I can feel the world spinning but it doesn't feel quite right I don't know what I need more of but there's not enough inside I don't think I know the answers I don't think they're in the skies I don't know what I am feeling but I see it in your eyes Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place It's ok the world can wait while we escape Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place We can find a better way to pass the time (Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your...) I can feel the world spinning but it doesn't feel quite right I don't know what I need more of but there's not enough inside I don't think I know the answers I don't think they're in the skies I don't know what I am feeling but I see it in your eyes Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place It's ok the world can wait while we escape Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place We can find a better way to pass the time (Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your...) Honey honey, when will you take me take me Beyond the daydreams daydreams We'll be free We can do such lovely things oh We can dance and we can sing together Darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your

When we part, when you leave, something falls away I have nothing, I am nothing, when you go away It seems so long since only yesterday Nothing's as it should be since only yesterday Everything falls away the sky turns grey Cos things are not okay when you go away I just wanna hear you say my name Why'd you go away? Where are you today? Before you came, I was always Stuck behind a stare, trapped in this nowhere Get sick of them, sick of me You're the only one, I can be around I Couldn't see a way out but then you came You saved me from myself when you came You're the thing that holds my broken shards in place Without you there to catch me I fall back to those ways And it is not a case of wanting it's that I need you, yes I do cos things are not okay when you go away Living's not the same without you here to take the pain away Why'd you go away? Where are you today?

I made some excuse about how this was all too soon Said I need a little time to get myself in tune I gave you some line about how life gets in the way How about we disregard that let's just take it day by day All this inertia I know it hurts ya Don't even feel like a real person I need a reason I need a purpose Time goes so quickly I'm still learning Let's fall in love Just because It feels so good When you look at me Let's fall in love Just for the sake of it People tell me I'm not healthy wrapped in love's cocoon I can't help that I just wanna while away my days with you And the world never did have much to offer me We have it all in here though, will you be my everything? All this inertia I know it hurts ya Don't even feel like a real person I need a reason I need a purpose Time goes so quickly I'm still learning Let's fall in love Just because It feels so good When you look at me Let's fall in love Just for the sake of it And I'm still learning And I'm still learning And I'm still learning Time goes so quickly And I'm still learning

on the other side i'll meet you by the pond when the reeds are tall and the days are long it comes so easily it gets its arrow deep like strawberry daiquiri (on the other side, I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there..)

these autumn blues descending and you've given up pretending and the terms they are a-changing and suddenly you're a stranger and what happened to the summer when we'd snooze side by side til sundown what am I sposed to do? just wanna be next to you oo where where you when i needed you you left me hanging left me to the sweetest pain but still it's true just wanna be next to you oo.. oo.. oo.. ah it's not too late for you to come to me i'll open heart and arms and legs to thee cos i'm addicted to the love you've given me oh baby and it'll take as long as it'll take with open heart and arms and legs i'll wait cos i'm dependent on the love you've given me oh baby just gotta be next to you

said you needed space I'm getting in the way you just need some time to play your little games gazing into new extraordinary eyes questioning your sacrifice so go swig your southern comfort in the shady depths seeking validation from the fairer sex guess it's not enough that I say you're the best don't I mean anything? we can't have it all we can't have it all (can you remember when we met I can remember how it felt remember how you looked at me doesn't our love mean anything? what about all the things we've said? what about all the years we've spent? I thought we always would be friends how could this really be the end?

I wouldn't see you and I like to I float above you yes I do Well oh baby my hair's on end about you

let's leave now quickly it's getting loud in here when it's just us 2 nothing interferes when you're sad like me it keeps it beautiful we'll outrun the comedown if we go fast enough we'll pass days in sea caves on heaven's honeymoon narcotic children's laughter keeps us up we're only happy we only care so much the birdie told me to only bear so much (we're past the honey moon..)

Today I found an empty house, I wandered in and looked around It was cold the rooms were large, They echoed with every sound I climbed the stairs right to the top, The window was open and I looked down to the ground it seemed so far away I leaned out I thought about plummeting down But it would make such a mess so I caught my breath Looked up instead, above my head, there's so much space But I'm stuck here on these two legs, in this heavy head Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast I'm on the up but soon I will crash Give me a reason to carry on I will fly and soar Sometimes it feels like it's getting too much Can't seem to handle my sugar rush Darling please stay here and catch me because I'm about to fall You're the only one that I need You're the only one that I see Can't seem to handle my sugar rush Can't seem to handle, it's all too much

Don't kid yourself my love What you say is not enough So much older than our years I thought we'd seen everything now it doesn't mean anything Still you say all the right things at the right time usually when you've crossed a line why blow, so hot and cold? it's getting old you change your mind all of the time sooo I don't know whether to stay whether to go please let me know darling why can't it be easy lovely carefree Stir crazy once again the old ball and chain (thought we'd seen everything now it doesn't mean anything) maybe we've spent long enough anaesthetized by love Still you say all the right things at the right time usually when you've crossed a line why blow, so hot and cold? it's getting old you change your mind all of the time sooo I don't know whether to stay whether to go please let me know baby why can't it be easy lovely carefree could it really be we're not meant to be you're not meant for me despite how much you meant to me what m'i sposed to do with all this love for you s'got me feeling blue forever i'll be feeling you so will you ever will you will you ever let me know whether i should stay or go never felt so low how m'i gonna let you go? la la la la how m'i gonna let you go? easy lovely carefree

Is anybody out there Can anyone hear me? Is anyone awake Can't just be me that can't sleep Will you sing A lullaby for me Will you bring A way to make me dream When everyone is fast asleep It starts to feel like no one in the world loves me Thought I knew lonely But this is a new low Thought I was ok But I can't seem to slow down Goodnight can you hear me Goodbye to waking agony Goodnight and sweet dreams Drift in to sleep Good night go to sleep Goodnight can you hear me Goodbye to waking agony Goodnight and sweet dreams Drift in to sleep, slow down
