LYRICS
When we’re young we talk about the future
When we’re old we talk about the past
Present here and present there will always be
It will call upon so few of us
All at once you find out you’re not ready
When cold hard truth knocks you to the ground
All at once wishing to take it all back in hind-sight
Its never just black and white
There’s so many blurred lines
Talk to god and ask him what you’re doing
Trust his light and trust you’re gunna die
Pray to him but don’t preach to me of redemption
I don’t need a reason for why
It’s your life, don’t blame it on somebody else
It’s your life, run with it
It’s your life, don’t blame it on somebody else
It’s your life, don’t run away, run with it

LYRICS
23:30
I didn’t question you joining me for drinks
That’s the way the world works when you live like we live
Find a moment, make it count, quick-smart
You were like that right from the start
Catching beers, sharing thoughts
Running for the last train home
1 - I don’t remember when the feelings started to grow but
2 - I can’t tell you when the feelings started to grow but
Oh, did I read this wrong
Oh, he said, ‘I don’t know what I want’
And I thought
Oh, won’t you say what you mean…
I didn’t think it but then you drove through the snow
Just for a quick visit before you’d have to go
I wouldn’t have thought it
But then you insisted on that seat
Not the one across the table but the one right next to me
Followed me downstairs just to be there too
Said there never seemed to be enough time for us to be together
For me to be with you
Cos I thought I knew what we were about
When the words fell out of my mouth
I couldn’t breathe, you won my heart
The truth was a light straight out of the dark
I’m sure you didn’t mean it
But then you meant every last thing
I couldn’t breathe when you won my heart
And pushed it back into my open arms
And I thought, who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Oh, did I read this wrong
Oh, he said, ‘I don’t know what I want’
And I thought
Oh, won’t you say what you mean…
What you mean to say
Is you don’t want me

LYRICS
Lady, where you been getting to?
You didn’t call, so I don’t write anymore
Lady, how you been getting through?
You didn’t call, so we don’t talk anymore
If its all the same to ya
I’ll leave this where it is and I’ll go
My heart’s been over compensating
Sinking deep and taking it slow
If its all the same to ya
I’ll leave this where it is and I’ll go
There’s nothing quite like blowing bubbles
Sinking deep and taking it slow
Lady, there you go again
Clouding all my truths and taking all the strength I had
My fractured disposition is holding on to what we lost
I let go of what I wanted cos the truth cost me too much
It was never enough
Lady, what’s going through your brain?
Mine’s on fire, burning desire
When my fractured disposition is holding on to what we had
I’m letting go of what I wanted
Giving in not fighting back
Giving in not fighting back
I’m on the bottom, I’m looking up
I’ve got fishes here cheering me on
I’m on the bottom and I’m looking up
Can’t let water keep filling my lungs
Oh yeah - I’ve got fishes here and they’re cheering me on
I’m on the bottom baby I’m coming up
No more water’s gunna fill these lungs

LYRICS
Watching the sky line
Chasing the daylight
Searching for someone I don’t know yet
I don’t know if I will find you here
Passing through people
Like a plane in the clouds
Nothing to report to ground control
No reason to doubt
(And yet) Nothing to single you out
I don’t know if I will find you here
Extra extra read all about it
Extra extra read it in this years news
Extra extra read all about it
I’m just another of the hundreds of lonely hearts
Strolling by the banks of the river Thames
Stood on a platform
Watching people in streams
Conforming like soldiers to orders
Looking like obedient sheep
In a uniform fashion
In this push and pull heave
I don’t know that I will find you here
Sometimes it’s good to know you’re not alone
Sometimes it’s good to know you’re not alone
Sometimes it’s good to know you’re not alone
Sometimes it’s good to know
Sometimes you need to know
Sometimes I don’t know

LYRICS
Caught up in the rush
Felling the buzz
Stuck in the haze of day to day
Living my life with my first world problems
I’ve got almost all that I want
And much more than what I need
Times change, changes change things
People grow but were all so, very very small
In such a big big world
I thought I knew you well
Annabelle
I was looking for answers
I was searching for someone for so long
And then you came along
You walked in and then out of my life
Did it all in the blink of an eye
I ‘ve been wondering why
You were, you are
I know now what I lost
You were, you are, you always will be
Beautiful to me

Can't Find Peace

LYRICS
I can’t change the things I’ve done
They’re now part of who I’ve become
I don’t regret decisions I’ve made
They’re what brought me here today
I don’t have much, but I’ve got more than enough
And I can’t find peace but I’m sure it’s out there somewhere
I heard that truth means the most
When it comes from a place that’s hard to touch
And slightly bitter to taste
It’s fair to say that I miss you
It’s fair to say that we don’t talk any more
It’s fair to say that I miss you
And I wish you the very best
It’s fair to say that I miss you
And I think it’s a shame we don’t talk anymore
It’s fair to say that I miss you
And I wish you all the very best

LYRICS
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
Words, they’ve got power
If you use them wisely
You can get many a thing achieved
Words, they’ve got meaning
They can hurt your feelings
Or they can make you feel
High as a kite in the bright blue sky
You say so many things
Meaning to call means nothing if you don’t
Your words of power slide down a slope
And pile up just like used matches
They’ve got no use, they’ve got no reason to keep
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
Words, they get spoken
Across the land and across the oceans
They put plans into motion
Words, they can be written
Make a record of decisions
Write a holy book of religious rules and regulations
You say so many things
Meaning to call means nothing if you don’t
Your words of power slide down a slope
And pile up just like used matches
They’ve got no use, they’ve got no reason to keep
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
Words, they’ve got power
If you use them wisely
You can get many a thing achieved
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
You keep sparking up my fire
Just to watch it burn and then leave it to peter out
