Let’s be honest things are far from good
And further still I earn a livelihood
In the middle of the way home
In the middle of the way home
Several weeks since I’ve been out to sea
Where am I supposed to want to be?
In the middle of the way home
In the middle of the way home
Journey’s come to an end
Choices I can’t defend
Don’t you dare condescend
Closing in but it’s too close to call
I’m in no rush to get there - Not at all
In the middle of the way home
In the middle of the way home
Don’t expect me today
Always being called away
I can’t make it ok
In the middle of the way home

We Stand United
03:00
|

|
Where are you going now?
Mind if I come along too?
We live in loneliness
Some dreams will never come true
Oh, I’ll have you know
I won’t let you go
We’ll stand united
Stand as one
Go on and fight it
Can’t be done
We are united
And we’ll go on and on and on...
Back to back in the dark
We sat staring at the stars
Couldn’t find Orion’s belt
But that’s when things began to melt
I was feeling
That you were feeling
That I was reeling
From an older feeling
Such a shitty feeling
When your eyes are tearing
Staring at the ceiling
Oh what a feeling
I’ll change for you
I’ll change for you
We’ll stand united
Stand as one
Go on and fight it
Can’t be done
We are united
And we’ll go on and on and on...
We stand united
Stand as one
Go on and fight it
Can’t be done
We stand united
We’ll go on and on and on...
Where are you going now?
Where are you going now?
Come back
Where are you going now?

My Memories
02:25
|
|||
|
I don’t need another friend
To remind me of the past
I cannot help
I cannot help my memories
There’s no reason to look back
Every time I hear the voices
I cannot help
I cannot help my memories
So please go easy on a friend
Who’s still living in the past
I cannot help
I cannot help my memories

Everybody Knows
02:43
|
|||
|
Come on it’s late
It’s unacceptable
I can tell there’s something you’re not telling me
The more you wait
The more susceptible
I am to be forced to hear it off the street
Everybody knows
Everybody but me knows
Some speculate
It’s understandable
There’s a lot of gossip filling the vacuum
Well, that’s just great
Though unintentional
May I take for granted it’s safe to assume
Everybody knows
Everybody but me knows
Everybody knows
When I look into your eyes it shows
Everybody knows
Everybody but me knows
Everybody but me knows
When I look into your eyes it shows
And I was in the dark until today
And I was in the dark until today
And I was in the dark until today

I'll Only Love You More
02:50

I was sure that her heart was mine long before it was
Could have sworn that her disregard was a game
I was sure that she’d know me by my reputation
I said, “At last here we are,” then she asked me my name
She wouldn’t tell you if she really even knew your name
I guess you’ve got a lot of problems that are in your mind
I guess you’ve got a lot of problems that are in your mind
Every now and again egos need some deflating
Always searching for the answers
Never finding the answers
Otherwise you will find you have been misbehaving
I guess you’ve got a lot of problems that are in your mind
I remember summer days
Playing cool, feeling crazed
Like we’d never seen the death of what we loved
We took our interludes
Holding hands on inner tubes
And making out around the dial
Around the dial
We fell apart a few more times
Forgave each other’s crimes
Let’s admit there are still some to answer for
You go first
And do your worst
If you confess
To love me less
Then you will know I love you more
Love you
Love you
I’ll only love you more

In Another Life
02:35
|

In another life
I’m alone and I am satisfied with myself
In another life
I am brave and don’t have to fake it
As it is I won’t change in a day
But I’ll handle that on my own
At my most daring
I’ll be comparing
This to the life I could have known
In another life
I’m inside the house I’m passing by on the road
In another life
I can find the centre with the arrow
In another life
I’m myself and don’t have to try anymore
In another life
We would not be friends and not be brothers
As it is I won’t change in a day
But I’ll handle that on my own
At my most daring
I’ll be comparing
This to the life I could have known
In another life
I’m outside and I am passing time with my friends
In another life
I’m just fine I wouldn’t have to worry
It doesn’t matter where I’m going to
Or the person that I’m with
I never think about what could’ve been
What matters is what is
In another life
In another life

Words and Music
02:23
|
|||
|
Just like a fool I’m sentimental
Breaking a rule is accidental
Turn down your feedback nice and gentle
Why can’t this be an instrumental?
Back when my star was brightly shining
All my ideas were still aligning
I never worried I’d just sail through
It takes much longer than it used to
Ahhh - words and music
Ahhh - words and music
What do you hear that’s worth repeating?
Do you still think of that as cheating?
And will my winning streak continue?
When all you need to say is in you
Ahhh - words and music
Ahhh - words and music
Words and music
Words and music
I’m gonna lose it

Double Down
02:05
|
|||
|
I got good at guessing, reading tells and taking tricks
My hand shows eleven and dealer’s showing six
Well, you never know for sure but I’ve been around
And I’ve got a reckless feeling that I might
Be kinda right
So I double down
And you can hit me though you have already won
The card you’re going to deal me puts me over twenty-one
When I cut my losses, cut the cards again
And then save my seat cause I can’t afford
To not be right back for more
And I double down
In case you haven’t noticed that I compartmentalize
My beliefs and evidence I fail to recognize
Well, I never would retract my claims I found
That you all will be amazed
How much I am set in my ways
And I double down

Flags For Cutains
03:09
|

Nothing’s changed from those years
You’re the same old fella who’d hang a flag for a curtain
In a room full of road signs
You stole for a story to tell
Riding up on a lift
To an unmarked floor
Where windows are missing or shattered
Flags are in tatters
And your dreams keep tripping
And the light slip slipping
Away now
And you’re dying in the dark for the day
Cuz you’re owed it
Duly noted
And you’re dying in the dark for the day
Cuz you’re owed it
And by chance you were king
Among the last of the friends
Who everyone discounted as shadows
And look for them now
Gone before the morning came
Nothing’s changed from those years
You’re the same old fella who’d hang a flag for a curtain
In room full of road signs
When you lost your direction
Made no course correction
Or changes
And you’re dying in the dark for the day
Cuz you’re owed it
Duly noted
And you’re dying in the dark for the day
Cuz you’re owed it
And you’re dying in the dark for the day...

Holding My Breath
02:38
|

Saturday evening
They welcomed me in
Borrowed tuxedo
My school violin
I felt kinda nervous
Didn’t know anyone
They poured me tequila
And they told me “You’re on!”
They introduced me
But it wasn’t my name
With rapid precision
They bound me in chains
My world was inverted
As the water rushed in
These upside down faces
And not one is a friend
Of all of her children
Mom loved me the best
She called me a genius
Now I’m holding my breath

Keeping Options Open
02:55
|
|||
|
Eyes tend to wander
What you can’t have makes the heart grow fonder
This institution’s
Sacred but accept some substitutions
Keeping options open so what if I do?
If I throw it all away it will be on you
If you insist
I can keep you on my back up list
Soon this will stop
In the meantime you’ll be near the top
Keeping options open but what about you?
It’s one thing to be thinkin’ ‘bout another to do
Life off the rails
Trying to keep your wind out of my sails
Changing my ways
Are you seeing anyone these days?
Keeping options open cause I wanna be free
If I throw it all away it will be on me

We're Living in It Now
03:02

Dream lovers who crash their summers
You and I we take all comers
Breaking free but it could take ages
Up and over we’ll earn our wages
Wherever we go we’re strangers
Into trouble but out of danger
Disappearing among fresh faces
Gets you bluesy on a daily basis
Wanna take my chances with you
Let me lift you higher and higher
I don’t want waste another minute waiting on it
News is breaking on it
We’re living in it now
Are we running or are we chasing?
Inside outlaws and client-facing
These decisions we can’t abide by
Say so long with heartless bye bye
Dream lovers who crash their summers
You and I we take all comers
Breaking free but it could take ages
Up and over we’ll earn our wages
Wanna take my chances with you
Let me lift you higher and higher
I don’t want waste another minute waiting on it
News is breaking on it
We’re living in it now
Wanna take my chances with you
Come and lift me higher and higher
I don’t want waste another minute waiting on it
News is breaking on it
We’re living in it now
Wanna take my chances with you
Come and lift me higher and higher
I don’t want waste another minute waiting on it
We’re living in it now
