Always On My Mind
If I could then I would
Make the whole world stop for you
Slow motion, you’re always running
You’re my only hope and you are the one who.
Standing still
Your own your own
When you’re around
It feels like home
Don’t go making plans to say goodbye
CHORUS
Because you’re always on my mind
Thought I knew every time
But you are always on my mind
And I fall
Every time
If I could then I would
Take it back to the start
Maybe, I should’ve
Set you apart
Cause all along
I held back
I held on
To the courage I lack
Honey won’t you look me in the eye
CHORUS
Convenience store coffees and loneliest mornings
I’m getting by on thoughts of you
Waking up only, are you coming back home
Are you coming back to me now
CHORUS

Back To Me

Back To Me! !
Aint it the sweetest thing!
He’s got eyes like fire and a voice like rain!
We could stick round’ here or we could go away !
It’s all the same! !
Ain’t it typical!
When you wanna stay but you have to go!
When you give your body but you lose your soul!
You made me whole! !
CHORUS:!
Oh baby oh baby don’t go away!
There’s stars in your eyes and I can’t look away!
You took me by surprise and I want you to stay!
Oh won’t you come back to me one day! !
What are you looking for?!
A conversation, maybe something more!
A revelation or a saving force!
Baby close the door! !
Say where and when!
We can pick up the pieces and start over again!
Still I’ll always remember you at 6am!
Falling into bed! !
CHORUS! !
BRIDGE:!
You took me under!
Under your wing!
Pulled me in and made me feel!
I wanna follow you!
This day-to-day life’s making me blue!
It all leads right back to you!
So won’t you stay

Wanderer

Wanderer
Maybe I’ve seen what there is to see
Maybe I am all that I can be
Maybe you’ve had your fill of me
I wouldn’t blame you
I’d probably agree
Maybe I should take the lonesome road
Some people are just better off on their own
But if you find somebody who feels like home,
Hold them closely
Don’t let them go
You were always only halfway in
And I was always honest foolish sin
You say that you want to try again
But honey can’t you see
Don’t you count on me
Cause I am a wanderer and wherever I go, there I’ll be, there I’ll be.
He’s somewhere in between the dark and the light
Somewhere in between the day and the night
He’s the whiskey when I can’t sleep, the coffee when I wake
The sweetest mistake that I ever made
And maybe one day when I’m old and when I’m grey
I’ll think of you and the love that we made
But for now I’ll just pass you by
Cause I’ve a ways’ to wander still until I see the light.
PRECHOURUS
CHORUS
But there’s a line
And it’s fine
In between the lonely and being alone
And I tried
Oh I tried
To make it feel like home

Make It True

MAKE IT TRUE
You
And me
It’s like my favourite song
And it’s playing on repeat
Stay
Or leave
It doesn’t matter babe
Because I always seem
To fall
To fall right back to you
So take it easy
Cut me clean now
Or make it true
All this time
I never learned that much
Love only left me blind
Still in my mind
Are all of the promises
All of the lonely nights waiting
CHORUS
So did you get it figured out
Are you in or are you out
Are you looking for a reason just to breathe
Honey I can’t be the one
Cause honey I can’t feel your love
Can’t hear anything you’re trying to say to me
CHORUS

Be My Escape
03:16
|

Be My Escape
Oh won’t you be my escape
when the days are long and it gets hard to take
we can crack a bottle and throw our cares away
Oh won’t you be my escape
Oh won’t you be my disguise
We can cast away all of their judging eyes
We can let the day pass until it becomes night
Oh won’t you be my disguise
Oh won’t you be my release
When the cares that keep you up at night have got you losing sleep
Cause’ I’m letting the moments pass on by right before me
Oh Won’t you be my release
Oh won’t you be my one and only
Cause the days they all roll into one and the nights they get so lonely
And i remember being satisfied but that was long ago
Oh won’t you be my one and only
Oh won’t you be my one and only
Oh won’t you be my escape

Your Fool

YOUR FOOL
Pick up the phone
Where are you staying tonight
When you get home, won’t you call me when you get in
How could I know
Know that it wasn’t right
Was I just blind
What was I expecting
How could I know that it would take me over
I never asked for this you know
Now that you’re here I don’t want you to go
I’m spinning round, trying to justify it
Trying to clean up the mess you made
You’re a little less give and little more take
But honey I
I will be your fool
If you want me to
Honey just for you
I’ll lay it on the line
Cause out on the road
I know it gets cold
I know it gets lonely
Baby you can hold me
You’re waking up
Gotta get on the road
Night after night
It’s just another show
When did you lose your sense of control
And how could you know that it would take you over
You never asked for this I know
Now that you’re here I don’t want you to go
CHORUS
If you want
We can take it all back, we can take it all back now
If you want
We can say we never met
I can try to just forget you somehow

Holding On
03:09
|

HOLDING ON
Maybe when I wake up you’ll be here
Cause I’ve been holing on to a notion so unclear
Baby, can we back up can we slow down
Cause you’re an ocean overflowing
And I think that I might drown
But if you give me a chance I might take it
I think we might even make it
Now…
Call me, tell me all your best laid plans
Cause I wanted to be something but I was so lost back then
And I thought I had you all figured out
But I’m here sleeplessly believing that something’s gonna change now
Even if you’re a little broken, I’m a little unstable
Honey if you’re willing well then I am able
Now…
All along
I’ve been holding on
All along
I’ve been holding on to hope…

Saving All My Love
03:41
|
|||
I can feel it when you’re here I can feel it when you’re gone
And it’s like wishing on a star in the light of the dawn
And if it is not enough I will hold you so you don’t break down
Cause it’s getting harder here without you around
Oh if it is not enough
I’ll be saving all my love
It’s just the whisper of the wind
Tapping on my windowpane
So you think maybe you’ll sleep on it
But you’re waking with a dull and aching pain
And if it is not enough I will hold you so you don’t slip through
Slip through my hands again go making plans with somebody new
Oh if it is not enough
I’ll be saving all my love
Cause I’ve been keeping my head low these days
And I will follow where you go
Getting a little tired of saving myself
So won’t you come on over my way
I can feel it when you’re here I can feel it when you’re gone
And it’s like wishing on a star in the light of the dawn

Love Like This

Love Like This
Take me
Take me into your loving arms
Break down
All the walls that I’ve built around
I wanna know you inside out
I’ve heard that hope speaks louder than doubt
Don’t wake
My love don’t wake up yet
I think
We should stay right here instead
Maybe it’s all in our heads
We’re better off without it
So open up your heart, open up your mind
A love like this doesn’t happen all the time
We could spend out whole lives getting by
Or you could just fade into me tonight
Waste them
Waste your words on someone else
Cause I’ve heard it
And I don’t believe it now
I wanna wake up up where you are
Wanna give you all of my heart
Chorus

Won't Be Waiting
04:44
|
|||
There were red flags right from the start
I ignored them
Handed over my heart
Cause there were fireworks and sweet words and it felt nice to play along
There was music
Playing kind of slowly
And his hands felt
Like something I could hold that’d steady
And I wanted to know more
Found myself at his door
Now every time he goes
It’s like a freight train crashing, spinning out of control
It doesn’t feel the same
This time when he says my name
He just looks the other way
(but) Don’t call me
When it all falls apart
I won’t be
There to pick up your heart
Don’t call me
I won’t be waiting
Does it feel
The same way when she speaks
Is it real
Does she make you weak
Like I did
I won’t be waiting
There were late nights
Staying up till half past three
And he made it feel like there was none else but me
Never should have let him in
Let him underneath my skin
Prechourus
Chorus
Jumpstart
My heart
Don’t it feel good
Don’t you want me anymore
I tried
So hard
Take it easy on my now

Daydreamers
04:53
|
|||
Did you lose the plot somewhere
Writing the wrong ending to the story that you never meant to tell
Did you fall apart in his arms
Gave yourself away
And I don’t see this ending well
Waiting for that all elusive happiness to come
The one you read about it somewhere, its must be true
Waiting for a ship that won’t come in
Standing on trial for all your sins
And you hope he’ll wait for you
But we’re all daydreamers
Waiting for the light
and we are putting up our guards
and we are getting into fights with ourselves
Love takers
But if you’re sinking down
Then I wanna go down too
Yeah if you’re falling down I’ll stay with you
Did you just lost track of time
And before you knew it you were making a life in a dead-end town
Forgot about the ones who cared
You left them all behind only to wonder bout’ the next time they’ll come round
prechorus/ chorus
And if you are still not sure babe
Well I will keep on waiting
Yeah the world still spins when you’re not in my arms
Oh cause ones like you don’t come around real often
Oh so please forgive me if I’m not myself…
