Drive

‘Drive’ Lyrics

I know it’s late now I know I
Ought to go
Ride in your car now
But please don’t drop me home
My head’s so heavy
Could
This be all a dream
Promise me
Maybes and say things
You don’t mean
Rain fall from concrete colored skies
No boy don’t speak now
You just drive
Drive
Drive
Take me through make me feel alive
Alive
When I ride with you
Keep my heart turning on
Axles around you
Keep our love burning just
Like it used to do
Now just for us
They could
Play our favourite tune
Let’s not discuss
All these
Things we can’t undo
Let rain fall from concrete coloured skies
No boy don’t speak now
You just drive
Drive
Drive
Speed me through
Make me feel alive
Alive
When I ride with you
Rain fall from concrete coloured skies
No boy don’t speak now
You just drive

Sway

‘Sway’ Lyrics

Don’t stray
Don’t ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don’t let me drown
Let me down
I say it’s all because of you
And here I
Go
Losing my
Control
I’m practising your name
So I can say it
To your face it doesn’t
Seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things
You mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it’s time
Tell you why
I say it’s
Infinitely true
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there’s no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you’ll Stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
It’s time
Tell you why
I say it’s
Infinitely true
Say you’ll stay

Hey

‘Hey’ Lyrics

You were on the second floor
Hanging out the window watching the cars passing by
With that look in your eye
I was hanging round below
Waving to ya from the road
I was calling your name
You were miles away
Hey
You’ve been wondering
What’s it to ya
You’ve been questioning why
All day
It’s such a silly thing
Still it threw ya
Caught you by surprise
You’re coming to me loud and clear
There’s nothing really for us here
Its a terrible thing
Hanging on by a string
There’s nothing left for me to say
You’ve said it all already now I won’t
Add anymore
I’ll just slip out the door
Hey
You’ve been wondering
What’s it to ya
You’ve been questioning why all day
It’s such a silly thing
Still it threw ya
Caught you by surprise
You and I so sick
And tired of
Hanging around
You and me we both
Agree it’s all over now
All over now
Hey
You’ve been wondering
What’s it to ya
You’ve been questioning why all day
It’s such a silly thing
Still it threw ya
Caught you by surprise

Bursting Through

‘Bursting Through’ Lyrics

I’m counting stars
Lying under
Watching you through my walls
All the lights have gone out
I know you’re listening now
You’ve been spinning around
Turning slowly
Orbiting round my house
It’s a feeling I guess
I know you’re listening now
Warm me today
Warm me today
Filter in my lonely room
Warm me today
Warm me today
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through oh it’s
Filling up this room
Now my fingers are cold
But I have touched you
You’re all I need to know
Don’t fade from me now
I know you’re listening somehow
All you can give
All you can give
Twisting bright
It’s more than light it’s
All you can give
All you can give
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through
Oh it’s filling up this room
Warm me today
Warm me today
Look outside the sun it’s
Bursting through
Bursting through
Oh it’s filling up this room

Swim

‘Swim’ Lyrics

This frame of mind
Young hollow man
Said all I’ve got to say
Done all I can
Won’t even try
Won’t even show
Don’t tell me things
I don’t want to know
Swim through me
Make me
More than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
And in these days between
When I fall apart
I’d run away but you know
I’m not that smart
These strange ideas
I’ll see them through
They’ve been a part of me
And I know that they’re a part of you
And they swim through me
Make me
More than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me feel secure
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure

Roll Into One

‘Roll Into One’ Lyrics

If I could make you mine
We could spend some time
Maybe you could come around in the weekend
Summers rolling by
And we don’t have much time
Tell me all about what keeps you ticking
We could sit in the sun
Let the days all roll into one
How could you take so long to decide
How would you know until you tried
Say what’s on your mind
Don’t be so unkind
If you believe in stupid things like love
Then we could sit in the sun
Let the days all roll into one
How could you take so long to decide
How would you know until you tried
Tried
Tried
If you tried

Suddenly Strange

‘Suddenly Strange’ Lyrics

Fire inside my shoes
Still walking forward
but back to you
I suppose I must be stuck with you again
This joke is wearing thin
I know its time
I know its time to go
And just so you know
This secret part of me never showed
And when you run around like you don’t care
I’m suddenly aware
I know its time
I know its time its
Suddenly strange I can hardly complain I’m
Down the stairs and I’m out the door its
Suddenly colder it bowled me right over
I’m down again I suppose its over now
Don’t ask me how
But it didn’t take much to figure out
And you know I’ll go acting really tuff
And giving back your stuff
I know its time
I know its time its
Suddenly strange I can hardly complain I’m
Down the stairs and I’m out the door its
Suddenly colder it bowled me right over
I’m down again I suppose its over now
Fire inside my shoes
It’s over now

Sorry

‘Sorry’ Lyrics

Wring out my guilt and hang it on the line
It’s been raining all week
It won’t get a chance to dry
I’ve been looking around the pantry for a box of
Sorries
I’m all run out yeah I’m all run out
Its not that hard to say I know
Its not that hard to say I know
Its not that hard to say so why can’t I say it now
And its been swelling up inside like the kitchen
Sponge
It’s in the back of my throat
It’s in the tip of my tongue
If I could sweep it out the door
That could be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
It’s not that hard to say I know
It’s not that hard to say I know
It’s not that hard to say so why can’t I say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
And I’ve been locking all the doors and drawing all the blinds
It always seems to find its way back inside
If I could sweep it out the door that could be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
So why can’t I say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now
Say it now

Heal

‘Heal’ Lyrics

Don’t forget me
Bring me down
Don’t let me
promise you
things I cannot do
This infection
Adds to my collection
Hoard my pain
And show it to you one day
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
And it fills my mind
With thoughts so fine
Don’t ask me too much of me oh
Heal me now
Heal me now
Heal me now
Heal me now
Don’t erase me
Cut me out replace me
I’m still here
And I’m not going anywhere
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
Let it free whatevers locked inside
Don’t ask too much of me oh
Heal me now
Heal me now
Heal me now
Heal me now

Delight

‘Delight’ Lyrics

Anytime that you fall asleep
I’m wide awake
Anytime that you leave your house
I’m waiting at the gate
I’m not angry anymore
Come on and show your soul
I’d love to hang it on the wall
Framed for me
Anytime that you smile
I know that’s really you
Anytime that you laugh you know that
I’ll be laughing too
But it’s not funny anymore
Come on now where’s your soul
Is that it crumpled on the floor
Is this blame on me
Delight Delight Delight Delight
Delight at least we know its name
Delight Delight Delight
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel again
Delight Delight Delight
It’s locked outside it won’t be coming in
Anytime now you’ll talk at least I hope you will
Anytime now you’ll speak and you know
I’ll be listening still
But we don’t say much anymore
Come on tell it from your soul
Delight Delight Delight Delight
Delight at least we know its name
Delight Delight Delight
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel again
Delight Delight Delight
It’s locked outside it won’t be coming in
Won’t be coming in
Delight Delight

Without You

‘Without You’ Lyrics

Walk around the bathroom
Fill the sink
Wander round the kitchen
And make a drink
To occupy my times my
Only wish
I’ve rearranged the magnets
On my fridge
Without you now
Without you now
Without you now
Without you now
Just can’t make decisions
Think what to do
Turn on my television
And think of you
Splash my face with water
Brush my teeth
Your toothbrush gone from where it
Ought to be
Without you now
Without you now
Without you now
Without you now
Ahh do do do do do
