You Say

You say, don't let 'em see what you want
Don't give away all your thoughts
You say, don't let 'em see in your heart
You say, what's the point in making them feel good
Well for now, I'm gonna try it anyway
Yes you're right, I don't know her at all
But she might be the nicest human of them all
That's what you say
But I won't tuck away, how I feel
I'll let you see
How smitten I am every step of the way
Take a good look at my heart
Take a good look at my heart

The Simple Life
06:48
|

You carry the weight, there's no way around
Try cross the lake, try not to drown
Don’t start to love what’s dragging you down
Find your way back
You call out her name in the night
But all that you fear will be alright
Come on give in to the tides
Together we’ll live the simple life
We’ll rise and bloom to the rhythm of the sun
At night our loving hearts they’ll keep us warm
Together we’ll live the simple life
Together we’ll live the simple life oh
Grab your old coat, it's all that you need
The cloud in our hearts it needs to get freed
Up on the hill our true selves we meet
The sun is our guide
The warmth of our hands
The air that we breath
The tangle of life
The calmness beneath
We will find love
We will find love
We will find love
We’ll rise and bloom to the rhythm of the sun
At night our loving hearts they’ll keep us warm
Together we’ll live the simple life
together we’ll live the simple life oh
We’ll rise and bloom
We’ll rise and bloom
Together
Together we’ll live
Together we’ll live the simple life

Yourself
04:04
|

High up
I hold that mirror
It only shows
What you’re supposed to see
It‘s such a delicate job
To keep the odds in favour
Working hard
So you could fall for me
Let yourself feel
The way you did as a kid
Let them come
Right at you
Show your joy your fear
Yeah what your made of
Be the sweet kid
You could have been
Yeah love yourself
You might be the only one around
Yeah everyone else
Is busy praising their own clown
This island‘s always been
A hidden gem
Advertised on all
The channels known
There‘s all one would ever need
A warm home and the church of love
It’s just that everyone’s already
An island on their own
Yeah love yourself
You might be the only one around
Yeah everyone else
Is busy praising their own clown
Yeah love yourself
Yeah love yourself
Yeah love yourself
Love yourself

Breath And Be Easy
05:23
|
|||
There‘s this part of the night
Where imagination‘s not your friend
Your thoughts are going wild
To places hard to comprehend
Feel all this guilt, with little reason
Remorse about anything and everything
Just try breathe and be easy
Tell your heart to stay cool
And in the morning on the tramway
Where everything just seemed fine
But then within a split second
You’re shaken to the spine
Brace yourself for another round
The sense of loss is so profound
But the tramway keeps crusing the city streets
And your life will go on
Yeah your life will go on
Just try breathe and be easy
Just try breathe and be easy
Breathe and be easy
Breathe and be easy
Breathe and be easy
Tell your heart to stay cool
Breathe and be easy
Breathe and be easy
Breathe and be easy
Tell your heart to stay cool
Cool

Oblivion
05:07
|
|||
Every time you dare to cross
The bridge to love and later loss
Drop your armor, so you won’t harm her
This time
And every time it feels like home
A perfect world under the dome
But tried and true, girls got armor too
Big time
Oblivion
Oblivion
The day you’re back on your own
Those blooming fields turn to stone
All the laughter and the tears
Dull thereafter they disappear
Into oblivion
Oblivion
Into oblivion
Oblivion
All the laughter and the tears
Dull thereafter they disappear
Into oblivion, into oblivion
Into oblivion, into oblivion
Into oblivion

We'll Be Fine
04:14
|

Don't you worry about that stain on my heart
It's always been there
There is nothing that you could have done
To fix or break it
I, I was just getting used to it
Don't you worry about that stain on my heart
If sometimes sadness is calling me home
Just know I'll come around
I'll climb some rooftop and I'll face that storm
Until it's worn out
I would hate to see us grow apart
Don't you worry about that stain
I'm as slow as they come
I'm as slow as they come
But I'm getting there
I dream of taking you to the city hall
It just might take another year
I sure can feel you through my rugged cell wall
Being with you tear to tear
I'm a slow breeder but I'm getting there
So don't you worry about that stain
I'm as slow as they come
I'm as slow as they come
But i'm getting there
Give it time, we'll be fine
Give it time, we'll be fine
We'll be getting there
I'm as slow as they come
As slow as they come
Give it time, we'll be fine
As slow as they come

Another Storm
03:46
|
|||
Another storm
Is on its way
And we're all
Busy feeding it
We're dealing blows
Just to feel alive
To conceal
We're powerless
For every dollar
Someones song's gone astray
Still we sound sincere
But remain empty shells
For every dollar
Someones song's gone astray
Another storm
Is on its way
Used to be friends
But one by one
By fear and hate
We're overcome
So we're pulled and bend
And hollowed out
Turn on each other
Every man for himself
For every dollar
Someones song's gone astray
Still we sound sincere
But remain empty shells
For every dollar
Someones song's gone astray
Another storm
Is on its way
Oh Oh Oh
For every dollar
Someones song's gone astray yeah
Another storm
Is on its way

The Grudge
04:18
|
|||
Will bitterness get us
Will anyone weep
Will we be part of the cure
The songs that we're writing
The struggles we're getting thru
Will they be a waste
Or might they light a fire
Come on Aileen, let's not be mean
To one another
The grudge within, will bite us back
One way or another
The youngsters I nurture
The skills that I teach 'em
Will they put them to good use
Or might they start wars
Who knows
Will we be part of the cure
Yeah might we light a fire
Come on Aileen, let's not be mean
To one another
The grudge within, will bite us back
One way or another
Come on
The grudge oh
Will bitterness get us
Will bitterness get us, get us, get us

Lake Of Love
04:52
|
|||
Come around to the lake of love
Calm and leaden it‘s luring me in
Just for a while, on it‘s charming shore
Lay down my head and dream
Over the surface
My eyes they search
Oh I can see her
Full of promises she can’t keep
Defying the perils of darkest deeps
With strokes of confidence she‘d swim across
She‘d take me with her, to live a happy life
With friends and cake
And tenderness
Oh and empathy
With ease and warmth and thoughtfulness
But over and over
At night I‘d lie awake
Troubled I’d sneak out
I’d roam the pale moon light
And I’d come around to the lake of love
And I‘d dream about my true love over here
Oh I’d dream, oh I’d dream, oh I’d dream, oh

The Cloud
03:30
|
|||
I live on a cloud made of dreams about you
And there's no place I d'rather be
Down in the streets there's a storm
But it feels so unreal while you’re holding me
I'm counting the stars in the calm of your eyes
And I wonder how would it be
If we stayed hypnotized loosing time for a while
We might never be the same
I live on a cloud made of dreams about you
And there's no place I d'rather be
Down in the streets there's a storm
But it feels so unreal while you’re holding me
I'm counting the stars in the calm of your eyes
And I wonder how would it be
If we stayed hypnotized loosing time for a while
We might never be the same
Oh, oh
