Never the same
I feel so alive
I know that I'm lucky
Is it the place
Where I grew up
The smile of my mom
Now I'm willing to share my bliss with you
Are you ready to change your life for good
Oh believe
Your past is not your enemy
Think again cause
It's only getting better than before
Before
I had it all
You were alone
Nowhere to go
Yeah I know that I'm lucky
Now you're grown up
No battle is lost
Cause everything will change from now
Oh believe
Your past is not your enemy
Think again cause
It's only getting better
If life is unfair
You know that I'm there
We've reached the point of no return
You're my better half
Just me and yourself
There's nothing you can say to me right now
It's such a blast
This has to last
Has to last
We can fly away
We can die today
Nothing left to say
We'll find our way
Lucky
Your life has just begun
Close your eyes enjoy the sun
Yesterday is far away now
So nothing can go wrong
Are you ready to change your life for good?

Ik mis ze toch wel. Ik heb een half jaar geleden de cd gekocht waar dit nummer opstond. Ik heb meteen keihard meegezongen, terwyl ik het nummer geneens kende. Ik vond het daarna niet zo super mooi meer. Totdat ze in het nieuws kwamen en zeiden dat ze stopten, dat vond ik echt zo K*t ik heb byna zitten huilen, en nu ik dit luister, kryg ik nog steeds tranen in me ogen omdat ik ze toch erg erg erg goed vond!. DIRECT; NEVER OUT US HEART
