VALENTINE

with all her talk of all the others

when it shadows everything

and i can't think

about her silence and her rings

i see no place to pin my thought

and where's what's true between the lines

and in her eyes

i see nothing not a sign

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

sunday morning comes too soon

to leave me standing in my light

and there's no time

to set it straight or take a side

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

i see no place to pin my thoughts

and where's what's true between the lines

and in her eyes

i see nothing not a sign

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

and i'm untied

i can't unwind

your valentines

IN MY HEAD

i come pulling all the stops

putting rain on all of this

with the sirens in my sleep

and her sorrow at my kiss

i can't turn away

hold a hand to when you pray

all her vanity and fate

written on her crazy face

here in my head

i hear you say

here in my head

i hear you pray

time is what it's made

made by others i regret

remember me i hear it said

out of faces i forget

hope you get up off your feet

shake the dust out of your shoes

city lights and all my jazz

all my demonstrations too

here in my head

i hear you say

here in my head

i hear you pray

time is what it's made

made by others i regret

remember me i hear it said

out of faces i forget

here in my head

i hear you say

here in my head

i hear you pray

here in my head

i hear you say

here in my head

i hear you pray

UNTIL SHE COMES

until she comes again

i can hear the things she said

i feel no thoughts to move my head

until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet

and with her hand, i feel my skin

and with her need, i find i'm saved

and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes again

the sun goes out and night comes in

the time goes round and day grows dim

until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet

and with her hand, i feel my skin

and with her need, i find i'm saved

and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes

until she comes

until she comes again

with all my savings and my sins

there's no good reason to begin

until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet

and with her hand, i feel my skin

and with her need, i find i'm saved

and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes

until she comes

until she comes again

with all her dreams tied in her hand

there is no why to understand

until she comes again

until she comes again

the sun goes out and night comes in

the time goes round

and day grows dim

until she comes again

DON'T BE A GIRL

don't be a girl for all their kisses

for all their kisses taste so sweet

don't be a girl for all their flowers

all their flowers fade when the day comes

and in your eyes, i've seen it rain

don't be a girl, not for me

and on your face, i've seen their names

don't be a girl, not for me

don't be a girl for all their money

for all their money comes so cheap

don't be a girl for all they promise

all their promises come so easy

and in your eyes, i've seen it rain

don't be a girl, not for me

and on your face, i've seen their names

don't be a girl, not for me

don't be a girl for all their roses

all their roses tell me they want you

don't be a girl for all their wishes

for all their wishes don't come true

and in your eyes, i've seen it rain

don't be a girl, don't complain

and on your face, i see their names

don't be a girl, not for me

and in your eyes, i've seen it rain

don't be a girl, not for me

and on your face, i see their names

don't be a girl, don't complain

not for me

SOMETIMES

i see you sing

i don't need your praise

i need a hand, she said

you said it's worth

all that is mine

prove it, sometimes

under a moon

that shines like it's day

it hangs like a star, somedays

i'm getting blind

i see with your eyes

it's too dark, sometimes

prove it, sometimes

your head in my hands

gets darker than night

it's tearing me down, sometimes

the world's like a friend

i find i can smile

don't say "don't cry"

prove it, sometimes

i see you sing

i don't need your praise

you hold out a hand, she said

you said it's worth

all that is mine

prove it, sometimes

prove it, sometimes

prove it, sometimes

your head in my hands

it's darker than night

it's tearing me down, sometimes

under a moon

shines likes it's day...

TEARING DOWN

the flowers they cover your feet

all the colours of you

and they shine over all i see

and all i see

is all of the tears that i spent

those that fell over nothing

and landed here where i stand

and in my hand

i'm tearing down the flowers sent

and all of them

i'm tearing down your hollow heart

and all of that

all the flags that i rose

that i hung out of windows

and stuck on the sky like crows

but you want more

i'm tearing down the flowers sent

and all of them

i'm tearing down your hollow heart

and all of that

all the ribbons, they hung in your hair

you turn in the mirror to me

and i see you there

and i don't care

i took off all the rings from my hand

yeah and all of the birds from the sky

over where i stand

and you want more

i'm tearing down the flowers sent

and all of them

i'm tearing down your hollow heart

and all of that

i'm tearing your down your promises

and all of this

i'm tearing all your flowers down

and all of that and this around

THERE'S A WORLD

i can't wait to say goodbye before you break

in you, i get torn in two

you don't see my reflection in my scenes

you fall, i don't come at all

i can almost feel you bleed

you've been falling in too deep

i can almost hear you say

but your words get in my way

why wait?

there's a world outside

why wait?

for the reason why

i come soon from the shelter of my room

you don't move

coming down on you

i can't fall

all that does is made to crawl

i'm one, leave the world undone

i can almost feel you bleed

you've been falling in too deep

i can almost hear you say

but your words get in my way

why wait?

there's a world outside

why wait?

for the reasons why

it ain't always what i want

it ain't always mine

why wait?

there's a world outside

you can't win

coming from the state you're in

you don't see

my reflections and my scenes

you fall, i don't come at all

i can almost feel you bleed

you've been falling in too deep

i can almost hear you say

but your words get in my way

why wait?

there's a world outside

why wait?

for the reason why

it ain't always what i want

it ain't always mine

why wait?

there's a world outside

it ain't always what i want

it ain't always mine

why wait?

there's a world outside

GET A ROOM

don't want order

it won't come

there's no why that it goes on

i was tied and i'm undone

i've got all that you don't want

you want order i want more

you want it all and

all of it's yours

you want shelter

i get a room

i get a room

my confusion leaves me cold

i've got nothing here to hold

all that's gold will never shine

it was nothing, nevermind

i want time, i want it now

my confusion's getting me down

you want shelter

i get a room

i get a room

what of yours is there to keep?

to be there when you sleep

i'm not here to tie your feet

hold a hand upon your sleeve

there's a nail to hang the wall

it pays to lose it all

a note to hind behind the door

i get a room

where you sleep, i lay awake

i saw every time you fake

i held on the hand that takes

and you hate it when i break

you want order

i want more

you want it all and

all of it's yours

you want shelter

i get a room

i get a room

i get a room

BETTER DAYS

people call to say hello

they call to talk about the weather

all the places i don't go

they call to talk to me

they've got names without a face

and they've got faces i don't see

from the corners of my mouth

i hear your voice come falling down

from the corners of my mouth

can't hear myself at all

all my senses in a know

it gets too dark in here

that i can't move

and i can't feel to touch

and there's you standing in my clothes

a perfect picture with you on my side

i never let it show

from the corners of my mouth

i hear your voice come falling down

from the corners of my mouth

can't hear myself at all

i can't seem to find my feet

my body's shaking and

my tongue can't move

i turn my head to speak

i hear you call my name

i hear you calling me

on better days

on better days

from the corners of my mouth

i hear your voice come falling down

from the corners of my mouth

can't hear myself at all

from the corners of my mouth

i hear your vioce come falling down

from the corners of my mouth

can't hear myself at all

ALL ABOUT YOU

now the time is almost done

the race for last is almost run

and almost paid

from where i stand, i've got a view

out of all the miles of you

where i wait

i know what's true

all about you

through my window there's a sound

there's a face in every crowd

a lot like you

is what you wanted what you took?

all the lines that leave you shook

leave me cold

i know what's true

all about you

someone's knocking at my door

down my stairs, i hear you call

but i won't wake

the seconds move the time along

and all my silence seems so long

i don't break

i know what's true

all about you

i know what's true

all about you

i know what's true

all about you
