1.	Counting Miles 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Counting Miles Always leaving home ‘cause the road has many charms It welcomes me right back with open arms Jack and Coke for breakfast on a cheap flight to Berlin For old times’ sake, whatever, count me in It may sound bad, but I’m just drawn to sin Well it seems I’m the chosen one who’s living all your dreams Flying high beyond your sky and breaking free We don’t have to be that different But for me, I’m just counting miles Rock 'n' Roll ain’t dead but it got old and gray and done Don’t give a shit, it keeps me on the run Shooting songs with a six-string as my gun Well it seems I’m the chosen one who’s living all your dreams Flying high beyond your sky and breaking free We don’t have to be that different But for me, I’m just counting miles Well it seems I’m the chosen one who’s living all your dreams Flying high beyond your sky and breaking free We don’t have to be that different But for me, I’m just counting miles Yeah me, I’m just counting miles Me, I’m just counting miles Music: Reto Burrell Lyrics: Reto Burrell, David Campbell Jr.
2.	Size Of Our Dreams 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Size Of Our Dreams I can’t hide my angry heart No matter how much I want it to heal It’s like a truck rolling over me And you’re the one behind the wheel Hurt and misery Keep me company Can’t you hear me Why just let it be Who defines what we should feel Who decides the size of our dreams Size of our dreams What’s your color of today Is it black and white mixed to grey When everything’s too much for you I’m the first you throw away Hurt and misery Keep me company No apologies For how you’re treating me Who defines what we should feel Who decides the size of our dreams Who defines what we should feel Who decides the size of our dreams Size of our dreams Pain and misery Keep me company Can’t you hear me Why just let it be Hurt and misery Keep me company No apologies For how you’re treating me Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
3.	What Am I Missing? 03:53	lyrics	buy track
What Am I Missing? You gave up hope At the time when you thought only of yourself You tried to cope But turned down all help Should know by now You’re not the only one that’s aching with this pain So tell me how This is the same What am I missing? Oooh oh oh oh How can an open mind be so closed? Oooh oh oh oh Standing still but wondering where time goes What am I missing? The words you say Sound cold as they spurt out of your mouth They cut so deep They’re heading south You’re crying for love As you push me away like we’re both at war Is this who You really are? What am I missing? Oooh oh oh oh How can an open mind be so closed? Oooh oh oh oh Standing still but wondering where time goes What am I missing? Maybe one day this will make sense Thing’s will be clear for you to see When there’s nothing left to pretend You’ll realize this war wasn’t meant to be What am I missing? What am I missing? What am I missing? Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
4.	Long Time, Long Gone 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Long Time, Long Gone Last time we met was in a dream Time built high walls in between Younger and wilder, a seed struggling to grow The answer to everything was yes and never no Funny how youth disappears There's no slowing down the years Long time, long gone I can't help still slipping back Into my childhood almanac Long time, long gone Each day seems quicker than the last The future's, the present, then the past Older and wiser, well older anyway But sometimes I wish that I could just rewind and play Funny how youth disappears There's no slowing down the years Long time, long gone I can't help still slipping back Into my childhood almanac Long time, long gone Long time, long gone Long time, long gone Now when I look at my own kid I see the same as my dad did Memories and stories and all the things he said Burst through like a river and flood into my head Funny how youth disappears There's no slowing down the years Long time, long gone I can't help still slipping back Into my childhood almanac Long time, long gone Long time, long gone Long time, long gone Music: Reto Burrell Lyrics: Reto Burrell, David Campbell Jr.
5.	Club Of The Broken Hearted 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Club Of The Broken Hearted You walked away without any warnings Coldly told me we were through Wish I could fall in love with these empty mornings Maybe they would leave me too, like you And I know I should have been much smarter Love grows old and you are young Were you looking for happy ever after Or just using me for fun? I should have known that your love would have missed its target So I guess I've joined the Club of the Broken-Hearted Well I'm not the first to live with a cheat And I sure won't be the last I wish everyone who's been hurt could meet And give the finger to their past I should have known that your love would have missed its target So I guess I've joined the Club of the Broken-Hearted Club of the Broken-Hearted Club of the Broken-Hearted So I hope that you're all happy now Raise your thumbs and watch me falling down Even though my life was tough, long before we started Never thought I'd join the Club of the Broken-Hearted Club of the Broken-Hearted Club of the Broken-Hearted Music: Reto Burrell Lyrics: Reto Burrell, David Campbell Jr.
6.	Devil On My Tongue 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Devil On My Tongue Darkness hides beyond the light It’s never burning bright While we try to catch a tiny spark within History is a rock in the creek We’re in way to deep An’ if you holding it, well, maybe you can’t swim Let me sing With the Devil on my tongue Never did it just for fun Maybe I was on the run Hey, I know this could go so wrong Facing it will make me strong The Devil on my tongue There’s a beauty in every life We sweat and strive Gotta take it night after night and day by day Every road is just a road In the beginning, though When you walk down there it becomes your way Let me sing With the Devil on my tongue Never did it just for fun Maybe I was on the run Hey, I know this could go so wrong Facing it will make me strong The Devil on my tongue Let me sing With the Devil on my tongue Never did it just for fun Maybe I was on the run Hey, I know this could go so wrong Facing it will make me strong The Devil on my tongue The Devil on my tongue The Devil on my tongue Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
7.	What You Find On Your Way 03:37	lyrics	buy track
What You Find On Your Way Don’t mind where you go Or how long it takes to roll down the road Time tells, years will show In the folds around your eyes Wild, young and restless days Still into it but they made you pay Mirror man laughing down Gotta give him mean smile back Hey, life is what you find on your way What you find on your way The same old boring songs Try to teach you love in the radio A skull shirt and 'Fuck it all' Doesn’t make you Rock 'n' Roll Get dirty hands while you dig too deep Run detours and bust your feet Well, time tells and year by year By the ringing of your ears Hey, life is what you find on your way What you find on your way What you find on your way What you find on your way Time tells, years will show In the folds around your eyes Hey, life is what you find on your way It don’t matter how long it takes What you find on your way Live and learn from all mistakes What you find on your way It don’t matter how much you know What you find on your way Just keep walking down your road What you find on your way It don’t matter how long it takes What you find on your way Live and learn from all mistakes What you find on your way It don’t matter how much you know What you find on your way Just keep walking down your road Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
8.	I'll Be Over You 02:34	lyrics	buy track
I'll Be Over You When birds wake at 7pm When Christians stop saying amen When the Beatles get together again Then I'll be over you When governments stop telling us lies And happiness rains from the skies When nothing on Earth ever dies Then I'll be over you I've been trying to fly free Rise above you and stay true 'Cause when you are under me Then I'll be over you When good guys have all the success And models forget how to dress When a monster is found in Loch Ness Then I'll be over you I've been trying to fly free Rise above you and stay true 'Cause when you are under me Then I'll be over you I'll be over you I'll be over you Somehow I'll come through And I'll be over you Music: Reto Burrell Lyrics: David Campbell Jr.
9.	Dead Without You 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Dead Without You Can't believe we're done All your stuff is gone But you're still with me in my mind Well, we built this grand Castle out of sand I watched it crumble over time But it was strong when you were mine This place is dead without you Can't call it home anymore This place is dead without you It died the day you walked away and closed the door Seems you’re in a spin A leaf in the wind Any breeze could bring you down In this empty house Silence seems so loud Your laughter echoes all around I can't block out all these sounds This place is dead without you Can't call it home anymore This place is dead without you It died the day you walked away and closed the door Won't you tell me, how can something great Turn into words of hate Maybe it was all just fate acting out I'm alone and bleeding now Need to heal this wound somehow This place is dead without you Nothing lives here anymore This space is dead without you It died the day you broke away and slammed the door Music: Reto Burrell Lyrics: Reto Burrell, David Campbell Jr.
10.	Who's That Girl? 03:02	lyrics	buy track
Who’s That Girl? I’m not that glass slipping outta your hands crashing to the floor I’m not the keys in your pocket that you’re still looking for Love ain’t here for playing games, I thought you oughta know But this bullet from you just hit me hard Wait a minute… Who’s that girl who broke my heart? An’ tore my life and world apart She’s not the one that she used to be Who’s that girl who broke my heart? How can seven weeks apart kill seven years of you and me While you with your monkeys are jungle dancing around the trees If all your feelings tumbling why don’t you fight ‘em back and win? But all you ask is me letting you go… what? Wait a minute… Who’s that girl who broke my heart? An’ tore my life and world apart She’s not the one that she used to be Who’s that girl who broke my heart? Well, let’s say we're just bent not broken we could learn to love again But I’m missing you pulling strings and giving us chance Who’s that girl who broke my heart? An’ tore my life and world apart She’s not the one that she used to be Who’s that girl who broke my heart? Who’s that girl who broke my heart? Who’s that girl who broke my heart? Who’s that girl who broke my heart? Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
11.	Wind Me Up 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Wind Me Up When the world is closing in We can’t find where to begin Good to know you’re by my side While all the usual roads Are blocked by sticks and stones Let love be our guide Wind me up Then roll me out again and let’s laugh about it all Wind me up but never let go When the sun no longer shines And everything just seems to die Hope still glitters in our eyes Red, gold, green and blue Let’s paint our life anew And be the ones to rise But first wind me up Then roll me out again and let’s laugh about it all Wind me up But don’t ever never, never let us fall Wind me up Then roll me out again and let’s laugh about it all Stronger, together The longer, the better Wind me up Then roll me out again and let’s laugh about it all Wind me up But don’t ever never, never let us fall Wind me up Then roll me out again Let’s laugh about it all But never let go Music & Lyrics: Reto Burrell
