Listen,
You’re not listening
So like you to miss the point
My words are wasted on you
You’re twisting the details
Refusing to evolve
My words are wasted on you, wasted on you
Wasted on you
But its you
And you’re beautiful
But I won’t break for any man
Even you
Even you
And you’re so vulnerable
But I won’t change for any man
For any man
Kiss me, no don’t kiss me
You’ll confuse where we are
And I need space to breathe
Miss me, no don’t miss me
Won’t you loosen up your hold
I need space to breathe
Space to be
Space from you
Even you
And you’re beautiful
But i won’t break for any man
Even you
Even you
And you’re so vulnerable
But I won’t change for any man
For any man
For any man
For any man

Tears at dawn betray my sorrow
I’m here - but will i be tomorrow?
I love you, of course I do
But this life we’ve arranged it’s driving me insane -
How about you?
I love you, you know I do
But the ground, the ground, the ground
Is falling down, and I’m paralysed and I’m giving up
You gave me the stones to hold but
I was the one to throw them
You gave me the stones to hold but
I was the one to throw them
Here in my room by my window
It’s clear, we're in some kind of limbo
I’m gonna hurt you, it’s all I can do
Tear out the part where you live in my heart, its overdue
I’m gonna hurt you, baby it’s true
And the ground, the ground, the ground
Is falling down, and I’m rising up and you’re walking off
You gave me the stones to hold but
I was the one to throw them
You gave me the stones to hold but
I was the one to throw them

Wake Up

Wake up as Monday’s dawning
Head like sand you don’t want to land
In the morning
Wake up - you’re drunk alone
And your damn phone
Won’t let you keep the world at bay
The world at bay, not today
So you fold under warmer cover
Seal the light, try to recover
What has gone
Gone
There’s an echo in my chamber room
And I can’t get through
Though I wanted to, I wanted to
Get through
I promise I will always love the one
I froze in a photograph in my hand
My hand
Open my letter when I’m not there
I can’t watch your expression
There’s a code of discretion
To uphold
Uphold
Under that mossy pebble there’s a sign
And its carved in your old hand
In your hand
Your hand
There’s a record in my neighbourhood
And i heard it’s good
Oh i heard its good
There’s an echo in my chamber room
And I can’t get through
Though i wanted to
I wanted to
All i wanted was for you to stay the night
And in the morning you would wake before me
And you’d bring me coffee
And you’d say that you still love me
Oh i wanted to be for me
And i wanted to be for me
Oh i want it to be for me
Yes i want it to be for me
Oh i wanted to be for me
And i wanted to be for me….
… not today.
