Letra
Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth No you don't know what happened And you never will if You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall Where you've had me for hours Till I'm sure what I want But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way Please keep your hands down And stop raising your voice It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime So just say yes or no Why can't you shoulder the blame Coz both my shoulders are heavy From the weight of us both You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth You've not heard a single word I have said... Oh, my God Please take it easy it can't all be my fault I haven't made half the mistakes That you've listed so far Oh baby let me explain something It's all down to drugs At least I remember taking them and not a lot else It seems I've stepped over lines You've drawn again and again But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride - Wow4:02
Letra
Don't be scared of anything at all Everything we have is all we need All the spotlights streaming into angry skies Means there's no one watching as we leave Say the first thing that Comes into your head when you see me If it looks like it works and it feels like it works Then it works With the sun on your face All these worries will soon disappear Just follow me now I find careful patterns in the snow It seems you did come round but changed your mind If you'd just take ten more steps to me I won't ever ask you again Just because I couldn't say doesn't make me a liar I noticed a change in the tone of your voice It's so clear My role in this mess Is not something that I can be proud of But it's all going to change Say the first thing that Comes into your head when you see me If it looks like it works and it feels like it works Then it works With the sun on your face All these worries will soon disappear Just follow me now - Gleaming Auction2:04
Letra
I'll get tired of the heart attacks Every time it rings I'll put myself on the waiting list And get it all cleared up You're the one with the attitude Don't try and make me out To be the root of the evil in The whole rotten affair Lie back and suffer now We've both earned our reward Buried deep in the telegram I'm sure I never got Was any clue of the whereabouts Of all the things I'd lost Just because you were right before Doesn't mean you're right To make up now would just vindicate Every doubt I had It's not as simple as How much you think you care You would never know When to take the hint Broken glass aside My feelings stay the same Covered head to toe In blood and fear and spite - Whatever's Left2:39
- Spitting Games3:46
Letra
I broke into your house last night And left a note at your bedside I'm far too shy to speak to you at school You leave me numb and I'm not sure why I find it easier to sit and stare Than push my limbs out towards you right there My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes As blue as oceans and as pure as skies I struggle for the words and then give up My heads up with the birds on the t-hut A little piece of mind that I know better Than the plain disgrace of all my letters But after that the floodgates opened up And I fell in love with everyone I saw Please take your time I'm not in any rush And it's in everything I ever write It's not as if I need the extra weight Confused enough by life so thanks a lot Lonely written words for company Just raise the roof this once and follow me - Chocolate3:02
Letra
This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive All these places feel like home With a name I'd never chosen I can make my first steps As a child of 25 This is the straw, final straw in the Roof of my mouth as I lie to you Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at the time You're the only thing that I love It scares me more every day On my knees I think clearer Goodness knows I saw it coming Or at least I'll claim I did But in truth I'm lost for words What have I done it's too late for that What have I become truth is nothing yet A simple mistake starts the hardest time I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time - Run5:54
Letra
I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbye I nearly do Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say Slower slower We don't have time for that All I want's to find an easy way To get out of our little heads Have heart, my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear - Grazed Knees2:55
Letra
I'm trying not to stare, it's too late The blankets over there, if you like I'm broken and I'm colder than hell I should've said I'd not come back here Your breakfast will get cold I really have to go It's easier to lie and be safe Time and time again I'm half stalled One giant leap of faith is easy When everyone you ask is so sure Just give a second thought What if we don't get caught Just say you love me now And forget this whole row Just save your energy For making up with me - Ways & Means4:47
- Tiny Little Fractures2:28
Letra
Is there a place I can go Is there a light to get me there If I've forgotten what to say It's because all words are dust If this is really what you think How come you won't look me in the eye All this crying in your sleep As I lie awake beside Is there a T-shirt I can wear Coz I am soaking look at me What do you mean I don't love you I am standing here, aren't I Maybe you thought of it first Maybe I get all the praise Is there a place I can go Is there a light to get me there - Somewhere a Clock Is Ticking4:32
Letra
I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed (I could do most anything to you...) Don't you breathe Something happened, that I never understood You can't leave Every second, dripping off my fingertips Wage your war Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die Well I am scared In slow motion, the blast is beautiful Doors slam shut A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away Safe and sound - Same6:54
Letra
Maybe somewhere else Will not be half as cold as me The curtains drawn the winter sun Makes patterns on your face It looks like some kaleidoscopic breathing exercise It's the same [x6] Baby won't you breathe Hold me in your freezing arms before we have to go I whince a little but it's not because I know the truth The windshield of your little car is frosted through the glass The clear heart of air appears as we shiver on the seats It's the same [x6] Treat it as a test [x2] Baby wont you breathe [x2] It's the same [x6]
