Текст песни:

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 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 become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I′ll do anything you ask...this time

Текст песни:

You cool your bedwarm hands down
On the broken radiator

When you lay them freezing on me
I mumble can you wake me later

But I don′t really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn′t stop you

You run your hands from my neck
To my chest

Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays
Tangle around your face and body

I could sit here for hours
Finding new ways to be awed each minute

′Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

Its been minutes Its been days,
I remember all I will remember

Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers

And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again

Текст песни:

A little after twelve
The function suite was full
Of people I had never seen before

Ripped up ticket stubs
Confettied on the floor
It dawned on me I′d seen it all before

Cool your beans my son
You look a fucking mess
No ones getting out of here tonight

Hit that button there
The one that just says wrong
We′ll lose our minds to all our favourite songs

Throw forward to later
you look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat

I′m like a prisoner
getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
and the threat in your walk

And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face

It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

A little after four
The function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub

But heres a helping hand
A voice that′s far to close
And I am up and on my broken limbs

Throw forward to later
you look light on your feet
When you whirled in the room
I was nailed to my seat

I′m like a prisoner
getting ready to talk
I feel the blood in my hands
and the threat in your walk

And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face

It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

And suddenly
it lifts the roof off the place
It puts a vault in my step
And a grin on my face

It can′t contain me
but you′ll need an army
To get me back in my box
Or snap the branches off me

Текст песни:

Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
So fire your engine see if I give a damn we′ll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use as rocket fuel I′ll be air I′ll be fire

You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past the now the coming years

What will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you′ll squeeze between shoeless feet

I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said

I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now the coming years

Текст песни:

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 til 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 and stop raising your voice
It′s hardly what I′d be doing if you gave me the choice
It′s a simple suggestion, won′t you give me some time?
So just say yes or no, why can′t you shoulder the blame?
Cuz 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
Baby, let me explain something, it′s all down to drugs.
At least I remember taking them and not alot else.
It′s seems I′ve stepped over lines you′ve drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy′s in, the rest is definately out
Doctor Jeckyll is wresting Hyde, for my pride.

Текст песни:

Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside

And I knew the beat since it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and distant car horns

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it′s the only thing I can remember
I break you don′t, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat ′cause it matched your own beat
It′s become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave.

Текст песни:

I want something
That′s purer than the water
Like we were

It′s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have

Like Saturn′s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold

Lash out first
At all the things we don′t like
Or understand

And it′s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what′s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They′re always fighting with aching joints
It′s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight′s about

The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time

I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on

And it′s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what′s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They′re always fighting with aching joints
It′s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight′s about

It′s so thrilling but also wrong
Don′t have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I′m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I′ve lost

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I′m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I′ve lost

Текст песни:

I′m running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won′t be ok and I won′t pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

It′s so simple and you know it is
You know it is, yeah
We can′t be to and fro like this
All our lives
You′re the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear

Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz I′m aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want

Just say yes, just say there′s nothing holding you back
It′s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz I′m aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

Текст песни:

Hold on, hold on, let me get the words out before I burst
There′s no truth at all, poking at the giant eyes of ancient gods
Cool hats have failed, now it′s time for me to have my turn
Kiss me, kiss me, life is far too short to scream and shout

Flashed up in my wildest dreams, like red blood streams, stretch up like vast skies
The veins of you, the veins of me, like gold forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
And when I wake you′re there I′m saved
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on its own

Sing out sing out the silence only eats us from the inside up
I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late
Wake up wake up dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares
Snap out of it you said it in a wy that showed you really cared.
