I'd Rather Be With You 02:15
lyrics

staring at myself in the mirror trying to start another day of living tell me what am i doing here running round in circles but i'm never winning if i'm honest with myself which doesn't happen very much just lay it all out and say i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you why am i still wasting my time chasing all my dreams to where i can't get to all i want is your hand in mine two of us could chase to where one's not meant to if i say this right out loud is it what you want to hear will you come back and say i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you now i'm sitting on my own i know where i'd rather be there's no other way to say i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you i'd rather be with you

Postcard 03:25
lyrics

Driving halfway across the county Don't notice pretty places I pass through Escaping my existence for a weekend by the sea with you I forget the world when I am with you Things don't seem to matter for a while Everything is magical when I see your loving smile If I were to send you a postcard It would have a picture of the sea I'd write it with care and send it with love to you from me Driving back home across the county Listening to songs that we both love Makes me think of glorious last summer when we first fell in love If I were to send you a postcard It would have a picture of the sea I'd write it with care and send it with love to you from me If ever I'm away from you I'll find myself a beach And think of all the coast we've walked along Dig my toes down in the sand and though you're out of reach I'll send you a postcard of a song If I were to send you a postcard It would have a picture of the sea I'd write it with care and send it with love to you from me With love to you from me

Cider Song 03:20
lyrics

Wake me up, make me up Golden like the sun Then soothe me softly off to sleep Comforting and numb Hey good looking You entice me every time You've got your hook in You're all that's on my mind Oh oh oh you're so appealing With you I could just lift the ceiling I can't resist your magnetising You pull me in oh Take me take me somewhere new With a beautiful and blurry view I don't know how I got here and I just don't care at all Build me up, lift me up Bottled courage makes me brave Set loose my honesty Could get into a little trouble here maybe Bring on a little danger Things get hazy Excitement of a stranger More than a little crazy Oh oh oh you're so appealing With you I could just lift the ceiling I can't resist your magnetising You pull me in oh Take me take me somewhere new With a beautiful and blurry view I don't know how I got here and I just don't care at all But you're a bastard in the morning How you deceive me Every time you leave me I spend the day in shadow vowing not to fall again Say that I'll forget you cos I know I'll just regret you But then you show up with your thrills and spills And pull me in again Oh oh oh you're so appealing With you I could just lift the ceiling I can't resist your magnetising You pull me in oh Take me take me somewhere new With a beautiful and blurry view I don't know how I got here and I just don't care

From Where I Stand 03:49
lyrics

Coming home from another long hard day He's dreading just walking through the door She starts up the controlling demeanour He wonders what he does this for He could be so much happier If he got his act together I know things look different when seen from the outside I've been there before and it's not easy To hide the misery you're living there on the inside That's just how it looks from where I stand Sitting by the window watching for his car She's desperate to hear about his day Needing him to validate her small existence Terrified he wants to run away She could be so much happier If she got her act together I know things look different when seen from the outside I've been there before and it's not easy To hide the misery you're living there on the inside That's just how it looks from where I stand You have to do it for yourself Nobody else can live your life Don't waste it being unhappy Please don't waste it I know things look different when seen from the outside I've been there before and it's not easy To hide the misery you're living there on the inside That's just how it looks from where I stand Things look different when seen from the outside I've been there before and it's not easy To hide the misery you're living there on the inside That's just how it looks from where I stand

Poison Arrow 03:49

Why do I not see it your way Why did you come here today When you know I have nothing to say Leave me leave me please go away Can't you see I don't want to know Can't you see you really should go I don't need your poison arrow Go and aim somewhere I don't know Cos I know what you'll say to me That I didn't try that I didn't care I don't need to hear it all again Cos you know it's the same for me I could accuse you of the same you don't want to hear what is the point When you leave I may breathe a sigh Though I know you'll return by and by When you do I will hold my head high I won't let on how you made me cry Cos I know what you'll say to me That I didn't try that I didn't care I don't need to hear it all again Cos you know it's the same for me I could accuse you of the same you don't want to hear what is the point

Alive 05:28
lyrics

I can't stop this ringing in my ears I can't stop this feeling that I'm racing through the years Chased by all my irrational fears Sometimes I'm amazed that I can see through all the tears And all this time I'm alive All this time I'm still here and now Chasing racing days and months and years until I'm sure I can't go on Yes I'm still alive I can't stop believing that I've failed Sometimes life just stops me and there's no wind in my sails Now I get the feeling that I'm done Missed out on chances that I should have taken when I was young And all this time I'm alive All this time I'm still here and now Chasing racing days and months and years until I'm sure I can't go on Yes I'm still alive And all this time I'm alive All this time I'm still here and now Chasing racing days and months and years until I'm sure I can't go on And all this time I'm alive All this time I'm still here and now Chasing racing days and months and years until I'm sure I can go on And all this time I'm alive And all this time I'm alive And all this time I'm alive And all this time I'm alive
