I’m sorry I was so short with you in the morning
I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed
I didn’t want to please you no I don’t want to hurt you
Thinking back I was really not myself
Travel to pick you up
From Canada Water to New Cross
Stop by an old shop so I missed the bus again,
More office blocks as we walk
We pass by another fox,
You need a pee but the door’s locked
In the station oh damn
A dodgy deal in Waterloo
Made me miss the sunset view
I would have liked to see it with you
But you had left instead
It didn’t help that I misread
The time that the sun sets
Well it gets dark in the north west
When I’m looking for you
Then I stumble home through Dalston
My phone’s dead and I’m half gone
Train at the station will you take me to bed?
Back home in New Cross
There’s fire on the pavement
Thinking back I was really not myself.

Sleep In
05:35

I would have got you up if only I’d known
Maybe I knew it last night when we got home
But you looked so sleepy laying there on your own
Just for a wee wee while I’ll get back in
Get up at seven thirty is what we said
Before we woke my neighbours - two spoons in my bed
Thinkin it’s all over, your face isn’t red
You’re the one who should get up, not on my head
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
But sometimes when I’m sleeping I think that you’re here.
In my dreams I hear about lions but now I could kill
To sleep through seven thirty now that it’s here
All your sleep talking got me convinced.
I would have got you up if I had been me
But you make me so so nice and lazy
Let’s sleep sleep sleep sleep in

Cold, Numb and Empty
05:14
|

Dry eyes, cold inside
Just pretend to be OK for a minute
But I can’t hide as you hear me sigh
And soon enough you ask why I’m different, I’m different
And I know why but I’m too shy,
Sunk under the surface - I can’t find the words
But they'll come like it always does
Until I say something I’m
Cold, numb and empty
Cold, numb and empty
After the second time of saying that I’m fine
You stop asking why and we just lie and listen
But we both know that the vibes not right
I’ve got butterflies and my voice starts to quiver
You hurt me here and you hurt me there
A couple of small things now I regret I said
No it’s not you! it’s only me!
I’m the man who’s being mean don’t listen, don’t listen!
I don’t know why the sun inside me
Decides to cry and rain all over me
But you’re so quiet, maybe your tired but
Before I look up and see you cry, I know
To hold you tight so you can tell me why
Finally I find out what’s on your mind and listen
And it’s like a gate inside me has opened wide
Finally I feel a rush of warmth spilling over me, I can feel

Heartbeat in My Hand
03:42
|

What if mum passed away?
She’s known me all my life, what if the pain, it took her
Out of the blue, out of the blue?
Well I would need you.
You’re my heaven in here when you come to stay.
I breathe you in deep and all I say is “you know
I never want to, I never want to
Leave you too soon.”
But still I’ve never noticed
How now you’re one of the closest
The heartbeat in my hand
You’re the closest, but I’ve never noticed
How you’re the heartbeat in my hand.
Keep me going
I love you more than I know it
Pumping round my blood
Knowing who I depend on is hard enough, till I loose
And turn to my lover, crying for two
I’d know I need you.

Owing You
05:02
|
|||
|
What are we hiding running around all day?
I’m seeking something that won’t decide to stay
And with it our time will slowly drip away
We’re busy busy, busy busy bees
Out on the flowers; forget you’re hungry
But tell me what is life when there’s no honey left?
When I think of promises, I think of owing you
And when you’re kind to me, I think of owing you
The worst is when I do, and then she owes me too
I get it all from my dad this owing complex
Learning trading love is just like objects
But tell me what is life when it’s just objects
See when I’m in love I don’t want to bargain
Just to give and get back something
Nigh on every time, cos lovers they won’t count,
Lovers they won’t
When you come to see me I never look at you
You’ve got my eyes but I can’t believe it’s true
I hear you coming but it’s a cat on the roof
When you come to see me you take up all my space
But I can’t say “stop” until you’re at my face
I hear you coming but I will just wait
Parallel lines never meet in two
Isn’t it sad they can never even choose
What if I knew you before you were 32?
Would we be the same when we were growing up?
Would we be the same when we were grown ups?
I think I’m different cos I’m more like my mum - I’m more like her
Get another friend
Get another friend
Get another friend
Get another friend
I thought it was me here, but I’m just my dad
I thought it was me loving, but I’m just my dad
I thought it was me here, but it’s just my dad
I thought I’d finished, but I’m just my dad
I thought I could be proud, but I’m just my dad
I thought I’d finished, but I’m just my dad

What They Think
03:06
|

|
What they think - Does it make me happy?
What they think - Does it make me glad?
When I’m on my own, why can’t I feel happy?
When I’m on my own why can’t I feel glad?
Check your phone, you might have a message
Check your phone - It might make you glad.
But on your phone they don’t know how you feel.
On your phone they don’t know you’re sad.
I’m thinking - What do they think of me.
What the think - Does it make me happy?

Feel it Go Round
02:20

I wonder why I get so cold
Sometimes life can feel empty
Happy or sad, busy and mad
But I’ve all the love that I need
With a mother, a father, four sisters, a love T
hey give me all of it free
Well yes sometimes well I might get down
But I’m not afraid of it
Feel it go round
Feel it go round
Feel it go round
Feel it go round
Feel it go round
Life can go by and you forget to think
Of all of the faces you’ve seen
All of the trains you’ve got on
And all of the places you’ve been
Well sometimes I get lost and I forget that you’re here
It’s the times I regret the most.
Don’t waste your life, don’t waste your time
When you’re with the ones you love most

Blood
04:21
|

|
Too tired to move
A late night again
It’s come and gone
My ticket up to bed
Give me something for my blood,
For my blood, for my blood
As tonight I can’t get up
I feel heavier, somehow I yearn
I want to realise
How I got stuck down
It must be something new
I don’t usually feel this down
Then you realise you miss them
And that life’s unfair as we only just met
Three weeks have gone since we said yes
But is it too soon to tell them “I miss you”?

Forget to Fall
04:53
|
|||
|
When do I get the time to talk?
It’s easy to forget to call
Though I say I love you ever more
I think too much about it all
Pick you apart when I get sad
Inside this head that’s going mad
But what more could I want from you?
You mean it all as much as I do
Remember to miss her
Remember to love her
But when I forget to fall
In love with you, I love you more
Sometimes when you can’t find what
You’re looking for - it’s right in front - I miss you
Lots of things are beautiful
It’s hard to see if you don’t look
It’s hard to feel if you don’t say
I should let it be that way
But I’m not respected by your dad
It’s been two years and it makes me sad
Is it that I’m not beautiful?
Well it’s hard to see if you don’t look
Remember to miss her
Remember to love her
Now that it’s all falling down
Little things go round and round
We’re not what we used to be
Why can’t I tell you how I feel?
Really when I’ve got it all
Just now you just called
Am I falling out of love?
Or did I forget to fall?

Why Go?
03:53
|
|||
|
Why go? I thought we were talking - Just being friends
Old friend, why aren’t we still best friends? Time to accept
Why go? If I’m the only one you can tell
If you must go, I’ll write you a love song, let it hold your hand
Give me a way, give me a way
Have I become a stranger to
My old friends, my love’s gone
You're not the friend I've come to expect
It’s strange, that you never call me though you’re so sad
In your eyes all of the love's gone, what's up with that?
