Playing With Fire (Album)
I’ve been searching, for my reasons
But I’ve been lost inside this mind of mine
I’ve been learning, from my demons
Every time they keep me company at night
And heaven knows how far we’ve come
The hard work still ain’t done
But I’ll stay on this road that we’re on
I’m playing with fire
The cause ain’t getting much higher
I just feel the need to speak the truth lord
More than I’ve ever known
I’m playing with fire
The crowd keeping singing it louder
I just feel the need to share the love more
Oh, how I’d never know
That I’m playing with fire.
I’ve been searching, for your beacon
Cause it seems as though we’re loosing light
Tell me something, are you hurting?
We could testify and ease our mind
It burns in my veins
The second that she’s calling my name
A siren in lace
Making up for every mistake
We’re waiting on the call
Like we don’t already know that
We’re just gonna do this all over again
We’re breaking every part
Like we’re moving in slow motion
And it pulls me back again
But that’s just the way it is darling
I can’t explain what I’m going through
It’s like a weight that keeps falling
Down on you, on you, on you
I dive into you
Where a fool would take a step back in
Yeah, I can’t explain
I don’t even know where to begin
We’re waiting on the call
Like we don’t already know that
We’re just gonna do this all over again
We’re breaking every part
Like we’re moving in slow motion
And it pulls me back again
What can I say?
That’s just the way it is
What can I say?
When you’re far from home, watching New York snow
Singing songs I wrote, on my phone
Reading every line, all those years gone by
Do you think sometimes, about life?
We were sleeping in the car, cause we couldn’t get it started
Smoking under starts running red lights
Never getting paid but we never had to say we were on side
It’s like…
I’ve been waiting for you all night all my life
All night all my life
I’ve been waiting for you all night all my life
All night all my life
She said
The city lights don’t look right, when you ain’t here by my side
All night all my life, all night all my life
I’ve been waiting for you…
I’ve been waiting for you…
London skylines gone, I’ll be home by dawn
You know it won’t be long, and I’ll be there
We were slipping through the chaos
Tokes on the bay oh, give another lust, what a rough ride
Singing on the tables, take another taste of the good nights
And it’s like…
And a million miles couldn’t change a thing about our vibe
How we try to think about things about us we don’t like
And how the more that we try, the more that we realize
It’s like…
I’ve been chasing this night
Shots of us in my mind
Turn to stone and I die
I’ve been facing my crimes
You’ve been doing your time
Someone else at your side
And now I’ve been, holding on for life
And there’s one thing, I just can’t deny
It’s so hard giving you up
It’s so hard giving you up
It’s so hard knowing that all of this life is tearing us up
Watching our diamonds turn in to dust
And I’ve been thinking these days
How you keep me awake
And I’m still seeing your face
And I drive through the night
Back home on the 65
Cause I don’t sleep too much
It’s so hard giving you up
So this is how the story starts
The second that you gave us up
I saw smoke in the dead of night
Never just the two of us
The flames wrapped around my trust
Your thunder never made a sound my love
And I know, I followed, your chaos your control
But somehow I could never give you up
And I said Oh, you’re like lighting on my lips
Oh darling
I’ve been burned but never like this,
Oh, it’s like ashes on my skin,
Oh darling
I’ve been burned but never like this.
And yeah I got a couple old scars
Got a lot of broken parts
Lord knows how I ever fell so far
And I know, I followed, your chaos your control
But somehow I could never give you up
(Oh I’ve been burning, I’ve been burning)
I’m just picking up your call in Central Park
As your words came pouring on me
And you’re making every reason sound like art
Beautifully orchestrated
I don’t know what to tell you
Cause my seasons never change
So if you’re leaving then you’re leaving and it’s ok
Trust me now, I feel you
‘Cause I don’t trust myself
Being here ain’t easy
It’s tested me as well
And if all your good intentions
Have turned to something else
I guess you better find a better love (better love)
I guess you better find a better love (better love)
Cause this will never be enough (better love)
I guess you better find a better love (better love)
I don’t know if you’re listening, but it’s true
I didn’t mean to let you down
I just got a couple of things I’m working through
If I’m ever gonna stick around
Can’t deny that I told you, I was never gonna change
So if you’re leaving then you’re leaving and it’s ok
We’d talk for hours we’d be wasting our time
Ain’t nothing changing in-between the lines
So if you’re leaving I won’t criticise
Just don’t go changing your mind
It’s more than a moment, more than a dream
More than the scent of jasmine through a summer breeze
And everybody feeling easy, some kind of a free
Just like a dose of sunlight through my bloodstream
And I said Baby don’t tell me when it’s over,
Cause I’ve been higher that ever and I know I’ll forget about us
And I said baby, don’t tell me when we’re sober,
Cause I’ve been higher than ever and I don’t wanna forget about us
It’s more than a movie
More than a scene, more than a technical
And it’s like the world is moving under our feet
Watch as the stars are dancing through the backstreets
When I look into the sky I get that feeling
Like I’m not coming down
Hey, just need to tell you something that just can’t wait
Hey, maybe you’ll ride away or maybe you’ll stay
But hey, this old guitar and I been thinking for days
How to say
That our love don’t care too much for the unpaid bills on the bedroom floor, and
Our love lives on cheap wine and singing songs to a wasted sunrise
With you, you, with you I feel like I am
With you, you, with you I feel like I am
Somebody, somebody, somebody
With you I feel like I am
Somebody, somebody, somebody
With you I feel like I am
Somebody in control
Like I feel you in my bones
Like I’m somebody, somebody, somebody
With you I feel like I am
Hey, won’t you come with me from New York to LA?
Hey, we’ll play this song in every city we stay
And hey, maybe we’ll stream a million times in one day
Be on our way
And so we made it in New York and LA
And how they sang in every city we played
I hear we streamed a million times yesterday
Oh, how things change
And how the years keep ticking away
And how I wish that you were with me today
‘Cause I’d give anything to do it again
Oh, how we’ve changed
Having no touch
Seven years waiting on starting our love
Now it’s undone
There you go telling me you’re thinking too much
Waiting around, till diamonds turn to dust
Now there’s no-one to pick the pieces up
Because I’ve been true
(You’ve been heart-, you’ve been heart-)
‘Cause I’ve been true
(You’ve been heartbreaking, -breaking)
And I wonder
If you ever really felt from the start
Your cold heart
‘Cause I’ve been true
(You’ve been heartbreaking, -breaking)
Must have been rough
Sneaking ’round lying till the sun comes up
Were you thinking about us
We’re a little past blaming it on drinking too much
Calling me love, till diamonds turn to dust
Now there’s no one to pick the pieces up
Ain’t it funny how a day can change the world
Turn to dirt or paradise
Before you know it, it can burn or turn to gold
Like it all spins on a dime
And I was doing just fine
And then the stars fell out my sky
I guess we never really know why
And I don’t know if I’m going to wake up tomorrow
But I know if I do, I’ll come crawling home to you
And I don’t know if I’m going to make it tomorrow
If my body pulls through
I’ll come crawling home to you, crawling home to you
Ain’t it funny how a breeze becomes a storm
And the dark turns in to light
Just a moment and it all goes right or wrong
In the blink of an eye
Cause I was doing just fine
And then the stars fell out my sky
I guess we never really know why
And I don’t know if you can hear me out there
Running Under Water (Album)
Wires
[Verse 1]
They say I should leave you
But I want nobody else
You’re keeping your guard up
But I see nobody else
There’s nothing like you
And we run, and we run and we hide
And we dance and we dance out of time
And I learn, and I learn and I learn there’s nobody else.
[Chorus]
So show me love
Just enough to lift me up
And even if it tears me up
I’ll know what it feels like
to feel the wires ignite
So show me love
Just enough to pull me up
And even if we lose our hearts
I’ll know what it feels like
To feel the wires, to feel the wires
[Verse 2]
They keep trying to bring me round
But all I think about is you tonight
I keep tripping on the ground
Where we just the other night
There’s nothing like you
And we run, and we run and we hide
And we dance out of time
[Chorus]
[Break]
To feel the wires, to feel the wires ignite
To feel the wires, to feel the wires ignite
To feel the wires, feel the wires ignite
To feel the Wires, to feel the Wires
[Chorus]
Give It All
[Verse 1]
I believe I was justified
To a while for me to realise
On my own
It’s cold when you’re not around
As the rumble comes falling down
Stone by stone
And oh, all I need tonight
Just tell me that you wanna try
Just tell me that you wanna try
And make it all right
[Chorus]
I’m knockin’ at your door
Just asking for something more
Have for the last time
We’ll give it all, give it all
Coz you’re gonna let me know
I think that I lost control
Have we said for the last time
We’ll give it all, give it all
[Verse 2]
And I’m telling you straight tonight
And I hope that you can recognise
I won’t let go
And I know this may take a while
Rebuilding what’s broken down
Stone by stone
[Chorus]
[Break]
Just tell me that you wanna try
And make it all right
[Chorus]
I’m knockin’ at your door
Just asking for something more
Have for the last time
We’ll give it all, give it all
(I’m knocking at your door)
Coz you’re gonna let me know
(I’m knocking at your door)
I think that I lost control
(I’m knocking at your door)
Have we said for the last time
We’ll give it all, give it all
Drown
[Verse 1]
I get it
You’re sinking under
I’m holding out my hand
Trying to save you now
We fight it
Whole-hearted, I know
Our demons come to light
And they take control
[Pre-Chorus]
And this lust has got me laid on the line,
Wonder how many times can we rebuild on wasted ground
Divided, I’m sinking under
You’re holding out your hand
Trying to save me now
[Chorus]
And, oh my love, my love
We got years and years of fighting over nothing
Help me lay these weapons down
oh my love, my love
We got years and years of fighting over nothing
Pray that you won’t let us drown
Pray that you won’t let us drown
Pray that you won’t let us drown
[Verse 2]
From fierce lightning
To cold, heavy thunder
We’re lining up our sights for another round
But we love it
Oh darling, I know
So numb from every scar through our skin and bones
[Pre-Chorus]
And this lust has got me laid on the line
Wonder how many times can we rebuild on broken ground
I wonder if we’re sinking under
Both holding out our hands trying to save this now
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don’t want to waste a night again
Waging wars and breaking walls down
I don’t want to waste a night again
Help me lay down, every weapon now
[Chorus]
Blame
[Verse 1]
It’s a cold symphony,
playing how we could have been,
Do you know, how it feels?
Or are you really done with it?
‘Cause I keep replaying the melodies,
Paris especially, and all the times we talked all night,
and maybe we handled it recklessly,
the issues that came to be,
I always thought we’d be alright,
[Chorus]
But I’ll take the blame, if you ever want to love again,
Won’t you come home,
And I’ll change my ways, if you ever want to try again,
I’ll leave the light on.
[Verse 2]
and I called in my sleep,
dreaming of what could have been,
Cause I keep replaying the memories,
Always a part of me, just regretting every fight,
and maybe we handled it recklessly,
the issues that came to be,
I always thought we’d be alright,
Running Underwater
[Verse1]
If I want to restart us,
Can we go right now,
Loose our flaws and harness,
And we don’t look down,
Watching the waves I,
Wait for the tide to run out.
Forget my body,
Send me some piece of mind,
I’ll hold my hands up,
If you lay to rest your fire,
Give me your reasons,
I’ll take away the meaning.
Oh, and I’m telling you this feels like.
[Chorus]
It’s like I’m running under, running underwater.
It’s like I’m running under, running underwater with you.
It’s like I’m running under, running underwater.
It’s like I’m running under, running underwater with you.
[Verse 2]
If I want to break paths,
Can we leave right now,
Keep my ego guarded,
And never let me down,
Tell me you’re leaving.
Tell me you’ve changed your mind.
Oh now we’re talking about love in the midnight
[Chorus]
[Break]
And I, just need some piece of mind,
You, find it tiring,
Tell me, where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
[Chorus]
Issues
[Verse 1]
No doubt that she’s a fighter,
Ink and torn attire
Its late when she gets higher
Oh the voices bring her down
And still she gets no wiser
Still collecting priors
She aims but she misfires
Trying to keep her soul alive
All eyes on you my love
[Chorus]
She’s working a 9-5 just trying to feel alive
Nothing behind those eyes, yeah she got issues
She’s working a 9-5 she makes me feel alive
Why don’t you realise, girl I got issues too.
We all good issues
[Verse 2]
They say she’s wasted miles,
Chasing empty smiles
No hope for this revival
How the people talk a loud.
Talk
[Verse 1]
I’m not leaving without you
It’s not much to give me your
Give me your time
Coz I’m not giving in to
The technicals
The reasons we’ve turned out the lights
I’m not asking to tell me now
Tell me now
Incessantly inventing with your guard up
I’m not asking to show me now
Show me now
If you still care love
[Chorus]
And all I want is
To talk like we used to
Not heavy hearted
I’m not giving into
The tell me hows
Sorry nows
All our doubts
Have you been thinking bout us
Coz all I wanted
Was to talk
[Verse 2]
And I guessing we both know
Both feel the chemicals
Bringing this back around
I’m guessing we both feel
That knowing us
We’ve gonna keep breaking it down
And I’m asking to tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me how on earth I’m supposed to be
When I’ve started to figure out
Figure out
Our days were the best of me
[Chorus]
[Break]
Drinking too much wine about us
How your feet get cold about us
Your friends talk too much about us
And how we’re gonna rule this world about us
And maybe we felt short
Never out of sight
Maybe we could set it right
Maybe we could set it right
[Chorus]
Ropes
[Verse 1]
I remember how we used to be
The cheap sweets and the magazines
We’d, just play all the free CDs, I
I remember how we used to be.
And all the days that we used to laugh
The, shit games and trading cards
We’d, pull faces in photographs
I, I remember how we used to laugh.
[Pre Chrous]
And I know that we’ve grown apart
We’ve, crossed wires and we’ve broken hearts, but
I know how it used to be
How it used to be..
[Chorus]
When it feels like your head’s going under
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
When it feels like the street lights don’t burn bright
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
To guide you home.
I’ll bring you home.
[Verse 2]
I remember how we used to be, just
Two kids on a weary street, we’d
Play drums on the concrete
I, I remember how we used to be
And all the days that we used to try
To, get girls on a Friday night
We’d, give up when we got denied, but
I remember how we used to try
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
When it feels like your head’s going under
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
When it feels like the street lights don’t burn bright
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
To guide you home.
I’ll bring you home
To guide you home.
I’ll bring you home.
[Break]
Everybody gets lost sometimes
I know how it goes
I, don’t know what you’re looking for,
I’m knocking at your door.
Everybody gets lost sometimes
I know how it goes
I, don’t know what you’re looking for,
I’m knocking at your door.
[Chorus]
When it feels like your head’s going under
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
When it feels like the street lights don’t burn bright
I’ll break down your silence
Yeah I’ll be your ropes
To guide you home.
I’ll bring you home
To guide you home.
I’ll bring you home.
Nobody Like You
[Verse 1]
How I was I to know
I was falling like a stone
Into your soul
How was I to know
I been by your side
As you stray from wrong to right
Have you never been told
How was I to know
All your sins will fade like whispers in the night
[Chorus]
You can testify a thousand times
But you won’t change my mind
Coz there ain’t nobody like you
No there ain’t nobody nobody like you
I wont say goodbye or compromise
No I wont change my mind
Coz there ain’t nobody like you
No there ain’t nobody nobody like you
[Verse 2]
How was I to Know
That she’d slowly take control
It was so cold
How was I to know
But I wont criticise
As she strays from wrong to right
If you’d never been told
How were you to know
[Chorus]
[Break]
And I know you’ve done some wrong
Every time when you came around
And I know nobodies gold
When the thorns were your playing ground
So you beg and hold the blame
But we burn to the bitter end
Then we grow from the bitter end
[Chorus x2]
If You Don’t Love me
[Verse 1]
I’ll be a fool for you all night,
Running around, like your satellite,
A glass full of hope and red wine,
And then you’re gone,
You’ve taken flight,
And I don’t see no good reason,
You keep me cuffed,
I don’t see no reasons why,
[Chorus]
Cause if you don’t love me, If you don’t love me,
If you don’t love me, why do you care?
And when you mislead me, you ain’t making this easy,
Cause if you don’t love me, why do you care?
[Verse 2]
And you tell me you miss sharing my space,
you didn’t mean a word,
but it helped the pain,
And despite all the choices you’ve made,
the hardest part, is when I fall again,
[Bridge]
and it seems anytime that I move on,
you call me up, just to keep my heart on ice,
but i’m still a fool for you each time,
Cause you hold me down,
and I don’t see no reasons why.
Giving Up
[Verse 1]
Well I’m tired of the breaks,
and I’m tired of the fix,
Learnt the message on my own,
Took me everywhere but I never saw home,
I’m a stake in the earth just looking up,
Nowhere to go but down,
A 9lb hammer just showing me the ground,
So I’m giving it up, giving all my love,
Giving it up, giving all my love, to this,
[Chorus]
We could start again, but,
I’ve been down that road before,
Let me just pretend,
Like I’m giving it up, giving all my love.
[Verse 2]
It’s a trigger that I’m always pulling,
Never seem to align my sights,
Believe one day i’m gonna get it right,
and we’re all just people trying to make this life,
build where nothing stood before,
The rain keep falling, and pushing me to shore
So I’m giving it up, giving all my love,
Giving it up, giving all my love, to this,
