Breaking In
03:06
|
|||
Like a petal on a flower
I’m a fragile little thing
Like a glass of chardonnay
I could be easily broken
Like a green leaf out of place
In the winter winds
I’m cold and unfamiliar
With the place I am in
And I won’t fall in
Love in the dark
In case I break my fragile skin
And I won’t do away
With the mask
Today because
I am only breaking in
Like a candle in a storm
I could be easily dimmed
Like a wave upon the cliffs
I’ll disappear into the wind
And like a tall tree standing
Alone without its kin
I’ll stare into the distance
Wondering where I fit in
And if a tree falls down
In the woods
I’d like to be around
To hear the sound
And if you don’t
Believe that I could
I’m gonna cut you
Down down down
If you turn your back on me
I’ll forget about you
I’m only breaking in
It might have taken some time
To work it out
But now I’m running it
I know I’m not gonna be weak
I can see what I want
And I’m taking it
I know it might have
Taken some time
To work it out
But now I’m breaking

Somebody Told Me
02:57
|

Somebody told me
They saw you hug me
For just a little too long
They saw you holding
Onto that moment
For a little too long
I laughed
Looked the other way
And just went on with my day
Maybe there’s some truth
To what they say
Could it be me
Can I just not see
I look the other way
When everyone keeps
Telling me and I
Know what I’ll do
The next time that I hug you
I’ll do it for too long
And I’ll see if it feels wrong
Somebody told me
It’s clear to everybody
That when you look at me
They said they noticed
That you held your focus
Directly on me
They might be right
But I’m too justified
To expect someone like you
To be possibly interested in me
But I’m not sure that I’m ready to ignore
The idea completely
I’ll admit that I do notice it
I forget it just as quick
And then remember it again
People say it wrecks it
But I just don’t get it
Cause I can see your wall
From miles away
I remember when we met
I will not forget it
How could I forget it
Gone are the days
When I look the other way
Maybe I’ll start listening
To what everyone
Keeps telling me and I
I feel it too
But only sometimes
When I look at you
For a little too long
And whenever I sing this song

Leave my Dreams for Me
02:57
|
|||
Last night I had a dream
And I knew I would
Before I fell asleep
It came rushing over me
And it dragged me down
Like a big old submarine
Well, you're not welcome there
I told you that I'm done
There's only room for one
So I’ll just
Turn the lights down low
So I can see you
In my bedside glow
And not a minute after
Turn the lights down low
So I can go to sleep
You can leave my dreams
Leave my dreams for me
Last night I had a dream
That I was nervous
And you were nice to me
If I have to see you
I’d rather that you be mean
But if I’m honest
I’d never slept so deep
I thought by now I’d made it
I thought by now I’d faked it
But you say jump and
I still say how high?
Whatever you need I’ll be your supply
Between the hours
Of nine to five
Just leave me with my nights

Car Without a Driver
03:54
|

When I picked her up
By the side of the road
Didn’t know where
She’d come from
Or where she was going
There she was like
A rolling stone
I said come on honey won’t
You come on home
She said take me back
To the old race track
I must have jumped the gun
She said excuse me stranger
Oh won’t you be the one
She’s a car without a driver
She’s a guitar without a player
She’s a sinking sinking
Ship without a flare
She said excuse me stranger
Don’t you see this
Trouble that I’m in
Oh I’m never gonna
Make it home
Eyes wide, lookin like a child
Tryin tryin not to cry
Might break down any time
Will she find her way
There must be some mistake
She said I wasn’t supposed
To end up here
By the side of the road
She said excuse me
These hands of mine
Are empty don’t you see
She said stranger won’t you
Stranger won’t you be the one
To put my pain at ease
(Stranger won’t you be the one)

You Can't Have Both
03:25
|

One day you told me
That you would just wait
For her to realise
She'd made a mistake
You were sure she would
Come back to stay
And I thought you were insane
Here I am
5 years down the track
I’m the one waiting
For you to come back
Somehow it’s me
Can’t bring myself to see
Your mind’s made up
You don’t want me
You can say that you love me
As many times as you want
I can hear that you miss me
From the other side
Of the phone
You can say that you need
Another day alone
Darlin, you can’t have both
You’ve always seen the world
Through very different eyes
You think outside the box
You read between the lines
But you don’t cross any T’s
And you don’t dot any I’s
I’m just a song you wrote
And left behind
I gave you the best
Of both worlds
So far didn’t I
I’ve always done my best
To compromise
But you and I both know
We’ve come to the
End of the line
Put your money where
Your mouth is
And just make up your mind

Someone Down the Road
03:48
|
|||
In a pretty little town
Out in rural New South Wales
Over the blue mountains and
Further west a little way
Where the California Redwoods
In the park grow tall
He said they were his
Favourite of them all
Juliet said when you’re dying
Your whole world
Becomes small
Nothing outside yourself
Really matters anymore
And we know that
Death is something
We must all go
Through some day
But please not today
People coming round
But we never left the house
We were sitting round
Waiting for you
Poured another drink
Cause there was
Nothing left to do
We heard
Someone down the
Road was dying too
And we weren’t the
Ones in sickness
But our world got small too
I’d flown ten thousand miles
Away from everything I knew
This is the place
Where I was born
But it is not my home no more
It is not my home no more
So during those long weeks
We sat around the kitchen table
Told each other stories
Laughed as much
As we were able
We had that feeling
That you get
When someone that you
Love is gonna die
Maybe tonight
There was guilt that
We were feeling
Cause we were
Wishing it was over
And wishing it was over
Meant wishing he would die
So round in circles it would go
I wish he’d die oh no
I don’t but he’s in pain
What’s the point of
One more day anyway

I'm Leaving Town
03:35
|

I found a photograph
Of us when we were happy
And not only that
But you were looking at me
Like I was the only one for you
And I’ve got memories
Inside of all the things
That you gave to me
Hear it in the songs
That you sang for me
While I was the one for you
The next time you go searching
For all that glitters and gold
You better listen up boy
Cause you never heard me
The first five times I told ya
That the girl that you leave here
She gonna disappear
You ain’t gonna know her
So when you wanna get found
I won’t be around
Just waiting for a change
That isn’t coming right now
Yeah I’m leaving town
The next time you
Look back here
I’m not gonna make a sound
I used to smile once
At all the little things
That remind me of
You and me and us
And the kinda love
That we just don’t have no more
Now I wanna be blind
And all I do is cry analyse and
Try to remember why
Why we just don’t
Have it no more
I don’t know what
You’re searching for
Oh cause every time
You would fly
I would die a little bit inside
Lying on the floor
I used an Etch A Sketch to
Count all the days
That I had left
Hoping you would just
Cash all your change in
I’m sick of waiting
Waiting for you
To go and change your mind
And I’m suffocating
Trying to get your attention
While another year goes by
You used to adore me
I could see it in your
Face when saw me
You could say it
Somehow without talking
Like I was the one for you
That’s just the thing
I felt it when those
Looks stopped happening
The love that you had
Given was unravelling
Turns out I’m not
The one for you

Winter Jacket
04:01
|
|||
Well summer time in England
Is still rainy and cold
But every now and then
The sun comes out
And it sparkles like gold
And I remember such a day
When I first laid eyes on you
And though I didn’t want to
Give my heart away
You soon convinced me to
We talked about the world
How we thought
It had gone insane
Wrapped up in
Each other’s arms
We didn’t see a soul for days
We said we’d spend the winter
In each other’s warmth
But the way that
Things turned out
We didn’t get that chance
After all
After all (Ohhhhh)
From grace you fall
I walked into the
Place that night
And I saw her standing there
I felt a fear right in my bones
Though I wished I didn’t care
Cause I’m not the type to worry
Though I’ve been
Known to make a fuss
But deep down in my stomach
There was a feeling
I shoulda trusted
But you told me that
You were tired
So I drank myself a cider
In that grimy place
Just down the road
Thought I could use
Some sleep myself
I’m not exactly the
Picture of health
I’m gonna take myself home
Now what happened next
Thinking back now
Was for the best
But at the time I felt
My life was over
What a great coincidence
That in that 20 second window
I walked right past the
Right street corner
I walked right up behind you
As that big black taxi cab
Was just about to
Take you away with her
Placed my hand
Upon your shoulder
And I looked into your face
And you didn’t
Have to say a word
All the guilt, all the fear
Every lie I’d been so
Eager to hear
Was welling in your eyes
In that fragment of a moment
With my hand
Upon your shoulder
I’d been a fool
I’d finally realised
As I walked away
From that pub in Archway
I knew I’d never be the same
As how I was with you that day
I’ll never hear you call my name
The way I did before
And I won’t ever get to see you
In your winter jacket after all
