Run
I don't know why you left me here without a face, I don't know why I need to have your touch your taste, all the same it seems that everything is in it's place, I don't know why every time I run, I run.
You Remind Me
And you remind me of it all.
I was sure that it could never, be the way that it was ever, telling on my mind that it was through, 'til I met you.
Can't Let You Go
I can see where this leads it's not a place for me, I can see where this goes, it's not where I belong and all of this I know but I still can't let you go.
Coming Home
Unfamiliar like a stranger, out of practice I'm in danger, now I'm itching in my seat, I'll be hiding in the lost and found.
Fingers on my pillow, scratching at my window, I feel like coming home.
Another epic conversation, let me lie in inspiration, it occurred just once or twice that we could be in trouble in now.
Come To Bed
It's worth more than you said but you're stained and I'm drunk, you know I always hate the end but I can see you're out of love.
Are you coming back to bed? 'Cos I'm not that kind of guy.
Make Up Your Mind
We're stuck in a maze with no way home, I'd rather be here than on my own.
But all you can see is a love gone wrong do you wish I'd never come along?
Make up your mind.
Let's go up the mountain and see what we can find.
Mythology & Rumour
Find the time to say goodbye, can't you just say goodbye?
No I'm not alright, I don't want to be alone tonight.
But still I need you I need you to go.
One last time for your peace of mind, no I never said I didn't love you.
Asleep
You know it's possible that I have been lying all along, but I know that you have too, so which one of us does that make wrong?
'Cos I only feel safe when I'm asleep.
She's So Cool
See I'm not trying to change the world, I'm just falling for a girl.
And she's so cool.
Places To Hide
Running out of places to hide.
You've been high, you've been low, low underground not to be found, you've run away to far away places where there are no faces not even your own.
Running out of places to hide.
Let Me Be
And one more thing if they don't mind, I don't want to push my luck but if they could find a way to please send this one my way and let me be with you tonight.
