With all these to do lists I forgot why I started in the first place Should I be climbing up this ladder Or sitting on the step thinking again? Sometimes it’s hard to concentrate or keep a steady pace And it’s too scary to look down But I don’t wanna miss the view And besides I’ve been told it will Haunt me in the night If I don’t think things through It’ll keep me awake Like the coffee I have driving home late How come I never feel at home Until I’m about to leave? Didn’t know what it was to be alone Until I moved out to the city I guess I couldn’t think in pictures today Sometimes I tell people I’m fine But I’m just waiting out the time And it’s too scary to look down But I don’t wanna miss the view And besides I’ve been told it will Haunt me in the night If I don’t think things through It’ll keep me awake Like rolling windows down driving home late

We climbed up high You said the distance felt right As a middle child Between the ground and sky You lit a light Just to watch it flicker It reminded you Of the waves that day When we swam out far You said the feel of water In summer’s like Sun in winter And you kept on swimming Without looking back It’s so uplifting, the way you don’t care It’s so refreshing Your mind is an ever-growing garden Ever-growing garden Ever-growing garden

Movie 02:24
Haven’t seen a movie for a while But I just might tonight So I can see the world through Someone else’s eyes Let them take the weight from my shoulders Bring my shoulders down And up here I’m gonna leave the curtains open because My room looks so homely in the reflection With plants and instruments Lamp lights and instruments And I don’t care if I don’t sleep at all I’ll keep watching characters and situations unfold And I don’t care if I don’t sleep at all I rarely can anyway The night before my birthday

Pencil Drawn 03:25
This fading sky looks like The back of my mind Where everything is drawn with pencil I see windmills and pylons Streetlights not yet switched on All this metal can be drawn with pencil When I stay all alone There’s not much that can go wrong But if I say how much comfort that brings me It might never be the same I start drifting into another daydream And the lights start coming back on And I can’t help thinking it’s a shame Cause I love those moments in between Remembering things completely or Feeling any way fully Leaving the country for the city Me with you and me with me So as the lights start coming back on I can’t help thinking it’s a shame Would I still love those moments in between If they didn’t always end so quickly? My favourite memories too They’re all moments that I knew Would be over soon But I’ll put that to The back of my mind The back of my mind again The back of my mind The back of my mind again

Colours Fade 02:52
They never fall asleep before me But they don’t know That waking up too early Feels like traffic in the summer heat This time will be different I promise This one won’t get broken Quicker than red leaves fall This song will be better Than all I’ve done I keep saying This song will be better Than all I’ve done before But if happy ever after’s only Acceptance Should I keep searching for a balance Or should I just wait until The colours fade away

Sun Song 03:22
Didn’t think I’d end up here today It feels so right Yesterday my thoughts were too much I should have gone out in the sun 
I’m just watching time I’m just spending time out In the sun Sometimes I get too focused On all the wrong things Sometimes I get too careful And I need to zoom out
8.
We were half asleep Lying in the ocean breeze I knew that it was good and I’d wanna go back Though we live so many miles away I still wanna go back I would walk around the coast all day Looking for that place Didn’t feel the cold Didn’t dream of anywhere else I knew that it was good and I’d wanna go back Though we live so many miles away I still wanna go back I would walk around the coast all day Looking for that place Home to me Is travelling in circles with you But now you are Under the moon During my day And there’s nothing I can do

To Go On 03:17
I close my curtains and eyes for a while I can see the road and feel the wind right near me And the sea’s shuffling sand like packs of playing cards When I close my curtains and eyes for a while I can see the forest ground light up like a dance floor And I can see the coloured roofs that let me know I’m half way home From the window of the train That gives me so much to say So much to say When I close my curtains and eyes for a while And start to miss the world outside I know I’m ready to go on To go on

Guest Room 03:38
In the guest room Lying on the carpet I felt peace like I was Going back and forth on your motorbike On the backseat I promised my wrists could hack it It’s funny how I just spent the whole time staring at your jacket And in that room I realised Everything I ever felt was Leading to what came next Like winter into warmer months And I felt peace like I was watching a plane window turn into a mirror Everything’s okay when it’s in equal balance It’s funny how artificial light looks so good in the distance So in that room I lay there Staring up at paintings that seemed Somewhat familiar like the people I make up in dreams And I tried to stay awake Hard as I try to stay asleep some mornings Of all the times when I have been completely present It’s funny how many of them Never really even happened
