No one stood a chance that night

No one breaks as beautifully 

Young lovers in the morning light 

And all I was is true to me

If I was not romancing

Then what would I find strength in

I have tried my luck

I’ve pulled your weight

I’ve not dried enough

To take this rain

I’m not bright enough

To shine for both of us

I just needed to detach 

And not have you call me

Sometimes all I need

Is for the world to stay out in the street

It won’t mean anything

It will mean everything to me

If I was not romancing 

Would I just brighten up

And shine for both of us

I just needed to detach 

And not have you call me

Sometimes all I need

Is for the world to stay out in the street

It won’t mean anything

I'm hardly falling to my knees

Nothing breaks as beautifully

As sunlight on a hazy morning

I would not be true to me

If I had fallen 

Without warning

Wake up lightly

Go let the light in

I’m right beside you still

Let’s go driving

I know a place

No one will find us there

So far away 

Just like the rain

Up in the clouds today

You say my name

Look how the flames

Rise like the moon

Can you hear the waves

Hear how they break

How they break like me and you

Just like the rain

So far away 

Way up in the clouds today

We will fall back down again

Just not today

Can you remind me

About the time I got lost

In the clementine fields

And how long I was out

Before you found me and shook me

Out of my tangerine dreams

You're hardly listening

I know you're busy enough

Keeping all of this stuff to yourself

I'm only checking in

Peeling away at your skin

I can't follow you

To where you're leading

We're half awake

Morning's creeping

Out the night

In your Piccadilly mind

You won't need me

Will I really wait all my life to see

How far the distance can grow between us

If I fall apart at the slightest thing

It's 'cause I'll always cry for this type of feeling

You gave me on nights like these

You'd never take me

Never let me in

I can't follow you

To where you're leading

We're half awake

Morning's creeping

Out the night

In your Piccadilly mind

You're busy keeping

Everything inside

I'll sing a lullaby

You'll say it's not this easy

I'll write it all tonight

You'll burn it after reading

I'll sing a lullaby

You'll say it's not this easy

I'll write it all tonight

I'll write it all

I can't follow you

To where you're leading

We're half awake

Morning's creeping

Out the night

In your Piccadilly mind

You're busy keeping

Everything inside

We took your car

And we were free

You held my hand while shifting gears

Don’t let it go

Not for a second

’Cause letting go’s our greatest fear

Look how the heat flares

In the distance

Look what I found between the seats

We shared the pack, and I just listened

You always shared so much with me

I don’t care that you’re gonna take it all from me

My future memories

Just got the best of me

’Cause I’m already down

Down, down

I’m already down

I’m already down

Down, down

I’m down with the sound

Of you walking out

Dust will settle on the fields

Where we were standing

All these years

Have passed us by in

Just a second

Do you remember standing here?

I don’t care that you’re gonna

Take it all from me

My future memories 

Just got the best of me

Already down

Down, down

I’m already down

Don’t look back we still got time

I can’t wait to get in line

All our friends are getting married

Some of them have gotten buried 

In their fears of starting over

One by one they’ve come so close

Walk the park like kings with strollers

Sons and daughters on their shoulders

They walk away

Into the sunset 

The war is over

Heroes on horses

Call your mum you still have time 

Half a life to make things right

Your therapist will beg to differ

You grew up the way most wish for 

Nothing is the way it used to be

That’s ok we’ve gotten used to 

Changes in the course of history

Everything repeats and will be 

Nothing like it used to be

Fragments of our memories

Are stored away on my computer

Pictures in the Philippines 

When we still thought we had a place

We still thought we’d be ok

We still thought we had a future

How did we mess this up 

So you just closed the door 

You packed it up

The t-shirts and the coffee cups

And all that I hold on to 

Are ball pen hearts

On birthday cards

They’ll be here when I want to

Shed a tear

For everything we won’t do

We walked away 

Into the sunset 

The war is over

Heroes on horses

Hold on tight tonight

When you feel like walking 

By the canal and cry

When you feel like talking 

Give me a sign 

And I could try 

Take back some of the things

that I said that night

It wouldn’t make it right

We walk away

There’s nothing much left fighting for 

There’s nothing here but dying slowly

Is everything worth trying for

Just fleeting now 

For evermore 

We covered all our tracks with branches

That came down with the avalanche 

Down the hill it rolled and trenched us

With rocks and snow

And pebble stones

There’s nothing left worth lying for

There’s nothing left but falling slowly

Sometimes all you need is love

Sometimes all you got was lonely

Nights and starless skies above you 

Nothing here to light and guide you

I don’t believe that I was home 

When you were throwing pebble stones

We drift so far

And slip 

A/part of you 

In my heart

Told me to climb up that rock

And all I got

Was covered in rain and in mud 

By an avalanche 

We called it love

I call you evermore 

You won’t pick up

We gather little rocks

Beneath our window panes

Sometimes when I wake up

I still don’t feel the same

I hear a little knock 

I hear it hit again

But that was just a drop

Yeah that was just the rain

We drift so far

And slip 

A/part of you 

In my heart

Told me to climb up that rock

And all I got

Was covered in rain and in mud 

By an avalanche 

We called it love

I call you evermore 

You won’t pick up

And I turn my back to the door

That you walked out

And all the time

That I spent on the floor

When you had left but no

Other place to go

It seems so long ago

That we were young and slowly 

Falling in love

When we were one and only

Throwing pebble stones

Into the sea

Annie’s in pain

She wouldn’t tell you if you asked her

Carries her weight

And a bottle full of liquor 

In one hand

There’s a certain kind of sadness

To any morning train

Holding in the Monday madness

As it’s pushing through the rain

And i try not to think too much 

But I recognized the station from 

The day that we got off here

To escape the serenading 

Annie don’t go yet 

I know it’s not easy

Just stay the night

In the candlelight

I will keep your secrets

If you leave them here tonight

I was watching

The trains go 

While I lied to you

On the phone

Sometimes it’s easier to miss you

Than to be with you 

Where will this go

Annie don’t

Annie don’t go yet 

I know it’s not easy

Just stay the night

In the candlelight

I will keep your secrets

If you leave them here tonight

I’ll keep them with me

Our skyscraper memories

Your hand in my coat pocket 

The other one raised up

So high in the air

It points to the sky

Your lavender nail polish

Glistened so bright in the sun 

Oh my

How did you forget about it

You’re breaking the very promise

You gave me that night 

Oh my 

Annie, what have you done

This time it will feel

Just a little different

Coming home to see

That you no longer live here

This time I won’t be

The one to sit and listen

I don’t need to hear 

Just how much you missed me

You missed this 

Dismissed it 

Or did you 

Don’t ask me for forgiveness

It’s different

You did this 

At least you can admit this

Do you even feel

Like you’re no longer with me

I was always here

While you had grown so distant

I’m outside looking in

And I’m the one to witness

The difference

The wind it turns without permission 

It gives no indication 

I know that it will take me 

Away from here

Turn the lights down slowly 

Let your mind just settle down

Put your hands in rose water

Turn the lights down slowly 

Let your mind just settle down

Put your hands in rose water

Does your world feel smaller now

That we’re out of those waters

And the night comes crashing down

Turn the lights down slowly 

Let your mind just settle down

Put your hands in rose water

Does your world feel smaller now

That we’re out of those waters

And the night comes crashing down

You found peace

In the silence of the trees

In the distance that we keep

I recognised 

The kindness that you left with

Like your echo through the leaves

Time slips

Through my fingertips

I’ve not forgotten 

The last thing that I heard you say

Stressed out in the doorway leaving 

I know you would not give it any meaning

You found peace

In the silence of the trees

In the distance that we keep

I recognised 

The kindness that you left with

We got no time to let go

We fought a fight on cannonballs

We got no time to let go

We fought a fight on cannonballs

I’m out of lines and metaphors

Hello my friend

Did you see me walking through the snow

And all we had

Was wrapped inside our winter coats

Hello again

Have you tried to give your feet a rest

I traced your steps

Just to walk right back behind myself

Holding hands

It's too easy not to let you go

I watched them dance

The flakes around your reddish nose

I suppose right now they remind me of you

Do you think about me too

I was the one to trust

You were the one

I loved you too

But we perished in bloom

Hello my friend

Have you tried to put your fears to bed

Trust yourself

But I know it's not easy when you're not your best

Take a chance

You can make it if you really try

Hello again

Hello and then good bye

Nothing hurts more

Than nothing hurting anymore

Nothing hurts me anymore

I follow her

To the water

Across by the border

That's where we'll swim

How did we get here

She draws her memories from the faucet

In a bath tub like a fortress

To wash them off

The bad ones and the horrid

Floating lilies ´round her forehead

And she says

Nothing hurts more

Than nothing hurting anymore

Nothing hurts me anymore

Let's turn away

Before we forgive

Let's walk our ways

Let's turn away

Before we forget

Let's walk our ways

I followed her

To the bottom

Of countless bottles

Got swept away

How did I get here

Tell me fast before I forget

I left a lily at your door step

Nothing hurts more

Than nothing hurting anymore

Nothing hurts me anymore

Let's turn away

Before we forgive

Let's walk our ways

Let's turn away

Before we forget

Let's walk our ways

Fire

I'm on fire

And after all this time

I'm still bad

At making up my mind

Are we mad

Or are we out of luck

(Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh

Can you lift me up

I've been losing touch

With the stars too long

I'm still sad

I feel I'll be a while

That's ok

I'll wait another life

Just to dance

With you another time

(Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh

Can you lift me up

I've been losing touch

With the stars too long

It feels like I just dreamt you up

It seems like I just dream a lot

It feels like I just dreamt you up

It seems like you don't dream enough

Take me back to the start

It's a game

That I played with your heart

Your eyes were glowing lights all golden

Take my hand just one last time

I'll take you for a ride

Into the night

With you

Into the night

You took my hand

It felt good

You said

There's a lot

I should know

How we've mistaken

Waves we made for

Streams that pulled us way too far apart

We drift far

Into the night

With you

Into the night

Into the night

With you

Into the night

Kept my promise

I walked the whole way back

We had fallen and laughed

Down the old road

Through the forest

Were we moving too fast

Summer love will

Make your head ache from

Cheap wine and perfume

In the backyard

I stood alone with you

I didn't know what to do

You wrote a letter

I remember

We had fallen in love

Pull me closer

You tiny dancer

Walk all over me

California was never closer

Back when we had dreams

I am not good for you girl

I was a lot like you

Kept my promise

I walked the whole way back

I took the long way home

You told me you worried

We were a waste of youth

I think a lot of you

Pull me closer

You tiny dancer

Walk all over me

California was never closer

Back when we had dreams

I knew that I would be the one to find you

My head was hanging by a thread

These thoughts are like oceans weighing down

You're hard to make out

When I drift between the waves

Hey pain

Come on in

Take your place

It's good to see you again

All that we had poured out in writing

It reminds me

All hearts need to break from time to time

All washed up in wine

Was I trying to drift away

Hey pain

Come on in

Take your place

It's good to see you again

Hey pain

Please don't leave me waiting

Please now

Won't you hurt me now

The time to heal is wasted on me

Please now

Won't you hurt me now

This time I'm here

I wasted all these years now

Won't you hurt me now

It's hard to feel so little lately

Maybe keep me waiting

On the lookout

And you see me inside out now

And I want you

I want you to forget

When I look down

I can see the world around now

And I'll tell you

I'll tell you I regret

I want you right now

We're moments away

Moments away

I want you right now

Are you feeling the same

Feeling the same

I want you right now

We're moments away

Moments away

I want you right now

Are you feeling the same

Feeling the same way

We're back again

When we thought we could never be

All we are

I lied again

When I said I could never do

What I've done to you

I want you right now

We're moments away

Moments away

I want you right now

Are you feeling the same

Feeling the same

I need you right now

We're moments away

Moments away

I need you right now

Are you feeling the same

Feeling the same way
