Laura, what you crying for?
Why do I find you scattered across the floor?
Do these words mean nothing anymore?
Laura how can I pretend?
I know how we'll find ourselves in the end?
Just promise me one thing, if you will
Don't let me hold on to nothing
Laura, lately I've been losing sleep
Trying to find part of me that
You still believe
Laura, help me, 'cause I'm feeling so weak and
I really need you right now
To call me up and say how
Laura, how can we move on?
Did you really feel like this all along?
So write me a letter, say it plain
'Cause I'm trying to claw back something
Laura, lately I've been losing sleep
Trying to find part of me that
You still believe
Laura, help me, 'cause I'm feeling so weak and
I really need you right now
To call me up and say how
There's so much love that I need to hide
Hope you'll accept it all sometime
And find the room you need to breathe
Laura do that for me please
'Cause there's a hole burning in my chest
A hole to let out all the rest
Of all the things I wanna say now
Laura, lately I've been losing sleep
Trying to find part of me that
You still believe
Laura, help me, 'cause I'm feeling so weak and
I really need you right now
To call me up and say how

Duller Days
02:53
|

|
Yesterday I felt so sure in my space
But today I'm slipping all over the place
Seemingly thinking is getting me down
I was only wondering how
Buttons on blazers and snappers on shoes
Never do they get to do as they choose
They know their place and they work 'til they snap
Who could want to live like that
Hey, haven't you got something to prove?
I'm guilty too
When the years and the tears roll by, just leave behind
Duller days, come and play with me
The sun's so nice
Learning that opportunities don't wait
Nothing in this world is served on a plate
The life that you want you can only persue
All you need is a friend to say
Hey, haven't you got something to prove?
I'm guilty too
When the years and the tears roll by, just leave behind
Duller days, come and play with me
The sun's so nice
I could not offer you such good advice
As work hard, eat your greens, pay bills and be nice

Raindrops

Shield my face from the wind
I'm cold but man, this weather has me pinned
Am I the calm in the storm?
Lamp posts, railings in the rain
Rustier than they were yesterday
Droplets form on gloss-black paint
All I wanted and all I needed
To me, means one and the same
And now I'm landing to find
I'm standing alone
Soaking, outside your door
But I know when you answer it
I won't feel raindrops anymore
Shielding your ears from the words
That we both now are only gonna hurt
Wish I were the calm in the storm
Waiting for you to come home
When you're near is when I feel alone
Circling thoughts, all in vain
All I wanted and all I needed
To me, means one and the same
And now I'm landing to find
I'm standing alone
Soaking, outside your door
But I know when you answer it
I won't feel raindrops anymore

A Thousand Miles Away
02:24
|

When I feel lost, when I'm all alone
What I need is your voice on the phone
If I feel your touch I don't wanna go
'Cause when you're around I know I'm at home
But the trouble comes when you go so far away
The days grow long and boring
But still I find I love you more each day
A thousand miles away
Some nights, my head drives me insane
It tells me you won't come back again
But when the sun begins to rise
I feel that it shines on you
When I feel lost, when I'm all alone
What I need is your voice on the phone
If I feel your touch I don't wanna go
'Cause when you're around I know I'm at home
But the trouble comes when you go so far away
The days grow long and boring
But still I find I love you more each day
A thousand miles away

Mad Man

My head is bent and my arms and my legs
Are heavy again
Ten tonnes of weight holds you here
And I never wanna leave
I just need you near, ever with me
'Cause I think all the things you do
Could make a mad man blue
And I just wanna let you know
Love me too and I'll never go
Fill me with love for my peace of mind
See lonely doves break through the clouds
Sometimes I pray I could never be well
'Cause one sunny day brings many of rain
'Cause I think all the things you do
Could make a mad man blue
And I just wanna let you know
Love me too and I'll never go
Never been so hard to find
'Til I learned to leave it all behind
And now I need to hear you say
I don't need the heart I left for yesterday
What's yours is mine
And mine is too
And it's for all the things you do
This mad man's loving you

Daydreams

There’s something in your eyes
A kind of flawed disguise
And all the things you do
Are they real to you?
Well you brought me here
So you’re gonna hear
A spoken education on my point of view
So say goodbye to the mess you made
And hello to a brand new day and a brand new you
Don’t matter what you are
If you’re near or far
I know you think it through
When you do what you do
Well I’m on my knees
And I’m begging please
Tell me can I love you ‘cause it feels so right
But maybe I’m the man who can’t
Find a someone to hold and squeeze at night
Stars in the sky at night follow my lead
Fight or flight, wrong or right, that’s all you need
When the daydreams surround me, I can be at peace
When the daydreams surround me, I can be at peace
When the daydreams surround me, I can be at peace
Is this a world I know?
Is this a theatre show?
Are all these colours real?
Is this love I feel?
Well it comes and goes
Something you might know
A thing or two about it, teach me will you
‘Cause I’d do anything to turn it off
When I don’t hear from you I wanna stop
This heart wrenching feeling I only have for you
Before I die, will you see it through?
‘Cause I’ve seen just what I need and it looks like you

Wise Man

The space around me is grey
A foggy field of vision on a sunny day
And the water feels so cold
as she laps upon on the shore on which I lay
I heard a wise man shout
It often does one good to try and make it out
Of the place you once called home
That home is where the heart is not the streets you roam
It's not goodbye
But like birds fly
All people need
To be set free
And you, you flew the nest
You left behind the life that you knew best
And swept me off feet
So find me in the sand on the his hazy beach
A bridge into the mist
A road that leads me to a life away from this
A hand outstretched can I
Follow into your footsteps in the murky skies
It's not goodbye
But like birds fly
All people need
To be set free

It's coming in close and I feel just fine
My head's underwater, my life's on the line
The sun's coming up and it's just in time
'Cause it just might save me
I'm learning that life does find a way
And the things that you feel change day by day
And now all I need is my love to lay
'Cause it just might save me
And though is might break me
I know I'm gonna find
A world of my own in a place that's mine
And I believe it might be time
'Cause I am here with you
My time is my own and I do as I feel
It doesn't event matter if it ain't real
'Cause only to me does it appeal
'Cause it just might save me
And thought it might break me
I know I'm gonna find
A world of my own in a place that's mine
And I believe it might be time
'Cause I am here with you
Find me in a desert plain
Where the rain is far behind and we just remain
On the shore where we are lain
'Til the day when I can help you find your feet again
