Spinning Words by: Malea McGuinness
Music by: Malea McGuinness & Scott Hackwith

Produced by: Michael Patterson

You live your lives just chasing dreams
Does it mean anything?
Cause that won't bring you happiness-what are you here to be?
 
What are you here to be? Does it mean anything?
What are you here to be?
 
And the World is spinning around
And We can't keep ourselves down
Holding our ground, can't hear a sound
And it's hard to be right now

I trust in a power my eyes can't see
I know it's true
I have to believe we're here to love I do do
So whatcha gonna do?
You know it's up to you
Whatcha you gonna choose?
  
And the World is spinning around and we can't keep ourselves down
We're holding our ground, can't hear a sound
And it's hard to be right now
And the World is spinning so fast We don't know if this will last
We're holding our ground, Don't give up now
Though it's hard to be somehow
 
I won't lie,  I've always tried
to fit to something they could see
but they were never seeing me
 
And the World...

Time Will Show Words & Music by: Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Michael Patterson
When you fall you're not  alone, where you go someone will follow
In these times that make you stronger,  there is a message when it's all over
So time will be your friend, it will help you start again

I've been on the edge, but I don't let go
I was lost for so long, but time will always show
You're not alone, time will always show

Too proud too bend, too poor to break
You've weathered all the storms that they can make
And you laugh so hard to keep from crying
There's something in you that can't give up trying

So time will  be your friend,  It will  help you start again

I've been on the edge, but I don't let go
I was lost for so long, but time will always show you're not alone
Time will always show oh yeah yeah, time will always show

You hang within an inch of your life, You are fighting just to survive
Hope is close but yet so far away..hey,hey,hey
I've been on the edge, but I don't let go
I was lost for so long, but time will always show


They think they've won, I know you and they  don't know you're not alone
Ooh that time will always show

May the storms break for you
May the trees shake their blossoms down
May the friends you've always helped, be there when you're down
Oooh I feel so lucky, to have known you this time around

We're as close as air
Love's around us everywhere
So feel free to fly away
I'll be seeing you someday

No one gets a perfect life, no no one glides on through
We all have our debts to pay, we all win and lose
All the good you've always done for me will surely come back, come back to you

We're as close as air
Love's around us everywhere
So feel free to fly away
I'll be seeing you someday

Moving On Written by: Malea McGuinness & Justin Reinhardt
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
Home for your funeral, what a rainy day
Church was so big-back when I used to pray
Heard the choir singing to you-clear as a bell
And the man I knew, I did not know well

And I  couldn't wait to leave this crazy place
I try to remember something good in your face
Oh I've been waiting so for this day...

Moving, moving, moving on my way
I'm not waiting for what they might say
If you loved me then you loved me and if not okay
I'm moving on, I'm moving on 

So many secrets locked up inside that head 
What you never showed and all that you never said
Left your dreams behind, the things you could not do
All those tangled webs you could not unwind

And I couldn't wait to leave this crazy place, etc.

Moving, moving, moving on my way
I'm not waiting for what they might say
If you loved me then you loved me and if not okay
I'm moving on, I'm moving on to better days

I'm not crying,  No I'm never, never going back
I won't go, broken like that-You could've saved me-all of those years- you could've tried
I'm glad to say goodbye-goodbye
But I'm moving, moving, moving on my way,ect,
Nah Nah Nahnah,ect,
I'm moving, moving on, moving on my way-to better days-yeah

Tonight Words & Music by: Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
I think I am going crazy, this big city really has me down
I'm stressed just scraping by, my stars just won't align
And I think all my luck is running dry

And in you I saw, a thousand things I could never say
You freed me from the spell in my soul, underneath to meet my fate

Tonight my life has changed now and forever
And it is you that broke the darkness, 
you are the light that makes it all better

Baby I can't say enough cause you fill my life with all your love
What life has put me through, prepared me just for you
And I've got to thank someone up above

Tonight my life has changed now and forever
And it is you that broke the darkness,
You are the light that makes it all better

And your body which I love so close to mine
Hold me for all time, hold meÉ.

Tonight my life has changed, now and forever
And it is you, that broke the darkness, 

you are the light that makes it all better
And I love you, how I love you...

Stars Words & Music by:Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
There's a wild and lonely child at the airport
And she's standing there with tears in her eyes
It's freezing cold but she's dressed for summer and she's hoping for a better life
She's hoping that maybe they'll want her, and love her for the rest of her days


They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, 
can't cover what you really are tonight

And he's never had a birthday or Christmas, 
and he's never read a book though he's five, 
and he's trying to fix his own frozen dinners, 
and he's trying to keep his sister alive
Just another child that's been thrown away, another child this world has lost

They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, 
can't cover what you really are tonight
Pull them from the sky, take away their shine,
put out all their light, that don't make it right and leave them far behind

And I know the truth, this is you, this is you

They're like stars, crystal painted silver stars, 
can't cover what you really are tonight
Stay up in the sky, full of all your shine 
They can't take your light, that just isn't right
And I won't leave you behind

Birthday Song Words & Music by: Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
You're like a birthday that's come early this year
Heaven made my wish come true
Oh sweet sugar down to the last drop
Every day is like a birthday with you

It was a long hard year, really weighed my shoulders down
Sky was hard to find, rain kept coming down
I was smiling to look happy but lost in neverland, and in my darkest hour
There you stand

You're like a birthday that's come early this year, like
Confetti falling straight from the sky
Blow out the candles and I make my wish, 
don't let another year without you go by

Sun is out and shining things are looking up
Vanilla skies like icing the rain stopped coming down
I'm smiling cause I'm happy I love just where I am
You bought light to my life there you stand

You're like a birthday that's come early this year
Heaven made my wish come true
Oh sweet sugar down to the last drop
Every day is like a birthday with you

I've gotten lots of things that don't mean anything
Unless they're given straight from the heart yeah yeah yeah

You're like a birthday that's come early this year, like
Confetti falling straight from the sky
Blow out the candles and I make my wish, 
don't let another year without you go by
Oh you're like a birthday yeah yeah  yeah heaven made my wish come true
You're like a birthday oh woah woah woah every day is like a birthday with YOU!

Falling Words by: Malea McGuinness & Justin Reinhardt
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
You're like an angel born with just one wing
You cannot leave the ground until you try
One desperate moment changes everything
You can't run-you've got to fly!

So don't try to hold on to all that you have
Don't stop to look down
Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes 
And just let go
No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away

So don't be afraid to fall

Just like a pearl in the hand of fate, trying to find just where you belong
The world's your shell that you can't escape and in the end you're still alone

So don't try to hold on to all that you have
Don't stop to look down
Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes 
And just let go
No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away
So don't be afraid to fall

Cause nothing stays with you in endless space
Stars are blazing everywhere
Above your head I see a brand new day but you don't see and that's why
You're so so scared

Here we are once again close your eyes and just pretend, hold my hand or just 
Let go, oh, no matter, no matter, where you are, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid to fall, cause I will be there through it all, don't be afraid to fall

No More Words & Music by: Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro
I've been covered in your excuses, drenched in all your lies
I've been drowned in promises that never seem to turn out right

Don't waste time talking to me, you have nothing left to say
Don't waste time faking, you always give yourself away

No more, no more, crazy doesn't work no more
The wheels still turn but the gears are broken
Crazy doesn't work with me no more

You took my strength my away,
Maybe you did for just a day
If I let you take my happiness, then I would be remiss
To give you such a precious part of me
It took some tears but now I see
You always thought that I would take you back
It's a different woman that you're looking at

No, no more, crazy doesn't work no more
The wheels still turn but the gears are broken
Crazy doesn't work with me no more

I have the key to my own cage and I could leave it all the same,
Or I could make it different it's up to me No, no more...

Memories Words & Music by: Malea McGuinness
Produced by: Jamie Candiloro

One if by land, two by sea
Smoky, cozy down on Barrow street
I saved all my money honey, to take you to dinner with me

Pools of light glisten on the asphalt
Nothing like the village baby, nothing like those walks
I hear a song, and sing along, and think of you
We were all gonna make our way, had the world right in our hands

You were mine for a time, And I knew you for awhile
Stay in my corner honey, just a little longer with me

I worked til 4am, fell asleep on the subway, tired of moving my things from place to place
I'd sit on the roof, smoke a cigarette or two, and dream away
We were all gonna make our way-had the world right in our hands

And you were mine for a time, And I knew you for awhile
Sometimes the memories are much better than reality

Old memories are passing by
Like music drifting through the trees and finding you
I've been moved by all these things I've seen
All the songs I've sung, I would never change a thing
You were mine for a  time and I knew you for awhile
Those were the days, oh we thought they'd never end
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
You're forever in these memories, forever in these 
Memories I have, oh...

Spinning Radio Edit Words by: Malea McGuinness
Music by: Malea McGuinness & Scott Hackwith

Produced by: Michael Patterson
You live your life as in a dream, sad as beginning of spring

But letting the days just pass you by, does that mean anything?  

I trust in the things my eyes can't see, cause what if they're true?  

I want to understand it all, both evil and good


And the world is spinning around and I can't keep myself down

I'm holding my ground, can't hear a sound and it's hard to be somehow

And the world is spinning so fast, there's no way to make it last

I'm holding my ground, can't hear a sound and it's hard to be somehow


I don't know why, why I even tried, to fit to something you could see

There was nothing wrong with me
