See How The Evening Goes

Ladies and gentlemen look what you've done
Maybe it's more than you know
Lady and gentleman look what you've done
now you've pushed him as far as he'll go
Why can't you see that you're asking too much of him
taking for granted his goodness
stopped by his anger he wont go much further
you're burning your bridges it's so sad
Know how you've got this thing so wrong
too soon to just call out what you've done for so long
Don't put us all down and expect a big smile and a show
don't think its all fine to treat people like this for your own gain
See how the evening goes
See how the evening goes
We call you out and you stumble
We call you out and you're lost for words
See how the evening goes
See how the evening goes

You've got something that I need
but you keep your distance and your privacy
staring at me through the glass
keep on moving and avoiding eye contact
x2
and it goes
on again on again on again
one and two and three and four go by
keep on smiling
trying to make the hours go by
on again on again on again
five and six and seven now
as it starts to rain again
x2
you think that I must be strange
to keep on waiting in the pouring rain -
that chills right to the bone
surely theres a better way for me to get back home
x2
and it goes
on again on again on again
one and two and three and four go by
keep on smiling
trying to make the hours go by
on again on again on again
five and six and seven now
as it starts to rain again
x2
you've been driving south alone
asking with your thumb is what you've done before
so close to giving up
and you've been driving for as long as I've been waiting for
x2
and it goes
on again on again on again
one and two and three and four go by
keep on smiling
trying to make the hours go by
on again on again on again
five and six and seven now
as it starts to rain again

Forget It
04:08
|

|
You wanted to know how they felt about you
gave it a go and went in blind without a clue
but things didn't go the way you wanted them too
you let it slip it all fell out 'cause it was true.
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
So forget it
forget it
and move on, don't hold onto the pain for too long.
You're wondering now what this means for them and you
can you go on as normal like you used to do
'cause things didn't go the way you wanted them to
you we're hoping for an answer that they didn't give to you
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
So forget it
forget it
and move on, don't hold onto the pain for too long.
Move on, don't hold onto that pain, it wont be the same as it was,
for too long, don't hold onto that pain, you have nothing to gain from it now
and move on, don't hold onto the pain for too long.
You're wondering now what this means for them and you
can you go on as normal like you used to do
'cause things didn't go the way you wanted them to
you we're hoping for an answer that they didn't give to you
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
You said it yourself that you'd regret it once you'd said it
So forget it
forget it
and move on, don't hold onto the pain for too long.

What Else Would We Do?

You keep asking all these questions even though you never think the answers true
I know it's on your mind that we're both ignoring lies.

What else would we do?
What else would we do?
What else would we do?
You keep asking all these questions even though you never think the answers true
I know it's on your mind that we're both ignoring lies.
x2
What else would we do?
What else would we do?
What else would we do?
Try to run away but I end out just running out to meet you
try not to stay but the fear of change holds us together
we know what we have to do
maybe its worth pushing through
what else would we
what else would we
what else would we do

Graveyard Games
04:01
|

|
In the corners of your vision
you should question what you see
an interesting collision between your nightmares
and your reality
With each step I get a bit quicker
I can't tell what's following me
the darkness is getting thicker
I wanna get out of here
back to my own safety
So many scenarios are racing through my mind
I'm breathing like I'm in fight or flight mode
Shadows chase me home
I went out alone
down the road through the cemetery
Shadows chased me home
I went out alone
my mind plays these games on me
I trod in rode side water I can feel it seeping in
the cold makes me shiver I wanna move faster but it slows me down
and in the corners of your vision you question what you see
an interesting collision between your nightmares and your reality
So many scenarios are racing through my mind
I'm breathing like I'm in fight or flight mode
Shadows chase me home
I went out alone
down the road through the cemetery
Shadows chased me home
I went out alone
my mind plays these games on me
A fear of what could appear underneath my closed eyes
afraid of what I've made up in my mind.

Unspoilt
05:05
|

I was wondering what I would do
then I thought maybe I could make my own little home
where there always is something to do
and I get lost in my own garden for the whole day
I climb into it under my tree
where there are bugs
weather is warm
where there is only me
I built houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
I build houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
a rabbit hole's my home
then we run back inside
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt
at the back of my garden you'll find
my old swing still hanging how did it once carry me
walking through the woods back to the field all of the deer have kept the path well trodden for me
and the styal still holds me up strong
but it gets smaller
it's much smaller
it's so small to me now
I built houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
I build houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
a rabbit hole's my home
then we run back inside
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt
and I still
and I sill
get lost
get lost
I built houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
I build houses from flowers and treetops were towers imagining for hours
a rabbit hole's my home
then we run back inside
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt
the house on the hill
where everything's still unspoilt

Under My Nose

A risky wrong, out in the open
A risky wrong, out in the open
what would I say? If I saw the old me and I told me that you could have
anything you want and find it right beside you, life is kind to you
things will change a lot but they'll change for the better
things will change to what
feels like we've always known.
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose
What do you say? If the future is exciting there's nothing we're fighting and I'll try to give you everything you want, I'm the one who's knowing that you keeping me going.
things have changed a lot but they've changed for the better
things have changed to what
feels like we've always known
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose
show me you know
and get to know me in a different kind of way
show me you know
and get to know me in a different kind of way
show me you know
and get to know me in a different kind of way
things have changed a lot but they've changed for the better
things have changed to what
feels like we've always known
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose
A risky wrong that felt just right
the best mistakes are made in the night
all that I wanted was under my nose

All I know is you look bad I can't pretend
All I know is you are sad my love I send
But I'm here, I'm here, I'm still here, for you.
Don't believe me but we're not so different
you must think the rest of us, indifferent
But I'm here, I'm here, I'm still here, for you
You're unique, please don't get lost
you feel so isolated in your homemade cage
you struggle more than others just to make a wage
to buy the stuff and give an awful lot away
notice me we're one you see don't stay away
don't stay away
I wish I knew how you hurt and what to do
How to feel and how to heal the pain in you
But I'm here, I'm here, I'm still here, for you

Racing The Hour Hand
03:55
|
|||
|
Don't know why I'm getting weaker by the hour as it goes
Don't know why I'm losing any sense of power as it goes
trying to not lose
trying to not lose
trying to not lose
but it's not getting any easier it's getting longer
longer I'm tired, too tired to stay awake
Running out of time
cutting it fine
its a blessing in disguise
Feels like I'm speaking a different kind of language no one knows
passing by hoping for some kind of inspiration I can show
trying to not lose
trying to not lose
trying to not lose
but it's not getting any easier it's getting longer
longer I'm tired, too tired to stay awake
Running out of time
cutting it fine
It's a blessing in disguise
Trying to not lose, racing the hour hand
trying to not lose, racing the hour hand
trying to not lose, racing the hour hand
But it's not getting any easier it's getting longer,
Longer I'm tired, too tired to stay awake
Running out of time
cutting it fine
it's a blessing in disguise
It's not getting any easier it's getting longer,
longer I'm tired too tired to stay awake,
running out of time.
It's not getting any easier it's getting longer,
longer I'm tired too tired to stay awake,
running out of time.
It's not getting any easier it's getting longer,
longer I'm tired too tired to stay awake,
running out of time.
Running out of time
cutting it fine
it's a blessing in disguise
