Sworn to secrecy I might go after school
She was an angel I saw her swimming there
I am in such a mess I can't cope without this
She just teases me pretends she can't see me here

So let me go out there
I can breathe fresh air
Stay with you all night
Just let me love you
Just for a while want to
Be with you all night
Be with you all night

Until I fall asleep
Just let me be here
I won't tell anyone

Don't want to wake up

Has nobody asked you how you are
You look like you might not last the day
I wouldn't have made it very far
So we'd make a good team right away
I've not made amends for yesterday
My lip won't get me out of it
Waking up dreading hearing tales
Of all of my nightmares being true

I take a breath and grab the phone
Secretly hoping you're not home
I'd leave a message I was out
Out of my mind on drink and drugs

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
i said to much
but not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home

With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time

You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

What have I done it's too late for that
What have become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask..this time

You cool your bed-warm hands down
On the broken radiator,
And when you lay them freezin' on me,
A mumble can you wake me later.
But I don't really want you to stop,
And you know it so it doesn't stop you,
You run your hands from my neck to my chest.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around your face and body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be awed each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

It's been minutes it's been days.
It's been all I will remember,
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow.
Your hills and valleys,
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers;
And in a naked slumber, I'll dream all this again.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around your face and body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be awed each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around your face and body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be awed each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

A little after twelve
The function suite was full
Of people I had never seen before
Ripped up ticket stubs
Confettied on the floor
It dawned on me I'd seen it all before

Cool your beans my son
You look a fucking mess
No one's getting out of here tonight
Hit that button there
The one that just says wrong
And we'll lose our minds to all our favourite songs

Throw forward to later
You look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner
Getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
And the threat in your walk

And suddenly
It lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can't contain me
But you'll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

A little after four
The function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub
But here's a helping hand
A voice that's far too close
And I am up and on my broken limbs

Throw forward to later
You look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat
I'm like a prisoner
Getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
And the threat in your walk

And suddenly
It lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face
It can't contain me
But you'll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

I'll get tired of the heart attacks
Every time it rings
I'll put myself on the waiting list
And get it all cleared up
You're the one with the attitude
Don't try and make me out
To be the root of the evil in
The whole rotten affair

Lie back and suffer now
We've both earned our reward

Buried deep in the telegram
I'm sure I never got
Was any clue of the whereabouts
Of all the things I'd lost
Just because you were right before
Doesn't mean you're right
To make up now would just vindicate
Every doubt I had

It's not as simple as
How much you think you care
You would never know
When to take the hint
Broken glass aside
My feelings stay the same
Covered head to toe
In blood and fear and spite

I'm trying not to stare, it's too late
The blankets over there, if you like
I'm broken and I'm colder than hell
I should've said I'd not come back here

Your breakfast will get cold
I really have to go

It's easier to lie and be safe
Time and time again I'm half stalled
One giant leap of faith is easy
When everyone you ask is so sure

Just give a second thought
What if we don't get caught

Just say you love me now
And forget this whole row
Just save your energy
For making up with me

It's hard to argue when
you won't stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves
and it keeps digging my own grave

With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

Why would I sabotage
The best thing that I have
Well it makes it easier to know
Exactly what I want

With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
that your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me tired with joy

(x2)

Put Sufjan Stevens on
and we'll play your favorite song
"Chicago" bursts to life
And your sweet smile remembers you

My Hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens

It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me tired with joy

For once I want to be the car crash

Not always just the traffic jam

Hit me hard enough to wake me

Lead me wile to your dark roads

Headlights, before me, so beautiful so clear
Reach out and take it
Cause I’m so tired for this fear

My tong is lost so I can’t tell you

Please just see it in my eyes

I’m pull all thorns from our ripped bodies.

And let the blood fall in my mouth.

Headlights, before me, so beautiful so clear
Reach out and take it
Cause I’m so tired for this fear

Headlights, before me, so beautiful so clear
Reach out and take it
Cause I’m so tired for this fear

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up
I won't stop, no way

Please keep you're hands down
And stop raising you're voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heare a single word I have said...
Oh, my god

Please take it easy it can't be all my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them' and not a lot else
It seems I stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's burstin� into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
It�s here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse for an insight

And I knew the the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
of ovens, aeroplanes and of distant car horns

A fire, a fire
You can only take what you can carry
A pulse, your pulse
It's the only thing I can remember
I break, you don't
I was always set to self-destruct, oh
The fire, the fire
It cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
It's become my engine, my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash beats my cave

A fire, a fire
You can only take what you can carry
A pulse, your pulse
It's the only thing I can remember
I break, you don't
I was always set to self-destruct, oh
The fire, the fire
It cracks and barks like primal music.

A fire, a fire
You can only take what you can carry
A pulse, your pulse
It's the only thing I can remember
I break, you don't
I was always set to self-destruct, oh
The fire, the fire
It cracks and barks like primal music

Want something
That's purer than the water
Like we were

It's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have

Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold

Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand

And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about

The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time

I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on

And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about

It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost

I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

It's so simple and you know it is
You know it is, yeah
We can't be to and fro like this
All our lives
You're the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

Hold on hold on, let me get the words out before I burst
There's no truth at all poking at the giant eyes of ancient Gods
Cool heads have failed now it's time for me to have my turn
Kiss me, kiss me, life is way too short to scream and shout

Flashed up in my wildest dreams the dark red blood streams
stretching out like vast cracked ice
The viens of you the viens of me like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
guding like a satellite in the broken night
and when I wake you're there i'm saved
your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own

Sing out, sing out the silence only eats us from the inside up
I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late
Wake up, wake up dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares
snap out of it you said it in a way that showed you really cared.

I could help myself
To something like
A little bit of revelation
You could be the one to help me help myself

Maybe if I can see
Exactly what was in your way
I'd move it for you
Don't always need to do it by yourself

I'm not tryin'to find
A way to get into your bed
I'll just sing for you
Than I will go

I've never understood
How you should feel
You've been left out
I'd never do that
It's all in your imagination, dear

Please don't let this turn into something it's not,
I can only give you everything I've got,
I can't be as sorry as you think I should,
But I still love you more than anyone else could.

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight,
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right,
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long,
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong.

The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss in the first time that I felt connected to anything.
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned.
The final word in the final sentence you ever learned to me was love.

We have got through so much worse than this before,
What's so different this time that you can't ignore,
You say it is much more than just my last mistake,
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes.

The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss in the first time that I felt connected to anything.
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned.
The final word in the final sentence you ever learned to me was love.

And I don't know where to look,
My words just break and melt,
Please just save me from this darkness,
Please just save me from this darkness.

And I don't know where to look,
My words just break and melt,
Please just save me from this darkness,
Please just save me from this darkness.

Something snapped me out of a dream
That I was having
I'd fallen down an elevator shaft
But now I'm back again
Tidying up after the fight we had

Happy with yourself
Well you've never looked so satisfied
Teasing me with stuff like a spoilt little brother
You finished yet?
Have you got what you really want?

You left your door wide open
Couldn't help but walk in
It's the last place I should be
But I'm dying to see you

Have I held out for something?
That is never gonna happen

It's not me that you love (6x)

You woke up cold this morning
Shied away from my touch
I would never mean to hurt you
'Cause I love you so much

Was it always only one night
That you ever wanted from me

It's not me that you love (6x)

All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old

The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes (4*)

Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time

Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine

Tell me that you'll open your eyes (8*)

All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you

he yellowed page,
of the books, and books
I'd forgotten that I had.
These paperbacks,
they know their age
they smell of weight
and time that's resting warm
The opened box,
beside the endless box,
parade and taunts,
my house.
Is fit to split,
with photographs that tell,
the wanderlust of years smashed onto years.

When all this actual life played out,
where the hell on earth was I?
I rack my brains but it wont come.
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes,
the fleeting triumphs,
blazen lies,
all seem to mingle into one.

I read your name,
under words in your,
elegant hand you probably don't mean now.
I fold the letter,
and think of a million,
and one thing's that I could have done different.

When all this actual life played out,
where the hell on earth was I?
I rack my brains but it wont come.
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes,
the fleeting triumphs, blazen lies,
all seem to mingle into one.
One gigantic fairy tail,
of friends I haven't seen in years,
drinking till the daylight hurts.
You seem friendly,who are you?
That's a lot of wine that we got through,
we've made playtime look like work.

Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands.

Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands,
Please just take these photos from my hands.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
all I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Maybe somewhere else
Will not be half as cold as me
The curtains drawn the winter sun
Makes patterns on your face
It looks like some kaleidoscopic breathing exercise

It's the same
It's the same
It's the same
Baby wont you breathe
Baby wont you breathe

Hold me in your freezin' arms
Before we have to go.
I wince a little, but it's not because I know the truth
The windshield of your little car is frosted through the glass
A clear heart of air appears as we shiver on the seats

It's the same(It's the same, the same)
It's the same
It's the same

It's the same(It's the same, the same)
It's the same
It's the same

Treat it as a test
Treat it as a test
Baby wont you breathe
Baby wont you breathe
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same

It's the same (It's the same, the same)
It's the same
It's the same

Just close your eyes
and count to five

let's craft the only thing we know into surprise

Set down your glass
I panted this

To look like you and me forever as we're now

And I'm shaken then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills
Like to tell you, all I want is now

You sing and I'm killed
I'm just not the same

As I was a year ago and each minute since then

My jumper tears
as we take it off
an you say you'll sew me good as new and I know you will

And I'm shaken then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills
like to tell you, all I want is now.

I find a map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

shut your eyes and think of somewhere

somewhere cold and caked in snow

by the fire we break the quiet

learn to wear each other well

and when the worrying starts to hurt

and the world feels like graves of dirt

just close your eyes until

you can imagine this place

you're our secret space at will

shut your eyes, i spin the big chair

and you'll feel dizzy, light and free

and falling gently on the cushion

you can come and sing to me

and when the worrying starts to hurt

and the world feels like graves of dirt

just close your eyes until

you can imagine this place

you're our secret space at will

*shut your eyes*

*shut your eyes*

*shut your eyes*

*shut your eyes*

shut your eyes and sing to me

*shut your eyes and sing to me*

shut your eyes and sing to me

*shut your eyes and sing to me*

shut your eyes and sing to me

*shut your eyes and sing to me*

shut your eyes and sing to me

*shut your eyes and sing to me*

The perfect words never crossed my mind,
'cause there was nothing in there but you,
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me,
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety

No I won't wait forever(2x)

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire,
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe x2
Something happened, that I never understood
You can't leave x2
Every second, dripping off my fingertips
Wage your war x2
Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
Well I am scared
I'm so scared
In slow motion, the blast is beautiful
Doors slam shut x2
A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away
Safe and sound x2

I broke into your house last night
And left a note at your bedside
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and I'm not sure why

I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out towards you right
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies

I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut
A little peace of mind that I know better
That the plain disgrace of all my letters

After that the floodgates opened up
And I fell in love with everyone I saw
Please take your time I'm not in any rush
And it's in everything I ever write

Its not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by life so thanks a lot
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this once and follow me

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life into it's hands
And it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records in words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love this place enough to know i have no doubts
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your a call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It's a mess, it's a start
It's a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing, 'til you drop
'Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it's teeth like a light
And spits me out after day's
But we're all gluttons for it
We know what's wrong and it's right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always

The earth is warm
Next to my ear
Insect noise
Is all that I hear
A magic trick
Make the world disappear
The sky’s are dark
They dark but their clear

I deter medicate and suddenly there’s joy
The snow and second sake blur is all my senses know
It’s like the finish line where everything just stay
The cracker radio seems close enough to touch

Cold water
Cleaning the woods
A separate with a single blur
I’m done with this
I’m coming to tell
Blue as sea’s
Running to it

I feel like I’m watching everything for space
And then a minute I hear my name and I’m awake
I think the finish line is a good place we could start
Take a deep breath take it all that you could want

What if this storm ends?
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again

The perfect halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance

Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow

Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me

What if this storm ends?
And leaves us nothing
Except a memory
A distant echo

I want pinned down
I want unsettled
Rattle cage after cage
Until my blood boils

I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living

Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless

The winters mar the Earth
It's floor was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more

I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you

The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in this silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are

I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in a America
It's all for you

Is there a place I can go
Is there a light to get me there
If I've forgotten what to say
It's because all words are dust
If this is really what you think
How come you won't look me in the eye
All this crying in your sleep
As I lie awake beside

Is there a T-shirt I can wear
Cause I am soaking look at me
What do you mean I don't love you
I'm standing here, aren't I
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise
Is there a place I can go
Is there a light to get me there

Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
Are you ready for the shit to hit
I think you say you are but aren't
Doctor make it better instantly
You're the only one who can
I've been waiting here my whole damn life
And I've forgotten what I wanted

Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go

Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love her
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see

If I lied you'd know it instantly
So I just had to look away
All the honesty I've ever lost
I can't begin to even curse
I never knew the taste of blood till now
It's clear I never should have known
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there's a dark side in us all

Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go

Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love her
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see

It's a feeling I've had many times before
I can't hold the fort so don't give me more
I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake
When I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine

It's the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don't deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I've not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily
As the madness sets in

You must know that I'll follow you (X5)

A sudden movement and a broken limb
The patches are there to show where I'm hit
My fault is it now well that's news to me
Curled and joyless we try once again

It's the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don't deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I've not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily
As the madness sets in

Don't be scared of anything at all
Everything we have is all we need
All the spotlights dreaming into angry skies
Means there's no one watching as we leave

Same plain things that contends who you have when you see me
if it looks like it works
and it feels like it works
than it works
With the sun on your face all these worries will soon disappear yeah
just follow me now
just follow me now

I found careful patterns in the snow
It seems your death came round
but changed your mind
if you just take time
what counts to me
I won't ever ask you how can

Just because I couldn't say
doesn't make me a liar
noticed the change in the tone of your voice
it's so clear
rolling these messes is not something
that I can be proud of
but it's all gonna change
yeah it's all going to change

Same plain things that contends who you have when you see me
if it looks like it works
and it feels like it works
than it works
With the sun on your face all these worries will soon disappear yeah
just follow me now
just follow me now

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silent screaming blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Train this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere

Just give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cause you are all that I have

You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cause you are all that I have

There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
