leaving, coming back to what I know
slowly, slowly don't ever let it show
leaving, ain't this all we ever known
slowly, just let it go
tell me you don't
say if I won't
say, cause your love is as good as none
tell me you will
tell me you can
say, cause your love is as good as none
say if I don't
say if your not
say, cause your love is as good as none
say if you will
say if I can
say, cause your love is as good as none
leaving, going back to what I know
slowly, dreams will come and go
say if I don't
say if your not
say, cause your love is as good as none
say if you will
say if I can
say, cause your love is as good as none
say if I don't
say if your not
say, cause your love is as good as none
say if you will
say if I can
say, cause your love is as good as none

I wanna jump out of bed and reach the stars,
And line the universe with the sweetest bars,
Experience places that seem so far,
And realise no matter where you’ve been or are,
We’re all just people trying to seize our part...
In life - living for what feeds our hearts,
Graffiti painters everywhere are breathing art,
Others live for the fast-life - competing cars,
Or try and make a living when the streets are dark,
Some live for their children - to see their spark,
Others recognise love when they’ve been apart,
Sometimes dreaming’s hard - you feel closed in,
Like striving’s a waste - you know you won’t win,
Cold and frozen - and your flow’s gone
Need someone to confide in but there’s no-one,
I’ve been there but i recognise that hope’s strong,
I want to feel so much bigger than this
I want to feel like each minute living is bliss
Life is a journey with a million twists,
The confusion, the hurt and the brilliant bits,
I want to sink into this world i’ve created,
And not think how the world was created,
Some are struggling for one payslip,
We spend millions on building a spaceship,
Let’s face it - we’re all confused now,
Build our own paradise - play our tunes loud,
Write lines - have to try just to move crowds,
Philosophise - figuring the truth out,
We move round - try to improve our vision,
Imprint our soul in the tunes that we’ve written,
Prove we want more than consumer addiction,
I need meaning else my future is fiction.

Oo oh, Oo oh, Oo oh (2x)
Lying here next to you it’s plain
All of our yellow’s turning grey
A secret that I’ve tried to keep
Is making it hard for me to sleep
I wanna feel the same
Don’t want to cause more pain
I never meant to stray
Wish I could take back the day
Oo oh, Oo oh, Oo oh… (2x)
(Don’t walk away)
Walkin’ around in such a daze (…Murderer)
Can’t think of one more move to play
Suddenly sun gives way to rain (I surrender)
Wish it could wash this stain away
I wanna feel the same
Don’t want to cause more pain, babe
Don’t look at me that way
Wish I could take back the day (2x)
Don’t walk away – I’ll do anything to stay
Don’t walk away – I’ll do anything you say
Don’t walk away – Please don’t let us end this way
Don’t walk away…
Oo oh, Oo oh, Oo oh (3x)

Had to push up on it cos I didn't know, what you did to me
Had to hush up on it so it didn't show
Once it had been started I just didn't know, what you did to me
Once it had departed I just couldn't show
It's just another short day it's happened over again
A repetitive strain glistens in my head
The day to day is when we say this
But we hate the ways in which life changes
Kind of in the same way, it's happened over again
Life can flip and turn it's back on you instead
The back and forth is what we choose for,
The next, oblivious yet so sure
Say what you want if it's 'so so'
Take what you need if it's 'no no'
Darlin' I tried but I didn't forget,
What you did to disturb my 'mojo' (x4)
Now it's on,
The transaction's over
Now it's on
One thing less to cover
Had to push up on it, had to hush up on it...

Closer (feat Anna Stott)

I spoke too soon
Laying in my room
My head touched down
Feelin like I wanna frown
This Ain’t love, it’s some kind of love
Makes me feel like a child
So come and step to me
Come on come on come on come on
Come closer
This is where you wanna be
Move Closer
Taking it slowly let me set you free
So now you see
What it feels like with me
And I’m not takin “no” for an answer
Just please me
You and me together
We could even fly away
Got lots to gain, release the pain
Just tell me what you say
And I’m not takin “no” for an answer
Just please me
Let me, set you free

ee through my eyes. Caught up in games I pretended to play.
But deceit finds us all in the night or the day.
Weaving bittersweet tales from unreliable thread.
The fibres entwine, the story is set.
It’s a fine balance we tread, we teeter on the brink.
It’s a fine balance we tread.
Bring about an equilibrium, high above the crowded din.
Where truthful solace bathes our eyes
and pilgrims come to soothe their sighs.
Creativity was lost in swirling seas on coral reefs
Trapped secretly,
We lost ourselves in the deep
We lost ourselves in the deep
We lost our..
It’s a fine balance we tread we teeter on the brink
It’s a fine balance we tread
We we we we we we we tread
We tread.

You blow my mind
How did you find me again…me again
I was so blind
Could not imagine us then…just a friend
You’ve always been right by my side
You never left although I tried
You blow my mind
How did you find me again…me again
You blow my mind
Ee-yo oh, ee-yo oh
You tested time
Let me go, so I’d know
You free me
Believe me…oh, oh
You free me
Believe me…oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You are my, education
Now I need to share this with you
What I have learned
Blows me away
Comprehending the words I should say
This time, I know
Got to be strong, got to be wise, Don’t sacrifice
This time, I know
Got to be strong, got to be wise, don’t sacrifice, no.
You are my, intuition
Listening for the sounds left behind
Masterfully, taking me away,
To a Place where you and me should stay
Actions speak louder than words
Be strong
Be wise
Value yourself
And just realise
