Itchy Feet

I’m ready to go again
I'm ready to go again
After a lot of moving
I feel like the one who’s still
The world is the thing that is travelling all around me
After a lot of leaving
And your friends are spread our far
It’s hard to remember how many of them
There are
I’m ready to go again
After a while I realise
This thing is growing with us
And I start to feel like I shrink every time I see more
I’m ready to go again
I’ve got itchy feet and I love the road
No two days the same
I’m ready to go again
I’ll over plan you under pack
Only trusting in change
I’m ready to go again
I'm ready to go again
So much sense in staying still and planing seeds and growing them around you til they hold you in a nest but you can’t help but push a bright red button can you neither can I help but take a look inside the box
I’m ready to go again
I’ve got itchy feet and I love the road
No two days the same
I’m ready to go again
I’ll over plan you under pack
Only trusting in change
I’m ready to go again
I'm ready to go again

Sunday ft. Kate Griffin
03:52

On a Sunday I will take time
To top me up again
I’m running on low
I, I know better now
On a Sunday I will not tire
It’s a lie to myself
To carry on through
I, I know not to
It took time
Better late than never
To realise
I’m no good to anyone burnt out
On Sunday I couldn’t find any energy
I was worrying why
I, I know what happened now
It took time
Better late than never
To realise
I’m no good to anyone burnt out
It took time
Better late than never
To realise
I’m no good to anyone
It took time
Better late than never
To realise
I’m no good to anyone burnt out

The Earth Has Moved
04:12
|
|||
|
I built my own world
And fit it in a snow globe
The snow would rise up
And then of course it would fall
Until the glass breaks
And all the water leaks out
What will the weather be like now
When there’s no roof anymore
There’s no roof
The Earth has moved I didn’t want it to and it breaks as it moves
And do I choose
To believe it do I leave it in
The Earth has moved I didn’t want it to and it breaks as it moves
And do I choose
To believe it do I leave it in the past
In the past
In the past
In the past
In the past
What else will you hide
What else will be a fake
I’d rather you not tell lies
I wanna get used to the truth
To the truth
Now comes the hard part
When there’s so much to unlearn
And people to leave behind
Leave behind
The Earth has moved I didn’t want it to and it breaks as it moves
And do I choose
To believe it do I leave it in the past

Does Anybody?
03:02
|

There’ll never come a time
When we don’t need a teacher anymore
And I will never understand it all I’m sure
There’s always more
I’m loving every minute
I get to choose how I do every day
But I could do the day a million different ways
Is there a right way
Will somebody tell me
When I get it wrong
If you know, let me know
Does Anybody?
When looking at my hands
I wonder why I gave myself a job
And made myself a boss as far as I can tell
I think it’s going well
When looking at the sky
I wonder if the feeling passes by but I’ve been told the feeling never goes away
When you look at it the right way
Will somebody tell me
When I get it wrong
If you know, let me know
Does Anybody?
Inevitable failure
It’s something I’ll just need to learn to love but every time it comes it feels just like the first, but only this one’s worse
Will somebody tell me
When I get it wrong
If you know, let me know
Does Anybody?
Does Anybody? Does Anybody?

I lie here alone in my head
Remembering things that were said
From loved ones to loathed ones
They all get their reruns
A cyclical omnibus of dread
Alone in my head
There are much better words I could use
To describe what I’m frightened to lose
It’s no complication
Just my own frustration
A feeling I struggle to place
Does it show on my face
But as I keep on yearning
The world keeps on turning
360 degrees
It’s not waiting for me
Let it fail, see the world still carry on
Let it fail, it didn’t matter, you were wrong
Maybe if I just had thicker skin
Then it wouldn’t bother me, wearing me thin

All That She Wanted
03:44
|
|||
|
She knows so much about you
There was a time she was you
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
(She sees all of her in you) To her, you’re so connected
(She knows what you might well do) You feel over-protected
(She can’t bear to see you fall) She won’t, She won’t
(She can’t bear to see you go) She’s scared to let go
All that she wanted was just to walk and get herself there
And it felt good. Because she did it alone
All that she wanted was just to drive her, to keep an eye on her
And it broke her, Because she did it alone
All on her own, All, All on her own
All on her own, All, All on her own
All on her own, All, All on her own
All on her own, All, All on her own
(She sees all of her in you) but honest preparation
(She knows what you might well do) does better than protection
(Can’t bear to see you fall) she knows, she knows
(She knows that you gotta go) she knows, she knows
(She sees all of her in you) she knows so much about you
(She knows what you might well do) there was a time she was you
(Can’t bear to see you fall) she knows she knows
She’s scared to let go
All that she wanted was just to walk and get herself there
And it felt good because she did it alone
All that she wanted was just to drive her and keep an eye on her
And it broke her because she did it alone.

Friday I'm In Love
02:55
|
|||

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday, you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday, watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throw out your frown
And just smile at the sound
Sleek as a shriek, spinning 'round and 'round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday, you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

2 Minutes More
02:27
|
|||

I’ve got a lot to make me smile
I’ll let it last me a while
I know that much
2 minutes more, to smile
Sun sets soon in the afternoon
We sigh, we yawn
My mind won’t move and it’s much too cold
To wait for thought
The morning song through the window sings, the birds begin
And the evening’s warm and the night can wait. There’s room to think.
I will wait
All winter for you
With a frozen smile
I’ve got a lot to make me smile
I’ll let it last me a while
I know that much
2 minutes more, to smile
I’ve got a lot to make me smile
I’ll let it last me a while
I know that much
2 minutes more, to smile

Pointlessly
03:45
|
|||
|
Lie here with me
In my arms
Here in my arms
Everything
It doesn’t mean
Anything
In the grand scheme of things
But thankfully, in the grand scheme of things is not where we reside
Holding me
Silently
Pointlessly
I can still love
Regardlessly
It doesn’t need a meaning
To feel real
It only matters when
We agree when it’s real
Holding me
Silently
Pointlessly
