He said don’t worry about your mother
You know what she’s like
Then he made a sideways glance
With a twinkle in his eye
Already put the lights up in the street
Interrupting my sweet sleep
Lord knows we can’t stand the heat
Could you turn it down
Could you turn it down
Oh lucifer
You’re the light bearer
You’re the shining one
Of everything undone
Oh lucifer
Can you feel it burn
There’s too many hurting now
Could you turn it down
He said nothing lasts forever
Don't it make you think twice
Then he made a sideways glance
With a twinkle in his eye
And we’re shot to hell when the truth is out
Don’t even want to know what it’s all about
I can’t feel my heart beating now
Could you turn it down
Could you turn it down
Oh lucifer
You’re the light bearer
You’re the shining one
Of everything undone
Oh lucifer
Can you feel it burn
There’s too many hurting now
Could you turn it down
Could you turn it down
Could you turn it down
Down
Down
And we’re looking up at the clouds
Feel a breeze and a shiver now
Noone make a sound (Ah)
Noone make a sound (Ah)
Feel my heart beating now (Ah)
Feel my heart beating now
Ah
Ah

Woods

I will walk into the woods
Find the silence and be speechless
Let leaves fall where they should
Let me lie and be blinded
Lights behind the mountain shine
Coloured stones and sweet erosion
Rise against the open sea
With the pulse of a new ocean
But my hands are shaking
There’s no one else around
Here I am just waiting
For you
For you
To help me off the ground
See a sign up ahead
Figure out which way we are to go
Take the long road
Round the bend
Time goes fast when your
Walking slow
But my hands are shaking
There’s no one else around
Here I am just waiting
For you
For you
To help me off the ground
But I didn’t know
I didn’t know
How could I have known
You’d Fallen
Fallen
Fallen
You’d fallen too
Your hands
My hands
Your hands
My Hands
Your hands (I will walk into the woods)
My hands (I will walk into the woods)
Your hands (I will walk into the woods alone)
My Hands
But your hands were shaking
You were lying on the ground
There you were just waiting for me

Only a handful of times have I had to write your name
Did I miss out or was I ashamed
There is a feeling in the freedom of a sigh
What a beautiful lie
Might you have stayed, I don’t know how much I would try
I know better than to pry
But 15 years of ideas of you and I gone
With no goodbye
Might you have needed to be set free
Might you need to be alone
Might you have wanted to call on me
Might you have me to call your own
Growing older we find it harder than it was
We live in the strangest world
Half way through the earth, through the core
Where were you before
Hereditary disease trekking on an unknown trail
Followed by a fear hidden under a veil
Somethings pulling on my sleeve to turn around
but I’m not
Bound to anything I might not maybe couldn’t trust
It’s a bullet in the rearview mirror
Breathing in light of such a tail
I hear the nightingale
Might you have needed to be set free
Might you need to be alone
Might you have wanted to call on me
Might you have me to call your own
Might you have needed to be set free
Might you need to be alone
Might you have wanted to call on me
Might you have me to call your own
And it’s all wrong
We got it all wrong
He said nothing’s wrong
So we just go along
No one’s wrong
Wondering whats wrong
Well somethings wrong
Might you have needed to be set free
Might you need to be alone
Might you have wanted to call on me
Might you have me to call your own

Bittersweet

Woke up early to the morning rain
From a dream that left me blue
There you were standing in
No man’s land
Telling me a version of the truth
I thought that yesterday was good
I thought I got you off my mind
So don’t tell me that you’re sorry
I don’t want to waste more
Precious time
Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Remember we were laughing in the kitchen
And we kicked off our shoes to dance
Well maybe I’m just a sentimental dreamer
For thinking we had a chance
But if you try to tell me it was nothing
Those are words that I won’t believe
So while you’re in denial I can
Fake a smile
But you know you were more than just my friend
Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Until then
I’ll have to pretend

Sinking In
04:20

I’ve seen your face
In the mirror everyday
It hides, seldom stays
But every move gives you away
There are things you’ve left behind
With the secrets in your mind
I won’t ask, no I won’t pry
Cause I’m biding for more time
And it’s sinking in
But it’s wearing you out
There’s no going back
Until you figure it out
You won’t figure it out
I’ve got tickets
They’re on the wall
And the draws hold the lies behind the door
Ohh hours steal my days
And it’s unkind to live that way
There are things I want to know
But there’s beauty in the things I don’t
See I want to hear the church bells chime
So please don’t tell me where they lie
And its sinking in
But it’s wearing you out
There’s no going back
Until you figure it out
You won’t figure it out
Is it harder
Because it’s colder
Or is it harder
Because we’re older
Is it worth it (Is it worth it)
Is it worth it (Is it worth it)
Is it worth it (Is it worth it)
Oh it’s just the way it goooooes
And it’s sinking in
But it’s wearing me out
There’s no going back
Until I figure it out
I won’t figure it out
