You know who you are
You’ve taken this too far
You’re pulling at the strings to make you smile
And she’s taken this to heart
She’d trust you until the end
I’ve seen that look before my friend
But if you come clean
Then she might leave
And she looks too good on your arm
But I see your evil and hear your evil
I could be the voice inside your head
As you speak no evil and hide your evil
Her faith in love is running out of breath
Are you finding this too hard
Your life’s become a piece of art
Your tricks slipping out your sleeve
You need a little room to breathe
You shouldn’t have cheated at the start
But I see your evil and hear your evil
I could be the voice inside your head
As you speak no evil and hide your evil
Her faith in love is running out of breath
Don’t lie to me
I know what you’ve seen
Don’t cry to me
Cause nobodies past is clean
But I see your evil and hear your evil
I could be the voice inside your head
As you speak no evil and hide your evil
Her faith in love is running out of breath
But I see your evil and hear your evil
I could be the voice inside your head
As you speak no evil and hide your evil
Her faith in love is running out of breath
I am not remotely proud of you my friend

Hold me close while we’re young
Come with me, we’ll follow the sun
We’ll take off both our shoes
Lie in the grass, got nothing to lose
Desperately I’ll try and preach the words that just came to me
And you can see easily
I’m lost for words
Wo-ho, and we’ll walk for miles
Wo-ho, always talking through smiles
Wo-ho, lay your head on my chest
And I’ll feel the warmth from your breath
Oh Alice, please stay
You know I’ll never forget your face
Oh Alice, please stay
Or at least wait for me
I wish we were heading home to the place I’ve never called my own
Cause they got you as a guardian angel
Gotta pick myself up to prove I’m able
Wo-ho, I’ll a hundred more songs
Wo-ho, my ambitions are strong
Wo-ho, I hope that you’ll be there too
Singing all the songs I wrote about you
Oh Alice, please stay
You know I’ll never forget your face
Oh Alice, please stay
Or at least wait for me
Who am I kidding
You’re all I dream about at night
Who are we kidding
We could make this work alright
We’ll fight off your daemons
(and we’ll)
We’ll spend this evening playing on each others heart strings
Oh Alice, please stay
You know I’ll never forget your face
Oh Alice, please stay
Or at least wait for me
Oh Alice, please stay
You know I’ll never forget your face
Oh Alice, please stay
Or at least wait for me

This is the end of the road and beside it is the beach
The buildings seem to stay the same no matter how far the sea can reach
And this is my favourite place I could sit here and stare for hours
Whilst my mind has settled again I see kingdoms topple like towers
But I find it hard to make myself a part of this town
Cause I’m leaving in the future so what’s the point in settling down
Settling down, settling down, settling…
Settling down
Whilst three years have come and gone and nothing’s really changed
The bus stop’s been done up a bit but to me it looks the same
And I’ll always remember the times we sat outside the pub
Talking about our future goals when really I don’t wanna grow up
Let me stay young, let me stay young, let me stay…
Constantly young
This is the end of the road and I’m finally leaving town
I’ll likely never come back here except to have a look around
When I find it hard to leave this place and all the souls I’ve found
My mind is off across the world but my heart's still here settling down
Settling down, settling down, settling…
Settling down

Close To Home

I know just what it feels like to be stuck in a room
With no one that you recognise or you already knew
Brother’s passed out in the corner and you know that you want to
Get out of this place but you can’t drive
While everyone’s just sitting round just waiting for the last countdown
You just wait and see if you survive the night
As the world slowly dissolves itself
And I know my self esteem won’t help
You just put your problems on a shelf
And wait for time to take them
Cause I’ve got floors in all my problems like the flaws in all my friends
But if I came back down to save you I’d just end up here again
But I’m so damn nice
And I didn’t think twice
About leaving you all in this madness
As the world slowly dissolves itself
And I know my self esteem won’t help
You just put your problems on a shelf
And wait for time to take them
HUP!
Cause I’m a hardcore bus stop sleeper but the wolves are out tonight
And I know that you will take her and I can’t win this fight
Cause I’m a hardcore bus stop sleeper but the wolves are out tonight
And I know that you will take her and I can’t win this fight
Cause I'm a hardcore bus stop sleeper but the wolves are out tonight
And I know that you will take her and I can't win this fight
And I know that you will take her and I can’t win this…
I can’t win, I can’t win, I can’t win
I CAN’T WIN!
As the world slowly dissolves itself
(Cause I’m a hardcore bus stop sleeper but the wolves are out tonight)
And I know myself esteem won’t help
(And I know that you will take her and I can’t win this fight)
You just put your problems on a shelf
(Cause I’m a hardcore bus stop sleeper but the wolves are out tonight)
And wait for time to take them
(And I know that you will take her and I can’t win this fight)
And I know that, I know that, I know that you will take her
I know that, I know that, I know that you will take her
I know that, I know that, I know that you will take her
I know that, I know that, I know that you will… Take her

She's so mean
I only asked if I could stay the night
I didn't imply that I would hold her in my arms
Until I saw the lights behind her eyes
Fall apart
I have bandaged up her heart
And all her secrets are safe with me
But with every word she said
She tightened the noose around my neck
Hoping I'd dream of her face tonight
When I know she's out to get me
But I can't see in the dark
She turned all the lights on when everyone left home
Somedays I wish we'd just talk
And she said
I don't think I am up to this I just cannot afford to kiss you
But if all that you knew was that I love you would you stay a while
And I said
Just take my hand
I promise you everything
Will be okay
And we'll forget everything
We went through
To get where we are right now
And you can fix my heart too
When I know she's out to get me
But I can't see in the dark
She turned all the lights on when everyone left home
Somedays I wish we'd just talk
Oh her lights are guiding me the wrong way home
Oh her lights, I know that I'll always follow
Cause she puts her all into me
And her eyes are the best things I've seen
Oh her lights are guiding me the wrong way home
Oh her lights, I know that I'll always follow
Cause she puts her all into me
And her eyes are the best things I've seen
She's so mean
I only asked if I could stay the night
I didn't imply that I would hold her in my arms
Until I saw the lights behind her eyes
