Scattered 03:59
Suppose I said that we were never really winning That our love had hit the ceiling before the skies were ours Suppose I put my hand on the small of your back Goosebumps and shivers could be common a happenstance Now our clothes are off, scattered on the floor I have never felt, quite this way before Now my clothes are off, and her skin is warm I will never know, how she feels like home Its 3am and I'm never gonna get to sleep Thoughts of you are creeping in, because I'm seeing you next week But I guess we knew this was always the risk we'd take But its funny how all movie stars with drawn on scars make it look so fake Now our clothes are off, scattered on the floor I have never felt, quite this way before Now my clothes are off, and her skin is warm I will never know, how she feels like home She feels like home, home i used to know And now its all too real She feels like home, home i used to know And now its all too real Now our clothes are off, scattered on the floorI have never felt, quite this way before Now my clothes are off, and her skin is warm I will never know, how she feels like home

You weren't there at midnight, this New Year's eve Had your head down on your toilet seat instead of there with me I thought the day would never come when I was weak and you would run But now its here And its funny how all my best songs are about the times that I'm alone Like this time now you're gone from here Though a start must have an end, this is not the end We are so incredibly young, who are we to say its over? I thought the day would never come when I was weak and you would run But now its here And its funny how all my best songs are about the times that I'm alone Like this time now you're gone from here This town is home Just like it's always been Maybe this time next summer or spring we'll be good But for now, you are gone from here This town is home Just like it's always been Maybe this time next summer or spring we'll be good But for now, you are gone from here yes for now, you are gone Maybe somehow you'll come back To me

Blue Eyes 03:58
I put my hands around her waist earlier today Her eyes lit up like only she can in that way I found her hairs on my sheets, and now I can see one on my jeans She wore my hat like she didn't know, its summer time and it won't snow All I've ever known is gone and wasted Because when she came along she went and changed the rules So now I'm feeling high, like I've got something inside And I don't wanna change it, I don't wanna lose her When she's here, I know I'm not living in the real world When I'm there I never really get the girl She knocked down my tv, whilst we were drinking green tea She came to see me play a show, i think I'll take her on the road with me one day All I've ever known is gone and wasted Because when she came along she went and changed the rules So now I'm feeling high, like I've got something inside And I don't wanna change it, I don't wanna lose her All I've ever known is gone and wasted Because when she came along she went and changed the rules So now I'm feeling high, like I've got something inside And I don't wanna change it, I don't wanna lose her When you're lost, you can still find love Though it's not quite there, its not far off I can't think, every time I speak Of the words to say, that could make you stay All I've ever known is gone and wasted Because when she came along she went and changed the rules So now I'm feeling high, like I've got something inside And I don't wanna change it, I don't wanna lose her

Risks 02:00
I'll be thinking about you all this summer Now you're on your train back to your loved ones And I, swear I'll miss you Though I can't explain the things that happened I've been left confused and somewhat maddened by you And the lack of you here You should stay here, you know I am a risk worth taking There's not a single feeling I am faking I know I am better than him for you I don't, want to be the guy who breaks you But if it means that I can then take you, and make you mine I will You should stay here, you know I am a risk worth taking There's not a single feeling I am faking I know I am better than him for you I don't, want to be the guy who breaks you I've got a feeling I can take you, and make you happier Than he really ever could You kissed me first on the log flume ride Then we bumped our heads at the end of the slide Your hair was all in my face in the picture Now my sleepless nights are not the same, I've got my fan on high without your complaints Although I honestly preferred it with them You should be who you want, and see who you like And you like me Tell me what you want from me, because I'm ready to give you everything I know how it feels to be in this place Being so in love when it feels like a mistake But I think I can fill his shoes

Retrace my steps through the woods, Lost my way when I left the path Will I ever know where I am or where I've been? Or will I see my friends' faces again? Because the world is getting colder all the skies are getting darker And the checkered shirt that I'm wearing is so thin The rations that I brought lasted me the first two nights And the people that I saw, didn't hear my screams My mind is playing tricks with the shadows in the trees Whilst my hands are shaking around my gun Perhaps the end is close, but if it was me and I had a choice I'd be back home with you in my arms A little further this way, and I will find my way home A little further that way, and I will never come back I have never been this afraid, or felt quite this alone So I will find my way, find my way back home The chequers on my shirt are all tearing into one And the denim on my jeans is stained from all the blood There are tears in my eyes they show the feelings that I have inside Death is never meant to come this soon If I was given one more chance to go back and change my life I think I'd make you my wife and go live in the city Its funny how it's in these times, they can make you all feel dead inside but realise the preciousness of life Sad that its too late, will they find my body or won't they wait There'll be a picture of us against my chest A little further this way, and I will find my way home A little further that way, and I will never come back I have never been this afraid, or felt quite this alone So I will find my way, find my way back home

Napkin 04:01
I've never felt this bad before Oh my heart is on a coaster and you're the napkin that can soak up all that's wrong There's no one else that I could call But if there was I couldn't promise them that I would even ever call at all Because I'd be calling you So I'll stay here, stay here until I feel okay And though it may take all night, and maybe its not right I don't care Try to catch the bus over to yours But the service is so inconsistent that I knew from the beginning I would have to walk So I clear my mind with the cold air and when I get to yours my cheeks are pink and my hands so cold I can't feel yours I can rely on you to make me laugh When I'm feeling so dead inside Don't think you'd blame me if I didn't want you to ask So I'll stay here, stay here until I feel okay And though it may take all night, and maybe its not right I don't care Will we ever get to see, ever get to be what we want to be what we want to say what we want to do here? And will we ever get to know what we want know, what we want to say what we want to make, what we want to make here So I'll stay here, stay here until I feel okay And though it may take all night, and maybe its not right I don't care

I see her crying tears of joy, such a shame we couldn't reach that stage on our own It was far too far to go I see her smiling smiles of hope, with happiness and everything inbetween, not a set of my billboard dreams He's twice the man I'll ever be, Double what she saw in me, So I'm happy with your new found glory, You know that its just a case of mistaken identity I see them walking hand in hand, got a five pound note and my guitar left in mine 'Cos you know I couldn't do for you, all the things he promised that he would do, but you know all my lyrics go on you He's twice the man I'll ever be, He's double what she saw in me, So I'm happy with your new found glory, You know that its just a case of mistaken identity Black suit, black tie, white shirt, you know why We died today Two years have gone by, with no thought as to why, 'cos we died today we died today He's twice the man I'll ever be, Double what she saw in me, So I'm happy with your new found glory, You know that its just a case of mistaken identity Case of mistaken identity Case of mistaken identity
