NOVEMBER
Sweet ordinary morning
A quiet grace, a stillness fills the air
Can you see oh the desperate kind of beauty
In the sky where we left our parachutes behind
Don’t you dare be afraid
Because I’m here to stay
You brought me to life
But this life ain’t for surviving
This life is for living
Bars spilling out into exultant streets
Where the young and reckless dance to music ringing in their ears
We can play our records for the whole damn town
Through the empty windows of our cars
Though the light pollution, we can feel the stars
Don’t you dare be afraid
Because I’m here to stay
You brought me to life
But this life ain’t for surviving
When the rain beats down the roof over our heads
We both know that we can swim
And revel in the chaos of it
All I do is look in your eyes
And I see that beautiful midnight sky
So hold me tight
We’ll be a cliff against a raging sea and the terror of its might
My home is in your eyes
We’ll be alone but never lonely in the splendour of the night
We’ll be alone but never lonely
It’s you and me
It’s you and me
Oh Ohh (x4)

WASTE A LITTLE TIME
It’s when you’re staring out the windows, baby
I can see it taking you by surprise
Crystal clear green eyes full of wonder
At the hazy purple sky
Head in the city and your heart in the wild
Been running so long you’re on your own
This kind of woman can’t be tamed by a smile
But she hasn’t been free for a while
Ooh won’t you waste a little time with me
Ooh won’t you open up your eyes and see
You wear the summer light like a halo
But sometimes I think it wears you out
A heavy golden crown only dragging you down
Now we’re flying down an open road
Breeze in our hair you know we don’t have a care
We got the wheels and the wind, put me in a spin
You know it’s not much, a touch, but it’s such a rush
Ooh won’t you waste a little time with me
Ooh won’t you open up your eyes and see
Ooh I could be your little island in the sea
Ooh won’t you waste a little time with me
Ooh won’t you waste a little time with me
Ooh won’t you open up your eyes and see
Ooh I could be your little island in the sea
Ooh won’t you waste a little time with me
Meet you down by the water’s edge
Meet you down by the water’s edge
Won’t you waste, won’t you waste a little time (x4)
Won’t you waste a little time with me, my darling

ENOUGH
There’s an open fire
In her eyes when we’re alone
But the hearth, it runs cold in a crowd
Her skin, it changes colour
Depending on others
She disappears
Determined to be everyone
Forgetting to be someone, least of all herself
Haven’t you had enough of hiding out
Transcending, pretending, missing out
Skip through the forest
You lose the path among the trees
Thinking freely don’t mean thinking clearly
Was it kidnapping or rescue when you stole me far away
And who was saving who?
I was a charm upon a necklace wrapped around you
Haven’t you had enough of hiding out
Transcending, pretending, missing out
Don’t you ever want to find it out?
Cause in a maelstrom of desperation
The truth comes out
When you’ve already drowned
I know you’re missing me now
We gotta let this fire burn itself out

POSTCARD
The lazy blue of the ocean
Cigarette smoke drifts across the sun
It forms a lasso and pulls it down
Oh so slowly
And paints the seaside sky with gold
I’m just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we’ve done
I’m losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body’s here in paradise but I’m still there with you
Time floats by in this sleepy town
But I can’t sleep at all
With your voice ringing through my head
Oh so sweetly
Like a church bell singing over the cliffs
Now I’m just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we’ve done
I’m losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body’s here in paradise but I’m still there with you
Do you think of me, however briefly, in the cold back home
When the winter wind takes ahold of your skin with an icy hand
Because my coat’s not around your shoulders anymore
My coat’s not around your shoulders anymore
Now I’m just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we’ve done
I’m losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body’s here in paradise but I’m still there with you

Pieces of glass
Falling like rain
As time passes us by
We see the mosaic

EVEN IF YOU BREAK MY HEART
Edge to your voice like steel
You say you want something real, well, it’s all around you
It’s all around you my love
Fingers dance across the strings
Searching for answers buried within your father’s old guitar
It’s all around you my love
There’s nothing more that I can do
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what you don’t
I will always love you
Together just feels so hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart
Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you
All the ugly things we’ve seen
Love isn’t always clean, no
It tests you, it breaks you, it beats you down
It leaves you in the gutter with your fears and your sounds
Passion and history bind us like chains
Sweet memories of the Harbour Bridge shimmering in the rain
I might feel everything, and you might feel nothing at all
Do you remember when we lost the joy of it all?
There’s nothing more that I can do
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what you don’t
I will always love you
Together just feels so hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart
Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you
If I’m the mirror in which you see
This shattered image of yourself
Is it you or me that’s broken?
Together feels so damn hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart
Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you (x3)

TWICE OVER (FEAT. GRETTA RAY)
Oh my love
You came at me like an apparition
And all at once, you were gone
I was hypnotised
My heart a balloon taken to the skies
I followed the string back to you
Don’t come any closer
Cause in two days we’ll be over
I can’t lose you twice over
That I know, that I know
Oh my love
The night we met we cleared the dance floor
And even then I wanted so much more
Now you’re here
If we never sleep then maybe we’ll get to keep
Holding on to today
Somehow someway
Don’t come any closer
Cause in two days we’ll be over
I can’t lose you twice over
That I know, that I know
Ooh ooh (x4)
Don’t come any closer
Cause in two days we’ll be over
I can’t lose you twice over
That I know, that I know
La da da da (x4)
