I fell in love with a girl that is on life support Her doctor said she might not last the week She needs a medicine like me So here I sleep I know she hears all the stories that I tell Oh I believe she understands I put ring around her finger In the hope she’ll squeeze my hand Ohh You should’ve seen her So full of life ‘Cause I found a picture And she’s the one alright I’m dying to save her But she comes with a price Well love it ain’t easy And it’s just my luck that I It’s just my luck I fell in love with a girl that is on life support Oh I’d been wandering ‘round these halls myself Am I the one that needs a doctor I need some help What if she doesn’t need All of the wires and machines What if I break her free Well she belongs with me Ohh You should’ve seen her So full of life ‘Cause I found a picture And she’s the one alright I’m dying to save her But she comes with a price Well love it ain’t easy And it’s just my luck that I Ohh She might never pull through I don’t know what I would do now alone She might never pull through So she might never know You should’ve seen her So full of life ‘Cause I found a picture And she’s the one alright I’m dying to save her But she comes with a price Well love it ain’t easy Is it just my luck that I... You should’ve seen her So full of life ‘Cause I found a picture And she’s the one alright I’m dying to save her But she comes with a price Well love it ain’t easy It’s just my luck that I It’s just my luck that I It’s just my luck that I...

My town was meant to build the boys We fell asleep to all the hammering, a lullaby of noise and these boats are build to face the waves And if no one’s gonna build ‘em how the hell we ever gonna prove our names On the river……. There’s a toll on the river Lost boys what we gonna do now who do we look to to lead us all out And can an old town ever get bold when they took it’s soul will we ever be, ever be more than our fathers ghosts We could be We could be more We hold the air ‘til Friday night Then too much oxygen at once can cause a fire start a fight and… So we drink ‘til we forget That we can’t sleep without the noise This sound was meant to build the boys But there’s a toll on the river There’s a soul to deliver Lost boys what we gonna do now who do we look to, to lead us all out And can an old town ever get bold when they took it’s soul will we ever be ever be more Than our fathers ghosts We could be We could be more Making noise on the river Cutting your hands in the dirt Endless smoke in the air breathe it in ‘til it hurts But there’s a lie that we That we don’t have to believe When we could be We could be free Lost boys what we gonna do now who do we look to, to lead us all out And can an old town ever get bold when they took it’s soul will we ever be, ever be more Than our fathers ghosts We could be more We could be more.

Clio I would throw out the rules for you put myself at harm take a bruise or two Restlessly I wake Just to feel you near For every breath I take You know I need you here Oh When you coming, around again When are you coming, I’d give anything When you coming, around again? Did I have my chance? Did you overlook me? Well you move so fast You were gone so quickly Is it all that we’ll have? Is that all you’re giving? Only half a dance Before you moved on, you moved on Without me Oh — (hook) Clio I’m the shadow of a silhouette In a shaded little corner That even the sun forgets You could bring back the light But you haven’t yet And I can’t navigate this night with only a cigarette Oh When you coming, around again When are you coming, I’d give anything When you coming, around again? Did I have my chance? Did you overlook me? Well you move so fast Honey you’re gone so quickly Is it all we’ll have? Is that all you’re giving? Only half a dance Before you moved on, you moved on Without me Oh — (hook) oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh When you coming home Clio - oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh When you coming home (X2) Did I have my chance? did you overlook me? Well you move so fast You were gone so quickly Is it all we’ll have? Is that all you’re giving? Only half a dance Before you moved on, you moved on Without me POST Oh — (hook)
5.	Awake 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Remember waking with the sun in your eyes Bright enough to make your fears all hide When did the summer run out on me Can I still dream without it? Awake, And away she goes She was the only thing Keeping out the cold… She says “It’s not forever gone” So lover hold on We’re gonna steal the sun And Honey, there’ll be much brighter days to come Have I been wasting nearly half my light Sleep walking through the winter time Why does the Summer run out on me… Awake And away she goes She was the only thing Keeping out the cold… She said “It’s not forever gone” So lover hold on We’re gonna steal the sun And honey, There’ll be much brighter days to come” But it seems like weeks oh Just living through a window Trying to find some meaning From staring at the ceiling Awake, And away she goes Well she was the only thing Keeping out the cold… She said When you’re coming undone Well lover hold on We’re gonna steal the sun And she said “It’s not forever gone So lover hold on We’re gonna steal the sun And honey, There’ll be much brighter days… to come.
6.	Feathers 04:31	lyrics	buy track
You and me were falling falling falling Like feathers in slow-motion But It was never gonna work swept away on our emotions You and me were rolling, rolling Like thunder down the mountains And we would watch the lightning Come to close to even count it Maybe it’s nostalgia And I just can’t forget you The darkness changes colour Maybe time just makes it better Now that we are older Do I cross your mind love Did we take it for granted When it was so easy to find love Do you miss the mornings When the world was younger And if you found a new love Does your heart ever wonder? What If we’d fought a little harder, harder Gave it everything we’ve got Held on a little longer would we have more than we have lost Or was it just a moment that was all that it could be And everything beyond that Was never meant for you or me Well maybe it’s nostalgia And I just can’t forget you I’m a fool who can’t remember How the old me knew you better Now that we are older Do I cross your mind love Did we take it for granted When it was so easy to find love Do you miss the mornings When the world was younger and if you found a new love does your heart ever wonder? Now that we are older so many years without you And I still hold the embers from the first day that I met you When you and me were falling, falling, falling
7.	The Sun Swallows Us Whole 03:08	lyrics	buy track
its 35, degrees in my room tonight and that’s almost 95 degrees in LA Finding it hard to sleep, it thickens the air you see with flashes of you with me when heat meets the rain… But honey what time will it be there? I wish I could see you d’ya ever dream of me I don’t sleep like i once did Like I caught insomnia and I will be lying awake here ’til the sun swallows us whole Alone I try to quiet my own mind I can never just feel alright I could never just say… Well honey, which memories you keeping Will you ever come back, babe Did you ever fill my space I got lost in a fugue state Like I caught insomnia and I will be lying awake here ’til the sun swallows us whole Our love burned up like the stars end I guess it’s just me that’s awake then, after it all But our love burned up like the stars end I guess it’s just me that’s awake then, after it all…
8.	The Road 04:22	lyrics	buy track
When the road is calling you, go When you can’t wait forever In my mind or my home It was right, in the moment we knew With a taste of good weather For a time it was me and you But your heart lays heavy, lays heavy on mine We used to have this ’til we let it slide Now all of the moments we’re just passing time We’ve been killing each other to keep this alive Oh… Midnight, and thunder rolls With the spark that once held us Lighting a final show You see the road should never go back It’s just a siren song, that leads to where we don’t belong, anymore… But your heart lays heavy, lays heavy on mine We used to have this ’til we let it slide Now all of the moments we’re just passing time We’ve been killing each other to keep this alive Oh… To keep this alive Oh… I hear her calling me, I hear her calling I hear her calling me I hear her calling me, I hear her calling I hear her call for me I hear her calling me, I hear her calling I’m weak and I’m falling when I hear her calling me I hear her calling me, I hear her calling I wish I was stronger but I hear her calling me Her heart lays heavy lays heavy on mine We used to have this ’til we let it slide Now all of the moments we’re just passing time We’ve been killing each other to keep this alive Oh To keep this alive Oh… To keep this alive 0h… [Backing vocals] (Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive, Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive,) [Lead vocal joins] Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive, Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive, Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive, Keep this alive, keep this, keep this alive.
9.	Echoes 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Do I miss you or just hate that I’m alone This apartment doesn’t even feel a bit like home I could so easily reach you on the phone But I can never truly reach you Like we used to Talk Like we used to Run Like we used to Try Like we used to I even wish that we could fight like we used to Cry Like we used to Lie Like we used to anything that we do… Echoes echoes That won’t die down You Keep coming around Making the same sound Echoes, there goes The ghost in my bed haunting my head With things I never should’ve said Why can’t the hero and the villain start again Change the story, burn the pages and rewrite the end I’ve got confessions I can’t bring myself to send But could you ever really hear me like you used to ...Talk Like we used to …Run Like we used to …Try Like we used to ………I even wish that we could fight like we used to …Cry Like we used to …Lie Like we used to anything that we do Echoes echoes That won’t die down You Keep coming around Making the same sound Echoes, there goes The ghost in my bed haunting my head With things I never should’ve said Talk Run Try How to reach you? Fight Fuck Lie Like we used to… Echoes echoes That won’t die down You Keep coming around Making the same sound Echoes, there goes The ghost in my bed haunting my head With things I never should’ve said Echoes echoes That won’t die down You keep coming around Making the same sound Echoes, there goes The ghost in my bed haunting my head With things I never should’ve said (Echoes echoes)
10.	Hold Me, Love 04:02	lyrics	buy track
I put my fears in the back room and I stay here in a vacuum thoughts press heavy ’til i can’t move I’m so self-aware and consumed Can you hold me, love Because I’ve never known such an empty feeling In an empty home can you warm me up ‘cause It’s in my bones there’s no way to heal it In the dark alone ...so can you hold me, love can you hold me? The only thing I have not done Is put my faith in someone Time was endless now the time’s gone I’m not old, but I’m not young Can you hold me, love Because I’ve never known such an empty feeling In an empty home can you warm me up ‘cause it’s in my bones There’s no way to heal it in the dark alone So can you hold me, love Can you hold me? Lover can you Lover can you Oh... Lover can you Lover can you Oh... Lover can you Lover can you Oh... Hold me, love Because I’ve never known such an empty feeling In an empty home can you warm me up ‘cause It’s in my bones There’s no way to heal it There’s no place to go So can you hold me love, Can you hold me? Can you hold me love, Can you hold me? Can you hold me, Can you hold me?
11.	The Ashes 04:14	lyrics	buy track
There’s a fire in this house And there’s no one left to notice with the breath to put it out There’s a weakness in these walls And the truth hides in the echoes and the whispers in the halls Saying all we’ve ever known we learned here… There’s a smoke that fills our lungs And we suffer in the silence wondering why we didn’t run Feel the cracks let out the heat Stealing all the oxygen forbidding us to speak Still all we’ve ever known we learned here And all we thought was home will burn here But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning and maybe as they scatter they’ll lead us to the healing Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving and darling thought you woke me hard we’d been oversleeping Everything thats burning… was everything to us There’s a fire you tried to hide But you let it in our home You tainted everything inside Though the mess cannot be seen I’m still standing in the wreckage I’m still longing for a piece of All we’ve ever known and learned here ‘Cause all we thought was home will burn here But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning and maybe as they scatter they’ll lead us to the healing Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving And darlin though you woke me hard we’d been oversleeping But I don’t think I’m learning And I don’t think we change Now we know that wisdom never really came with age And everytime I think that maybe we could put it out Everytime I try to fight the fire in this house Well my mind paints a picture ‘cause my minds never free My mind shows the things that my eyes weren’t supposed to see There’s a fire in this house And there’s no one left to notice with the breath to put it out.
12.	Life Song 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Mostly love will let you down The ending comes around I wouldn’t say real love was easy I wouldn’t say the heart makes sense at all There are fears I never faced And dreams that i misplaced these are the ghosts that haunt the story these are the things we’ll carry till the end and the moments go like the rain they’ll fall All around us now… And heavier, we get heavier we do as the water soaks us through there’s a lighter way to move We get heavier, we get heavier we do Like the water always knew We could go lighter but we’d choose To have, to hold, to lose Time is endless, nights and days You give your heart away Isn’t it strange to love somebody? It doesn’t feel like sanity at all and the moments go like the rain they’ll fall All around us now… And heavier, we get heavier we do as the water soaks on through there’s a lighter way to move We get heavier, we get heavier we do Like the water always knew We could go lighter but we’d choose To have, to hold …to lose.
