"Paper Back"

You're like a book
You're full of stories
And I haven't read in ages
I'm hanging on
To your every word
Don't want to stop turning the pages

Cause you're a fantasy adventure
All the way
I want to see this through
To the ending

Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down

You're an open book
No mysteries to keep
Yeah, only to be revealed
The journey now to start
Your words pressed on my heart
Behind my lips they're sealed

Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down

My eyes fixed on this action, rising
Your hands enfolded in mine
I want to touch your cream skin, paper back
It's all connected at the spine

"Too"

Have I come too far
Have I one too many scars
Too numb and jaded, jarred

Is it too far to reach
Are we allotted each
Am I too old to teach

And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal

Have I burnt it down
The only bridge back into town
With families and singing sounds

Is it too hard
To hold your deck of cards
Without the house falling apart

And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal

"I Found Someone Else"

Only so long
You can hold on
Waiting around for someone to find you
It's a long drive
And a long night
So much harder without someone beside you

And I've waited
You said, "patient"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
So I found someone else

We are human
There's only doing
It can't all be in our heads
All those chances
Lonely dances
In words you never said

And I've waited
You said "patience, love"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant, love
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
To help me see outside myself
So I found someone else

"Filler"

Ever since
Ever since her
Everyone
Everyone was just filler
Ever since
Ever since her
Everything
That was sweet became bitter

But you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you

Ever since
Ever since you
Everyone
Everyone is see-through
I'm so perplexed by the mystery in front of me
That you were here, but you were never here beside me
I get a glimpse of you, a little bit blinding
But I'd rather not see than have that light not shining

And you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
No, the filler just won't do

"Nothing To Hide"

There's no reason to fight
If there's nothing to hide
You can plot our your point
On two innocent sides
Two opposite souls
Two opposite poles
We don't have to give way to pride

If we've got nothing to hide

You're shying away
Like you've nothing to say
You look in my eyes
Like you're not gonna stay
If you've nothing to prove
Then there's nothing to lose
In a game that you'll never play

You're fading away
You're fading away

But if you live in the light
Then we've got nothing to hide

Two opposite souls
Two opposite poles
We don't have to give way to pride
Two opposite souls
With two opposite goals
Won't survive

"Day One"

Day one
Here's your rules and regulations
Day one
Take your number registration
Day one
All laid out in perfect tension
Day one
Everyone has a choice, but you've only got one

Do I have to fall
Exactly into your world to have it all
I didn't know love had so many walls
To keep me out
To keep me out

Day one
And you don't belong here
Day one
You can only be wrong here
Day one
Get used to surrender
Apologies, promises, never remembered

Do I have to fall
Exactly into your world to have it all
I didn't know love had so many walls
To keep me out
To keep me out

And time will always tell
But first impressions paint it well
Break off the bars to your prison cell
Into a different kind of hell

Do I have to fall apart every time
Lose it all to finally find
The home that I've been hoping for all this time
Do I have to fall

"I Don't Believe"

I don't believe in heartbreak
I don't believe in pain
I don't believe we have to be the same
I don't believe your motives
I don't believe you noticed, no
You were always focused on the blame

You want me
Close enough to hurt
And far enough away
Not to hurt you in any way

I don't believe in fairness
I don't believe in fame
I don't believe we're treated all the same
I don't believe in prisons
But still I find them in religion
I believe in how you push people away

You want me
Close enough to hurt
And far enough away
Not to hurt you in any way
You want me
Close, closer
So you say

I don't believe you understand
I don't believe that it was ever in your plan
I don't believe you understand love
I don't, I don't
