shame about that
line you gave
didn't sound right
to their ears
tried to be like
the expert you ain't
now no one wants to
be your friend
these people are like instruments
they take too much space in here
they don't sound right
they're not tuned right
don't know how to play them at all
shame about that
move you made
didn't look right
to their eyes
to think you were
almost there
in the circle
of their friends
these people are like instruments
it takes practice to be in synch
you don't sound right
you're not tuned right
you can't be in the orchestra

Burn Away
03:15
|

i dream of our home
built in the shadows of this house
i dream of the walls
the ceiling with your footprints
i dream of noise
baby shoes and kiddie toys
i dream of lies
books and butterflies
i dream of love
the wooden floors
the empty closets
i dream of those days
i dream of you when they say
burn away

Impossible
04:18
|

sinking to your level is not something
i'll be able to do
so don't you worry
your pretty little head
i am aiming for something higher
the goal is to never be like you
so don't you ever compare me to yourself
breathe in
breathe out
thought that you ever knew what it's all about
you don't know me at all and things are looking impossible
when you call me names
in the middle of the hall
who do you think
looks more foolish between the two of us
when you spread your stories
among your friends
what kind of prize do you think
you're getting in the end
breathe in
breathe out
thought that you ever knew what it's all about
you don't know me at all and things are looking impossible

To Be Honest
04:17
|

to be honest
when i think about the times
i felt the loneliest
i was with someone else
so it doesn't matter
if you leave me now
so save your apologies
give me your goodbye kiss
it's all i will remember
from our time together
take me out of the picture frame
crop the photograph
nothing stays the same
and all that remains is gratitude
and maybe in a few years time
i will bump into you
and i will be reminded
that i was yours
and you were mine
so save your apologies
give me your goodbye kiss
it's all i will remember
from our time together
take me up to the sky
usher in the pale moonlight
let me go and play outside
bring me out into the night

So Long
05:51

so long
it's just the way we left it
the room remains
spic and span, collected
you made no sense
last time you were by my side
you made no sense
last time you were inside
how long has it been
how long has it taken
for you to feel strong again
for you to feel like you're you
to feel like you're new
so fine
keep your eyes dry
your mind on some lie
you've told it so many times
the truth
you won't know if it bit you
you won't know if it hit you back
you made no sense
last time you were by my side
you made no sense
last time you were inside
how long has it been
how long has it taken
for you to feel strong again
for you to feel like you're you
to feel like you're new

Play For Keeps
02:38
|

|
i dream of silence
under the rain
i ask the questions
to quiet the pain
i play to lose this game
i aim to share the blame
i play for keeps this time
i aim to stay in your mind
i play to breathe this crime
as long as you're just mine
when your gun glistens
and your bullets ride the air
even as your face blazes
with the fear you've designed
it's nothing i didn't see
i anticipated this scene
a thousand times
i play to lose this game
i aim to share the blame
i play for keeps this time
i aim to stay in your mind
i play to breathe this crime
as long as you're just mine

Rearrange
03:03
|
|||
|
you can make your exit
when it's safe
or you can keep your promise
and just behave
if you want to stay
if you want to be here
a little longer
be here forever
just keep your demons under
you gotta feed that hunger
don't change
rearrange
just keep your demons under
you gotta feed that hunger
don't change
rearrange
or you can be somewhere else
you can leave
just keep your demons under
you gotta feed that hunger
don't change
rearrange
just keep your demons under
you gotta feed that hunger
don't change
rearrange

Truly Wonder
05:05
|

|
you can take the heart out of its cage
but you can't take the gun out of its gauge
it's over
it's over now
i saw it from a mile away
it makes me truly wonder how
you never felt the same, you never felt the same
you can take the lie out of the shame
but you can't take the sting out of its tail
you can stop me from spreading the story
but you can't make me believe you're sorry
it's over
it's over now
i saw it from a mile away
it makes me truly wonder how
you never felt the same, you never felt the same
you can look away or you can run and hide
you can wave back at me or say your last goodbye
it's over
it's over now
i saw it from a mile away
it makes me truly wonder how
you never felt the same, you never felt the same
