The Fall Back

Call me if you like
I'll be at home in a little while
Let's talk all night and make it feel alright
There is a clock on my wall
Yesterday the hands moved backwards
And now the blinds are drawn, the nights are long and cold
But it's fine
No, I don't mind
It's alright
Tell me it's fine
Not been a day since you went
But it feels like it's been forever
And with the absence of light, the rain falls right on cue
So maybe close your eyes
And I will close mine at the same time
And in our minds we'll leave the world behind
But it's fine
No, I don't mind
It's alright
Tell me it's fine

The City
02:55
|

|
The days and weeks are passing by
I wish that they would pause and help to ease my mind
'Cause all I need, yeah it's free
Is to spend a little time in your company
Just to spend a little time in your company
When you go to the city who will I become?
Will I be kinda lonely, will I have someone?
'Cause I built my life around you babe and I need to learn
'Cause you've done all the talking and now it's my turn
If forty miles seems worlds apart
Then interplanetary travel ain't so hard
'Cause all I need, yeah it's free
Is to spend a little time in your company
Just to spend a little time in your company
When you go to the city who will I become?
Will I be kinda lonely, will I have someone?
'Cause I built my life around you babe and I need to learn
'Cause you've done all the talking and now it's my turn
When you go to the city who will I become?
Will I be kinda lonely, will I have someone?
'Cause I built my life around you babe and I need to learn
'Cause you've done all the talking and now it's my turn

I'll Be Around
03:43

Find a home
Don't be alone
'Cause I won't let you be all on your own
So let's find a place and call it home
Just be you
You'll soon find who
Are the people who get what you do
So darling hold on tight and just be you
And I will be around
Like a helping hand
And do you understand
This is up to you but I'll still be around
Make your way
Seize the day
And never let yourself be led astray
So darling keep your head and lead the way
Talk to me
You know I can be
Another pair of ears, oh can't you see
So when you get home call and talk to me
And I will be around
Like a helping hand
And do you understand
This is up to you but I'll still be around

Magic Carpets
03:33
|
|||
|
I turn my back to tread the track
But this time alone
Make my way home
The tears have passed
Though they barely last the drive home
I left a light on
I feel alright while you're away
I'm getting good at filling my days
But just one thing still feels so hard
I can't used to saying goodbye
Each time it feels so wrong to me
I wanna be by your side in the morning
And when the rain is pouring we can play
I can't get used to saying hello
On the telephone its not the same
Appease my brain
I'm having dreams of magic carpets
And they bring me right back to you
I walk along the waterfront
Just to pass the time
And find that I'm alone again
Even though when I'm reminded
I don't mind it
And I feel alright while you're away
'Cause I know that you'll be back any day
But just one thing still feels so hard
I can't used to saying goodbye
Each time it feels so wrong to me
I wanna be by your side in the morning
And when the rain is pouring we can play
I can't get used to saying hello
On the telephone its not the same
Appease my brain
I'm having dreams of magic carpets
And they bring me right back to you

Hannah

I've been walking around
Studying the ground that I walk on
Steps that I retrace
Reveal mistakes that have come from
Words I have used before
That bring sorrow to your door
Hannah [x4]
Got so much to lose
It's you that I choose forever
If the things that I do
Make you feel blue I'll forget them
One time to sound it out
Before I see you about
Hannah [x3]

Call Me
03:17
|
|||
|
Working's got you down
Oh is this everything you dreamed it would be?
Moving out of town
The months are flying by and I can't see
Who you used to
So why not try and
Call me
Dial my number when you're feeling lonely
Take some comfort knowing you can call me tonight
Call me
Can't jump on a train
Oh no I can't come running easily
And things just aren't the same
Oh are you just growing away from me
All night I'm free
So why not try and
Call me
Dial my number when you're feeling lonely
Take some comfort knowing you can call me tonight
Call me
Call me
Dial my number when you're feeling lonely
Take some comfort knowing you can call me tonight
Call me

Makebelieve
03:27
|
|||
|
Smile from across the room
Hoped that I'd bump into you
Old familiar feelings that feel so new
No need for words if I
Look for long enough in your eyes
Turn away before I imagine the lies
Make me believe it's right
And not makebelieve this time
Oh I cannot breathe
Help me perceive the light
Make it right
Time runs away from me
Found that I couldn't change my mind
Still hung up on the scars that were left behind
Make me believe it's right
And not makebelieve this time
Oh I cannot breathe
Help me perceive the light
Make it right
Make me believe it's right
And not makebelieve this time
Oh I cannot breathe
Help me perceive the light
Make it right

Tired
03:13
|
|||
|
I've been holding out
Don't dare to look about
Should be bolder
But I'm just getting older
There's more to me you say
Soon I'll find a way
Where's your appetite?
Quit staying up late at night
Folks all around me
Living for the ride
Just let me be
Let me be tired
Waiting for the day
This path will lead the way
Where I wanna be
A job, my own carpet beneath me
Foolish to wait
It ain't handed on a plate

Without Her
03:20
|

|
Sing me a melody
Hum me a tune
I might forget the words but don't mind if I do
I'm just feeling distracted and all that I can hear
Is the voice of someone I hold dear
Mama, I'm lost
Fine me the cost
Without her I'll be lost
Sing me a melody
One I recognise
'Cause I'm starting to forget all the songs I used to like
And words fall of the pages of the books I read
I just see the face of someone that I need
Mama, I'm lost
Fine me the cost
Without her I am lost
Don't close the door
'Cause I need more
Don't leave me sore
Mama, I'm lost
Fine me the cost
Without her I'll be lost

It's Never Too Late
04:01
|
|||
|
Don't dare to ask me if it's over
Don't ever cry and walk away
I wanna watch you getting older
I wanna be there everyday
It's never too late to go back to the start
It's never too late to search ourselves and find the broken part
It's never too late, oh no
My love extends and you already know
But if you need it now come home and I will show you
I hoped deep down you knew the answer
'Cause still I've got so much to give
'Cause you're my artist, you're my dancer
Yeah you make me excited just to live
It's never too late to go back to the start
It's never too late to find a way to cure a broken heart
It's never too late, oh no
My love extends and you already know
It's never too late to go back to the start
It's never too late to realise it's worse when we're apart
It's never too late, oh no
'Cause I need this you know
Oh baby, come home
I'm asking you come home and I will show you
