DRIVE


I know it's late now I know I ought to go
Ride in your car now but please don't drop me home
My head's so heavy, could this be all a dream?
Promise me maybes and say things you don't mean

Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you

Keep my heart turning on axles around you
Keep our love burning just like it used to do
Now just for us, they could play our favourite tune
Let's not discuss all these things we can't undo
Let

Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you

Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just drive

SWAY
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you

And here I go, losing my control
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infintely true

CHORUS:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

HEY
You were on the second floor
Hanging out the window watching the cars passing by
With that look in your eye
And I was hanging round below
Waving to ya from the road
I was calling your name
You were miles away

CHORUS:
Hey
You've been wondering
What's it to ya?
You've been questioning why all day
It's such a silly thing
Still it threw ya, caught you by surprise

You're coming to me loud and clear
There's nothing really for us here
It's a terrible thing
Hannging on by a string
There's nothing left for me to say
You've said it all already now
I won't add anymore
I'll just slip out the door

CHORUS

You and I so sick and tired
Of hanging around
You and me, we both agree
It's all over now
All over now

CHORUS

BURSTING THROUGH
I'm counting stars
Lying under, watching you through my walls
All the lights have gone out
I know you're listening now
You've been spinning around, turning slowly
Orbiting round my house
And it's a feeling I get
I know you're listening now

Warm me today, warm me today
Filter in my lonely room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room

Now my fingers are cold
But I have touched you
You're all I need to know
Don't fade from me now
I know you're listening somehow

All you can give, all you can give
Twisting by its more than the light
It's all you can give, all you can give
Look outside the sun is bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, filling up this room

SWIM
This frame of mind
Young hollow man
Said all I've got to say
Done all I can
Won't even try
Wont even show
Don't tell me things
I don't want to know

CHORUS:
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure

And in these days between when I fall apart
I'd run away but you know I'm not that smart
These strange ideas, I'll see them through
They've been a part of me
And I know that they're a part of you
And

CHORUS TO FADE

ROLL INTO ONE
If I could make you mine
We could spend some time
Maybe you could come around in the weekend
Summer's rolling by and we don't have much time
Tell me all about what keeps you ticking

We could sit in the sun
Let the days all roll into one
How could you take so long to decide?
How would you know until you tried?

Say what's on you mind
Don't be so unkind
If you believe in stupid things like love

We could sit in the sun
Let the days all roll into one
How could you take so long to decide?
How would you know until you tried?
We could sit in the sun
Let the days all roll into one
How could you take so long to decide?
How would you know until you tried?

Tried, tried if you tried If you tried, if you tried
Lalala...

SUDDENLY STRANGE
Fire, inside my shoes
Still walking forward but back to you
I s'pose I must be stuck with you again
This joke is wearing thin
I know its time
I know its time to go

And just so you know
This secret part of me never showed
And when you run around like you don't care
I'm suddenly aware
I know its time
I know its time

CHORUS:
It's suddenly strange
I can hardly complain
I'm down the stairs
And I'm out the door
It's suddenly colder
It bowled me right over
I'm down again
I suppose its over now

Don't ask me how
But it didn't take much to figure out
And you know I'll go acting really tuff
Giving back your stuff
I know its time
I know its time

CHORUS

And you know I'll go acting really tuff
And giving back your stuff
I know its time
I know its time

CHORUS

Fire inside my shoes, its over now

SORRY
Wring out my guilt and hang it on the line
Its been raining all week, it won't get a chance to dry
I've been looking round the pantry for a box of sorries
I'm all run out yeah
I'm all run out

It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?

And its been swelling up inside like the kitchen sponge
Its on the back of my throat, its on the tip of my tongue
If I could sweep it out he door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again

It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?

Say It now, say it now, say it now!
Say it now, say it now, say it now!

And I've been locking all the doors and drawing all the blinds
It always seems to find its way back inside
If I could sweep it out the door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again

So I can say it now
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
It's not that hard to say I know

HEAL
Don't forget me
Bring me down
Don't let me promise you
Things I cannot do
This infection adds to my collection
Hoard my pain
And show it to you one day
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
And it fills my mind with thoughts so fine
Don't ask too much of me oh

Heal me now, heal me now
Heal me now, heal me now

Don't erase me
Cut me out replace me
I'm still here
I'm not going anywhere
You alone indeed
You sing so adamantly
Let it free what ever's locked inside
Don't ask too much of me

Heal me now, heal me now
Heal me now, heal me now

DELIGHT
Anytime that you fall asleep
I'm wide-awake
Anytime that you leave your house
I'm waiting at the gate
I'm not angry anymore
Come on and show your soul
I'd love to hang it on the wall
Framed for me

Anytime that you smile
I know that's really you
Anytime that you laugh
You know that I'll be laughing too
But it's not funny anymore
Come on now where's your soul
Is that it crumpled on the floor?
Is this blame on me?

CHORUS:
Delight, delight, delight, delight, delight
At least we know its name
Delight, delight, delight
Wouldn't that be nice to feel again?
Delight, delight, delight
It's all locked outside it won't be coming in

Anytime now you'll talk
At least I hope you will
Anytime now you'll speak
And you know I'll be listening still
But we don't say much anymore
Come on tell it from your soul

CHORUS

Won't be coming in
Delight, delight, it's locked outside
Outside, tonight, it won't be coming in

WITHOUT YOU
Walk around the bathroom
Fill the sink
Wander round the kitchen
Make a drink
To occupy my time's my only wish
I've rearranged the magnets, on my fridge

Without you now, without you now
Without you now, without you now

Just can't make decisions
Think what to do
Turn on my television
And think of you
Splash my face with water
Brush my teeth
Your toothbrush gone from where it ought to be

Without you now, without you now
Without you now, without you now

Do do do do­
