The Rogue

In a world where favours are free, and not their weight in gold
You need to slow down now, there’s no right way to go
She’s been watching you, been watching you crawl
And there’s no way back honey, there’s no way back home
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
‘cause all that’s left is a broken heart and a life running short on everything she wants
You’ve been acting out lately, but you are relied upon.
See their eyes open wide at the sight of a falling father
Sold and growing older by the day, see their love betrayed as you turn away.
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
‘cause all that’s left is a broken heart and a life running short on everything she wants
She never thought to tell you, you were never enough
She just settled for a while, until you called her bluff
So many caught in the cross-fire, so many left taking sides
Now, the ruse is just a ruse and the rogue is self-justified
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
What do you do when you can’t sleep at all
‘cause all that’s left is a broken heart and a life running short on everything she wants
and a life running short on
and a life running short on
and a life running short on everything she wants
everything she wants
everything she wants

Run
05:14

It’s been so long since you’ve stopped
Since you’ve slowed down
Since you’ve settled, so don’t start now
I didn’t understand ‘til recently
Until I started pushing against the grain
That I, I’m getting ready to run
Come on, give me a reason
I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to run
Oh, you’re the same, despite changing lifestyle choices
And I’m more like you than I used to be
Despite incentives to stay the same
But I’m not fallin’ for your grip on everything old
I’m not fallin’ for your grip on everything true
Are we suffering through our lives with open minds?
Are we suffering through?
And I didn’t understand ‘til recently
Until I started pushing against the grain
That I, I’m getting ready to run
Come on, give me a reason
I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to run
Come on, give me a reason
Come on, give me a reason
I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to, I’m ready to run
Well, how can you let, let this voice change your life again?
How can you let, let this face change your mind again?
Well, how can you let, let this voice change your life again?
How can you let, let this face change your mind again?
Change your mind again
This time for better reasons
I’m ready to run
This time for better reasons
I’m ready to run
This time for better reasons
I’m ready to run
I’m ready to run

Messed Up
04:56

We’re all a little messed up, but at least we’re still here, right?
Oh my greatest regret is now I won’t change your life
I still wake up not knowing where I am
‘Cause I’ve been dreaming of your windows with light pouring in
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
Oh, it’s hard to tell if you’re still together now
‘Cause you barely touch her or speak to her eyes
And if there’s no hope for you, how can there be hope for me?
I guess that’s why I’m here flicking through just to make a scene
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
His world’s a different shape now, and so is his skin
Pulled tight over cheekbones, cigarette sucking in
Oh, to be a father, oh to be a mother, maybe none of that awaits us
Yet here we are still, gripping tight to these seats
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
Oh, I miss you friends, oh at times when darkness whispers in my ears
So, I sing to stop these stupid thoughts rolling in, shout to stop them hurting
And I know you do the same sometimes
Ohh when darkness whispers in your ears
So, sing to stop these stupid thoughts rolling in, shout to stop them hurting
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
We’re all a little messed up but at least we’re still here
At least we’re still here
At least we’re still here

Don't Overthink Things
04:05
|

There are days when mountains of doubt cloud my mind
And I don’t know if I can trust your words or mine
But my sister says take this one week at a time
Don’t overthink things
And when I can’t find my own words to express
I cry everyone else’s out to the air
Full of worries and stories that aren’t mine to tell
To stop my heart from shaking
Well, here I am starving my feelings again
Running through trees, oh trying to expel
The nervous tension under my skin
This sinking feeling
I wish that I could, oh I could just say
All of my kind words straight to your face
But you won’t even communicate
For fear of falling
I want to be tangled in your beautiful mind
Just the way you are tangled in mine
And to touch your face just one more time
To love you freely
I’m blindly running through space and time
Along dry river beds and into your light
Fighting off feelings of doubt in your mind
Don’t overthink things
Fighting off feelings of doubt in your mind
Don’t overthink things
Fighting off feelings of doubt in your mind
Don’t overthink things

Orbit

You were the sun, at least for a while that’s what you were
And I was the earth caught in your orbit
But I learned to change because you were a tidal wave
And I had to learn to run
I had to learn to swim
I had to learn to float as the tide rolled in
You tempt me with your life and your smile
And say I’ll have you; I’ll have you when you learn to breathe water
And what if I don’t? What if I can’t?
What if I follow you to the edge and forget to panic?
Would you treat me like a stranger looking for love?
I found it in your face
I found it in your face
You tempt me with your life and your smile
And say I’ll have you; I’ll have you when you learn to breathe water
when you learn to breathe water
when you learn to breathe water
when you learn to breathe water
when you learn to breathe water
