Didn't he try to run as fast as he could go But it was slow Didn't he try to jump the building but he tumbled down below He said he'd swim across the oceans Just to prove to you he tried But they had dried He walked through dirt and all the creatures there had died And we're all there is We can be real ordinary Yeah we'll kill these years And show them extraordinary He'd practice every day at home While all his friends would play outside and never show off his new skills if they did ask he'd run and hide They think he's weird You think he's charming even with his oddities He'll never look at you directly but you know he always sees And we're all there is We can be real ordinary Yeah we'll kill these years And show them extraordinary

Faraway 03:56

We wished on Sunday One day this would be the start of every week I'm taking pictures to remember things I was never meant to see And post them up on walls right next to posters of my favourite band And then I dropped your hand All my Love is far away now All my Love is far away now All my Love is far away now And I'm wasting wishing it away And when its dark its always dark I'm always inside in the light We'll stay real close 'cos it's the only time That quiet is real nice But this is silent way too silent And I'm waiting in the dark It's been too dark too long All my Love is far away now All my Love is far away now All my Love is far away now And I'm wasting wishing it away My Love

Touch 03:54

I'm rather impressed that you stayed around You ran with the punches that were going down And given the option of another face You turned it away and put me in my place By the time I realised I wanted more A key to your house that I'd hide under the front door And settling into yet another weekend night My dresses are hung up and my heels are out of sight Don't touch don't break it They say we made it Heading straight into what we're told is hard to find Clutching at anecdotes while pushing through the climb And waving at others as they tumble down the hill If we stay here we're breathing slowly being still Don't touch don't break it They say we made it Finally deafened all the voices in our heads The ones that were close to us when we were almost dead And sitting between us are hands held much too tight But silence has beat us and it almost feels just right Don't touch don't break it They say we made it

Wish you were there to lay me down I'll hold your hand so tight and pour you out Don't tell me not to bite it's my first time Trying to act all cool and read all fine But you're all mine Caught me screening you Secretly know this game of how to lose Paint on that virtue I'll be clean and kind Thought I was innocent I'll change your mind I won't let you breathe I won't give you air Just take what you can get Take it while it's there Call me queen of this Crown me if you dare Lay down next to me Hold me while I'm bare Try not to get my faces wrong Could easily forget where they came from You like the one I do when you think I'm done No smile nothing there Just overcome So don't say you're pleased Think we both know that you're trying to be Someone else I'll keep you down We'll play the other game And put my face on upside down I won't let you breathe I won't give you air Just take what you can get Take it While it's there Call me queen of this Crown me if you dare And Lay down next to me Hold me while I'm bare

Smile 03:37

Did I tell you I loved you? Did I use my words? My mouth will run away don't know what to say So I'll be silent When will you come around again I'll leave a six pack in the fridge 'till then And when I've drunk them by myself I know that I was too afraid to simply say That darling you make me smile Oh darling you, you make me smile Remind me how For a while I'll leave a wall with your pictures on You look so sweet in that torn up one Stuck back together Couldn't tell that it, that it was ever undone Touch up my top lip, take a sip Touch it up and I'll hide the rip Somehow I'm content you are happy, So I'll make you say That darling you make me smile Oh darling you, you make me smile Remind me how For a while Is it enough? I'll play it rough but you don't own me And can you stay I cannot say 'cos you don't know me yet Oh darling you make me Oh darling you, you make me smile Remind me how For a while
