I'm Not Here 04:12
The wind wiped the tracks, Don’t tell the cops I’m here, I’m not here There’s nothing to see looking back The sea is clear That fluttering sound is just the darkness coming down I’m not here, I’m not there I’m not here, I’m not there I had my feet on the ground, I had my head in the heavens That was when you were around, now I’m closer to the ground, and sometimes on it I used to hold my chin like this and my hips like so But that was when I was around, I was around That was when I was around, I was around But I’m not here, I’m not there I’m not here, I’m not there

Underneath the deep dark valley Up above the highest boundary My heart was singing out when I found out Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one When I sat under the bright light And I said to you I’m gonna set my heart right Am I ready for this change? Will he own his middle name? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Now what are we gonna call him? Will he be brave if they persecute him? Will the babe have starry eyes? Will he stay up late at night? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Well, will we live to see your children? Will you be a wrecking ball with good intention? Will you learn from your mistakes? Will you punch above your weight? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Will he wander over misty mountains? Watch city smog roll over buildings? Will you lie at heaven’s gate? Will you get into a scrape? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Will you find love in the eyes of a stranger, In a far off land full of adventure? Will you settle down near home or will you wind up all alone? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Will your goal be for many riches, Or will you find what real wealth is? Will you want after a lot or will you give away what you’ve got? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Will you search for real wisdom, Or spend your life tryna kick against the system? Will you enter a bright light and come out with clearer sight? Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one Easy gone, easy come it’s for you this one

Taking Over 02:42
When you’re the last of a dying breed Trees in your garden that you knew from seeds Then what are you gonna do? Like God or Lucifer I’ll get to you Who’s taking over? Who’s taking over from you now you’re a sinking stone? You’re steady rolling but I’m bound to float What’s yours is mine what’s mine is out of view I’ll keep coming What’s yours is mine what’s mine is out of you I’ll keep coming

Where does all my time go? Where does all my time go? Where does all my time go? Where does all my time go? I’m stepping back into the past I didn’t know that I would Be realigned to the one that I love I’m opening my eyes to things from above From above I stepping back into the past I didn’t know that I would Be reassigned to search for her love I’m opening my eyes to things from above From above I’m young, I’m stretched, I’m tryna be free She’s in my head like a melody When will she sing along with me? When will she sing along with me?

They told me you wouldn’t make it They didn’t know who you were that day Dragged you out in the open Tiny bones and a fragile frame From the moment we knew you Reduced us to tears First time I held you The bitter and sweet my dear And I promise to be a shelter to you my dear I promise to always protect you Caught a look in your eye like You knew the game had changed All the courage inside you Victorious that day And we promise to be a shelter to you always Yes we promise to always protect you

Ailsa 04:06
Your face suddenly aged When you heard the news that day I found you standing in the dark Before you try to break my heart You know I see you, what’s been and gone I’m sure he sees you and cheers you on We all need you to pull through this one What I’m trying to say… You’ve been fighting for so long You jumped the gun And now dreams don’t ring so sweet in your ears Crippled by fear And it pours out your mouth while you scream and you shout That your trading is done for the day And it rolls of your tongue like a funeral song And still rings when the procession’s long gone The walls you built around your heart That precious treasure map of scars And the charade they made of it Came crashing down it didn’t hurt a bit You know I see you, and all that you are I understand you, the hand that was drawn Can’t protect you when you’re in the storm And you push away… You’ve been fighting for so long You jumped the gun And now dreams don’t ring so sweet in your ears Crippled by fear And it pours out your mouth while you scream and you shout That your trading is done for the day And it rolls of your tongue like a funeral song And still rings when the procession’s long gone

Silver Spoon 02:44
I’ve seen your face shining Like something you’d see on TV Your pale eyes drill deep down inside To the bones of me And I can see my maker in you Holding you showing you it’s true Shining you up like a silver spoon So just do the things you do Yesterday is gone it’s run away from You no longer care Each new day slowly slipping away Never to be lived again And I can see creation in you It’s got everything in store for you Shining you up like a silver spoon So just do the things you do

The Raise 02:15
Falling through the waves into the ocean Calling on your name and words unspoken Nothing seems to matter when you’re near I begin to flatter you my dear I’m breaking my back My heart’s there on tap Tired eyed and feeling blue Wishing to collapse into your gaze I feel the raise Breaking through the haze into the rocks and Calling on your name no introduction Calm and understanding you Seem to make your own way through I’m breaking my back My heart’s there on tap Tired eyed and feeling blue Wishing to collapse I’m breaking my back My heart’s there on tap Tired eyed and feeling blue Wishing to collapse into your gaze I feel the raise

Reassured 02:50
Take another look at yourself she’ll only Take another swing at your health and then you’re lonely And who’s gonna nurse a broken heart when you let nobody in Then all you’ll need is time apart from the world you’re living in All you want is to be someone worth fighting for And to be reassured There’s a man who lives inside your head and he tells you what to do But girl will you listen to me instead ‘cause I know what’s best for you You wake and the days are dreary and wet and you’ve had it with yourself All you need to hear is that you’re really someone else You’re someone else All you want is to be someone worth something more All you want is to be someone worth singing for And to be reassured You get lonely You get lonely you get lonely
