I don't know
I don't know
What to do when I'm with you
And it shows
Yea it shows
I must look like such a fool to you
And I hope
That you know
You look so beautiful this morning
I want you
Yes it's true
I want you so bad
And your smile
Yes your smile
Reminds me it's easy
To be kind
To be true
To the people you love
And who love you
And there are things you can do
There are things you can say
And your hair falls perfectly down your face
And your eyes are wild and making me spin
As I take a deep breath and begin to lean in
I wanna kiss you soo bad
But I don't have the strength
So I wrap my arms around you
And hold you instead
I don't know
What to do
When I'm with you
And it's true
I need you
Only you

I don't know you
You don't know me
I like the way you talk wanna get something to eat?
I thought you looked nice
Told me your back isn't straight
I couldn't care less i've got much more on my plate
If you ever wanna see me again
Give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend
I don't know you
You don't know me
If I asked you to the dance would you say no to me
If you ever want to see me again
Give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend
Yea, give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend
Met you for the first time
At my friends photoshoot
He said "you do them all the time"
I could tell he was right when you walked through the door
You're a natural knocked me onto the floor
If you ever wanna see me again
Give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend
Met you for the first time
At my friends photoshoot
He said "you do them all the time"
You thought you were taller than me
Stood side by side
Your hand touched mine
If you ever wanna see me again
Give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend
Give me a call i'll be waiting round the bend

Forced to open my eyes
Can't hide from the sunshine
Two bodies intertwined
Your feet are cold next to mine
And i'm scared i'll wake you if i get up to close the blinds
So I lie in silence and feel our hearts beat in time
To a song that doesn't rhyme
Badadadada
Badadadadadadada
Badadadada
Badadadadadadada
Now as you wake up
I gently touch your sun kissed face
Then you kiss me and ask me "how did you sleep?"
I tell her I slept fine
Then look into her green eyes and fall
As if nothing existed outside of these four walls
Badadadada
Badadadadadadada
Badadadada
Badadadadadadada
Forced to open my eyes
Can't hide from the sunshine

Define You
03:28
|

|
You want it
I have it but you want it more
I gave you a chance to just ignore
But you wanted more
I don't mind it
I can't hide it
I don't won't it
But i can't fight it cause
Some things find you
Others they try to
Use you like a whore
And I will try to
Define you
As soo much more
Cause i don't mind it
I can't hide it
I don't wan't it
But I can't fight it
Find me something
Call me nothing
I'll bleed till it doesn't hurt
Give me nothing
Cause I deserve it
Make me something
So I can break it cause
Some things find you
Others they try to
Use you till they're bored
And I will try to
Define you
As soo much more
Soo much more
Soo much more
Soo much more
Soo much more
I will try to
Define you
As soo much more

Let me be me
03:35

I came to your party
But there were people who didn't like me
I can understand them
My mirror cracks every morning
I broke my bedroom window
So I could feel the wind blow
My neighbours say they hate me
Why can't they just let me be
Let me
Let me be me
I missed the school bus
So I had to walk up the hill
Got in a fight
Sent me home cause I got killed
Now they're calling me names
Won't let me play their stupid games
Just give me a break
I give more Than I take
So why won't you just let me be
Just let me
Be me
I came to your party
But there were people who didn't like me
I can understand them
My mirror cracks every morning
Just let me be
Just let me
Let me be
Me

Bird Song
04:14

Come sit here on my shoulder little one
Let the colour of your skin absorb the sun
We can stay here for a while
But when you're done you can fly away
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Feel you're Scratch marks on my shoulder
As the day starts to grow older
I know that we might not meet again
My friend
So as our time grows shorter
Let us enjoy the company of each other
And the magic of laughter
Cause to soon it will all end
Good things come then fly away
Our troubles leave and then they stay
People are happy but soon to be sad
This way we know good things don't last
Oh why don't good things last
Oh why don't good things last
Come sit here on my shoulder little one
And watch the sunset as the day is done

You're Alive (Interlude)
03:16
|
|||
|
Take the time to ease my mind
Hoping for life in your eyes
Keep running from your pain
The shadow of the moon will find you again
The mirror fades
You lost ur way
So it seems your here again
Falling deep
You take your time
To change your mind
You're alive
You're alive
You're alive
You're alive
Time on my hands
So it goes
In Amsterdam
Take me home
I want to be alone
Take home

Let's take a walk
02:40
|
|||
|
Lets take a walk
Just you and me
Walk away from all our broken dreams
Lets take a walk
Down unfamiliar streets
Find a place that doesn't bring back bad memories
And I know we'll find it I know we can
We'll find ourselves a better land
And throw away what could've been
A life lived under shady trees
We'll Break on through
And then you'll see
The sunshine waiting for you and me
Oh baby
Lets take a walk
Just you and me
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk
See all there is to see
And forget about
All our strange anxiety
Let's take a walk
Just you and me
And watch the sunset over all we used to be
And I know we'll find it I know we can
We'll find ourselves a better land
And throw away what could've been
A life lived under shady trees
We'll Break on through
And then you'll see
The sunshine waiting for you and me
Oh baby
Lets take a walk
Just you and me
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk
Just you and me
And watch the sunset over all we used to be
Lets take a walk
I know its getting late
But there's still one thing that I must say
When I feel down
You know what I do
Take a walk and think of you
I think of you

Somehow
04:10

Here in my bed I talk to the dead
Hoping one day they'll get out of my room and my head
Till then I wait for sleep to overtake
Though my bones still ache and I feel awake
I wait for you and I weep all the promises I couldn't keep
And the memories of sandy feet
Warm bodies falling into the deepest sleep
And I wait for you and I weep all the time we couldn't keep
And the things she's seen stay with her play in her head on repeat
She sings about everything
Like the colour of her dress and the world what a mess
And she doesn't know about the things she's been told
But she doesn't care cause she'll figure it out somehow
Figure it out somehow
Somehow
She'll figure it out somehow
Somehow
Here in my bed I sit and obsess
Over someone I knew
Someone better than you
And somehow I know I haven't met her yet
But I know when I do she'll split me in two
I wait for you and I weep all the promises I couldn't keep
And the memories of sandy feet
Warm bodies falling into the deepest sleep
And I wait for you and I weep all the time we couldn't keep
And the things she's seen stay with her play in her head on repeat
She sings about everything
Like the colour of her dress and the world what a mess
And she doesn't know about the things she's been told
But she doesn't care cause she'll figure it out somehow
Figure it out somehow
Somehow
She'll figure it out somehow
Somehow

Teenage Blues
03:30
|
|||
|
There's a storm coming it's been brewing since you were born
There's a storm coming you better lock your windows and doors
Cause it's right down the road you've only got one year to go
Until your old enough to understand where you came from
Next thing you know your sitting alone crying over flowers he gave her
Wishing it was you telling her you loved her
But it's too late now cause there kissing in the shower
Yea I got those teenage blues
And they'll be coming after you
You'll feel emotions you never knew
Once puberty slaps you
I got those teenage blues
Those teenage blues
Now your all alone in the darkness of your room
Overwhelmed with feeling you never knew
Trying to figure it out yourself
But you know self harms something you wouldn't do
So you fight off pain with the music that makes you feel like you belong
Listen for a while and it gives you the strength to carry on
Now I got those teenage blues
They say depressions the new cool
But I'm only down when I'm not with you
So I guess I must be cool
I got those teenage blues
Yea those teenage blues
I got those teenage blues
Someday soon the storm will come for you
But it's okay cause it comes for everyone
We are all the same
We are all the same
We are all the same and life goes on
Yea life goes on

Change
01:38
|

|
Dead grass beneath our feet
Walking on fire till we feel the heat
Sit and watch as our forest burn
I guess everybody has their turn
We turn away and think our troubles disappear
But there's no substitute for fear
We keep on
Keep on hoping for the truth to fade
Hoping the sun will bring a new day
A new age
A new way
You can't solve these problems in a day
We gotta learn how to change
We gotta learn how to change
How to change
How to change
How to change

Girl in the wind
04:20
|

You've been on my mind since the day we died
Hoping for an afterlife
I still remember your smile
So sweet in the dying light
As we said goodnight
You were the first to touch my heart
So softly you did but our time is up
Now all I have are memories of
A girl in the wind
I can't help but breath you in
I let you under my skin
Now I can't help but bleed out
I couldn't figure you out
Girl in the wind
I took a trip to escape from it all
I shot for the stars I couldn't help but fall
Into your arms
And looking at you I know it's true
Love is made for not one but two
But i couldn't help you
But You were the first to touch my heart
So softly you did but our time is up
Now all I have are memories of
A girl in the wind
I can't help but breath you in
I let you under my skin
Now I can't help but bleed out
I couldn't figure you out
Girl in the wind
I couldn't figure you out
Girl in the wind
Girl in the wind
I can't help but breathe you in
Let you under my skin
Soo paper thin
Girl in the wind
Soo paper thin
Girl in the wind

We all feel pain

We all feel pain
We all feel shame
We all want trust
Someone to love
We all feel small
The worlds too tall
To measure on my bathroom wall
I heard them say
She's run away
Through my bedroom door
She wanted more
She wanted more
We all feel pain
We all feel the same
We all want trust
Someone to love
Someone to love
We all feel sad the trees bleed sap
To stay alive
Be truthful be kind
She ran away
She couldn't stay
She lost all faith in the human race
The human race
I miss you I wish you'd stayed
They're angry but don't know who to blame
Im crying and in a daze
I miss you and I wish you stayed
I miss you and I wish you stayed
We all feel pain
We all feel shame
We all want trust
Someone to love
Someone to love
She said goodbye on the tree outside
Ill see you again in the next life

Lost you
03:17
|

|
We don't talk anymore
We don't love like before
Soo many places we've never been
Soo many city's and streets
And i'm sitting here in my room
Crying over things we'd do
And i'm waiting here for you
Cause i'm not ready to believe that i've lost you
I can't lose you
Cause i can't go on without
You
You
You
Cause I can't live without
You
You
You
You
You
Cause I will never forget
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
Cause I don't want to
And i'm sitting here in my room
Crying over things we'd do
And i'm waiting here for you
Cause i'm not ready to believe that i've lost you

Hold on (we want you to)
03:45
|
|||
|
Hold on
Hold on
You got to hold on
And be strong
Be strong
For the road is long
And it'll lead you to your grave
If you don't believe
Please believe that love is free
And it'll take you to the ends of the earth
And leave you to find
That love was the journey and your family were just the street signs
Hold on
Hold on
To the love from your mum
Though its angry and will break your remote
Hold on
Hold on
To the love from your dad
Because you know he will always laugh
And hold on
Hold on
To the love from your siblings
Though its harsh and stings like a bee
Hold on
Hold on
We want you to hold on
And be strong
Be strong
You got that strength from your mum
Hold on
Hold on
To the love from your friends
Though its weird and is sometimes too much
Hold on
Hold on
To the love from your family
Because you know they will always be there
Hold on
Hold on
To the love in your heart
And it will guide you through this endless dark
Hold on
Hold on
You got to hold on
And be strong
Be strong
For the road is long
And it'll lead you to your grave
But just know that we'll be there every step of the way
