Lyrics

Hopes and Fears

• You're aching you're breaking
  And I can see the pain in your eyes
  since everybody's changing and I don't know why
  • "Everybody's Changing"

• I felt the earth
  beneath my feet
  sat by the river
  and it made me complete
  
  • "Somewhere Only We Know"

• I know you think I'm holding you down
  And I've fallen by the wayside now,
  And I don't understand the same things as you
  But I do
  • "Bedshaped"

• Lonely people
  Tumble downwards
  And my heart opens up to you
  When she says she has no time
  For you now
  • "She Has No Time"

• The motion
  keeps my heart
  running
  • "Can't Stop Now"

• I saw you
  Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
  If you only knew
  The way I feel I'd really love to tell you
  But I
  Can never find the words to say
  And I don't know why
  I can't find the words to say
  I don't know why...
  • "On A Day Like Today"

• Who ate your heart?
  You're cold inside
  You're not the one I hoped for
  I'll see you on the other side
  I'll see you on the other side
  • "Untitled 1"

Under the Iron Sea

• I need a place
  That's hidden in the deep
  Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
  Though all the world is broken
  • "Atlantic"

• And why do you say
  "It's just another day
  Nothing in my way
  I don't want to go
  I don't want to stay
  So there's nothing left to say?"
  • "Nothing in my way"

• Where will I meet my fate?
  Baby I'm a man and I was born to hate
  And when will I meet my end?
  In a better time you could be my friend
  • "A Bad Dream"

• Say a word or two to brighten
  My day
  D'you think that you could see your way
  To lay yourself down?
  And make it so but you don't want to know
  You take much more than I'd ever ask for...
  • "Hamburg Song"

• But I was made the way I am
  I'm not a stone
  I'm just a man
  Lay down your arms
  And I will lay down mine
  Rip back the time that we've been wasting
  • "Try Again"

• Who says a river can't leave its waters?
  Who says you walk in a line?
  Who says a city can't change its borders?
  Who says you're mine?
  • "Broken Toy"

• You will lie in a deep sleep
  That's when your prince's crown
  Cracks and falls down
  Your castle hollow and cold
  You've wandered so far
  From the person you are
  Let go brother, let go
  'Cause now we all know...
  • "The Frog Prince"

• is it any wonder I´m tired?

is it any wonder i feel uptight is it any wonder I don´t know what right? oh these days...after all the misery you made is it any wonder I feel afraid? Is it any wonder i feel betrayed

Perfect Symmetry

• I wish I could make sense of what we do
  Burning down the capitols
  The wisest of the animals
  Who are you, what are you fighting for
  Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life
  lived in perfect symmetry
  And maybe you find, life is unkind
  and over so soon
  There is no golden gate
  There's no heaven waiting for you
  
  • "Perfect Symmetry"

• You can hang your hopes
  On the bedsits masses
  You can put your faith
  In the foreign
  You can tell yourself
  You're doing your best
  You could do so much
  Better than this
  
  • "Better than this"

• I wish that I could be
  In the cellars of the sea
  And disappear in them
  Never to be seen again
  
  • "Black burning heart"

• I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
  Looking for somewhere to start anew
  When I was drowning in that holy water
  All I could think of was you
  
  • "Love is the end"

• And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
  When we don't want to live alone
  So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes
  And be born again
  
  • "Pretend that you're alone"

• When we fall in love
  We're just falling
  In love with ourselves
  We're spiralling
  
  • "Spiralling"

Night Train (EP)

• I've never seen such beauty
  I've never seen such clear skies
  I've never seen such high hopess
  I've never seen such tired eyes
  
  • "Clear skies"

• In every speck of dust
  In every universe
  When you feel most alone
  You will not be alone
  
  • "My shadow"

• Some days, feel my soul has left my body
  feel im floating high above me
  like im looking down upon me
  
  • "Stop for a minute"

• Time realign just what you got
  With what you nearly had and what you want
  You fall asleep and then the moment's gone
  So open your eyes
  
  • "Looking Back"
