Here and Now

For some reason I find myself
Thinking of you again tonight
It's been years since we have spoken
Since you woke and saw the light
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, so insane
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, still in my brain
Just some distant shadow hanging round
An echo that I thought had faded out
Soft, parted lips, static fingertips
Old love and full of doubt
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, so insane
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, still in my brain
The universe holds us indifferent now
No questions as we drift through space
But there's some comfort somewhere sometime
Knowing I knew that face
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, so insane
So here and now, so far away
So long ago, still in my brain
So happy then, so unsure
So messed around, so insecure
So fucked up there, so fucked up here
So fucked around, so strange
So strange
So strange
So strange
So strange
So strange

Always Around

I'll take you dancing 'neath the stars on fire
Hold your breath, we dive into desire
You are a one to watch, I am a one to care
Someone always around but never really there
You have an answer to a question in the wind
I have a moment not to end nor to begin
Circles spinning nowhere like tyres on a car
On abandoned highways that went way too far
Whisper by the window, stare out at the street
Though nothing special, just a kingdom for the feast
Now I don't think that I miss you anymore
Sometimes I just miss who we were
The trees out in the woods keep secrets for all time
The bridge we built apart is holding up alright
The trees out in the woods keep secrets for all time
The bridge we built apart is holding up alright
Break the silence of this place by being cruel
Break the world apart, we've been taken for fools
The thunder's gonna crash once the children scream
We were in those shoes before, not as long ago as it now seems
I'll take you dancing 'neath the stars on fire
Hold your breath, we dive into desire
You are a one to watch, I am a one to care
Someone always around but never really there

Play It Cool

I'm taking down the pictures that you you painted for me
I'm out in the darkness and I cannot see
Walking like a fool with nothing to do
Tryna play it cool, without you
Standing in the doorway of a crowded bar
Looking for angels in burnt out cars
Shouting from rooftops out at the sea
When the night stops, where will I be?
Stepping stones and cats eyes along every road
You know I've been watching wherever you go
Dreaming like the fool you always knew
Tryna play it cool, without you
I'm taking down the pictures, those pictures of us
Kicking up a storm, I'm causing such a fuss
Walking like a fool with nothing to do
Tryna play it cool, without you
Play it cool, play it cool
Play it cool, play it cool (without you, without you)
Play it cool, play it cool (without you)

In the City

I sleep with the window open
So I can hear the sounds of the street
Screaming cars and late night bars
Lull me off to sleep
People walk by and shout at the sky
It's all part of the night
In the city
I leave the curtains undrawn
So I can always see the moon
It shines away after another day
Don't let the sun rise up too soon
The stars ain't bright but they are out tonight
They're just so far away
From the city
And I know I can see you whenever I want to
Just shut my eyes, through you're disguise, still so easy to recognise
Each curve you've made, from foot to face, I've been around them all
And I know I can see you whenever I want to
Just shut my eyes, through you're disguise, still so easy to recognise
Each curve you've made, from foot to face, I've been around them all

Without a Fight

I'm scared that you are gonna slip between the cracks in the hall
Like water running through the rocks along the shore
From waves that keep on crashing through the night
I know I'm gonna let you leave without a fight
You're only something new that I can't help but think about
I try mumbling through sentences I'm lost, try to figure me out
A dream of simple summer love just went up in flames
If you say you're feeling it or leaving this, then I'll say the same
Drive around the countryside, tell me stories of your past
How long can this last? Drive until we run out of gas
In the thickness of a forest, stop, just close your eyes
Slow down your heartbeat, stop, just let go of time
Slow down your heartbeat, stop, just let go of time
Slow down your heartbeat, stop, just let go of time
