somewhere only we know

i walked across an empty land
i knew the pathway like the back of my hand
i felt the earth beneath my feet
sat by the river and it made me complete
oh simple thing where have you gone
i'm getting old and i need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
i'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin


i came across a fallen tree
i felt the branches of it looking at me?
is this the place we used to love?
is this the place that i've been dreaming of?

oh simple thing where have you gone
i'm getting old and i need something to rely on
so tell me when you're gonna let me in
i'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin

and if you have a minute why don't we go
talk about it somewhere only we know?
this could be the end of everything
so why don't we go
somewhere only we know?

somewhere only we know?

on a day like today

on a day like today
i looked at you
and i waw something in the way
you stared into the sky
i saw you were sick
and tired of my wrong turns
if you only knew the way i feel
i'd really love to tell you

but i could never seem to say the things i needed to
on a day like today no other words would do

i saw you were sick
and tired of my wrong turns
if you only knew the way i feel
i'd really love to tell you

but i can never find the words to say
and i don't know why
i can't find the words to say
and i don't know why

this is the last time

this is the last time
that i will say these words
i remember the first time
the first of many lies
sweep it into the corner
or hide it under the bed
say these things they go away
but they never do
something i wasn't sure of
but i was in the middle of
something i forget now
but i've seen too little of

the last time
you fall on me for anything you like
your one last line
you fall on me for anything you like
and years make everything alright
you fall on me for anything you like
and i know i don't mind

this is the last time
that i will show my face
one last tender lie
and then i'm out of this place
so tread it into the carpet
or hide it under the stairs
say that some things never die
well i tried and i tried

something i wasn't sure of
but i was in the middle of
something i forget now
but i've seen too little of

the last time
you fall on me for anything you like
your one last line
you fall on me for anything you like
and years make everything alright
you fall on me for anything you like
and i no i don't mind

sunshine

i hold you in my hands
a little animal
and only some dumb idiot
would let you go
but if i'm one thing
then that's the one thing
i should know
can anybody find their home
out of everyone
can anybody find their home

i hold you in cupped hands
and shield you from a storm
where only some dumb idiot
would let you go

but if i'm one thing
then that's the one thing
i should know
can anybody find their home
out of everyone
can anybody find their home
lost in the sun
can anybody find their home
come on, come on, come on
can anybody find their home

oh oh-oh-oh-oh
can anybody find their home
out of everyone
can anybody find their home
lost in the sun
can anybody find their home
come on, come on, come on
can anybody find their home

oooooh
can anybody find their home

can't stop now

i noticed tonight that the world has been turning
while i've been stuck here dithering around
though i know i said i'd wait around till you need me
but i have to go, i hate to let you down
but i can't stop now
i've got troubles of my own
cause i'm short on time
i'm lonely
and i'm too tired to talk

i noticed tonight that the world has been turning
while i've been stuck here withering away
though i know i said i wouldn't leave you behind
but i have to go, it breaks my heart to say

that i can't stop now
i've got troubles of my own
cause i'm short on time
i'm lonely
and i'm too tired to talk

to no one back home
i've got troubles of my own
and i can't slow down
for no one in town
and i can't stop now

and i can't slow down
for no one in town
and i can't stop now
for no one

the motion keeps my heart running

she has no time

you think your days are uneventful
and no one ever thinks about you
she goes her own way
she goes her own way
you think your days are ordinary
and no one ever thinks about you
but we're all the same
and she can hardly breathe without you

she says she has no time
for you now
she says she has no time

think about the lonely people
then think about the day she found you
or lie to yourself
and see it all dissolve around you

she says she has no time
for you now
she says she has no time
for you now
she says she has no time

lonely people tumble downwards
my heart opens up to you
when she says

she says she has no time
for you now
she says she has no time
for you now
she says she has no time

your eyes open

well it's a lonely road that you have chosen
morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
and it's a long time since your heart was frozen
morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
for a moment your eyes open and you know
all the things I ever wanted you to know
i don't know you, and i don't want to
till the moment your eyes open and you know

that it's a lonely place that you have run to
morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
and it's a lonely end that you will come to
morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

for a moment your eyes open and you know
all the things I ever wanted you to know
i don't know you, and i don't want to
till the moment your eyes open and you know

for a moment your eyes open and you know
all the things i ever wanted you to know
i don't know you, and i don't want to
till the moment your eyes open and you know

everybody's changing

you say you wander your own land
but when i think about it
i don't see how you can
you're aching, you're breaking
and i can see the pain in your eyes
says everybody's changing
and i don't know why

so little time
try to understand that i'm
trying to make a move just to stay in the game
i try to stay awake and remember my name
but everybody's changing
and i don't feel the same

you're gone from here
and soon you will disappear
fading into beautiful light
cause everybody's changing
and i don't feel right

so little time
try to understand that i'm
trying to make a move just to stay in the game
i try to stay awake and remember my name
but everybody's changing
and i don't feel the same

we might as well be strangers

i don't know your face no more
or feel your touch that i adore
i don't know your face no more
it's just a place i'm looking for
we might as well be strangers in another town
we might as well be living in a different world
we might as well
we might as well
we might as well

i don't know your thoughts these days
we're strangers in an empty space
i don't understand your heart
it's easier to be apart

we might as well be strangers in another town
we might as well be living in a another time
we might as well
we might as well
we might as well be strangers
be strangers
for all i know of you now
for all i know of you now
for all I know of you now
for all I know

bend & break

when you, when you forget your name
when old faces all look the same
meet me in the morning when you wake up
meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
if only i don't bend and break
i'll meet you on the other side
i'll meet you in the light
if only i don't suffocate
i'll meet you in the morning when you wake

bitter and hardened heart
aching waiting for life to start
meet me in the morning when you wake up
meet me in the morning then you'll wake up


if only i don't bend and break
i'll meet you on the other side
i'll meet you in the light
if only i don't suffocate
i'll meet you in the morning when you wake

bedshaped

many's the time i ran with you down
the rainy roads of our old town
many the lives we lived in each day
and buried altogether
don't laugh at me
don't look away

you'll follow me back
with the sun in your eyes
and on your own
bedshaped
and legs of stone
you'll knock on my door
and up we'll go
in white light
i don't think so
but what do i know?
what do i know?
i know!

i know you think i'm holding you down
and i've fallen by the wayside now
and i don't understand the same things as you
but i do

don't laugh at me
don't look away

you'll follow me back
with the sun in your eyes
and on your own
bedshaped
and legs of stone
you'll knock on my door
and up we'll go
in white light
i don't think so
but what do i know?
what do i know?
i know!

and up we'll go
in white light
i don't think so
but what do i know?
what do i know?
i know!

untitled 1

a house on fire
a wall of stone
a door that once was open
an empty face and empty bones
who ate your heart?
you're cold inside
you're not the one i hoped for
i'll see you on the other side
i'll see you on the other side

the wind wouldn't blow me home
to lie in your heart of hearts
will i ever see you again
and lie in your heart of hearts

who ate your heart?
you're cold inside
you're not the one i hoped for
i'll see you on the other side
i'll see you on the other side

the wind wouldn't blow me home
to lie in your heart of hearts
will i ever see you again
and lie in your heart of hearts
