Before You

Before you
No mystery for me
Or surprise to see
Sky was one shade of blue
Dreams just for bed
And that's all that I knew
Before you
No patterns everywhere
And nothing to compare
One and one is just two
The sun just sets
And that's all that I knew
Before you

The Words
05:00
|

Please
Can't you see
You're hurting me
Are you so blind
I see it in
your eyes
Please
These are the words that
never once worked before
Won't you see
Part of me
Gets left behind
Don't you realize
Please
These are the words that
never once worked before

Row

Row
So you've run the race
Not even close
You fell on your face
No, no great white whale
just common prose
Notes in the mail
Row
Go nothing to see
Not like you'd know
You don't cry for me
So no fairy tale
that book is closed
broken and pale
Row

Wearing Down
03:39
|
|||
Pretty sad I'm not good
At the things I'm good at
And time that I waste
I can never get back
I'm happy just to float
But someone's always
Knocking holes in the boat
I find my mind is wearing down
Pretty sure I'm not here
This place where I'm sat
Time that I misplace
I can never get back
I'm empty just a cup
And forget ever trying
To fill me up
I find my mind is wearing down
I'm happy just to float

Moments Joy
05:02
|

It's all the usual pain
But nothing really hurts
It's all the noise next door
You can't sleep a night
It's all the pulling through
Like you always do
It's all the spinning plates
Running to keep up
It's all your broken parts
No one can repair
It's all the wasted time
Make it through the week
It's all the watching planes
Wishing you could go
It's all the stacks of mail
Papers you should read
It's all the wind up smiles
Nothing really worse
It's all the nothing lasts
Faces in the past
You need a moments joy
A minute lifted up
You need a moments joy
Just a seconds peace
You need a moments joy
Need to catch some breath
A moment to let go
And let a white warmth flow
It's all the stressful dreams
Wrong side of the bed
It's all the holding together
But always falling apart
It's all the small fears
Growing through the years

Pulse
04:13
|
|||
Across the bridge we came
In the summer rain
Hand in hand again
Hear me call your name
Sometimes I don't know
Who I miss the most
Check my pulse
To see if I'm a ghost
Home beneath cool trees
Only I can see
Autumn on the breeze
Sometimes I don't know
Who I miss the most
Check my pulse
To see if I'm a ghost

Rearranged
03:20
|
|||
Like rooms rearranged
Everything has changed
It's a new day
One that never looked this way
A train has left it's track
The planes not coming back
What do you think
Can't return down a road
With a map that's been burned
Like dreams that are strange
Everything in flames
It's a new day
One that never looked this way

Crimson
04:10

|

Have faith
In sunshine tomorrow
Can I wait
Will you be too late
The sun sets on this road
I think that you must know
Hope today
Or pack it away
Crimson is
Crimson is
The color of wanting
The color of needing
Have faith
In sunrise tomorrow
Will I wake
Still with this ache
The sun sets on this road
I think that you must know
Hope today
Or pack it away
