Not The Same 04:04
My friend, Let’s have a drink You’ve something to tell me Something to cry about Burning inside Old friend, What’s going on? You don’t want to stay here Many memories Too much history You can hardly begin You can hardly begin You can hardly begin your story CHORUS But it’s not gonna be the same And it’s not gonna be her name That you will hear Ringing in your ears And it’s not gonna be the same And it’s not gonna be her name That you will hear Ringing in your ears Ringing through your tears Dear friend, Let’s have a walk These streets are moving As fast as you You’re changing too With a new light in you With a new light in you With a new light in your eyes Life goes on and on Today will be yesterday

You’re good with leftovers Some consolation prize You play the understudy But she’s the real star You use old recipes That work and will make do But don’t you, don’t you, ever ask for seconds There’s never, never, never, room for two Hey sister, you matter It’s time you disobey (Wake up) Sister, you better Sew your pain away (x2) You’re good with fairy tales Where patience is the key Princess is still at rest While you’ve been sleepwalking You hear all their pity They feel sorry for you But don’t you, don’t you, ever ask for advice What would they do, they do if they were you You’re good with leftovers As it was your last meal Loneliness has become your pattern and mistake too Loneliness has become your pattern and mistake too Loneliness became your mistake too Hey sister, you matter It’s time you disobey (Wake up) Sister, you better Sew your pain away (x2) (Wake up) Sister, you better Sew your pain away (x2)

There are other days When the colours seem to have no place in you I deal with an empty gaze Nothing to hold onto And I try to help But I’m tumbling off my mountain of hopes To sink into a chasm of fear It reminds of old memories that bully my heart Nonetheless full of you CHORUS: These times when you lose ground Drops of water overwhelm you Each time you take a look round No hug can reassure you No words can reassure you No smile can reassure you Drops of water overwhelm you I don’t know what to do Support appears not enough for me And if I let her manage alone I feel so selfish Overwhelmed, that’s my turn I probably have to learn something Taking care of everything is not wise for a heart You can fool it with kindness But don’t forget, you only have one CHORUS: These times when you lose ground Drops of water overwhelm you Each time you take a look round No hug can reassure you No words can reassure you No smile can reassure you Drops of water overwhelm you

Oh let me see another daybreak With the sun blinding us through the curtain Oh let me see another sunset Carefree and hopeful for tomorrow Oh let me see another earthquake Rebuild everything from the ground up Oh let me face another heartbreak Maybe I can still live by myself How many times will I come here? How many days will it take? Sitting on the side of the road Watching traffic And not meddling, not meddling Sitting on the side of the road Watching traffic Oh let me carry another new born Frail and delicate like a rosebud Oh let me take another deep breath Before I have to face the big world again How many times will I come here? How many days will it take? Sitting on the side of the road Watching traffic And not meddling, not meddling Sitting on the side of the road Watching traffic Sitting on the side of the road I need to let go of a whole lot I need to unburden myself When I feel this much sorrow I should be on my way again, should be on my way again, should be on my way again...

Winter's branch stands deceived Earth communing on her leaves Waiting to be like something else Ray of sun struck the floor Hands made puppets on your door Reaching to be like someone else And I hear That the walls are crumbling in I revere That you are still waiting Have I taken you for granted? Beside me, always beside me Beside me, always beside me There will grow in me a place Garden of the things you say To wait and be okay with myself Against the black midnight hour Built in me a quiet power To wait and be okay with myself And I hear That the walls are crumbling in I revere That you are still waiting And I hear That the walls are crumbling in I revere That you are still waiting Have I taken you for granted? Beside me, always beside me Beside me, always beside me Beside me, always beside me Beside me, always beside me

It feels like I’ve been here forever Waiting for you Like it’s been a century Of me longing for you A part of me is missing I’m a body without a limb A part of me is missing I’m a body without a limb Somehow I know it would be brighter When you’re in this world I don’t know what to expect I just can’t wait to meet you I hope you’ll like my lullabies Ah ah ah, the stories I will tell I hope you’ll like my lullabies Ah ah ah, the stories I will tell

Key Holder 01:34
On a Friday morning Drinking tea and dreaming Why am I not this chill? All year long? I wonder how to do To take time, I have to change Some rules that hold me down I feel so tired About the door of sadness opened in my heart I realise The key holder is me And nobody else Is me and nobody else On a Friday evening Drinking beer and wondering Why I’m not serene All day long I wonder how to do To make time, I have to change Some rules, some rules, some rules I feel so tired The door of sadness opened in my heart I realise The key holder is me and... I feel so tired I realise I feel so tired

Beauty Spots 03:27
I want to know this land like the back of my hand An unknown territory to any other man I want to run along the lines of your lovely smile Marvel at every freckle; get blinded by your eyes Swing where you bat your eyelashes Hide under your lids CHORUS: Every night I travel the miles of your skin And leave little white pebbles Until a map of you comes printed on my palm And even blindfolded I find my way back home I want to climb your hills, swim the lakes you have cried Run wild in a forest of hair where no one lies Find shelter in a curve; sleep on your pillow lips There aren’t enough days to explore all your beauty spots There are not enough CHORUS: Every night I travel the miles of your skin Until a map of you comes printed on my palm Every night I travel the miles of your skin And leave little white pebbles Until a map of you comes printed on my palm And even blindfolded I find my way back home (x3)

I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react And games that never amount To more than they're meant Will play themselves out Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You'll make it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black You have suffered enough And warred with yourself It's time that you won Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly sing your melody I'll sing it loud Take it all I played the cards too late Now you're gone

Mary Angel 03:23
It’s a cold winter morning As I’m walking to class Will I see her today? Will she say hello back? She peeked through the window At the end of Greek’s class Could she be looking for me? Did I see her smile back? CHORUS: Blue ribbon, red coat, Mary Angel smiled back Have you seen anyone? Ever looking so nice? Today the bell rang And my heart was jumping She asked for my sister I just wanted to stay It feels like she is strumming The strings of my heart I don’t know if I could ever Confess my love to her CHORUS (x2) : Blue ribbon, red coat, Mary Angel smiled back Have you seen anyone? Ever looking so nice?
