Track Name: Training Up My Soul
Training Up My Soul

Verse1
I've been training up my soul
I've been training up my soul
Because I feel weak against your faith.
Tell me how to lend my ears
Roll back all that I call fear
And in your strength I will succeed
I wish that I could believe.

Chorus

Verse2
I've been training up my soul
Can someone pull me from this hole
Take back all that I owe you.
Make me able to see through
Right into the very core
It makes it easier to grieve
I wish that I could believe.

Chorus
Track Name: Come Of Age
Come Of Age

Verse 1
When I grow up i'll come of age
Thats what i've been saying for days.
And i'll know which path is for me
I'll take life in my stride with ease.

Chorus
I love the way you make it so clear for me.
I love the way you make it so clear for me.

Verse 2
When I grow up i'll come of age
And little worries won't fill my days.
Staying up will be a breeze
I wont spend so many days on my knees.

Chorus
I love the way you make it so clear for me.
I love the way you make it so clear for me.
And I wont forget that same old message that you told me so long ago.
And I wont forget that same old message that you told me so long ago.

Middle 8

Chorus
And I wont forget that same old message that you told me so long ago.
And I wont forget that same old message that you told me so long ago.
Track Name: You Took
You Took

Verse 1
You took a little more than I had left
You took it yeah you did.
And I said a little more than I should have
But I've got no regrets.
You laid all your silly games
On the floor for me.
And I cant see the funny side
Its time for me to start anew

Chorus
Because you don't think what you're saying half the time
And those words cut and they fall deep in my mind
And I get a lot of them locked up there.

Verse 2
You know how to drive me mad
Not sure what your secret is.
I bend backwards all the time
No thanks I think Im getting out.
You can pour another glass
Three cheers for all you put me through.
And I cant see the funny side
Its time for me to start anew.

Chorus
Because you don't think what you're saying half the time
And those words cut and they fall deep in my mind
And I get a lot of them locked up there.

Outro
And I get a lot of them locked up there.
Yeah I get a lot of them locked up there.
Track Name: Running Out
Running Out

Verse 1
I got my own course to run
How do I tell you that we're done.
Its so long since I thought I knew
A future for just me and you.

Chorus
A space has opened in my heart
And you have moved out after dark.
Time on my own is what I need
This is what I do believe.

Verse 2
Making things awkward for me
I'm sure that is not what you seek.
Turning my life upside down
And all that we had is on the ground.

Chorus
A space has opened in my heart
And you have moved out after dark.
Time on my own is what I need
This is what I do believe.

Outro
We're running out
but we have had our day.
