I don't want you to worry about what it looks like down the road
About what happens when we are old
I don't want you to think about the kids that we might have
About how long we might last
Money don't matter, fights don't last long
I swear that when I'm right I'll tell you that your wrong
So I'll make you a promise that for as long as we have left
Everyday will be like the first day we met.
I don't want you to care about the love being lost
About what happens when it stops
I don't want you to wonder how it is that we'll survive
Or the work we mightn't find
Mistakes they don't matter, problems are solved
I swear if you start dragging I won't be dragged along
And I'll make you a promise that for as long as we have left
Everyday will be like the first day we met.
I don't want you to think that I'll start minding when your out
Because I'll never be aloud
I don't want you to think that I'd start acting like a kid
I'd leave before I did
Direction don't matter, we'll let the wind blow
I swear when your dick I'll be the first to let you know
Because I'm making you a promise that for as long as we have left
Everyday will be like the first day we met.

Dare to Breathe

I remember those nights we'd drive home in that big old car
the street lamps flashing by like shooting stars
the silence, ambiance, so comfortable
you'd smile put your hand on my shoulder say son,
don't make my mistakes don't follow my path
I started to late, its not fate, you don't need to do what I have
you won't know till your old, how life works but still
I've gotta try, n'if you'd just listen you'd be king of the hill
Pull over the car, get out and look at the stars
Son your so very small, but you could have it all.
You grew older I grew bolder thought I knew it all
the game how it was played, how to set up for the fall
how to lead how to succeed, I was a kid without a care
and ego I couldn't see so it was a good job you were still there
and all it took was a look and some simple words
and once again I was ten and we were stood at the edge of the world
we just chill, just watch a film or play a video game
I was lost, and you knew it but you loved me all the same
Pull over the the car, get out and look at the stars
Son your so very small, but you could have it all.
You'd tell me about space, about worlds much bigger than this,
about galaxies and light speed and then you'd give me a kiss
and squeeze, I couldn't breath, but I felt so safe,
your warmth, so tall, the scratch of your stubble on my face
remember, and hold on, to everything I have said,
and if sometimes it seems hard, remember that its all in your head
it's not luck, your just as good, just as strong as anyone
Someday you'll be a man and you'll shine brighter than the sun
Pull over the car, get out and look at the stars
Son, your so very small, but you could have it all.
Here, Here we are, in this big old car...just daring to breath.

Small. Weird. Loves.

Such a silly girl in such a big bad world
she's got bats in her eyelashes and gold in her curls
and if you give her a smile, she'll give you a twirl
and then so much more than that
With a fist full of hair she light up the dancefloor
She likes what she gets and gets what she asks for
Attention and a helping hand or
A place to stay the night
The pastel shirt on the pale boy
Wants a man to treat him like a playground toy
His pouty lips and his eyes so coy
And his back turned to the world
He's asked his age and he tells his lies
And with a fistful of cash he closes his eyes
It's a lot if he's lucky and he is lucky sometimes
So he wears bruises like tattoos
Got run....
Gotta run....
Gonna come.....
Then it all goes dark
She's lost her hair and she's clinging on
To a man who loves her like a loaded gun
And when the shot rings out he says it's just for fun
She's frightened but alone
In her heart she knows, but she'll never leave
She's seen to many branches snap on too many trees
So she let her pain slip beneath her tears
And closes the door on it
Dissolutions, no conclusions
An empty bar playing country music
Each new beer brings a new solution
A different shade of paint
And each new night stumble home
Midnight strikes and bells toll
Vomit falls and eyes close
And it all begins again

Wasteland
02:53

In the wasteland, there are diamonds
scattered on the floor.
No-one sees them, cause their broken
they don't shine anymore
abandoned buildings full of pretty things
broken picture frames
fractured families Polaroid memories
no-one knows their names
when the sun finally goes down, you'll have nothing left
so if you love him, you should tell him so, and forget
In the darkness theres a goddess
all dressed in white
She sees your hidden scars, sees you as you are
she sees your whole life
That time you spoke too soon, beneath the full moon
and let down a friend
that night you took your time and let the stars align
and set about an end
by the time the leaves fall from the trees, it'll be too late
if you want to kiss him, you should, but don't delay
Amidst the heavy fog, there is a lost dog
he's crying out
much like you did, but as a scared kid
you were to scared to shout
what do you fear now, can you talk aloud
can you open up
are you still lost, or are you star crossed
is it hard to talk
Soon you will be old, and your tears will be ice
so if you want to fuck him, you should, but close your eyes
In the swamp grass theres a carcass
full of rats and lice
once a fretful soul, now a warm home
now a swell of life
and what you cant see is thats what you'll be
and someday soon
and your pain will cease and you will find peace
humming a worldly tune
You shouldn't wait, no you've waited long enough,
if you want him dead, then kill him, best of luck

Life Through A Window
03:22

I felt the call through the blue grey afternoon
A whistle and a hum and the most beautiful tune
So I sat on the crumbling window ledge
The sun lit up my face and settled in my chest
I saw it all again, I saw the walks we'd take
I saw the empty hunks of steel on the abandoned railway
I saw it as it was, the songs that went unsung
I saw the patch of dying we set alight when we were young
I felt the call of the brand new stretch of road
The commuter and the homeowner who's stretch of land was sold
The protesters horn and the consequential screech
The angry birds and frightened hares and the honey bees
I saw woman that the newsman terrified
How she won't look a sweatshirt directly in the eye
She used glance, but now she's to blind see
That if she's kept of the streets she'll watch twice as much tv.
The speciality that stands grazing in a field
It's not a friend or animal it's an un eaten meal
The hopeful thing with feathers drifting through the sky
Not a scientific wonder, just a way to survive
and The nursery school teacher, with whom I had my first crush
Now struggles up the steps of the number 40 bus
And lollipop lady who used to help me cross the road
Has long since retired cause she couldn't stand the cold
I saw a time for spending and I saw a time to save
But it depended on the angle it depended on the day
There was a trick of light and a change of scene
And what would have passed for foolishness now seemed like bravery
I saw honesty in fiction and falsity in truth
Life lessons in literature and bullshit in the news
Aliens exist and Jesus was a lie
And then nothing seemed and no one seems to cry
