LYRICS

Counting Sheep
VERSE 1
And I tried, to hide my life
But my lies, never die
And every time, I wave goodbye
Your eyes, stare right through mine
PRE-CHORUS
And now there's blood on the sheets
And you say you've got cold feet
And you talk in your sleep about
How much you hate counting sheep
CHORUS
And this one sided conversation's got me coming undone,
You shoot me with a poisoned bullet from your semi automatic gun
And one by one, they puncture my lung
And make sense of every word I ever sung
And one by one, they puncture my lung
Never fall in love when you're young
VERSE 2
You poison my heart, with your broken laugh
Say it might be better for us, to spend some time apart
Lying in the dark, wondering how we got this far
Hiding our scars, because they remind us of the past
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
And the grass is always greener
Once your phone screen is cleaner
But you ain't much of a dreamer
And I ain't much of a motivational speaker
REPEAT CHORUS

Daisy Chain || Smoke Grenade
VERSE 1
Daisey chain on your head, under the willow
Smoke grenade in your bed, under your pillow
It's all been fed to you, don't you know
You shot me down dead, but I don't want her to go
PRE-CHORUS
And if you're never sober then you're never hungover
Says your father who's older but he ain't no wiser
CHORUS
And I'll get drunk on your love
And I'll get drunk on your love
VERSE 2
Thinking bout what you said, over and over
My bullet wound bled and my heart grew colder,
And it's all in your head, don't you know
You shot me down dead, but I don't want to go
CHORUS
And I'll get drunk on your love
And I'll get drunk on your love
And I'll get drunk on your love
And I'll get drunk on your love

HEARTSTRINGS
CHORUS
There's a storm that's raging
Am I worth saving?
My ribs are caging in
Dunno what love is
But I know I'm worthless
No one is gonna miss me
My chest's constricting
Blame it on my heartstrings
Now regretting letting you in
Dunno where your heart is
But I know it's in darkness
And I'm sorry that you kissed me
PRE- VERSE
Nothing left to save
Nothing else to say
VERSE 1
And there's a fire inside me
And it burns so brightly
But only when I'm beside you
Tell me ever so softly
Did you ever love me?
Or were you planning to?
PRE-CHORUS
Were we torn apart?
Coz we're just in the past
Were we born to last?
It just breaks my heart
REPEAT CHORUS
PRE-VERSE
Nowhere left for me
Nowhere else to be
VERSE 2
And there's a beast inside me
And it's going so crazy
But only when I'm without you
Tell me ever so softly
Did you ever love me?
Coz I'll never stop loving you
PRE-CHORUS
And I've fallen down
And I'm lost in your sound
I feel it all around
And I'm just gonna drown
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
And the fire has finally gone out
And the beast has surely died
It didn't go down without a fight
But there's no more light inside
REPEAT CHORUS

BRUISE
VERSE 1
There's bloodstains on my shirt
I can't tell you where it hurts
I just wanted to make this work
But everything I do makes it worse
VERSE 2
I'm not so used to being alone
It feels like I am a sinking stone
While you just sit upon your golden throne
And all along I should have known
CHORUS
That you choose me
Then you use me
Then you lose me
Yeah you choose me
And abuse me
And you bruise me
VERSE 3
Cheap wine and cigarettes can get me by
This time I promise you I'll be fine
Can't you just make up your damn mind
Do you even want me in your life?
CHORUS
Oh you choose me
Then you use me
Then you lose me
Yeah you choose me
And abuse me
And you bruise me
OUTRO
There's bloodstains on my shirt
I can't tell you where it hurts

LIGHTHOUSE
VERSE 1
You're lost in a sea of doubt
Your eyes are closed but you can hear me shout
I just gotta get you out
VERSE 2
I'll be your lighthouse
The skies will be blue and the sun's about
I just gotta get you out
PRE-CHORUS x2
There's a leak in your boat
A lump in your throat
A hole in your coat
And you're struggling to stay afloat
CHORUS
But nothing hurts like almost
Oh you know we were so close
Nothing hurts like almost
Oh you know we were close
VERSE 3
Your memories go up in smoke
You cry and moan but take another toke
I just gotta stay awoke
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS x4
REPEAT CHORUS x2

Take Me THere
VERSE 1
We were a mess, right from the start
But you were the best, hand on my heart
And I must confess, I got lost in the dark
You know the rest, we were torn apart
I'll meet you there
CHORUS
And if we could turn back time
Take a ride outta my mind
Then you will find
That you still wish you were mine
VERSE 2
Telling some jokes, in the corridor
Having a smoke, just outside the door
Then you awoke, clothes on the floor
And your heart is broke, but you want more
Take me there
CHORUS
And if we could turn back time
Take a ride outta my mind
Then you will find
That you still wish you were mine
I wish you were mine

Silhouette
VERSE 1
So keep me steady
when my heart grows heavy
'cause I'm not ready
to let you go
And I'll keep you happy
even though I feel crappy
and I'll pay for the taxi
to take you home
PRE-CHORUS
I can taste the backy on your teeth,
smell the rum and coke on your sleeve
you're cute like a baby when you sleep
and confused when I ask you to leave, to leave
CHORUS
So light another cigarette
and smoke away your regret
try and forget
that we ever even met
You don't get to be upset
you still ain't left yet
you're just another silhouette
I wish I never met, I wish I never met
VERSE 2
So keep me steady
when my heart grows deadly
'cause I'm so ready
to let you go
And I'll keep you happy
even though I'll miss you badly
and I'll pay for the taxi
to take you home
PRE-CHORUS
I can taste the backy on your teeth, teeth
smell the rum and coke on your sleeve, sleeve
you're cute like a baby when you sleep, sleep
and confused when I ask you to leave, leave
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
So I'll start drinking bout you
to help stop thinking bout you
feels like I'm sinking right through
This will make sense one day
in the end it'll all be okay
that's what you always used to say
REPEAT BRIDGE
The ones who love you are the ones who stay
REPEAT CHORUS x2

It don't feel right
VERSE 1
We're not in love and it's not alright
You've been crying baby up all night
And the tears don't stop until it's daylight
Your blue eyes used to shine so bright
VERSE 2
'Cause something just don't quite feel right
And I see that now, I see it in hindsight
Despite the bad nights and the goats bite
I still wanna kiss you in the moonlight
CHORUS
You drive me crazy when I used to be sane
Call me "baby" till I forget my real name
You said maybe you just drowned out the pain
But girl you changed me, now I'll never be the same
VERSE 3
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how many times I cried
Looked me in the eyes and you lied
Now it don't feel right with you by my side
VERSE 4
Now I've been waiting for the right girl to come
And when I met you I thought you were the one
You made my heartbeat beat like a drum
But now I feel nothing, I just feel numb
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
We're not in love and it's not alright
REPEAT CHORUS x2

tidal wave
VERSE 1
Coz your love came at me like a tidal wave
Now it's always sunny, don't you run away
You know you got me baby, I am here to stay
Coz your love came at me like a tidal wave
CHORUS 1
Coz I want you to want me like a fire needs a flame
And I want you to love me till the end of my days
VERSE 2
Coz your love came at me like a tidal wave
Now it's always sunny, I don't want it to rain
You know you got me baby, you made me this way
Coz your love came at me like a tidal wave
CHORUS 2
Coz I want you to want me and call me stupid names
I want you to love me, when I'm old and grey
BRIDGE
Oh and when you look at me and laugh at me and tell me I'm not okay
I know deep down, it's true in some way
And when you point at me and mock me and say go away
I guess deep down, you don't want me to stay
CHORUS
Coz I want you to want me like a fire needs a flame
And I want you to love me till the end of my days
Coz I want you to want me and call me stupid names
I want you to love me, when I'm old and grey

WHERE'S GERALD?
VERSE 1
'Coz I'm hung up on my past
and I knew we wouldn't last,
life goes so fast
when you're young and you're daft,
I know plans change, plans change now man's changed, man's changed
VERSE 2
and I know you don't miss me, but I wish you never kissed me
I'll die blissfully but don't cry tears for me, I thought you were worth it, I thought you were perfect I thought we earned it, I thought we deserved it
CHORUS
So I'll play this guitar and I'll stand tall and there are people out there who just wanna make me feel small but I won't let them change me, it won't make me cruel, see I know what I want and I'll play it cool
VERSE 3
So call me loser, a false prophet, a fake
coz all I do is give, give, give and I take
I make mistake after mistake, can't you see what's at stake, all I do is break, break, break, break, break
VERSE 4
You lie easily and say you don't need me, live your life to please me but beg me for mercy
your friends say they were wrong about me but there's nothing strong about me
your friends say they were wrong about me, but there's something strong about me
CHORUS
So I'll play this guitar and I'll stand tall and there are people out there who just wanna make me feel small but I won't let them change me it won't make me cruel, see I know what I want and I'll play it cool
VERSE 5
So I hide behind this mask and try and make you laugh, I'll meet you at the bar or drown myself in the bath
I got my scars and you got my heart
I thank my stars that you played your part
VERSE 6
My friends and family they hate what you've done to me, see I know the real story and I'll keep it close to me
so make up your conspiracy theories and blame me but maybe, just maybe, it was you that drove me crazy
CHORUS
so I'll play this guitar and I'll stand tall and there are people out there who just wanna make me feel small but I won't let them change me it won't make me cruel see I know what I want and I'll play it cool
VERSE 7
You can hear it in my voice and you can hear it in my song, see love is a choice and I don't know where we went wrong, I thought together we would be strong but I'm killing myself coz I can't move on
CHORUS
So I'll play this guitar and I'll stand tall and there are people out there who just wanna make me feel small but I won't let them change me it won't make me cruel see I know what I want and I'll play it cool
BRIDGE
I'll fake it till I make it and I'll break it and I'll take it I'll brave face it to escape it and I'll wake it and forsake it
I'll fake it till I make it and I'll break it and I'll take it I'll brave face it to escape it and I'll wake it and forsake it
CHORUS
so I'll play this guitar and I'll stand tall and there are people out there who just wanna make me feel small but I won't let them change me it won't make me cruel, see I know what I want and I'll play it cool
