Just the morning’s touch
Sometimes it’s too much
Tumble-dry my heart
When you could just let it rest
Discomfort fades
Like the midday shade
Here’s when doing least
Is how you do it best
Light as a feather
Changes like the weather
Ohhh
This is my dally spell
That only I can tell
This is my lock
To a secret door that shuts out the day
This is a line I draw
Clearly in the sand
And stay here
It keeps it all at bay
Can’t let in the light
Someday soon it might
Factory restarting’s
The method to this pain
If you dig a pit
And just sit in it
Soon your only option’s
To come back out again
Light as a feather
Alone but together
Ohhh
This is my dally spell
That only I can tell
This is my lock
To a secret door that shuts out the day
This is a line I draw
Clearly in the sand
And stay here
It keeps it all at bay
And at moss speed
It will grow
As long as I stay still
Slowly creeping
It will grow
As long as I stay still
Lifting softly to the sun
As long as I stay still
Counting calmly back to one
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
As long as I stay
Still
This is my dally spell
That only I can tell
This is my lock
To a secret door that shuts out the day
This is a line I draw
Clearly in the sand
And stay here…
And stay here…
And stay here
It keeps it all at bay

God Damn It, My Friend

You’re a heavy handed boy
I see the walls rise around you
I see these worlds you’ve created
They’re one and the same
Yeah, I think I know you well
Identified all your problems
But every time they’re forgotten
You keep playing the same old cards
Why do you have to make it so hard?
Yeah, oooh
Why do you have to make it so hard?
Yeah, oooh
Couldn’t you just take the clearer path,
Not tread the road through the darkness?
Cos there are those that are with you
Don’t leave them behind
Yeah, I think I know you well
You’re a man on a mission
Well, I demand that you listen
Before you leave us again for the stars
Why do you have to make it so hard?
Yeah, oooh
Why do you have to take it so far?
Yeah, oooh
Cos you’re not sitting alone
Make up your mind
Cos we’re no longer young
And we don’t have the time
Why do you have to make it so hard?
You’re a heavy handed boy
Why do you have to make it so hard?
Yeah
Why do you have to make it so hard?
Yeah, I think I know you well
Why do you have to take it so far?
Ohhhh
Oh, god damn it, my friend
Make up your mind
I can’t take any more
And we don’t have the time

Thinking

I’m not a fan of thinking
Caught up in my mind
The way I know everything turns out
The exit’s hard to find
So people always tell me
To filter all that out
Breathe in all of the nice feelings
And breathe out all the doubt
Well, that sort of thing doesn’t work for me
Telling myself I’m feeling fine
Maybe I just need better company
To understand this brain of mine
Cos try as I might
And in the middle of the night
I’m thinking all the fucking time
I’m not a fan of thinking
No, I’m not a fan of thinking
Yeah, that sort of thing doesn’t quell the fears
Telling myself I feel alright
Maybe I just need better ideas
Before I go give up the fight
Cos try as I might
And in the middle of the night
I’m thinking all the fucking time
Yeah try as I might
And in the middle of the night
From the flick of the light
Til the morning bright
Try as I might
There’s no end in sight
I’m thinking all the fucking time
All the time

Set In Stone

I’m not joking when I say,
Sometimes it’s nice to laugh
We sit and listen to stories
We’ve already heard a billion times before
It’s like walking home
Every step is comforting and warm
Under covers through the storm
And I’m not kidding when I say,
Sometimes I think back to
The last day I didn’t worry
About the smallest little details of my life
It was a while ago
You know, I’m not sure if there was one at all
Smiling faces on my walls
It’s all set in stone
And it could be so easy
It’s all set in stone
And it could be so easy
Please listen when I say
Sometimes it’s nice to know
Each day is getting better
And things just aren’t the way they used to be
Sure is a nice thought
And nice thoughts sometimes turn out to be true
Like the thoughts I had for you
On a bench at platform two
It’s all set in stone
And it could be so easy
It’s all set in stone
And it could be so easy
I don’t wanna be remembered in a million years
And I don’t wanna be remembered in a thousand years time
I don’t wanna be remembered a hundred years from now
And I don’t wanna be remembered when all the lives I know are over
On a distant day
Maybe a Friday
In a photograph
I don't wanna be remembered by you
Like that
All I want is to be thought about today
I just wanna be thought about today
I just wanna be thought about today
I just wanna be thought about today
I just wanna be thought about
