the years
02:49

|

i never thought i’d believe
that simple truth from your side
sat at the window again
i feel the day drift out
left only sympathy now
i lived the years that you lost
i felt the weight of your world
saw how that cycle repeats
i found a way out
i found a reason to try
anything you might have learned
should not be of my concern
but i kick the leaves from the ground
i try to live this out
i try to see where you are

second hand
03:07
|
|
||
here’s a lie
you don’t need to hear tonight
i don’t have to hide behind
i’ll never be up for a fight
i’ll only seem down when you are
this time you were right
we’re not going anywhere
we choose what to make of this
sleepwalk we call real time
the days just drift by
disregarded
it’s like digging both feet
into old earth
there may be a life
hidden here
but it’s too close for comfort
it’s second hand
oh, sunday
i thought we’d made it
but you only show up
in the dreams
that i don’t remember
and that’s not enough
now she’s waking up
as if you’d never left her side
it’s here that you recognise
nothing got lost over time
the years just pile up
to disguise
the ache that you felt
every moment
maybe there’s no better life
buried in the past
now it’s over
at least, second hand

from the river
04:01
|
|
||
came in cold from outside
clear grey eyes that cut through the rain
i was barely awake
blinded
calmed the storm the river sent
brought the rain that might never end
that’s fine - she said
just stay inside
know what’s on your mind
shade of a ghost
from an easier time
she came to let me out
cracks in the wall
don’t appear
we don’t have time to let them
came up warm from inside
arcane eyes turned wide in a haze
all my thoughts of days
gone astray
curving round the river bend
all my life to feel that again
just thirst, no sense
just shade and light
a fever running high

i could have been right
03:20
|
|
||
i could have been right
keeping everything my own way
you could have been wrong
calling everything by its right name
it should have been hard
burning pictures with a life in
but it’s easy to start
building something out of nothing
maybe you and i were not
cut out for this steady motion
sometimes we miss the black and white
feeling that it’s all-or-nothing
i think we’ve been away too long
we need a one way ticket
to get back home
you could have been wrong
keeping measures of your own ways
‘cause when you’re out on your own
the lists you made will count for nothing
|

dawn air, lost time
street sounds drift by
you make that call now
constant, slowed down
when i give you the right
it won’t mean that you are
you feel less when you lie
twilight, head out
pass up these crowds
midnight, no change
nothing waiting
i try to meet you
on my good side
sometimes
but that line of questioning
won’t sit right
this time
dawn air
twilight
cold rain
i won’t mind

recovery song
03:16
|
|

i cut you in on the one thing
that cut you out
kept everyone else away
you know i had to be distant
to find you now
i had to come home
just to say
that you keep me in the right place
might only see it with my eyes strained
though she’s full of the one thing
i miss tonight
it’s easy to turn away
since i’ve been out from the shade
out into the light
been blinded enough
that i’ll say
it took every false emotion
just to set that heart into motion

longer way home
03:02
|
|
||
tell me when you’ve seen her
try to let a little light in
never thought you’d be there
or know enough to do the right thing
‘cause i never seemed to know
the right way to feel in the moment
she never seemed to notice
that spark that i found
i took a longer way home
tried to let a little light in
whatever you call soul
i cleared it out to fit my life in
when you find your real home
try to let a little light in
i’ll let the smaller things go
i’ll remember you smiling

never asked you
02:56
|
|
||
i can feel i’m getting lost
in her afterthought
was always second nature
now i know that she wants more
she’s got the keys
and a foot in the door
she’s got more
than a foot in the door
said i think it’s time
i stopped looking out for you
though you wear the way we both act
better than i do
these songs are
better than the truth
the words i choose
sound better than the truth
maybe on a morning
when my head gets clear
i’ll learn just how to sing this
in a voice you’ll want to hear
be the girl
you never thought you’d see
i’ll be that girl
who never asked you for a thing

big ideas
03:13
|
|
||
you had some big ideas
i almost believed them
with designs on anything
never thought you’d be leaving now
left you nothing much to talk about
you kept that fire
you couldn’t live without
out of sight
out of my mind
you won’t find yourself in here
if you don’t wanna feel it
can’t wait out another year
while you re-write the meanings out
left you nothing much to talk about
you kept that spark
you couldn’t live without
out of sight
out of my mind
when the time was right
i was out of my mind
sat in the dark
you think you see your place
another lie you tell
to help you keep your distance
but you’re never alone
until you feel that way
and you break the only bond
that helped you get there
i hope you find another
and i hope you get another big idea

ex-sentimental
04:18
|
|
||
when i take you out
in the afternoon
there’s a faint sense that i
once held more of your time
but if i walk around
like i own somewhere
maybe you’ll see the light
you’ll find a new way to smile
but it won’t keep you long
it won’t take you with me
i see that
just hoping, for once
i’ll be the last one down
and find you tonight
so will you come out?
or will you let me in?
i’ve been the same since the dawn
offhand, unmoved by it all
but that’s just the way
that we raised ourselves
we can change at the core
i’ll try to be who you want
if i hold my head down
you can do this alone
