used to think about you
all the time
now it's just a little
in the morningtime
and you play out the day
in your tiny beret
and we'll laugh
til our voices are hoarse
and you make my heart sore
cuz you're the girl
that i adore
and you're leaving here
terribly soon
used to think about you
all the time
now it's just a little
in the morningtime.

the distance between us
can be too much
most days
come watch the sun come up
my buttercup
we're home
the heart will take a picture
if i decide to leave her
alone
you cross my mind
once or twice
each day
& your freckled face
so hard to erase
from my mind
the heart will take a picture
if i decide to leave her
alone
do you know her?
could you love her?
i do.

a place with you
01:19
|
|||
|
i found a place with you
inside your eyes of blue
maybe i could stay here awhile
and be kissing that mouth of your smile
and if we lay very still
this pain in our hearts won't kill
this love that we're setting free
will forget about the you in me

the overpass
00:55
|
|||
|
please don't say that i'm
some mastermind
of failed ideas and careless notions
i tried to write your name
on the overpass
with coloured paint & fingerprints
on a photograph...
...that made you laugh
for a second
it's worth more to me
than you will know...

spock's lullaby
01:57
|
|||
|
you, me, sadly
a perfect thing we chose
bluebells, fiction factory
at 10 below it snows
did you know - he's a keeper
did you know - he was mine
truly, madly
she cut the whiskers by your nose
seven times older than i'll be
i got to watch you grow
did you know - he's a keeper
did you know - he was mine
ever gently
turn and press your back
and even though the years pass
in my heart there's still a crack

eleven you
02:51
|
|||
|
there isn't much i can tell you
that you haven't already heard
there isn't much i can give you
that you probably haven't learned
and i believe in you
more than i wanted to
some things we fight just to get through
some things they just give you
i'm just trying to protect you
in front of you, wrapped around you
and i believe in you
more than i wanted to
our time has come to an ending
eventually unfriendly
but keep in mind i believed in you
when most of them didn't want to

sweetheart, maybe
03:22
|
|||
|
your grey eyes
that used to make me laugh
now just
crack my heart in half
and i can't
just love somebody new
even
if you want me to
there was a time
when you were mine
sweetheart,
i guess this means goodbye
maybe someday
i could write a letter
that might
help me to forget her
and maybe
we could fade apart
and dust up
the pieces of our hearts
there was a time
when you were mine
sweetheart,
i guess this means goodbye
maybe time will
help this end
so there's no point
remaining here as friends

we were stars
02:34
|
|||
|
you are so open
and we were stars
belonging to each other
until we are afar
we could of had it all
in another life
in another time
you are so quiet
breathing alone
you were an orphan
looking for a home
we could of had it all
in another life
in another time
we didn't know we'd fall
when the stars aligned
we were saying goodbye
you are so open
and you were a star

cri de coeur
01:31
|
|||
|
save it for the front row
better not fuss it
submarine boy
heaven,
cri de coeur
they call it unbending
we'll call it fear
there's a hundred reasons
carbon dioxide
recover the sunshine
heaven,
cri de coeur

before the morning comes
02:02
|
|||
|
before the morning wakes you
and you lose your way
would you be my only one
if i had a say?
but i know deep inside
you'll be on your way...
...back home
on the answerphone
your voice
on the answerphone
is all i have
funny that it ends up like this
and we lose our place
& i hate to be the one that's
missing your saddened face
please take care
when you're on your way...
...back home
on the answerphone
your voice
on the answerphone
is all i have
when the morning takes you
& you forget my face
|

snow for you
02:46
|
|||
|
the winter comes
with a funny face
pressed on glass
a clear charade
i can see your breath
and those words
which will go unheard
and it snows for you
even though you're blue
hold your hands
in a tiny fist
and days like this
we'll always miss
and in your eyes, a light
i hope will shine in mine
and it snows for you
even though you're blue
she is there
unaware
make a face
and find your home
here with me
you're not alone

when you break
03:05
|
|||
|
put on your scarf and hat
and fall off the edge
to land where we crashed
and break in half
i lie awake to bells
with you on my mind
in the city square
where our bones will crack
when you break
and you choose me
what it takes
just to lose me
we damage day by day
in tiny heart attacks
like fireworks exploding
inside your paintings
and i have this need
to fall to my knees
and find someone new
someone blue, you
when you break
and you choose me
what it takes
just to lose me
you don't have
it in you
this is why
we lose you
the electricity
in your machine
like you and me
in the baltic sea

cold
02:31
|
|||
|
will you follow me through this?
if this is all i have?
does it hurt to watch me fail?
will it make you weak?
i can't stay afloat too long
the water's far too cold
deep inside i died so long ago
but you've kept me in your thoughts
