I'd Rather Be With You

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

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

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

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

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

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
