Verse 1
I sat and thought about you on the long road straight out of town,
and all the ways I’m thankful for your comfort but I’m bound to let you down.
It’s funny how the same thing that made me happy is the reason that I left,
but still I seem to want more until I get more and then all I want is less.
Chorus 1
Something that will never be mine.
I wont let it escape me this time.
I’ve been searching blind, for something I can’t find.
I’ll meet you at the end of the line,
with something that will never be mine.
Verse 2
No one is as beautiful as a lover that you’re about to leave behind.
No one is as precious as your mother, you’re always on her mind.
Nothing is as prosperous and advantageous as the dead end job you had.
But still I seem to want more until I get more and then all I want is less.
Chorus x 2
Something that will never be mine.
I wont let it escape me this time.
I’ve been searching blind, for something I can’t find.
I’ll meet you at the end of the line,
with something that will never be mine.

Verse 1
The closer that I get to her the more I’m pushed away, I’m sorry if I’ve never found the right words to say.
But if you she lets me in, I’ll show her that a thought is not a sin.
Keeping it together is hard when she’s so cold. If I am the problem then let the truth be told.
Maybe it’s just me, and my idiotsyncrasies are all she sees.
Chorus
So I’ll call her in the evening to see if she’s alright, dive into her darkness just to shine a little light.
Tell her that I love her but only if it’s right, so for now I’ll say take care, sweet dreams and goodnight.
Verse 2
Forget about the lockdown, I’ll drive on through the night. I’ll be there by the morning to try and make things right.
They can try and slow me down, they can beat me with a truncheon to the ground.
I’ll run on through the forest, where thorns tug at my skin, but love will always get you through the pain your bodies in.
I might get there just to find, there ain’t no way I’ll ever change her mind.
Chorus x2
So I’ll call her in the evening to see if she’s alright, dive into her darkness just to shine a little light.
Tell her that I love her but only if it’s right, so for now I’ll say take care, sweet dreams and goodnight.

Breathe Me In

Verse 1
Dropped into a coffee shop we’d worked there for a while, but a friend of yours came over with a consolation smile.
Said you’d found another man, he wasn’t just a one night stand, he’s more.
We’d spend our shift breaks talking and smoking cigarettes, dreaming of the life we’d lead, one with no regrets.
No matter where you’re travelling I’ll be right here waiting for you.
Chorus
I roll around the ground just like the ash from your cigarette, you barely breathe me in.
With a flicking of your wrist and then a quick exhaling breath, I was tossed into the wind, oh you barley breathe me in.
Verse 2
I told you on the night you left as you jumped out of my car, I’ll take you for a drink or two and we’ll find a quiet bar.
You can tell me all your stories, about you fears and glories and all.
But I sit here on my lonesome with a drink for me and you, I know you won’t be coming so I guess I’ll drink yours too.
I hope I find the answer at the bottom of this glass I raise for you.
Chorus x 2
I roll around the ground just like the ash from your cigarette, you barely breathe me in.
With a flicking of your wrist and then a quick exhaling breath, I was tossed into the wind, oh you barley breathe me in.

Mermaid Serenade

|
Verse 1
The tallest tale ever told, written in the folklore’s of old. They say you’ll find her down at freedom falls, where only the lonely hear her calls.
Chorus 1
For a moment I believed, that she would fall in love me. Kisses sweeter than homemade marmalade, and singing a mermaid serenade.
Verse 2
I looked on in disbelief, rarer than the fourth clover leaf. I pinched my skin to confirm it ain’t a dream. Beauty like I had never seen.
Chorus 2
For a moment I believed, that she would fall in love me. Kisses sweeter than homemade marmalade, and singing a mermaid serenade.
Verse 3
Blonde hair shining in the sun, blue eyes beckoned me to come. She whispered ‘nothing in this world is free’. Kissed me and swam back out to sea.
Chorus 3
For a moment I believed, that she would fall in love me. But her kiss was poisoned like deadly nightshade, singing a mermaid serenade. Singing a mermaid serenade. Singing a mermaid serenade.

Coffee Cup

|
Verse 1
Laying here waiting for you to pick me up.
Stuck here in a nightmare and I have had enough.
Cause when you’re feeling low down, you’re closer to the ground.
Part of life is knowing when you should give up.
Chorus
Pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.
Get a little higher with every sip and sup.
I’ve got a head of memories and a pocket book of dreams.
So pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.
Verse 2
Thinking of the days when you would pick me up.
A plain old cup of coffee and a kiss would be enough.
But now I’m all alone, loneliness is all I know.
I wouldn’t be lying if I said I might give up.
Chorus
Pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.
Get a little higher with every sip and sup.
I’ve got a head of memories and a pocket book of dreams.
So pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.
Middle Eight
Here I lay, passing out.
I’ve gotta fever, lovers draught.
When I stir, coming round.
Oh my god, I’ll be coming down…
Chorus
Pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.
Get a little higher with every sip and sup.
I’ve got a head of memories and a pocket book of dreams.
So pop a little cocaine in my coffee cup.

Dying Light of The Sun
03:55

|
Verse 1
It shatters and it breaks, every bone within you. It distorts and negates, every point of view.
You try not to follow the path that you ran down before but it’s too late. You try not to analyse, but it forces you to rethink your whole life.
Chorus
In the dying light of the sun, when you feel your time has come. When there’s no more to say, and you’ve dreamed all day, but she simply turns away.
Verse 2
You spend another night, staring at the ceiling. The end is out of site, and hope can be deceiving. Like a needle stuck in the groove of the broken record that’s in your room. You try not to analyse, but it forces you to rethink your whole life.
Bridge
Oh I had been a fool to think that love was not that cruel, but now I know you can never stop the rain. As we stepped out of my car, I found the clouds hadn’t moved that far, I’m sorry darling I could never stop the rain.
Chorus
In the dying light of the sun, when you feel your time has come. When there’s no more to say, and you’ve dreamed all day, but she simply turns away.

Laura Jane

|
Verse 1
Like a rabbit caught in the headlights waiting for the tire to roll.
I’m gonna get higher than I’ve been before but I want you to break my fall.
Some says it’s best to walk the line, but I tend to walk the floor, I don’t know where this path will take me but I don’t mind at all.
Chorus
Oh Laura Jane, oh you’re to blame.
I’m begging please, shelter me tonight.
Verse 2
Well the room’s full up with friendly faces but none of them I trust, something chemical is building up, I feel bewilderment and lust.
Some say if you buy the ticket, you’ve got to take the ride, but all I want from you right now is to welcome me inside.
Chorus
Oh Laura Jane, oh you’re to blame.
I’m begging please, shelter me tonight.

Chandelier

Verse 1
When my love is all you need, it’s time for me to leave, you never seem to see, it’s not about, it’s not about me, but all I seem to do, is think about you, and what I should say, every, every single day.
Verse 2
I swear, there’s more to life out there, but you don’t seem to care, this is more than I can bare, this feeling, this feeling of despair. The only thing that’s worse, is when guilt feels like a curse, a curse that’s cast on me, so leaving will never set me free.
Chorus
Take, take, take the air from me.
Take, take, take the air from me.
There’s barely enough to breathe. (I can barely breathe)
Verse 3
When I pulled you out of bed, I remember what you said, you wished that you were dead, and it leaves me, leaves me feeling scared. That when I come home tonight, I’ll be greeted by the sight, and all that fear, will be swinging from the chandelier.
Chorus
Take, take, take the air from me.
Take, take, take the air from me.
There’s barely enough to breathe. (I can barely breathe)
Double chorus
Take, take, take the air from me.
Take, take, take the air from me.
Take, take, take the air from me.
Take, take, take the air from me, from me…
There’s barely enough to breathe. (I can barely breathe)

Count Yourself Lucky
04:04
|
|||
|
Verse 1
When you wake in the morning you’re fine, pick up a bottle of wine. Hop on the train but it stops down the line.
You spit and curse and moan, let out an almighty groan. But you fail to remember it’s worse, to never get home.
Chorus
Count yourself lucky to be late.
Count yourself lucky to think straight.
Count yourself lucky you’ve still got some luck.
Count yourself lucky enough.
Verse 2
You’ve not got a broken heart, and your world isn’t crumbling apart.
You’ve not got child at home who’s life’s yet to start.
You don’t have to hear them say ‘did you have a chance to break?’
You don’t have to tell them you did but just too late.
Chorus
Count yourself lucky to be late.
Count yourself lucky to think straight.
Count yourself lucky you’ve still got some luck.
Count yourself lucky enough.
Verse 3
Believe me when I say, I’ve spent more than my share of days,
Feeling low and down despite the blessings I’ve found.
Some folks will never change, they just sit there and wallow in pain.
One day will be too late if we make the same mistakes.
Chorus
Count yourself lucky to be late.
Count yourself lucky to think straight.
Count yourself lucky you’ve still got some luck.
Count yourself lucky enough.

Time Keeps Moving On
05:21
|
|||

Verse 1 - Soft
I struggle to remember the dress that she wore, that night we walked through Forder doesn’t matter anymore.
I said I’d write a letter and she said she’d do the same, but we both just laid there waiting ‘cause we never spoke again.
Friends I used to roll with have began to settle down, making promises last a life time with girls from ‘outa town.
But I still play this guitar and string together words, that might just make some sense someday if they’re ever heard.
Chorus 1
But time keeps moving on without me, well time keeps moving on without me.
Verse 2 - Loud
I wish that I was braver, at home I’ve often stayed, but a man can only be brave when he is afraid.
Every man has murder deep inside their heart, only will you see it when it’s torn apart.
Straight up to the heavens the good ones always go, I wonder if it’s nice up there, but soon enough I’ll now.
Still I hear their voices through the ticking of the clock, they remind us that our heart beats and one day it will stop.
Chorus
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
Verse 3
Sat there on the rooftop just thinking ‘bout the world, how we’ll die unhappy if our dreams stay unfulfilled.
I’m not sure if I’m living the life I’m meant to live, but a friend of mine once told me ‘it is what it is’.
Chorus
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
Time keeps moving on without me.
