MUSIC & LYRICS

Hey, you’re screaming at me too loud
I can’t figure out a way around
Hey, you haven’t even told me your name

Say you wrote the song that I heard
But I know you didn’t write a word
Still you’re the one who’s getting the fame

Every hour, every station
We’ll be blessed by your creation
Everyone will have that song on their mind

But I know with every playing
There’s no truth to what you’re saying
They’ve just written what they know we will like

Stay with me any minute
Now you’ll see they’ll be finding
So many reasons for them
Not to leave

Meet me in the forest, and it’s there we’ll build our home
The city life is boring, there’s enough warmth in our bones
And every time you’re close, well
You’re making me feel like I’m paralysed
You’re making me feel like I’m paralysed

Meet me in the mountains, and we’ll turn towards the east
And as the sun arises, it supplies us with our heat
And every time I speak, well
You’re making me feel like I’ve improvised

Meet me in the morning, as the rain settles in
The storm confirms that winter’s here, we’ll shed our summer skin
And every time you’re near, well
You’re making me feel so romanticised
You’re making me feel so romanticised

It’s time we leave this town
We’ll head for higher ground
We’ll say we’re mountain-bound for somewhere better
It’s time we build our home
We’ll find strength in our bones
We’ll leave, forever known for this adventure

So it’s okay for you to change to somewhere higher
We’ll make a move, we’ll make a way, we’ll start the fire
We’ll sleep for days, and when we wake
We can retire

It’s not the same, it’s not the same, now that we’re older
We wish for warmth, and wish for change, and want it colder
A change of place, a change of pace, pick up our shoulders
Pick up our shoulders

It’s probably best if I don’t speak
Cause what I want to say
Is not acceptable in places quite like these
Not sure what I should do
I guess I’ll just appreciate
The company of someone quite like you

It’s just a mass of stony beach
We’re travelling so fast, but those below,
They underestimate our speed
We’re swallowed into blue
Could this be the emergency
That finally puts those exits to their use?

But in time we will all
Fall down to where we started it all
And this time when you call
I’ll tell you I’ve been sorry since the moment I departed New York

It’s probably best if I don’t sleep
The nights are getting longer,
You’re just trying to fill the space between the sheets
Still I won’t fill the room
I’ll rearrange the house
But never quite remove the space left there by you

My neighbour’s fast asleep
Still, I can’t help but think of how
They’re using up the honoured window seat
They’re blocking out the view
The infinite blue ocean,
We’re doing what we can to chase the moon

But in time we will all
Fall down to where we started it all
And this time when you call
I’ll tell you I’ve been sorry since the moment I departed New York

‘Cause if my plane had never shown,
And if our pain had never grown
We’d have worked it ’til near perfect
And believed that we were home
And it’s been hours since I woke,
And it’s been days now since we spoke
And I’ve been drinking, slowly sinking
Since my television broke

Still the puzzle’s left undone,
And we’re just left chasing the sun
I’m left wishing it was over
Just as soon as we’d begun
And I’ve a suitcase filled with sand,
And I’ve your letter in my hand
I must leave it and can’t see it ’til we land

You can’t reason with lovers
‘Cause they only see reasons why
It’s hard to see what you need
With stars in your eyes

So don’t let me down
You don’t know what you’re talking about now
Don’t go and say that you mean it,
‘Cause I believe you won’t let me down
I know we’re just thinking out loud
I won’t just say that I’ve seen it
I’ll leave it to work itself out

Sometimes I wish we were strangers
Then leaving wouldn’t hurt me so much
But I’d sooner die than goodbye
And not know your touch

So don’t let me down
You don’t know what you’re talking about now
Don’t go and say that you mean it,
Cause I believe you won’t let me down
I know we’re just thinking out loud
I won’t just say that I’ve seen it
I’ll leave it to work itself out

But I will fight
And hope that there’s hope left inside of you now
I’m frightened that everything you ever loved
Has now lost its desire

But I will fight
And hope that there’s hope left inside of you now
I’m frightened that everything you ever loved
Has now lost its desire

The humming tone drew us in
The hidden door, the blowing wind
From the river bed, the stony ground
The iron shed, the ocean sound

We could just stay here, if only for now
We could just say this won’t bring us back down
To the ground where we lay

The dust it set, the flag it blew
The lights went out, and darkness grew
And as we left, the silence broke
And from the depths, the voices spoke

And what they said drew us in
The secret note, the blowing wind
From the river bed, the stony ground
The iron shed, we’re homeward bound

We could just stay here, if only for now
We could just say this won’t bring us back down
To the ground where we lay

So hold on tight, hold ’til it’s numbing,
‘Til your palms have gone white, cause change is always coming, so
Check your grasp, the movement approaches
And it’s coming on fast, we’ll hit before you know it, so

Cause try as we might, we don’t get out alive
And we are all just driven by the fear
So let’s take this night, begin to live or start to die
Cause loving’s all we’ve got while we’re here,
While we’re here

You said my only fear in this world
Is to truly show my face
I said, don’t let life go to waste
You said I never believed
That love is even real
I said you never got to feel

Cause try as we might, we don’t get out alive
And we are all just driven by the fear
So let’s take this night, begin to live or start to die
Cause loving’s all we’ve got while we’re here,
While we’re here, while we’re here, while we’re here

She said, don’t you remember,
Cause I can’t seem to forget you
You know I’ll never let you down
He said, that’s not the issue,
But every time I was with you,
My feet wouldn’t touch the ground

She said, don’t you remember,
Cause I can’t seem to forget you
You know I’ll never let you down

In the morning you’ll feel better,
But this is not a joke
It’s a storm that you can’t weather,
It’s better we go

So close your eyes and take a breath
I will only try what I think’s best for us

Take a seat and slow it down
Try to see how this is for the rest of us

Cause I can see the storm, it’s closing in
And the rain will only fall where we have been
And we’ll be fine as long as we keep travelling, oh

I know that you’ve been thinking
The room is spinning ’round
But darling you’ve been drinking,
And it’s bringing us down

I know that you’ve been dreaming,
Cause I can see it on your face
It’s time that we were leaving,
Cause you’re not seeing straight,
Oh, you’re not seeing straight

So close your eyes and take a breath
I will only try what I think’s best for us

Take a seat and slow it down
Try to see how this is for the rest of us

Cause I can see the storm, it’s closing in
And the rain will only fall where we have been
And we’ll be fine as long as we keep travelling, oh

Well, I can see the storm

There’s a bridge running over the water
And I could take it and get straight to you,
But there’s so much left to make of this

Though the water’s running faster than ever
We could dive in if we wanted to
And it could take us somewhere else than this

There’s a ship going over the ocean
And we could take it at a steady pace
Cause there’s so much more to learn from this

But if it comes to be the greatest of options
We could dive into the tidal wave
And I’ll still be glad it’s turned to this

So I’ll run, cause it’s all that I can do

There’s a place where the river is narrow
And we could jump it rather easily
But there’s so much left to still decide

If it comes to be, the water is shallow
We should wait to get across the stream
Cause I’m still not sure which is the better side

So I’ll run, cause it’s all that I can do
It’s all that I can do
It’s all that I can do

There’s a place, there’s a time
It’s a race to the line again,
I’ll give chase

There’s a start, there’s an end
There’s a place in my heart again,
I’ll make haste

There’s a place, there’s a time
It’s a race to the line again,
I’ll give chase

There’s a start, there’s an end
There’s a place in my heart again,
I’ll make haste

Oh, my love for you, it goes on, it goes on
My love for you, it goes on, hey hey hey yeah
My love for you, it goes on, it goes on,
My love for you, it goes on
