What you gonna do?
My thoughts caught up you
When it comes back round
What you gonna say?
What I meant to say?
When you look at me that way
Cause I can’t belong with someone else
If you can’t belong to me
Cover your words with distractions
Are there places you’d rather be?
And I won’t wait for another
Until we care for each other
And time will tell when you’re alone
I still need you but
You don’t have to know
Did you even know?
Was there room to grow?
When I caught you out
And was it all the same?
It’s easy just to blame
Things are different now you say
Cause I can’t belong with someone else
If you can’t belong to me
Crossing the line with intentions
Is so hard when it’s meant to be
And I won’t wait for another
Until we care for each other
And time will tell when you’re alone
It’s just the same with things unknown
And I won’t wait for another
Until we care for each other
And time will tell when you’re alone
I still need you but
You don’t have to know
I still need you but
You don’t have to know
I still need you but
You don’t have to know
I still need you but
You don’t have to know
All alone, all alone
For another
All alone, all alone
For another
All alone, all alone
For another
All alone, all alone
For another

Plastic Gold

Ship it up
Then let it out
Waiting for something new
Hold it back
For someone else
As if they already knew
Believe and take it there
Caught up in the air
Forever true
Deep beneath the ground
Leave without a sound
It’s overdue
So cool it down
Just like tomorrow today
When time won’t show
It’s all in front of me
This plastic gold will never show
When things are left to be
Contain the thought
Don’t let it grow
That’s just the way for me
Believe and take it there
Caught up in the air
Forever true
Deep beneath the ground
Leave without a sound
It’s overdue
So cool it down
Just like tomorrow today
When time won’t show
It’s all in front of me
Cool it down
Just like tomorrow today
When time won’t show
It’s all in front of me
So cool it down
Just like tomorrow today
When time won’t show
It’s all in front of me

Sun Mantra

|
Could it transcend?
Does it really matter
Blinded in the rapture
Lets not pretend
That it really mattered
In and out of phase we dance
Was I too late?
I’d complicate to have it all
Restrain so I don’t fall
Don’t compensate
For my mistakes, they’re on the wall
Sometimes too close to call
Midnight undone
Know it while you have it
No creature of habit
Our mantra sun
Shame you didn’t answer
Breaking in and out of chance
Was I too late?
I’d complicate to have it all
Restrain so I don’t fall
Don’t compensate
For my mistakes, they’re on the wall
Sometimes too close to call
I wanna let you know
Maybe we’ll find our own
Oh I wanna let you know
Maybe we’ll find our own

Coming Back

Why did you leave so easy?
Where’d you go?
Here I am
When I was yours completely
Did it show?
I’m calling out
I’m calling out to you
Every time, well I see right through you
I’m calling out
I’m calling out to you
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
And I’ll forget you’re ever mine
When things don’t seem to fall in line
So now you seem so lonely
Do you know how I am?
And why’d you say I’m empty
Does it show?
I’m calling out
I’m calling out to you
Every time, well I see right through you
I’m calling out
I’m calling out to you
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
And I’ll forget you’re ever mine
When things don’t seem to fall in line
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
Coming back home to you
Was it only for the best
Only for the best
And I’ll forget you’re ever mine
When things don’t seem to fall in line

Folding
Let me in, I’m holding on
Sometimes I feel I’m craving someone
Who doesn’t exist when you’re gone
(Alone)
So take me somewhere else
(Alone)
I don't feel myself
(Alone)
Take me somewhere else
(Alone)
Now that we’re older
We’ll talk it over
Know who we are
To know who we are
I’ll stop and listen
Lose all ambition
Know who we are
To know who we are
Always
Leave it there, this days too long
Replace the cause, I know I’ve done wrong
Still my names on the tip of your tongue
(Alone)
So take me somewhere else
(Alone)
I don't feel myself
(Alone)
Take me somewhere else
(Alone)
Now that we’re older
We’ll talk it over
Know who we are
To know who we are
I’ll stop and listen
Lose all ambition
Know who we are
To know who we are
Now that we’re older
We’ll talk it over
Know who we are
To know who we are
I’ll stop and listen
Lose all ambition
Know who we are
To know who we are
