Sirens

Sit at the window
Watch nothing go by
Hear your voice so far away on the other end of the line
Counting all the times you said to me
We’ll be alright
I could write them down and pin them up
At my bedside
Spinning around like sirens
The people
But all that I hear is silence
You pull me through and talk to me
How did you know that I
Needed someone to be
There how you know that I
Need someone to be there for
Sit at the window
Flashing our lights
Maybe we’re still far away but we know we’re safe in the night
Wide awake and dreaming of the day
We’ll be alright
How did you know that I
Needed someone to be
There how you know that I
Need someone to be there for
Spinning round this crowd full of sirens
But I’m alone and hearing nothing but silence
So won’t you fill the walls with the thoughts in your mind
I need someone here to talk to about all this time
That we're spending

Lichtenberg Figures

You were struck by lightning walking in the rain to your car
And when you awoke, the lightning left a beautiful scar
It looked so alive, growing from the base of your spine
And next time I saw you, you were hovering up the hospital drive
Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?
Cause I saw something in the sky
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun
You were struck by lightning but you don’t talk about it much any more
Something about it sends a little chill to your core
You think it might’ve gone and changed the look of your eye
You look kind of like a UFO learning to fly
Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?
Cause I saw something in the sky
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun
You might think there’s nothing left to lose
But there’s magic in the wounds
Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?
Cause I saw something in your eyes
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun
Only just begun

I Don't Know Why

Counted all the roses in your garden on my walk last night
After thirty two I wasn’t sure if I’d gone wrong or I was right
Eight more minutes passed and then I chose to leave the numbers up to you
And if you find this in the morning, write the answer on the back and pass it through
I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know
Taking off my clothes and raising both eyes to the sky so I see God
But I didn’t feel a thing beyond the shape of every pebble I was stood on
I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know
Sat inside and listened to the top songs you must hear before you die
I got lost after the first line of the second track with nothing on my mind
Plan your life so you can leave the island with a ticket to a place you’ll like
Wait for every other friend and foe to sit beside you, laugh and say that you were right
I don’t know why
I don’t know
I don’t know why
I don’t know

34 Days

I’ve been watching you sleep
I don’t know what that means but I’m tired
I put your worries to bed
Keep them safe in my head, oh I’m tired
Who knows when we’ll get this far again?
I’ll be waiting just around the bend
Now I’ve spent thirty four days
In the quiet you made in my mind
And the garden has grown
But I walk on my own, oh I’m tired
I’ll be waiting just around the bend
Is there somewhere?
Say there’s somewhere
I need somewhere to get away from myself
People have tried to be there for me
I know it’s kind
But daffodils drown in the water
If there is no sunlight
I can’t be here, smile and play pretend
I’ll be waiting just around the bend
Is there somewhere?
Say there’s somewhere
I need somewhere to get away from myself
Unfamiliar, I wanna be unfamiliar
To all that’s surrounding me
I need somewhere to get away from myself
To get away from myself
To get away from myself
Oh I’m tired
Oh I’m tired
Oh I’m tired of trying
To get away from myself

Grown Out Of You

I’ve heard you’re working somewhere new
No surprises, it’s been a long time
When we were kids wearing our navy blue matching shoes
I knew all about you
Bittersweet feeling
Of a September evening
Wish you the best, I do
But now I’ve grown out of you
If I’d have stayed would I have settled too?
Maybe you chose the right way
You’ve got your kids, a house, a job
And I’ve got none of the above
All I need is here with me
Bittersweet feeling
Of a September evening
Wish you the best, I do
But now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown out of you
Now I’ve grown
Bittersweet feeling
Of a September evening
Wish you the best, I do
But now I’ve grown out of you
Birthday
I can’t believe you missed your birthday
And you’ll take a rain check on mine too
I heard you’re up there but it’s hearsay
Your words will always get me through
I wish that we could talk
Once more
You swore you wouldn’t like my hairdo
If I went ahead and had it dyed
I did it anyway and surprised you
You said you like it and changed your mind
I wish that we could talk
Oh I wish that we could talk
One more time
Any advice for the years ahead?
Places to go before I’m old
Will they see me as I saw you?
Someday I hope that I will know
I wish that we could talk
Oh I wish that we could talk
One more time
Any advice for the years ahead?
Places to go before I’m old
Will they see me as I saw you?
Someday I hope that I will know
I can’t believe you missed my birthday
You would have hated all the snow
Blowing out the candles was not the same this year
I never wanted you to go
