sarmelion It tells a poignant, and perhaps hopeful, story through its lyrics Favorite track: The Villain I Appear to Be.

Potts&Pans Every layer of instruments compliments each other in such a wonderful way with the beautiful voice as the delicious cherry on top! Even in the instrumental version, it's still a fantastic song!

The reason why it is $20 is because, along with the song, there is the sheet music! If you are a musician like me then I'm pretty sure you'll definitely want this! I'm geeking out over here so much I can't take the amazingness! Favorite track: The Villain I Appear to Be.

mooglemoggins Dude you need to find a way to get this on iTunes because this song is BRILLIANT. It’s absolutely wonderful and I’m mad cause I lack a laptop to download it to my phone ( O /// w /// O ) Favorite track: The Villain I Appear to Be.

Sometimes when I Wanna run away and hide When there's no one on my side And all my pride had disappeared I take it off my mind And leave it all behind Nothin' left to do but Try to take the leap and follow through And that's exactly what I'll do I know to you I don't seem very strong But I assure you before you can find me I'm gone So come on and catch me you've still got a chance... But not for long I'll be rollin' place to place Won't stop till I win the race Although I may have crossed the line No time to waste on you I don't plan on slowing Down, no I'll keep on going Even if you think I'm in the wrong Just know that Although I may not think everything through I don't take back what I say or regret what I do I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan But if you leave it to me I'll do whatever I can 'cause I know that's what I'm here for I don't wanna wait around anymore Even if you can't see The good inside me I don't have the time to tell you Why I do the things that I do Just please hold on and soon you'll see That I'm not the villain I appear to be Movin' along, no I won't settle down Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town So you can keep on a runnin' around and around But you will never quite catch up to me! And I know you think I'm crazy But I hope that maybe Now you'll see why I had to try!

Sometimes when I
Wanna run away and hide
When there's no one on my side
And all my pride had disappeared

I take it off my mind
And leave it all behind
Nothin' left to do but
Try to take the leap and follow through
And that's exactly what I'll do

I know to you I don't seem very strong
But I assure you before you can find me I'm gone
So come on and catch me you've still got a chance...

But not for long
I'll be rollin' place to place
Won't stop till I win the race
Although I may have crossed the line
No time to waste on you

I don't plan on slowing
Down, no I'll keep on going
Even if you think I'm in the wrong
Just know that

Although I may not think everything through
I don't take back what I say or regret what I do
I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan
But if you leave it to me I'll do whatever I can 'cause

I know that's what I'm here for
I don't wanna wait around anymore
Even if you can't see
The good inside me

I don't have the time to tell you
Why I do the things that I do
Just please hold on and soon you'll see
That I'm not the villain I appear to be

Movin' along, no I won't settle down
Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town
So you can keep on a runnin' around and around
But you will never quite catch up to me!

And I know you think I'm crazy
But I hope that maybe
Now you'll see why
I had to try!
