Frozen Fountain 04:16
lyrics

Yesterday's survivor Tomorrow's ghost I can feel it coming closer The world we chose The sky is clearing up now The town comes alive I see thunderclouds retreating Above the coast We’re tracing a collision course Following what came before Following what came before Tonight I thought I saw you In the back of the room I thought I caught you looking for me Looking for you There are valleys wider Than our voices can travel There are echoes quieter Than they’ll ever know So come closer We’re tracing our collision course Following what came before Following what came before Reaching Heading for the source Every shortcut Each detour Always led me to your door

Common Ground 04:47
lyrics

Then you said you would've been dead Without that song Turning up the volume You stopped singing along 23, a cracked windshield And the windows open I was taking in the landscape Making it my own There's a future cure For every possible future I was innocent And then I wasn't An outcome meets its cause There's no use in feeling misused Who's keeping score? All that window dressing Drew the thieves to your door Waking up from turbulence In a thunderstorm The first thing I remembered Was your house disappearing In the rear-view mirror They're handing out umbrellas In the afternoon sun It's the year of the elections Coming to a conclusion The Northern Atlantic Is on my mind If you feel hollow There's a harbour up the coast Where the waves will flood your soul There's a future cure For every possible future I was innocent And then I wasn't An outcome meets its cause So I grew tired Of waiting around For the siege to blow over I heard the loudest cries From the ivory towers Harmonising in choir We blew a tire And missed our flight Found our way down to common ground From E4 South To the 101 Life's a constant arrival

Missing Things 03:56
lyrics

So I rolled the dice Not anticipating to feel different Once again I dove right in I’ve felt this way before I’ve been distant Nowhere Now here Nowhere Now here I miss missing things I miss missing things I miss missing things We’ve been walking in a circle Now we’re back at square one We’ve been keeping it together It’s been keeping us down So if something’s missing I miss missing things Sunlight on the scars Shadows on the lawn I remember Breathing in Facing the wind When the storm arrived It felt scheduled Nowhere Now here Nowhere Now here I miss missing things I miss missing things I miss missing things We’ve been walking in a circle Now we’re back at square one We’ve been keeping it together It’s been keeping us down So if something’s missing I miss missing things And every answer you would give Could be interpreted two ways So when the pendulum swung I just moved over and moved on Forgive me We’ve been walking in a circle I’m at the end of the line I am holding on to nothing Nothing’s holding me down So if something’s missing I miss missing things

Necessity Says 03:53
lyrics

A window opened wide Warm electric light Pouring out into the night A buzzing fridge inside The stereo playing Low Elated voices intertwined I'm surrounded by the sound of life A perfect piece of the whole Another day to make the world go around A perfect piece of the whole Another day In your life Won't you stay? Necessity calls Won't you stay? Necessity calls I remember when Always meant always And never always meant sometimes Illuminated clouds Cover our whole town High over the trams And the canal I'm surrounded by the sound of life A perfect piece of the whole Another day to make the world go around A perfect piece of the whole Another day In your life See it for yourself Reflections Pieces of the whole Another day Another life See it for yourself Reflections Pieces of the whole Another day alive Won't you stay? Necessity calls Won't you stay? Necessity calls Come away Necessity says Come away Necessity says

Escape Velocity 05:02
lyrics

The last thing you said Was see you around I haven't done a lot Since you left town I've been taking walks at dawn With my headphones on Under the trees At the edge of the park Honesty, corruption and the truth Walked into a bar to shoot some pool But then they shot The drunk bartender too What was I supposed to do? We wait For some final sign A quick fix To cover up That there are white whales Chasing after us Strange games I thought we’d had enough Now it's been far too long To not look back Here I am Still trying to ignite the ashes Everything here makes me think of you You said even the dead-end streets Are going to bloom And let us through We got played by their rules Kept in place by fear I guess time wasn't always right But I was right here Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear? Because if you told me we'll be alright I think I still could believe it We wait For some final sign A quick fix To cover up That there are white whales Chasing after us Strange games I thought we’d had enough I lost it I lost it I had it I lost it Velocity Velocity Escape velocity

Exceptions 05:59
lyrics

Come on in It's open Are you hearing this? Winter rain drumming on the cars outside High heels echoing Key rings jangling In this cold apartment Each sound is so loud But if you want to stay I'm feeling the same way And if I contradict myself It's all fine Cause I'm prone to make exceptions When it comes to me and you Full disclosure It's the path of least resistance I never knew what else to do Like a dog missing his collar I'd come running when you called Through parking lots Shopping malls And those generic cafes There were no other distractions Interesting enough to focus on It's hard to tell where the future ends And the cave painting starts The cave became a tunnel And the tunnel slithered underground The morning of the bomb threat They closed off the heart of town An evacuated temple A depopulated paradise The statue of the city founder Sword drawn in the fog I am prone to make exceptions When it comes to me and you Full disclosure It's the path of least resistance I never knew what else to do To get through To you

What a lovely day The sky is grey There's a feeling I can't place They're putting out chairs Outside the cafes Looks like the end of hibernation What a lovely day April rain Colouring the pavement wet And for once I could stay I've got time to waste I could stay But I'm restless Nowanights I fall awake And all of the signs are plain as day All that magical thinking Didn't really Do the trick I know I know I'm sorry What a lovely day The X-ray Is showing nothing new I went out of my way To explain it Burned the map To hide the trail I saw you answer the phone Hungover and stoned You ran out the door In blinding light Even the sun looked strange That whole day The clouds were all shaped like islands I guess the tides inside us changed A little too late But it's safe to say We're no longer going through a phase I believe you It's cool I know I know I'm sorry too Nowanights I fall awake And all of the signs are plain as day We're no longer going through a phase I believe you It’s cool I know I know I'm sorry too

Private Eye 03:43
lyrics

I took pictures At the wedding And I fell into the pond If I drown I'll be forgiven I was thinking as I sunk But didn't I act like it rained? Who did I try to persuade? No need to kick in open doors There's a reason There's a riddle to be solved It changed us It changed us into us It started out a grain of sand But somehow it snowballed I guess anything is relative Until it's not at all I never found a way to trace the breadcrumbs to their source I finally appreciate The freedom that it cost us Who wouldn't have loved to remain A perfectly planned out mistake Time wasn't enough to tip the scales But I really think it added to the weight I could see the end beginning to take shape It changed us It changed us into us We’re practicing acceptance Sweeping wars under the rug From opinion to the sentence From the sentence To the true crime judge A suspended drunk policeman Sitting fingering his gun In the backseat of the dealer’s You were right behind my eyes I just tried to make it right But even if I could explain What else would there be left to say? It was all there in the cards And though the decks were stacked The game rigged from the start I just couldn't keep my head and heart apart And I couldn't face myself In that bathroom mirror haze Looking for something misplaced I walked out that open door And it changed us It changed us into us

December Stars 04:50
lyrics

It's a simple choice Either come to terms with it or don't The silver lining Wasn't more than an afterthought At that empty crossing We lingered by a walk sign Now I can't hide from the feelings I hide inside December nights In a town left behind Whenever you decide I'll stick around Tearing down our house of cards Cleaning out our archive of doubts If this amounts to nothing Nothing at all Then nothing’s all I want The prophecy's wrong Call your fortune teller And tell her I'm done The cold hard future We foresaw up ahead Is crashing down For the record I've always tried to be sincere I don't know why It was so much more difficult When you were still here December nights In a town left behind Whenever you decide I’ll stick around Tearing down our house of cards Cleaning out our archive of doubts If this amounts to nothing Nothing at all Then nothing's all I want There's a fault line drawn Far between us There's a wall of fog Drifting apart Reappear disappear Disappear reappear Reappear disappear Keep going Keep going Reappear disappear Disappear reappear Reappear disappear Keep going Keep going now Keep on December nights In a town left behind Whenever you decide I’ll stick around December stars Will be shining up above I’m tearing down our house of cards I'm cleaning out our archive of doubts If this amounts to nothing Then it’s all I want

Sunlight Fall Down 03:30
lyrics

Migrating songbirds Cross the open sky Mirrored in the ocean The sun has begun to rise Fallen horizons Rising at dawn I should've gone to sleep There's a lot I should've done A long way from the boy who Grew up in hand-me-downs So focused on survival That life doesn't feel alive I just can't remember Or forget it quite enough Lately it's the good times Making me feel worse I've never been this certain There's nothing in my heart Still left to let go of This is all I've got So if there's a price to pay I'll pay it I promise And when tomorrow comes I'll be all yours So let sunlight fall down And climb up the lawn When tomorrow comes I'll be all yours Tomorrow I'll be all yours
