Made more sense, behind closed eyes
we were making plans, not taking advise
things become disconnected
everything you say, is taken the wrong way
Don't need a stamp of approval, from anyone
you can take it or leave it
cos when the air is clear, they'll be saying it again
Misunder, Understood
Is at your side
filling in the blanks for everyone
Yesterday stays with you
its like a heavy case, of deja vu
every step a reflection,
of another day, its like watching a replay
need no persuasion, to abondon the simple things
as they lay under starlight, staring up
we'll be saying it again
Misunder, Understood
Is at your side
filling in the blanks
Misunder, Understood
Is at your side
filling in the blanks for everyone

Lights
04:00
|
|||
Your face in the mirror
less familiar as you step nearer
questioning the routine
that drains the time like a machine
Go out for a remedy
until you sway heavily
you don't mind the cycle
cos you know its not final
Over your head, i see the lights now coming on
Over your head, i see the lights now coming on
Theres a shift in your attitude
embracing what cannot be understood
scared your heart into the corner
of the room
your just somebody the loses track
of whats going on
rolling with the punches
struggling to find the words
Over your head, i see the lights now coming on
Over your head, i see the lights now coming on

A shadow of the clouds moves on the pavement
among the people in a hurry to leave their mark
On this planet it spins, it rotates regardless
of the heights you hit, oh the failures that go with it
you cross off the seconds, like days of the calender
and visualise, a decline in slow motion
daylight returns, while you're finding your feet
you're still finding you're feet
these words, they're not useless
but they won't work on their own
this part of you, that means something
is still standing alone
words, can't be useless
but they won't work on their own
Now turn off the distractions
and walk right through this avalanche
with hope intact
of the outcome who can be exact
so laugh it off for good, for good
these words, they're not useless
but they won't work on their own
this part of you, that means something
is still standing alone
words, can't be useless
but they won't work on their own

Standstill
03:23
|
|||
A timeline that leaves you for dead
by the wayside, scratching your head
should i have made more use of the time
all those days spent standing in line
its easier said than done
seems easier lost than won
from this blinding point of view
that your faith could have fallen into
Everything stands still
on your way back downhill
Everything stands still
on your way back downhill
A future you have in your sights
you just wait for it to take flight
convince them all that, you never had a doubt
that the good days would soon come about
Everything stands still
on your way back downhill
you think of it less and less
now you're happy with what you possess
everything else rushes past
as you prepare yourself for coming last
Everything stands still
on your way back downhill
Everything stands still
on your way back downhill

Out Of The Blue
03:44
|
|||
The new year, came out of the blue
I'm not complaining, cos its well overdue
promises invade every sentence
but you break them in an instant
moment of weakness
somewhere between
between the head and the heartache
sincerity hides
somewhere between
between the heart and the headache
sincerity hides
you're patience is losing every battle
up against this symphony of pretence
everything on your mind disappears
its lost among the cheers of new years
somewhere between
between the head and the heartache
sincerity hides
somewhere between
between the heart and the headache
sincerity hides

5am
03:47

The days are dissapearing
recently i've been fearing
that our paths will never cross again
but its just 5AM talking
Set myself up at the table
I can't sleep no i'm unable
a broken record i've become
cos its 5AM talking
Repeat, repeat
until the words fall out
over and over
until the words fall out
there's no reaction to the morning
as it hits you without warning
shield me from the outside
cos its 5AM no more
these letters in the post
yeah the kind you hate the most
there a living breathing city at my door
now that it's 5AM no more
Repeat, repeat
until the words fall out
over and over
until the words fall out

Sundown
02:41
|
|||
Carried forward
by an ivisible force
as the hours take hold
faces come and go
but they're not staying
you know, oh you know
there's no doubt
we'll see the blackout
and feel the morning return
to wake the ocean
put things in motion again
once again
we gathered round
a beautiful sound
as the sun went down
on a day, over this town
you grow tired of what's required
for a change of direction
but these bittersweet reminders fade out
as the colour drains from this place
your steps you try to retrace
back to the start
we gathered round
a beautiful sound
as the sun went down
on a day, over this town
we gathered round
a beautiful sound
as the sun went down
on a day, over this town

Last To Leave
03:22
|
|||
Been on a mission to lose a day
expecations fade away
out into the background
waiting for a secret revelation
a well needed consellation
that they won't take from you
its like living in a competition
were some jokers made the rules
and forced you to your line
been trying your hardest to become
somebody who just gets these things done
without a second thought
Is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
while i'm messing things up
is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
Which side of the exit are you on
one foots in the others gone
to pick up all the pieces
still trying their hardest to become
the people that just won't be outdone
be waiting for a while
Is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
while i'm messing things up
is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
Its only time passing, its only time fading away
Its only time passing, its only time fading away
Is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
while i'm finding these flaws
is anybody foolish enough to wait for me
while i'm clutching at straws
clutching at straws
clutching at straws

In The Doorway
03:48
|
|||
Any day now you're gonna fall out of this dream
and back into the place where your head hurts
this journey its all a reocurring theme
seperated by the sun and the moonlight
step out into the cold air
take a breath, just to make sure you're still there
cos they'll all leave guaranteed
when the silence is like falling debris
standing in the doorway
we forgot what was real
standing in the doorway
we forgot what was real
There's some kind of shape in the distance
it attracts you, you've got no resistance
there's an anchor tied to the side of your ship
you may throw overboard what you packed for the trip
and fall through the ocean to get home
a memory is drawn in this sea of emotion
you soon find that it carries on
standing in the doorway
we forgot what was real
standing in the doorway
we forgot what was real

A Picture Of Farewell
04:58
|
|||
Took the history
and put it inside a box full of your
prized possessions
treasured the seconds
that it took you to walk to the door
one last time
a familiar landscape
is gathered round you
on each side as you leave
Its a picture of farewell
the wind it pushes
the pavement cushions your every step
to someone else
we set out in search of a sign
we set out in search of an explanation
all this stillness
and all this steadiness
has left you here alone
its cure in every sense
of the words that
you don't speak so much anymore
anymore
we set out in search of a sign
we set out in search of an explanation
we set out in search of a sign
we set out in search of an explanation
