You know it comes to a time when you realise
All the things around you have changed
Like the needles that fall from the Christmas tree
And all the thoughts that you've lost
that you thought you'd saved
We always sit there in silence
waiting for things that we couldn't change.
Do you remember looking out at the garden,
Making notes as the leaves start to fall
There's something special about the changing of season,
the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call
it's calling your name
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
If you only do one thing this year, take this advice
Pack your bags and son and keep running
as it doesn't happen twice
Dust yourself off as you fall down on the way,
as all the time spent will be worth it come that day
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
You know it comes to a time when you realise
All the people around you have changed
Like the friendships that turn to acquaintances
All the friends that you lost that you thought you'd made
We always sit there in silence waiting for things that we couldn't change
Do you remember looking out at the garden,
Making notes as the leaves start to fall
There's something special about the changing of season,
the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call
it's calling your name
Let the journey begin
Chorus repeat

I just don't know what it was,
and I don't know whence it came.
All albatross fighting like a buzz saw and calling my name
I just don't know what it was,
and I don't know when it came.
An albatross fighting like a buzz saw and calling my name
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot, waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot, waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot, waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
I don't know why I was scared; I've got the power of speech.
And all the threats and the violence in the world
couldn't make me impeach
I don't know why I was scared; I've got the power of speech
And all the threats and violence in the world couldn't make me impeach
Chorus repeat x 2
Efface, efface, efface, efface
Chorus repeat

I've walked a hundred miles
I've seen a hundred thousand smiles
Not one of them as beautiful, as beautiful as yours
And all the petrol station flowers
Or all the stolen looks in the small hours
Will never know, we'll never know, we'll never know why
Young and Lovestruck will find themselves stuck right bang in
the middle of melodrama and fear.
TV says that the insecure will always be lonely and business
stands to improve, improve
And how times have changed and our love songs are re-arranged
For different names, a different face
I'll pretend that it's for you
And with that sentiment intact
Please keep the first line as a fact
You never know, you never know, you never know why
Chorus repeat
All my infatuations, they never made it past
The internet or a night you'll regret
And all the fashion types, Are shagging indie types
And teaching them how to smoke and how to dress
And they're dressing to impress
And they're dressed like all the rest
Chorus repeat x 2

We talked for hours
And nothing made much sense
I'm sick and tired
Of sitting on the fence
Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
We talk in circles
We move in narrow lines
I miss the grey patch
Between the black and white
And I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
I miss the silence
Of sitting here alone
I think I love you
But I'm better on my own
Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...

I could've seen it in a magazine,
the perfect picture of the Manhattan streets,
A monologue from Carrie will make the scene feel complete,
as the people fill up the commercial streets.
I could be sitting here in London town,
it's the weekend there are kids all around.
The rustling of platic is the universal sound, from Greenwich
to Greenwich, from dollars to pounds.
You could be children of the revolution, but no,
they go and beckon you into their loving arms and
say son it's good to see you again.
A child of fourteen fingers down their throat,
convulsing stomach she's starting to choke.
The mirror rings loud with all the words they invoke.
This feeling of worthlessness will help them promote.
All of the products that they need you to buy,
shareholder profits over Children's lives.
And they don't really care as all the tears that you cry,
will help them to wash away all their dirty lies
Chorus repeat x 2

She said she'd like to step outside,
all of the boxes that made burdens in her mind.
And run knee deep into the tide.
chasing the birds as they decend into flight.
And you don't have to be constrained.
by all the railroads and the motorways.
And you don't have to be afraid.
I've never witnessed the Northern lights,
I've never walked on the Seine at night,
Wont you take me there through the window of your mind?
i want to see all the world with you,
take a walk amoungst the caribou
or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes.
Can we go there tonight?
and as he sat behind the desk and he pondered when he'd have the time to restm from all the windows and the files,
his old friend sanitys been missing for awhile.
And you dont have to feel constrained,
by your mortage and your mininum wage.
And you don't have to feel ashamed.
I've never witnessed the Northern lights,
I've never walked on the seine at night,
Wont you take me there through the window of your mind?
i want to see all the world with you,
take a walk amoungst the caribou
or watch the Louver fountains sparkle in your eyes.
I've never witnessed the Northern lights,
I've never walked on the seine at night,
Wont you take me there through the window of your mind?
i want to see all the world with you,
take a walk amoungst the caribou
or watch the Louver fountains sparkle in your eyes.
Cant we go there tonight?

You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain.
On the television screens and the newspaper headlines
we read today.
There's a war going on in the middle east and the fallout
affects us all, but nobody out there's prepared to talk.
There's a war going on on our own front door step with the
Jews and Islam-aphoebes because every time a bomb
goes off we get religious probes. There will always be
extremists acting in their names of god.
But the gods they worship will never hear them call.
I could build you a tower, I could set you apart from all
the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart.
I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down.
There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon with a rifle in his hands,
his parents betray his innocence as he's old enough to be a
man, as a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds
into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground.
The waters rise to enormous heights off the coast of North
Korea, with all the weapons testing our worlds investing in
nuclear fear, I'm counting down the days until this earth
destroys itself, through our ignorance, gluteny and wealth.
I could build you a tower, I could set you apart from all
the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart.
I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down.

Stuck in reflections, it's getting late
Same hopes and fears we can all relate to
Some speak in riddlesm I speak in rhyme
Making decisions out of time
This tourniquet tries to restrict the flow
Of all the truths that you should know
My acid tongue and your sense of wit
Don't let society restrict
A quick verse for the underrated
Don't let the pressures get you down
Keep singing out, keep singing loud
Chorus repeat
Stuck in reflections, it's getting late
Same hopes and fears we can all relate to
Some speak in riddles, you speak the truth
Even if it's not getting through
Chorus repeat x 2

I'm wide, I'm wide awake at night
And my mind's preoccupied and the silence won't reside
Or resolve the feelings that exist because it's easy to dismiss
And it's harder to get heard.
And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet
And I wish that you were lost without me
And though the more I think about it the easier it seems
I'll just be fine so here's to moving forward
Were we made as corresponding shapes?
Our two pieces tessellate
Were we designed to fit as one?
And it's with patience that I wait,
as these romantic notions take my dignity and tact.
Chorus repeat
And as the sun sets on this now
You'll be the one I thought about
And as the sun sets on this now
You'll be the one I thought about
Chorus repeat

we make lists, we make plans
to write books, to form bounds
or to move to kreuzburg
and escape into the night
so pack your bags and lets take control
you and me lets go
the next time that you're lonely,
or the next time that you're free.
so why?
so why?
so why?
if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?
don't get me wrong i know it's hard
and the good things never last.
and yet theres no point in waiting for a miriacle to save your life.
you took the time to find what's real,
and amongst the baggage that you feel
is holding you back, the demons cast aside.
so why?
so why?
so why?
if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?
safe way is not
the safe way is not
the way to live your life
your light is beautiful don't let the daydreams die
don't let the daydreams die
so why?
so why?
so why?
if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?
so why?
so why?
if we can make the plans can we just not find the time?

And if all the words that I could never say,
it's inevitable that they're never going to go away.
And all of the plans, that we could've made,
it's inevitable they'll never see the light of day
Because this could be all
This could be all
Don't you love it when the sun breaks through the clouds on
the dark days and you just sit there smiling hoping that it
won't go away.
Do you remember when the rains came down in summer on
that hot day and you just sat there laughing hoping that it won't go away.
Because this could be all
This could be all
Chorus repeat x 2
Because this could be all
This could be all

After shows all the time, meet the band do a line.
Hotel room, double bed, empty sex and then regret.
Kiss and tell, well tell a friend, so and so would like to spend
more time in my company, thinks he could fall in love with me.
And I'm sorry and I hope you don't mind,
it's just it's getting late and I'm feeling tired.
And I've got better things to do tonight,
than cultivate your vacuous desires
Three days later there's no texts
what the hell did you expect.
He's only in it for himself,
for the money for the wealth.
A shallow kiss to fill a void,
a broken heart a lonely boy,
you took advantage of his pain,
took his dignity for fame.
Chorus repeat x 2

What if I could run, what if I could hide away
From all the things I've done, would I start it all again?
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all if I bide my time
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I wanted more
And through all the great things I've seen
I couldn't live with just a dream,
but it was more than just a dream
It seems we always fight against the things that lead us on
We always take a bite of the apple that will seed our fall
And you could see it all, you could see it all
But that's not what you need
I've seen it all, I've seen it all in pathetic falacies
And although there's great things to see
We get struck in our hypocrisy and we'll revel in our greed
What if I could dive, what if I could see the ocean floor
What if I could fly, what if I could spread my wings and soar
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I took my time
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I wanted more
And through all the great things I've seen,
human nature took the best of it for me
Yeah you took the best for me
I Could've seen it all (repeat to fade)
