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

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

I Know You

You remind me
Of how much, I’ve given up
I’ve given up
In the light of, this evening
I can’t ask for more
I can’t ask for more
We can sit around, and talk
Just like we used to
Like we used to
As our faces, get older
I still know you
There’s a kind
Of sea
That holds me
That holds me
And makes me feel free
Not young anymore
But we try
To keep that feeling
Alive
And all this space
And all this life
Will still be here
Still be here
I wanna live a life
That loves

Hot Air

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

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

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

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
