Listen closely
The Words on the wind
The birds are singing again
The wind is blowing your hair in your face
The sun is shining again
The world is telling you something
‘Cause baby you got it right
The world is telling you something
‘Cause baby you got all of it right
Look inside you
I know you feel it too
The birds are singing again
The wind is blowing your hair in your face
It’s a new day to relive again
The world is telling you something
‘Cause baby you got it right
The world is telling you something
‘Cause baby you got all of it right

I pictured only half a life
A life so shattered now
What I said
What I choose
What am I prepared to lose
Why does it feel so wrong to lead
A life of wasted youth
What I said
What I choose
What am I prepared to lose
Moment of truth
My electric chair
Moment of truth
My electric chair my
Moment of truth
My electric chair
Moment of truth
My electric chair my
I’ll let you down
If you let me
I’ll watch you drown
To save myself
And everyone
Without you
I’ll watch you drown
To save myself
I’ll let you down
If you let me
I’ll watch you drown
To save myself
From everything
About you
I’ll watch you drown
To save myself

Hard to Let You Go

You were so tired when I was in your life
I was scared to be alone
And everything fucks up something I love
In every house a happy home
Hard to let you go
There was a time no life was simple and
They wanted you to stoop so low
And Every day was such a stupid life
When you’re trapped inside your home
Hard to let you go

Liquid sky
You are beholden
You walk the line
Swim in slowly
Don’t chase the tide
You cannot hurry
Your ego lies
You need not worry
You are the one
Now think about the things that you have done
Step inside
You’re going nowhere
You walk the line
Swim in slowly
Don’t chase the tide
You cannot hurry
Your ego lies
You need not worry
You are the one
Now think about the things that you have done

The Fool

I remember the day I found you
Time just slowed
And everything around you that you touched turned gold
Had to have you
Just to know you
I could walk til the end of time, love
Just to hear your voice
I would run in circles just to be the boy
I’ve got to have you
Just to know you
Should I stay or go?
I will regain control
It takes patience, always waiting
Now it’s wearing thin
Everyone around you thinks I’m just a kid
I’d love to have you
Just to know you
I could walk til the end of time, love
To hear your voice
I would run in circles just to be the boy
Should I stay or go?
I will regain control

Tell You

No-one wants to be more
I do not think
I do not think
I do
All these things I
Need to tell you
I don’t know how
To tell you
This is my life
All these things I
Need to tell you
I don’t know how
To tell you
This is my life
All these things I
Need to tell you
I don’t know how
To tell you

Every Day

Every day is a new chance to forget
All the fucked up things you did and said
Fear in place of your ego death, regret
Every face is a nameless place she said
You said it once but, I can’t remember
You told me once she said, back in December
It’s Life on the edge you gotta pay your tithe
When you’re walking the line it’s this or suicide
Fear in place of your ego death, regret
Every face is a nameless place she said
You said it once but, I can’t remember
You told me once she said, back in December

Julia, when I look in your eyes
I know a love like this could last the rest of my life
I’m not a jaded one, but I’ve got to try
I know a love like this will come just once in my life
I’ve got tell you what’s in my heart
I know a love like this could tear me apart
I’m not a jaded one, but I’ve got to try
I know a love like this will come just once in my life

Turn away
We were laughing
Don’t say it Was nothing
Oh my love
We were having good times
We were happy
But I’ll tell you what you want to hear
If it makes you feel alright
This is not love
This is wrong
We were laughing
Don’t say it Was nothing
Oh my love
We were having good times
We were happy
But I’ll tell you what you want to hear
If it makes you feel alright
This is not love
This is wrong
