Lighting Waits
There’s a love can’t be painted,
There’s a truth science defines,
There’s a place with you I’m looking for,
Still searching for,
but maybe I can’t find.
Where it’s busy like a city time lapse,
Breathes like a rainforest scene,
Exists somewhere out there somewhere,
In a lost memory,
Like the lightning waits for thunder,
I’ve been listening for your call,
Well I no longer have to wonder,
Because your silence says it all,
The sky is full of tears,
With you nowhere near,
Never is way too late,
All I want to hear,
I’ve set myself up here,
Dancing in this rain,
And it’s all all all I hear
All all all I hear
I won’t make myself chase you,
Turn into a background noise,
It’s a place with you,
We’ve been before,
A lost treasure, Atlantis of the mind,
We’re living in different time-zones,
Separate seconds, hours, days of the week,
If it all could come full circle,
And we’re not a missed opportunity...
Like the lightning waits for thunder,
I’ve been listening for your call,
Well I no longer have to wonder,
Because your silence says it all,
The sky is full of tears,
With you nowhere near,
Never is way too late,
All I want to hear,
I’ve set myself up here,
Dancing in this rain,
And it’s all all all I hear
All all all I hear

Fix Everything
04:17
|
|||
|
Don’t take a scissors to the papers when the world breaks from falling apart,
Tell Europe to get back together again,
Tell America, I still believe in...guitars,
Look in the mirror when you’re feeling sick,
Instead of throwing your love around, hoping that something will stick
I’m being positive, it’s in an attitude, it’s in a walk,
It’s a way to wade through it all,
Staying fully charged
I believe in love, I believe in good,
You have seen it work, you have seen it light up in faces,
Don’t feel like you should, take on extra pressure in finding the best way to live,
I’ll fix everything
Don’t argue, I’m listening, I am listening,
Promise me, I’ll promise you, promises are staying true,
I don’t know where to start, let’s start with the small things, can we just stop fighting?
And let me fix everything, let me fix everything,
Let me fix everything, for you
And let me fix everything, let me fix everything,
Let me fix everything, for you
Cut the tension with a quick smile at the right hours, only we can see,
Make the right gesture when it’s the right time, light a flare send it up for a rescue party,
Nobody said it would be easy, part of the pay-off is leaving some mystery
I’m being positive, it’s in an attitude, it’s in a walk,
It’s a way to wade through it all
Staying fully charged
I believe in love, I believe in good,
You have seen it work, you have seen it light up in faces,
Don’t feel like you should, take on extra pressure in finding the best way to live,
I’ll fix everything
Don’t argue, I’m listening, I am listening,
Promise me, I’ll promise you, promises are staying true,
I don’t know where to start, start with the small things, can we stop fighting
And let me fix everything, let me fix everything,
Let me fix everything, for you
And let me fix everything, let me fix everything,
Let me fix everything, for you

Weekend Mornings
04:15
|

|
Nothing could start a better day,
Nothing like being in this state,
Once I see your face first thing,
Summer, Autumn, Winter to Spring
Nothing could make me turn away,
Nothing like being in this place,
Once I see you there smiling,
Means more to me than anything.
When can you tell me when
I don't remember putting the power in your hands,
When can you tell me when?
I thought forever had come, and forever had past
When can you tell me when?
You rearranged the order of priorities I have,
When can you tell me when?
It was all out of sync and now love’s coming in first and coming in last
When the weekend mornings come
And the yellow and orange light,
Dances on the duvet covers,
You know that I’ll give you more love,
I’ll wake up a hundred thousand times,
More to this with you, over and over,
When the weekend mornings come
With you wanna wake under the sun
When the weekend mornings come with you
Oh nothing could start a better day,
Nothing like being in this state,
Once I see your face first thing,
Summer, Autumn, Winter to Spring
When the weekend mornings come
and the yellow and orange light,
Dances on the duvet covers,
You know I’ll give you more love,
I’ll wake up a hundred thousand times,
More to this with you, over and over,
When the weekend mornings come
With you wanna wake under the sun
When the weekend mornings come with you

With Some Optimism
03:44
|
|||
|
I come all fired up, catwalk in stiletto strut,
Frightened that this could all go wrong,
We see the negative, though it’s hard to admit,
This time with you, it’s tough to call.
So when you kiss me is a poisoned love,
Only kills me when it hits my system,
When it kicks in it’s a Warning Warning,
That this mode of thinking needs an overhaul,
The fear I’m forming keeps returning returning returning on me
You you’re only going to lose, to lose
You’re never gonna win,
If you keep coming up with excuses.
With you what if I refuse? to think that it’s true
What if I imagine that it’s you and me,
With some optimism, some optimism?
To come with boxing mitts is milk from toxic tits,
Set up and ready for a fall,
Where you can’t fire me, well not before I quit,
If I don’t love you not at all.
So when you kiss me is a poisoned love,
Only kills me when it hits my system,
When it kicks in it’s a Warning Warning,
That this mode of thinking needs an overhaul,
The fear I’m forming keeps returning returning returning on me
You you’re only going to lose, To lose
You’re never gonna win,
If you keep coming up with excuses.
With you what if I refuse? (to think it through)
What if i imagine that it’s you and me,
With some optimism, some optimism?
And in an effort to keep us both intact,
I was twisting what was fiction into fact,
And all the effort that you made is working,
I’m sorry that I was afraid of hurting you,
No use in fighting it and falling further and further,
further into you
You, you’re never gonna win,
If you keep coming up with excuses.
You - Couldn't I refuse to think this through?
What if i imagine that it’s you and me,
With some optimism, some optimism
With some optimism
With some optimism?!

Lash Out
03:15
|

|
Tried but I can't hide in this office
Tried but I can't hide in the suits
Tried to hold it back but I wanna glow like
I'm holding a lead from here up to the moon
and it’s turning me on tonight
I try find all those nights when you went missing
Recall all the times I recalled your phone from home
Trying to play it off like it was cool, it was nothing, it's just you
But the lies that you tried to suppress
Blowing them up tonight
I wanna lash out but I keep it inside
Tried to keep you mine
Wanna lash out
You can read me and there's nowhere left to hide
Choose your side
I'm staying on mine
I'm staying on, I'm staying on mine
Tried to act like I can do without you,
Tried to keep my mind preoccupied,
If these four walls could talk back to me,
They'd call me crazy, she’s lost it lately, maybe they'd be right,
When a wolf is out tonight
I wanna lash out but I keep inside
Tried to keep you mine
Wanna lash out
You can read me and there's nowhere left to hide
Choose your side
I'm staying on mine
I'm staying on, I'm staying on mine...

Keep The Sun Closer
04:05
|
|||
|
It’s driving me to the extremes,
Driving passed as palm trees line the quays,
Since I’ve been snow on your skin,
Since you have melted right in,
It makes sense it’s your time to leave,
Would grow cold inevitably,
Lessons we don’t want to learn,
To play with love and get burnt
You’re always used to your August nights at 26 degrees,
If you have to escape, don’t go just yet,
Can’t you touch on what it means
I’ll try to keep the sun closer if I could,
I try keep the sun closer if I could,
Closer if I could
We’re falling through the calendar,
Couldn’t list off the days of the week,
Since I’ve been breathing you in,
Since you have been everything,
You’ll always have two bags, once to stay and one to leave,
If you have to escape, don’t go just yet,
Can’t you touch how it could feel
I’ll try to keep the sun closer if I could,
I try keep the sun closer if I could,
Closer if I could
I’ll try to keep the sun closer if I could,
I try keep the sun closer if I could,
Closer if I could
Tell me what’s the likelyhood of you staying?
Of holding the heat?
I want to keep the sun closer, closer if I could.
I’ll try to keep the sun closer if I could,
I try keep the sun closer if I could,
Closer if I could,
I’ll try to keep the sun closer if I could,
I try keep the sun closer if I could,
Closer if I could

As Devastated
03:46
|
|||
|
Want to feel full to top, heels to my crown,
Spilling over, living a lucid nightmare now,
You turned me into an empty apartment tower,
Half built, I’m wilting, half devoured.
True when you drew the line, crossed to the other side,
Knew that the words would kill, though so soft-spoken,
Do do you know how to get through such a pain?
To start all over to wash clean with soap and water.
I definitely like to see you laughing,
Cry me a river, so frustrating,
I definitely get it’s not meant to be,
But I kind of want to see you be as devastated,
I know it’s late and I don’t want this side of me to show,
So best wishes,
I know it’s late, it’s late i know
You’ve stayed tougher than I’ve stood, Stuck to your ground,
A roman structure, no signs of crumbling down,
Try to reach you my hands touch stone cold marble,
No sex, no fix thought maybe I could get to you non verbally,
New man’s not on my mind, Still a fool for our potential,
Cruel how love can cut inside, deeper when devoted,
Views of so many tomorrow’s have long gone in vein,
Soaked through, destroyed all disintegrated.
I definitely like to see you laughing,
Cry me a river, so frustrating,
I definitely get it’s not meant to be,
But I kind of want to see you be as devastated,
I know it’s late and I don’t want this side of me to show,
So best wishes,
I know it’s late, it’s late i know

Who Will
03:34

Winter well on way,
All is white and grey outside,
Oh oh, oh oh
She commutes by bus,
Working hard for us,
Who will? Who will
Keep me warm when it’s cold outside,
You will, you will
I copy her clothes,
Wear the style that she does,
Who knows, who knows
The pain she tries to hide,
I wear it like it were mine,
Who comes who comes,
Keep me warm when it’s cold outside,
You will, you will
I never thought, love was all you need to grow.
I never thought, love was all you had to know,
Oh oh oh oh
Winter well on way,
All is white and grey outside,
Oh oh, oh oh

Halfway
03:40
|

|
Said you don’t like, when noone is there
For when you fly back home
Repeatedly, I check and check
For when you use your phone
To love you no limits, no limits
Short term car park, in the car,
I'll track your flight route over
Be waiting at, Arrivals,
Stand behind the barrier,
To love you no limits, no limits
Half Way Half Way to off-centre
Half Way to being incredible
What if we stay open?
What if we stay vague?
Love is never over if it’s only half way
Half way half way to off-centre
Half way to being incredible
What if we stay open?
What if we stay vague?
Love is never over if it’s only half way
Time passed by like elastic,
Thought that I missed you so much,
You landed right on schedule, I waited for the rush...
So put yourself in it, you're heart in it
Gave it a run, tried out our love,
You can’t fake the real thing,
So no surprise, we fell apart,
Was worth exploring
Have to make the decision and go with it
And we go
Half way half way to off-centre
Half way to being incredible
What if we stay open?
What if we stay vague?
Love is never over if it’s only Half way half way

Spiral
03:15
|

|
One more knock back, sets me off track, one more shock and I’d explode,
I was caught up, feeling caught up, defining details of the great unknowns
Now you’re taking me to places that I can’t forget,
Showing me a future that I can project,
Driving up corkscrew coastlines,
Somewhere I’ve been before, turns unpredictable,
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
Without warning, it’s transforming, without time to second guess,
You can see much more, you can see much more, see much more colour in the same sunset,
You find me with a landscape behind my smile,
Find me like a cliched valentine,
You find me dancing with cocktails
Smug when I suck it up, I can’t believe such luck
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
Ahh Ahh Ahh
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
I can’t control these emotions, When they spiral
