Jigsaw 03:10
I wish I hadn't been so slow So I would know What you'd have said If I had asked you If I hadn't been so slow Maybe I wouldn't be alone Tonight If I had been more bold If I hadn't been so cold Maybe you'd have warmed to me If I didn't feel so old If only I could have told you Just how I feel I wish I'd had the courage I wish I'd had the wit To find out if you might think That, you and me, we really fit I wish that you could see All the things that I can see in this world That are true I wish that you could see That I don't know what to be Without you If I had been more caring A little less overbearing Maybe I'd have stood a chance But as it currently stands It seems that our hands Will never more be joined I wish I'd had the courage I wish I'd had the wit To find out if you might think That, you and me, we really fit 'Cause this jigsaw's got no guide So I don't know what it's meant to look like So I'll just guess Together we can sort the mess I wish I hadn't been so slow So I would know What you'd have said If I had asked you If I hadn't been so slow Maybe I wouldn't be alone Tonight

Locksmith 03:32
The madness ends here And so do I You broke into my heart tonight And I don't know why Maybe the wine But now your smile lives in my eyes You could've fixed the lock You could've said goodbye And you look lovely It's in the skies The stars so jealous of your eyes Tell me you love me As we dance around the room Please tell me I will see you soon You could've fixed the lock You could've given me the key You could've opened up your eyes Please tell me what you really see And I would call you If you had the time To meet me on the bridge tonight So many colours Float along the stream Please tell me this not a dream You could've fixed the lock You could've given me the key You could've opened up your eyes Please tell me what you really see It's been a long night And I am tired Now my soul has been revived And I don't know why Maybe the wine I think I'll sleep alright tonight

Inhale a headache when you leave the house With no reason to blame Wake up in the morning Feeling worse than you did last night And maybe there's a lack of alcohol Maybe your bloodstream's the reason that you fall Frozen lakes and broken roads take you home Think of me as you sit alone Dream of sunshine and holidays As you walk home in the rain Rethink your life as you sit back in your chair And maybe there's a lack of phone calls Maybe the smoke is the reason that you fall Frozen lakes and broken roads take you home Think of me as you sit alone Alone Alone Alone

This Way Up 04:42
You shine too bright for human eyes I don't know if you realise The stars were formed only to Be compared to your eyes To your eyes Open up your arms to me And I will jump in willingly Open up yourself to me And I will give you the key You the key But I'm feeling fragile So keep my heart This way up This way up All I see is cloudy skies All I bleed is a red dye These crocodile tears I cry Don't mean I can live a lie Live a lie But I'm feeling fragile So keep my heart This way up Your smile, it's turning me upside down So keep my heart This way up

The lengths I would go to Just to avoid you tonight But I can't face this on my own I'm lost in a dream world Lost in a daze, dreaming of life In my head I know who I am Let me see through the world Let me see through it all And I'm sorry for the vanishing act Times that I just disappear And I'm sorry that I just couldn't come back Face those things that I fear Sometimes it feels like Everything I need is just behind But I can't reach out and touch Let me see through the world Let me see through it all And I'm sorry for the vanishing act Times that I just disappear And I'm sorry that I just couldn't come back Face those things that I fear Change your mind I can't change mine Change your mind And I'll wait And I'm sorry for the vanishing act Times that I just disappear And I'm sorry that I just couldn't come back Face those things that I fear And I'm sorry for the vanishing act Times that I just disappear And I'm sorry that I just couldn't come back Face those things that I fear

Always You 03:48
I'm sending this message To make me have to tell you 'Cause now you know There's something to tell Believe me When I tell you I need you You're the only thing I see When I turn out the lights Believe what you want It's up to you But believe it or not It was always you You can doubt it if you like But it won't make it any less true It's always you This time I mean it I can't speak I'm speechless In awe of your beauty and style Believe what you want It's up to you But believe it or not It was always you You can doubt it if you like But it won't make it any less true It's always you Something in the touch of your lips Shook me to my very core I can't help but hope we don't miss The chance to be so much more
7.
Maybe 03:45
Maybe I should feel guilty For some of the things I've done But there's no way I will About this one Maybe I should feel helpless Maybe I shouldn't run But deep down I'm a coward I'm a worthless son And I can't help the way that I feel So please don't make it a big deal I will ignore every urge in my head And not analyse every word that you've said 'Cause this time it's over This time, it's done My heart is over Something has begun Maybe you will come back But only my dreams In theory I'm happy for you In theory, happy for him But every bone in my body Is aching just for you And I can't stop this yearning That's tearing me in two 'Cause this time it's over This time, it's done My heart is over Something has begun Maybe I should shut up 'Cause your probably sick of me And every word that I say You don't listen, you just hear You were the voice in my head for so long But now it's back to way it belongs I will talk to myself instead At least, that way, it's all in my head 'Cause this time it's over This time, it's done My heart is over Something has begun

Seven Years 02:57
Wash your face, boy Lord knows it's been a while Seven years Since you looked in the mirror Bad luck, bad luck Seven years Since you jumped in the river And now you haven't got the time Watch your mouth, boy Lord knows it's been a while Seven years Since the world really mattered Quiet, quiet Seven years Since you felt important And now you haven't got the time Seven years Seven years And now you haven't got the time

Does the sun know that it's shining When it hasn't rained for weeks? Forty nights under blue skies And water is all that we seek And the sky starts to crumble And crash to the ground by our feet When we think that we're ready for thunder We'll find that we're all just too weak The devil in me is caught between The sand dunes and the sea There's a devil in me I can't defeat But the sun still shines on Do the pretty ones know they are pretty? Or wait for approval to pass? And dance around in the darkness On floors made of beer and glass And the universe starts crumble And turn inside out at our feet When we think that we're ready for thunder We'll find that we're all just too weak The devil in me is caught between The sand dunes and the sea There's a devil in me I can't defeat But the sun still shines on The devil in me is caught between The sand dunes and the sea There's a devil in me I can't defeat But the sun still shines on The sun still shines on The sun still shines on The sun still shines on

You'll find me by the river You'll find me by the banks You'll find me asking questions Begging for answers From myself You'll find me by the river You'll find me by the banks You'll find me throwing my line in Fishing for compliments From anyone else You'll find me by the river You'll find me by the banks You'll find me searching the riverbed For all of those things that you said To no one else Forget about those other losers I'm the only loser you need Forget about those other losers I'm the only loser you need You'll find me by the river You'll find me by the banks You'll find me trying to find you To tell you I need you And no one else

A brand new day Started so well Tea and toast No headache from Hell Just perfect bliss A shining sun A perfect kiss From that special one A brand new day What should I wear My heart on my sleeve I've something to share And I want to tell you How you look in that dress As I open my mouth I'm left speechless Everything Could well be Alright A brand new day No bills in the post A day off work Needed the most Together in the morning Together all day Why didn't you tell me Things could be this way Everything Could well be Alright A brand new day I gave you a gift I found for you Just because you exist You give me so much That I gave something back You are everything that I used to lack Everything Could well be Alright Everything Could well be Everything Could well be Everything Could well be Everything Could well be Alright
