Not at Home
03:44
|
|||
The screeching of the train
As it stops beneath the rain
The track is wet in the shadows
Underneath half a moon
AS it goes down to the ground
The colours change behind the clouds
And the stars they can’t come out
Above the city lights
It’s not like home
It’s hotter here for the time of year
And the people don’t talk the same as we do
And it’s harder to be
On your own when you’re not home
And some things don’t taste the same
Not like home
And I miss the sound of silence
And I miss the smell of trees
And I miss the light of the fire
And the taste of the tea
And I miss the stars at night
And I miss the sound of rain
And I miss the barking from the dog
And the smell of the meals
And I miss the sound of silence
And I miss the smell of trees
And I miss the light of the fire
And the taste of the tea
And I miss the stars at night
And I miss the sound of rain
And I miss the barking from the dog
And the smell of the meals
I’m not at home anymore

Water
03:49
|

I’m not afraid cos I know that we’ll be fine
I’m okay to wait so I can be sure it’s alright
We’ve been here a thousand and one times
When we’re in the clear I’ll hold you and call you mine
I don’t mind waiting but only for you
I don’t mind waiting but only for you
I called you away from the water
away from the water’s edge
I called you away from the water
away from the water’s edge
Take it on yourself to try and fix the truth
It’s not written yet so there’s hope for just a few
I’m plain sailing cos I’m scared of what I might do
Circumstances stop me, well that’s just a nice excuse
I called you away from the water
away from the water’s edge
I called you away from the water
away from the water’s edge
I watch you
And I try to read between the lines
I’m waiting for you yourself to find

I'm Done
03:52
|
|||
Is getting older getting wiser or is it all a lie
The more you think you know the world the more you want to cry
I sometimes wish I didn’t know how to wake up
And just sleep till there’s nothing more
And drink from my own cup
I’m done, I think that I’m through
Maybe I just missed the boat
I wasn’t there that day
When they said to be happy
You need A B C and D
I don’t see it quite so simple and I don’t see it quite so fair
Cos if I wasn’t breaking down I wouldn’t be anywhere
I’m done, I think that I’m through
Don’t care about this game we’re in
It’s so far from my truth
I’m done, I think that I’m through
My dreams are all caving in
And drowning with my youth
Am I really growing up, or am I growing down?
Like the story of the button man, in Fitzgeralds town
I had it all clear back then
Now I look and I’m trapped in my own skin
I’m done, I think that I’m through
Don’t care about this game we’re in
It’s so far from my truth
I’m done, I think that I’m through
My dreams are all caving in
And drowning with my youth

What is going through your head?
What is underneath the bed?
Run away and stop trying to hold it in
Try to find my wonderland
Tell me what took you so long
Why couldn’t you wait till we were home?
Can you tell me if I’m meant to be
With a hole a rabbit and a tree
I’m just locked up in myself
While you’re free to free yourself
Fake it till I fall asleep
And pray to god that I don’t dream
Tell me what took you so long
Why couldn’t you wait till we were home?
Can you tell me if I’m meant to be
With a hole a rabbit and a tree
And I try to run from myself
How could I not see?
There’s no dream waiting for me
In the end there’s no fantasy
Tell me what took you so long
Why couldn’t you wait till we were home?
Can you tell me if I’m meant to be
With a hole a rabbit and a tree

Run as fast as you can
Out of this broken head
We won’t fight
Find your chamber to breath
Crawl up and down the walls
We won’t fight
We won’t fight
The victims of bad luck
They swarm through the crowd
Asking forgiveness
And living in doubt
Leave it on the corner where the old people pray
Every one last time that we had it out
I felt like my voice was letting me down
Walk on past the corner where the old people pray
Green contrasting the grey
I’m feeling my way
I won’t fight
And once every week
I wake out of my sleep
I won’t fight
I won’t fight
The victims of bad luck
They swarm through the crowd
Asking forgiveness
And living in doubt
Leave it on the corner where the old people pray
Every one last time that we had it out
I felt like my voice was letting me down
Walk on past the corner where the old people pray
The victims of bad luck
They swarm through the crowd
Asking forgiveness
And living in doubt
Leave it on the corner where the old people pray
Every one last time that we had it out
I felt like my voice was letting me down
Walk on past the corner where the old people pray
Walk on past the corner where the old people pray
Walk on past the corner where the old people pray

Maybe That's Love
05:13
|

Maybe we should just say our goodbyes
Maybe we should just break all ties
When you’re not here it’s too hard for me
When even living makes it too hard to breath
Are you happy, or are you numb?
Are we lying to ourselves or is that all part of the fun?
I don’t want to push you away
But sometimes we’re just not ok
We’re not ok we’re not ok
You’ve left all the wolves behind
Did you even notice the parts of me that died?
Every little hurt gets multiplied by ten
And every doubt hurts like hell
It hurts like hell it hurts like hell
It hurts when I make you cry
It hurts when you make me die
It hurts when I make you cry
It hurts because with you I know love
I don’t want to but maybe that’s love
I don’t want to but maybe that’s love
I don’t want to but maybe that’s love

Where it Went Wrong
04:39
|
|||
I’m, I’m, waiting for the day that you’ll come alive
I’m, I’m, waking up in doubt about all I left behind
You see clearly now how we’re better off at home
You see clearly now hoe we both cried
For the day gone
When we could have been anywhere but on our own
And we could have seen where it all went so wrong
Wait, Wait, just a little bit, longer for me
To be, clear of what I said, when I still dreamt
All of these words have slipped my mind
And all of these promises waiting in line
For the day gone
When we could have been anywhere but on our own
And we could have seen where it all went so wrong
I don’t know where it all went so wrong
What is the point?

Fuse
04:17
|
|||
I’m blowing out the fuse boy, cos I
I’ve got nothing left to lose, boys
And I care nothing for, the beautiful people, running round
And around and around from dusk till dawn
Just hoping to be seen, believe
It’s, not, because we need
And where do I go next?
Where do I go?
I’ve lost all confidence,
For what I know
And time and time again
I try to stand but I only
Get to my knees
I need to find some space, so that I
Can try to fix my ways, but it’s
Just like the longest wait,
And we both, know the feeling
Of waking up and hating the thought
Of facing towards the daily
Wasting wait
No we can’t stay
And where do I go next?
Where do I go?
I’ve lost all confidence,
For what I know
And time and time again
I try to stand but I only
Get to my knees
On my knees, I’m on my knees,
On my knees, I’m on my knees,
On my knees, I’m on my knees,
On my knees
And where do I go next?
Where do I go?
I’ve lost all confidence,
For what I know
And time and time again
I try to stand but I only
Get to my knees

Love You Too Much
05:14
|
|||
It’s not like we can dream out way out of here
I can’t force you to stay my dear
How can we not know what we’ve got when we’ve got it?
All my fears became real when you
Uttered those little words
It feels like I’m not here
When you’re talking around my fears
And what did I do but love you
Love you too much
It’s not like
I can stop myself from dreaming
Or find a place for healing
Forgotten what it’s like
To want to see you
All my fears became real when I
Tore my own world apart
Tore my own world apart
It feels like I’m not here
When you’re talking around my fears
And what did I do but love you
Love you too much
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to be afraid
It feels like I’m not here
When you’re talking around my fears
And what did I do but love you
Love you too much

Leather
04:21
|
|||
The leather on my wrist
For every year we kissed
Even now they’re still there
Broken
We learned how to forget
You taught me how to speak again
All those things that made us love
We failed
I remember, the days
Looking in your eyes
I watched, the waves
Turn to red and white
Memories, they fade
We were holding on so tight
So tight
But I’m not, I’m not running anymore
Only a bears love
Made me feel whole
No one said that it would hurt so
Every time you say those names
That book was a gift
That you left behind
Filed with words for you
From a bird
I remember, the days
Looking in your eyes
I watched, the waves
Turn to red and white
Memories, they fade
We were holding on so tight
So tight
But I’m not, I’m not running anymore
