We Were Walking 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I was standing in the spotlight, of the quarter moon We were dancing, dancing all too soon In this big wide world we live in, see only one side And decisions decide, for us our lives Walking, talking, and breathing each other in Straying, falling always wondering While we walk I wanted to be a bird, I wanted to fly from home But now I am lost, lost beyond belief I thought I was going somewhere, but I’m not moving Because I can’t help, from choosing Walking, talking, and breathing each other in, Straying, falling always wondering While we walk Where am I? Where are we? Are we stuck in between? I don’t know, I’m not sure, there’s nothing left in my dreams There is nothing I am certain of, except the fact that I’m not home Walking, talking, and breathing each other in, Straying, falling always wondering Walking, talking, and breathing each other in, Straying, falling always wondering While we walk

Too Much 02:46
lyrics

I think I think too much I think I drink too much I think I fight too much But I don't, walk enough I think I wait too much I think I daydream enough I think I talk too much But I don't, live enough And it's time I give it up The waiting and the talking About everything, I ever wanted to do And if I wait much more I might as well just sleep With my dreams, in the night I think I look too much I think I feel too much But I'm numb enough with you And I think I'm high enough To dream of her But I dream too much to pull Myself through And it's time I give it up The waiting and the talking About everything, I ever wanted to do And if I wait much more I might as well just sleep With my dreams, in the night I think I look too much I think I feel too much I think I talk too much so I'll stop

Write It On My Skin 03:51
lyrics

Write it on my skin, it's there forever And this ones soon to get you As long as you are waiting I can't drink no more, I can't drink no less May not seem the best, but who's to judge the rest I can't say stop, don't go I can't say stop, don't go You give me that foreign page And say now who'll be saved I don't want to forget, cos everyone forgets now And say that we'll stop and see What's good for her and good for me What's good for me? Write it on my skin, and I read it every day It's nowhere, it's nowhen Seems like from before, it seems like time Has played it's trick on me I wish that I had seen I can't say stop, don't go I can't say stop, don't go Can't help but go back in time And take what should've been mine I don't want to forget, cos everyone forgets now And say that we'll stop and see What's good for her and good for me What's good for me? What's good for me? I don't want to be, apart, from you

Time Is The Enemy 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Those days that felt like weeks Just being alive They ran out on you quick It's a pity you're a prick There's no time tonight But I still feel bored The walls have nothing to say They're empty with the day I was never the one to, try or try my best I was never the one alone in the nest But since then I've found that it's time Since then I've found that it's time Time is the enemy I never had this before I never get alone And routine is killing me Now I'm stuck in between The voices through the walls Are going through my head I know what I've got to do Kill the routine I was never the one to, try or try my best I was never the one alone in the nest But since then I've found that it's time Since then I've found that it's time Time is the enemy I was never the one to, try or try my best I was never the one alone in the nest But since then I've found that it's time Since then I've found that it's time

Waiting 03:05
lyrics

Waiting around to be told I'm second best The rest of the time I seem to be behind Waiting for the judgement to come I'm not expecting it to be ok But I'll still stay and try not to drift away I just waiting, waiting for you to tell me I'm waiting, waiting for you And so the time has come I see it in your eyes, you just want to run Run away from all of this You don't want to say it but you must I just waiting, waiting for you to tell me I'm waiting, waiting for you I see it in your eyes, you just want to go I see it in your face, your speech has gone slow I hear it in your voice, you're shaking, you're breaking me I feel it in the air, you're walking away from me I'm waiting, waiting for you to tell me I'm just waiting, waiting for you

Up In Flames 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Why am I here? What changes from year to year? And what makes that voice, so hard to hear? From hot to cold, this time I'm really getting old And I'm running out of lions gold And watching the folds The distance is unchanged Between me and home just rearranged All the while there's me to blame I watch it all go up in flames I watch it all go up in flames I wish I knew How to live and what to do But instead I'm here without a clue I want to see it written down Not fading away, behind the clouds The distance is unchanged Between me and home just rearranged all the while there's me to blame I watch it all go up in flames I watch it all go up in flames It's not, that I can't change myself It's just that sometimes I need someone else Every time I think that I'd grown I realize I can't do it on my own, my own The distance is unchanged Between me and home just rearranged All the while there's me to blame I watch it all go up in flames The distance is unchanged Between me and home just rearranged I watch it all go up in Up in flames

The Wolves 04:20
lyrics
buy track
What happened for this to change so much? What happened to us to change so much? I know we're the same people in our own little way I love you more now than I ever have before So please, don't be afraid So please I hate to see you cry When I'm not the one who can help I hate to sit and watch The wolves tear you limb from limb I watch you still I didn't know, that we would change and we would be In this time and place, you and me We'll light the candles, close the doors Separate in our own little world I'd watch your eyes, all the long miles I hate to see you cry When I'm not the one who can help I hate to sit and watch The wolves tear you limb from limb I watch you still There are things that I miss But nothing is better than Being with you
