I'm on a firing line Hit me a thousand times We can meet up at the sunrise and do it all again I'm on a firing line Watching the words collide Giving you the truth And I believe that's worth the pain If I can't stand I'll hold a candle I won't give you more Than you can handle Down to ashes Let the wax drip I won't give it up Until the lights dim Under the moonlight Feel like the flame might die Looking for an easier life I'm pushing you away I'm holding on too I still refuse To butter up a truth So you can take this in good faith If I can't stand I'll hold a candle I won't give you more Than you can handle Down to ashes Let the wax drip I won't give it up Until the lights dim

I don’t like Monday So we go out on Friday I was wondering if I Could get you on your own at the weekend Wake up in the same way Wondering the same thing Maybe you could go part-time And every day would be a weekend You could put it all on the line Might not work out but at least you tried I’ll be at the bar on Friday night I’ll play you whatever you like Holding back a tear in a meeting I know that you’re there for a reason Some people get a hard time That’s why I’m glad they get to meet you I don’t like Monday So we go out on Friday I was wondering if I Could get you on your own at the weekend Wake up in the same way Wondering the same thing Maybe you could go part-time And every day would be a weekend

I still believe it Different than before Been a long time coming Sing to me no more People keep it Think they found the cure In spite of what they thought I think I’m true I’m the same Same as I’ve always been Where do we belong All I once built upon moved Didn’t feel good Pain comes when you don’t want to change Now you know I’ll never leave you Forsake you though I would We’re a long time bolted Rag over the bull Twice repeat it Saturate the hue In spite of what was said I know what’s true It’s the same Same as it’s always been Where do we belong All I once built upon moved Didn’t feel good Pain comes when you don’t want to change Like a stream that leads us down to the oxbow Won’t you ebb and flow Though you try to dig your heels into the ground They could not pin us down I realise that you were worth not letting go Cast off the doubt Suspend the feeling lose it all It’s the same Same as it’s always been Where do we belong All I once built upon moved Didn’t feel good Pain comes when you don’t want to change

On one fine morning in February I saw my love Love saw me There a promise made to ever keep Anywhere my love will go is where my heart shall be Overseas so gently we will float Over Albert Bridge Over the Falls Road Though the distances will come between Anywhere my love will go is where my heart shall be Time unravelling while we were still Pulling kites through the wind When the lines are tough you tilt the reel Anywhere my love will go is where my heart shall be Overhead so clearly we can see Further down the line Faded memories Though sometimes we won’t remember these Anywhere my love will go is where my heart shall be

I’ll never know how we made it so close We tempted our fate I ventured on still caned Had to take the time to drink you in We were invincible then How am I going to break that fake That makes me want to lie You know I’ve been around that block Washed up at twenty-five The more I hurt you All the more I thought you worth the while Think about it all the time That cab you took I wish I was inside To put a pony on the fare Take each day as just a place we were Never need a reason to be for the tear How am I going to break that fake That makes me want to lie You know I’ve been around that block Washed up at twenty-five The more I hurt you All the more I thought you worth the while Think about it all the time

Joint up at the cusp Lined up in the frame No one else is up Call you by your name What you’re dreaming of Connections in your mind Pathways set alight When it gets too much I’m picking you up Oceans of white dust Drowning in the scale Images of us Stars that spin around Us as we stay awake What you’re dreaming of Connections in your mind Pathways set alight When it gets too much I’m picking you up

Think we better take this on the road I don’t want to wait for the curtain to close It’s black-out and blue with a rattling shut I don’t think that anybody here gets us More than anything Over in a moment Anyone that meets you knows the score Born to be loved There's another magpie in the gutter Picking at the moss in the fascia board Just one less we’ve got each other Just one more for the little girl More than anything Over in a moment Anyone that meets you knows the score Born to be loved Think we better take this on the road We’ll never sell out and we’ll never go cold Black out the blues with a rattling shut Doesn’t really matter if they ever get us More than anything Over in a moment Anyone that meets you knows the score Born to be loved

It’s an outline A stretched out figure Shape a path into a black arcade In the times when we’re Cut down the middle Steal some sunlight off the evening again If it’s right I don’t want to know why Easy if you don’t care My summer’s indian Riding on the air Some nights it’s a haze above the river Hold the shade off just a little bit more Give me grace and I’ll keep giving you a little It gives you truth if you stay true to it If it’s right I don’t want to know why Easy if you don’t care My summer’s indian Riding on the air
