The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
This European air It always warms my face I wish I could buy some I will bring you stories And bleary eyed photos Like a regular tourist We don't go breaking down I feel like nothing ever will We don't go breaking down I feel like nothing Suitcases down our street Are rolling once again I roll away with them Five days inside Zoo York To loose myself with friends I'm nowhere without you We don't go breaking down I feel like nothing ever will We don't go breaking down I feel like nothing ever will We don't go breaking down I feel like nothing Just want to be with you my baby (x 4) I'm counting up the cost of time And we'll embrace our time away We cannot save ourselves alone Or rely on a mobile phone
