- A Poem I'll Sing Out Loud
I've been writing love songs for as long as I know,
But now I'm finally speechless (you've shut me up)
And failure's not an option this time
I can see my mother's face she's sick of break-up stuff
Every kiss feels like the first
Each goodbye, like the last
I don't remember doing selfless good deeds
How else would I deserve you?
- Astronauts
Are you sick of all this change
In a century that keeps feet so firmly off the ground?
You can't stand this place.
Well, I'm with you 'til the end,
So let us both go to outer space.
With nothing but pens and one will say,
"When we come back..."
- everything
With a head as muddled and cloudy as mine
And a heart that's winning races in record time
A town crier who is seldom heard
A novel writer with no words
But every last detail, and every little problem took
You have been everything to someone like me
- Home
I'll meet you on a dancefloor on a Dublin Sunday night
Feeling so irregular and hating social life
I don't drink, I just dance 'cause I have nothing else to do
Yet you'll think by the way I'm dancing that I've had quite a few
You seem to have this magnetism; you're lighting up this crowd
I didn't think I would be bothered, but I'm still hanging around
One week is all I'd give us, we wouldn't stand a chance
Yet I can see by the way we're moving that we're both seeking romance
- Old Enough
Everyone I know has assembled here for my final goodbye
People I haven't conversed with in years & those who'd thought I'd died
But I'm not ready, I saw the world yesterday
and found I'm on a dot on a map
There's all this talk amongst us all of settling
but I don't think I am ready for that
- Staying Together
I want to be in love with you forever
Forget about the childish doubts, my silence when we talk about
you going somewhere without me
Every Sunday evening time, you pack your bags and we leave mine,
I purposely leave late and hope your bus comes early
There's so many things that'll stop us from staying together
But I want to be in love with you forever
- Your Life Over Mine
My imperfections, you let them mean nothing
I'd have done the same with yours if you had any
Just because I'm a mess doesn't mean this has to end
I deem it a certainty, you'll never find such love again
Take another step, take another step back, don't leave
Look at where we've been through time
I'll always value your life over mine
