Every night I'm walking in your shoes
(Bring a little bit warmer hues)
And in disguise my disappointment looms
(You’re a little bit loathsome)
You can tell it’s not my day
But believe me when I tell ya, that I-
I’ve been travelling a while
Just trying to hold a smile
You’re leaving on a sunny day
As I hold onto this time
I can’t afford to try
Believing it’s another day away
After hours, you throw away the noose
(Just a little bit too close for ya)
And every time, I fear it’s all my doing
(You’re a little bit wholesome)
When it’s your turn to erase
Do you wonder where you’re heading?
Cause I-
I’ve been travelling a while
Just trying to hold a smile
You’re leaving on a sunny day
As I hold onto this time
I can’t afford to try
Believing it’s another day
Another day

The Game

His heart’s for the evening
His mind’s in the way
Just trying to do something
Just trying to get laid
It’s like my soul’s been shattered
Every piece given away
It doesn’t matter what you’re after
They call it a game
Because all of us want a little bit more
Just a little bit closer to home
Wandering far and wide from where we belong
Just a little bit closer to home
ooh, ooh
Sing it softly so no-one will know
In his desperation
To turn a new leaf
He found there were others
Cause we all have needs
It’s like being your own master
Living in your own way
It doesn’t matter where you’re after
It’s you that has changed
Because all of us want a little bit more
Just a little bit closer to home
Wandering far and wide from where we belong
Just a little bit closer to home
ooh, ooh
Think it softly so no-one will know
Singin' ooh, ooh
Sing it softly so no-one will know

Nothing is Free
04:11

He saves it
So much free stuff on the pavement
He never wastes, he claims it
Up to the ceiling in papers
I get it all for free
But nothing is free
Nothing is free
The neighbours
Start to question his behaviours
It’s getting stranger and stranger
They wonder if he’s in danger
Come on, let me be
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
Nothing is free
Nobody has to know
Kitchenware and fishing poles
Nowhere for it all to go
So might as well get comfortable
It’s the inspector
From the housing safety sector
She knocks, now may I enter?
He pleads I’m just a collector
That got buried in treasures
Come on, let me be
I just wanna be free
I’m already knee deep
Nothing is free
Nobody has to know
Kitchenware and fishing poles
Nowhere for it all to go
So everything’s gotta go-
No, you’ve gotta go!
Nobody has to know
Kitchenware and fishing poles
Nowhere for it all to go
So might as well get comfortable

Mother

Here we are, the melody was sung
The words are all strung out on the wire
What is wrong?
The mystery was solved, you found yourself
It’s true
You were young, the mother of us all
You pulled the sun for us through the shadows
Carry on
Our story’s just begun, I’ve gone too far
It’s true
Cause you won’t even know her name
I’ve tried to be with you honest
But I can concede I’m pulling away
Like the tide, a child whose affections are sideways
But I think you should know
Here again, the tendrils of your love
Are sweeping us along through the fire
Won’t be long
Illusion losing hold but not forgot
It’s true
Cause you won’t even know your name
I’ve tried to be with you honest
But I can concede I’m pulling away
Like the tide, a child whose affections are sideways
But I think you should know
Here we are, the melody was sung
This silly web was spun all the while
Can you see?
This universe provides for all we need
It’s true
And you won’t even know your name

Too Much
02:45

Would you hesitate
Would you wait it out
Would you make a mess if I cleaned it up
Are you in the right
Am I in the wrong
Would you call me out if I’d gone too far
Cause you are too much
But you’re not enough
But you’re not enough
Would you blow it up
Did I burn your fuse
Could you tell me off
Could you do it soon?
Go on holiday not to see your face
Then you tell me smile as I pull away
Cause you are too much
But you’re not enough
Cause you are too much
You’re trying too hard
As long as I know where to go, I know I will survive
I will forget you
To getting on with letting go of giving it a try
I will forget you
As all the thoughts between us build up like a cloud
about to break
When you look around, no-one left to blame
In your empty house, it all feels the same
Cause you are too much
But you’re not enough
Cause you’re always right
But something is off
Cause you are too much
But you’re not enough
Cause you are too much
But you’re not enough
And now you’re gone

Lost
03:39

She painted a picture but hoped it were moving instead
Imagined a future that promised to fill her with dread
Let’s get lost in the world of possibilities
You never look back when you end up appeased
Cause you are strong
Lighten up
She changed her appearance, consulted some churchgoing folks
Erased her ideas, then filled up her head like a boat
Let’s get lost in the wind at your behind
Lost in the dream when two feathers unite
Cause you are strong
Lighten up
Cause you are much stronger than I ever were
Let’s get lost in the world of possibilities
You never look back when you end up appeased
