It's taken 23 years to realise, We don't know what's coming next, There's foolish dreams and impractical fears, Between everything and nothing left. It's taken 23 weeks of traveling free, Taking on this globe alone. It took ink in flesh and sunburnt neck...

They didn't ask him to leave when the bell rung Drinking whiskey much older than I am I sat and I watched him watching his watch And he turned round and asked me the time The waitress wandered across from the kitchen She was ever so slightly singing A so...

He sees life through a two pint glasses, Sticks to a bottle like a back stage pass, Starting to feel like he's disappeared from view. Find him in the bathroom, racking one for that dude, Out on the dance floor, tracks he can dance to, Spilling his drink...

When I look into your face there's no more dreaming, When I look into your eyes there's no more words, Butterflies, Long drives on sunset evenings, Basically you could knock me off the earth, Got a laugh that could catch, And a smile that could take ove...

I was the person that you loved, And out of all the things you I wish I could be, I closed my eyes until I'd lost, My greatest love not just the rush you gave to me, Need becomes a want I can't contain, I forgot it's you who used to fill my veins now, I...

I always felt like you've known me, I thought of you when I got lonely, Now there's nothing else I can do, This is me reaching out to you Dear you, I hope you don't mind me writing, 'cause it's been some time since we last spoke, I hope you're doing more...

I've been told that I'm not good enough a million times, I've been trying to kid myself with a million lies, I've been saying I'm so strong when I'm dying inside, I was engineered that way; I've been left behind. You are, you are More than you will ever...

When I was a kid we only had 4 channels on the TV yep - 1, 2, 4 and 4 and if you couldn't find a channel that was playing The Simpsons then you were probbaly calling for your friend next door. I remember the first album that I bought. I memorised the slee...

To live fast and die old What a perfect work of art To live with someone you love And both get in bed before it's dark Life gets better, the hangovers get worse Oh, when did I get so old? I even pay train fares now And most days, I do what I'm told I...

I was there when you walked away Man, she was begging you to stay I witness all the things you said You took my breath away I was there to heal her scars It nearly broke us both apart Not sure you knew you hit so hard But that is who you are She tries...

I'll kiss you all over your head when you're here And I won't let you out of my sight It's definite that I won't drink as much beer And I won't sleep half as much at night And I'll watch you learn All the things that I've learnt And repeat all the word...

The TV told me that I can't avoid the bad news So I turned it off and checked my watch and now it's past noon Take a moment take a walk outside Send a text so I can check the time that you'll arive I wonder what to expect Look at how I'm dressed Think we...

I live in a glass house But I'm forever throwing stones Most of it's broken But I call it my home I was smoking like a chimney I was standing on the porch Well the bell is kept on ringing but there was no one at the door Well, you might have seen the...

If you don't want me to hold your hand Then I'll be fine and I'll try to understand But if you fall and I'm not there It'd break my heart and that's not fair I'll have time for you when time is running out I'll have faith when you have doubts I'll take...

I was stung by the sting of the worst of bees in New Orleans I was scared and unprepared but right there I was happy The one sunset I won't forget You took my breath it was so perfect The journey of me and you started in New Orleans We got the best quali...

We got left a warning so we separate the crowds, We question and we argue and we disrespect and doubt. I believe the answer lies in caring so much less, In things that don't concern you that you don't need to address. There's no safety in this church, yo...

Dublin by the neon lights The time we stopped to watch that fight You asked me if I'd fight someone for you No Way were you s'posed to see Past cocktail drinks at the trinity You were far too fucking into me So I'm gone You can go now But just don'...

I grab your hand you let go, You shake your head and say 'no', I feel my voice collapse with my hopes, You turn your back and time slows oh, You leave the bar, I leave my drink and my coat where they are, And follow you on to the street, You turn aroun...

I found a map and it broke my heart I didn't know that I'd ever go this far With a compass point driving ink into my arm The father, son and the holy goast We don't talk too much, never been that close Pouring spirits while I follow the Northern star...

This town is like a circus so if you're starting to feel nervous then we'll go and pet dogs on the high street, Pull the photo booth curtain check if the bar is serving, if it isn't we'll go and get ice cream, We can eat sundaes because it is Sunday, and was...

Drinking coffee at the bus stop, buildings hanging over me, Can't see the skyline or the high life this is where it's supposed to be, I hate the feeling always reading about someone else's success, It's hard to understand what's underneath the lining of th...

I have a bullet in this gun And a blue tuxedo on Your like cyanide I felt your dagger in my heart Like you've broken both my arms I look at you and I die inside You With your lies and faults With your nuts and bolts With your snide insults You're li...

Sitting in the station Contemplating looks on peoples faces Wondering why they're smiling Or what troubles they are facing I don't know why I'm thinking it But i just take the time and sit And wonder what their dream is And how they're trying to face i...

I've got my feet on the ground but I know where my heart is, Writing a song doesn't make me an artist, Tryna get somewhere, try my hardest, Somewhere now and I haven't even started yet. I've got so much to do, But I'm too tired to put on my shoes, And w...

I'm friends with Dr Jekyll so I heckled with Hyde The motions of the potions made the oceans collide I need some time away from you Yes the rocket wouldn't stop it Saturn started to cry Jupiter the stupid guy came down from the sky I need some time away...

I guess you stop feelin', Guess you stop dreamin' Guess you stop needin' me, Drank a third of vodka, Kicked me out the front door, Shoutin' bout loyalties, Leave me in the backstreet, Where you nearly glassed me, Accident or not; I'm still ble...

He said part of me has been lost at sea Never to return again With her eyes wide open She was softly spoken She said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?" You look so fine, sailor Your shoes still shine After years of a house that don't sway But...

They married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home She wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home They danced before their families and they held each other close And on that lovely night in June, oh he loved her so The...

People always wondered why, She'd walk around so quietly looking like she didn't have a clue At work they pushed her around, Never let that get her down, And when she felt like she couldn't make it through She said... chorus ----------------- You sh...

When the lights go out, And the show is over, When the crowd has gone, And you know you're sober, You put trust in all those people Who convinced you it was right, And while you can't, You know the boss will sleep tonight. I took time, There were thi...

I’ve been under water trying to push the anchor off me, No air, I fill my lungs with concrete, I should be drowning way down in the deep, Should be broken drift wood on the beach. [Chours]: We won’t abandon this ship, We are unsinkable, Bring on the s...

He's my husband a man, He's a father with stories he tells, Of things that he lived through, And things that he watched die as well, He said I've fought wars and I've had my day, I was forced to be strong, I was taught to be brave and I was, I saw thing...
