Tell Me
Tell me, tell me it’s not over
Tell me there’s no other who could make you smile
Go on and lie to me, tell me there’s no chance you’d leave
That walking out that door ain’t something you’d ever do
And I don’t stand the chance of losing you
Are there any of the other sides to me
That you couldn’t love
Are there any of the other sides to me
That you couldn’t help dreaming of
Tell her, tell her that you’re mine
Tell her that these lies you’ve shared have run the test of time
Go on and tell her, tell her what a fool you’ve been
That somehow you’ll stay friends but it will have to end
Coz love could never be the same again
Are there any of the other sides to me
That you couldn’t love
Are there any of the other sides to me
That you couldn’t help dreaming of
Is it worth all of these tears…
Are there any of the other sides to me
That you couldn’t love
Oh won’t you tell me
Tell me it’s not over

The House
When your words have travelled through
Brought me down a peg or two, and still falling
Living here in my head
My imaginings
There’s no escaping
Now the garden’s overgrown
And the weeds have taken hold of the windows
Where no light now shines through
Still I’m outside looking in
Can’t help from wondering
Will there be no trace left of her
Won’t she be hiding in those walls of yours
Did the music leave the day we closed the doors
When they laid it stone by stone
Till there was something there to build upon
Above a resting ground
The rubble at your feet
Settles the dust we breathe
Rise up from your knees
And patch up every scratch, bruise and broken piece
Sowing of the seed
There’s no place here to grow
For the heart and soul
Will there be no trace left of her
Won’t she be hiding in those walls of yours
Did the music leave the day we closed the doors
There is nothing more…
But the black spot that won’t rub off
And the dampness in the walls they rot
On the fireplace resting photographs no more
And the peeling at the paper
On the surface is where it lingers
Now the house a shell that we once called home
Through the back streets
Where my heart beats and roams

Push & Pull
Oh I’m sat here on this platform
And the train is up and gone
They say home is where the heart is
But that ain’t where I’m going
And this cold breeze is blowing
‘neath my jacket to my skin
There’s a final destination
I just can’t see where that is
“Oh now Mama dear” she sang to me
“The road and you, seem stronger now than ever.
I know I’m used to being back here on my own,
but it doesn’t mean that I don’t always want you right here”
Right here
Well been living from this suitcase
Since I can’t remember when
Oh the band has taken me places
That only dreams can lend
I’ve got my pockets full of crumpled notes
And yesterday’s shortcomings
Coz writing’s the only way I know
To say just how I’m feeling
“So my darling love I sing for you,
yes the road and me, we’ve been travelling far forever,
I know I’m used to being out here on my own,
but it doesn’t mean that I don’t always want you right here”
Push and pull the music brings

These Bones
In our double bed you lie alone at night
Sitting pretty in your high chair this easy life
It’s what you wanted from the very start
Nothing too hard
While I’ll be busy trying to stay alive till the day I die
And no I’ll never meet another man quite like you
coz something tells me that you broke the mould through and through
And there ain’t none of that greener grass
on the other side
And no doubt honey I know you’re always right
But I’ll be better off this time
I’ll be better off this time
These bones are aching love
And your eyes they keep breaking up
And boy your body needs a shaking
If to wake you up
From inside
Coz I ain’t hanging round to die
See if you told me I’d be suddenly in this place
Staring blindly at the crossroads of which to take
Well you know I can hold my head up high
Coz like it or leave honey
I did nothing else but try
I did nothing else but try
Try as we may we can make our mistakes
Leave me for dead and I’ll lead you astray
These bones are aching love
And your eyes they keep breaking up
And boy your body needs a shaking
Just to wake you up
From inside
Oh no…
Coz I ain’t hanging round to die
I ain’t hanging round to die

Undone
I have come undone by you
Unraveled yes it’s true, like the strings on a dress
These threads that wrap and bind you in
And rest upon your skin
The way it sits on your neck
Oh my love
The way I’ve come to want you
And how this love has awoken all inside of me
I have come undone by you
Unspoken secret truths
Tie a knot around this breath
Like the buttons on a shirt
Underneath all this lies her
Nestled in your chest
Oh my love
The way I’ve come to want you
And how this love has awoken all inside of me
The shape of you
Is weaving through my fingers
And spinning me round
When the needle stops
And my eyes cannot hide anymore
The shape of you
Is weaving through my fingers
And spinning me round
When the music stops
And now we will not hide anymore…
The shape of you
The shape of you
I have come undone by you

Come Dance With Me
When the world at your feet has been ripped from beneath
And the steps that you take are the ones you can’t see
Will the falling get easier in time as you go
Is it better these thoughts are kept locked
I don’t know
And you find yourself wandering alone once again
So the night it can wrap you like a child in the wind
And the silence it wrestles your bones to the ground
Coz the words in your throat…
there’s no getting it out
“Come dance with me” she says
“Let’s take to the road,
let’s follow no footsteps, make a path of our own”
When darkness descends and inside you it creeps
And despair stains the shadows you’re lying beneath
And the coldness it settles like the smile on your face
Why does hiding still feel like the safest escape
And your mask falls away leaves you stranded and small
Like this picture you’ve painted hanging tainted on the wall
And your skin feels so thin barely see you at all
Do we build up our armour against daggers and swords
“Come dance with me” she said
“Let’s take to the road,
let’s follow no footsteps, make a path of our own”
“Come lie by me” she cried
“In my arms you can be,
Don’t just show me the good times baby
We’re better off free”
We’re lost and we’re free

The Good Fight
You took back my keys and you closed the door
Suddenly strangers once more
There’s nothing I can say except it's harder this way
But I can't be the only one who’s fighting to stay
Gave back my records
And you cleared all the drawers
Now when I walk through this house of yours
There’s nothing left of me in this place
Guess I’m not the only one who’s fighting for a change
Seems we lost the fight when you called it a day
Where did our love go so wrong
When did all trust seem so lost
These lies I kept telling myself it's true
There’s nothing left in this good fight for you
There’s nothing left…
Kept all the pictures and the letters you wrote
Stacked up in boxes now gathering dirt
Yes there is a fool in these words I still write
But fools who were in love once we can’t ever deny
Seems we lost sight of us
In this good fight
Where did our love go so wrong
When did all trust seem so lost
These lies I kept telling myself it's true
There’s nothing left in this good fight for you
There’s nothing left…

Drowning
I know it sounds funny but there’s this crash of a wave
That catches up with me and the words on this page
The knot in my stomach and the lump in my throat
Breathes heavy on my body, making it harder to float
Yes I’ll keep this dull aching pain, that anchors my shoulders
Feeds the need that I crave, to be this burning reminder
of the mistakes I have made
Moon I won’t need your promises to keep me safe at night
Sun come find me when you’re done shining
Bring back the darkness so I can hide
When I’m drowning
I’m drowning
I lay here surrounded by these four walls of nothingness inside of my mind
Getting smaller and smaller this space I’m sinking in
Crushing on into my everything
And no there’s nowhere left in this silence to hide
It creeps up on into you like a creature of the night
I’ve been wrestling with the monster drinking from my veins
Growing louder and stronger
Pulling me under her chains
Moon I won’t need your promises to keep me safe at night
Sun come find me when you’re done shining
Bring back the darkness where I will hide
When I’m drowning
I’m drowning
I’m drowning
I’m drowning
