Momentarily 04:23
lyrics

Life it seems has given me one of these Forks in the road, while carrying all the load I've never felt such joy and happiness Such pain sadness simultaneously I'm really just soppy romantic and lame I'll sing you a song with no commercial gain Momentarily I was under the Impression that you May have wanted me To dance you down the aisle To always make you smile Devote my life And give you your own child A belly ache and a pain in the neck And the contents of my head are as heavy as lead System error! Oops! We cannot process your request Have you tried turning yourself off and on again at the wall? It's beginning to look, or at least so it would seem Like the cure for a broken heart exists only on the silver screen Momentarily I was under the Impression that you May have wanted me To take to you the stars To love you as you are To be your macho man And fix your car Fill me to the brim Strike me on the chin Make me suffer Do it on a whim Momentarily I was under the Impression that you May have wanted me

Take My Hand 04:17
lyrics

Well it took all day but now we're here Let's park up while we watch the sky The orange and reds reflect in your eyes One day darling we will have no fear Don't you worry cause I'm always just Snuggled up inside of your subconscious Let's find a spot to lay our heads We'll get up tomorrow and listen to the birds sing Oh. Oh yeah Invisible forces pull you away Pull your beauty beyond my reach Come back darling and this time stay I need your love like the night needs day The nights are stoned and the morning's tired So lets go down to the woods tonight Where you told me you loved me like I already knew I said, 'I didn't.' But I love you too Oh. Oh yeah Take my hand baby Take my hand Hold on tight cos' it won't be long Don't be scared baby Don't be scared You know I'd never do you wrong We dream all night of life honest and free We talk all day of the world should be I spoke to healer about how I feel Went fifteen rounds with my ego ideal When you're with me, you're learning fast That you're not in the future, you're not in the past Don't you cry Don't be sad Let's make the most of the time we have Forget about him Forget about "why." Remember we're both up at 5am Oh. Oh Yeah Take my hand baby Take my hand Hold on tight cos' it won't be long Don't be scared baby Don't be scared You know I'd never do you wrong Take my hand baby Take my hand Hold on tight cos' it won't be long Don't be scared baby Don't be scared You know I'd never do you wrong

Crawling 03:33
lyrics

What is it they say? There is dark within the day? There is sunshine in the night So, don't think in black and white Your chaos must be organised And even if its ill-advised I'd come crawling Crawling Crawling back to you I'd come crawling Crawling Crawling back to you Listen closely you can hear The loudest point within the hush Meanders deathly in my ear Before the tears begin to rush Now that I'm barely on her mind But she will always be on mine I'd come crawling Crawling Crawling back to you I'd come crawling Crawling Crawling back to you Please pull me out of this hole in time To weak are my arms to cast out a line Time after time I'd crawl to you Please pull me out of this hole in time To weak are my arms to cast out a line Time after time I'd crawl to you

Honeybee 03:10
lyrics

I can't seem to think straight when Your emerald eyes gaze at me A best-case scenario Exists when you lay next to me So dance, dance, dance Dance, dance, dance with me Dance with me my little honeybee Sadness will not exist When your laughter is surrounding me Your killing croon will sooth my soul When the world outside is hurting me So, lay right down Lay right down with me Lay right down and make love with me Dance, dance, dance with me Dance with me my little honeybee

Drive away from sunset Watch it dim in my wing mirror Drive into the dark of the dawn As I drive, my labyrinth lady Shrinks in my wing mirror Drive into the dark of the dawn

Lonesome Nights 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Like a cigarette rolled Too loose to be smoked You can tell from the croak in my voice I won't hold it all in Just a stained glass half-full Of Malbec and you Are starting to see what, all along I had feared That I'm phoning it in That I'm drowning in sin The tears in these eyes Are occupying my Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Since you bowed out, I'm a ghost Attempting to make the most Of an empty cold room where the walls talk behind my back In the early morning dark I look for a place to park A rusty old bike that carries the weight of worries previously shared Between me and you I wash it were not true But the valve that releases my pain can't be found in my Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights Lonesome Nights

They're Only Thoughts 04:40
lyrics
buy track
I'm scanning the back page But the answers that it gave Have taken all the sense Of achievement from What used to come to me Completely naturally Wrapped in quilts to save on electricity Oh, my sweetheart You're worried that we'll all Disconnect and fall Oh, my sweetheart Let the anger go It's ok to go slow And always try hard to remember There is still so much left to learn And so much to laugh about Just take time to figure it out I'm trying to stay sane But something in this brain Is yearning for your smile To fly five thousand miles Take these words of mine Revisit them in time And whatever holds you down You'll soon be off the ground Oh, my sweetheart The anger that we hold Is a white hot lump of coal Oh, my sweetheart Get burned or let it go And just enjoy the show And always try hard to remember There is still so much left to learn And so much to laugh about Just take time to figure it out Oh, please believe me darling I know that we can often tie Ourselves up in knots But they're only thoughts

Sweetness 05:51
lyrics
buy track
I'd like to instil in you all that I feel But I don't know how I'd like to convene with you regularly But I don't know how We used to lay side-by-side. Not anymore And I don't know why There was a day where you had me for life But not anymore And I don't know why Look into my future and she is my past It hurts to say My body collapsed under thousands of sighs I sometimes cry With each passing day she is further away Don't make me say In sleepless nights, she's ever-present no matter how Hard I try Oh, I try And I sometimes cry My cruel and insipid adventure has almost Run its course and I can Breathe again And today, its aright cos I know what You would say You would say that I am the best person that You have ever met And then we'd both laugh And smile For right now, I have the birds and trees and The flowing stream I have joy. I have meaning and sweetness I Need to let you know I want you know I'm good In Sleepless nights she's ever-present In Sleepless nights she's ever-present Ah-ah In Sleepless nights she's ever-present Ah-ah In Sleepless nights she's ever-present Ah-ah. Ah In Sleepless nights she's ever-present Ah-ah. Ah In Sleepless nights she's ever-present Ah-ah. Ah

about

Slow Burn takes a crafted and measured approach to the heartbreak record. Subtly complex and delicate melodies provide an elegantly dulcet backdrop to the sombre and mournful honesty within its songs.
