I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got tI'me while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

seems I´ve been waiting my whole life
but the waiting is not something I admire
cause I lose myself in time
there´s nothing left to find
but the shape of me defined by who we were

and I don´t why you
I don´t know where you
I don´t know who you
I don´t know how you
I silently curse you
distance as virtue
yeah I only fear you
when I am near you

I make mistakes trying to do things right
and I stumble round until the morning light
and the days I spiral through
with nothing to pursue
cause the one place I can´t be is next to you

and I don´t why you
I don´t know where you
I don´t know who you
I don´t know how you
I silently curse you
distance as virtue
yeah I only fear you
when I am near you
yeah I only fear you
when I am near you

don't you got something to say to me?
don't leave me hanging on empty wires
don't you got something to say to me?
don't leave me hanging on empty wires

hanging on empty wires

baby put your shoes back on
gonna head on down to the floor
gonna see the night away
dancing a four on four
gonna see the morning rise
swallow the light of the moon
but stay with me and sway a while
daylight won't be here anytime soon

noone's ever coming round here no not ever anymore
rapping on the window or a'knocking on the kitchen door
noone's really taking any trouble like I used to see
people dropping by as if the twilight was an amnesty
saying this is harder than I ever thought was possible
can't hide it anymore because the truth is indestructible
wear it like a sickness that I didn't catch too easily
like I'm waiting till someone with a shovel comes to bury me

silence has got to be broken
sleeping and then you are woken
eyes come open to see
something has got to be spoken
everything must be forsaken
you' ve been taken
from me

free you
but I can't free you
no I can't free you
whatever I do

have you ever suffered through the days of summer lost in blue
hoping that the one thing that you need will heed and come to you
watching as the clock forgets and drops its sense of courtesy
listening to songs that once were friends but now are enemies

silence has got to be broken
sleeping and then you are woken
eyes come open to see
something has got to be spoken
everything must be forsaken
you' ve been taken

from me
free you
but I can't free you
no I can't free you
whatever I do

if you go walking down amongst all the dreams of others
hands out wide, fingers brushing the silver leaves
walk those fields right through the night all the way to morning
leave you weaving nothing better than misery

leave you and your time, filled with woe and wine
drowning on the shoulder of a crying sky

night on night, night on night,
night on night, night on night

now every moment seems its always already over
anything that ever shone has been worn to dim
and everyone is either faded or cremated or just damn jaded
like all their hopes and all the dreams that they lost them in

and through the dying light, I can see your eyes
see them filling up amongst the crying sky

night on night, night on night, night on night, night on night
night on night, night on night, night on night, night on night

Second Storey (2004)

I had a name some old day
When the crime of you kept me in the frame
And we had a look both you and me
Like a handful of colour thrown on the street
That's right now

But i felt ashamed most of those days
Cause the summer came but the winter stayed
Well what can you say to a dying day
'will you stay here a while, keep the darkness away?'

There was a time when we both were able
To justify complete wastes of time
And throw ourselves like rubbish out into the night
Now I have found these reasons for leaving
They come to me like lights in the sky
And they will not fade till I'm out of your sight

Devils And Angels (2007)

Someone cries and it washes the street with tears
But when they are mine, they collect in my head for years
Rain or shine, still I'm standing on all I said
'Cause it's in my soul, carry on when the feeling's dead

But if you can't hold on
Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
And if you can't hold on
On your very last try
I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

Someone dies late at night and I never know
And even if I did, so afraid of the face I'd show
I feel trapped and enslaved to this dark contrast
Need a feeling now, give me something that's going to last

But if you can't hold on
Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
And if you can't hold on
On your very last try
I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

I want to be free
I want to be free
I want to be free
Yes, I want to be free
I want to be free
Yes, I want to be free
Oh, I want to be free
Yes, I want to be free

Everybody Else (2007)

Cover it up in the bathroom
While you curse the mirror on the wall
You can change anything that you want to
But your hand is shaking when teacher calls

One desk away, I am aching to say
"What are you so scared of?"

You're putting on makeup

You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of? (x2)

Three cigarettes and a razor
Some old ticket stubs with autographs
You're looking for entertainment
But you're so bored with yourself
You never laugh

They're cheering outside
But you're rolling your eyes
What are you so scared of?

You're putting on makeup
You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of? (x2)

You got a long walk home
But you've got headphones
Your bangs in your eyes
You need a big shove
What are you so scared of?

You're putting on makeup
You don't believe in love
What are you so scared of? (x2)

What are you so scared of?

(Verse 1)
Standing on the runway watching all the planes go by
Wonedring if i'm ever gonna see you on the other side

(Chorus)
And I wanna tell you straight, sometimes you have to wait,
but it's worth it even if it's a little late uh huh.

I miss the rain, I miss the sun
when I'm at home, I miss being gone.
I miss that subway rattling by,
the longest hour of my life
What I miss the most is you.

(Verse 2)
The cemetary gates are the only place I feel alive
I'm leaving you a note in a place that will be easy to find.

And I gotta tell you straight, sometimes you have to wait.
But it's worth it even if it comes too late uh huh.

I miss the rain, I miss the sun

when I'm at home I miss being gone.
I miss that subway rattling by,
the longest hour of my life
What I miss the most is you.

I'm gonna tell you straight,
sometimes you have to wait.
But it's worth it even if it comes too late uh huh.

I miss the rain, I miss the sun
when I'm at home I miss being gone.
I miss that subway rattling by,
the longest hour of my life
What I miss the most is you
the rain, I miss the sun
when I'm at home I miss being gone.
I miss that subway rattling by,
the longest hour of my life
What I miss the most is you.

I miss you the most
I'm just a boy without you.

We Started Nothing (2008)

don't you be a traffic light
with all things said
you turn to red
don't you be a traffic light

and don't you be a round-a-bout
no not another round-a-bout
we've come so far
yet back to the start
don't you be a round-a-bout

oh now baby don't miss read the signs
if you turn the key then things will turn out fine

lets not have a break down
no not another breakdown
you're on your own a long way from home
lets not have a breakdown

don't miss read the signs if you had just turned the key then things would have turned out fine

you're pushing me, you're breaking
over taking me you're racing
first placing me not chasing me back home

don't let me down

Illuminare (2006)

Dismantled notes just might destruct me tonight
You're right, I just might explode in this silver moonlight
You're at the piano, your hands are on the key
Lifting and resting, you make such beautiful sounds
I lift the hair from your neck

The trees sway in the wind
And we will dance beneath them

So what about this defiant afternoon gloom
With its lack of light and shadow-filled rooms
I'm praying for a thunderstorm
Something to keep me inside

The notes bounce around in my light head
I'm floating high above your house
Your tears have flooded it out
If only you could see the angel I see,
All dressed in white
The white dress,
The white wings, and the white air disturbed

So what about this defiant afternoon gloom
With its lack of light and shadow-filled rooms
I'm praying for a thunderstorm
Something to keep me inside

When you sing, it haunts me like a monster from my dreams
Cause I know it's the kind that does the breaking
All I see is white, and it burns
Oh sweet notes, take me away

Illuminare (2006)

The wind is beating at the rooftops
It knows of the history here
The windows are rattling, they are cracking

The air, it just wants in
I want thunder and I want lightning
I want to be taken away
But only with my girl at my side,
As we softly float away

I've found a place where I can go
Where I fit in and I forget I'm living in this town
I could drive us all around
'Cause I've found this place where we can go

So I'm just an unconscious vessel
That you steer through the storm
I'm tired of being invisible,
I'm tired of being forgotten
So I'm twisting things around so we'll fall through the cracks
The page is full, so don't panic

I've found a place where I can go
Where I fit in and I forget I'm living in this town
I could drive us all around
'Cause I've found this place where we can go

Illuminare (2006)

If they did tests on my heart
I think that maybe they would start believing
All the stories that I tell them
Like how sometimes I can barely breathe
For no apparent reason other than I thought some bad thoughts
These nerves are falling apart

And my fingernails stay short
I keep telling myself "You've got to get over yourself"

I don't want you to save me
'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed
And then you would get bored and leave
I'd be back at square one
And that is such a bad place to begin

We sent all of our sins into the sea
And we set it on fire, we're an island now
I don't know if I can take the pressure it creates
To be a self-sustaining industry
So we'll tell ourselves we've got what it takes
And all we need is a little time to dry off

I don't want you to save me
'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed
And you would leave
I'd be back at square one
And that is such a bad place to begin

Illuminare (2006)

Play that chord one more time
you know I'm waiting

it's the quiet that makes the song
no, its the absence of light that makes it
play that chord and I'll fall asleep
I will, I will but my heart is racing
and my mind wont shut down

play that chord one more time
cause I'm singing, we're singing
laughter fills the room
and pulls towards another nights' close
and I'll fall asleep
I will, I will but my heart is racing
and my mind wont shut down

everyone is idle and waiting
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Umbrellas (2005)

If you see me at midnight
Walking the streets
You'll know it was me for I cannot sleep
I've pushed away the dreams
And spoiled the quiet
I'm propelled by fear

And not the righteous

So have you been to a place like this?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
The fever is near
I wish you were here

I'm thinking ambitious
I've got this feeling things will be alright
So go break a leg now
Been given the green light
So go entertain them
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for you

So have you been to a place like this?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
Feeling so right and things will run
The fever is near
I wish you were here

Umbrellas (2005)

i don't know
what i'm doing
or where i'm going

but when i get there
and i sort things out
i hope that i do it well

it's the excitement,
the anxiety,
then the let down
it's the vivid dreams
that fall away from our memory
i won't be your sorrow anymore
or that crutch that validates those
pictures inside your head

when you hear this song i hope your ears bleed
cause it's in this song that i hear you
when you hear this song i hope you head for the hills

when you hear this song i hope your ears bleed
cause it's in this song that i hear you
when you hear this song i hope you head for the hills
it's that that you will find me and you will lose me
cause it's there that you will be beautiful

Umbrellas (2005)

If i could i would
i'd pull your ribs apart
like the bars on the jail cell
we'd make a clean break
i'd touch your racing heart
to control those anxieties
to calm you down
to stop you from pacing around
so let me do all the worrying
you know i'm so good at it

just like skating on broken ice with you
i'm treading lightly
i'm watching my step
this ship has sailed

our long moring walks
our shadows strateched out in front of us
the new born sun buring away at our backs
the words were formed and spoken in relief
just happy that the moments had been filled
so let me do the pretending
we will get better over time

just like skating on broken ice with you
i'm treading lightly
i'm watching my step
this ship has sailed and we're pushing away
always a song in your head
always unfailing, always lovely
but you never bother to sing
it's like skating on broken ice with you...

just like skating on broken ice with you
i'm treading lightly
i'm watching my step
this ship has sailed
just like skating on broken ice with you ..

Keep No Score (2006)

I’ll make you mine if you would have me.
With a silver ring that will hug you tight,
Our life begins.

Keep No Score (2006)

Put your coat on, this city trembles.
Keep your chin up, as you untangle God
From cold blood and bruises.

We are X-rays of something broken.
Cursive bloodlines write every forecast:

An orchestration Of dissonance and innocent surrender.
When our color dies,
