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

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
|

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

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

Wing Mirror

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
|
|||
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
|

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
|
|||
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
