I had two real friends, every time they climbed my fence Oh I know that I belonged See the tips of the trees from my red trampoline I was on top of my little world Oh every now and then, I wish I was a ten year old I had a sister and when she had some spare time to spend She could always count on me We’d dip our toes in the pool, icy cold on the ledge Then she’d push me off the edge Oh every now and then, I wish I was a ten year old There’s something beautiful in the way a kid can see the world I wish I could depend on the kindness flowing from that girl Oh every now and then, I wish I were ten. Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold Dolphin dive into the water Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old

With No You 03:24
Can we please just be friends like we were at the start When my rose coloured glass was new? Can we please take it back to a time I knew nothing Of this life I now live with no you With no you, With no you I don’t know what I’ll do with no you With no you, With no you I don’t know what to do with no you I’m still wrapped in all of the memories Of you holding me to sleep I’m alone I’m afraid I don’t know what I’ll do With myself in a world with no you I don’t know what to do... With no you, With no you I don’t know what to do with no you If I threw away all our memories Maybe I could sleep in peace tonight When I sit on the couch There’s no-one to talk to I’m alone in the room with no you I don’t know what to do... With no you, With no you I don’t know what to do with no you With no you, With no you I don’t know what to do with no you

Darling 02:54
Why are you out this late Darling? You should be warm in your bed Darling? In your colourful sheets, dreaming sweet dreams, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Might have to bite your tongue Darling Walking at midnight alone Darling Your heartbeat’s a drum but your shadow’s a gun Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Every star is an eye Darling They watch as you cry Darling They wish you the best Then they leave you the rest Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling Darling, Darling

Got no sleep cause I’m in love Getting down too low Got cold feet cause I’m in love Freezing every single toe I’m a sailor On a sinking boat And I wish I could stop, thinking of this Love that I have for you How long will I take I’m hopeless in love I’m hopeless in love with you Remember when we’re in love And you’d hold me in a heap In my bed we’re in love watching each other breathe And I And I And I wish I could stop, thinking of this Love that I have for you How long will I take I’m hopeless in love I’m hopeless in love with you I’m hopeless in love I’m hopeless in love with you Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up You drop me down Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up You drop me down Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up You drop me down Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up Trying to pick me up You drop me down

Living in a house with 9 plus 1 is pretty fun Your kitchen’s full and you are buzzed Because you have so many friends that you can’t microwave your mug and they Will make your face and stomach ache Seven months are great then out the blue Who would bother with a birthday party no would show up to It’s extreme highs to extreme lows It’s extreme highs to extreme lows Some days I get worn down so paper thin I blow around like I’m a lonely feather in the wind And all my friends are all weighed down because their bones are made that way I hear them laugh, I hear them play but I cant stick around and stay Cause my extreme highs to extreme lows It’s extreme highs to extreme lows It’s extreme highs to extreme lows It’s extreme highs to extreme lows I must be in the upside-down I’m getting overwhelmed again (I must be in the upside-down I’m getting overwhelmed) I’m a faulty elevator that can only land on one or ten (I must be in the upside-down I’m getting overwhelmed) There has to be a reason and that reason must be on my end (I’ve just been crying in my bed I know that they can tell) I’m a faulty elevator that can only land on one or ten

Caveman 04:04
This is a song about what I wanna do for a week or so Go out into the forest and drink some real mountain dew From the river flow Catch a fish and cook it like a caveman Sleep outside to feel like I’m a brave man I wanna go outside I wanna go outside I wanna go outside It’s a perfect little picture I put up in my world of thoughts When I am worrying An open window in a crowded space A dream one step away Fresh air fresh everything I could climb the tallest pine tree in the forest To see the world through the eyes of Pocahontas I wanna go outside I wanna go outside I wanna go outside Oh man, let's go back to basics I know a better place to go I know when I spend time in nature Lightning, it strikes me in the soul Do we belong out in the open? Do we belong beside the sea? If I ran away forever Don’t come running after me

Waiting for my hope to die so I can move on with my life Help me find my way home Ruined all my favourite songs with one love story that went wrong Help me find my way home Take me to Harley Street and they’ll remove my cold heartbeat And help me find my way home Poisoned by my human brain, I bit the apple once again Help me find my way home Take me to Harley Street and they’ll remove my cold heartbeat I’ll tap my red shoes once or twice Cause you can’t see yellow bricks at night Help me find my way home Somebody help me find my way home Take me to Harley Street and they’ll remove my cold heartbeat I’ll laugh I’ll smile then after a while My heart re-breaks, a failed retake It won’t help me Somebody help me find my way home

Today I draw a line under the sand A trench to mark a splitting of the land Like a chainsaw cutting down the middle of an old willow tree It pushes against the human in me Barbed wire to secure my place Slogging away at a parapet It’s a pretty filthy way to be My clothes are wet Stones in my shoes Dirt on my knees Here in a hole is a lonely girl, making herself lonelier Here in a hole is a lonely girl, making herself lonelier Here in a hole is a lonely girl, making herself lonely

A girl lies in the distance Hidden by a bed of clouds How the innocent of faces Has been trained to be a hound When she hears a whistle She will answer to its call Just a brainwashed ammunition That was made to do it all Ohhh, the blue blue dress is gone Ohhh, your girl is on the run Ohhh, Ohhh Ohhh, your girl is on the run I think I’ve found forgiveness But pity might just be enough Cause the girl that wore the blue dress Is still gonna rough me up She’s barking at the window When I stand outside the gate And she’ll kill a little rabbit Even if it’s just for game Ohhh, the blue blue dress is gone Ohhh, your girl is on the run Ohhh, the blue blue dress is gone Ohhh, your girl is on the run Ohhh, Ohhh Ohhh, your girl is on the run

If you know it’s raining You wouldn’t wear a t-shirt If you found a precious stone Then you would keep it If you really loved me You would never leave me Everybody knows it’s all the same You put your favourite picture In a silver locket Keep it wrapped around you So you can keep it safe If you really loved me You would never leave me Everybody knows it’s all the same Cause you can say that you love me all you want but If you really loved me You would never leave me Everybody knows it’s all the same If you bought a puppy You’d stare at it in wonder It’d be cruel to never touch her and keep her locked away If you really loved me You wouldn’t do that to me Everybody knows that’s just insane Cause you can say that you love me all you want but If you really loved me You wouldn’t do that to me Everybody knows that’s just insane

Love is not a card, it’s not a card that you can play To make all of your bad decisions go away Love is not a plaster or a band-aid that you put On a nasty wound to hide its nasty looks Oh love is hard oh love is hard, that’s how you know it’s love A lifelong pursuit that’s supposed to build you up But when hurts, it really hurts, each fall is fifty lashes I hope to stick out to see beauty in the ashes My favourite superhero is the Priest from Les Mis Cause when he gets screwed over he just offers more to give And even through his character I’ve only seen on screen I hope that there’s a possibility it could be me Oh love is hard oh love is hard, that’s how you know it’s love A lifelong pursuit that’s supposed to build you up But when hurts, it really hurts, each fall is fifty lashes I hope to stick out to see beauty from the ashes So I stared at you, I stared at you, I stared you in the face Until I couldn’t talk and my hands were shaking Then freedom, freedom, freedom stole me away And a single tear made an oasis How can you love without forgiveness? So drive your car, and buy your flights and write the cards you need to write Talk your talks and hug your hugs Make sure you love the ones you love Rip the band aid, punch the wall Pull the curtain, hear the call Talk your talks and hug your hugs Make sure you love the ones you love Make sure you love the ones you love
