THE SHANGHAI RESTORATION PROJECT :: SPECIAL EDITION (LYRICS)

THE BUND
Music and Lyrics by D. Liang & S. Steele

No time for panic, no time for shame
No time to lose it, no one to blame
You’re on your own, you feel so alone
But just remember, you’re not the same

Unexpected this was how my life was meant to be
Afraid of something that I couldn’t see in front of me
And so I gathered up my faith, and took a leap
This is where I’m at with you

We’re living above
(Gotta live up your life, gotta live up your life, gotta live it above)

Now we’re living above
(Gotta give it your all, baby you won’t fall, gotta live it above)

Finally living above
(Gotta give it up now, gotta live it up now, gotta live it above)

We’re living above (gotta live up your)
Life (gotta give it your)
Love, oh we’re living above

It’s time to change
It’s time to give in and turn the page
You’re in control, so make the most
Of what you’ve been given, it’s time to start livin’

Unexpected this was how our lives were meant to be
Afraid of something that we never, we never see
And so just gather up your faith, and take a leap
This is where I’m at with you

We’re living above
(Gotta live up your life, gotta live up your life, gotta live it above)

Now we’re living above
(Gotta give it your all, baby you won’t fall, gotta live it above)

Finally living above
(Gotta give it up now, gotta live it up now, gotta live it above)

We’re living above (gotta live up your)
Life (gotta give it your)
Love, oh we’re living above


MISS SHANGHAI
Music and Lyrics by D. Liang & D. de Rooij

Up close
This is how I see it with you
Real close
This is how I dance it with you
Close, so close
Is how I feel with you

La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you
La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you

Sounds sweet
This is how I hear it with you
Real sweet
This is how I taste it with you
Sweet, so sweet
Is how I dream of you

La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you
La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you

You’ve got this feel of
Bringing to life
All of my senses
Completely revealed
Dropping my arms
Leaving me naked and light

La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you
La-la-la, la-la-la
This is how I sense it with you


JADE BUDDHA TEMPLE
Music and Lyrics by D. Liang

You seem a little bit nervous
You sound a little uptight
You look a little bit jumpy
You sure you’re feeling alright?

You seem a little bit frazzled
You look a little bit frayed
You act like this was on purpose
That’s just a masquerade

Lie down (and throw your mind away)
Cool off (it‘ll still be there tomorrow)
Stay in (forget about your day)
Tune out (we’ll all be here tomorrow)

Exhale
Exhale

If things seem a little too frantic
And there’s no place you can turn
Just shut your mind, turn off your lights
To a point where life returns

While chaos never ceases
Confusion never dies
You can put your stressful world on hold
Just close your eyes

Lie down (and throw your mind away)
Cool off (it‘ll still be there tomorrow)
Stay in (forget about your day)
Tune out (we’ll all be here tomorrow)

Exhale
Exhale


AVENUE JOFFRE
Music and Lyrics by D. Liang

There’s a millionaire looking for riches
There’s an astronaut looking for life
There’s a scientist looking for answers
Everybody’s just looking to find

When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?
When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?

There’s a journalist looking for angles
A detective who is looking for crime
There’s a general looking to battle
Just to win a war of the minds

When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?
When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?

Just take your time
Please take things slow
One day you’ll find
One day you’ll know
I'll still be the one

There are accidents waiting to happen
There are activists waiting to strike
There are governments waiting to crumble
Overthrown in the blink of an eye

When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?
When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?

There are openings looking for closure
There’s an emptiness looking for truth
Everybody’s just looking for something
Here I stand just waiting for you

When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?
When all is said and done
Will I still be the one for you?

Just take your time
Please take things slow
One day you’ll find
One day you’ll know
I'll still be the one
