Fit Somewhere

Written by Dana Hassall
Colours of a mighty spring
And raindrops on a tin roof won't fix it
Playing in the dead of night
And sleeping through the morning light won't cure

We all need a place to hang our head
When all our weary dreams are left for dead
With open arms to hold when all is said and done
We all, we all just want to fit somewhere

Keeping all the hurt inside
Or writing up a post online won't stop it
Crying for the thousandth time
And making scenes up in your mind won't end it

Chorus

Holding all the cards in close
If you never let them see they won't let's face it
Let all of the walls come down
And find some time to drop around and don't waste it

Chorus

Corner Of the Street

Written by Dana Hassall
She swallows her fear every time you reappear
On the corner of the street
She's seen you at night in the shadows where you hide
On the corner of the street

Oh the sweet sweet sound of a gavel coming down
The judge declared her free
But the chains hold fast to the echo of her past
Everytime she sees
The corner of the street

It was a dark misty night when her fate came to fight
On the corner of the street
Your taunting voice, her unspeakable choice
On the corner of the street

Chorus

A victim of chance and her crime of circumstance
On the corner of the street

Talking To a Stranger

Written by Dana Hassall/ Peter Gabrielides
Talking to a stranger on a train
Coz we never speak to anyone these days
That's how it is, how it's always gonna be

He said you know I had a lover once
But when things got too tough she'd turn and run
That's how it is, how's always gonna be

I found myself in love just once or twice
But every time it never felt that right
That's how it is, how it's always gonna be

Hopelessly over and over
Same that's gone will come again
Life is all about trying to change
How it's always gonna be

People tell you life has just begun
But youth is always wasted on the young
That's how it is, how it's always gonna be

I thought I was just taking my sweet time
But it turns out time took me for a ride
That's how it is, but it doesn't have to be

Chorus

Spinning Wheels

Written by Dana Hassall
Sweep it under the rug
Keep it outta sight
And everything will be alright
Oh I'm calling my bluff

Raking in the hard luck 
Never waltzing by
Just one more thing to hide
Oh enough is enough

Call it what you won't
Muddy tires ain't gonna smoke
A little gas, a little choke But I'm spinning wheels
Churn a little ground
Maybe dig a bit farther down
But I won't be leaving town on spinning wheels
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels go around

Time to move along
Any day now any day
Will it all be worth the wait
When the dream is all gone?

Chorus

Need some action now
Need some traction now
God let me find some way out

Chorus

So Far Gone

Written by Dana Hassall/ Jessica-Jade
Don't you come knocking at my door
I hear those whispers on the wind
Telling me it won't be long, you're coming back for more
And I'm so far gone

Don't you be telling me those lies
You know I've heard them all before
You think you're stringing me along, you got me hypnotised
But I'm so far gone
​
Pull the white flag down and put it in the ground
And you can bury it, bury it
We don't need it now
And it makes no sense to keep playing pretend
And going on and on and on
When I'm so far gone

Don't you try walking on my wire
I've learned this balance on my own
You think I'm barely holding on, but honey you ain't superman
And I'm so far gone

​Chorus

So stand your ground
Just stay right here
So stand your ground
Coz I'm gone, no you won't be seeing me

Chorus

Get Lost

Written by Dana Hassall
Dead of the morning or waking of the night
Where could I be when dawn makes light?
Stop on the doorstep, it's only in my head
Feeling like a hostage in my bed

Sold for a song and the strumming of a chord
Got nothing to stay here for
Oh if I could live like an ever rolling stone
Prison walls they wait at home
​
Soon as I walk in, I've had enough
Just a little taste and I'll shove off
I've over playing it so safe
Time to get lost

Settling down, no it never did me well
Love is a dream for someone else
Freedom for a troubadour is ever winding road
Loneliness is mine to hold

Soon as I walk in, I've had enough
Just a little taste and I'll shove off
I'm tired of staying in one place
Time to get lost

Soon as I walk in, I've had enough
Just a little taste and I'll shove off
Don't wanna waste another day
Time to get lost

Dead of the morning or waking of the night
​Where could I be when dawn makes light?

Torture

Written by Dana Hassall
Sweet nightmare, come for me
Save me now and again
Lonely lover, talk to me
Take me out and then
​
Tie me up to a tree
With a whiskey bottle just out of reach
Hold me tight babe
Till I fall asleep
It's torture every time you leave

Read stories, make me love them
Throw them in the trash
Tell big lies, I'll buy 'em
Bankrupt me down the track

Strip me down 'till I freeze
In an empty room at -1 degree
Watch me cry babe
Till I fall asleep
It's torture every time you leave

Tie me up to a tree
With a whiskey bottle just out of reach
Hold me tight babe
Till I fall asleep
It's torture every time you leave

Highway Loves a Sin

Written by Dana Hassall/ Karl Broadie
I never intended to hurt nobody
Just took a wrong turn is all
A little book of matches won't nobody
Just depends when they're lit, where they fall
​
I may never be forgiven
For the mess I've been leaving
The one thing I believe in
This highway loves a sin

I don't even remember how it happened
My smoking gun on the ground
If you draw first, I'm a creature of habit
And I'm gonna take you down

Chorus

I used to look for reason
But never did I find one
The one thing I believe in
This highway loves

​Chorus

Love Backwards

Written by Dana Hassall/ John Kater
I should've been listening, I should've walked out
But I still remember that you had me falling, left me with no doubt
You had my attention, you hung me on your words
But I should've been listening, I should've heard
​
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards

You call in the morning, you leave at night
We said that forever would just happen if we deal the cards out right
You had my attention, for better or worse
But I should've been listening, I should've heard

I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards

I thought we were headed in the right direction
But moving forward it was all an illusion
You had my attention, but I should have be listening
I should have come first, I should have come first

I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards
I had my love backwards

I should've seen you coming
Should've run when I had the chance
And I don't wanna see your face again

Like Snow

Written by Dana Hassall/ Luke O'Shea
When I was a girl such joy I found
In a little snow globe I'd turn it upside down
In a magic land with tall pine trees
Each flake would fall so gracefully

The storm would rage each storm would pass
All contained within the glass
In a magic land with tall pine trees
The lesson learned still stays with me
​
I'm a snow globe upside down
And I can't see a thing with you around
You shake me up each time you call
Watch now as those pieces fall
Like snow

As I grew I'd try to be
Like a sailing boat way out at sea
When all was calm well I'd be torn
For deep inside I'd need that storm

Chorus

Now I may fool myself that I need things safe and sound
But now won't you promise me to keep me falling down

Like a snow globe upside down
And I can't see a thing with you around
You shake me up each time you call
Watch now as those pieces fall

I'm a snow that you've found
And I can't see a thing with you around
You shake me up each time you call
Watch now as those pieces fall
Like snow

See It Now

Written by Dana Hassall
Never a day that he wanted it more
The dream he'd been working his whole life for
Opportunity knocking, timing is everything
His goals were in reach til his dad pulled them out again
Forcing the boy in a path he thought young men should go

Oh when the clouds cover over a heart
The rain and the tears start falling
All of the work ripped apart at the seams
Can you see it now

Never a day that she wanted it more
The love she'd been working her whole life for
A mother who never had time for a little girl
A child who spent all her days trying to prove she was worth
More than a life of knowing her mum doesn't care

Oh when the clouds cover over a heart
The rain and the tears start falling
All of the work ripped apart at the seams
Love is a dance, is a song, is a spark
And when the flame stops burning
All that remains is the ghost of a dream
Can you see it now

You never knew
What you put me through
So now I'm telling you
I don't need you
I don't need you
Never a day that I wanted it more
The life that you stopped me from reaching for

Oh when the clouds cover over a heart
The rain and the tears start falling
All of the work ripped apart at the seams
Love is a dance, is a song, is a spark
And when the flame stops burning
All that remains is the ghost of a dream
Can you see it now
Can you see it now
Can you see it now
I can see it now

Long Way

Written by Dana Hassall
Rushing my way through life just to stand in a line but it ain't going nowhere fast
Pushing my pen at a desk job, paying rent, paying money, paying in laughs
Gotta break the chains of day to day, find a way to get just a little more back
Coz city life is running wild. I need a mild, laid back, change of tack

It's a long way
From the 'burbs to bush but I'll drive it in the slow lane
Long way
'Til I find what I'm looking for, throw the old me away
Long way
Seeking answers in the white line and wisdom in a red dirt plain
It's all waiting up ahead but it's a long way

Running all day everyday, it left me in a fit state to go right over the edge
Time is money oh and money is life, living hard,living fast, livin the stress
Sick of on the go, gotta take it slow, 'cause you know baby you're a long time dead
So chillin' out is what's it's all about, figure out how to just take a breath

Chorus

Somewhere out there where I can hear the silence
Starry skies and the blackest nights, life at it's best
It's a long way
It's a long way

Chorus

Gotta Take a Minute

Written by Dana Hassall/ Katrina Burgoyne
Gotta take a minute just take a step back
Watch the sun go down watch the sky turn black
Gotta take a second just to let it all go
When the world’s too tough and you’re feeling low
Gotta take a minute

Gotta take a road where the feeling’s high
With the window down feel the air brush by
Gotta take a walk where the green grass grows
Where the flowers bloom and the bluebirds go
Gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute

Spend my time in the push and shove
Always on the go in a crazy rush
You gotta take a minute

Gotta take a break from the faster lane
Take a walk outside dance in the rain
Gotta spend an evening underneath the stars
Where the full moon glows and the wild dogs howl
Gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute

Spend my time in the push and shove
Always on the go in a crazy rush
You gotta take a minute

Oh you gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute
Gotta take a minute

Free

Written by Dana Hassall/ Liam Brew
Sometimes I feel I'm living on a dead end road
I know I'm getting nowhere, but there's nowhere else to go
I try find a way out but I get pushed back down
I think I've found direction, then I turn around

I don't know where I'm going and I don't really care
I guess I'll find the answers when I get there

Coz I'm free
You can't hold me down
Oh I'm free
My anchor's off the ground
Yeah I'm free
Living day by day
Oh I'm free, yeah I'm free

People try to tell me what to do with my life
They say I've got it wrong well now I think I've got it right
I'm not gonna be the kinda girl to settle down
I'll let each day bring another but just in another town

I don't know where I'm going and I don't really care
I guess I'll find the answers when I get there

Chorus

I don't know where I'm going and I don't really care
I guess I'll find the answers when I get there
Coz I'm free
Living day by day
Oh I'm Free

Chorus

Red Letter Day

Written by Dana Hassall/ John Kater
No Way, I thought that we could be just friends
This place, I don't wanna be here again
It's not safe, I don't wanna have to pretend

Here I am prying at the doors of the cage
You stare, happy to turn over the page
You're all there laughing at the girl on the stage

After all the loops and hurdles
I still think if I could sink into your arms

It's a red letter day
red letter day
When you push open my door, run down the hall, calling my name
It's a red letter day
red letter day
When at last you will see we were both meant to be one and the same
It's a red letter day

Stop light, how am I gonna get through this
It's not right that you don't have to see the abyss
You slip by leaving me with a Judas kiss
Long way from everything that you can imagine
Darkness seems to come with sorrow and passion
Fine line, sitting at the mouth of a trap

Chorus

Two Steps

Written by Dana Hassall
I was running from the past I left behind
Too scared to slow it down
You were hiding from the mess of yesterday
Trying to find your own way out

We fit together like puzzle pieces
Couldn’t bear to be apart
But you heard thunder/ coming in the distance
You're gonna run out on my heart
And I cant stop you

I've got two steps, two feet
'Til you walk right out the door
And I won't hear from you no more
I've got two steps to make you see
This don’t have to be the end
Gotta make you see sense in just two steps

So scared of falling it took everything we had
To let the fire burn within
We found each other and we held on tight and I
I never wanted it to end
But you thought different

Chorus

Oh cant stop you. No I cant stop you
If you wanna leave. If you wanna leave
Oh cant stop you. No I cant stop you
If you wanna leave. If you wanna leave
Oh I cant stop you. No I cant stop you 
If you wanna leave. Baby Please don’t leave

Started running from the past we left behind
I’m too scared to slow it down
