lyrics
buy track
She said that she didn’t like my songs But she never saw me play No she never came along I sent her an invite by Facebook and text but she made her excuses and said ‘I’ll come when you play next’ She said she’s washing her hair or that she’s busy tonight Or that she doesn’t want to travel through the snow and the ice She said I’m home in the warm and I don’t like the cold She said ‘I’ll come in the summer’ but her story’s getting old And I’ve heard it all before Her excuses are a bore I just want the truth and don’t sugar coat it And this is what she said She said that she didn’t like my songs But she never saw me play No she never came along I sent her an invite by Facebook and text but she made her excuses and said ‘I’ll come when you play next’ I stood on stage that night with my friends out there And the only person missing was the one who’s meant to care I didn’t know what to do, so I played through my set Then I dialled up her number, knowing what would come next I know she doesn’t like my songs I know she’ll never hear this, she’ll never hear this No, she doesn’t like my songs No won't ever hear this, I bet she never hears this, no she won't ever hear this song

Weekend 03:30

Go to the fair late Friday night The music's loud and the lights are bright Ride the waltzer going round and round Holding on so we don't fall out Make our way round all the stalls Candy floss and marshmallows Chestnuts roast on an autumn night Everything feels so damn right And I love, love, love being part of this life And I live, live, live for the Friday nights And I hope, hope, hope times like this don’t end It’s so great, great, great hanging out with my friends Hit the club on Saturday night The DJ’s got those jamsso right Music from when we were young We're getting older but having fun Stacey’s Mom’s still got it going on when ‘In too deep’ is the next song A 3am taxi ride home another night has come and gone And I love, love, love being part of this life And I live, live, live for the Saturday nights And I hope, hope, hope times like this don’t end It’s so great, great, great hanging out with my friends Hey are you ready for the weekend? Are you ready to hang out with your friends? I’m so damn ready for the weekend I’m so damn ready to hang out with my friends
