    After 22 months spent in New Zealand, touring the length and breadth of the country in their little van called Brian, Good Habits are returning home – but not before their farewell tour and the release of their second album.

I tumbled into life Among some absent minded strangers There were no questions asked or questions answered I started at the start The choice belongs to you You tell yourself you fully earned this But when so much was pre-decided How much do you deserve? Can I pre-ordain? Does it make a difference? Can I choose my future? Or would it be the same if everything were different? I live for the inevitable I will still be here x3 I can’t change my mind. I will still be here (repeats) I can’t change my mind. So just be pleased with it It doesn’t need to have a meaning Is it a butterfly effect I’m living? ‘Cause I don’t need to know. Can I pre-ordain? Does it make a difference? Can I choose my future? Or would it be the same if everything were different? I live for the inevitable I will still be here x3 I can’t change my mind.

I can feel the earth begin to move I hear my needle hit the groove And spiral through another day I hear my song begin to say Kiss me where the sun don’t shine The past was yours but the future mine Your out of time I don’t feel to steady on my feet I feel hollow I feel weak Passion fruit and holy bread Fill my guts and easy my head Through the early morning sun I can see her here she comes She bangs the drums Have you seen her have you heard? The way she plays there are no words To describe the way I feel? How did it ever come to pass? She’ll be the first and she’ll be the last To describe the way I feel. Have you seen her have you heard? The way she plays there are no words To describe the way I feel? How did it ever come to pass? She’ll be the first and she’ll be the last To describe the way I feel.

I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it x2 Hoping it’s enough to trust in what I know Then it comes to an end when something else comes clear, be overthrown I’m not holding on to the idea that’s right in front of me. So I’m coming to you for the answers to my burning questions You’ve got the answers. Tell me what. But you say I don’t know anymore than you do x2 And now my world is falling apart So I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it Hoping it’s enough to trust in what I know Then it comes to an end when something else comes clear be overthrown I’m not holding on to the idea that’s right infant of me. So I’m coming to you for the answers to my burning questions You’ve got the answers. Tell me what. But you say. I don’t know anymore than you do x2 And now my world is falling apart So I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it We only know, we only know we know nothing x4 I don’t know anymore than you do x2 And now my world is falling apart So I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it I’m learning to fix it only learning can fix it

Now I know better Not to care When it takes me longer I know that I’ll be there Don’t care if it takes me a little while longer 
I know that I’ll be there soon So Don’t wait for me I’m coming x4 Now I’ll go further where no one dares The whole thing feels harder to me So I’ll take a lot of care Don’t care if it takes me a little while longer 
I know that I’ll be there soon So Don’t wait for me I’m coming x4 Don’t care if it takes me a whole extra day Don’t care if it takes me a whole other way Don’t care if it takes me a little while longer Don’t care if it takes me a little while Don’t wait for me I’m coming (repeats)

I want to buy a fridge with you And cover it in old pictures of our memories When we went away so we can relive those days When it’s raining outside But I won’t mind Cause we’re warm and dry You and I Photos, once up to date photos, Are held there in place by Simpsons magnets from my cornflakes My photos, yours and my photos, Collecting our days. The fringe hold those memos reminding us Photos, sunburnt wrinkle-free photos, are snapshots in time, time we keep. Pictures smile on a Sunday’s warm afternoon The week starts again. We argue over nothing new and we’re sorry too. Inevitably we have to relive mundane, when it’s Monday But we’ll add something new, a crayon portrait she drew Wobbly drawing of you and me too Photos, once up to date photos, Are held there in place by Simpsons magnets from my cornflakes My photos, yours and my photos, Collecting our days. The fringe hold those memos reminding us Photos, once up to date photos, Are held there in place by Simpsons magnets from my cornflakes Photos, sunburnt wrinkle-free photos, are snapshots in time, time we keep. Pictures watch us getting older, and older As we watch pictures of us getting younger and younger There in our pride of place, that we can’t replace, won’t replace And we know how it feels Because it was real Our collage of time Time we keep.

Something in the water’s got you Did someone do it better than you? Somethings got you all worked up? Did someone say you’re not enough? Something in the water’s got you Something is confusing you Someone else is hurting you Doing just what you wanna do It’s none of your business It’s none of your business what they do it’ll only anger you It’s none of my business It’s none of my business let it be and it’ll anchor me I won’t let my envy get the best of me Don’t you wanna know what you can do When there isn’t much to stop you Don’t want to let it go Won’t you do it your way Someone’s got to tell you to stop Sometime it’ll get too much Don’t you want to let it go Don’t you wanna see? It’s none of your business It’s none of your business what they do it’ll only anger you It’s none of my business It’s none of my business let it be and it’ll anchor me

Tide Me Over 02:04
I’ve come a long way dear It’s been a journey to get here Through the roads and where they lead to Following my eagerness to see you I need to see you, to tide me over I need to see you, to tide me over I need to see you just to know your there And we can go from there It’s been a long day dear I’ve taken days getting back here One more hour I’ll have to wait through Knowing that I’m deprecate To see you I need to see you, to tide me over I need to see you, to tide me over I need to see you just to know your there And we can go from there

We could go back to a life that we’ve never known A one way ticket to our separate homes A one way ticket to the unknown You could go, you could drive away and I wouldn’t know Until it’s too late I rely on you only as much as you need me too ‘Cause you need me too, to live like we do. We are more than alright we can sleep in our small van all night Still we can dream the same dreams as before x3 We could lie, pretend it’s fine and we’d feel alright and deny this time As a gift to us, a time goldmine it’s adventurous Not alone there’s a friendly face Who has made a home in each new place I rely on you only as much as you need me too ‘Cause you need me too, to live like we do. We are more than alright we can sleep in our small van all night Still we can dream the same dreams as before x3 We are more than alright we can sleep in our small van all night x4 Still we can dream the same dreams as before x3
