SHOW ME
Would it be alright if I tried to make you smile?
Would it be ok if I start behaving like a child?
Yes I might be crazy, yes I might be foolish
Even if I found my mind I wouldn’t use it
Just an empty space between my ears
That’s all there is
Would it be alright if I tried to make you fly?
Would be ok if I stayed around and played a while?
Yes my heart is open, yes I think I’ve fallen
Even though I’m standing still I’m sinking deeper in
I’m sinking
CHORUS
Show me another way, show me another take on it
Show me another way to let you, let you
Show me another way, show me another take on it
I need to let you fall into me
Would it be alright if I tried to take some time?
If I had more fear then I would give you some of mine
Even though I know you this I shouldn’t see so
How about a look inside your head?
Maybe you can help me understand
I’m sinking
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I may never be someone I want to be
So many times I’ve fallen
Won’t you let me, let you let me, let you
CHORUS

NOT TODAY
Would you mind if I came round and mowed your lawn?
It looks untidy, I think it’s too far gone
Would you mind if I came round and painted your fence?
It looks untidy, but I think we could be good friends
CHORUS
I don’t want, I don’t want to say those words
I don’t want, I don’t want to be absurd
Well not today, not today, not today
It’s been too long, I think I need excuses
Would you mind if I came round and planted tulips?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
So should I ask for sugar
Or should I ask you out tonight?
Your garden looks so good now
And your fence it looks just right
So what am I to do now?
Only one thing is for sure
Coz if I don’t do something
I’ll just come round and sand your floor
Would you mind if I came round and mowed your lawn
Would you mind if I came round and painted your fence
Would you mind if I came round and planted tulips
CHORUS

Pulled Under

PULLED UNDER
I’m feeling just a little pulled under
My thoughts don’t sing in tune
I feel you washing over me
My tears are welcome here like rain through water
I didn’t mind you listening
To me talking in my sleep
I didn’t mind you holding me
These feelings still run
Oh they’re still running…
CHORUS
You’re not there for me everyday every night no
I can’t run to you every time I cry
No more time alone with you when everything else around us has no meaning
I feel a little lost inside this house
But I still love how the sun comes in
Like tiny hands of happiness
Taking me through rooms I once believed in
It seems that time is gentle
But my memories are not
I need to drift a little bit longer
These feelings still run
Oh they’re still running…
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know that time can heal every wound we bring on ourselves
But I just want to know
Am I feeling this alone?
Am I feeling this alone?

Eyes Are Open

EYES ARE OPEN
I don’t care what you think of me
I don’t care what you say or what you do to me
I’m just tired and I wonder why my eyes are open
I wonder why
I don’t think it really matters now
All my time is wasted - you know I think my time’s run out
I’m just hoping I can fall into someone else’s dream
I want to be
CHORUS
I think that out time awake is over-rated
Maybe we should think about something with meaning
Trying to sleep at night is not so good
When all I think about is how I’m not so good
I’m not crying, or at least that’s what I try to do
I’ll try for you
CHORUS
BRIDGE
If you want apologies
If you want a window into my mind
Leave your name and number right here
And I’ll get back to you in my own time
I don’t care what you think of me
I don’t care what you say or what you do to me
I’ve done talking now it’s time to make your mind
I think it’s time
CHORUS

Happy

HAPPY
It’s just another day of reflection, mutilation
From here I can’t close my eyes
I’m with me all the time
And I don’t want to take the time to need you
Don’t want you to walk away
No excuses, repercussions
I want you to walk with me
And speak to me of love
And what is that we’re afraid of
CHORUS
You tell me you’re crazy,
You tell me you’re lonely
You’re not happy
Well, I am crazy, yeah, and I’m lonely
But I’m happy to be me
You say that you’re crazy, maybe you’re lonely
Tell me you need me, tell me you feel me
When you’re happy
It’s easy when you’re here
No distractions, complications
And I forget myself
But I’m still here when you’re gone
And I can’t seem to find a way through me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I don’t want you to be the pleasant side of me
I need you to hold me and let me go
CHORUS

A Different Way
04:23
|

A DIFFERENT WAY
I wanted to know
I wanted to know so bad
I wanted to know everything
I wanted to feel
I wanted to taste the sun
I wanted it’s warmth to drown me
I wanted everything
CHORUS
But when I cry
It’s for all the things I’ve missed
It’s for all those times when I couldn’t be there
I think what I’m trying to say is
I wish it would’ve played a different way
I wanted to run
To leave it all behind
The need to escape was so strong
I felt I had no choice
But you can’t understand
You’re happy as you are
But I wanted more, more than this
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s what I need I feel so all alone
I’m trapped inside this life
There must be more, there must be more, there must be
But I can’t stay here, there’s nothing for me now
Coz I wanted everything, it’s who I am
CHORUS

Falling
03:49
|

FALLING
I wonder if I could
Say the things I should
Even if I could I would not say them out loud
Gotta save my pride
Even if I lie
Only I would cry if you laughed at me
But you never laughed at me
So open up your mind
Let your thoughts be kind
You may think that I’m foolish for giving in
Now it’s all out there
Guess I shouldn’t care
Can I take it back or is it much too late?
Or have we changed?
CHORUS
I’m falling
I think that I missed the point
So kiss me and help me understand
I want to be there but I hadn’t planned
On letting my heart speak silently
So still
So open up my mouth
Let it all just pour out
Am I breaking down, I think I’ve lost my mind
Are your ears turned on?
Don’t you hear my song?
Shouldn’t you have run and left me here to bleed?
But you’re just smiling
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When things mean more it’s easy to be still
I broke my heart and opened up to you
So wrap it up it’s only good for shattering
CHORUS

Beautiful

BEAUTIFUL
I wonder where we go when everything’s over
I wonder if I’ll get the chance
To say how lucky I was
I never thought I’d get what I wanted
But I got you
Lucky I got you
CHORUS
You are so beautiful and I
Can’t take my eyes off your smile
You are so beautiful and I’m
So glad we had this memory
For a while
I wonder if I’ll get to thank the forces that made you
And every good thing I ever learned
I learned from being with you
I always thought you’d be here forever
It just won’t be the same
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know we take our chances when we open our hearts
My life would mean nothing if I just
Buried my head in the sand
But I’d rather just
Be with you
I’d rather just
Be with you
CHORUS

POCKET OF HEAVEN
Everybody’s got a little piece of heaven in their pocket
In mine there are memories of you
Wrapped up with ribbon
We could write stories
Of dreams we’ve yet to make
In Heaven
In Heaven (In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven)
I’ve got all the summertimes and all the pretty skies I could wish for
Please don’t go away
You’ll never find you way back home again
These fields go on for ever and ever
We could ride on a carpet made for two
Dream dreams of wonder
If we wanted to
In Heaven (In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven)
BRIDGE
You make me cry
You make me high
Like a cloud
In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven
You’ve got to know
There’s no one I would rather go with
In dreams or my life
In Heaven
In Heaven
In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven
We could ride on a carpet made for two
Dream dreams of wonder
If we wanted to
In Heaven
In my pocket, in my pocket of heaven

Afraid I Do
04:52
|
|||
AFRAID I DO
Almost 4:30 and no time at all
I’m waiting for the noise in my head to disappear so I can fall
Into this dream where you say that you’ll always be here
But the world will keep turning as i wake up to a pillow of tears
Watching the sun rise into my room
But I cover my eyes so that I can stay trapped in the gloom
But in this dream where the noble of heart can rise above pain
I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to be brave
CHORUS
It would be different if I didn’t feel it like I feel it for you
It would be different if I didn’t mean it but I’m afraid that I do
It would be different if I didn’t feel it like I feel it for you
It would be different if I didn’t mean it but I’m afraid that I do
All of my fears keep me awake
My alarm will announce that it’s time to get out of bed and face the day
But in my room sunlight washes the walls and sinks through my skin
I know that you’re gone, I don’t want to give in
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And I’m afraid that I’ll lose myself even though you’re not here
And that I know that I’m fooling myself but I love without fear, love without fear
CHORUS
