+ YESTERDAY
Its always this time of year I go to tell you something and realise you're not here Things aren't the same since you've gone Things can't be the same when a part of you is gone
It's always this time of day I think about the time you went away I can't seem to find the words To whisper when I know they won't be heard
But I still see you driving around from time to time One headlight is out, it's out but thats fine There's a feeling inside that won't go away It's the feeling that I get knowing you were here yesterday
Home can be a place, a feeling or a person or a face I felt it in the sun and in the rain But I don't feel it anymore today
Thinking about the way things used to be, it was always you and me Thinking about the things we used to do, I wish I could be back with you
You must think I'm out of my mind and I should just forget But I haven't found a single thing as good as your love yet I know you had to leave but I thought you'd come back Even though there was no evidence of that
+ WHEN WE WERE KIDS
When I was young I had a young mind, I was fearless all the time Didn't know that I could get burned, know that I could get hurt
But it's not the same, things they have changed. Can't go back now I think too much about life and such
Take me back to when we were kids I wanna live like I'm free again Take me back to when we were kids
Now I'm living in my own home, got some kids of my own They're too young to understand what it's like to be a man But if I could say one thing today to my children, It'd be 'don't let your mind leave you behind'
Aint it funny how life has a way of making you feel like you've got nothing to say Even though you once knew how it's in the way that we grow up But even when things go wrong there's a voice inside that keeps us strong It's the one from when we were young...
+ SAME HEART
Tonight’s the night That’s I’m gonna tell you That I’m gonna let you know I’m here for good
Although we’ve been down We’ve been so high together We’ve made it far enough To never turn back
It’s time to let you know...
We’re just the same heart Under the same stars We got a head start we can make it last
We know not what to do But we know we will get through I’m fighting for you You’re fighting for me too
I remember being on the floor In the first flat we had I laid on my back Looking at the roof
I closed my eyes And in that moment in time I knew I couldn’t stay But I couldn’t leave without you
And when you said we had to go I didn’t need to be asked twice We gave away all our stuff And left the next night
And the next thing I knew We were in another city But damn, you look so pretty When you’re that happy
It was only you and me...
We’re just the same heart Under the same stars 9 out if 10 bars We’ve been everywhere
We never know how to start But We’re lead by the same heart Sometimes need a jump start But we’ve made it through
Now we’re back home After 10 years away I wouldn’t change a day That we’ve had
Cause every day that we had Was full of moments that made me glad And even though I’m back I’m glad I’m here with you
Yeah, we’re getting old But this love shows no signs of ceasing I’ll still never need convincing That it’ll always grow
And every day I thank the stars...
We’re still the same heart Under the same stars We’re back home at last For better or worse
There’s nothing we can’t do I’ll do anything for you I’d go anywhere with you Cause you’d go with me too
+ THIS OLD ROAD
This old road that I’ve been on got me repeating the same song I’m covered in red dirt Just sweat through my last shirt
I’m convinced this time that it’ll be Different once Im back in the city Not gonna go back down, I’m gonna make sure that I’m holding out For something good
I can already feel the pace I’m nervous and it’s showing in my face 6 years without you near But now I’m wondering why I’m here
I was walking now I’m running to your door Although you might not recognise me anymore But I’m just the same guy, you might remember why I left left last time But now I’m back and I want to do this right I’m committed and Im different this time It’s taken me this long to realise I was wrong and you were right I’m home tonight
I’m not asking you to say That things will just go back to the same way they were All I’m hoping that you’ll do Is let me in to talk to you
Whatever the outcome may be Whether or not I stay in the city At least I know that I’ve tried To do the thing that I thought was right
But there’s a part of me that longs to be on the move It’s the part of me that first let me to you I guess Id rather Run than build a place to stay, it’s just the way This man was made
+ THE OLD ESTATE
I'm heading out for a couple of days, just a little getaway I'm not trying to run away but I won't be back till next Friday It's not like the living's hard But everybody needs to part from what they do Everybody's gotta leave sometimes to find some place with clearer skies
I never thought I'd feel so good only eating tinned food Ocean swims, salt on the rims of the old estate that we drove here in
I'm taking time to read and write and re-learn what I am inside I'm giving it some time today, I'm giving time for a getaway We don't need our raincoats, we don't need our shoes We won't be bringing anything that we can't afford to lose
I never thought It'd be this nice, we're having the time of our lives
I get nervous sometimes thinking we could easily just slide back into our old ways when we're back in normal lives We can't be too busy, do too much. We need to slow it down and live like we're on holidays when we get back to town
I never thought I'd feel so free sleeping next to the sea
+ TINY PARCELS
Looking back, nothing mattered but where we were at In our lives we were drawing line, we were making plans Nothing's wrong but it wasn't long before you came along 2 blue eyes, feet the size of tiny parcels
Now nothing will ever be the same for you and me Once was 2, now there's 3
It took some time but I realised that there's nothing like this Early mornings, watching the sunrise and drinking coffee on the beach But the time same for us to re-arrange and make room
Your eyes were just like hers and you smile the way she does You're here and I feel so secure
It's so healing to find a feeling of completeness I was not expecting but you came perfecting us, you gave us the final peice
And now I know what this life is for, it's for giving yourself to those you love...
I would not be who I was if I didn't have you I could not go back because I wouldn't have you You've changed the way I think about everything I do Now there's 3 lights in my world, because I have you
+ APARTMENT LIFE
Hang your clothes out to dry The clothes line makes a great divide I see you there but I close my eyes Im scared what you might find inside
i havent heard a voice in days My lover shes in another place I feel im being left behind Guess Im tried of this apartment life
Theres a bird out on the brick walk way I dont mind it breaks up the day I dont wanna be rude but I just have to say Can you give me your wings so I can fly away
it makes me wonder it makes me stare and wonder if theres a world out there it could be rainy it could be i cant tell because im locked inside
+ GIANTS AND ANTS
I will walk along this track I won't stop walking till I get back Or till you find me down the way Or till I find myself again
See I've been drifting far away Away from the man that I became Now I know it's time that I went back And that's why I'm walking down this track
To find my home in a sea of travellers To find my home with complacent strangers/in a world of strangers There's got to be more, there's got to be more, there's got to be more Than this
Do you ever stop and stare At all of the people who live here At all of the ways that they behave And make all they're lives all look the same
I think it's time for me to change I've traded myself an early grave I'll rise up above forgiven stares Until I can find my anywhere
Among giants and ants is where I lay At the end of each and every day I'm not either one of these I am at one, I am at peace
+ 31.5
Back to school again I can’t wait to hang out with my friends It’s been a long hot summer here Now I’m ready to reappear
I just met a girl My ma told me she’s the greatest in the world She seems ok to me It’s just how a relationship should be, I spose
If I could go back Would I change the way I was I think that I’d go back, just because
Now it’s time to leave Get myself a job or a degree Let’s not think too much Being young shouldn’t feel like part of growing up
Knowing what I know now Would I have changed path I walked down Give myself some more time To think about the future, I might
I woke up today I thought about the time that’s run away 31 point 5 Feeling every minute, every second I’ve been alive
But I wouldn’t change a thing Every scar I bear is a badge of what I’ve seen And there’s still more ahead, for me
+ Wreath Flowers
There’s water in the ocean There’s some beneath our feet There’s water in the evening mist But not enough to drink
There’s Wreath Flowers in the desert That grow up from barren sands There’s still a love for you inside my heart And I hope you understand
Even though my lungs are leaving me behind I’ve still got a few more words left inside And if you come close to me, my dear You just might hear me say ‘I love you’
There’s dinner on the table And it’s only 3:15 There’s a garden full of rocking horses and apples on the trees
There’s a story in my heart, Lord There’s a longing in my bones To one day rise from this sleepy chair and breath all on my own
Even though my lungs are leaving me behind I’ve still got a few more words left inside And if you come close to me, my dear You just might hear me say ‘I love you’
You can take your house, you can take your home You can take all of the things you own You can have it all but you still won’t have it all If you could have your time again, I guess you’d do it differently, my friend Cause who would want to live the same life twice? Who would want to live the same life twice
+ Annie
I like the sun,I like the rain Id like if you’d come back again I saw you once, I saw you twice A look here and there should suffice
I put you on my mantelpiece The only frame I had at least And for a night, a night or 2 Id pray that I’d be good for you
Oh Annie I need someone who writes like you Oh Dylan You know I’d always write for you
In sharing pieces of our mind In sharing stories from our time Id share a spoon, I’d share a look Annie you know, my heart you took
I remember when the rain grew strong We found some shelter under a palm A crack of light, a second soon My Annie had no time to move
A fallen tree, a fallen branch At once cut short our sweet romance And since the day the tree did fall I cannot garden anymore
Oh Annie I need someone who writes like you Oh Dylan You know I’d always write for you
I wonder if you’re sitting there Thinking about the times we’d shared A weekend with your folks or mine A weekend I can’t leave behind
On crystal shores of medium depth I found the place whence I wept But all the tears within my soul Could not bring back my Annie doll
Oh Annie I need someone who writes like you Oh Dylan You know I’d always write for you
+ What Do You Call a Man
Have you come across this place? If you haven’t, thats ok But if this is what they call ‘too long’ My kingdom for a new song
If there’s treasure in the trees Who would know to come and see But if this is what they call ‘too long’ My kingdom for a new song
What do you call a man who still can lie What do you call a man Live within a place where dreaming comes to die
You can call it what you want You can call it what you need But if this is what they call ‘too long’ My kingdom for a new song
What do you call a man who still can lie What do you call a man Live within a place where dreaming comes to die
+ Future Song
Walk me down to the waters edge Take your worried little mind and put it in
Walk me down to the rivers edge Take your hourglass eyes and put them in
No one knows what the future holds But if it hold a piece of something I hope it holds a piece of you
How many times must I take a walk down memory lane Just to realise nothings different, nothings changed Everything’s the same
No one knows what the future holds But if it hold a piece of something I hope it holds a piece of you
Fight or flight can take you there To backwards thoughts in backwards chairs And put you back to sleep in a backwards world
When I wake I’ll meet you there, find you in the wreckage there and put your love into my heart
No one knows what the future holds But if it hold a piece of something I hope it holds a piece of you
+ The Moon
Walked out the door, I saw the moon Hanging on my roof in the middle of the night
Yellow face I recognised and your big sad eyes, they were just like mine
I said ‘hey moon, come over here sit with me for hours and this will all go away’
So I spent the night alone, as it would seem But the moon was always there with me
But when I woke up in the day I fell away from fantasy And it was time to face the big bad world
Did I want you, Did I need to feel as though you want me to Things that don’t change throw me But you know I want you just the same
Walked out the door, I saw the moon Hanging on my roof in the middle of the night
You drew me in with a big wide grid and yellow teeth I was scared and needed something
But when I woke up in the day I fell away from fantasy And was time to face the big bad world again…
Did I want you, Did I need to feel as though you want me to Things that don’t change throw me But you know I want you just the same
