Tracey Thorn - Out Of The Woods (2007) by Tracey Thorn (보컬) on maniadb.com

Sometimes it's so close
Sometimes you almost can
Touch it with your fingers
And hold it in your hands
It shines like silver
It falls on you like rain
But you close your hands on air
And there it goes again
Your mother's blue
And your father too
It's in the family
So where does that leave you?
Your eyes are open
Your hands are bruised
Your wings are broken
So what is there to lose?
And the sun coming through the trees
Is much prettier than
The glare of the light on the sea
And the sun coming through the rain
Is more precious than gold
And here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

Some things never seem to change
Kids still call each other names
Should get better, but it's sad and strange
Every insult still the same
Growing up in small town hell
They bide their time till the dinner bell
Take a swing with a bag, and they wait
By the school gate
All this pushin and shovin
When you need a little lovin
A little human kindness
But where you gonna find it?
So you close your bedroom door
And you kneel down on the floor
Cause you don't want to get caught
Packing the bag that your mother doesn't even
Know you bought
""so it's come to this"" you cry
Not even time to say goodbye
You pack some cigarettes and an a-z
Push the suitcase back under the bed
You've been balanced on a knife
Will the city save your life?
You've been waiting for so long
Just for somewhere to feel like home
You've been balanced on a knife
Will the city save your life?
Your life is waiting for you
Love is waiting for you
So pack your cigarettes
And your a-z
It'll be just like that book you read

Here is the street and here is the door
Same as it was before
And up the stairs and on the wall
Is .... Kiss and Terry Hall
And Siouxsie Sioux and Edwin too
And Bobby Dee in '63
And everything I knew was good
And like it was just understood
Now I need that feeling
I'm reaching for that feeling
Hands up to the ceiling
And the rain came down on a cold, gray town
And I showed myself to them
And I went underground
Then I closed my eyes
And something passed me by
I didn't even try
And I don't remember why
And now I need that feeling
I'm reaching for that feeling
Hands up to the ceiling
Hands up to the ceiling

I watch the way the light
Falls accross the street
I watch the way you blink
Just before you speak
I love the way you breathe
I'll hate the day you'll leave
It's easy to forget
We haven't even started anyway
Sometimes love is a mistake
An easy one to make
And if there's any doubt
You're better off without
I watch as you sit
Staring at your screen
I think that I could fit
This places in between
It's easy when we try
We need reminding why
We try, when we try
Do we just intend to try?
And that's broken and sad
Still the only thing we have
And i'll be waiting here
'til someone has a better idea
Something that could make it easy

Woke up this morning to the smell of rain
Tears running down your window pane
Little pictures on your telephone
To remind you that you're not alone
Through the curtains see the breaking sun
Let you know you're not the only one
With your eyes closed
You can count the fingers on one hand
You've been sleeping with the wrong man
Couldn't see through the thick fog
Now you're falling off a log
Falling off a log
Looked at your diamond, it was just a fake
Your heart was sleeping, now it's wide awake
And all your girlfriends in the living room
Sit and tell you it was never you
You're trailing Scooby Doos and Pokemon
Taxi's here now, so come on, come on
Let's get out there
No looking back, it's just history
You've been barking up the wrong tree
Now just follow your own nose
And you can do it with your eyes closed
Count the fingers on one hand
You've been sleeping with the wrong man
Teaching tricks to an old dog
And now you're falling off a log
Falling off a log
You can do it with your eyes closed
