Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday It looks different today 'Cos everything's changed since yesterday In every possible way Things seem different today Not like yesterday Is consideration More like an exception of consideration 'Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms When you're secure, do you feel much safer As days never change, and it's three years later It's like your life hasn't changed And it's three years late So how does it feel, to be three years late And watching your youth drift away What seems different, seems different today And what seems different, seems different today Is consideration More like an exception of consideration 'Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms You have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms Tonight... Tonight... 'Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms 'Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms |

If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn’t really tell me what I want to know I know, I owe, and I know that matters don’t matter as much As you think they do You will only be yourself When you can never be yourself And you will only be yourself When you understand what you know How long, will we go on with a modern way of letting go, tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go? If I know, what I know, losing isn’t learning to be lost It’s learning to know when you’re lost If I know, what I know, I’ll want to make the most of what it seems like You will only be yourself You can never be yourself And you will only be yourself When you understand what you know How long, will we go on with a modern way of letting you go, tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go? |

Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in And if you believe that now I understand Why words mean so much to you, they’ll never be about you Maybe you’re young without youth Or maybe you’re old without knowing anything true I think you’re young without youth Then you contract the American dream, you never look up once You’ve contracted American dreams,I require you to stop and look up Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself Not some invisible world Constantly searching to find something new But what will you find when you think that nothing’s true? Maybe it’s that nothing is new So you let me hear songs that were written all about you The good songs weren’t written for you, they’ll never be about you Then you contract the American dream, you never look up once You’ve contracted American dreams, you never look up once, so don’t look up Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself Not some invisible world Sing a song about myself, keep singing a song about myself Not some invisible world And I won’t tell you what this means, ‘cause you’ll already know And I won’t tell you what this means, ‘cause you already know So sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself Not some invisible world And you came along and found the weak spot, but you’ve always wanted And let yourself be everything, that you’ve always wanted It doesn’t have to be so decided, you’ve always wanted And no need for explanations, that you’ve always wanted You’ll find what you find when you find there’s nothing And you’ll find what you find when you find there’s nothing |

I created myself to be on my own
But I didn’t expect to be alone Did you create yourself to be on your own? These are the reasons things should be unknown The days won’t let you know Days won’t let you know That all I never wanted was to be there with you All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you No one creates themself unless they try to Shut up the caution that made them lie to All this talk but no one will tell me Where and when I need to go The days won’t let you know Days won’t let you know That all I never wanted was to be there with you All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you There is no reason, there is no reason, there is no reason, For that now There is no reason, there is no reason, there is no reason, For that All I never wanted was to be there with you All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you (it’s with you so) All I never wanted was to be there with you All I ever wanted to know anywhere Ever wanted to know anywhere with you |

Calling places, collecting careless
Sentences I write them down So I ignore them, and you should too, you should ignore every word Is calling what you can surrender The only way to really learn That the alphabet made up the words You could never resist to quote If all this wisdom is true Then I doubt it could really have come from you Then I am what I am not, I am what I am not So there must be something more then If I am just a thought I’m not Faster than the destination Of knowing where you really are Is where you’ve always been Or is it where you began And happiness, did it happen Sooner than the doubt it cost you You learn from the mistakes that I taught you If all this wisdom is true Then I doubt it could really have come from you Then I am what I am not, I am what I am not So there must be something more then I am what I am not, If there’s nothing more then I am what I am not, I am what I am not There must be something more then If I am what I am not Then I am what I am not, I am what I am not There must be something more then I am what I am not, I know there’s nothing more then I am what I am not, I am what I am not I know there’s nothing more then If I am what I am not |

There are times that I should try, to be so much more alive
But if time was right then I would be with you again Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point and then deny The time I spent deciding it was you again It’s when I live in a hiding place It’s the only way I feel safe When I’m safe in a hiding place (that’s not hidden now) I’m safe in a hiding place It’s the only way I feel safe When I’m safe in a hiding place And you’re full of facts but not things that could add up to words Think about meaning more as an after word As in afterward I return but don’t remain, I’m impatient for a reason To complain about winter, making me see through again Or is it your damaged reply, that makes me realise that The more I try the less that plans will help me comprehend again That’s why I live in a hiding place It’s the only way I feel safe When I’m safe in a hiding place (that’s not hidden now) I’m safe in a hiding place It’s the only way I feel safe When I live in a hiding place And you’re full of facts but not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word And you’re full of facts but not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word As in afterward |

Out of routine, the explanations you have
You’re still loathe to give them All because you’ve phrased it in a way So the explanations you have The words don’t go away If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted To deny everything I say is not uncommon The only thing that’s definitely forgotten Is what you wanted And what you really needed But I can only try to know what I wanted I will only try to know what I want If I can only try to know what I wanted How can it be gone Out of routine but it’s not as bad as you think It’s only chance you’re looking for Still in routine and the explanations you have The ideas go between If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted If you reply to everything I say so it’s not uncommon The only thing that’s definitely forgotten Is what you wanted And what you really needed But I can only try to know what I wanted I will only try to know what I want If I can only try to know what I wanted How can it be gone And it’s already gone and nothing can take it back It’s already gone and nothing can take it from being gone |

Since your breathing, is it all that a space can fill?
So just by looking in, I’ll be looking still You find and follow stories well You’re naked except for a newspaper, the headline telling me That fortune favours the brave I’ve been known to be that brave What I want is on it's way out All I needed was an easier way to stay Walking around the city as the light fades (is it all that you remain?) I’m thinking about each promise that I have ever made But I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say Century after Century they remain And if I read to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room So close the windows, keep the curtains shut forever And if I need to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room So close the windows, close the windows Isn’t it romantic, to be romantic When you don’t understand what you love Or if a word like that couls ever mean anything When what you want is on it's way out I didn’t hear cheerleading for creative writers And your cheekbones don’t taste of anything at all It’s on it's way out, it’s just an easier way to stay Talking about a city that the light made (is it all that you remain?) It’s the same story that’s been told But it’s been stories that don’t fade I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say Century after Century they remain Is it all that you remain? |

I have to stop saying “to be honest”, it’s not a real defeat
To have to stop saying "to be honest", it’s not a great defeat (No, no, no, not such a great defeat) All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way Can you tell me 10 words that you’d use, to describe the world Can you tell me 10 words that you’ve used, to describe the world To people, through people, never seem to know To people, through people, never know The more I say the more I keep confusing things, to make me feel complete So I keep lying to be honest, it’s not a real defeat No, no, no, not such a real defeat All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way Can you tell me 10 words that you’d use, to describe the world Can you tell me 10 words that you’ve used, to describe the world To people, through people, never seem to know To people, through people, never know It’s what you thought you are, it’s what you thought you are It’s what you thought you are, It’s what you never thought you are, it’s what you never thought you are It’s what you thought you could be if you tried much harder All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way |

It sometimes happens, it always happens to me
But then "always" isn’t a word I use, "always" isn’t a word I choose When I know that this won’t survive much longer Unless we alter what we have But then again survival is not why we should Stay the same, if we can’t be the same We won’t stay the same Our similar thoughts will never let us Stay the same, if we can’t be the same We won’t stay the same as we intend You know that I won’t be much help to you, But it won’t happen the way That you’ve always planned it Just so you could become, more interesting this time For a purpose, only now I know the purpose And I know that what is here will not be here much longer Unless we alter what we have, or alter what we don’t have What we won’t have, what we’ve never seemed to have What we tried to have, we’ve failed to have And all of this was just so we won’t Stay the same, if we can’t be the same We won’t stay the same Our similar thoughts will never let us Stay the same, if we can’t be the same We won’t stay the same Just because we think we are the same It’s just so we won’t Stay the same, if we can’t be the same We won’t stay the same When we believe we are not the same |

In the beginning, there were answers
Then they came along and changed All these questions and their answers seem to change So I’ll wait ‘til I find the remote part of your heart Nowhere else will let us choose a comfortable start We stop in every passing place To watch the world move faster than we do Watch it pass with our eyes closed the way we usually choose to So I’ll wait ‘til I find the remote part of your heart When no where else will let us choose a comfortable start And even if the breath between us smells of alcohol Call it confusion in the best way possible It isn’t in the mirror, it isn’t on the page It’s a red hearted vibration Pushing through the walls of dark imagination Finding no equation There’s a red road rage, but it’s not road rage It’s asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge Scottish friction, Scottish fiction It isn’t in the castle, it isn’t in the mist It’s a calling of the waters as they break to show The new black death with reactors aglow Do you think your security will keep you in purity You will not shake us off Above or below Scottish friction, Scottish fiction |
