And I feel like takin off
Let me be your supernova Before u make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me the chance to get it right They got it all They've got all the things I thought I wanted But I can't afford To fake anymore To live this fasad Of smiles as the warm Champagne pours Out on the lawn we pretend we are haven tons of fun In this world where we don't belong So don't come around Is she thinking of me did she forget What we once had And I feel like takin off Let me be your supernova Before u make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me the chance to get it right get it right Oh they got it all You can see they got it all They got the cars the boat And the beautiful house by the shore you know there's more But I can't take another minute of it all He wants his kids and his dog He wants his breakfast in bed Hes got his trust funds saved Not a worry in his head But it's not you homey I wanna break up this scene And see you runnin back to me Cause I feel like taken off Let me be your supernova Before you make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me a chance to get it right get it right Ya I feel like taken off Let me be your supernova tonight Before you make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me a chance to get it right get it right You got it wrong If you say our love is gone You got it wrong If you say our love is gone You got it wrong If you say our love is gone You got it wrong If you say our love is gone Ya I feel like taken off Let me be your supernova Before you make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me a chance to get it right get it right now I feel like takin off Let me be your supernova Before u make the biggest mistake of your life Just give me the chance to get it right get it right |

I suppose I was thinking about how nothing's ever black n white in life.
Sometimes you've got to bend the rules you know? To get where you need to be. And this is coming from a pretty straight forward shallow as a puddle fella. Perhaps that's why I find lying interesting. Bcos I don't indulge in it very often. Any way, waffle over. Enjoy. Ben White Lies Lying, I still can't find the truth. So I spin another line on you You can't blame a fella for trying I'm hoping, you eat my every word Doesn't it taste so good? But deep inside I'm dying Oh! I wanna word with you If there's never a perfect time It's time for another white lie White lies, just another white lie I did it to get close to you And I will tell a million more White lies, just another white lie I do it to get close to you And I will tell a million more white lies One day, I know you'll understand That I didn't really have much choice I just had to hide it Sometimes, good men do bad things Just as bad men can do good Tell me which way you like it Oh! I wanna word with you There's never a perfect time However much I try Oh! Why don't you sit yourself down? Cause we gotta talk this through It's time for another white lie... White lies, just a little white lie I did it to get close to you And I will tell a million more White lies, just a little white lie I do it to get close to you And I will tell a million more white lies Oh-oh, oh-oh I was just playing girl, I was just playing by your rules Oh-oh, oh-oh Just another white lie and I'll tell a million more White lies... |

The way you look at me
Could be in an old film in black and white But your hair's too short and your jeans too tight Maybe we should let them know Maybe we should let them know I just knew we were trouble when we first met I just knew we were trouble when we first met So long ago, it was so long ago I just knew we were trouble when we first met I just knew we were trouble when we first met So long ago, it was so long ago I watch you in the dark The alarm clock light flash across your face I wonder who one day's gonna take my place I wrote another song For you, for you I wrote another song For you, for you Maybe we should let them know Maybe we should let them know I just knew we were trouble when we first met I just knew we were trouble when we first met So long ago, it was so long ago I knew we were trouble when we first met I just knew we were trouble when we first met Was so long ago, it was so long ago Reminding you, you better leave me alone Just get with that boy down in Marylebone The one with the skateboard and the baseball cap And the mother in west London with a three bedroom flat I'm just a boy from Birmingham, another imposter On a major label roster, how did I get here? No fear. How did I get here? No fear, how did I get here? No fear So long ago, it was so long ago I knew we were trouble when we first met I just knew we were trouble when we first met Was so long ago, it was so long ago. |

Straight, no chaser.
We dont waste our time on fakeness. One glass one shot is all it takes us. Better this than fade away So, our story goes this empty city Crowded skies are clearing but I'm lonesome. No! Bring on the night. Theres work a plenty. Fluorescent lamps are passing in slow motion, Only I will wander Only I can leave <i>[Chorus]</i> So we set the scene: a sea of faces. Laser eyes are watching as we close in. Dont play innocent. I know your thinking. Youre chasing conversation out of focus. Only I will wander Only I can leave <i>[Chorus x2]</i> |

I'm learning to live without your love
Day by day, day by day I'm learning to live without your love Day by day, day by day You kick me in teeth As I was heading for the door I can see you speak, but can't hear you anymore No I can't hear you anymore Unexpected tears (Unexpected tears) From our faces fall (from our faces fall) For years we've talked this through But I look at you and you look at me Anyone can see I'm learning to live without your love Each day by day, each day by day I'm learning to live without your love Each day by day, each day by day Take a look around your yard And you ask yourself What can't I leave behind They're just things after all You don't need things anymore No, you don't need things anymore It's funny how much junk Into one trunk can fit I knew this day would come When I look at you and you look at me Anyone can see I'm learning to live without your love Each day by day, each day by day I'm learning to live without your love Each day by day, each day by day Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Where in the world will I go, I don't know Anywhere but here Memories, ever so sweet I started thinking, maybe this love is unique Memories, ever so sweet I started thinking, that this love is unique Memories, ever so sweet I started thinking, stupid me, I started thinking, never think, I started thinking Memories, ever so sweet I started thinking, never think, I started thinking, never think, I started thinking |

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
There will be tears I've no doubt, there may be smiles but a few And when the tears have run out, we'll be numb and blue I can't be there with you but I can dream <i>[x6]</i> I still dream <i>[x2]</i> <i>[Verse:]</i> Oh no, I stubbed my toe Crack comes the pain like a bullet But at least it goes Not like us Happiness came and went; we had a little tear and now the tears are spent We were trying to move forward love, but it's tricky through a brick wall love What the fuck, are we doing love? How the hell do we move forward love? Had you had a little drink? Did you have a little think? Did you have a little walk down the beach and have a think? Ignorance was so much bliss thanks. It was bliss but then came the kiss. My boy drove me all the way home, he said "Son, it's a situation. Whatever you do, There will be tears." <i>[Chorus: x2]</i> There will be tears I've no doubt, there may be smiles but a few And when the tears have run out, we'll be numb and blue I can't be there with you but I can dream <i>[x6]</i> I still dream <i>[x2]</i> |

Oh, now I'm walking back to our place
Which is soon to be your place Watching my feet, they're as stubborn as concrete I'm knee deep in the jumble of our lives Throwing shit into bin bags, I reach for the door The dog's at my heel, thinks we're going for a walk And I realise We never been as fucked as this So grown up now we're squabbling like kids Your mother's plates, dashed on the floor I can't keep a stiff upper lip any more We never been as fucked as this Out on the street and we're screaming like kids The neighbours watch, well let them talk I can't keep a stiff upper lip any more Leaving, throwing all of the black bags In the back of the black cab You see I'm not bluffing, no I'm actually leaving, and now I'm sleeping On the front step of my mate's place Cos he stopped there, cos he's shit faced And I realise We never been as fucked as this So grown up but we're squabbling like kids Your mother's plates, dashed on the floor I can't keep a stiff upper lip any more We never been as fucked as this Out on the street and we're screaming like kids The neighbours watch, well let them talk I can't keep a stiff upper lip any more Life's too short to get caught Life's too short to get caught On the shady side of the street Life's too short to get caught |

First few horns and the squeak of brakes
Knock on the door and the city wakes But you, you're still sleeping And you, you're in love Painting a pretty picture How I wish, more of this were drew But you, you're in London And you, you're still in love Fuck this, imma go out walking Rent a bike and make a few laps in Central Park in the dark Love is just a memory Love along the shadow in my heart, in my heart This is where you'll stay, while I'm at the Hudson I'd like to see my name above the door It says we, we're still in Brooklyn And we, we're never in but you're always welcome If you run out of dough you know |

Answer every question with a "Yes"
Answer every problem with a smile Keep opening doors, keep pulling those strings But the midnight hour is mine The midnight hour is mine Please lift your head from your hands Tomorrow is another day Well think about it then I say And there's no weight too great There's no distance too far Keep flying the flag and keep banging the drum Cos the midnight hour is mine The midnight hour is mine Please lift your head from your hands Tomorrow is another day Well think about it then I say Oh, what can I do to save the day? If only it were as easy as a dvd and a takeaway Oh, what can I do, what can I do? What can I do, what can I do? I say, please lift your head from your hands Oh, please lift your head from your hands Tomorrow is another day You can think about it then I say Please lift your head from your hands Tomorrow is another day Let's think about it then I say |

Time is all I fear
It's why I just keep running The quest for love was all that you and I held dear With the beat still in your head And a good book by your bed We will survive Someday, are we gonna wake up A little bit older? Are we out of time? I know that, should we ever break up We'll find a way to make up In the fullness of time Tell me where d'you wanna be When all your friends have settled down In the suburbs on the greener side of town? Time is all I fear It's why I just keep running The quest for love was all that you and I held dear With the beat still in your head And the good book by your bed And as your old man said "Good friends, well you can count them on one hand" And they'll never judge you Whatever your crime I know that, I can include you And you'll forgive me In the fullness of time Tell me where d'you wanna be When all your friends have settled down In the suburbs on the greener side of town? Time is all I fear It's why I just keep running The quest for love was all that you and I held dear With the beat still in your head And the good book by your bed We will survive, you and I |
