As Far As The Stars

It's time to say goodbye
And you're scared I see it in your eyes
Adventures are fun
You're worrying about nothing
Your guitar's in the car
Umbrella by your side
Thought you were on your way
When I heard you say
What do you think is wrong with me
I've never been brave like you
And if I get lonely
What will I do
As far as I know
As far as the stars
This earthquake's gonna shake your heart
You're scared of what might happen then
I told you once but I'll tell you again
You don't need to worry 'bout that
I know that you're trying
To help me find my feet
I know you're watching over me
Maybe I'll be brave
And show you that I can
Maybe I should stay
The weather's looking grey
What do you think is wrong with me
I've always got a better excuse
But once I have gone
What will you do
(Oh I've danced with a million doubts)
As far as I know
As far as the stars
This earthquake's gonna shake your heart
(Couldn't hear the words you said)
Your scared of what might happen then
(You told me once just tell me again)
I told you once but I'll tell you again
(I don't need to worry 'bout that)
You don't need to worry 'bout that
Look at that shine
You and the stars
(I know that you're trying)
This little girl can't tell you apart
(To help me find my feet)
Did you think you'd lost your friend
(I know you're watching over me)
She told you once now she'll tell you again
(I don't need to worry 'bout that)
You don't need to worry 'bout that
Show you that I can
Wherever you are
I'll never be as far as the stars

Swept Away
03:50

Speak speak to me
While we're walking
It's life to me to hear you talking
Yes I like pop music hey
How did you know that
Sky sky is blue
I never saw it there
I must have grown under a rain cloud
I love your endless stories
Making my heart bounce
(Hey)
Hey where's the pool I need an ice bath
Wanna freeze this moment like a photograph
You must have sung me to sleep
This is the best dream
You tipped the sky into the ocean
Mixed up everything I know
And coloured me pink
Like I'd forgotten to breathe
Let me stop you there
It's a long way down
And I'm only one foot off the ground
But I
I – I'm swept away
Swept away-ay-ay
Lift lift me up
You're superhuman
It's been a heavy day but you improve it
Joking that I like your hair
How did you know that
Take take my hand
I've got a spare one
A million days on earth but we could share one
Telling our tomorrows and
Chasing the sun down
(Hey)
Hey where's the crowd they look like ants now
You see my feet and solid ground
They struggle to meet
Like you're controlling the breeze
Let me stop you there
It's a long way down
And I'm only one foot off the ground
But I
I – I'm swept away
Swept away-ay-ay
Dancing in my sleep
Don't wake me from this dream state
I'm swept away
Dancing in my sleep
Don't wake me from this dream state
I'm swept away-ay-ay
(Let me stop)
Let me stop you there (oh)
It's a long way down
And I'm only one foot off the ground
But I
I – I'm swept away
Swept away-ay-ay (ay ay ay yeah)

Wait And See
03:41
|

When you grew up
You thought you'd be
Mountains of calm
But you're wild as the sea
Time calls you slow
I think you're strong
Fastest I know
To admit they're wrong
Why do you sing with your eyes closed
Like you're afraid of what you'll see
Look no further than the front row
That's where I'll be
Wait and see
Wait and see
We don't know where
Where we'll end up
Lay all your plans out
And pack them all up
(Mm mm)
No one knows who they belong to
They just pretend to feel complete
Go find the fastest road back home
It's all that you need
Wait and see
Wait and see
We'll have to see
What we will be
We'll have to wait
Wait and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
You hug your chair like your dearest friend
Must take you years to become like that
One thumb one finger could snap you out
Snap you out of that
Why do you sing with your eyes closed
Like you're afraid of what you'll see
Look no further than the front row
That's where I'll be
Wait and see
Wait and see
(Mm mm mm)

Starlight Season
03:21
|

(I've been saving all your thoughts for a reason)
What's in your imagination
I'd really like to know
Show me to the nearest station
I'd really like to go
I could use your bright ideas
To show me the way home
I might take a souvenir
And never let it go
Low on lighting
Ships need guiding
Wake up wake up
Lighthouse (light-lighthouse)
Ready for a starlight season
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason
Shining while the light home's dreaming
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason
Calling all the crews and captains
Sailing the sky
Did you know that wonders happen
Happen all the time
If you'd like to
I could show you
All the things that flash
Before my eyes
Ready for a starlight season
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason
Shining while the light home's dreaming
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason
Low on lighting
Wake up wake up lighthouse
Ships need guiding
Wake up wake up lighthouse
Ready for a starlight season
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason
Shining while the light home's dreaming
I've been saving all your thoughts
For a reason

Hidden Wire
03:30
|

Here goes
Look away now
If you can't stand it
I'm about to make a
Fool of myself
But it's just me
Try'na be cool
Try'na be something
I wonder how it is for
Everyone else
Say you don't
Say you don't
Really mean it
When you say
It's just for today
All this time
You were holding out on me
I'd never seen it happen like that be-fo-ore
But he walked in
And he brought magic through the do-or
It's what I was looking for
Don't stop believing
Just because you've seen it
There's no hidden wire
Holding him u-u-up
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Grey sky
Who needs colour when you've
Seen those eyes
Breaking into
Memory banks
'Cause you're like brand new
And everybody's moved
To remember you
Tell 'em how it's done
The magic won't fade
Say you don't
Say you don't
Really mean it
When you say
It's just for today
All this time
You were holding out on me
I'd never seen it happen like that be-fo-ore
But he walked in
And he brought magic through the do-or
It's what I was looking for
Don't stop believing
Just because you've seen it
There's no hidden wire
Holding him u-u-up
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
You'd tell me
Not to be so sure
The future's not clear
Anything could happen
By the end of the year
I'll send you the stars
When I reach for the moon
I'm starting to think
That I should have believed you
I'd never seen it happen like that be-fo-ore
But he walked in
And he brought magic through the do-or
It's what I was looking for
Don't stop believing
Just because you've seen it
There's no hidden wire
Holding him u-u-up
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Holding him u-u-up

How Can I Lose
03:34
|
|||
(How can I let you
How can I lose
I would turn the world into
A place for me and you)
I could
Curl up in a compass
Crawl into a crows nest
And never be heard
I'd stand
Hold onto a clock's hand
Never be alone and
Never be heard
Little dreams of
Bigger views
You could make my
Wish true
How can I let you
How can I lose
You used
Everything you've been through
Took it from within you
And started to change
Stunned and
Silver as the sun and
Colder than the gold sand
Started to change
Looking through an ocean view
You watched while my
Heart grew
How can I let you
How can I lose
I would turn the world into
A place for me and you
(Little dreams of
Bigger views
You could make my
Wish true)
How can I let you
How can I lose
I would turn the world into
A place for me and you
