> You know it comes to a time when you realise
All the things around you have changed Like the needles that fall from the Christmas tree And all the thoughts that you've lost that you thought you'd saved We always sit there in silence waiting for things that we couldn't change. Do you remember looking out at the garden, Making notes as the leaves start to fall There's something special about the changing of season, the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call it's calling your name Let the journey begin Let the journey begin If you only do one thing this year, take this advice Pack your bags and son and keep running as it doesn't happen twice Dust yourself off as you fall down on the way, as all the time spent will be worth it come that day Let the journey begin Let the journey begin Let the journey begin Let the journey begin You know it comes to a time when you realise All the people around you have changed Like the friendships that turn to acquaintances All the friends that you lost that you thought you'd made We always sit there in silence waiting for things that we couldn't change Do you remember looking out at the garden, Making notes as the leaves start to fall There's something special about the changing of season, the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call it's calling your name Let the journey begin Chorus repeat |

I just don't know what it was
And I don't know when it came All albatross fighting like a buzz Saw and calling my name I just don't know what it was And I don't know when it came An albatross fighting like a buzz Saw and calling my name And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown I don't know why I was scared I've got the power of speech And all the threats and the violence in the world Couldn't make me impeach I don't know why I was scared I've got the power of speech And all the threats and violence in the world Couldn't make me impeach And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown Efface, efface, efface, efface And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown And we were waiting on the back foot Waiting on the back foot Waiting for the monster to drown |

I've walked a hundred miles
I've seen a hundred thousand smiles Not one of them as beautiful, as beautiful as yours And all the petrol station flowers Or all the stolen looks in the small hours Will never know, we'll never know, we'll never know why Young and lovestruck will find themselves Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear TV says that the insecure will always be Lonely and business stands to improve, improve And how times have changed And our love songs are re-arranged For different names, a different face I'll pretend that it's for you And with that sentiment intact Please keep the first line as a fact You never know, you never know You never know why Young and lovestruck will find themselves Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear TV says that the insecure will always be Lonely and business stands to improve, improve All my infatuations, they never made it past The Internet or a night you'll regret And all the fashion types, are shagging indie types And teaching them, how to smoke and how to dress And they're dressing to impress And they're dressed like all the rest Young and lovestruck will find themselves Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear TV says that the insecure will always be Lonely and business stands to improve, improve Young and lovestruck will find themselves Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear TV says that the insecure will always be Lonely and business stands to improve, improve |

We talked for hours
And nothing made much sense I'm sick and tired Of sitting on the fence 'Cos I've been sitting here for hours And I thought I found the answers to The questions I was asking Now I'm not sure what they were Amongst the postcards of Catalunya And the late night conversations I, I can't find the hows or whys We talk in circles We move in narrow lines I miss the gray patch Between the black and white And I've been sitting here for hours And I thought I found the answers to The questions I was asking Now I'm not sure what they were Amongst the postcards of Catalunya And the late night conversations I, I can't find the hows or whys I miss the silence Of sitting here alone I think I love you But I'm better on my own 'Cos I've been sitting here for hours And I thought I found the answers to The questions I was asking Now I'm not sure what they were Amongst the postcards of Catalunya And the late night conversations I, I can't find the hows or whys I can't find the hows or whys I can't find the hows or whys I can't find the hows or whys |

She said she'd like to step outside
All of the boxes that made burdens in her mind And run knee deep into the tide Chasing the birds as they descend into flight And you don't have to be constrained By all the railroads and the motorways And you don't have to be afraid I've never witnessed the Northern Lights I've never walked on the Seine at night Won't you take me there through the window of your mind? I want to see all the world with you Take a walk amongst the caribou Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes Can we go there tonight? And as he sat behind the desk and he pondered When he'd have the time to rest from all the windows and the files His old friend sanity's been missing for awhile And you don't have to feel constrained By your mortgage and your minimum wage And you don't have to feel ashamed I've never witnessed the Northern Lights I've never walked on the Seine at night Won't you take me there through the window of your mind? I want to see all the world with you Take a walk amongst the caribou Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes I've never witnessed the Northern Lights I've never walked on the Seine at night Won't you take me there through the window of your mind? I want to see all the world with you Take a walk amongst the caribou Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes Can't we go there tonight? |

You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain
On the television screens and the newspaper headlines we read today There's a war going on in the Middle East and the fallout Affects us all, but nobody out there's prepared to talk There's a war going on on our own front door step With the Jews and Islam-aphoebes Because every time a bomb goes off we get religious probes There will always be extremists acting in their names of God But the Gods they worship will never hear them call I could build you a tower, I could set you apart From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon with a rifle in his hands His parents betray his innocence as he's old enough to be a man As a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds Into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground The waters rise to enormous heights off the coast of North Korea With all the weapons testing our worlds investing in nuclear fear I'm counting down the days until this earth destroys itself Through our ignorance, gluttony and wealth I could build you a tower, I could set you apart From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down |

Stuck in reflections, it's getting late
Same hopes and fears we can all relate to Some speak in riddlesm, I speak in rhyme Making decisions out of time This tourniquet tries to restrict the flow Of all the truths that you should know My acid tongue and your sense of wit Don't let society restrict A quick verse for the underrated Don't let the pressures get you down Keep singing out, keep singing loud A quick verse for the underrated Don't let the pressures get you down Keep singing out, keep singing loud Stuck in reflections, it's getting late Same hopes and fears, we can all relate to Some speak in riddles, you speak the truth Even if it's not getting through A quick verse for the underrated Don't let the pressures get you down Keep singing out, keep singing loud A quick verse for the underrated Don't let the pressures get you down Keep singing out, keep singing loud |

I'm wide, I'm wide awake at night
And my mind's preoccupied and the silence won't reside Or resolve the feelings that exist Because it's easy to dismiss and it's harder to get heard And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet And I wish that you were lost without me And though the more I think about it the easier it seems I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward Were we made as corresponding shapes? Our two pieces tessellate, were we designed to fit as one? And it's with patience that I wait As these romantic notions take my dignity and tact And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet And I wish that you were lost without me And though the more I think about it the easier it seems I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward And as the sun sets on this now You'll be the one I thought about And as the sun sets on this now You'll be the one I thought about And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet And I wish that you were lost without me And though the more I think about it the easier it seems I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward |

We make lists, we make plans
To write books, to form bands Or to move to Kreuzburg And escape into the night So pack your bags and let's take control You and me, let's go The next time that you're lonely Or the next time that you're free So why? So why? So why? If we can make the plans Can we just not find the time? Don't get me wrong I know it's hard And the good things never last And yet theres no point in waiting For a miracle to save your life You took the time to find what's real And amongst the baggage that you feel Is holding you back, the demons cast aside So why? So why? So why? If we can make the plans Can we just not find the time? Safe way is not, the safe way is not The way to live your life Your light is beautiful, don't let the daydreams die Don't let the daydreams die So why? So why? So why? If we can make the plans Can we just not find the time? So why? So why? If we can make the plans Can we just not find the time? |

And if all the words that I could never say,
it's inevitable that they're never going to go away. And all of the plans, that we could've made, it's inevitable they'll never see the light of day Because this could be all This could be all Don't you love it when the sun breaks through the clouds on the dark days and you just sit there smiling hoping that it won't go away. Do you remember when the rains came down in summer on that hot day and you just sat there laughing hoping that it won't go away. Because this could be all This could be all Chorus repeat x 2 Because this could be all This could be all |

> After shows all the time, meet the band, do a line
Hotel room, double bed, empty sex and then regret Kiss and tell, *I'll* tell a friend, so and so would like to spend *More* time in my company, thinks he could fall in love with me. And I'm sorry and I hope you don't mind, It's just it's getting late and I'm feeling tired And I've got better things to do tonight Than cultivate your vacuous desires Three days later there's no texts, *What* the hell did you expect He's only in it for himself For the money for the wealth A shallow kiss to fill a void A broken heart a lonely boy, You took advantage of his pain *Took* his dignity for fame And I'm sorry and I hope you don't mind, It's just it's getting late and I'm feeling tired And I've got better things to do tonight Than cultivate your vacuous desires. |

> What if I could run, what if I could hide away
From all the things I've done, would I start it all again? I could've seen it all I could've seen it all if I bide my time I could've seen it all I could've seen it all but I wanted more And through all the great things I've seen I couldn't live with just a dream, but it was more than just a dream It seems we always fight against the things that lead us on We always take a bite of the apple that will seed our fall And you could see it all, you could see it all But that's not what you need I've seen it all, I've seen it all in pathetic falacies And although there's great things to see We get struck in our hypocrisy and we'll revel in our greed What if I could dive, what if I could see the ocean floor What if I could fly, what if I could spread my wings and soar I could've seen it all I could've seen it all but I took my time I could've seen it all I could've seen it all but I wanted more And through all the great things I've seen, human nature took the best of it for me Yeah you took the best for me I Could've seen it all (repeat to fade) |
