You think you know how it is - you’ve got your own ideas You think you know your own mind - you’re talking to your own kind Time speeds up, you cool down I wasted mine, I messed around Time waits for no one, its true Everybody goes through the same I was just like you I took my shot before my aim Let your feet leave the ground And stop to smell flowers But the science is sound Ten thousand hours You don’t know how to fit in, you don't know where to begin You want the world in your hands but you don't have any plans You want in to get out You are stuck, mooning about Look into the mirror, darling Everybody looks much the same I was just like you I took the credit not the blame Let your feet leave the ground And stop to smell flowers But the science is sound Ten thousand hours Are you scared or do you just not care enough? Are you bad or are you simply acting tough? If you know what you want Then why act nonchalant? Will you be a diamond or are you happy rough? Let your feet leave the ground And stop to smell flowers But the science is sound Ten thousand hours

If That's How You Want It To Be 04:34

I’ll be your bed head golden trophy Hot looking and kinda dopey... I’ll be your favourite strict teacher The one who took you to the double feature It’s not gonna be It’s not gonna be It’s not gonna be hard for me I’ll be your messy drama queen Loving you while treating you mean I could be your plucky sidekick Your evil nemesis playing the dirty tricks If that's how you If that's how you If that's how you want it to be On and on... all you do is complain! Frustrating boy you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me crazy I’ll be your summer holiday dream Romantic and overly keen Take me quick or take your time Take me anywhere but here would be fine It’s not gonna be It’s not gonna be It’s not gonna be hard for me So wrap me up tight, now undress me, Turn on the lights to see you caress me I can be anything you require I got the stuff cause I’m your supplier If that's how you If that's how you If that's how you want it to be On and on... all you do is complain! Frustrating boy you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me crazy With the things that you said Can't forget But I see it's not me that you want Or you need So get off the phone now, and out of my bed Leave me alone now Leave me alone now, get out of my bed, And out of my head... oh... All you do is complain Frustrating boy you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me away I keep trying just the same But you're driving me crazy

Horses Dream of Horses 03:42
lyrics
buy track
We used to lie in the gutter and gaze at the stars I told you my stories, you showed me your scars Cut a rug til the sun came up Couldn't stop, couldn't get enough But that seems a million years ago Last night instead of you I dreamed of my computer screen Woke up and laughed that biology could be so mean Working all day and into the night isn’t right But both we do - Oh, and I miss you... Horses dream of horses Lovers dream of lovers Golfers dream of courses Pillows dream of covers We used to lie under covers and stare at the fire I read you the paper, you showed me ‘The Wire’ Cuddled up til the sun went down Cozy in my dressing gown But that seems another life ago Last night instead of you I dreamed of my computer screen Woke up and laughed that biology could be so mean Working all day and into the night isn’t right But both we do - Oh, and I miss you...

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running 04:14
lyrics
buy track
When he came I was afraid Told myself it was all too soon Went on down to the panic room Where I built my defences and I prayed Scared of being swallowed whole Scared I’ll lose control So I run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away Still I lifted the blockade Pulled my head out of the ground Made myself take a look around. And I came to my senses and he stayed Sick of being left behind Tired of being blind When I run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away Run & I run & I run, run away It’s not the first time But, between you and me, I jump the gun But I never mean to hurt anyone when I run Run away

Hey Love 04:23

Hey love, could it be true? Could it be you’ve Come by the old neighbourhood? Well I’ve rearranged – it’s all changed - since you were here. Oh, how long has it been? Well it seems like it’s been years. I know I cried so many tears! I couldn’t, I wouldn’t listen to - you know I couldn't, I wouldn't, I didn’t listen to you Now I know what you meant for me Won’t come you ‘round again, come inside Get comfortable, stay awhile Can I pour you a drink, by the fire Take your coat, lose the tie… Its okay love, you can stay love Its okay love, you can stay love Hey love Hey love, remember me? Remember we were once Too close to see? When you come and go how’s a girl to know if you’ll return? What with the headache and the heartbreak and the after-burn. I’ve got some lessons left to learn! He wasn’t, he wasn’t the one for me I guess He wasn't, just wasn't, wasn't the one for me Now I know what you meant for me Won’t come you ‘round again, come inside Get comfortable, stay awhile Can I pour you a drink, by the fire Take your coat, lose the tie… Its okay love, you can stay love Its okay love, you can stay love Hey love

This is insane, my brain is breaking down over you Never felt raw before so tell me what I'm supposed to do   Used to know my moves now I just nod to the beat I'm stuck to my seat, can't get to my feet I used to be so smooth now I just can't get in time Or think of a line. I got to unwind...   Monday to Friday I burn for you And come Saturday night I'm a dancing fool And I'll dance until my heart breaks I'm in love with you Dance away my heartache I'm in love with you   Can you explain remaining friends without benefits? Touching you's tough enough when my heart’s so swollen that it splits Used to be so cool now I just stare at my phone I want you alone, won't you throw me a bone?   Used to be all rules now I just scream and I shout, I got to break out - get outta the house... Monday to Friday I burn for you And come Saturday night I'm a dancing fool And I'll dance until my heart breaks I'm in love with you Dance away my heartache I'm in love with you

I've been tied up for a while - I've been busy And you'll never guess how much I missed your nervous smile - makes me crazy! You're surprised, well I took my time to work it out - Should've said it before - But you're shy and I didn't want to freak you out Let's not wait anymore Oh - whoah I'm gonna check you out tonight Oh - whoah I'm gonna take you home tonight You could be my superstar - if you want to Cause you're clever and you know just what and who you are - and I want you You're a fine intellectual I'll take you out though the library door Find your kind super-sexual. Work it out - you and me on the dance floor Oh - whoah I'm gonna check you out tonight Oh - whoah I'm gonna take you home tonight Oh boy, take off those frames, let me see those blues eyes Feel the tweed on your thighs, you've been thinking too hard... Put down your books - not as scary as it looks. I'll get out my library card... Oh - whoah I'm gonna check you out tonight Oh - whoah I'm gonna take you home tonight

All Alone Is Okay (Solitude's Alright) 03:28

Walking down my street I see the faces grim and sad I'm out of step, can’t find my feet, I’m lost I feel so bad I thought that I was right and being strong I'm so full of regret, what I said was so completely wrong. Oh you All alone is ok, solitude's alright I’d rather be wrapped up now in your beautiful, your beautiful light Oh you I close the gate, I walk the night I know I made mistakes Yesterday was certain - what a difference a day makes! You always had me when push came to shove And now I know it hurts so hard 'cause this is really love Oh you All alone is ok, solitude's alright I’d rather be wrapped up now in your beautiful, your beautiful light Oh you It's always been you...

When You Notice Me Again 03:28

When you notice me again I’ll be beautiful and thin When you notice me I will be someone you’d like to talk to everyday When you notice me again My eyes will change from blue to green When you notice me I will be someone you’ll want to be with everyday If I start by living for today If I find the words I need to say Would you laugh at me? Would you turn your head? Would you take me up in your arms instead? If I did it come what may… Would it be okay? When you notice me again I’ll be happy in my skin When you notice me I will be someone I’d like to be with everyday
