I don't believe in bad luck
It's Friday the 13th well I don't give a fuck
Cos I only believe in good luck
And I have never seen a ghost
But I know the ones we love are the ones we hurt the most
And I have never seen a ghost
I've lived and loved and lost and found hope
And I've stories to tell from the bottom of my well
I sing oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
And I sold my soul on the net
To girls who only cause more and more stress
Yeah I sold my soul on the internet
And I'm in need of a change
Well I sit in my pajamas playing Xbox games
Yeah I'm in desperate need of a change
I say I'm in desperate need of a change
I've lived and loved and lost and found hope
And I've stories to tell from the bottom of my well
I sing oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
And I wear my heart on my sleeve
If you can't handle that, tough, this is me
I stand up for what I believe
I stand up for what I believe

Down The Road

Honestly, I can't find the words to speak
But I can form a song to sing
Sing how I feel for you
Quietely, well you just mean the world to me
And you are everything I could have dreamed
Down the road
Well I promise you I promise you I promise
I'll follow
I was borderline losing my fragile mind
Then came that night
Your eyes lit up when you smiled
So take my hand lets forsake history sand
Lets leave a legacy
A lifetime of stories
Down the road
Well I promise you I promise you I promise
I'll follow
I'm waiting up for you

Loved Like You
03:41
|

I am a passing and time is a carousel
In this moment I prosper where tomorrow I dwell
I wish I was loved like you
And I wish I was something new
Out of the water, arise without a sound
I was a lion then, so golden and proud
And I was a lover with love unfilled
And I was a passenger to all that I built
I wish I was loved like you
And I wish I was something new
With wings on my back and anchors on my feet
In my neck is a snare and trap, my chest a lock and a key
They say there's a book to write inside us all
they say that the greatest flight precedes the greatest fall
I wish I was loved like you
I wish I was something new

Long Way Down
03:15

I want it back
What you had
If it's heart that I lack
Then why am I sad?
It's a long way to save your face
It's a long way down
If you hit the road
From coast to coast
Leave me behind
With your holy ghost
It's a long way to save your face
It's a long way down
You're harder than stone
Ok I'll just leave you alone
You're harder than stone
(I will falter, I will falter)
It's a long way to save your face
It's a long way down
It's a long way to save your face
It's a long way down

This Is Not A Swansong
03:18

I just want the most out of my life
Live early mornings and late nights
Watch the sun set and rise
I just want the most out of my life
Row and row
Just go and go
For dreams they never last long
Even though all doors have closed
Well this is not a swansong
I just want my lover for her love
But I'm in need of someone I can trust
Well I'll get my time but I bet it's not enough
I just want my lover for her love
Row and row
Just go and go
For dreams they never last long
Even though all doors have closed
Well this is not a swansong
You have my word
And you are sordid
You are folded into place
You got my name
He got your age
And I am walking out the race
Yeah I am walking out the race
Well I must admit
I pray for calm seas
And water in the flood
A lighter boat
To raise a sail
And drop my anchor in the mud
To drop my anchor in the mud
Row and row
Just go and go
For dreams they never last long
Even though all doors have closed
Well this is not a swansong
Row and row
Just go and go
For dreams they never last long
Even though all doors have closed
Well this is not a swansong
No this is not a swansong

I Don't Mind
04:17

Lets talk about the old days
Lets talk about your friends
Lets talk about the summer
And how you wished it wouldn't end
Did I forget to tell you
How pretty you looked in that dress?
And the first time that I saw you
You cleaned the mess from my head
And I don't mind
If we take our time
No, I don't mind
Lets go walking on the boardwalk
Dip our feet into the sea
Lets find ourselves lost for hours
Until we find ourselves a drink
Lets talk that sun into setting
Just need the sound of your voice
Need that calming and the comfort
Something to drown out the noise
And I don't mind
If we take our time
I'm all yours if you're all mine
Something I've been meaning to tell you
About three years and a day
I'd very much like to get married
Maybe have kids and move away
Cos there ain't nothing like your smile
Your legs and those eyes
And I will beg and steal and borrow
To keep you safe your whole life
And I don't mind
If we take our time
I'm all yours if you're all mine

What We Are
04:28

Was that a knock at the door?
I'm hearing noises, I've not heard before
Or a creaking in the walls?
I'm so alone now, I've never felt so small
And I see you for the first time in a year
You say you'd change
You've not changed a bit
Is there a forest or factory feeding your fear?
I needed change but nothing's changed here
I saw a spider on the floor
I moved in closer, now I'm not sure if I can do this anymore
I'm going backwards
I'm going back to, I'm going back to before
And I see you for the first time in a year
You say you'd change
You've not changed a bit
Is there a forest or factory feeding your fear?
I needed change but nothing's changed here
I wish to see the clouds part
And the stars to see us for what we are
I wish, I wish
I wish to see the clouds part
And the the stars to see us for what we are
I wish, I wish (for home)
I wish to see the clouds part
And the stars to lead us through the dark times

Candlelight
04:40
|

The days go by unnoticed
And I don't know why I'm restless
There's a reason why I can't decide
And I'm sorry
It'll come to me, come to me in time
So stay where you are
Or don't you go far
The nights drag on
They make a chorus
And I singalong til the sun rises
And there's something wrong
I don't belong where I'm standing
And there's something wrong
I don't belong here
So stay where you are
Or don't you go far
Cos I, I've been walking this floor
And I can't find you where you are
Or where you're heading for
And I've been looking everywhere
This candlelight is my beacon
And it's where I fight my demons
But they take control of my feeble soul
And I'm frightened
And they take control
They take and they take
So stay where you are
Or don't you go far
Cos I, I've been walking this floor
And I can't find you where you are
Or where you're heading for
No I can't find you where you are
Or where you're heading for
And I've been looking everywhere

Worst Flight Of My Life
03:43
|

Be safe
Stay away from death
Will you pray for that?
I'll believe in god
Have faith in anything
If it gets me home
This is the worst flight of my life
And I'm afraid I might die
This is supposed to be my time
But I'm afraid I might die
You promised me
That we would be OK
And I trusted you
But it's down to luck
A law of averages
And that's what gets me through
This is the worst flight of my life
And I'm afraid I might die
This is supposed to be my time
But I'm afraid I might die
This is the worst flight of my life
And I'm afraid I might die
This is supposed to be my time
But I'm afraid I might die
And never see you again

Under The Covers

I'm hiding under the covers
And I built my bed up high
I ain't spreading no rumours
I only need a place to cry
I find life so hard sometimes
But I'm giving it a try
I underestimated how sometimes
I won't go down without a fight
Say what you answer for
I'm dancing on the furniture for all to see
Light up a cigarette
Smoke your conscience clear for me and all to see
That I, I need you
To show me a sign
Say what you answer for
I'm dancing on the furniture for all to see
Light up a cigarette
Smoke your conscience clear for me and all to see
That I, I need you
To show me a sign
