- A Year In The Wilderness
Saving the best; last is always most loved
A year in the wilderness, with unspoken words all over my arms
I've been carrying your shadow; I’ve been offering a truce
I can feel your heels digging in
Do you feel like you're at home?
I was slowing down my heartbeat, before it could collapse
I spent a year in the wilderness living between the cracks
That opened beneath the world under our feet
- After The War Ends
It's not a weight you're under it's an ideal;
And I cannot be the one to pretend that what you've done is right.
Break apart at the edge of all i believe,
Pushing words into my mouth until I'm sick over my feet.
I grow tired. Tired of calling your name.
It's like a winter; a winter that never ends.
And it grows in me like a disease.
- And You Were The Hunter
Someone must know where you are
And someone must want you found
Braver than a lion I'd say
And too much heart for you to bare
You disappeared through growing crowds
Leaving footprints I daren't follow
- I Love You Satellite
Say your name in my ear
Whisper words that no one else should hear
If you mean it
Rip apart the room, pick the place that you think is where we should wake up
We've only got time left, and it's almost gone
It would have broken your heart
And i try to keep you away from that
- I Met A Man Who Wasn't There
By the river there's a man
Who holds no future in his hands
And his past is washing by
Floating through this lullaby
No one needs to know his name
How he got here
Or from where he came
- I Was The Last One
Happiness is waiting for you at the end of your life,
And I'm all that stands in your way.
Break down in the rain, just like in the film we wish our lives were about;
But they're not and we have our own path.
When we threw our clothes onto the floor in a heap and explored like we were the first people.
And we made love that night like it was the last time;
and maybe it was.
- I Won't Ever Go To Sleep Again
How am I supposed to let you go?
If I don’t know how you’ll be when you’re alone.
It’s something I’ve got to live with
I won’t write anymore.
Everything I’ve said has only broke your heart
And I know it’s so fragile
- If You Need Me I'll Be At Palomar
Time to put the pen away now
I am done and I am gone
The air is turning bitter now
I can smell rain
If you need me I’ll be at Palomar
Looking up; finding home
- Never Let Me Go
I waded out too far
And I held my breath for too long
And of that second kingdom will i sing
You were a face carved into a tree
I was an afterthought that drifted out to sea
I’m writing to the sound of your voice
- The Long Distance Runner
Don't blame yourself there's enough blood spilled
Don't cut yourself I need your help
Hope led us on; you were always so keen to run ahead
You lost yourself, I needed a savior
Please bring him home
God kills all his angels, and my best friends
My best friends
