Left Waiting
03:19
|
|||
Fairies flitter on the fringes, tiny coals glow in the dark;
Even though you have been injured, know the future's not so stark.
Fragile seashells shine and glisten, ghostly waves wash them ashore,
Underwater you can listen to the oceans' lion roar.
I can see a crystal tower, sharp and clear against the sky
Where not every snowdrop flower has to hold its head up high.
Wooden gates into the kingdom, king of rats and queen of mice
Maybe no-one comes to see them, but their tablewear is nice.
Don't say goodnight
I'd rather be left waiting
How can you leave, when everything's so crazy?
Its not goodbye, Its a picture-perfect painting.
I'll fall asleep
But the story will go on.
You know, sometimes when I'm dreaming, I can't read but I can fly.
I guess I don't know its meaning. Its not real, but I'll still try
Try to soar across the ocean, riding music notes and breeze
Skim the leaf-tips till they're low and do whatever things we please.
Cold and crystal crumbling fortress,
pulling swords from casks of wine.
Slipping drunk on frozen doorsteps,
maybe I'll dub thee as mine.
Dont say goodnight
I'd rather be left waiting
How can you leave, when everything's so crazy?
Its not goodbye, Its a picture-perfect painting.
I'll fall asleep
But the story will go on.
So don't say goodnight, cos I'd rather be left waiting.

When You're Not Here
03:01
|
|||
Don't want to quit, or say goodbye
I wont admit I'm not alright.
I just need you to say goodnight.
And every time we say hello
I just cant bear to let you go,
It's just not something you should know.
But when you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything to me
Share your dreams.
I want to be your ecstasy
and hold your hand while walking in the dark.
But you're not here.
You fill my night with glitter-stars
And when you're gone, don't go too far.
I want to be right where you are.
I'll keep you close to me, my dear.
When I'm in pain, or filled with fear
In my heart, I draw you near.
I can't tell you you have my heart
Cos this can't end if it can't start
And I can't bear to be apart.
When you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything to me
Share your dreams.
I want to be your ecstasy
and hold your hand while walking in the dark.
But you're not here.
Mmm... you're not here.
I'll sit down in this lonely town.
You're not around.
I'll lean my back against the door,
but you're not in there anymore.
I'll lay down in this empty bed
thoughts of you running through my head.
I'll close my eyes and go to sleep
so the memories, I keep.
When you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything.

Girl with a Guitar
02:10
|

I'm just a girl with a guitar
that I don't know how to play.
If you're the world I'm just a star
shining oh so far away.
And I'll try to sing to you
but my voice is lost in space.
In your sky, I'll twinkle through,
I suppose that's the best case.
Ooo..
You're just a boy with a guitar
And I think that you sound great
But it annoys me you're so far
And that's how the tables laid.
You seem to sound like heavy rain
Relaxing, cosy and safe.
So I'll play you back again
until i wear out the tape.
We're just some kids who play some songs
Oooo hoo hoo~
Sending them back and forth
and I know it wont be long
before the sound of pounding rain,
white noise becomes too strong,
and then, my love, we'll meet, again
and I hope you play this song
for me.

Days Gone By
04:37
|
|||
Rewind me, don't cry.
Rewind me, don't cry.
I want to turn back the clock
To those winter nights I know you forgot.
I need to have you right here
and figure out how to freeze time so you won't disappear
I can't fall asleep
Hoping my soul will keep.
Though we are apart
Know that you had my heart.
I am not alone,
But I have turned to stone.
How do I feel again
Without drowning in pain?
I will stay awake
thinking of days gone by
Was it my mistake?
Was it all a lie?
Its changed, the world I once knew.
The only thing left for me here is you.
Rewind me.
And I hold my memories, so very close to me.
Pages of diaries that only you can read.
If I spend far too much time
thinking of days gone by
maybe my heart will die
and I'll no longer bleed.
Rewind me, don't cry.
Rewind me.
Ah...
I know that I can't return
back to those simple days with what I have learned.
So I guess I'm wasting my days
I'm in a bittersweet reminisce reverie and my eyes will stay glazed.
I am not alone
Though I have turned to stone.
Though we are apart
Know that you had my heart
And I hold my memories so very close to me;
Pages of diary that only you can read.
If I spend far too much time
Thinking of days gone by
Maybe my heart will die
and I'll no longer bleed.
Rewind me, don't cry. Rewind me.
I want to turn back the clock
To those winter nights I know you forgot
(I want to rewind)
Rewind me.
And I hold my memories so very close to me;
Pages of diaries that only you can read.
If I spend far too much time
Thinking of days gone by
Maybe my heart will die
and I'll no longer bleed.
Rewind me, don't cry. Rewind me.

Wanderlust
04:00
|
|||
I'm not afraid when I'm swimming with sharks,
Or monsters, or things that go bump in the dark.
I will quite freely jump out of a plane,
And when there is lightning I'll dance in the rain.
Its fearless, and thoughtless, and careless, I guess,
But when I take risks they turn out for the best.
And I'l fly so far.
Lie on the beaches and whisper to stars.
I can lose my mind
In tumbling cascades, and the pebbles I find.
So I'll travel all the lands
I'll write my story with trembling hands.
Though my eyes may sting and blur
I can't get enough-
I've got to see more of this world.
I'm not afraid to go roll in the snow
While wearing my swimwear and freezing my toes.
Cliff edges don't scare me, or heights, bugs, or slime
Or missing the moment
Or running out of time
Its brave, but I crave when I'm saving myself
I'll flip from the bunk-beds, and climb on the shelves.
And I'l fly so far.
Lie on the beaches and whisper to stars.
I can lose my mind
In tumbling cascades, and the pebbles I find.
And I'll travel all the land
I'll write my story with trembling hands.
Though my eyes may sting and blur
I can't get enough-
I've got to see more of this world.
I'm not afraid to go breaking the law
'Just don't hurt nobody' is what I've been taught.
And I will quite happily go sing on the stage,
Or sail on the waves while the sea's full of rage.
I can't be afraid of these physical things;
I know I can heal from those grazes and stings.
And I'l fly so far.
Lie on the beaches and whisper to stars.
I can lose my mind
In tumbling cascades, and the pebbles I find.
So I'll travel all the land.
I'll write my story with trembling hands.
Though my eyes may sting and blur,
I can't get enough-
I've got to see more of this world.

Timeless
02:45

Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was underwater battles at the creek.
Diving for the quartz stones, building rocky nests
so we could see the glow beneath our feet.
Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones.
Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was when the sky just opened up with rain.
We were hiding in the phone box
The road became a river and the whirlpool was a drain
Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones.
(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was)
We don't need a big adventure, come on,
pick up your sword, cos I'm so bored.
Just like when we were younger
we'll turn it into a game
and make up stories and names.
While the Summer away~
Once upon a timeless memory of mine
was fighting with the waves down at the beach.
Wrestling with the water, I don't know what we fought for-
victory was always out of reach.
Watermelon, sunburnt skin,
Just follow me and jump right in.
(Once upon a timeless memory of mine was)
We don't need a big adventure, come on
pick up your sword, cos I'm so bored,
Just like when we were younger
let's turn it into a game
and make up stories and names.

While the Summer away
Sticks and stones will build our homes
And falls from trees will break our bones

Plastic Kitten
03:09
|

(lights shine and blister, flicker)
Asphyxiated kitten,
your destiny's all written.
Find a plastic bag for me
to lose my breath and memories.
Buried in its rainbow folds
no need to know what the future holds.
As white lights shine and blister, flicker,
struggling makes the dark come quicker.
Multicoloured dreams of space.
Tingly feelings on your face.
Play and pounce, or scratch and claw,
you already leapt through deaths door.
Softly, hush now, lights will glimmer,
your sight will crease and stretch and shimmer.
Colours blur through plastic mess.
I heard you cry, I must confess.
Too cute to die
what a shame, what a shame,
choked up kittycat
thought it was a game.
Too cute to die
just play, just play.
Have this final
happy day.
Asphyxiated kitten,
your destiny's all written.
Find a plastic bag for me
to lose my breath and memories.
Buried in its rainbow folds
no need to know what the future holds.
As white lights shine and blister, flicker,
struggling makes the dark come quicker.
And I'm finding I, can't, breathe.
How can this be?
Panicked clarity surrounds the scene.
Rip and tear, tug and pull.
Wish your kitten lungs were full.
Wish your kitten mouth could call.
Snuggle down pet, lightshows fall.
Asphyxiated kitten,
your destiny's all written.
Find a plastic bag for me
to lose my breath and memories.
Buried in its rainbow folds
no need to know what the future holds.
As white lights shine and blister, flicker,
struggling makes the dark come quicker.
Asphyxiated kitten.

Dance Rainbow

Rainbow eyes
I shouldn't stare
But you don't give away whats going on in there
Rainbow hands
dont touch my face
they leave streaks of colour, neon trace
Rainbow arms waving in the air-
Sparks and keys and decorations to share!
Rainbow shirt, you're easy to find.
Its reassuring when I'm out of my mind
And the sunset is indoors
Spilling lava onto seashore floors
And we'll stand beneath the light
Shining rainbow, Shining rainbow lets dance all night.
Rainbow heart, rainbow mind,
your colours curl, but they dont feel unkind.
Rainbow soul, my rainbow star,
I think I like you, whoever you are.
(Rainbow soul, my rainbow star,
I think I like you, whoever you are.)
And we're lying on the floor
trading secrets and dreams and more.
While the darkness turns to light
our rainbow hearts will feel alright.
And the sunset is indoors
Spilling lava onto seashore floors
And we'll stand beneath the light
Shining rainbow, Shining rainbow lets dance all night.
And the sunset is indoors
Spilling lava onto seashore floors
And we'll stand beneath the light
Shining rainbow,
Shiny rainbow lets dance all night.
