I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like
the back of my hand
I felt the earth
beneath my feet
Sat by the river and
it made me complete
Oh simple thing
where have you gone
I'm getting old and
I need something to rely on
So tell me when
you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and
I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of
it looking at me
Is this the place
we used to love
Is this the place that
I've been dreaming of
Oh simple thing
where have you gone
I'm getting old and
I need something to rely on
So tell me when
you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and
I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute
why don't we go
Talk about it
somewhere only we know
This could be
the end of everything
So why don't
we go somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing
where have you gone
I'm getting old and
I need something to rely on
So tell me when
you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and
I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute
why don't we go
Talk about it
somewhere only we know
This could be
The end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be
The end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me
for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me
for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me
for anything you like
And I no I don't mind
This is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie
And then I'm out of this place
So tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
You say that some things never die
Well I tried and I tried
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me
for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me
for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me
for anything you like
And I no I don't mind

The last time
You fall on me
for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me
for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me
for anything you like
And I know I don't mind

"Bend & Break"

When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart
Aching waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

If only I don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well, we might as well,
we might as well
I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in another time
We might as well, we might as well,
we might as well
Be strangers
Be strangers
For all I know of you now
For all I know

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
and I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move
just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
and I don't feel the same
You're gone from here,
soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cos everybody's changing
and I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just
to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
and I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move
just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
and I don't feel the same
Oh everybody's changing
and I don't feel the same

Well it's a lonely road that you have chosenMorning comes and you don't want to know me anymoreAnd it's a long time since your heart was frozenMorning comes and you don't want to know me anymoreFor a moment your eyes open and you knowAll the things I ever wanted you to knowI don't know you and I don't want toTill the moment your eyes open and you knowThat it's a lonely place that you have run toMorning comes and you don't want to know me anymoreAnd it's a lonely end that you will come toMorning comes and you don't want to know me anymoreFor a moment your eyes open and you knowAll the things I ever wanted you to knowI don't know you and I don't want toTill the moment your eyes open and you knowFor a moment your eyes open and you knowAll the things I ever wanted you to knowI don't know you and I don't want toTill the moment your eyes open and you know

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

I noticed tonight that
the world has been turning
While I've been stood here dithering around
Well I know I said I'd wait
around till you need me
But I have to go, I hate to let you down
But I can't stop now
I've got trouble of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
I noticed tonight that
the world has been turning
While I've been stood here withering away
Well I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say
That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down for no one in town
No I can't stop now
And I can't slow down for no one in town
And I can't stop now for no one
The motion keeps my heart running

I hold you in my hands
A little animal
And only some dumb idiot
Would let you go

But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing

I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone can
anybody find their home

I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot
Would let you go

But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing

I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on,
can anybody find their home

Oh, can anybody find their home
Out of everyone can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on,
can anybody find their home

Ooo, and on and on and on on on on ...

A house on fire
A wall of stone
A door that once was opened
An empty face and empty bones
Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
And lie in your heart of hearts

Who ate your heart?
You're cold inside
You're not the one I hoped for
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side

The wind wouldn't blow me home
To lie in your heart of hearts
Will I ever see you again
And lie in your heart of hearts

Many's the time I ran with you down The rainy roads of our old town Many the lives we lived in each day And buried altogether Don't laugh at me Don't look away You'll follow me back With the sun in your eyes, and on your own Bedshaped, and legs of stone You'll knock on my door, and up we'll go In white light, I don't think so But what do I know, what do I know? I know I know you think I'm holding you down And I've fallen by the wayside now And I don't understand the same things as you But I do Don't laugh at me Don't look away You'll follow me back With the sun in your eyes, and on your own Bedshaped, and legs of stone You'll knock on my door, and up we'll go In white light, I don't think so But what do I know, what do I know? I know And up we'll go In white light, I don't think so But what do I know, what do I know? I know -
