  Not On My Life by High Child
  in Indie album On The Way
  
  5:34
  
  79¢
  
  I was talking to the one they know
  Telling me to go
  Not on my life
  Wandering 'round with everyone they see
  Telling me to be
  Not on my life
  All those stupid things I've said
  They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
  Making me feel like there's something instead
  Telling me everything will be alright
  Tell it to me again
  
  I was falling from the sky above
  From never ending love
  Not on my life
  But everything is never as it seems
  Forever in my dreams
  Not on my life
  All those stupid things you've said
  They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
  Making me feel like I'm already there
  Telling me everything will be alright
  Tell it to me again
  
  But there ain't no use in telling me stories
  Cos I know everything will turn out fine
  When I was young they told me there's no other way
  To reach the other side
  
  But do they know?
  And do they see?
  Do they know?
  
  I was talking to the one they know
  Telling me to go
  Not on my life
  Wandering 'round with everyone they see
  Telling me to be
  Not on my life
  All those stupid things I've said
  They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
  Making me feel like there's something instead
  Telling me everything will be alright
  Telling me everything will be alright
  Telling me everything will be alright
  Tell it to me again

  We'll Never Make It Alone by High Child

  79¢
  
  I came looking for something new
  Looking for something that was true
  But the whole world is so against me
  
  She came into and out of the blue
  Looking for me, never looking for you
  But the whole world is so against me
  
  Cos everyone is waiting for some kind of changing
  And nothing's gonna stop me from the ending
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make, we'll never break
  We'll never make it alone
  
  So then I look around for the day
  Looking to me to believe in a way
  That the whole world is so against me
  
  She came into and out of the blue
  Looking for me, never looking for you
  Will she ever see the ending?
  
  Cos I'm still waiting for some kind of changing
  And nothing's gonna stop me from the ending
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make, we'll never break
  We'll never make it alone
  
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make it alone
  We'll never make, we'll never break
  We'll never make it alone
  
  We will never make this life alone

  I'll think of you some more each day
  Cos I tell all my secrets to my guitar
  When I'm looking for answers to where we are
  
  One day I'll find a place to go
  One day I'll find a place I'll know
  And I know
  That it will always be the same old way
  Nothing's ever gonna change
  So don't you try and give it away
  Don't leave me down
  
  One day I'll find a place to go
  I'll play my songs to a girl I know
  I'll lead the way if you follow me
  I've seen the places you want to see
  
  One day I'll find a place to go
  One day I'll find a place I'll know
  And I know
  That it will always be the same old way

  Cos I'm moving closer to the sun
  I'm passing clouds by one by one
  Cos I tell all my secrets to my guitar
  When I'm looking for answers to where we are
  I want the world to know my name
  That's all I need from you now each day

  Coming out of nowhere you're dreaming all your life
  Living in this white world watching it all go by
  Living through your nightmares to floating in the sea
  Watching all this white world fall inside of me
  
  'Cos I know the stars don't see me and
  I know that you don't need me
  I know that you don't feel my pain
  I know the stars don't see me and
  I know that you don't need me
  Cos I want the world to know my name
  And I think that's why I'm here
  
  I've never had this feeling at any place or time
  I'm falling through this white world with everything I find
  
  'Cos I know the stars don't see me and
  I know that you don't need me
  I know that you don't feel my pain
  I know the stars don't see me and
  I know that you don't need me
  'Cos I want the world to know my name
  And I think that's why I'm here
  
  You know what's in my head
  You know what's in my head
  And I think that's why I'm here
  Just to live inside your fear
  And I think that's why I came
  So the world can know my name
  So the world can know my name
  So the world can know my name

  In circles

  There she comes all dressed in black
  She's a sheer queen of heart attack
  She's a mean machine in a life of love
  But I know you'll be on my side
  
  No more misery, just a song that we sing
  No more misery for me
  No more misery, just a life without greed
  No more misery for me
  
  There is nothing more to prove
  She's out to get you win or lose
  Can you hear the screams of your lonely life
  But I know you'll be on my side
  
  No more misery, just a song that we sing
  No more misery for me
  No more misery, just a life without greed
  No more misery for me
  
  She's only waiting for the chance to shine
  She's never waiting for you
  Nobody's waiting
  Nobody's waiting for you
  
  No more misery, just a song that we sing
  No more misery for me
  No more misery, just a life without greed
  No more misery for me
  
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more
  I said no more, I said no more misery

  Well good morning it's a new day in your elementary ground
  It's the time to be the captain or the loser of the crown
  But you know it's true, you've seen it in their eyes
  And you know it's true, there's nothing to disguise
  
  But if somebody looks into your heart,
  They'll find no room to spare
  And if somebody tears your world apart
  That's fine, keep your head up high
  
  Cos I've seen your face in a thousand different ways
  And I've seen you smile
  And I know that love is somewhere on the way
  
  Well you know that he's the kind of boy who's physically sound
  And you know that if you took your chance he'd punch you to the ground
  But you know it's true, you've seen it in his eyes
  And you know it's true, there's nothing to disguise
  
  But if somebody looks into your heart,
  They'll find no room to spare
  And if somebody tears your world apart
  That's fine, keep your head up high
  
  Cos I've seen your face in a thousand different ways
  And I've seen you smile
  And I know that love is somewhere on the way
  Yeah, I know that love is somewhere on the way

  When I was young I thought I had my own way
  I knew exactly where I wanted to belong
  Now I look into my own reflection
  I know I'm looking in a new direction now
  
  But time when I was with you and it's slipping away every day
  And the teacher never listens to the boy with a dream anyway
  
  All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
  All we ever needed was a chance
  All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
  Is that too much for anyone to ask?
  
  Now forever isn't such a long time
  Cos I've been talking to the people that I know
  Now I'm looking in a new direction
  I'll never look into my own reflection now
  
  But time when I was with you and it's slipping away every day
  And the teacher never listens but there's something that I wanna say
  
  All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
  All we ever needed was a chance
  All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
  Is that too much for anyone to ask?
  
  Now you've gone and thrown it all away
  The time has gone there's nothing you can say
  But it's never gonna change
  It'll always be this way
  And it's never gonna change
  Anymore
  
  All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
  All we ever needed was a chance
  All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
  Is that too much for anyone to ask?

  When I was young I thought that I could find a better way
  I dreamed a dream for all my life and now it's gone away
  And now I don't believe a word they say
  And everywhere I look I see your face
  I'd like to take you with me but I
  Haven't got a ticket anymore
  
  And now the dream has been and gone to find a better day
  It turned my life right upside down and left me on my face
  And now it's up to me to make a change
  This fairy tale is more than I can take
  I'd like to take you with me but I
  Haven't got a ticket anymore
  
  And all I ever wanted was a chance to say that I am not afraid
  Now I see a new beginning
  Now there's something to believe in
  Now the time has come for me to
  Tell the world that I am not afraid
  
  So in the end the story goes that I will have to wait
  And now I look into my eyes to see what I create
  And I believe that time will overcome
  And I believe that love will seal my fate
  I'd like to take you with me but I
  Haven't got a ticket anymore
  I'd like to take you with me but I
  Haven't got a ticket anymore
  No I haven't got a ticket anymore
  No I haven't got a ticket anymore

  Paint your picture on my wall
  I'll see you when you come to call and
  I am not a stranger to myself.
  There's no need to terrify
  Your love for me will never die
  And I am not a stranger to myself.
  
  I've seen you in your silver room
  In your paper house with your golden rules
  
  But when the songbird sings into your ear just let go
  And if the love burns deep inside your fear let it show
  We'll let the road run on forever never give it away
  We'll let the flames burn out tonight
  
  Send me a postcard from your mind
  I'll see you on the other side and
  Make it out to whom it may concern
  Images of broken dreams and
  Tales of woe and pastoral scenes and
  Poetry of meaningless design
  
  I've seen you in your silver room
  In your paper house with your golden rules
  
  But when the songbird sings into your ear just let go
  And if the love burns deep inside your fear let it show
  We'll let the road run on forever never give it away
  We'll let the flames burn out tonight
  We'll let the flames burn out tonight
