Scary Love 04:26
Something tells me we're not through well maybe I'm just foolin you Aren't I the curious one head in a thousand songs about you Is this where I've been leading you to steal a final piece or two Make way the fortunate ones and look at what we'd become for so long And I still sail around these thoughts and reasons why If only I could dance around this fear of love but I can't Is this where I've been leading you to steal a final piece or two And I still sail around these thoughts and reasons why If only I could dance around this fear of love this scary love this scary love this scary love this scary love this scary love this scary love this scary love this scary love

Take me down, go where the fear is, understand why As we try, forget the weary ones Why don’t you, fall in love with yourself again. Be afraid but do it anyway You don’t need to grin and bare it sometimes you just need to cry Nothing changes when your near it looking back its different now it’s different now it’s different now it’s different now it’s different now You don’t need to grin and bare it sometimes you just need to cry. Nothing changes when your near it looking back its different now it’s different now it’s different now it’s different now it’s different now

Time with you mindless i'm torn we're in too deep now careless i know careless i know Come be near me break down these walls cos love reigns defenseless but careless i know It's a long way from here such a long way from here It's a long way for me it's a long way from here and such long way from here it's a long way from me Time with you we're in too deep now It's a long way from here such a long way from here It's a long way for me it's a long way from here (careless i know) and such long way from here it's a long way from me it's a long way from here (careless i know) and such long way from here it's a long way from me

Petrichor 05:20
Seamless charmless silicone soul hurts us more than we care to know floating around with the umbrella people forgiving the sound that they make Are we waiting for the storm to pass let us smell the petrichor at last standing on the bridge both cradled in rain watching the shadows on rocks again standing on the bridge both cradled in rain watching the shadows on rocks again on the rocks again on the rocks again on the rocks again Lover be near me petrichor wash over Lover be near me petrichor wash over Lover be near me petrichor wash over Lover be near me petrichor wash over Lover be near me petrichor wash over Lover be near me petrichor wash over

Through all of this I promise I won't let you down just like a dreambut one where I won't shut you out I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you Through all of this I promise I’ll just make you proud it’s more a kiss for now then i should be around I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you I don't wanna wait for you

Eyes shut tight, much tighter than before, with fairgrounds still running round my mind. Scattered colours i no longer recognise, changing shape right in front of me So what are we saying, what are we saying, what are we saying Hopeless where do we go Scattered colour I no longer recognise, changing shape right in front of me So what are we saying, what are we saying, what are we saying about love this time, about us this time, about love this time, about us this time

Sorry 03:40
I said a word, it was only a word that I'd heard, well I'd kept it quiet, but it was only a matter of time, it was only a matter of time So I sat around, pondering thoughts in my mind, (in my mind) A word that would prove so profound A word that was so hard to sound Ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhh Ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhh Sorry (I'm sorry I am) Sorry Kind for a while, but then i've always been fooled by a smile and now a few lessons learned am i just the worm that you turned am i just the worm that you turned i'm i just the one that you turned Ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhh Ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhh Sorry (I'm sorry I am) Sorry

But For Us 03:36
Sometimes my lame observations ask why won’t you fall in line for me And thoughts lie in strange conversations so how has this never felt so real oh what a world it would be, together now oh what a world it would be together now Oh what a world it would be Oh what a world it would be but for us I’m failing myself through my imagination but I know in time i won’t be beholding to you so what of it when we’re plagued by the lack of a reason to live and you won’t lose anything, only true love oh what a world it would be together now oh what a world it would be together now Oh what a world it would be Oh what a world it would be Oh what a world it would be but for us

Now make it now there's never a time that's tomorrow lose the thoughts in your head of all the things you never did cos you've been trying maybe you've been hiding like you like me Eyes facing out, face them in so you can see yourself again so who’s laughing now take your time for the world is ours cos you've been trying maybe you've been hiding you've been trying maybe you've been hiding you've been trying maybe you've been hiding you've been trying maybe you've been hiding like you like me

Sow Wisely 04:35
Rain yourself down on me make yourself so proud and take up the slack they'll all run rings round you leave you where they found you no looking back Choose, choose, choose to sow wisely choose, choose, choose to sow wisely Shine on my old soul peel back from all that hurts, it's fine, we'll learn to laugh again til tears stream your face send shivers down your spine choose, choose, choose to sow wisely choose, choose, choose to sow wisely choose, choose, choose to sow wisely

All Memories 04:15
The things you say and the way you breathe your restless hair as falls on me I won't change any of it not a thing I won't change you If you don't change me The nights you stayed the way we played if you'd had your way we'd have played all day I won't change any of it not a thing I won't change you If you don't change me don't just face the way you know (turn away from all you know and don’t let love run cold) don't let love run cold don't just face the way you know don't let love run cold don't just face the way you know don't let love run cold All memories now All memories now All memories now All memories now
