You want to wipe some space
Onto the mirror for your face
To get somebody coming back at you
Lonely lonely lonely…and nothing's coming through

If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and start again
If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and start again
Wait 'til you're ready
Wait 'til you know
Then you find yourself wondering
What the waiting is for
If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and start again

If your fire isn't taking
Stamp it out and light again
If your fire isn't taking
Stamp it out and light again
Here cos you're in it
Stay for a while
But you look in the mirror
For the spark in your eye
If your fire isn't taking
Kick it out and light again

If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and love again
If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and love again
Stay cos it's easy
Stay cos it's here
But you stay for a minute
Then you stay for a year
If your heart isn't in it
Pull away and love again

I guarantee it, you're gonna feel it
No frown and no shame now
Nothing's cold as yesterday's flame

Written by Moyet/Glenister

Could you wake me up when it's over
Well maybe I'll sit this out, I think I know the score
You read to me before
Why wrap it up so precisely
I know what you're bringing me, I keep them on the side
With gone and nevermore

Should I feel that it's over, all over
And are you here when I hold you, I wonder

You wanted days to remember
September without the fall, a house without a wall
A given in surprise
I never match you for missing
And you call this kissing, I feel closer to the sky
You never ask me why

Should I feel that it's over, all over
(Dry your eyes, outside vermillion skies ease the lies
Loose the ties that keep you under)
And are you here when I hold you, I wonder
(And I realise, when the sun is in your eyes it's no wonder)

Written by Moyet/Glenister

It's the stain on the moon
It's your idiot name
It's the noise in the noise
The gift of the game
It's the fruit that we bear
The peach that I bore
It's you and it's me and it should have been more

It's the choice that I made
It's the maid that you chose
It's the slip in the slide
From fingers to toes
It's the song of out there
The pull of the door
It's you and it's me and it should have been more

What if I could say now, what if I could say
Everything I meant now, everything

It's only hours, only days
Sat in Libra's Bowl, where it's all, it's all, it's all
It's all, balancing

It's the black in the grate
The smoke in the sink
It's the ether that you and I
Opted to drink
It's the tooth that was chipped
On the first ever kiss
It's you and it's me and that's what it is

Written by Moyet/Glenister

Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky
Somebody's talking and won't tell you why
So you ask them to stay when you want them to fly
And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Somewhere his heart's saying
She will be coming for me
She'll be coming for me

Hometime hometime
I'll know his name and he'll remember mine
Let him be just for me
Let him be poetry
Wait for me patiently
Wait for me

Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Watching the door for his "she"
To be calling…it's me
And this morning is free

Written by Carlton McCarthy/Ed White

I have come to a time
When I must really decide
Love you gave so complete
I want you back

Hear me when I call
Hold me like before
Play the changing forms
Into sleep we fall
And we wake to love adored
Tell me that it's so
When I look at you
Through the eyes of love

And I'm missing you
Say you miss me too
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it,
Say it, say it

Everything feels right
Tenderness invites
Love you gave so complete
I want you back

Hear me when I call
Hold me like before
Play the changing forms
Into sleep we fall

And I'm missing you
Say you miss me too
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it,
Say it, say it

No easy about it
Born to a mountain slide
You're gonna learn to take a dive

No easy about it
I won't tell you not to need it
Cos you don't want no chatter now
Wears you down just to sit it out
And you don't want to hear a thing about
What he should but doesn't think about
When you wanted him without a doubt

You learn to skate on something this cold
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
That I know you could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(All that I want)
Everything I ever wanted
(All that I need)
(All that I have)
Everything I ever wanted
(All I believe)
Is sitting down here with me
Feeling like a bad man
(Feeling like a bad man)

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

You learn to skate on
Something's cold
You're free a little moment to feel

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(You learn to skate on)

Written by Moyet/Glenister

If you don't come back to me
You'll have saved me goodbyes
My escape would be neat
I won't lose a minute's sleep
Recovering what we made and meant not to keep
Life is Sweet
Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me

If you don't come back to me
I won't measure by you every man that I see
When next by chance we meet
I'll pass you by and not care if you're watching me
Life is Sweet
How it spins me around
Something's lost, something's found
And I won't hit the ground
If you never came back to me

Can it fail to astound me
How it surrounds me
And I won't steal to breathe
If you never came back to me

Written by Carlton McCarthy

Do you ever wonder
What it's like
To be alone and
No sleep at night
Ever wonder
Is this for real
Ever Wonder

Sometimes I think you sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

In my mind a picture
That you frame
Kaleidoscope of love you're showing me
Loving sweet rays
All hopes that fade
My only gain
My lonely game played without you

You sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

Through the wake of you
Every now and then
Every now and then
The road that I follow is so far from you

Do you every wonder

I've been keeping you safe inside for the longest time
I've being trying to keep alive the paper kisses you sign
And even now when any body breathes you name
I prepare to feel that pain
Bearing down like the train coming through in a minute
Oh it's war, it's farce, it's cinema
It's one long ride an inch too far

The louder you scream, the faster you go
The more that you learn the less that you know
I brought a ticket and there's no way I can ride but alone
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Didn't want to be right tonight, you were out of line
I made a meal of this mess of mine for the very last time
And one day when you stumble, I won't break your fall
It won't hurt any more
But I'll ride on the train coming through in a minute
Going south and on so let it come
The train I ride won't always run

I got a ticket and it's going to take a while, going slow
But it's going to stop and that's letting go
I took my chances and I'm going to have to go with the flow
But somewhere it stops and that's letting go

Written by Moyet/Glenister

Look at your face, it's like looking at mine
This was our room when we used to know
How to share ourselves in silence
You don't have to go

Feeling your hands, almost like mine
This was our space, when we used to mind
That we knew ourselves in silence
You don't have to go

All we gave away is never coming back
All the love we made is anything but that
And I feel, it's everything I know
You don't have to go

Look at your eyes, looking at mine
These were our words when we used to know
How to share ourselves in silence
You don't have to go
