Song Lyrics

I’m sick and tired that we’re never talking, loves under fire and we’re just sleep walking away
We might as well be apart and lonely than stuck in something that’s essentially phoney, every single day
I feel a spark and its not fading, I gotta go and I’m just not waiting another day – I’m on my way!

Chorus

I’m eating up those miles on this express train, staring out of the window at the rain
I feel beat up and tired, het up and wired, full up on the wine flowing through my veins –
Well to hell with you I’m shaking off these chains
You give me something but I can’t explain it, all I know is I’m feeling jaded – I no longer try
And I can’t hide this anticipation, I’m turning over to another page and – I no longer cry

Chorus

Middle 8

Well maybe it’s the drink that talking, god only knows into what I’m walking but its gotta feel better than I feel now
I know your talking but I can’t hear you, I only I don’t wanna be near you – I gotta get from underneath this cloud

Mary was a dancer, I never asked what kind
She thought I was a chancer but said she didn’t mind
She thought I was complicated, too often deep in thought
Mary was one of them spiritual types that never could be caught

Chorus

So Mary simply must be viewed from afar, just like the most elusive and beautiful star
Oh Mary have you seen the sun dance on the sea and is it true that you gave up on love just to be free,
Her daddy was a healer, he was glowing from the inside
Her mamma passed away when she was only 8 – an emotional landslide
Now Mary swears one taste of honey is just too much
When somebody is taken away life can turn to rust
It’s a self- preservation thing

Chorus

I carry a light for you I carry a light, I carry a torch for you – repeat

Is my heart much too broken for your words to penetrate?
And if my eyes are open why can’t I see straight

Chorus

It’s just the thought of you and living without love is just too hard to do, in a world that keeps spinning around but it don’t feel real or true and my thoughts are much too heavy for me heart
Behold the worst hangover, can’t quite get over you
Now your forcing me to be sober, can’t quite believe it’s true

I’m dragging on the past like a cigarette that ain’t gonna last
And I’m choking on the memory of your face crest fallen like leaves in early Autumn, how they crumble and fall, tossed against the branches that once stood tall
You’re missing all those chances – conversations with strangers, momentary glances

Chorus

I’m not looking for love because I can’t take goodbyes, no longer looking above cause this hypocrite can’t lie and I’m not feeling myself, and I cannot remember when I did
(we’re flying too high, I’m terrified of falling, what if love is a lie, my inner voice is calling so I’m saying goodbye because the quandary of love is what it is, I’ll never understand why but the quandary of love is what it is)
We’re drifting out to see, void of all direction, no fault and no correction
Is living just a mystery, or does fate know our direction, is there really some connection
Or does destiny call – it comes tapping on your window, it wants you to have it all
But it’s easier to walk away when the devil’s in the detail, it’s more simple when you say

How does it feel when you hear I’ve been asking bout you
And what did you mean when you said there wasn’t anything that you wouldn’t do
How can you tell when the truth is lies, all I can do is look into your eyes and I’m through to the other side with you

Chorus

Ah let me make it up to you
Give me time, I won’t give up on you
There’s nothing else I wanna do
For the record I’m stuck on you

Why do you talk like you’re out of touch – it’s not you!
And why do you role your eyes like it’s all too much too
How do you breathe when he kisses you and why does he leave when he’s done with you, that’s not me – well do you want to be free

Chorus

Why do you tell me that life’s ok, that won’t do.
Well why would you waste all your time that way, you don’t have to
Why don’t we go, make a get-away
So what if he asks where you’re going, just tell him you’re through..you’re so through

I got a feeling that you aint feeling this
You got a reason but I’m not seeing it yet
Your heart is freezing but I’m not leaving it, I’ll wait out this season, I’m not for stealing it yet

Chorus

I’m three quarters of the way to heaven, my hearts for sale but you’re not selling
I need to know the magic number to lift this spell I’m under
You make me feel like I’m eleven, what the secret you’re not telling me

I sit and wonder why you’re so cold inside
It pulls you under till you can’t breath, inside you’re scared

Chorus

Let’s not put a tick in the box until morning
Let’s give love a chance to wake up with the dawn

Hollow man you look so empty even though you’ve still got plenty
Hollow man it hurts to see you sad
Change will come, a brand new season – a new beginning and a brand new reason
Hollow man hold on tight for me

Chorus

It’s been a lonely Summer, at times it’s hard to breath
Is your heart with another, or just begging to be free..

Hollow man, don’t see it my way
If your heart is saying hit that highway
Hollow man don’t hold back for me
Hollow man the future is yours to see

Lost again, trying to find a new space post your love, trying to find myself a new place
Love was when I never believed that I could be alone
But I was thrown, I’ll never know why you walked away, those reasons still unknown

Chorus

But now it’s been a long time and I gotta start walking out in the sun with my inner voice talking me up again
It’s been a long time and I gotta start walking out in the sun with my inner voice talking of love again

Getting myself up again, the changing of this season’s been so long – and waiting around for you has been so wrong
And tomorrow is just another day without you
The seeds are sown but with so many things still left to say, I’m feeling so alone

Chorus

Lost again, trying to find a place where I can mend my heart, a place where I can make a new start – maybe love again
It’s giving me something that’s making me believe – that makes me strong, while I’m learning to live without you

Better off loved and lost than not at all
Better off counting the cost and standing tall
You’re better off feeling alive if a little used
I’m better off left with the memory of you

Better off feeling bruised when you never lied
You’re better off empty but for the truth inside
Better to say goodbye when you’re still in love
Better to know when your heart has had enough

Chorus

There’s a calm in surrender
There’s a peace in lying down
When the ghosts are laid to rest and you can’t hear a sound
Better to still have dreams than be satisfied
Better to fail but know that you really tried
Better to run and know you might fall
Better of loved and lost than not at all

The taste of coffee from a sidewalk stall, it’s the talk of love on a payphone call it’s the dream of a holiday away from it all – you crunch the numbers

A ticking clock on crumbling wall, a fragment of a tile left on Nero’s floor just reminds me – I’m just a shape drawn in the sand

At the mercy of tide and time, life’s just a beautiful moment and it’s all I have that’s truly mine.

It’s the speed of the train and the sun on my face, the familiar person and a name I just can’t place, it’s just the wave of a hand

I’ll take a walk among these shifting sands, it’s as close as I’ll ever get to a plan in my life – I’m just going with the flow

Stunning pictures that I never took and songs I’ve written so bereft of a hook, oh but

Sometimes it all falls into place, we shoot the breeze, you kiss my face and I no longer wonder what it means to be here, the sight of you so free and wild, your face so beautiful and kind its little wonder that I fall, I’m falling for it all

And nothing’s really planned – I’m just a shape drawn in the sand

I was thinking I might go away for a while, spend some time on my own
Do some thinking about what we’re all doing here and the fleeting nature of our time – and what I’ve done with mine

Chorus

But when the lights go down I’d wonder, what you might be dreaming of tonight, they’d be the same stars we were under, the same morning sun that hurts your eyes

Perhaps a journey to a far distant land, still living out of time
A new beginning and a crystal view, the missing piece I’d find – was the one I’d left behind
And when the lights go down I’d wonder, who you might be dreaming of tonight and if you still feared the thunder but loved how it made you feel alive
I was thinking we might go away for a while, so precious is out time

Just because were frozen it don’t mean that I’m the one to see you through

It don’t mean that I can tell you what to do just because you say you’re lost

Just because you heart is broken it don’t mean that I’m the one to see you through

It don’t mean that I’ll come running with the glue to put you back together

Coz maybe my heart is bleeding too as I stand here as a shoulder for you, so maybe I’m not giving all I can coz I’m still healing

Just because were frozen, with these city lights reflected in our eyes, the band all packed away and last orders cried I’m not sure of what I’m feeling

Well just because I said I’d hold you, it don’t mean that I will always dry your tears, it don’t mean that I can chase away those fears..but maybe I could try. Maybe I could try..
