1.You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You

Writer(s):James Arthur
:James Arthur

Long gone and fallen down but I'm loving how it taste
I look around for desire, love run away
Hold back, we're falling down, and I show you how it breaks
If I can give it, I'll take it, all of the way

And I've got a lot of love tonight, babe

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
So cold heart, when nobody holds you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running

The cold start coming down
I was way above the place
I wear it all for the day, now the day comes for me

When I look back we're falling down, you live with a break
You always give it, I take it, all the way

We've still got so much to love, babe

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
So cold heart, when nobody holds you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running

Don't you stop
I am ready lady
I will be somebody
Don't you stop
Take what's close to me
I am ready lady
I will be somebody


You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
It's hard times when nobody wants you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
So cold heart, when nobody hols you
Fill in my cup, don't ever stop coming
Get over top, I'll make it hard running


2.Get Down

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

Outside there's a bird and it is singing
And outside of my window, there's a life
I feel like someone's talking to my spirit
They tell me that there's reasons to survive

I could draw you a picture
I could write on my face
I could read you a scripture of tales

And I know, no matter how much colder
Or how much I carry on my shoulders
As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer
Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
But we don't get down
No we don't get down
We can turn this 'round
And maybe
It's today ahh yeahh

Cause all these scenes of grief got my head spinnin'
And we're dancing on the edge of a knife
And could I be your hero or your villain
Uhh, I guess it just depends in whose eyes

I could draw you a picture
I could write on my fist
I could read you a scripture of this


And I don't get down
Cause you lift me up
Cause you lift me up


3.New Tattoo

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

Under my skin, beneath my fingertips
You slip and slide away
Let me begin to understand how you operate in such a calculated
way
Before today, I didn't know if I'd make it
But now it's all making sense

Yeah, yeah

I wear you like a new tattoo
The design, the desire, I don't wanna remove
You're the kind of thing that I could love forever
I wear it like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather

Da, da, da, da

And do you ever look in the mirror
Oh, and not know who you are, or know where you going
Oh, and before today
I didn't know if I'd make it
But now it's all making sense

Yeah, yeah

I wear you like a new tattoo
The design, the desire, I don't wanna remove
You're the kind of thing that I could love forever
I wear it like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather, any weather, any weather

And I was so lost, and I was so lost, in this world
With no place, and no purpose, no
Blowing up, and I will get bigger, never high
Run a fire, the harder we'll love

I wear you like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather

I wear you like a new tattoo
And I'll be so happy that I'm stuck with you
And we cannot deface in any weather

Any weather, any weather, any weather


4.Impossible

I remember years ago
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did ..

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did


And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them


Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now


Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible


Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know ..
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know ..


And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say


And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them


Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now


Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible!
Ooh impossible (yeah yeah)


I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did


Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now


Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible


I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Then to ever
Look to Heaven questioning!

You can never compensate for this pain, oh, oh!

Hook:
I should have said it all when I was close to you
I should have said it all when I was close to you
Like I was supposed to do, yeah

Now you just pass me by
I'm struggling through this life,
Like a man with no sight, no sight!
Oh, like a man who's lost his sight!

Uh, and all these words they come to me
You can never compensate for this pain, oh yeah!

9.Suicide

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

It ain't begun
It's the mountain height
And this trigger
Gets blood on this finger
And run, it ain't the lie
It's the way that the truth is denied

But if there is one thing
That I'm guilty of
Is loving an giving
When you take too much
If somebody asked how we die
Please look them straight in the eyes

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate it
Just tell them babe
It was suicide
Don't sugar coat it
Just let them know

It ain't the knife
It's the way that you use it
How you abuse it in fight
You feel you were given
As long as you're living a lie

If there is one thing
That I'm guilty of
Is loving an giving
When you take too much
If somebody asked how it dies
Oh you look them straight in the eyes

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate it
Just tell them babe
It was suicide
Don't sugar coat it
Just let them know

You've been killing me softly
And finally, finally's too much
And I'm all under whiskey
To soak up the job that you've done oh
If there's anything I'm guilty of
That I'm guilty of
Is loving an giving
When you take too much
If somebody asked how we die

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate it
Just tell them babe
It was suicide
Don't sugar coat it
Just let them know
Call it suicide
Don't fabricate it
Just tell them babe
It was suicide
Don't sugar coat it
Just let them know
Just let them know
Just let them know


10.Is This Love ?

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

I must have walked these streets about a million times
I thought I knew them well, but baby I was blind
Cause everything's brand new, uh, uh!
Felt' my heart beat, but it was out of time
It's like my lungs are opened into the first time
Ever since I met you, uh, uh!
And I'm on my way now

Hook:
Is this love, really love?
Is this love, really love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh

I swear that I was heading down a darker road
You got to my' when I wasn't safety anymore
Darling, you're such a view!
Yeah, you're pulling down my walls, I throw my..
But you're the one to blame, you hold this broken gun
Take your aim and shoot!
And I'm on my way now!

Hook:
Is this love, really love?
Is this love, really love?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I need to know, need to know
Cause after all it is close
Is this love, is this love,
Really love?

So all these demons I'm letting go
Cause I can see what is beautiful
It finally feels like I'm coming home!

Hook:

11.Certain Things

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

Something about you
It's like an addiction
Hit me with your best shot honey
I've to no reason to dodge you
Cause certain things happen
You're my only virtue
And I virtue these doors

And you keep coming back, coming back again
Keep running round, running round my head

And there's certain things that I adore
And there's certain things that I ignore
But I'm certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours

There's something about you
Is when you get angry you hug me out so much
And you're like the shoulder to turn to
Cause certain things bend us when we're hanging on
For the delights, we held on so tight

And you keep coming back, coming back again
Keep running round, running round my head

And there's certain things that I adore
And there's certain things that I ignore
But I'm certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours

There's certain things that I adore
And there's certain things that I ignore
Yes ignore them, yes ignore them
But I'm certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours
I adore you, I adore you
Certain that I'm yours

I adore you, I adore you
It's hypnosia, it's hypsnosia
Certain that I'm yours


12.Smoke Clouds

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

Look how farther than the father's who go farther than they
should
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their
hoods
And who is gonna teach them wrong from right?
Who's gonna tell them it's alright?

Take these brain cells out my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart...

'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn the bitterness to sweet
I need to find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green

Now I'm a simple man I don't even have a phone
If I did I wouldn't pick it up I want to be alone
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town
Who is gonna teach them wrong from right?
Who's gonna tell them it's alright?

Take these brain cells out my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart...

'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flags for me
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn the bitterness to sweet
I need to find a new release
So I'm trading blues for green
Oh I'm trading blues for green
And demons wave the white flags for me
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fall out
So I'm trading blues for green


13.Flyin'

Writer(s):James Arthur
Mixing:James Arthur

Ey, yeah
Am I a glorious arrival pushing noise to the scene?
This inglorious desire that would be left out of me
So I'll be open to rise and open closed minds, hook lines
I'll make'em edible you'll gobble it down
Like it's the only thing that's floating
Hold on or drown
Words can grant your relief, I tell it bitter and sweet
You can twist out the seats and put the demons to sleep
This is closure, exposure of the bad things brought to life
So you can face them, spit'em out or maybe sleep tonight
I soak it up with the shirt off my back
Stay in the music till I'm dead on my back
Get'em vexed and attack
And attack and attack and attack

Yeah, I'm passive very static and it's making me sick
I swim in grease spilling drinks on another prick
And I've tried but it's too hard
So don't tell me to be calm
See I do drink and I do get high
I throw punches through these blurry eyes
See cause I was raised by a body of life
I've been focused on the ground so lnow I lost it with the sky
yeah
And the sky's where I'm destined for
They used to tell me that I couldn't soar
But for all my flaws

Looks to me like I'm flying high
Looks to me like I'm flying high yeah
Looks to me like I'm flying high
Looks to me like I'm flying high yeah yeah
