A Lovers Tale
03:47
|
|||
Is our life to be some kind of tragedy or play
Showing the way with something to say for others
Or was it meant to be made so commercially for sale
Set not to fail, some box office tale for lovers
Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
And now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
And if I’m found to be too much emotionally involved
To find the resolve to hold on to all my senses
And if I purposely hide how it feels to see me cry
The tears never dry when feelings are just pretences
Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
And now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
And if the song remained unclear
Would your eye still find a tear of understanding
These words of love so frail
Were once a lovers tale so young and strong
And if the song remained unclear
Would your eye still find a tear of understanding
These words of love so frail
Were once a lovers tale so young and strong
Is our life to be some kind of tragedy or play
Showing the way, with something to say for others
And was it meant to be made so commercially for sale
Set not to fail, some box office tale for lovers
Cos now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
Yeah now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too
Now I’m close to you

All These Things
03:13
|
|||
Somethings you come to late in life
And there are things you leave behind
All these things mean something
All these things mean something
The things you keep the things you lose
All these things are part of you
Somethings you always keep inside
And other things just pass you by
But all these things mean something
All these things mean something
The things you keep the things you lose
All these things are part of you
So let yourself be liberated from what you created in your past
What is gone is over so brush it off your shoulder
Your time is moving grab it fast
Somethings you learn from your mistakes
Like what you give is what you take
All these things mean something
All these things mean something
The things you keep the things you lose
All these things are part of you
Somethings are worth the wait
Like love and hope and faith
All these things mean something
All these things mean something
The things you keep the things you lose
All these things are part of you
So let yourself be liberated from what you created in your past
What is gone is over so brush it off your shoulder
Your time is moving grab it fast
Somethings you come to late in life
And there are things you leave behind
All these things mean something
All these things mean something
The things you keep the things you lose
All these things are part of you
All these things
All these things
All these things are part of you

Don’t Fear The Night
03:10
|
|||
You don’t need to fear the night
And you don’t need to pray for light
Cos in this darkness
I can see through your eyes now
You don’t need to hide within
And you don’t need to always win
Cos in this darkness
I can see through your eyes now
There’ll be a time when you’ll have to stand alone
There’ll be a time when you will not be so strong
There’ll be a time when you’ll realise that
You don’t need to fear the night
And you don’t need to pray for light
Cos in this darkness
I can see through your eyes now
There’ll be a time when you’ll have to stand alone
There’ll be a time when you will not be so strong
There’ll be a time when you’ll realise that
You don’t need to fear the night
And you don’t need to pray for light
Cos in this darkness
I can see through your eyes now
Cos in this darkness
I can see through your eyes now

Future’s We Plan
03:11
|
|||
Futures we plan
Become the memories of the past
And where we stand so strong now
Will be dust
It’s easy enough to predict the path of a certainty
It’s easy for us to put our trust in immortality
In dreams we have
Escapes that upon waking, pass
The morning skies
Witness the memory of the loss
It’s easy enough, to predict the path of a certainty
It’s easy for us, to put our trust in immortality
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
It’s easy enough, to predict the path of a certainty
It’s easy for us, to put our trust in immortality
Futures we plan
Become the memories of the past
And where we stand so strong now
Will be dust

I Can Tell By Your Eyes
03:05
|
|||
Quiet now your force is spent
You’ve calmed your shaking fears
And you have found your way again
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me
So who do you turn to
When the ones you wanted most
Just fade away from view
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me
Sweet thoughts fading as the night grows chill
Shadows are rising
As the movement keeps you still
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving
I can tell by your eyes
I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me

Look Up To The Sky
03:13
|
|||
I’ve been staring at the ground too long
I’ve been dragging my feet
I’ve been looking too hard to see where I’ve been
I’ve been wishing my life away
I’ve been wasting my time
I’ve been waiting so long I missed everything
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
I’ve been scratching the earth away
I’ve been digging beneath
I’ve been searching to find what I’ve always seen
I’ve been swimming the darkest sea
I’ve been lost in the deep
I’ve been looking too hard to see anything
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
So don’t wish your life away
Don’t waste your time
Start looking to hold onto what you find
Why don’t you raise your head
Set yourself free
Look up from the ground and you’ll see
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky
Look up, look up to the sky

Kate
03:36
|
|||
Mystified by something she cried
Screaming like the lover in a Wuthering Heights
Was the scream on the plastic
Or the cry from your heart
In the eyes, a growing confusion
Looking to her youth to find a final solution
To the conflict she draws on
For her heart to grow stronger in her song
So let them cry for you
Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody
Being the last in love
Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose
James, she cried, out of the album
Get yourself a gun or be shot with your back turned
The only heart that was broken
By the tune she played out loud
Of your age you are the oldest
Christ you know when it’s hard to control it
Friends fall like flies
From the wall you built to hide yourself away
So let them cry for you
Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody
Being the last in love
Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose
So let them cry for you
Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody
Being the last in love
Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose
James, she cried, out of the album
Get yourself a gun or be shot with your back turned
The only heart that was broken
By the tune she played out loud
Of your age you are the oldest
Christ you know when it’s hard to control it
Friends fall like flies
Off the wall you built to hide yourself away
So let them cry for you
Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody
Being the last in love
Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose

Open Your Eyes
03:22
|
|||
When you look out your window what do you see
Does the sun shine brightly is the grass always green
When you step out of your door onto the street
Where will this journey take your feet
You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go
Until you hit the highway, let the river flow
You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be
Until you open your eyes until you learn to see
What you need to see
When you look out your window what do you see
Is the world the kind of place you want it to be
When you step out of your door onto the street
What kind of people will you meet
You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go
Until you hit the highway, let the river flow
You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be
Until you open your eyes until you learn to see
What you need to see
Ask yourself a question
Do you do enough
Each life should be a lesson
In learning how to love
You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go
Until you hit the highway, let the river flow
You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be
Until you open your eyes until you learn to see
You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go
Until you hit the highway, let the river flow
You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be
Until you open your eyes until you learn to see

Shot Of Guilt
03:42
|
|||
I’m drawing on now and the nights grow dark
I bring the ice and the wind and the rain
I’m coming back to break your heart
I’ll make you wish it was summer again
I am the night that comes in winter
I make the rain on a summer’s day
I make you fall in love in springtime
And then in winter I take it away
Remember in the summer your happiness overflowed
Walking in the woodland and bubbling down the road
Remember how you laughed and how you sang
Carefree and lightly you went stepping down the sand
And then you felt it, that shot of guilt
Taking knocks at your heart
And then you felt it, that shot of guilt and ask yourself
Why did you fall in love, why did you fall in love
Why did you fall in love again
Remember how you laughed and you joked about it all
Do you remember saying that your love would never ever die
But you never really reckoned on this
And now you sit at home and again you cry
And then you felt it, that shot of guilt
Taking knocks at your heart
And then you felt it, that shot of guilt and ask yourself
Why did you fall in love, why did you fall in love
Why did you fall in love again

Sweet Lies
03:16
|
|||
Sweet lies and arrogant smiles
Tell me all I need to know
About the things that you won’t show to me
Now I’ve guessed the true intention
Of what you planned to do
Inside, where something had died
A burning hope replaced the void
An emptiness she only showed to me
Now I’d tainted her illusion
Of what she thought she knew
But remember
The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream
May not take what you’ve got
To be revealed
Tears cried from innocent eyes
Had me fooled before I knew
There is so much more for you than me
Now you've touched your true ambition
And nothing else will do
But remember
The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream
May not take what you’ve got
To be revealed
But remember
The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream
May not take what you’ve got
To be revealed
Sweet lies and arrogant smiles
Tell me all I need to know
About the things that you won’t show to me
Now I’ve guessed the true intention
Of what you planned to do

You vs Me
03:20
|
|||
You’re quite the one
For putting me on the spot dear
But don’t you realise what you’ve got here
Is something more than you can understand
You’re quite naive
To ever leave yourself so open
When everything around you’s broken
More than you will ever quite believe
And so now it seems
That you vs me
Is just part of the scene we’ve become
And every mistake
Is harder to shake
But anyway, I’d rather make them alone
So learn to move on
You’re not alone
I haven’t gone, I’m still around here
But that really isn’t so profound dear
I didn’t stay because I wanted you
You’re so sincere
To say that what you fear the most is
To have me leave you when the joke is
You already left me years ago
And so now it seems
That you vs me
Is just part of the scene we’ve become
And every mistake
Is harder to shake
But anyway, I’d rather make them alone
So learn to move on

Crossed That Line
03:38
|
|||
I’m not gonna be the one
To help you back when you have gone
You know where the door is get your coat
And I’m not gonna be the one
To ask you where it all went wrong
Words of truth just get stuck in your throat
And I’m not gonna waste my time arguing about who’s right
I don’t care who you think’s gotta pay
I’m sick of listening to it all, I’ve seen the writing on your wall
Time is up I’m calling it a day
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line
I don’t care for things you say
It makes no difference anyway
You would never say it to my face
You go to leave but always stay
And live to fight another day
Well you know I don’t have this time to waste
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line
Well I’m not gonna be the one
To come back crawling when it’s done
You know I got better things to do
So shoot your mouth off load that gun
Take your best shot now I’m gone
Nothing really matters now we’re through
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line
