Baby When I'm Down And Out 03:49

Lyrics:

Inside your arms away from harm It’s where I wanna go Your place or mine nowhere, no time It’s where the water flows Baby when I’m down and out Real lonely and filled with doubt You can turn it all around Yes you can You can turn it all around Yes, yes you can You can turn it all around You can turn it all around Piece by piece we feel unease Use to be so tight The only thing that keeps me here Disappears in to the night Baby when I’m sad alone And there isn’t any place to go You can turn it all around Yes you can You can turn it all around Yes, yes you can You can turn it all around (even when I’m down and out) You can turn it all around (when I’m down and out) You can turn it all around (even when I’m down and out) You can turn it all around (when I’m down and out) You can turn it all around (even when I’m down and out) You can turn it all around

For Daisy 03:14

Lyrics:

Wrote a song for Daisy Jay On the day her namesake passed away You learn your lessons I can tell Live the life, and live it well And stick around Cause you might see It is all about the symmetry Stick around oh, and you might see On a different shoreline across that sea Young boy yearning for family More than a funeral with skin and bone You are away now, but your heart is home And it all comes ‘round the circle and I wish that you could see The way that she’s moving with her hands upon her knee There’s a line that moves between us through the branches of a tree And the fantasy all night is free Standing’ at the gateway now you see the hall Baby was eight months when she began to crawl Side by side with you my dear together at last You spend a long time living’ in the past And stick around Cause you might see It is all about the symmetry Stick around oh, and you might see That it all comes ‘round the circle, and I wish that you could see The way that she’s moving with her hands upon her knee There’s a line that moves between us through the branches of a tree And the fantasy all night is free And the fantasy all night is free

Heart To The Ground 03:18

Lyrics:

Waving goodbye to this lonely standstill town Under railway arches singing for the echo I remember it well like a picture There is a girl that wants to meet you at the bar Let it go now You’re wasting precious time It’s been a long time waiting Heart to the ground Hard to follow ooo Head in the sand Never let go ooo Stuck in a rut so I take the long way home Past the alvanie down blossom field grove Heaven knows that we’re wasting precious time It’s been a long time waiting Heart to the ground Hard to follow ooo Head in the skies Never let go ooo The science of a scrap of paper Everything was in reverse Poetry on post-it notes And I knew it like, it did it first, it did it first, did I know it first Sell it off for triple what it’ s worth And watch me throw my hand Heart to the ground Hard to follow ooo Head in the skies Never let go ooo Slow me to a crawl Make the wheels slide Raise me to the ground Let me follow ooo Waving goodbye to this lonely standstill town Under railway arches singing for the echo

Letter To Hermione 02:49

Lyrics:

The hand that wrote this letter sweeps the pillow clean So rest your head and read a treasured dream I care for no one else but you Tell my soul to cease the pain I think maybe you feel the same What can we do Not quite sure what we’re supposed to do So I’ve been writing just for you They say your life is going very well They say you sparkle like a different girl But something tells me that you hide When all the world is warm and tired You cry a little in the dark And so do I I’m not quite sure what you’re supposed to say I can see it’s not okay He makes you laugh; he brings you out in style He treats you well and makes you walk real fine And when he’s strong, he’s strong for you When you kiss it’s something new Did you ever call my name just by mistake? Not quite sure what I’m supposed to do So I just write some love to you

Lisbon Harbour 03:31

Lyrics:

Standing at the harbour in Lisbon Face down in the Barcelona bar You wanted to speak but she won’t pick up In to the night, with no seconding That time will stay with me Down every rain-drenched street The face in the crowd will always be there Remember a time when nobody cared Far beyond the reaches of winter Follow through the town to someplace new You wanted to speak but she won’t pick up In to the night with no second thought for me That time will stay with me Down every rain-drenched street The face in the crowd will always be there Remember a time when nobody cared Those bills unpaid and running From the local folk, the grey Step Inn Café Photos faded color, the picture Dorian Grey That time will stay with me Down every rain-drenched street That time will stay with me Down every rain-drenched street

The Paper Grenade 02:53

Lyrics:

Numbers flicker in the green display And the window frames a picture of eternal grey Feel the violence come Do we all surrender to a life one day Is to want enough to be, do you still feel the same Feel the violence come And my spirit is broken Oh brother do you hear what I hear There are songs, there are symphonies to write So I stay up all night, and I look to the day That I’m saved from the paper grenade Burn to find the wonder of the good stuff Feel the endless hours waiting for the time to pass Ultraviolet light Going out of my head I learned something from you today From the truth that was forgotten for so long If you’ve been hanging on to something that is already gone You’re a victim of the paper grenade Moving just enough to keep the fear at bay Better stay out of the city ‘till I find my love A friendship unspoken And it can acted broken Oh brother do you hear what I hear There are songs, there are symphonies to write Now I stay up all night, and I look to the day That I’m saved from the paper grenade So we’ll stay up all night, and I look to the day That I’m saved from the paper grenade

The Unassuming Start 03:18

Lyrics:

Slowly moving to a destination Waiting for our lives to start All we need is some vague direction To get back to the unassuming start Things can easily become complicated All caught up in a single phrase What a feeling when the clouds have parted and we Get back to the unassuming start And people talk about a time and place But we’re just fooling around Do you remember when we ruled the world? Our hearts were pure, true, free, and why Oh to get back to the unassuming start Balance finer than the snowy hill Further gone then you’re letting on Let me know if your door is open We can get back to the unassuming start And so you see there is no time for waste With dreams to chase and hearts and minds to feed All to get back to the unassuming start Say what you want We’re running out of time Say what you want just Say what you want Follow your heart Don’t let them take you down Follow your heart just Say what you want Did the mission ever see fruition? Did the daylight ever find your plan? If you want it you should go and get it You should get back to the unassuming start And as you sit there staring at the screen Part of the scene that no one really cares for You should get back to the unassuming start You should get back to the unassuming start

Vicious Words 03:53

Lyrics:

If looks could kill then our eyes would surely never be apart Tried to stay above you Tried to stay above you Pull me down The noose is firmly tight around my neck Pull me down Vicious words and phrases Well I mean a lot of compromising Delivered every line you gave me Little things begin the ending Now I don’t know what to do Folding in to one another Folding in to one another Your behavior will always be something that I gave ya You can’t take that away from me With those vicious words and phrases Well I mean a lot of compromising Delivered every line you gave me Little things begin the ending Now I don’t know what to do Folding in to one another Folding in to one another What’s with this game you’ve been playing with me? I have only ever wanted to be Part of something Part of something Part of something So here we are You have the house I’ll take the car We can’t go on pretending This problems be unmending Well I mean a lot of compromising Delivered every line you gave me Little things begin the ending Now I don’t know what to do Folding in to one another Folding in to one another Folding in to one another

Weight Of Expectation 03:20

Lyrics:

All through the long lonely night to make it right Down the old heath and road we go through winter snow And the sky so red all the little things you did All the little things you say Watching them fall with the wave of expectation See all the violent animals Everything falls on deaf ears Life is oh so simple when laid out in a song Here in the place that you belong Play it to the mirror Try to raise a smile Haven’t seen your face around here In a while For you and I this game is more than fun Entertain for the fame has no frame of reference See all the violent animals Everything falls on deaf ears Life is oh so simple when laid out in a song Here in the place that you belong Play it to the mirror Try to raise a smile Haven’t seen your face around here I’ve fallen off the rails again, it’s all I do Wanted to be someone I’ve fallen off the rails again For a while
