My Two Favourite People 01:06
lyrics

How do I look in the fire light through your bottle I bend and I slide through your bottle I waver and dive I saw you when my eyes were closed and your body was close and your body was close and your body was close Your long dark hair is turning grey and you ask me to stay you ask me to stay please ask me to stay.

Prettier Than I 03:07

Say it's nice to meet you laces tied buttoned sleeves and goodnights your nose, your hair my passport tears will you be my souvenir You will find other girls far prettier than me and I will sail far across the sea You will find other girls far prettier than I and I will fly far across the sky You forgot to mention how you hurt me just bent over your guitar it doesn't seem that hard to matter broken words won't get you far You will find other girls far prettier than me and I will sail far across the sea You will find other girls far prettier than I and I will fly far across the sky When it's time to go, I'll drop my things on all those roads I'll run to you, I'll run to you don't let me go When it's time, time to go I'll turn my back on all those roads I'll run from you, I'll run from you don't You will find other girls far prettier than me and I will sail far across the sea You will find other girls far prettier than I and I will fly far across the sky

In Your Shoes 02:06
lyrics

These are the few mistakes I've made dancing in your shoes shoes to big for my own vision I lost some part of me in promises and conversations I don't know how I will get it back Cold, cold water burning for the oxygen don't tell me to be still Cold, cold water certainties ungraspable it seems I'll never learn they tell me the lord has another plan for us all what if I don't believe? All I want to do is walk away from you wishing you believe in me Cold, cold water burning for the oxygen don't tell me to be still Cold, cold water certainties ungraspable it seems I'll never learn

Sweet Nothings Part 1 03:28
lyrics

Take what is left of me I am not the girl I used to be Hounded by wind and rain dust me off and share my pain and I'll wait till your asleep to watch you breathe joking around all evening, our time waning It comes to pass that tomorrows not the same as yesterday will you still love me, ever which, ever which which way I've only got enough energy from the first time around but your consistency keeps me tethered to the ground and I wonder if any of this is real does your sweetness keep you lying to me even if this isn't love, I wouldn't trade it for the world It comes to pass that tomorrows not the same as yesterday will you still love me, ever which, ever which which way

Sweet Nothings Part 2 01:45
lyrics

Take what is left of me off this straight and steady I've squandered me resistance fallen straight in your hands drum sticks whittle down to air, I watch you sleep unaware of your powers they make me weak you left a shadow upon my back follow me round, filling my head with troublesome thoughts I remain a girl, while you become a man full of fear and love If I remember enough will you materialse or one day be replaced by some other guy it all pales in comparison to the vision, the vision I have given them it all pales in comparison to the vision, the vision I have given them to the vision, the vision I have given them.

Cataclysmic Words 02:50
lyrics

Fallen cat ice over a drunken shoulder fallen cataclysmic words words I'll never remember sounds I'll never hear all that I wish is that I was falling for you falling for you days and lives listening to music should have kept on listening to you words I'll never remember summer days always end all that I wish is that I was falling for you falling for you wind swept roads leading to nowhere wind swept faces covered in tears you will find the other girls I'll go off to other worlds all that I wish is that I was falling for you

Tortured Soul 02:50
lyrics

The closeness and the heat make sleeping bodies fall prey to fantasy I held your hand in my dream I was sleep walking you pulled away you sought me I took it away you bought me I can't pretend I have a tortured soul honesty is built into my bones I can't believe you are as broken as you claim to be walking through crowded hallways where are you now? what have you found? I held your hand in my dream I was sleep walking you pulled away you sought me I took it away you bought me I can't pretend I have a tortured soul honesty is built into my bones I can't believe you are as broken as you claim to be

Pockets 02:44

Grasping hold of the lose strands can't let go of these moments you are the country town I will outgrow forget to breathe in these seconds all I've got is my head my heart and my breath but all I want is you, climb inside my pocket one day we'll leave this place but won't you come sit next to me please, please don't leave, don't leave You are lemons on the road we are ostentatious poems we are parallel, you are parallel born and bread and braised on better sunny days hold close all these seconds all I've got is my head my heart and my breath but all I want is you, climb inside my pocket one day we'll leave this place but won't you come sit next to me please, please don't leave, don't leave

Into the City 03:56
lyrics

I'm taking my friends out into the city to watch the street signs rust I'll dedicate my body to them they're all that I know and you'll fall because I tripped you we'll self destruct before I realise we're the same my stories don't end gently I'll confess my feelings for another darkness, death, torture and blame I am but a child in the rubble of a forgotten love I'll listen to your stories and then sell them for nothing and you'll fall because I tripped you we'll self destruct before I realise we're the same my stories don't end gently I'll confess my feelings for another darkness, death, torture and blame don't go chasing me I'm not worth your time don't go following me I'll waste the rest of your life I'll create a giant in my image a deity in blood they'll sing stories about me to those that they love and you'll fall because I tripped you we'll self destruct before I realise we're the same my stories don't end gently I'll confess my feelings for another darkness, death, torture and blame this is murder, this is pain, this is torture, this is blame this is murder, this is pain, this is torture, this is and you'll fall because I tripped you we'll self destruct before I realise we're the same my stories don't end gently I'll confess my feelings for another darkness, death, torture and blame

The Morning Hours (Graduation Song) 05:35
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1 A D/A* B D x4 Who were we when we arrived? Sun soaked bodies from summer left behind Living out a sweet victory, we made it this far, but who are we? And we’re moving fast on a highway, crammed in the back of a taxi. The closest thing to family for thousands and thousands and thousands of kilometers Pre-chorus Bm D Bm E Bm D E (E7) We’re living moment to moment, everyday a small victory. I can’t say what tomorrow, tomorrow will bring Chorus A C#m F#m D x2 What are we but the morning hours, speeches of great conquest laid out before us. I hope that you are my friend Wherever you are, wherever you go. No matter how far. Verse 2 A D/A* B D x2 We’re learning to dance and we’re learning to sing. In our pyjamas, with messy hair (but no one cares) And your bodies are close, in the grass circle, the sun is warm our worries gone. Pre-chorus Bm D Bm E Bm D E (E7) We’re living moment to moment, everyday a small victory. I can’t say what tomorrow, tomorrow will bring Chorus A C#m F#m D x2 What are we but the morning hours, speeches of great conquest laid out before us. I hope that you are my friend Wherever you are, wherever you go. No matter how far. Bridge Am D x4 Realising I know nothing, but still being brave. Exposing dirty lies and shifting paradigms. Pre-chorus Bm D Bm E Bm D E (E7) We’re living moment to moment, everyday a small victory. I can’t say what tomorrow, tomorrow will bring Chorus x3 A C#m F#m D x2 What are we but the morning hours, speeches of great conquest laid out before us. I hope that you are my friend Wherever you are, wherever you go. No matter how far.
