Track 1
Start All Over
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

We got caught up in a moment
Was it destiny unfolding what was meant to be
To give us another chance to start all over again
Will we surrender to love & start all over again

A truth runs deep through us
& this love, it rises up like the burning sun
Some words remain unsaid
& others can not be unsung
Where will this take us if we start all over again

Chorus:
oh yeah start all over again 2x



Track 2
Devil Got Your Smile
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

If I stopped right now & closed my eyes
I'd see your face then the riddles start to fly
Stir up the memories, wake up the ghosts in this place
Just to spend a little time in that look you'd give to me let it echo in my mind
When I think of how it used to be

Looking back I see so perfectly
How you fell off the edge of sanity
Slipping further, just one step away, further still
As the shadows come & prey
& that look you'd give to me, how it echoes in my mind,
when I think of how it used to be

Chorus:
Every single time I try to recall you
I can almost hear your voice &?picture in my mind
I can see the way he stole the little pieces of you
I remember how the devil got your smile

If I knew I could trace my steps back to that time
There again I'd surely find
You right there stirring up the embers of that fire
Won't let it go or fade die
Might've given you the push, you're the one that took the dive
Won't let the bruising heal inside

Chorus:




Track 3
Invisible
(1st-Round Nominee for BEST SONG of the YEAR 2006
for the Hawaiian Na Hoku Hanohano Awards)
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

There's something bigger going on than meets the eye
Don't feel small or insignificant
When you're feeling alone, disconnected from the world
Know that you're a part of a greater whole

Chorus:
Don't feel invisible
with one love we're indivisible

If you feel pushed by circumstance
Know that every voice can be significant
Don't be afraid to speak the truth that seems so obvious
Trust in love to make us one in this

Chorus:
Don't feel invisible
with one love we're indivisible



Track 4
Sky High
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

You got my senses on hyperdrive
Every nerve is so raw & so alive
I want to worship in the temple of your love
I want to taste the nature of your drug

Bridge:
This circumstance is surely spinning past the point of all control
Trying to stand still in a free fall
Hold on, don't let go

Intoxicated by the visions
& to madness I believe I'm about to give in
Such a long way down from here
I want to keep climbing higher without no fear

Bridge:

Chorus:
Take me up where it's dangerous to fall into a love that's sky high
Wrap me up in your loving arms & stare into my eyes
I'm sky high

(Spoken)
I used to think it was all just about having a real good time
I could speed up like a racecar, I could stop on a dime
but this feels so good, it's like committing a crime
You tell me where you think we're gonna draw that line
Let me get a little closer to it
I'll toe the line
Take me up - take me up with you

Chorus:



Track 5
Wake Up Call
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

I been searching for somebody to release me from all the pain
I've been waiting for the answer to appear not to be in vain
Yeah then I saw that it's not out there, but inside of me
The fear stained
I think this is my wake up call - I think this is the day

Chorus:
Well I think this is my wake up call- I think this is the day
Well I think this is my wake up call - I think I found my way back to where I belong

I took the blows life hit me with
It tore up my time & space
I was dragged outside my body
Like a chain linked to my name
& in this odd state I found myself within
It took a dark night to show me
All the light in me

Chorus:

I'm going home - wake up



Track 6
Will Not Follow
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

You dished out
& I fed
On the promises
You never meant to keep
& you lied
Enough said
Then denied
Everything

You gave it
Your best shot
With every trick
Oh you thought that you could win
I will
Not be
Lead on
Blindly

Chorus:
I know where you want to take me
But I've got my own plans in the making
I've learned & you can't make me fake it
You're on your own - I will not follow you

I know
That you thought
That you'd get some little piece of me
I will
Not be
Had that
Easily

Chorus:

Track 7
Outside Looking In
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

I can feel you thinking
I've seen that reflection in your eyes
It's like I'm watchin' a movie inside of your mind
Of better days gone by

Oh it makes me feel like I'm on the outside lookin' in
You don't want to know how that feels to be right here

Chorus:
What felt like destiny is now fading & pale
Just a moment in truth
But if we take the time to share forgiveness
All that we have won't fail

You keep me at a distance
A darkness in you still resides
You look at me through these doubts in your mind
Then you wonder why

Oh it makes me feel like I'm on the outside lookin' in
You don't want to know how that feels to be right here

Chorus:
But it won't be long before the sun comes out
& we'll see the shadowed path
Although the road ahead is strange but true
The love we have will last

Chorus:
What felt like destiny is now fading & pale
Just a moment in truth
But if we take the time to share forgiveness
All that we have won't fail



Track 8
Bigger Love
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

I looked around, said to myself, this ain't my kind of town
I packed my stuff, then I set it down outside the door as I said my last goodbye
I headed out and about half an hour from nowhere
Speeding by you caught my eye
You got in, no one said a word
Felt like I'd known you forever

I told you I needed just one thing to set me free
Then you turned and said to me

Chorus:
You're like a junky looking for a score
When all you need is a bigger love
You're like an angel crawling on the Earth
When all you need is a bigger love
And when it comes, well you've got to let it in

I asked your name, you just smiled at me
Opened the door and slowly walked away
I watched you go from the rear view mirror
You disappeared right before my eyes

I drove away believing I could make the right choice
And I can still hear your voice

Chorus:
You're like a junky looking for a score
When all you need is a bigger love
You're like an angel crawling on the Earth
When all you need is a bigger love
And when it comes, well you've got to let it in

I will surrender to a bigger love
And when it comes, I am going to let it in



Track 9
Sunday Morning
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

Lying in bed it's quiet & still
Just so far off in the distance
The sun comes up wherever you are
While you're sleeping & dreaming
The day's dawning
The light is fawning
Over it's reflection
On the water outside

Chorus:
Wake me up on a Sunday morning
Lover wrap me up in you
Baby take your time because for now the
Only thing that matters is me & you

Dog in the yard needs a bath
& somebody needs to cut the grass
But I don't care if
This list keeps on growing

Chorus:
We got better things to do on a Sunday morning
Lover wrap me up in you
Baby take your time because for now the
Only thing that matters is me & you

Keep the world at bay & let the time melt away



Track 10
Different World
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

I can hide so deep inside you wont see me
I can scream ever so loud (on the inside)
I can slip into this haze although you see me
I am still light years away
& I'm standing right in front of you

Chorus:
Feels like I'm in a different world
(it feels like I'm in a different world) 2x

In this heart I've felt so much pain
In this head, this life I've felt so dead
Its just like a different world I'm living in yeah
I'm gonna have to find myself

Chorus:

Don't know if I'll ever be the same (make it a different world)
don't know if I wanna stay that way anymore (make it a different world)
I don't wanna play their stupid games (make it a different world)
I just want to do what I was sent here for (make it a different world)



Track 12
Electric
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

I knew you were trouble from the chill up my spine
but I kept flirtin' with disaster
Hot on my heels & closing in
this lightening energy surrounds you
Nothing they could say could make me turn away
for the current drew me closer
& as you walked into that room I couldn't wait
To stare into your eyes & taste the danger

Chorus:
Electric -yeah - electric
Cannot run, cannot hide this sudden, rushing surge, intoxicating need
Electric, magnetic, like gravity it must be

& I love the way the shape of your mouth
Could make me break every promise
That I ever made just to have you stay
& conjure up more of this madness
As we tangled up ourselves inside this spell
Something magical between us
We never felt so much alive as we fell
Off the deeper end of being

Chorus:



Track 13
Haleakala Upcountry Blues
Written by Anastasia Gilliam & Nils Rosenblad

Well, I went Upcountry to see what I could find
Well, I went Upcountry to see what I could find
Looking for the voodoo up on the mountain side

A ring of stone, I knew that I was there
A ring of stone, I knew that I was there
The moon shined so bright & the darkness spread like fire

A voice behind me spoke in an ancient tongue
A voice behind me spoke in an ancient tongue
I didn't know the words, but I knew that this was the one

After a time the rider left my side
After a time the rider left my side
He said "You can get what you want, but you'll never be satisfied"
