Jackpot 02:40
You've got your poker face, giving nothing away And I can't tell - do you like me or not Babe? Am I mistaking the signs or are you just taking your time? Oh I can't tell - do you like me or not Babe? What have you got to lose? It's your move A spin of the wheel - you might get lucky A roll of those dice - it could be your day Don't say you're not a betting man You're playing the game like you play best You keep your cards close to your chest But you've got to go out on a limb If you want to win If you want to win my hand You know I can't deny, the stakes are high And I can understand if you're weighing it up Babe Risking it all, you could fly, you could fall So is it worth you fighting for? Do you want it or not Babe? You might get lucky Take a chance - it could be your day Don't say you're not a betting man You're playing the game like you play best You keep your cards close to your chest But you've got to go out on a limb If you want to win If you want to win my hand The odds are on your side you see But you've got to gamble to win the prize, it could be the jackpot Trust and believe in A spin of the wheel - you might get lucky A roll of those dice - it could be your day Don't say you're not a betting man Don't keep me in suspense Baby You've got to get off the fence Baby And let me know Do you want me or not?

Miss Me 02:44
You became the enemy somehow Somewhere along the line, I made this a war I hate the way I feel about you now Never enough any more So my friend, what should I do now, do now? You became the one that I wanted Somewhere along the line, I opened my eyes I love the way I feel about you now Suddenly all seems right So my love, why don't you miss me, miss me? I don't want to play these games But I'm in over my head Wishing you with me I'd be lying if I said I'm feeling all grown up now Why don't you miss me? You became what everything rests on Decisions to raise or fold, to leave or to stay You know the way I feel about you now Are you going to take this away? Now that I want it so bad, so bad I don't want to play these games But I'm in over my head Wishing you with me I'd be lying if I said I'm feeling in control now Why don't you miss me? I know it's a long time coming I know it's a lot to bear I know it could all go wrong, all go wrong Yes, I'm scared I don't want to play these games But I'm in over my head Wishing you with me I'd be lying if I said I know where this will end But tell me you miss me

On My Sleeve 03:49
Can I give you my heart? I promise it won't be forever I just need you to hold it While I stitch it back together It's not broken It's just too open to leave This is what happens When I wear it on my sleeve Can you handle my heart? I can't promise it won't bleed 'Cause since I poured it all out to you It's still liable to leak But it's not broken It's just too open you see This always seems To happen to me Just hold it steady 'til I'm ready to take it back I've got this all under control It's just that I can't hold my heart And hold onto you as well Can you watch over my heart But nothing more than that? It doesn't need your protection, much less disconnection Just allowances for what might spill out 'Cause it's not broken It's just wide open for now But in time I'll get this figured out Just hold it steady 'til I'm ready to take it back I've got this all under control It's just that I can't hold my heart 'Til I let you go And you could say my heart betrays my Lingering commitment to hope Well okay, I guess But what good is a heart that doesn't dare to dream? And what good is a heart if it isn't bursting at the seams? Can I trust you with my heart? It's the essence of me I'm kinda new to this Still getting used to vulnerability Can I give you my heart? I don't want to deceive If you can bear it I'll wear it on my sleeve

Come & Go 04:09
Hearts in your eyes, like a cartoon Love on your mind, you hope it comes soon What are you searching for? What am I not enough of? Well, here I am again, but... I'll let you go then, Babe Come and go then, Babe I'll let you go then, Babe You know where I am if you want me Spreading your wings, but nervous to fly Wandering far and wide, hypnotised by the size of the sky What are you searching for? What is it you're so afraid of? What if you miss your chance to soar? Well, here I am again, but... I'll let you go then, Babe... Hey you, do you remember back then When I said I'd never see you again? That was an invitation Hey you, you've got an open door Come and see me when you finally figure out What you're really looking for I'll let you go then, Babe...

My Love 03:05
My misplaced love will eventually starve if not fed Still I endlessly replay every throwaway remark you have ever said I would like to think I had the self control to resist But you insist on still existing My misplaced love is ill advised, I'm compromised I find it hard to stay perfectly quiescent in your presence Oh I try, but woe is I, I can't pull off 'sophisticated' When I'm so captivated And I would like to see you try To walk in my shoes for a while My misplaced love has overstayed its welcome It's becoming quite a problem surely more befitting of a younger girl And I'm writing all the same songs over and again Old maladies to new melodies But I would like to see you try To live in my head all the time I don't think you'd survive But then again, you could justify every lullaby Bring it all together in a lovely operetta Maybe not, maybe I'm just trying to write myself a neater life But one day I will find a better place for my love to come alive A man who's worth my time Now I'm making all the same mistakes over and again Old habits die hard

Held 04:05
All the seas you want to part for me I've swum across before I've even thought to pray And the light you want to hold for me I do without and stumble round to feel my way I get by okay on my own Then you let the floods come rushing in Washing away my fortress, my stronghold You shatter my illusion of control And here among the crashing waves I find I'm safe, held in your hand All the seas you'd have me walk upon I row across because that seems more sensible Then I watch as others step into the water And watch them run to you And wonder when I'll get my miracle So Lord, if that is you, then bid me come And when I sink into the waves I'll find I'm safe, held in your hand Lord, if I know you You won't let me drown here, sink down here Lord, if I know you You will keep me safe here 'til This storm is still Held in your hand My castle, nothing more than rubble So quick to fall, for all my trouble And yet I stand For you've shaken all that could be shaken Stripped away, but not forsaken your child
