I Was Wondering
02:39

I’m lay in the bed where you were next to me / The rain it taps the window, reminding me
If I were to turn around in the night / An empty space is all that’s there where you laid
I was wondering what you’d say / If I said “would you be mine?” / Would you call me yours?
There’s strong winds forecast through tonight / I lie awake, hoping the roof stays on, hoping I will sleep
The world wouldn’t be as bad if you were mine / If I could find the words to say, I’d stand a chance
I was wondering what you’d say / If I said “would you be mine?” / Would you call me yours?
Let me know

Get It Right
04:28

Leaning out your skylight, a sea of orange floods the streets, you pass the lighter
There is no place at all where I would rather be tonight as I exhale the smoke
We may have no money but stronger than we’ve ever been, we get by scrimping
Talking of what we’d do if we should win the lottery as we wait for the bus
This is our time / This is our city / And you’re the one / Don’t ever let this change
Stay by my side / We got a good thing / Lets get it right / Don’t ever let this change
Now the winter has gone I spend a week or two with you, it feels so natural
Summer walks and your friends to waste away an afternoon, and nights to share with you
This is our time / This is our city / And you’re the one / Don’t ever let this change
Stay by my side / We got a good thing / Lets get it right / Don’t ever let this change
And I could stay here forever, with you, with you
And someday soon I’ll be earning enough to see plans through
This is our time / This is our city / And you’re the one / Don’t ever let this change
Stay by my side / We got a good thing / Lets get it right / Don’t ever let this change

Unconditional
03:41

Oh it means so much to me you know, that you came to me cause you were down
That you felt you needed me tonight, well, that’s why I’m here
And there’s nothing that you could say to me that would change the way that I feel for you
And I’ll stand by you, if you’ll stand by me I’ll be here, this is unconditional
I could never judge you please believe, whether you pass or fail don’t mean a thing
Cause I fell for you as you are, deeper than you’d ever know
I have heard that love is blind and well, maybe that is true, but I see you
And I see a future for us both, and you say you see it too
And there’s nothing that you could say to me that would change the way that I feel for you
And I’ll stand by you, if you’ll stand by me I’ll be here, this is unconditional
Always knew, I always knew since I first saw you
This is it, this is it, somehow it’s meant to be
You are perfect to me
And there’s nothing that you could say to me that would change the way that I feel for you
And I’ll stand by you, if you’ll stand by me I’ll be here, this is unconditional

Concrete and bright lights
A shared history within these streets
I'm on my own, you’ve left it all behind
A future always there but I ignored the voice inside
Stepping out of your house
In summer; it was thirty celsius
I heard the cooling waters of a stream in the heat so dry
For a moment it seemed that everything was fine, It was fine
September came around so fast
Yes I knew that summer couldn’t last
You were chasing the sun going east all on your own
All as planned, but I just couldn’t be alone
Rainclouds they rolled in
When summer took its final bow
And our plans were flooded then and there
There was nothing we could do
There was nothing

Lullaby
04:27
|
|||
|
I’m lay here in silence, you’re fast asleep
I’ve never felt this loved despite our fears
But I know this can’t last forever now
The best thing, to happen to me was you
Your life has now begun, so much to prove
And now I know though my love still grows
That you can’t stay by my side
I guess that it’s time to let you go now
I don’t belong here
We had the, the best times, I won’t forget
And every last minute I don’t regret
But our time has come to an abrupt end
But even though it’s my last night with you
Tomorrow the world will keep spinning round
So have a good life, be all you can
And I’ll be so proud of you
Go out and find someone to love
As much as I love you
I’m lay here, heartbroken, falling asleep
And I’ll dream, that I am, holding you near to me

Please Stop Talking
03:41
|
|||
|
Walking, walking endlessly / Searching, searching on these streets
As night begins to fall, I try to avoid taking your call / Coz I ain’t got the strength tonight
I have said what needs to be said / I can’t turn around now
Can’t take back the messages read / I’ve got to stand my ground
Please stop talking because I’m just broken
I can’t take the pain of all this, now our time is up
And there's no blame to place here and though I'm the bombardier
I guess it had to end here, now our time is up
You say, you say, it can be / Good like before, and maybe
But now it's too far gone, and it feels like we're different people / To those that we once used to be
Even if I had second thoughts / I cannot be swayed now
Can’t take back those messages sent / There's no other way
Please stop talking because I’m just broken
I can’t take the pain of all this, now our time is up
And there's no blame to place here and though I'm the bombardier
I guess it had to end here, now our time is up

May As Well Be Strangers
04:02

It’s times like tonight I miss you the most and nobody knows
All of my friends were here as I host all on my own
We used to dream of a future together
Now I dream on my own
I don’t want somebody else’s arms around me tonight because
There’s nobody else who could take up your place, I just need you here with me
I don’t wanna dream anymore, when I do it’s only of you
You’re still in control, you don’t even know just what I’ve been through
Oh I think back, you got your head on my shoulder
You’re fast asleep
I don’t want somebody else’s arms around me tonight because
There’s nobody else who could take up your place, I just need you here with me
We had arranged our shared destiny
Now it’s rewritten, never to be
And we may as well just be strangers again
We’re just strangers
I don’t want somebody else’s arms around me tonight because
There’s nobody else who could take up your place, I just need you here with me
Here with me

Years Are Shorter
03:48
|

|
You’re like a bombshell I don’t want to disturb, but the more I’ll leave it, the more likely it’ll hurt
You’re like a road that moves, constantly out of reach, no matter where I’m at, you’re miles away from me
I swear that it is true. years are so much shorter without you
You can roll the years away, someday I’ll come back to stay
I’m just a visitor travelling from the past, nobody ever saw me, long ago surpassed
And somehow I still see opportunities, but I will pass them by cause they are not for me
I swear that it is true. years are so much shorter without you
You can roll the years away, someday I’ll come back to stay
I’m not old, but I’m not longer young and there’s no second chances as far as I know
I swear that it is true. years are so much shorter without you
You can roll the years away, someday I’ll come back to stay

Nothing's Changed
05:06

Tired of dreaming and something must be done, but I can’t seem to reach you in the waking hours
I live in hope that all of this will stop, but you’ve moved forward and I’m stuck pining for you
I don’t know the reason I came here, I don’t know what I think I’ll find
Life continues the same for you in the place I left you and nothing’s changed
A slight reminder, and now I’m set off again, it’s like my brain knows better but too weak too defend
And all the words I’ve said so many times, they cannot change things cause they’re stuck in my mind
I don’t know the reason I came here, I don’t know what I think I’ll find
Life continues the same for you in the place I left you and nothing’s changed
Set me free, set me free, erase these memories
Or come on, yeah come on, you can save me
I don’t know the reason I came here, I don’t know what I think I’ll find
Life continues the same for you in the place I left you and nothing’s changed

Reunited

After all this time has passed I’m somehow here with you and
it’s like we paused and went back I feel your arms around me
Lets not come apart ever again cause I can’t go through what I went through all that time
and now you look into my eyes and tell me that it’s true this time
Now we can start where we stopped, embrace the good that happened
to us both when we did part, the distance travelled since and
Lets not come apart ever again cause I can’t go through what I went through all that time
and now you look into my eyes and tell me that it’s true this time
Don’t go…
I look into the eyes that I’d longed to see for so long
You kiss me softly as I drift slowly into slumber
Help, I think I’m falling…

Epilogue
01:45
|
|||
|
…Now conscious there’s nobody here next to me / The rain it taps the window reminding me
Of the time I last saw you on repeat / The scene it plays round my head, can’t sleep no more
We went for a drink before you caught the bus / No different from so many times before
We then had a cigarette and it was time / A last embrace and then you walked up the steps
The doors closed I watched you set off / Without a clue that it would be the last time I’d see you
And so ended everything we’d become / An empty space is all thats left where you were
