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
2.
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

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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
