Some time ago
this house was our friend
through highs and lows
these walls, they learned to bend
As we went the way of the years
and then you were gone
So come back to me
when you can be
someone you aren’t right now
I’ll wait and see
forgivingly
for you to find your way somehow
I mark the days a hostage to the sun
wondering ways and what I could’ve done
As we went the way of the years
and then you were gone
So come back to me
when you can be
someone you aren’t right now
I’ll wait and see
forgivingly
for you to find your way somehow

You know it’s been a while since anything
really meant that much to you
love cracked a smile and swallowed everything
you ever thought you really knew
This is your time for now so don’t look down
from love comes everything you need
in just a little while you’ll touch the ground
but know what it means to be free
You don’t go round expecting miracles
you didn’t dream that much before
but now you’ve come to be less cynical
you left your armor at the door
This is your time for now so don’t look down
from love comes everything you need
in just a little while you’ll touch the ground
but know what it means to be free

What I Can Find Today
03:53
|

|
I can’t say
things won’t break
or not fade, fade away
But I’ll take time to lean on
what I can find today
Sometimes I’m blind
and might lose my way
in something kind
kind of like pain
But I’ll take time to lean on
what I can find today

Tomorrow Never Fades
03:08

Getting kinda late
so I’ll give it to you straight
now that I’m awake
not running in one place
a place I thought would change
my soul is sorta frayed
my mind is almost made up
of what it takes
to make the final break
cos breaking sometimes saves
Cos full hearts never crave
swing, but don’t get swayed
are pure, but don’t get played
and beat as if tomorrow never fades
are free despite the maze
can see beyond the haze
and beat as if tomorrow never fades
Tried but couldn’t fake
went tripping over grace
pretend to like the taste
shed another face
to find that face that stays
Cos full hearts never crave
swing, but don’t get swayed
are pure, but don’t get played
and beat as if tomorrow never fades
are free despite the maze
can see beyond the haze
and beat as if tomorrow never fades

Took a little while to sort
what has passed
to see what has remained
and what didn’t last
maybe we shouldn’t bother to ask
to find a way to what we need most
Don’t tell me it’s too late to turn this around
I gotta think that there’s some way somehow
cos all the time we’ve lost has led us to now
Don’t tell me it’s too late to turn this around
Can’t go on living on the outside
the air is thin
and somehow thick with disguise
can’t quite remember
when we saw through these eyes
a way to find what we needed most
Don’t tell me it’s too late to turn this around
I gotta think that there’s some way somehow
cos all the time we’ve lost has led us to now
Don’t tell me it’s too late to turn this around

Stratosphere
04:02

Feels like you’re waiting 10,000 years
but your scars won’t start fading
if you dress them in fear
But I know it’s not easy
and it’s never been clear
when what’s inside you
will reappear
it might not be waiting
in your stratosphere
but I’ll keep on looking cos I’m here
You’re stuck in the same place
self-portrait in blue
with the same old expression
it’s time you outgrew
But I know it’s not easy
and it’s never been clear
when what’s inside you
will reappear
it might not be waiting
in your stratosphere
but I’ll keep on looking cos I’m here

A Little Time
03:50
|

|
I need to breathe
if that’s allowed
you said to me
as you walked out
Maybe things haven’t gone as planned
but we’ve got a little time
I heard you freed
you freed your doubt
and now believe
your heart is sound
Maybe things haven’t gone as planned
but we’ve got a little time
Get yourself back before you come down
to those places where you kept me out
Now that we’ve
come back round
to what we need
the love we’ve found
Maybe things haven’t gone as planned
but we’ve got a little time

Clear As A Bell
04:11

You just can’t take this anymore
you played the game for so long
but never caught the score
but all you know right now is what’s ahead
can’t be like your before
Can’t go back and can’t stay here
it took some time but now it’s clear as a bell
You just can’t fake this anymore
your lights are on
but you can’t make it to the door
the time has come for all that’s left of you
to live by what you swore
Can’t go back and can’t stay here
it took some time but now it’s clear as a bell

Down To You Now
03:33
|

|
I think I finally understand
what really matters
but had to shatter
had to come undone
some things don’t always grow as planned
and so I withered
but since the trigger
I’ve been on the run
And I can’t make my way back down to you now
from here it looks I’m not needed
I played the part almost too well
as if I meant it
the way I said it
had the ring of truth
And I can’t make my way back down to you now
from here it looks I’m not needed
it took some years, but finally figured it out
this place is better when I leave it
I thought you promised that a glass heart couldn’t break
as long as it beats like it means it
but when I had to hit the ground you wouldn’t take
the only parts of me worth keeping
And I can’t make my way back down to you now
from here it looks I’m not needed
it took some years, but finally figured it out
this place is better when I leave it

Anything On You
04:14
|

|
I know it feel like
it’s slipped away
whatever you leave
will be back one day
And this won’t have anything on you
and all that you hadn’t been you’ll outdo
The more that you breathe
the less that you‘ll stay
where it might seem
there’s no more to say
And this won’t have anything on you
and all that you hadn’t been you’ll outdo
Sometimes the only thing that you want
has to come round again but not like you thought
And this won’t have anything on you
and all that you hadn’t been you’ll outdo

Hole New World
04:11
|

|
The light goes out, the shadow’s born
you start to spin, your edges torn
how do you fill the space before
the memories can keep you warm
It’s ok to break if you just don’t think you’ll make it
cos I’ll be here to fill your hole new world
it’s ok to break if you just can’t seem to shake it
cos I’ll be here to fill your hole new world
Had time to kill, you felt so sure
that life was long, simple, and pure
suddenly they are no more
drew the curtain, closed the door
It’s ok to break if you just don’t think you’ll make it
cos I’ll be here to fill your hole new world
it’s ok to break if you just can’t seem to shake it
cos I’ll be here to fill your hole new world

Constantine

Not really sure where to start
are the words you used to break apart
you found our fault lines in the dark
you knew all too well where to start
Constantine can’t you see
what you’ve done, done now to me
Constantine can’t you see
there’s not much left here of me
Don’t know where to begin
is the line you used once you couldn’t win
anymore of your games and all your spin
I think you knew where you’d begin
Constantine can’t you see
what you’ve done, done now to me
Constantine can’t you see
there’s not much left here of me
I gave you more when you took everything that I had to give
and now you tell me that I haven’t been all that much to you
Constantine can’t you see
what you’ve done, done now to me
Constantine can’t you see
there’s not much left here of me
