It's No Fun Talking To Yourself
All you people with 'issues', I don't have enough tissues to deal with what you're throwing at me
I'm watching you get a kick out of telling me, how your life is worse, who you kidding?
I hold out my hand, and you take it, and throw it back at me
I don't understand, who it's a 'competition' with, cause it's not me
All you people with so-called insecurities, I don't want to hear how you don't 'fit in'
Is it worth it, how can you concentrate, time won't slow down for anybody
So take stock, make a good decision
Just stop these thoughts that you're believing
Cause in the end, no-one will listen in
In the end it's no fun talking to your self
You're talking to yourself
Take stock, make a good decision, just stop, these thoughts that you're believing
(I hold out my hand, you should take it, understand)
Probably Right
You think that I have faded, you're probably right
I can see that I have let you down, by the way you look tonight
This guilt that I'm carrying weighs a ton, I'm trying baby to pass the light on
You're all that I have left
And you're probably right
With dreams like these you can never go wrong
We'll eat our greens and stay strong
We'll go far far away, for a couple of days
Chasing the sun, staying young
Seventeen went by so fast
Can't keep a grip, can't make this last
I'm yours, so hold me close
Before, we go don't and out, down and out
We'll go down and out down and out
Honey this, is starting to get to me
I can't believe it took me so long to see
That all your hugs and kisses they were all for free
And now I'm too busy busy busy with me
So I'll sing my songs, I don't care if they don't sing along, they've got their own damn songs
(with me)
I won't do it until I'm through, saying sorry to you
Second Guessing
If you can't have what you want, does it turn you into something you are not
I couldn't help but notice your difference
I thought it was something I said, which you have clearly taken out of context
It's making me crumble, stumble over my feet
But could I be second guessing
Cause you promised, you promised
Could I be getting restless
So why you turning this round on me?
Why won't you let me fly
The glass burns through, you watch me try, I used to be so open, broken now I am
So soon you're jumping ship
There's smoke and ash where once was lit
You were happy in trapping me, in your games
And now you've let me go
I am no use now, am no use
No second guessing
So why you turning this round on me
The moment someone answers your song
It's like you can't hear me now
No more waiting for me to feed you stories
For you to break down, for you to break down
You're not a heartbreaker
I wouldn't give you the satisfaction
It's like we're strangers
Can't break me down
Second guessing
You promised you promised
Could I be getting restless
No more waiting for me, no more waiting for
No more waiting, you can't break me down
Alive
I've been high all my life, with dreams of escape, grab my little green cape and I'm home
Maybe I've been here too long, where's my real world gone, where we used to have fun, it's time to think that
I might be overdoing it, and I
Everyday, everyday, every day's the same, so I need you to show me I'm alive
I'm alive
This is only a phase, we'll see better days, go travelling the world, have a boy and a girl
This battle can be won; we might even have fun, as we dance through life's race at our own busy pace
It feels so real, it's a family and
One day, I'll take more responsibilities and
I'll make, I'll wake, wake up happily
Want this more cause I'm alive
I'll go anywhere you want me to, it feels like there's nothing to, this road, we lead
We'll build foundations together, jump hurdles when weathered oh I am alive
And the hills they can talk
They won't move until they're sure
They can keep grabbing straws
I'll go anywhere you want me to
Quick Fixes
This house is a hospital, and this time it's terminal
We waste away the best days of our lives
Playstations and DVDs, these quick fixes meet easy needs
Prescribe absence to heal our lies again again
How many times will you try this time
How many times will you cross the line
We waste away the best days of our lives
And all I want, all I want
A little place that I can go, a little place to call my home
Cause we've got no time, we've got no
We've got no time, to waste
Be quiet and close your eyes, this silence's your surprise
Cause we've got no time, we've got no
We've got no time to waste
The Silence To Come
(You wait for the silence to come)
Maybe it's because I'm sat here being, so bored I'm, I'm so bored I'm
Maybe it's because I know you need me, so much more, so much more I
And I can't believe what's going on
(I wanna get away)
You wait, you wait for the silence to come
Sometimes I think you should just calm down and breathe right
(and you wait for)
Looking back I don't think much of you
Throwaway, yesterday, burning bridges
You think you've got away thinking you're so, so clever, but you're no better
And all the handclaps are fading for you now
Not gonna wait, no waiting for this ink to dry out to say
Sometimes I think you should just calm down and breathe right
(and you wait for)
Even if I wonder about your fight, can we make it right
You can say, you're busy you can't get away
It's over
You can wait, but we're not waiting anymore
For the silence to come
(maybe it's because I'm sat here being bored)
