Human, Dying

I need a home, a house I can lie in
The sun on your neck Is shining
The chime of the bells, the running, and falling
Tread on the water, It’s rising
I’m sick of trying
I’m only as good as the next man
I’m done with trying
I’m only a human, dying
A room full of smiles
Telling me nothing
I didn’t ask you to come here
I’m sick of trying
I’m only as good as the next man
I’m done with trying
I’m only a human, dying

I try recognise what it was that wasn’t right,
You lived close to me, felt things I couldn’t see
I don’t mind
Playing dumb
I don’t mind
I don’t remember how you talk or are looking now
Though I’d see you everyday nothing takes me back that way
All the cruel words that I said, that I play back in my head
They linger in the air,
Nothing real is ever fair
I don’t mind
Playing dumb,
I don’t mind

There’s somebody else moving in
I still haven’t packed anything
I got into riding my bike
Because I don’t know what to do with my life
And the saving grace
Of this dusty place
My friends feel it too
Somebody sleeps in my bed
The place where I’d lay down my head
I got into riding my bike
Because I don’t know what to do with my life
And the saving grace
Of this dusty place
My friends feel it too

Another life, I need another go
Another night tells everything I know
Stay with me, I can’t be here alone
My head’s under the weight of it all
Understand,
I can’t stop
The time
It’s here again, telling me how to be
All my friends know what I want to see
Stay with me, I can’t be here alone
My head’s under the weight of it all
Understand,
I can’t stop
The time

Wish You Could Speak

It sinks so hard
When all you wanna do is walk
All you wanna do is talk
With a dog that knows your name
And I wish
He’d answer me when I speak
Drop the ball from out of his teeth
‘Cos its not hard to say hello
And I only wanna be his friend
So I don’t have to pretend
That he knows what’s on my mind

When You're Not There
03:39
|

I couldn’t tell you
What makes the light come on so bright
What am I made of when you’re not there?
I don’t like calling
I don’t like speaking on the phone
You know I hate it
When you’re not there
Close my eyes tonight
There’s a hole inside my heart
I shouldn’t notice
I shouldn’t listen all the time
What am I hearing when you’re not there?
I couldn’t hold it
I couldnt hang around too long
I couldn’t stand it
When you’re not there
Close my eyes tonight
There’s a hole inside my heart

I Found It
02:22
|

People need something new
Something to hold on to
They thought it was free
Everyone’s always right
Nobody wants to try
See it another way
I found it
I found it hard
Everything’s always wrong
Days are a worn out song
Whistled into the wind
I found it
I found it hard

Need You
03:00
|
|||
I’ve become the waves
Shore in all it’s grace
I fall down from where you came
Need you today
Rain will come again
Every day will end
All your words stay with me
Need you, you see

Oh, To Waste My Time!
03:34
|
|||
I feel my head go wrong
In the cold november sun
It breaks through my window pane
And it ties me down again
Oh, to waste my time!
Oh, to waste my time!
I feel my legs give way
As the days come to an end
It breaks through my window pane
And it ties me down again
Oh, to waste my time!
Oh, to waste my time!
