- All We Ever See Of Stars Are Their Old Photographs
The redness of his face permits
The truth his words won't dare admit
His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens
Broken doors and thoughtless words
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Feeble threats and loveless debts
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
- Bring You Home
Only whispers of storms,
And how they had to come
And shadows that speak of a time we were young
If I could take back
All the things that we've done
My heart won't forgive me the breath in my lungs
And wouldn't take you away from me
They'll take you away
- Drop Me Off At The Bridge
The fresh night air
The stinging scent of chlorine
The stars they shine so bright
They cancel out the headlights
Ignore the signs,
Keep running faster, faster
The moon it caught your eyes
- Ewe-knee-verse
I see myself inside your eyes he said*
Almost inaudibly this time
And from across the room she smiled at him
She barely knew that he was alive.
Your following a path that no ones seen before
You're bathed in light that shines so bright.
Such beauty no one cared,
- Footsteps
Footsteps
You can almost see them walking,
Here alongside hand in hand
The lovers' feet entwining,
Left soft impressions in the sand
You know they were happy here not long ago
- Hello, my name is Distance
Drop all these words, they fall on deaf ears
Drop all these words
All the times you've felt the ground decay
And wished the earth would take you too
To keep a world inside your head
Know that there's a line a mile long
Who'd gladly take the plunge with you
- I Was Born Ready Baby
All these words they fall
And form a noose around my neck
And I know just how to break them
But I keep choking on regret
Someone do me a favour please
Make some room for me to breathe in here
On your way out, burst my heart
- Ink Well Paper Stains
If I stop wishing, putting hope in far off stars,
If I could follow dreams more close to home,
Be happy where things are
When left alone in anxious silence,
my thoughts conveyed continue living
And laces these lines with hopeful words,
that curl and dance across the page
- It's Floating Wicker Propelled By Fire
a lead balloon weighing down this basket.
I'll crash it through you're roof
and not explain my actions after.
Now I'm waiting for the other foot to drop
And I'm waiting for this ringing in my head
To stop
Someone grab the phone and throw it through the wall
- My Conscience Is the Only One Who Gets Me
I've failed trying to steal the stars from someone else's sky
Trying to light the way back home, light a path for you and I {For you and I}
Sometimes I wish I could be the one who makes you cry
And tells you lies to make you smile then slowly watch you fall apart
I'm seven days from the sun but I'm still burning
I'm seven days from the sun and I'm never learning
- Oh
Let's go back to the start
To the warmth of the summer
Where it could melt your heart
Which we could put back together
It takes just days to remember
Exactly how good your light felt
Or is this the true way for
- Oh... Knees Don't Bend The Other Way
So lets go back to the start, to the warmth of the summer
It could melt your heart, which we could put back together
It takes just days to remember exactly how good your light felt
Or is this the true way for me to see how I’ve acted
There’s a chill coming in from your side of the room
And I’m afraid if I speak that it’ll be too soon,
- Sorry Honey, This City Has A Limit
Streetlights fake a smile
As clouds mask her sadness
Night leaves mock crowds applause
This calming statics settling in.
Drops trace her face
Prove what's sad remains,
so beautiful
- The Grass Is Greener On Our Side
What if it's something I said,
And you misread me?
And now my intentions aren't clear,
They're all bleeding out
It's sad now that that's all it takes
These words deceive me
To find out that it isn't real,
- The Jedis Are Going to Feel This One
You can't see through these eyes,
And I won't question if I deserve this
The answer's much too hard to bear
It's like I'm watching myself when I'm with you,
And I can't recognise what I see
There is no visible doubt when I'm with you,
And I can't recognise what I see
- When Everything Is Done
I'll meet you here, one more time
For a moment, did we lose our way?
Will you ask me if I miss this?
But somehow I know, I know
I'll bring down these four walls
I'll bring down these four walls
