Lay Down Your Arms
Written by Caffey, Shipley, Schuckett
Lead vocals: Charlotte Caffey
Your words are quick, and they cut so deep
The walls go up, waiting here, wishing here, wishing here, waiting
You forget I know your tender spots, I can hurt you too,
But I'm the one loving you, so come on and love me
Chorus:
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Why'd you want to go
And shoot love to the ground
Lay down your arms
Lay down, down, down, down
Lay with me
So close then the moment's shattered, like nothing mattered
Pushing me, pulling you, pulling me, pushing
Don't want to tear our love apart, I want to give my heart
Can't we start living here, giving
Chorus
So we are in love, so we are at war
But we can be on the same side
(repeat chorus)

When The Sun Goes Down
Written by Caffey, Shipley, Schuckett
Lead vocals: Gia Ciambotti
Sound clip (RealAudio)
When the sun goes down, when the night star falls
I can see you come, I can hear you call
In every corner of the world, in every boy and every girl
There lives a hunger to be free
With every passion that I feel, and every secret I reveal
Oh let the night unchain my heart
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul (repeat)
When the sun goes down, when the night star falls
I can see you come, I can hear you call
Come meet me underneath the stars, and you can show me who you are
Shadows of love under the moon
Into the darkness now we go, every heart will find its soul (repeat)
When the sun goes down, when the city sleeps
We can be ourselves, in this land of dreams (repeat...)
When the sun goes down

Perfect View
Written by Caffey, Shipley
Lead vocals: Charlotte Caffey
Sitting in your car, it's the edge of the night
You turn to me baby, and I say that it's alright
You stare at the moon, then the music starts
The radio plays a song, for broken hearts
Your eyes turn a deep shade of blue
You can try but you can't hide the truth
I'm on the outside looking right into you
It's a perfect view, and they say...
Chorus:
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Standing next to you
Na Na Na Na Na Na
It's a perfect view
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Looking straight through you
Na Na Na Na Na Na
It's a perfect view
I want to walk away, but I just can't go
'Cause I've got this fear, can't let it show
I'm a man alone don't get too near
Are those the words you mean for me to hear?
Who you are, it's something I cannot change
I realize that we both are the same
I'm on the outside looking right into you
It's a perfect view, and they say...
Chorus
Sitting in your car, it's the edge of the night
You turn to me baby, and I say it's all right
Just for tonight, can't we pretend
And make a world where nothing has to end, and they say...
Chorus

Fear No Love
Written by Caffey, Shipley
Lead vocals: Meredith Brooks
Sound clip (RealAudio)
Living a lifetime without love, I swear that it's a sin
I could turn away from you, but something pulls me in
Should I let you get too close, so I have nowhere to go
Can't turn back, I don't want to turn back
Chorus:
Fear no love, I fear no heart
Take my hand, you can take my kiss
Right from the start
You give me strength
To open up
Baby, when it comes to you, I fear no love
I have always known the words
To keep this moment underneath the stars with you
The past just burns away
If I let myself go free, will you be there next to me
Don't turn back, I don't want to turn back
Chorus
Can't turn back, I don't want to turn back (repeat)

Time Waits For No One
Written by Caffey, Crewe, Corbetta
Lead vocals: Charlotte Caffey
Days go by, nothing stays the same
As you and I move on, move on
Tonight is tomorrow's memory
Who knows where we both may be by dawn
Time goes on and on and on and (repeats)
Time waits for no one
Don't let it pass us by
Time waits for no one
It goes on and on
Touch me now, baby, keep my kiss
And show me that you're real
We just have this time together
Can't say whether we will ever be, you and me
Time goes on and on and on and (repeats)
Seize the moment, here between us
Only stars above can see us now
Time goes on and on and on and (repeats)

50,000 Candles Burning
Written by Caffey, Shipley, Schuckett, Stone, Melone
Lead vocals: Gia Ciambotti, Meredith Brooks
The world's asleep, don't despair
Got all I need, my love is strong and clear
Let's break away, you and I
Forget the future, leave the past behind
All it takes is just one little spark, feel it, from me
We'll make a chain of light in the dark, baby, let our hearts be free
We've got 50,000 candles burning, 50,000 candles burning
Let's do the dance of life
You know everywhere the world is turning
50,000 candles burning
It's my party, it's my party tonight
No time for tears, dry your eyes
The world could vanish in a flash of light
Oh, precious time just fades away
Let's celebrate the love we have today
All it takes is just one little spark, feel it, from me
We'll make a chain of light in the dark, baby, let our hearts be free
We've got 50,000 candles burning, 50,000 candles burning
Let's do the dance of life
You know everywhere the world is turning
50,000 candles burning
It's my party, it's my party tonight (repeat)
We've got 50,000 candles burning

Should I Let You In
Written by Caffey, Holden
Lead vocals: Meredith Brooks
Sound clip (RealAudio)
SOUND CLIP - WAV (490k)
Should I let you in, into my house with its concrete walls
Should I let you in, into my room with its curtains drawn
I want to open up, and let you walk right through my door
Can you tell me, is it worth it, the risk any more
Should I let you in
Chorus:
Should I let you in, should I let you in, should I let you in
Should I let you in, into my far from perfect place
Should I let you see where I keep my secrets safe
I want to open up, but I've been hurt this way before
Can you tell me, is it worth the risk any more
Should I let you in
Chorus
Through my window, I see you now
You're looking in, I'm looking out
My heart will make up its mind somehow
Should I let you in, into my house
Should I let you in, inside these walls
Should I let you in, into my heart
Should I let you in, inside my world
Chorus

We Never Met
Written by Caffey, Crewe, Corbetta
Lead vocals: Gia Ciambotti
Sound clip (RealAudio)
SOUND CLIP - WAV (648k)
He appears in a dream I can't forget
Though we never met, no we never met
I wake up with my eyes all soaking wet (crying)
'Cause we never met, no we never met
Over and over, night after night he's there
Under the covers, he answers my lover's prayer
In a dream I can't forget
Though we never met, no we never met
I am left with the lonely same regret
That we never met, no we never met
Come to me baby, out of the midnight skies
Wishing and hoping, he will materialize
I'm searching in my dreams, tearing at the seams
What's it take to make this dream come true
He appears in a dream I can't forget
Though we never met, no we never met
I wake up with my eyes all soaking wet (crying)
'Cause we never met, no we never met

Tomorrow
Written by Marder
Lead vocals: Gia Ciambotti, Meredith Brooks, Charlotte Caffey
This is no place for a lady
This city's never been too kind
Winter winds blow down the alley
The only home this woman found tonight
You can walk away, someone will find her
You can help her tomorrow
Tomorrow, there's a ray of hope inside
Someone will remember them tomorrow
Tomorrow, if we could see the other side
Keep your promise this time tomorrow
He lives alone in a small room
A powerful man before the fall
He was everything to you
Now you don't talk to him at all
Maybe some day you'll visit, talk about old times
You can call him tomorrow
Tomorrow , there's a ray of hope inside
Someone will remember them tomorrow
Tomorrow, if we could see the other side
Keep your promise this time tomorrow
Keep your promise this time tomorrow
Many tomorrows are gone now, here you sit alone tonight
Maybe you'll walk with someone who loves you
Don't wait until tomorrow
Tomorrow, there's a ray of hope inside
Someone will remember them tomorrow
Tomorrow, if we could see the other side
Keep your promise this time tomorrow
Keep your promise this time tomorrow
Keep your promise this time tomorrow

Out In The Fields
Written by Caffey, Caffey, Carlisle
Lead vocals: Gia Ciambotti, Meredith Brooks, Charlotte Caffey
Empty streets like winter cold, feelings cut without a trace
Hands reach out ready to fold, another tear falls into place
Running through a quiet fire, I can see the flames grow wild
I hear a crimson word, inside, I am free
Chorus:
Out in the fields, the sky is burning
I feel the joy returning, out in the fields
Listen to the winds of heaven, I feel with a rhyme and reason
Scattered pictures like my thoughts
Shattered glass watch where I walk
Unspoken words tear me apart, another hole right through my heart
Looking through an open window, touching all around me
I see a silver rose, outside, I am free
Chorus (repeat)
