Starting Out 03:31
lyrics
buy track
When you started it out You were filled with hope You couldn’t get what you wanted Left you all alone Now you’re walking in circles Or waiting in line Each day in the city Is just losing time If you’re feeling lonesome won’t you come on and be lonesome with me tonight? Are your lonesome ways, making you feeling lonely hearted tonight? Please won’t you, please won’t you, oh honey please wont you. Leave me behind Don’t want to see you Going on like this Don’t want to see you Leave with anything less

Disappeared 04:19
lyrics

Cutting down to size Looking from the water Better take your time There’s changes happening all around you Turning on your side Reminds you of the time You were ill as a child You miss your mother now And those you only half knew Every morning here is like the first day of summer Full of chance and vigor This holiday will last forever They’re gone where, we can’t get em So far you cannot tell Distance makes a difference To what matters when They’re long gone but not soon forgotten We’re blinded by love Absence arrives, like a stranger form of grief hanging round wish it would just let go Just now, keep moving, hold her steady It’s like walking from a mountain top Wind swept and barely thinking What’s behind you now is just a vague dream It’ll take years to shake but you don’t even know if you want to

Going Native 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Everyday, every night The clocks are ticking out of time I can feel my heartbeat Going nice and slow Thumping in my ears I haven’t been here in years Feels like the days, like I’m stuck on arrival You’re my reason I don’t need another why Bringing it back home Cos this loneliness won’t leave me alone There’s a reason to come Everyday, every night At the edge of town Sleep comes early When that feeling it comes, it’s nice and slow Now come and over and shoot the shit You feel it in the water Feel it come and go Every single day

Get Up 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You open my eyes, and now I can rest assured I’ve seen the worst, and what you did To make it through and you made it through Richard you’ve got the time and you’ve got the space A million miles away, a million miles away You’ve had a really tough life losing all your friends It’s not the meaning of your life though and you go Get up! Don’t let them see you Get up! Don’t let them beat you Get up! Once is never enough Get up! You’re made of better stuff Open your eyes and rest assured That you don’t have to listen to a word they’re saying The faces you’ve seen and places you’ve been Richard, you’re letting go and tying yourself to the future A million miles away, a million miles away You can do it better You can say it better

Full NYC 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Feels like the worst part of us is the one that won’t love you more Feels like the best part of you is the one that won’t stop You’re staying up late there’s clay under your nails You’re staying up late there’s paint on your shirt When you headed for the door what were you thinking of? Or were you thinking at all? Oh Come On! Say it You're going AWOL every chance you get All the things you have said you might live to regret It's time you made a move or hedge your bets Leave it behind, you break life in two You’ve nowhere to move, you make things up to do And all the late nights and all the people you, imagined you’d meet All the dreams, left to live Oh Come On! Say it You’ve a different name Depending on who asks And everyday is like a call to arms To right some wrongs to pass it up to call out for more

Lay Me Down 03:11
lyrics
buy track
It’s all in front of me Lying out, just the way it’s meant to be All the lines passing along There’s no words to the song we’re listening to Late at night heading for the shore Sitting in the back seat, keeping warm Would rather be lying in the sun But those days are long gone How long will these voices last? Will they die out with old age? How long will the voices? What does it matter anyway? Staying out late thinking it’s the shit Slugging on cans in the cold Too serious with this secret life Sending through your reasons as we move through the seasons I don’t care all that much People keep on saying the same old things Say anything, she won’t mind Seemed so cool then but it was all just a lie All these details, deep inside With all these people, don’t be a stranger All these memories, buried with you I’m losing touch, not caring much Maybe in the next life we could hear ourselves think Maybe in the next life we could turn around Maybe in the next life you’ll see me Or maybe you won’t

Papaya 03:53
lyrics

Even when you were young you knew there was another way round Common knowledge is nothing when you're just a kid Natural laws are not natural at all You’re thinking the best of the world That is what I call love It’s simple, really, simple, really It’s simple, really simple, really The panic is spreading like a fire The internet’s child is a freedom fighter, a freedom fighter In your life you gave more than you took That's bigger than any crime We all know you were right Aaron Until the end though Swartz was making progress We shoulda let the chips fall where they may Don’t let your thoughts become feelings The panic spreading like fire Gotta run away

All I Want 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I don’t care about the clothes you wear I don’t care about the tunes you like It all matters little now I just want you to hold it in mind It’s a way to deceive It’s not this way with every little thing It’s not something you would have believed It’s not something you could learn in school All I wanna do All I have to say is something true You’d like to be, you’d like to be all things to all people Sit, settle and stare out thinking, I’ll see it when I want to believe it There’s something round here that don’t feel right It’s a way you learn to see

Coming Back Strong 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Was it something in a dream Cos it’s hard to tell When you get what you wish for And you see it right in front of you Living a vague life floating along The life of a millionaire No resistance at all What was that look in your eye Cos it’s hard to tell If it’s an invitation Or a wave goodbye Righting a wrong Coming back strong Righting a wrong Going back where you belong Living with a mystery drifting along The life of a ghost An invisible presence When will it end This easy dream Cos it’s light and full of good feeling Do what you can to protect it Living with glass eyes, sailing along Where are you coming from? Tell me what you see Is it what you wanted? Look a little closer

You Know Me Better 03:54
lyrics
buy track
You know me better than I’d like And it’s looking like I’ve nowhere left to hide You know me better than I’d like Even when I’m saying what I think you like You know me better than I’d like especially when I’m trying hide inside Even when I think you’re not hearing me and I’m falling down inside And now you’ve got me hanging on I’ve no place to move You’re like a shadow in my mind You bring out a spirit in me that only you can see Saying you’re young now but you’ll be old forever And that’s just today who knows about tomorrow? Running down the streets, breathing in the light There’s no escaping you You’re like a shadow in my mind
