All I Want

I was damaged by your love
I was damaged by the drugs that were meant to make it easier with time
It meant I couldn’t sleep at all, anxiety would crawl
from the corners of my room with nowhere to hide
To make you mine again that’s all I wanted
I was damaged by your lies
A bittersweet disguise, you just kept me hanging on until the end
A fool before the fall, you took your curtain-call
as the seeds blew all around all I could say (was)
To make you mine again that’s all I want

Seen Better Days

You aint ever gonna find out
If this is the one or where you belong
Now that your time is running out
Will you settle down or will you drown?
She's older now but none the wiser
I'll never know why
Some girls are always with some boys
while some boys & some girls have seen better days
You aint ever gonna find out
why they get along, still going strong
It's gonna turn your mind inside out
Who came along & fooled everyone?
She's older now but none the wiser
I'll never know why
Some girls are always with some boys
while some boys & some girls have seen better days
There's no substitute for a shoulder to cry on
There's no substitute for a song that you can rely on
She's older now but none the wiser
I'll never know why
Some girls are always with some boys
while some boys & some girls have seen better days

In Common With You
02:55

You build it up & watch me tear it down
but my mind was spinning from the word rebound
It was the first time that my head ruled my heart
It was the first time where I wasn’t very smart
It was the first chance for me to really turn the screw
It was the only time that I didn't know what to do
What a fool
Is there any time left for us to talk it all through?
cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you
I should have ignored all the warning signs
but still I tried to read between the lines
It was the first time that my head ruled my heart
It was the first time where I wasn’t very smart
It was the first chance for me to really turn the screw
It was the only time that I didn't know what to do
What a fool
Is there any time left for us to talk it all through?
cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you
It was the first time
It was the first time
It was the first chance
It was the only time that I didn't know what to do
What a fool
Is there any time left for us to talk it all through?
cos there are so many things that I've got in common with you

In Her Life

Meet me in the Park tonight, we'll find a place that's out of sight
where we can see our future in the turn of a page
Make believe that the world is a stage, we won't have to act our age
A million ways to leave the rest behind
A song for whom it may concern
We're past the point of no return
It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets
Do you remember when you needed someone?
It feels better when you love no one
than if you love somebody who loves someone
The dance is yours to learn again, it will never be the same
as the night we walked through Soho in the rain
Somehow I know it won't survive, memories in overdrive
Maybe I will learn to understand
A bitter pill, sweetness & light
You took my hand but I squeezed too tight
It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets
Do you remember when you needed someone?
It feels better when you love no one
than if you love somebody who loves someone
It feels better to forget, for you the better it gets
Do you remember when you needed someone?
It feels better when you love no one
than if you love somebody who loves someone
I know that you hold back from
the things that you really wanna say to me

Don't Tell Me
02:44
|
|

I was waiting all night again, the coffee count at ten
& you think I understand why you're in such high demand
as if it happened once or twice while you needed my advice
Now if I sleep or fall apart is up to your ungrateful heart
So don't tell me that you're doing alright
don't tell me, don't be cruel
don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you
I've been waiting here since nine, the coffee's turned to wine
& the letters that I wrote, no reply stuck in my throat
from the punch I'm seeing stars as I count the passing cars
up from the gutter to the bar with new strings for my guitar
So don't tell me that you're doing alright
don't tell me, don't be cruel
don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you
I've run out of words
What's left to say?
feel further apart, feel further away
Got me feeling so down
Got me feeling so
feeling so down
don't tell me that you're doing alright
don't tell me, don't be cruel
don't tell me that it all worked out cos I promise that I wouldn't tell you
Don't tell me

Around & around & around we go oh-oh
how I meant to tell you that the kiss I never took for granted
is evidence that was planted in my heart
Too late, it's in the past with everything I couldn't ask
Your jacket like the one I wear, the glitter & shampoo in your hair
but now it's just another regular summer without you
Our love
The song that I bestowed
footsteps on Holloway Road
hand in hand so tightly clenched, we ate ice-cream on the bench
& we spoke about a yesteryear, when the magic happened here
disappointment in your eyes when they wouldn't let us go inside
& now it's just another regular summer without you
We keep it locked behind the door, the key don't turn any more
a broken bone that never heals
this is how love really feels
still, you smile & talk about your friends
I caught the moment through a camera lens
You pinned me like a butterfly, looked away & didn't say goodbye
& now it's just another regular summer without you

I crave your attention I'd only hurt myself for you
I point in your direction but I never point at you
Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter
Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water
I know I gotta, I gotta get it right
If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight
or I'll drink the pain away
I crave your affection I'd only hurt myself for you
I point in your direction but I never point at you
Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter
Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water
I know I gotta, I gotta get it right
If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight
or I'll drink the pain away
Undertakers cannot wait, life is getting shorter
Alligators lie in wait, just their eyes above the water
I know I gotta, I gotta get it right
If I wanna see, I wanna see her again tonight
or I'll drink the pain away
or I'll drink the pain away

Tonight You'll Find Love
02:26

Only you can make a sad song better
Only you will fall apart if you let her
Only you can climb down off the shelf
Only you can keep on kidding yourself
that tonight you'll find love
Only you know what to say in a letter
Only you can make a change for the better
Only you can see true love is blind
Only you will wake up every time
& tonight you'll find love
Only you try in spite of the weather
Only you can put this mess back together
Only you will pull off meeting the one
Only you can help to forget that she's gone
& tonight you'll find love
Only you can make a sad song better
Only you will fall apart if you let her
Only you can climb down off the shelf
Only you will keep on killing yourself
tonight you'll find love
tonight you'll find?

I could have been there when you cried
but I didn't do the right thing at the time
I let it slip away from the palm of my hands
you're the only one who truly understands
I missed
One kiss can lead to another
I could have take time to see
that I'd found the one thing that I need
I never tried to fake it like all the rest
you shouldn't have to settle for second best
Now this
One kiss can lead to another
I couldn't be there all the time
now I carry around this guilt inside
A complex world where I concede
only money can give you everything you need
I wish
One kiss could lead to another

Lonely Girl
02:36

I would be alright if I was there with you
You would be alright if you were here with me
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more
I would be alright if I was there with you
You would be alright if you were here with me
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more
If you let me I will tell you all the nice things in the world about you
I will put you back together & help release all of the pressure
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more
You don't have to be a lonely girl no more, no more

A Double Shot Of You
02:41

|

I don't know where I'm gonna find it
I keep knocking but I can't get through to you
Whatever happened to achieving all the things that I set out to do?
I need a double shot of you right now
(just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you)
So many people try to fight it
So many ways that they can lose control
You're gonna miss me when I leave here
Don't wanna talk about the damage it could do
I need a double shot of you right now
(just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you)
Say what you like about me
I know that that's the difference between me & you
Don't walk away if you don't mean it
We still believe in the same point of view
I need a double shot of you right now
(just like Romeo knew, sit back I'll take a double shot of you. Grey skies once so blue, little girl I need a double shot of you)

Reunion In The Rain
03:40
|
|
||
You came & you took me for a fool
but I don't think that you meant to & so I will hold on to the dream
You've screwed up my life
it's hard to believe that I could ever have been so naive
but I'll hold on to the dream that we shared
Since you said goodbye
these tears I'll have to hide
until the day they dry
You tell me I bruise too easily
& then forget so conveniently all the promises that were made
You tell me there's nothing else you can do
that's just the way fate wanted us to take the promises that were made to the grave
Since you said goodbye
these tears I'll have to hide
until the day they dry
You came & you took me for a fool
but I don't think that you meant to & so I will hold on, I will hold on
Since you said goodbye
these tears I'll have to hide
until the day they dry
Since you said goodbye
these tears I'll have to hide
until the day they dry
In dreams I walk with you
It's all that I can do
Every night I dream of our reunion in the rain
In dreams I walk with you
It's all that I can do
Every night I dream of our reunion in the rain
