Too Young

Too young
Not to see this through
Too young
To know what to do
I just wanna see you happy
None of this will ever matter
Pulled apart but you’re back again
That pressure wasn’t what you needed
Now I’ll take you anywhere, anywhere
We’ll get back what once was there
And just like that, like that we’ll skim
On the surface
You won’t even notice
Sometimes, you’re misunderstood but then
Sometimes, we’ve done all that we can
I just wanna see you happy
You’re always one step ahead
Always checking to see what’s there
But the truth is you don’t know yet, know yet
And it doesn’t even matter

Holding It Down
03:15
|

In this room
I can feel
The gravity holding it down
Make some room
If things get real
Grab me and turn me around
In this room
I can feel
The gravity holding it down
Make some room
And let me heal
Grab me and turn me around
You can’t shake yourself
Your repeat false starts
‘Cos frosted glass ceilings are standing in the way
And it makes no, makes no sense
You become convinced
That if the clouds parted
The sky would still be grey

Hot Air
03:04

You don’t mean the things that you say when you’re...
You don’t know what you’re talking about do ya?...
If I were you, I wouldn’t do that
If I were you, I wouldn’t say that
Once again you’re repeating yourself, talkin’...
Nod, yawn and a roll of the eyes, wrap it up...
What on earth are you doing?
If you ask me, you’re doing it wrong
And you should calm down, come down, wise up, sharpen up
There’s so much to win if you’re up to the task
So ill-advised, ill thought out, rushed and reckless
Everything to lose, you’re not up to the task
Hot air
Now you’re misrepresenting yourself, foolish...
I would do anything just to make you shut up...
If I were you, I would’a done it different
So seethrough, so indignant

That Kind of Love
04:02
|
|||
I can be there
In a moment
The smell of the air
And the choking
Turn this around
I can’t speak I can’t make a sound
You’ve shown your hand
You can’t do anymore than that
You may never find that kind of love...
You may never find that kind of love again
Is this what you really wanted?
If you turn your back, you deserve it?
All of that time
Gone in a blink of an eye
You’ve shown your hand
You can’t do anymore than that

Recent
03:10
|

Who died? What happened?
This state you’re in is a light light sleeper
But it will be put to bed
And you’ll be right where you want to be
Walk on, don’t let it weigh you down
It’ll come back, come back, so try and see this out
‘Cos if you fall underneath it all
You’ll never come back, so come back and try and see this out
This right here feels so new
It was nothing like this in the recent past
But does that mean we’ll make it through?
Nothing like this yesterday...

We climb in our shells
And wander the beach
It’s ok, it’s ok to feel lonely
And get swallowed up, and steal away
And tell no one, no not a soul where we lie
Unseen, unknown
You know who I am but don’t know me at all
You can’t think, feel touch
You’re all I need but don’t give me enough
On the phone, at night
Sometimes you laugh
And sometimes you cry
All this other life
Keeps you up in a pool of blue light
The whole world tucked away
Just like daylight, it keeps everyone awake
Overcome, overcome
Time to choose
It’s a drug, it’s a drug that you can’t refuse
Sold as fun, sold as yours
Nothing to lose
It’s a drug, it’s a drug that you can’t refuse

Anywhere
03:28
|

At the bottom of ocean
That’s where I’ll be
Looking out from a distance
You’ll take care of me
Just keep it together
No one will stop the clocks
The horizons fall
On something loved and something lost
I go right in
I fit right in here
I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
The calm before the storm
The ground beneath our feet
That once was there
Has turned into the sea
Just keep it together
No one will stop the clocks
The rise and fall
Of something loved
And something lost

End Piece
03:40
|
|||
Never mind, never mind
We’re stuck right here but we’ve got time
Try again, try again
Cos we’ll figure it out as and when
Don’t let go of your plans
But stay the same, it’s all I know

The Lines
03:29
|
|||
First come, first served
I got here first
Red in tooth and claw...
Read the sign and keep your distance
Keep away from me
I’m not on your side...
I can’t recognise a scrap of myself in you
And I can’t get over it
I can’t get my head around it
“If there is something wrong
I can look after you”
These aren’t the lines on which we think
“How are you getting on?
I can look out for you”
You were built to break
It’s not my problem
It’s a natural law...
It’s so natural and all your weakness
Puts me on edge
I’ve got my eye on you...
I refuse you the peace and quiet that you seek
I’m not your ally
I am an island

I Can See Through
04:57
|
|||
My time, here will be spent
Holding on, to the love that I’ve been given
That I’ve been given
I’ve been given
Something’s changing, round the corner of your eyes
If we’re not careful, time will pass us by
Time will pass us by
Don’t lose your nerve
You’ll get hurt
In the midst of it all
I can see you through
The more time passes
The easier it becomes
To let go
Of what you’ve lost

Tomorrow
03:34
|

Let me fall into your shadow
And paint me with your tomorrows
Cos I’ve been told times a healer
And that things will get better
I have fought for this one
I’m not giving up
I’m just not here
And now that it’s lights out
No more speaking with a muted mouth
Cos I’m not tired but I sleep
And I’m not hungry but I eat
I have stood by this one
I’m not giving up
Just full of fear
Now the focus is clearer
So sharp I can see you
With every second I’m still
I think about what might have been
We say it best
When we’re honest
But the truth can hurt
