I see you nearly everyday.
I see you, but you don’t see me.
I wish I had something clever to say.
And I wish I had something better I could be.
We touched hands by the coffee machine the other day.
I know you’ve forgotten already,
But I’m gonna take that moment to the grave.
To the grave.
Cos I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Oh, yea.
I see you nearly every night.
I see you when you’re down in your house.
With my night vision binoculars
I creep quiet as a mouse.
And I get jealous when I see you stroking his hair.
But it’s okay, I tell myself ’cause I know
It’s only I’m not there.
I’m not there.
Cos I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Well I just need some time alone.
I just need some time alone.
I’m the boy who watches the phone.
I’m the boy who eats lunch on his own.
I’m the boy with the monotone.
I’m the boy who still lives at home.
I’m the boy with the ironed shirt.
I’m the boy who watches you work.
I know where you keep your skirts.
I know where your secrets lurk.
I’m the boy that’s calling your house.
I’m the boy that’s freaking you out.
With my thermal flask of tea.
Up there in your neighbour’s tree.
I’m the boy that’s crossing borders.
I’m the boy with social disorders.
I’m the boy with restraining orders.
I’m the boy, yeah.
Cos I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
And I know that’s it not right to creep.
But I just wanna watch you sleep alone.
Cos I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke it
Til we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night
Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink 'em
I swear I'll make it last
Til we're drinking out of the same glass again
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you
Got a polaroid picture in my wallet
I'm not going to tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it
It's an unspoken heartbreak
A heartbroken handshake I'll take with me where I go
And three words on the tip of my tongue
Not to be spoken nor sung
Or whispered to anyone
Til I scream them at the top of my lungs again
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
And I'll wait for you
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke it
Til we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night
Well I've been living in this month of Sundays,
For so long I don't remember Saturday night,
Broken records don't play new tunes,
Except for once in a blue Moon,
And I have looked and the Moon is still white.
And I've pinned some hope to the summit of some day,
Someone somewhere may do something with this light,
But smokers lungs don't blow balloons,
Except for once in a blue Moon,
And I've looked but the Moon is still white.
Rusty guns fire rusty shots,
Leopards never change their spots,
And fireworks always fade to soon,
Empty words don't mean a lot,
And from me thats all you've got,
But I swear to you one day,
We'll stand beneath a blue Moon.
Well I've been living in this month of Sundays,
And I forget what Monday morning feels like,
Blushing brides and handsome grooms,
Deep in debt from honeymoons,
Stare above but the Moon is still white.
And I have wondered in to wondering if one day,
When the war is won and one finally make two,
Will we think not of what we're not,
And think of only what we've got,
And we'll go dancing underneath a blue Moon.
Oh black kettles and black pots,
Seem to fight an awful lot,
They make the kitchen the most uncomfortable of rooms,
Empty words don't mean a lot,
And from me that's all you've got,
But I swear to you darling one day,
We'll stand beneath a blue Moon.
So I've been living in this month of Sundays,
And I don't know when this month may be through,
But will you tell me that you'll wait,
For as long as it may take,
And I swear darling I'll show you a blue Moon,
Oh my darling I will show you a blue Mo

With progress comes problems
With wisdom comes age
With lessons come learning
And pleasure comes with pain
You can only have the sunshine after the rain
I took a walk
It got me thinking
Left foot, right foot
Smiling, blinking
Breathe out, breathe in
Somehow linking
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
Lost and the found and the north to the south
And the corners to the circle in my mind
We may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
My hands they are empty
But they are clean
I'm poor but I'm healthy
I'm halfway between
The gutter and the skyline
So I took a walk to the land's end
Thinking ‘bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
And the pages that I've turned
And it seems to me
That we all love the chase
But once we're caught we feel encased
Behind bars of love and trust
Uprooted by drunken lust
By people, people just like us
People, people just like us
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that's been lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
So I took a walk to the station
Lost in my imagination
Having private conversations with myself
And I'm just stumbling ‘round
And I wait for the sound
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
People say I'm just bummin' around
But I've had both my ears to the ground
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rub toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don’t you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you’re given
Life’s for the living so live it
Or you’re better off dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of it’s packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man’s jacket
We needed a nail but we tacked it ’til it fell of the wall
While pigeon’s pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don’t you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you’re given
Life’s for the living so live it
Or you’re better off dead
Well I’m sick of this town, this blind man’s forage
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you’ve paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, I’ll go it my own way
I’ll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
Till then I’ll make my bed from a disused car
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And I’ll stitch th

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch, oh it dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
Well you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her g

Well last night I couldn’t sleep
I got up and started walking
Down to the end of my street
And on into town
Well I had no one to meet
And I had no taste for talking
Seems I’m talking my whole life
It’s time I listen now
Well I walk passed the late night boys
With their bottles in the doorways
And I walk passed the business men
Sleeping like babies in their cars
And I thought to myself oh son
You may be lost in more ways than one
But I’ve a feeling that it’s more fun
Than knowing exactly where you are
Like a stone
Carried on the river
Like a boat
Sailing on the sea
Well I’ll keep on walking
Oh I’ll keep on walking
Till I find that old love or that old love comes to find me
Well I walked into the morning and felt the warm sunlight forming on my shoulders
Cos it hit me with no warning like a summer sky storming in my lungs
Ain't it funny how the kids walk by they’ll do anything to make themselves look older
While the women spend their money on anything that makes them look young
Like a stone
Carried on the river
Like a boat
Sailing on the sea
Oh I’ll keep on walking
Well I’ll keep on walking
Till I find that old love or that old love comes to find me
Well I’m a stone
And I’m carried on the river
Like a boat
Sailing on the sea
Oh well I’ll keep on walking
Well I said I’ll keep on walking
Till I find that old love or that old love comes to find me
Till I find that old love or that old love comes to find me
Well if love is blind,
Then home’s where the heart is
How we ever gonna get back where we started
From now on, run with blindfolds
Into the woods till the trees knock us out cold
Winds shriek like drunken females
On a hen night, last bit of fun,
Till he breaks her heart in a text or an email
She can deal with the bastard son
We’ve got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it’s fading like hope
I’ll make a promise just to break it for the sake of it
We think that we’re honest but truth is what we make it to be
Well a stitch in time saves nine, that’s fine
But we’ve all been proper stitched up this time
It’s a right old mess at a grand old time
Right and left, in front and behind
It’s Sunday, Sunday, another bloody Sunday
Just a day till another bloody Monday
Morning, yawning, boring, snoring
In front of the boss when you just got a warning
We’ve got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it’s fading like hope
I’ll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me
Just so there’s someone else to blame when it all falls down
When it all falls down, down, down
When it all falls down, down
So let’s get some fire in our hearts,
And a yellow brick road
I’m getting bored of the dark,
We could turn the lights on, you know
I’ll make a promise and I’ll keep it for the sake of it
We could tell the truth for once, see just how we take to it
We could walk in forests and climb up every tree
We’ll build our house upon the sand, every day in the sea
I’ll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me
Just so there’s somebody else
Just s

I'm so brilliant
I'm a joke
My tongue is golden
I'm about to choke
And I'm holy
I'm a wreck
My voice is velvet
I have a rope around my neck
I'm so tired of this world in my head
I am the man that lost
So tired, so tired of myself
Am I the man that lost?
I'm a king
I'm a kick to the curb
I see things clear
My world is disturbed
And I'm a mountain
Yeah I'm a pile
I long for tomorrow
Haven't seen it in a while
