**Song Title: "Running in Place"** *(Verse 1)* You say time has passed, but I'm still stuck, Trapped in the moments when we were enough. I hold on to memories that cloud my mind, Trying to let go, but I'm tied to the past, still blind. Now I'm reaching out to someone new, But they can’t fill the hole left by you. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take, it feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time slip by. I can't outrun what I knew— How my heart fell hard for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Verse 2)* I tried to let go, but I still hear your name, Every corner I turn, it’s all the same. The laughter we shared, the way you embraced, It’s etched in my soul, a memory I can’t erase. Now I’m caught in this endless chase, Searching for love I can't replace. *(Pre-Chorus)* Every step I take, it feels like a lie, Chasing shadows, watching time slip by. I can't outrun what I knew— How my heart fell hard for you. *(Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Trapped in the echoes of your embrace. *(Bridge)* I don’t know how to break free, From this love that won’t let me be. You're a ghost that haunts my mind, A love I can't leave behind. I’m running in circles, stuck in this race, Forever chasing a love I can’t replace. *(Final Chorus)* I keep running, but I’m drawn right back, To the pain that keeps pulling me off track. Every road I take, every turn I make, Leads me in circles to a past I can’t shake. I keep running, but I’m stuck in place, Forever haunted by your face.

[Verse] Neon signs are glowing bright City soundtracks in the night Dancing shadows in the street Where our hearts and rhythm meet [Verse 2] Lost in alleys we explore Footsteps echo on the floor Whispers travel with the breeze Secrets hidden in the trees [Chorus] Hey now get your hands up high Touch the stars up in the sky Feel the magic in the air All our worries disappear [Verse 3] Mystery just out of sight Half past midnight feels so right Strangers sharing knowing grins Every start marks all new spins [Bridge] City lights keep pulsing on Every note a new dawn Can you feel it in your veins Urban life's electric chains [Chorus] Hey now get your hands up high Touch the stars up in the sky Feel the magic in the air All our worries disappear

[Verse] दिल की हर धड़कन में नाम तेरा है मेरे ख्वाबों में बस तू सवेरा है तू पास हो या दूर फर्क नहीं पड़ता मेरे हर लम्हे में सिर्फ तेरा ही बसेरा है [Verse 2] तेरे हाथों में ही मेरे अरमान हैं तेरी आँखों में सारे आसमान हैं तू जहाँ भी हो मैं वहीँ हुँ तेरा साथ ही मेरी पहचान है [Chorus] तुझसे मिलकर जो खुशी मिली है उसे शब्दों में कह पाना मुश्किल है तेरे बिना ये दिन पूरा नहीं होता मेरा हर पल तुझसे ही मुमकिन है [Verse] फिजाओं में तेरा ही नाम गूंजे सपनों में तेरा ही रंग बिखरे तेरे बिना ये जहाँ सुना है तेरी हंसी से ही सजी रातें सवेरे [Bridge] तेरा इंतज़ार करती नज़रें तुझको ही खोजती हैं सारी राहें तेरे बिना दिल का ये हाल है जैसे चाँदनी रात बिना चाँद के [Chorus] तुझसे मिलकर जो खुशी मिली है उसे शब्दों में कह पाना मुश्किल है तेरे बिना ये दिन पूरा नहीं होता मेरा हर पल तुझसे ही मुमकिन है

[Verse] Walk the midnight streets so bright Keep your wits sharp in the night Wisdom is your shining shield Bravery's your strongest field [Verse 2] Eyes wide open see the signs Trust your gut and draw the lines Courage in your heart does blaze Stand up tall in life's great maze [Chorus] Guardians of light we rise Strength and courage in our eyes Through the shadows we will shine We create our own design [Verse 3] Choices are the keys we hold In our hands a story told Take control and drive your fate Lock the door and guard your gate [Bridge] Together we can change the tide Hands in hands we turn the ride Knowledge is our sword and might In this journey we unite [Chorus] Guardians of light we rise Strength and courage in our eyes Through the shadows we will shine We create our own design

(Verse 1) Two months ago, you walked in my life, Turned my world brighter, no need for the night. Every laugh, every kiss, every little thing, Feels like a love song only we can sing. (Chorus) Baby, you're my heart, you're my dream come true, Every moment’s better just being with you. Two months and counting, forever feels near, With you by my side, there’s nothing to fear. (Verse 2) From your smile to the way you say my name, You’ve made love feel like a beautiful game. Every day, I’m falling deeper in, This is just the start; let forever begin. (Chorus) Baby, you're my heart, you're my dream come true, Every moment’s better just being with you. Two months and counting, forever feels near, With you by my side, there’s nothing to fear. (Bridge) Two months is just a piece of the sky, With you, I feel like I’m learning to fly. Here’s to us, here’s to more, let’s make it last, Our love’s a fire, burning bright and fast. (Outro) Two months with you, and it’s only the start, You’ve given new rhythm to my beating heart. Here’s to today, and all we’ll go through, Forever and always, I’ll choose you.

[Verse] Lala in the morning light we fly Like kites in summer we touch the sky Dance on rooftops feeling high Catch a dream then say goodbye [Verse 2] Lala in the evening breeze we sway Under stars we find our way Whisper secrets night won't say Till the dawn comes to play [Chorus] Lala we sing the night away With every beat we shout hooray Feel the rhythm let it stay In our hearts come what may [Verse 3] Lala on a moonlit night so clear With you There’s nothing to fear Hand in hand we disappear The world fades but you're still here [Bridge] Lala echoes in the air so sweet Every heartbeat skips a beat Dancing shadows on the street In this moment we are complete [Chorus] Lala we sing the night away With every beat we shout hooray Feel the rhythm let it stay In our hearts come what may

[Instrumental]

They told me to sit down and shut my mouth Said I ain't got no right to speak out loud Told me to follow the road they paved Said I ain't no leader anyway They told me who was good, who was wrong Old men in power, singing the same old song Old white men, sittin' high on their throne But we all know they’ll pay when they’re all alone First came the preachers, telling me lies With their holy books and watchful eyes That Catholic cross hung over my head No secret too small, no word unsaid They told me about Jesus and his saving grace But I saw fear written all over their face Old white men, preachin' down from on high But even they can’t escape the fire when they die They cut my hair, tried to break my soul Told me who I was, and took control Made me swear oaths I could never keep But my heart stayed strong while they were asleep As a boy, I learned to stand my ground They thought they won, but look who’s still around Old white men, without a trace of remorse But in the end, they'll all meet hell, of course

[Verse] He loved her more than morning sun Held her close till breath was done In his eyes she was the world In his arms his fate unfurled [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone [Verse 2] He chased her dreams through fields of gold Dared to love as hearts unfold In the end love stole his breath Silent night eternal rest [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone [Bridge] Love can heal and love can break Took his soul like tidal wave But in memories he'll stay Forever young in love's ballet [Chorus] Gone too soon in love's embrace Heartbeats lost in time and space Whispered words still linger on In our hearts he's never gone

[Verse] In a house made of sweets and lies Gummy doors and licorice skies Marshmallow whispers twist my mind Sugary secrets left behind [Verse 2] Lollipops in the dead of night Cotton candy shadows creep just right Chocolate rivers flow so bright Jellybean paths in the pale moonlight [Chorus] Candyland chaos in my head Sugary tombstones where dreams are dead Rainbow bridges lead nowhere Bittersweet songs fill the air [Verse 3] Peppermint tears that never dry Cinnamon swirl in your glassy eye Gingerbread walls are crumbling down Sticky sweet smile Can't pull a frown [Bridge] Buried deep in frosting snow Lemon drop wishes you'll never know Ginger snaps in shattered echoes Lost in realms where candy grows [Verse 4] Bubblegum whispers of past sins Caramel cages hold you in Peppermint doors locked from within Candy land where chaos begins

She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me (get out the way, yo) Bang, bang Ah, there she goes again, the girl is Ethiopian In other words, she came through explodin' in the podium Dynamite Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me Cut the convo' short 'cause she had to wake up early But continuing the story Don't worry she gave me digits for her Blackberry "You're very handsome" is what she said And the way she looked in my eyes said, "Put me to bed" Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone "You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly" Then she aimed for my chest with love in her eye Said she aimed for my chest with love in her eye She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Scorpion, she's so hot she's a scorch-ian Killing me softly, Lauryn or Kevorkian Couldn't tell if she's cuckoo or quirky, when I asked her her name she said, "Call me Ten" Testing, testing Things just got more interesting She's dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster A very Western toaster She ain't nothing Kosher Ah, she lets me closer Hotter than a pepper-crusted Samosa While I try to keep my composure She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang Am I wrong? But what is love without the pain to go along? And what is pain if not the reason for me to sing this song? And this song is for the weak and for the strong 'Cause I was strong and still She got me, she got me Bang, bang, she got me She got me, she got me Bang, bang She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one It went bang, bang, bang, straight through my heart (straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away I stood my ground and let her spray She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang, she shot me She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang
