perish union
put me down i get scared up too high with you
if i fall in no time you will forget me won't you
when the sky opens up will you watch me flying, who knows
* tired homes, the train won't stop when we need it
with old men, we are stuck in perish union
don't know, if we could leave the town we loved in
not today
only you seem to make my kind of sense
until now, no one ever thought what i think
do you know, yeah you know, i hate you leaving, any way, anyway
always all ways i give what i can
always all ways you never feed me
so i will hunt you down and perish with you, always all ways
a parachute and a pair of shoes is all that i have left of you
a parachute and a pair of shoes is all that there is left of you
* it's been five years since i've known what you're feeling
so just go, before i do i don't know
it's been five years and you know i am still listening
but you're leaving, don't tell me again why
put me down i get scared up too high with you
if i fall in no time you will forget me won't you
when the sky opens up will you watch me flying, who knows
* tired homes, the train won't stop when we need it
with old men, we are stuck in perish union
don't know, if we could leave the town we loved in
not today
only you seem to make my kind of sense
until now, no one ever thought what i think
do you know, yeah you know, i hate you leaving, any way, anyway
always all ways i give what i can
always all ways you never feed me
so i will hunt you down and perish with you, always all ways
a parachute and a pair of shoes is all that i have left of you
a parachute and a pair of shoes is all that there is left of you
* it's been five years since i've known what you're feeling
so just go, before i do i don't know
it's been five years and you know i am still listening
but you're leaving, don't tell me again why
break it
you use your metaphors proclaiming wars on evil shores
the locals wish you just went home
you stall to change the laws when you're the cause of all the flaws
the evidence is still on loan
mediaeval legions retort photo transport you know much more
than how to shoot a dead recruit
leave the camera on the shelf now you think you're something else
go and find a world to tell, did you fake it and break it
you want it simplified when they all hide and multiply
and all the while you grow old
try to mesmerise the fleeting eyes with oversized
samples of how much you have grown
so many times you mountaineered too far from anywhere
the climate's always so severe, did you fake it and make it
if you think what might have been if they had seen all your schemes
they could never tell you what to do
are you just a has-been in tattered jeans with broken dreams
you're blaming me but i blame you
the blanket's been there up 'til now, kept me warm anyhow
we'll find the gold and then get out
did you take it and make it
did you fake it and break it
you use your metaphors proclaiming wars on evil shores
the locals wish you just went home
you stall to change the laws when you're the cause of all the flaws
the evidence is still on loan
mediaeval legions retort photo transport you know much more
than how to shoot a dead recruit
leave the camera on the shelf now you think you're something else

bandy
i never noticed that you don't make any sense
this time i think i got the question wrong
now it's over and i don't have a defence
i realise my lives are all gone
what can i do, but freeze for you
i didn't notice before you look as good as you do
i never knew why you would take so long
and now it's over i'm never going to give in to you
i realise i really got the answer wrong
and when i do, i freeze for you
when you're down do you want me to
when you're cold i'll turn off to
and freeze for you
i never noticed that you don't make any sense
this time i think i got the question wrong
now it's over and i don't have a defence
i realise my lives are all gone
what can i do, but freeze for you
i didn't notice before you look as good as you do
i never knew why you would take so long
and now it's over i'm never going to give in to you

when you're down do you want me to
when you're cold i'll turn off to
and freeze for you
sick again
waking up, i'm still tired
wear my forgetful eyes and forge it from my mind
you won't leave fifty five percent, seventy five percent, ninety five percent
of the time, leave me alone
i am on my own, with no defence, will you call me always
i want to rest, but confidence is too easy to deflate
talking in business codes, dining with tiny eels, do you feel it is real
drowning my football hopes, surviving on the skin of the thing i'm fleeing
and tomorrow i go through the same thing, all again
i'm sick again

how much would it hurt
you won't tell me what you're thinking, so i drown into my drinking
tie me down until i'm sinking, what's up with you
i didn't notice in the letter, you were telling me we're never
gonna turn out any better, with something new
you're jumping in with nothing, i can't hear what you're saying
and even when you lie there is not a lot you want to prove
there is only one chance ever, are you staying here forever
how much would it hurt if my heart fell on you
when all the thoughts of you have faded, they linger while you waited
i am living on frustrated, like you're going to lose
and you think the end is nowhere, i fall into a blank stare
i want it so much but i can't bare the thought of having you
i wonder if you're listening or if you want me to sing
a song that's gonna put a little pressure on you
i hate how we're being so tell me one thing
how much would it hurt if my heart fell on you
you won't tell me what you're thinking, so i drown into my drinking
tie me down until i'm sinking, what's up with you
i didn't notice in the letter, you were telling me we're never
gonna turn out any better, with something new

i want it so much but i can't bare the thought of having you
i wonder if you're listening or if you want me to sing

how much would it hurt if my heart fell on you
coastguard
this evening i'm just a little low, i'm getting practice for when you go
'cause i need you all myself, but i see your mind is somewhere else
so i said, that i want you naked in a million smiles
but you leave your clothes on all while
it is too hard for me to stay, when you're here tomorrow but gone today
i'm beaten, cut up, but you deny it, i'm eaten, shut up inside i know it
you used me from the start and now you
rip out part of my heart and pick up
my feelings straight off the floor and you make them yours
throw us both overboard and when you
hold me down 'til i fight no more, well you know
you'll never make it back to the shore, now your coastguard's gone
and you are miles from home
and now you're coastguards drowned

mean to you
the best can only take you so far but i'll nest in the wake of your arms
yet so far i don't really know what i mean to you
and the test might just break me apart as i get so lost and i fall so hard
you're running scared now that you believe what i said to you
it's not now, i see you run in my head
i want to search the answers for you but i sense
i can't move, i'm caught in the signals you have sent
if you wait, i'm certain we'll find what we want to
the best can only take you so far but i'll nest in the wake of your arms

east or west
sleep in i got to know what pieces i am part of it seems that it's too hard to make something we are proud of and now we won't get there while someone else went harder i'll have tea with the talkers way too often and now i know them it will only fuck us up, are we east or west, will you talk it over 'cause satellites they're not that far when you travel down from the moon to get here we lie under covers, in hotels, like rehearsal you want to go out now but i feel so residential is it right or wrong for you does it have to be such a scandal over exposure of all our honesty is too hard to handle i'm waiting wasting time, i'm hating wasting time |
goodbye friend
one time you stood me up, now we're living in the core
when it dawned on us, what is it we're here for
you said you're my goodbye friend, you will be with me 'til the end
tell me what's changed since then i don't know
this time you're giving up, i don't notice anymore
why i left it all like it was before
one time you stood me up, now we're living in the core
when it dawned on us, what is it we're here for
you said you're my goodbye friend, you will be with me 'til the end
tell me what's changed since then i don't know
this time you're giving up, i don't notice anymore
why i left it all like it was before

beginners
you know i hate you staring, when you see all i'm fearing you know it's true, i want it to last, take a photograph you wouldn't believe it i give up and hide until you stop, fear on every breath i think it's for the best when all the beginners enter and we're alone outside if i ever took a chance on you, we could be some much more, than we ever knew i don't know if i'll feel it again, i wanted us exposed, we're so much more than friends i need it more now i'm hopeless, we're not keeping score but you know it i thought i got it right what did i miss, we saved the truth for when it didn't matter now there is so much in the way, i know that time will drag you away, so forget it was i just so wrong to guess you'd never know now the longer you're gone i'm just a wet photo, hoping to dry what i've got left to say before you go, we lost ground but i want you to know i'm hoping to try |
never get there
all i have is nothing, you know the spark is not there
but part of me is holding on, because i don't know where, to fall and do you care
well i doubt it
the kind of pain that follows, to feel all alone
i know i haven't lost a friend, but i have broken everything, and you know that
i kind of fear the truth, i would die for you, but you'd never guess that would you
when you were strong we were alright, but you were never wrong
it's like a hollywood film around you tonight, i know the ending half way through
and again i lose, so it is time to go
you leave a note for me, i will not reply before you validate why
and all the while it's me, it was all make believe
we could never get there could we
i need now to keep me up
all i have is nothing, you know the spark is not there
but part of me is holding on, because i don't know where, to fall and do you care

and all the while it's me, it was all make believe
we could never get there could we
i need now to keep me up
alive again
time is easy to find here, but it was never you, i had nothing to do
but wait for my own dry end, it seems you want me to pretend
that now it's alright, my own feelings aside, i would
be the one who runs too many miles for you
i got pieces of you, through a phone line today
you said you want to turn around now, and find a way out
i remember when you could never leave, and now it's alright with me
i've lost my heart i guess it's following you
i'll just go out with my friends and feel alive again
and i hope that tonight it is worth it missing you
time is easy to find here, but it was never you, i had nothing to do

different town
when i fall into you i melt away, i can't say the right things to make you stay
i just want to write you the right song to say
all the things that i feel for you, and all the ways i want to try
tell me who is she, why don't i know her name
i don't think i can stand to hear about her all day
i won't stay or argue, i'll be fine anyway
now i am not sure what you meant to me
you burn my house down, i'm not inside, i don't live there anymore
so now you live in a different town, and you're up when i go down
when we're over i'm underground, i won't hear you make a sound
i just want you to understand, i'd love you take my hand
and i'll be everything you planned, if you let me be that man
yeah you live in a different town and there is so much life around
and i am lost until you're found, so i need to tell you now
so just know that i will stand, next to you when you land
i won't fuck it up again, just give me one last chance
i don't know why you write to me, you burned my house but i survived
when i fall into you i melt away, i can't say the right things to make you stay
i just want to write you the right song to say
all the things that i feel for you, and all the ways i want to try
tell me who is she, why don't i know her name
i don't think i can stand to hear about her all day

here it ends
when i give you who i am i lose in the end
but i can live on if you don't know, do you
i can't stay here if you're sure, you don't want it anymore, you don't love it anymore
those words will stick to you, and i don't forget a thing
but i don't want to think, about loving you anymore
so when i go away, i'll spare a little time and destroy everything that's yours
do you really think, that i could ever mean, to be so mean, well hey
don't say you know me, 'cause i don't think you do, but you like to think you do
don't you
every time i let you believe me, i could not accept what i was really feeling
'cause i didn't show, 'cause i never bet, 'cause i get obsessed and i want nothing less
why didn't you need me as much as i hope you could, 'cause i really miss us
i can not admit how you get me down, 'cause all i do is sink, yeah all i do is drown
i can't say why i stuck around to dig my broken heart further underground
but what else is there that i can do when all i knew was how i love you
but you're gone aren't you
i'm hurting and here it ends
when i give you who i am i lose in the end
but i can live on if you don't know, do you
i can't stay here if you're sure, you don't want it anymore, you don't love it anymore
those words will stick to you, and i don't forget a thing
but i don't want to think, about loving you anymore

quicksand
written by glenn musto & kelly campbell
you were not there any time i tried to look for you
that's not your fault i'm never on track so
i won't tease you when you think i want you back again
as i fall i will pretend that i'm sinking into quicksand
you know i don't know if i want to go down
we are so loud but we're looking for a new sound
you won't treat me like a friend 'cause you think i want you back again
time has deleted you again i know it will be alright
you were so right you were telling me all night
throw the rock right and now we've got a mudslide
name a dream you want to sell and never get it back
well every fight has got to end i know it will be alright
you are not fair i never want to go there
that's not my call you know that i'm dying here
you are so right and now i'm the one alone tonight
but that's not my fault

turning blind you never saw the signs, you fake tomorrow but today i see the lies
with all the secrets it was you i never knew, now i'll delude that
i've got everything i need, come i'll show you the worst of me
i tried for so long to keep it from you, but now i guess you deserve the truth
you think i owe something to you, well one time is enough for me to bruise

that you're the one to sweep me away, now i know that you won't change

skinny dipping
water falls around i see your face, you've taken your clothes and your under the moon i waited for the day i could feel this, i wondered the way that i could get near this i think of your touch and being with you, to think that i was alone before you i wonder what i would say to meet her now you're everything in my head hope you don't let me down dream walking alone with you, i've got to get away, when water falls around dreams in my head tell me to see her, i try to catch her eye and i'll call her she'll look as happy as ever, her smile stuns me again, i'll turn around in fear i wanted to say to you i'm in love, with you loving in another day leaving and coming again we'll make it stop, with you |

and i know i'm right and i know you're right and i hope you'll love me

your stares scare me
i see your plumb line fall, you're not making any sense
i'm building up my walls, to hold your tolerance
i'm making up my mind and digging my own grave
i'm sorry i piss you off every time that i get sick
want to pick up from the end where the line won't fall again
i'm sorry i piss you off with every letter that i don't send
i'm sorry i piss you off
want to break it means to me not as much as it does to you
there is a mess i don't want to clean but i think it has to be me
to neaten all the pain while you're patting down my grave
i see your plumb line fall, you're not making any sense
i'm building up my walls, to hold your tolerance
i'm making up my mind and digging my own grave
i'm sorry i piss you off every time that i get sick
want to pick up from the end where the line won't fall again
i'm sorry i piss you off with every letter that i don't send
i'm sorry i piss you off
want to break it means to me not as much as it does to you
there is a mess i don't want to clean but i think it has to be me

big solder
did you see him write a letter, do you notice it's getting harder to make contact with your saviour, 'til you get there i will save her big solder (burning holes on the under side, take control of the minor signs) we're a pair broke and old, it's essential we are central no contract it's a dilemma, we'll sever, find a lever big solder (burning holes on the under side, take control of the minor signs) big solder (what a goal and at what a time, we have sold out and i feel fine) now we're older, the heat is colder, you could have told her, it should be over big solder |
hope in you
i apologise to you for all the time i thought i could force it happen
and i apologise to you for the way i deteriorate your satisfaction in me
why don't we make a little time fly by
why don't we fake it 'til my eyes can't stay dry
why do i see his eyes every time you say you love me
the door isn't locked but you're still trying to use your key
so i might say goodbye and make out it all means nothing to me
to me it seems i've got to go, 'cause i am feeling things that i really don't want to show
so it's time to grin and bare our lost goal
say goodbye to love and hello to hope in you
i apologise to you for all the time i thought i could force it happen
and i apologise to you for the way i deteriorate your satisfaction in me
why don't we make a little time fly by
why don't we fake it 'til my eyes can't stay dry
why do i see his eyes every time you say you love me
the door isn't locked but you're still trying to use your key
so i might say goodbye and make out it all means nothing to me
to me it seems i've got to go, 'cause i am feeling things that i really don't want to show
so it's time to grin and bare our lost goal
say goodbye to love and hello to hope in you
now it's a blur

remembering things about missing time
thinking things, saying things and doing nothing at all
christ, it haunts me still, christ, it probably always will
it all happened so long ago, to someone i hardly know
i missed you there, i was looking for you, had a feeling that you'd show up late
it all happened now it's a blur, and i can't remember except that it happened
miss you

remembering things about missing time
thinking things, saying things and doing nothing at all
christ, it haunts me still, christ, it probably always will
it all happened so long ago, to someone i hardly know
i missed you there, i was looking for you, had a feeling that you'd show up late
it all happened now it's a blur, and i can't remember except that it happened
miss you

never did you need to go that far but i guess we both were led to see
that the profit that we waged from a steady start is now spent upon the money tree
and a step in time takes you closer to your truth than mine
i fear, i do, have i broken you
let me live the dream and a hope for glory, is it easier to think she cares
should i keep the words and just change the story, it's a face i must believe to wear
she cries for you, was there nothing better we could do
i came last, i do, have we spoken too
take a minute don't have the time, licking my books and burning your fingers
take a point make that climb, wood just sticks to a poisoned mind
multiply my every need, carry the two but not the three
it's true, i say, we all choose our own mistakes
