Tonight
03:51
|

I recall that night
You were playing rock and roll
Screaming through a mic
At some damn girl
Hey do you know her well
Little more than well
Did she hurt you bad
Well I’ve been there too
When people say they love you
But they never have the room
And it stays around
The fear of nothing working out
But if you’re ready, I will be ready
C’mon and take me, take me anywhere
If you’re ready, I will be ready
C’mon and take me, take me anywhere tonight
When all is quiet
We pull into my street
And outside the car I ask
Are you coming in with me
But you’re not sure right now
If I’m leading you on or letting you down
For you it’s all or nothing
well it’s like that for me
I’m not some blurred line person
Thinking this will be easy
And then crying out
Oh when you turn around
And walk away so now we’re
Driving fast with windows down
And there’s a smile on my face whenever you’re around
And when their talk starts walking in the back of my mind
You’ll say the joke it’s on ‘em coz they’re never known what this is like
But if you’re ready, I will be ready
C'mon and take me, take me anywhere
If you’re ready, I will be ready
C’mon and take me, take me anywhere tonight
We were a speeding car in these city streets
The tires scream and we go crashing down
But you’re still holding on and won’t let go of me
When I’m spinning out you turn me around
And you say you won’t it back
Just say you’d want it back
Just say you’d want it back
Coz I recall that night
A scream and a fight and me loosing my mind
On the person I shouldn’t be loosing it on
But when you’re giving time to people
Who put their faces on
And spread whispered words behind our backs
Well that gets to me man and I’ll start to react
But my words make you cry, and I know how much you care
I see you and that open road and suddenly their not even there
So if you’re ready, I will be ready
C'mon and take me, take me anywhere
If you’re ready, I will be ready
C’mon and take me, take me anywhere tonight

Berlin
04:02
|

When I flew into Berlin and got of the plane
A woman she hit me for walking in the cycling lane
Well good job good move should have hit me too
For how damn preoccupied I was with you
And when I get to Spain it will be the same
Coz when I lie with him I wait for your messenger name
To light up the dark, great white ghost from my past
And no matter how much I live you keep haunting my heart
Coz when I go into the night
Screaming it out so loud
You ruined my young life
Even when you did didn’t I come back for more?
Coz when I go and I call my mother
She’ll ask if he’s really the reason
Behind why you get so drunk
No taxi in this whole damn city will take you home
Take you home
When the rain comes down could it wash me clean?
Or like the graffiti would you stay painted on me
Coz I see you in alleys and on photo booth floors
But when I turn and look through them you’re never there at all
Coz when I go into the night
Screaming it out so loud
You ruined my young life
Even when you did didn’t I come back for more?
Coz when I go and I call my mother
She’ll ask if he’s really the reason
Behind why you get so drunk
No taxi in this whole damn city will take you home
Take you home,
Take me home, take me home
Coz when I go into the night
Screaming it out so loud baby
You ruined my young life
Even when you did didn’t I come back for more?
Coz when I go and I call my mother
She’ll ask if he’s really the reason
Behind why you get so drunk
No taxi in this whole damn city will take you home

Wasted
04:53
|
|||
Feel this falling down
In the blue-lit room I have you now
Could you be the place where I confide?
Could you be the arms in which I always hide?
Feel my heart beat so loud
I look for you all around
And could you be the place where I’ll disclose
The way I feel about you darling like no one else should know
Coz we’re a war that starts in a moment
We are a war that starts in a moment
We are a war that starts in a moment baby
And you better fight it coz we both have chose it
I’m wasted on you, are you wasted on me?
I’ll cut out the circles and spirals in between
Coz I would love to love you but you throw it back at me
would you love to love me but you’re just too scared you’ll see?
Did she leave you like he’s left me?
Coz you know that sacred space it’s a god damn enemy
With your heart caught between its teeth
And could you be the place it doesn’t hurt?
Even in sanctuary I’m sure you’d manage to cover it all in dirt
Coz we’re a war that starts in a moment
You and I we’re a war that starts in a moment
We are a war that starts in a moment honey
And you better fight it coz we both have chose it
I’m wasted on you, are you wasted on me?
Oh cut out the circles and spirals in between
Coz I would love to love you but you throw it back at me
Would you love to love me but you’re just too scared I’ll leave
I’m wasted on you are you wasted on me
I’m wasted on you, are you wasted on me
Coz I would love to love you but you throw it back at me
Hey would you love to love me but you’re just too scared I’ll leave

Rewind
04:10
|
|||
Turn it back coz where it’s at
I can’t stand to listen to you
And turn it back coz where it’s at
That’s just your father seeping through
And I still live at home
With my fists in regret
For things I never said
And I want to be alone
When you are sucking up to someone
So that you don’t end up no one
But tonight we’ll be just fine
If we shut our eyes and put us both on rewind
And we’ll go back in time
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And I won’t have to see you tonight
Turn it back coz where it’s at
I’m still punching the wall
Turn it back coz where it’s at
His ego it’s reaching nineteen-hundred-and-one feet tall
And I still live at home
With my fist in regret
For the words I never said
And I wanna be at home
Watching the time tick by
On the computer and the phone
But tonight we’ll be just fine, yeah
If we shut our eyes and put us both on rewind
And we’ll go back in time
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And I won’t have to see you tonight
(If you call me up would it mean anything
If you took it back could it mean anything)
Oh tonight we’ll be just fine
(Oh tonight we’ll be just fine, oh)
Oh tonight we’ll be just fine
(Oh tonight we’ll be, we’ll be just fine)
Oh tonight
(Oh tonight we’ll be, we’ll be just fine)
Tonight
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And we’ll go back in time
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And I won’t have to see you tonight
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And we’ll go back in time
Shut my eyes and put us both on rewind
And I won’t have to see you tonight
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes
I’ll shut my eyes

Dirty White Flag
04:17
|
|||
If I stop throwing the punches
And throwing my words
And striking up arguments
In the places it hurts
Then who am I
Who am I to you
Who am I when I
Lay my armour down
Raise a dirty white flag
Begrudgingly surrender now
Let the kindling rest
Instead of burning everyone down
If I stop throwing the punches
And throwing my words
And striking up arguments
Man you know I’ll do worse
Then who am I
Who am I to you
Who am I when I
Lay my armour down
Raise a dirty white flag
Begrudgingly surrender now
Let the kindling rest
Instead of burning everything down

Satellite
03:35
|
|||
You’ve been calling me
Way to many times
You’re satellite
Broke down on my reply
Funny how it chimes in
Just when I’ve been doing alright
Keeping my mind on anything
To keep you off of mine
Then you call me coz you’re
Cold enough
Wanna hold me coz you’re
Cold enough
Think about me now are you
Alone enough?
I was losing faith
So I prayed to you instead
For heaven sake
I’m hanging here at second best
Coz you’re somebody I believe in
When I build you up in my teenage head
Hear every word underneath it
Eyes look to me and said
Could you hold me now are you
Cold enough
Could you touch me now are you
Cold enough
Could you love me now are you
Cold enough
Do you think about me now coz you're
Alone enough?
You’ve been calling me
But I ain’t sending no reply
Your satellite
No longer in my sky
Now and then I think of you
But I feel no warmth inside
Starting yourself on someone new
Who’ll almost wish you might,
Who’ll almost wish you might,
Who’ll almost wish you might

Hurricane
03:46
|
|||
I wanna love you
For worse or for better
But I can’t keep rhyming
Together with forever
And I won’t tell me
That my love for you it’s backward
When you got me bare like driftwood
And like driftwood I’ve been weathered on your shore
But I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
But if we were ever good enough
For you to bring the sun
Sun oh
I’d be bringing it on
Like a hurricane
Sun oh
I’d be bringing it on
And I wanna loose you
To some girl on the other side of the sea
Coz the feeling that I get from it
Something not compared to yet
And I can’t see the way
I talk my way around
Every other guy in this room
But when it comes to locking eyes with you
It’s something that I cannot do
And I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
But if we were ever good enough
For you to bring the sun
Sun oh
I’d be bringing it on
Like a hurricane
Sun oh
I’d be bringing it on
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing if we’re ever good enough oh
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you’re heart
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing on you now baby oh
(Got nothing on you’re heart)
I got nothing if we’re ever good enough
If we’re ever, ever good enough
For you to bring the
I’d be bringing it on like a hurricane
I’d be bringing it on like a hurricane

Aerial Shot
04:34
|
|||
Friday night, clearing the trash out of my car
Like tickets to a big screen drive in
See the reflections in the dark
Beaches in aerial shot
Lying in postcards on the floor
From seven summers before
And it felt like a movie
When it looked like you were leaving
And it looked like you’d never get me back again,
Never get me back again no
Felt like a movie
When it looked like you were leaving
And it looked like you’d never get me back again
Never get me back again, never get me back again
You’re young like a long lost letter,
I couldn’t dare rip apart
But old like the south coast singing
Comeback right now to my heart
Chasing your headlights in the dark
Screaming don’t you ever give me up
Flashback, we’re doing 90 on the sand
There in another guys car just
Stand on the shore; wanna hold your hand
Reading every word you say in the
Small details but I can see it now, see it now, see it now
That we’re not like a movie
And when you know that I am leaving
Don’t you know you will never get me back again?
Never get me back again no
We’re not like a movie
And when you no that I am leaving
Don’t you know you will never get me back again
Never get me back again, never get me back again.
You’re young like a long lost letter,
I couldn’t dare rip apart
But old like the south coast singing
Comeback right now to my heart
Chasing your headlights in the dark
Screaming don’t you ever give me up
See us now two 90’s kids
Running fast through the wild
Do you remember it?
Remember it, remember it, remember it oh
Caught in pictures lost innocence
And when you left with her
Did she know you like I did?
Like I did, like I did, like I did, like I did
(Like I thought I did….)
I love you like a long lost letter
And I tore you up and I feel bad now
Ran your name around the whole town
Coz the truth is that I miss you soo damn much
Chasing your headlights in the dark
Screaming don’t you ever give me up
Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up

New Year's Eve
03:21
|
|||
Out in the darkness
Far away from home
Burning my bridges
For light when I’m alone
Keeping my head down
As Christmas parties roll
Said that you’d invite me
Honestly I hope you don’t
Coz baby you hit me like an incoming year
Just to many emotions that I don’t wanna upheave
And I’ve been running, I’ve been driving for weeks
At last light I’m hoping I’ll escape New Years Eve
So if I kept on driving
Out into the west
Where there is nothing familiar
No memories at sunset
Would that make this easier
When I’m caught at midnight
With only the road trains
Like fire works in my headlights
Well baby you hit me like an incoming year
Just to many emotions from the ones that have already been
And I’ve been running, I’ve been driving for weeks
At last light I’m hoping I’ll escape New Years Eve
I’m not saying I forgive you friend,
Not even sure if you did me wrong
But I’m still throwing you out
With cards and calendars three Decembers on
Digging that great valley
Between me and everyone I know
Just a stranger in their window
Moving further,
And further,
Away
Well baby come hit me like an incoming year
With all the emotions from the ones that will never be
And I’ve been running, I’ve been driving for weeks
At last light I’m hoping I’ll escape New Years Eve
Oh at last light I’m hoping I’ll escape New Years Eve
Oh at last light I’m hoping I’ll escape New Years Eve
