I want to know
where you're hiding
outside my sky
you've been flying
I think you'll find a change in me
now I'm the one I couldn't be
you go your way
in your new world
as you recede
from my wrong turns
I think you'll find a change in me
now I'm the one I couldn't be
we could've been so much more in the end
I think you'll find a change in me
now I'm the one I couldn't be

Tell Me Your Name Again
03:54
|
|||
|
I was out hunting for you
fully aware of none of the implications
in your debonair ways in the conversation
you pretended to care
in all of things I mentioned
in all that I shared
I'll tell you my name again
you won't forget, you swear?
for all of the game I'm bringing
I thought you'd play fair
I guess it made no difference
when I laid it bare
you'll be where I am one day
and I'll be gone from there
between the two of us
I thought we'd take the dare
the promises on the bridge
held up by our stares
I guess I misread your light
in the dimming affair
I thought I'd found something right
you were sending up flares
I'll tell you my name again
you won't forget, you swear?
for all of the game I'm bringing
I thought you'd play fair
I guess it made no difference
when I laid it bare
you'll be where I am one day
and I'll be gone from there

That Beautiful Away
04:26
|
|||
|
so far away
not here and now today
trying to make
sense of a love astray
don't want to pray
to make things go our way
don't want to say
a word that could persuade
If you just stay
that beautiful away
won't have to make
the same perfect mistake
if you just stay
that beautiful away
won't have to take
the chance of more heartbreak
I thought I knew better than to fall into
something unreal that I'm trying not to feel
but all the same if I had one dream come true
I'd dream to be with you

Our Time
05:26
|
|||
|
everybody's talking
everybody's got it figured out
I'll just go on walking
I'll just going walking upside down
everybody's moving
everybody's humming right along
I'll just keep on doing
I'll just keep on doing what's gone wrong
I don't know what to believe in any more
I don't know what to mistake as real for sure
but as life goes by and the seasons close their doors
all I know to be true is our time is so short
everybody's hawking
everybody's showing off their wares
I'll just go on balking
I'll just go on balking at the stairs
I don't know what to believe in any more
I don't know what to mistake as real for sure
but as life goes by and the seasons close their doors
all I know to be true is our time is so short

Because You
03:46
|
|||
|
you are a form of pain in me
along with all that had to be
everything I just couldn't free
everything you just couldn't see
because you
because you
because you wouldn't let yourself
you starred in your soliloquy
but you can't tell me what it means
maybe cos you aren't what you seem
maybe cos you're afraid to dream
because you
because you
because you wouldn't let yourself
have me
so when you're finally let down
it won't be on me this time round
because you
because you
because you wouldn't let yourself

Earthquaker
05:49
|
|||
|
you were the one
the real heartbreaker
now that it's done
the real earthquaker
and for so long you thought it would be me
that would do us in
but I'm the one that can't let you go
even though I know you told me so
many times I need to let you go
just know I'm trying to let you go
so go the days
vacant as bones
looking for graves
the grave of our love's home
and for so long you thought it would be me
that would do us in
but I'm the one that can't let you go
even though I know you told me so
many times I need to let you go
but I'm the one who still can't let you go
but I'm the one that can't let you go
even though I know you told me so
many times I need to let you go
but still I'm the one who can't let you go
let you go

If We Only
04:09
|
|||
|
it comes and goes by so fast
so fast then we're through
being something you might live
live more than you do
if we only had the time
we would see all these things through
maybe somewhere down the line
if we don't find something new
if we only had the time
just because you know what you want
won't make it true
and if it does it won't look
much like what you knew
if we only had the time
we would see all these things through
maybe somewhere down the line
if we don't find something new
if we only had the time
I know there's nothing to be done
or I can try
to stop the ride from spinning round
all of our lives
if we only had the time
we would see all these things through
maybe somewhere down the line
if we don't find something new
it's become a state of mind
wishing wells, vanishing views
if we only had the time

Holding Out
04:53
|
|||
|
if I learn to live without
if I learn to live without you near me
who will I have to cure my doubt
who will I have to get me on my feet again
what will I do if you're not mine
what will I do with all my empty evenings
I hate this feeling in my mind
I hate this feeling of my heart beating again
as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you
tell me when I might not feel
tell me when I might not feel your ghost in me
I wish that I could make you real
I wish that I could make you real to me again
as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you
there's so much I had to say
there's so much more I to day but now your gone
I guess it had to end this way
I guess it had to end to make me start again
as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you

When Like a Glass Tide
05:00
|
|||
|
you always wanted me to be what I could never be
but always wrong
I thought that you might tell me honestly what I knew
you knew all along
and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore
so tell me why you couldn't love as much as I did
when we did belong
well never mind at this point I've figured it out
and you're already gone
and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore
I had to give up in the end it was the only way
I never wanted to say when but I just couldn't stay
and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore

Never Understand
04:27
|
|||
|
I'll will never understand you at all
I just couldn't seem to claw through your walls
all that you decided to leave behind
is more that you could dream
of having but you couldn't see
you had it all when you had me
I'll will never understand you at all
I just couldn't seem to claw through your walls
within the changes of your heart
I wandered looking for a spark
a chance to make my final start
before you went and fell apart
I'll will never understand you at all
I just couldn't seem to claw through your walls
I'll will never understand you at all
I just couldn't seem to burn through your walls
I'll will never understand you at all
I just couldn't seem to talk through your walls

A Better Rain
06:47
|
|||
|
here in the dark
and there's no one around
to leave a mark
where all hearts hit the ground
I saw a spark
just before you went down
beautiful arc
that crumbled without a sound
like a better rain
I thought I might
give up cracking the code
secret to life
or what you feel in your bones
like a better rain
coming down
back here again
between meantime and now
waiting or when
the bullets fall from the clouds
like a better rain
coming down

And All of Your Days
04:52
|
|||
|
saying goodbye
seems all wrong to me now
what if this dies
before it's sorted out
the reasons why
we got so turned around
our hearts went blind
from only looking down
looking down
I just want you near me
since I let you stray
I know it's not easy
to explain away
now that you're gone I know
I want you to stay
just a little longer
and all of your days
the things I said
I wish I could erase
I want instead
the truth to take its place
take its place
I just want you near me
since I let you stray
I know it's not easy
to explain away
now that you're gone I know
I want you to stay
just a little longer
and all of your days
god knows I've tried
to find the words to say
your face inside in my head
won't go away
go away
I just want you near me
since I let you stray
I know it's not easy
to explain away
now that you're gone I know
I want you to stay
just a little longer
and all of your days
