SAY YOU’LL STAY

Bite the bullet, try to run Watch the daylight come undone
And say you'll stay I gotta hope, I gotta know
Gotta leave this window open so you'll stay Come on and stay
Step inside the cool dim light Tell me that you'll stay tonight, you'll stay
Would you climb inside and stay
Say you'll stay with me tonight Say you'll hold me all the while
Say you'll stay with me tonight Tonight, tonight
Ride the rhythm, feel the beat
Watch the moonlight start to creep And say you'll stay
Well that good old grapevine Always seems to find a way
To say all the things I'm too afraid Would you come on up and stay
Look outside the window dear Dream of getting out of here, but stay
Would you creep inside and stay yeah
Stop trying not to feel this way Stop listening to what they say
We've heard it before Well not this time
Cos I've heard it all before But I'm not listening anymore
Cos you still seem to bring me back to life Would you bring me back to life
So say you’ll stay
Say you'll stay right here with me tonight
Say you’re gonna hold me til the morning light Say you'll say you'll stay with me tonight
This time we can try to make it right
This time say you'll stay with me tonight This time we can try to make it right
Say you'll stay, say you'll fight
Say you'll be with me tonight Say you will, say we'll try
Say you feel it, say you might Say you'll stay

BLEED

Wake yourself in the middle of the night again
Too tired to sleep and too alone to pray
Who knows tomorrow What the sky is gonna give 
And are we too blind to see the rain For what it is
And it’s a matter of fact
You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
You’re gonna have to leave sometimes
You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
All wired up to the beat of this restless room Too tired to sleep, too proud to just look at you
And you say time will never heal us Time is just a lonely word
But are we too blind the see the scars For what they’re worth
And it’s a matter of fact
You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes And it’s a matter of fact
You’re gonna have to leave sometimes You’re gonna have to grieve sometimes
You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
Don't you say you’re losing Don't say you’re tired of holding on
Don't you say you’re letting go Cos the hurt becomes the scar
That leaves you dreaming in the dark
But you’re gonna have to bleed sometimes You’re gonna have to leave sometimes
You’re gonna have to bend sometimes It's gonna have to end sometimes
When there's no turning back <
You’re gonna have to ache sometimes Be the one to break sometimes
You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
You’re gonna have to, Bleed sometimes

PERFECT DRIVE

What is one man in a battle
What is one cry in the night What is one unjust decision
With so many more to fight What is one hour in a lifetime
Or just one moment to a week One second of conviction <
For one tangible belief
And you know, and you know
You can look the other way Try to find the words to say
See the darkness fall to grey You can turn your head away
You can look the other way See the things you wanna see
But you can never say you didn't know You can never say you didn't know
Again
What is one tear in a million What is one face in the crowd
What is one more song for justice When already it’s just so loud
What is one light on the water One beacon in the mist
One signal on the shoreline When the weary ship comes in
I've been working the numbers
In my head You don't need a ticket
To count the dead
One is who choose to be

SATELLITES

My eyes are too tired to cry so I'll just stare
My feet are too cold to step so I'll stay right here
My hand’s too numb to feel you there
Heart’s too hard to really care Ears too shot to listen or to hear
Sunlight threw me away
I get in lost the day Only the satellites can see
Only the satellites can see You and me
Naked in the night
My head’s too heavy to hold this tune tonight My bones too hollow to hold up this disguise
My words too tired to come out right Kiss too dry, tongue too tied
Take off yours and I'll take off mine
We're showing off our broken hearts Exposing everything we are
Take off yours and I'll take off mine
Only the satellites can see Only the satellites can see

Hold me close my darling Let me feel you there
And in the hopeful promise of tomorrow I will be right here
Say you'll stay my darling
Hold me in your stare And in the broken shadow of the morning
I will be right here
 

MUMS AND DADS
On Queen Street next to King Street
If memories made a sound Twenty-six and Twenty-four
Left all their windows down As summer brings a splendid thing
So winter brings the cold And mums and dads with funny fads
That seem so long ago
I found you there on Watling Street In a dusty tartan bag
I'm so glad she gave you up You came to me instead
We exchanged opinions And you grew to be my all
And mums and dads with tender lads Hold concerts on the lawn
Walking up long driveways
With Stacey in the sun I really love to go there
To the places we've begun But we all change and we all grow
And we all come to be Mums and dads with families clad
In urban finery
Oh how we begun And I remember every
Single January Singing just for fun
Simple melodies The funny things we'd say
When no one knew That no one knew
The way
If kings are made for kingdoms And queens are made for kings
Little prince’s got a full hand Of memories to sing
On Queen Street next to King Street Are the castles in the sun
Twenty-six and Twenty-four The place it all begun
And mums and dads vAnd plans you had Of two becoming one

Why sometimes Do I wake up feeling down
Was it something that I dreamed And I can’t remember now
Give me a reason For not falling back to sleep
Cos I woke this way before Think I'd rather disappear
As we wander through
These strands of morning light
Why sometimes Do I wake before the dawn
Singing mysteries of my soul Misunderstanding my own voice
It’s a something or a rather past 11am About an hour thirty five
Since I got out of bed And I'm tired again
It seems I’m lacking in symptoms of life
As we wander through These strands of morning light
There must be something more
Than tired moments I've been living for How could I just ignore|
That I’m not alone When there's no one home
Why sometimes
Do I wake up feeling fine Is there something in the air
Or is this game a frame of mind
Oh, no I’m not alone No I’m not alone
There must be something more
Than tired moments I've been living for How could I just ignore
That I’m not alone No I’m not alone
As we're walking down
These streets of life We wander through
These strands of morning light With you
I’m with you
 
FALLING FORWARD
Every single step that I take
Leaves me a little more dry A little more through
A little more less like you And all I want is you
When every single word that I say Leaves me with one more second I regret
One more stupid thing I said And all I want is you
Oh I’m still falling forward
Oh I’m still fumbling on I’m still falling forward
In my lowest lows My dependence grows
For you
It seems every single step that I take Leaves me a little more dry
A little less new A little bit more not like you
And all I want is you And every single morning that I wake
Leads me to one more turn I shouldn't have made
One more day One more mistake
Let’s just sit around tonight
Let’s just watch the world float by And we can learn to lose
While we're holding on tight And fly
And every single word that you say
Leaves me with one more smile to ride this face One more incentive to get through the day
One more vision one more truth My every foot forward is found in you

You look as pretty as the sunrise
Wearing the heat of the day
Reruns and dreams All pulled at the seams
Some things are better that way
You never said you were leaving Never expected you'd stay
A memory or two And the things we go through
And all that is left is today
So baby please, sing me to sleep Watch me drift slowly away
As bodies lay in the heat of the day Kiss me like I’m seventeen again
Oh so many choices I've chosen
Some that have lead me to fall Drenched in all sorts
Of questions and thoughts Time has now taken them all

On such a night as this You feel so right
And any thing's believable In the quiet of the night
The coolness of the crystal breeze Complements the heat
And some place in the darkness He is hers and she is his
On such a night as this
On such a night as this There's nothing in the way
And the words you end up saying Are just the ones you hoped you'd say
And the night is still between us And our fingers touch the moon
And some place in the shadows He is hers and she is his
On such a night as this
All my fears, things I've come to miss Meet me here in this midnight kiss
All is lost, in our brokenness When he is hers and she is his
On such a night as this
When everybody's trying to beat something When everybody's angling to win
But under all the madness He is hers and she is his
On such a night as this

Outside the door are the empty, the poor
Are the lives that are living no more Some of them grievers or broken believers
Or used in some meaningless war Go see for yourself if you think it'll help
But I just cannot go there no more Oh Lord, I will not go outside the door
Down on the street there's a rhythm, a beat
You get caught up, you'll never get free A humming of heat to a strumming of feet
You forget who you wanted to be And under the madness an echoing sadness
That whispers you'll never be free Oh Lord, I will not go down on the street
Out into the city, the gruesome, the gritty
The lovers, livers and lonely Away from my eyes in the thick fog, the cries
Of the bleeding, broken and breaking Your name there is nothing, the street signs are bluffing
They'll put you wherever they please Oh Lord, I will not go into the city
I’m already jaded
Already I'm faded There's nothing to learn or to know
Oh Lord, I will not go
Under the bridge there, the shadowy ridge there That hides and is keeping us hid
Where nothing is growing nor sunlight is showing Or shining on all that we did
And the rumble of cars that goes bellowing past They're just running away with the wind
Oh Lord, I will not go under the bridge
Out into the battle, they lead you like cattle And even they got their own laws
You won’t be locked up there, nor shot or shocked up there For shooting a man to the floor
They train you and break you, and re-educate you But won’t tell you why or what for
Oh Lord, I will not go into the war
Up into the sky where the great engines fly Where they throw you and roll you like dice
We've conquered the moon with explosions and fumes We have conquered the universe high
But looking back down there's a reasoning sound That says nobody gets out alive
Oh Lord, I will not go into sky
There's no one around Just the beckoning sound
Here on the ground we are lost, we are found
We are lonely, we're spinning around Away from the crowds and the armies of clowns
Away from the carnival sounds And out of the deep where the tectonic sleeps
And darkness will follow you down
Oh Lord, just let me stay here on the ground
