1.	A life Without You 03:50	lyrics	buy track
What can I say? I’m still picking up what’s left The odds and ends Of the mess we made Just so you know I still glance through every window Of every place we use to go Cause I might see your face And I’m not sure how well I’d take it But I’ve been keeping on I don’t play the songs about you anymore I’ve been so alone Plotting my revenge And a life without you So tell me now How can I forget When it feels like you’re still around Hiding in the sounds All the records we played All the books we read out loud Ringing in my ear Singing me to sleep Chorus But I’ve been keeping on I don’t play the songs about you anymore I’ve been so alone Plotting my revenge And a life without you Without you in every frame Photos that by now I should have thrown away I know I know I know Someday I’ll get around to it I’ll find someone new More cool than you are Cause I’m a little bruised but I’ve got room for new scars As I stumble home from the war we started with fewer friends and a new apartment Well it’s not as empty as I thought it’d be without you
2.	Merry Go Round 04:09	lyrics	buy track
So you should be My dear Aware I live to wear you down And I should know by now It gets you hot To burn me out We always feed the flame The mercury rising The fever never breaks And we take it lying down Merry go round Heart on the ground Head on the table So if you don’t mind I wanna ride something more stable We gave it a try Turn out the lights Sweep the confetti Round merry go round I wanna come down Why don’t you let me go? Now we’re cut to the quick We’re love sick Or just too weak to resist a backslide So for another night we swear this is the last time As we fumble in the dark To sweat out the feeling That maybe there’s no hope for us To ever stop the bleeding Round merry go round Heart on the ground Head on the table So if you don’t mind I wanna ride something more stable We gave it a try Turn out the lights Sweep the confetti Round merry go round I wanna come down Why don’t you let me go? Cause it’s more than how you toss and turn That’s keeping me awake Even on our best behavior This is more than I can take But you are that sunburn That never fades away And I’m a ring on your finger I always come back around Merry go round Heart on the ground Head on the table So if you don’t mind I wanna ride something more stable We gave it a try Turn out the lights Sweep the confetti Round merry go round I wanna come down Why don’t you let me go?
3.	New Muse 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Well I think I’m gonna need a new muse The one I’ve got we’re a little out of tune The way she drains me Forgive my attitude But I’ve played this song For too long I was searching for a mate for my soul Something warm to hold when I’m feeling unwell But she leaves me cold It’s more than just a chill Why I still hold on I can’t tell But now that I’m falling all over you Tell me your name Or I’ll just call you baby Pardon me love For dropping that line But anyone else is just a waste of time Now I think I’m gonna need a new muse The one I’ve got Only makes me sing the blues But all my thoughts are slurred More absurd with every move I make As I try to find the words to say But now that I’m falling all over you Tell me your name Or I’ll just call you baby Pardon me love For dropping that line But anyone else is just a waste of time I’m feeling lonely Won’t you stay a while Let me spoil you like an only child I’ve been out of love It’s been so long Now that I’m falling all over you Tell me your name Or I’ll just call you baby Pardon me love For dropping that line But anyone else is just a waste of...
4.	Strangers Again 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Spider on the window pane I never could could tell If you’re out or you’re in I’ve been hanging round for days now In case you come back again But this time I’m done flailing about I’ll play myself out Fade to a whisper I should have known from the start That someone like you... You got the best of me You were the death of me Here’s a toast from me to you To the ghost I’m gonna be to you Cheers to one more broken habit Dead on the vine And we’re strangers again As we become an open casket To all of our mutual friends But I know You’ll be crossing my mind The small of your spine The tips of my fingers So once more With feeling this time! To remind me who you really are You got the best of me You were the death of me Here’s a toast from me to you To the ghost I’m gonna be to you No more raising hell Every time you come over No more “let it go” How you made me feel Either high or hungover This is letting go You got the best of me You were the death of me Here’s a toast from me to you To the ghost I’m gonna be to you
5.	Settle 04:08	lyrics	buy track
We’ve been digging up a gravesite Slipping through the fault lines How dare you look at me like nothing’s wrong? The gracefully avoided questions I said I’m fine Hey, just forget it But I can feel you restless in my arms So you don’t have to say we’re fading now Tell me all the ways we hold each other down This is obviously more than just another fight Just to break the silence Singing Hold my hand I’m pretty sure the worst is yet to come So this can be the anthem Of our last revelry Holy moly you are beautiful But you’re the worst thing That ever happened to me What’s on your mind? Do we really have to talk about it now? Don’t you think it’s time we settle Settle Settle down You’re building up the walls And I can barely feel a pulse We’re standing on the edge Like it’s now or never Singing Hold my hand I’m pretty sure the worst is yet to come So this can be the anthem Of our last revelry Holy moly you are beautiful But you’re the worst thing That ever happened to me And when you’re gone Amidst the fallout And revising of history You’ll say come on let’s be adults about it I know we’re not the kids we used to be But I could have waited for you But you were never mine to hold My hand I’m pretty sure the worst is yet to come So this can be the anthem Of our last revelry Holy moly you are beautiful But you’re the worst thing That ever happened
6.	Oceans 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Ocean blue I could drop my line A thousand times And never find a fish as fine as you Ocean wide I could set my sails and without fail I drift in your direction every time I don’t even have to try It’s always you on the horizon Well I’ve always got my eyes on you Ocean green I was fishing for A metaphor To summarise Precisely what I mean But it all came out obscene Like when I said “Won’t you let me surf your body?” Damn that didn’t sound so naughty in my head I should of wrote this song instead But all these oceans in between Couldn’t hold me back You’ll see That you You’re the sun to my moon Making me brighter Turning me on I don’t shine without you Yea you You’re the moon to my tide Pulling me closer Lifting me up Getting me high You You’re the tide rushing in Dragging me under I just surrender How could I resist? When you You’re so much more If I drown in your ocean I hope I never wash to the shore Ocean sky I see your face in Every constellation But it may just be my eyes Playing tricks on me
