Water on the feelings that I do not like about the situation, I can feel my teeth trying to break the ice I’m helpless, helpless when it comes to you I’ll say nothing, hope it gets through, through I don’t know how to play the game you say that we’re not playing, we’re not playing well and I’m not proud of all the loud things I’ve been saying I lost my way inside our house I would be a burden with the things that I feel if I spell them out and make as if they’re real, I’m not sure what is real I’m selfish, selfish when it come to you I guess I feel left out, I’ll pull through, through I don’t know how to play the game you say that we’re not playing, we’re not playing well and I’m not proud of all the loud things I’ve been saying I lost my way inside our house

Soon 03:42
I can’t let you sweep me off my feet just yet when they’ve only just landed firm on the ground and I’m so tired of being messed around You’ve watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess so maybe you could wait for me, I’ll do my best to get out of this dreary place I’ll have to face this loneliness I’ve been hiding my tears from my mother and she, she and my father still laugh together, see I’d like to have real love someday and I’d like to get past this heartbreak soon I feel like I’m living when I smell of cigarette smoke, rich and bitter, and yesterday I couldn’t stop remembering him oh, what a waste of breath and time I’ve been hiding my tears from my mother and she, she and my father still laugh together, see I’d like to have real love someday and I’d like to get past this heartbreak soon

Keeping Time 03:31
Now I'm keeping time, or at least I'm learning how to I'm taking flight, or at least I'm just about to all the ways we can bruise are of use to us all the things I have burnt, I have learnt their cost and oh there's cracks in me oh, the cracks in me I've been braced by the ignition, waiting for a command Young girl, I'm tired of your wishing and waiting has done me harm I've done me harm I was sinking in to lust like it was water always juggling something I could not afford to but I want someone who doesn't mind it when I stand, I want someone who's funny looking when they dance I wanna dance with them, I wanna dance with them I've been braced by the ignition, waiting for a command Young girl, I'm tired of your wishing and waiting has done me harm I want the time to pass so I am speeding down the road I want the time to pass so I can move on and swallow this and God, I want the time to stop so I don't have to grow old Wooo Wooo

Slow Mover 03:10
Friend, old friend, it’s 4am What are we doing in the street? I don’t want to buy fried chicken, I wish I was going to sleep I don’t want to kiss you underneath that flashing sign What’s the hurry, we’re not ready, we’ve got plenty of time Maybe we’ll get married Maybe fall in love Could you make me fall asleep when you’re holding me Try set me on fire, try set me on fire, try set me on There’s someone else but I twist all of his words and he twists mine I’ll have to let him go, we sometimes fit but we always lie He thinks we could make it work but only when he’s drunk and you think you could help me swim, but I’ve already sunk So maybe you’ll get married Maybe fall in love Could you go on and fall asleep, when you’re not holding me Go get set on fire, go get set on fire, go get set on Friend, I am a slow, slow mover Friend, I am a slow, slow girl trying to be kind, kind, kinder crawling in another world But maybe one day we’ll get married Maybe fall in love Could you make me fall asleep when you’re holding me Try set me on fire, try set me on fire, try set me on fire… try set me on

Missing Me 03:19
Loving you has thrown me Loving you is lonely, loving you is lonely Oh, you can swagger You can gather attention But I’m sick of your photographs, I'm so sick of your photographs Oh, you can chatter You could talk me to nothing But I’m tired of being your sweetheart, I’m tired of being your sweetheart (Chorus) Loving you has thrown me You have been my only rock on the ground Now that I’m out of sight, loving you is lonely Loving you is lonely I don’t want a baby that I beg and that I borrow And I don’t want to follow you, I’m just too proud to follow you You don’t want a baby you’re gonna have to call tomorrow You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now (Chorus) Loving you has thrown me You have been my only rock on the ground Now that I’m out of sight, loving you is lonely Oh, loving you is lonely Lonely, la, lonely, Loving you is lonely Oh, loving you has thrown me You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now You better be missing me now

Push 04:51
I’ll say our goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I’ll save us some time I’ve never been good at hiding my feelings from my face I let you take the lead, now I’m all dressed up with no place to go and if I had dignity, I put it down right when we began, but I’ve got back my pride Oh lover, you let me so close to the line Push me further and further, I’ll save us time time if you’re gonna push me over, I’ll do it I will say our goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I’ll save us some time I never met her, don’t want to, she’ll just give a face to the hole that I dug in this stupid minefield where I tried to plant my love, plant my love Oh lover, you let me so close to the line push me further and further, I’ll save us time time if you’re gonna push me over, I’ll do it I will say our goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I’ll save us some time Push me over the line, and I’ll save us some time, push me over the line, and I’ll save us some time I’ll say our goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I’ll save us some time

Pasta 04:38
My bedroom is a disaster My dog has got kidney failure, failure I've been sitting at the bar too much, kissing people in my head and saying rubbish things I should not have said And they're building things outside my window Everywhere I look there are signposts, signposts But I just sit in my house making noise for fun and I'm not moving much, or proving much to anyone I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while and I'm feeling tired I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while And I spend so much time eating pasta Though I'm probably allergic, and other people seem to move so much faster I wonder why I'm feeling lonely When there's plenty of ways to be alone, I guess I spent all of yesterday on my phone I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while and I'm feeling tired I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while How am I simultaneously on top of someone's pedestal and also underneath someone else's shoe Oh, isn't it a shame about the view Can anybody climb aboard this structure I have made to wrap myself around, I promise that there is room Oh, isn't it a shame about the view I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while and I'm feeling tired I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while But now I'm really trying I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while but I'm really trying I've been lost, I've been lost I've been lost, I've been lost for a while

Standout 04:37
You don’t have room for me, that I can understand but you don’t have words for me, even though you’re a rambling man darling, why are you acting like this was all pretend and holding your head so high at the end I felt it all change today, felt this mess come undone I was hoping you’d try to say something with a little bit of love, cause You were a standout, and I am sleeping alone now You were a standing, now I’m sleeping, now I’m sleeping I brought time with me when I landed back home in the heat, You forgot to be kind to me, and we’ve never had air that was clean oh, I know I’m responsible for half of the shit that went on and the way that we kept in touch for so long and I felt it all change today, but I still let my dress come undone I was hoping you’d try to say something with a little bit of love, like You were a standout, and I’ll be sleeping alone now You were a standout, now I’m sleeping, now I’m sleeping I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone but I do, yeah I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone, I wanted you I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone but I do, yeah I don’t want someone, I don’t want someone, I wanted you, you I wanted you, you, I wanted you, you

Mood Song 04:18
I wouldn’t drive down your street, I don’t drive and I wouldn’t dance if you asked me I’m not in the mood to jive There’s a thing you’d like to say that you won’t there’s a thing I’d like to do that I can’t ooh, ooh Well there’s no need to explain it don’t I know that people, we tend to get shaky so let’s just keep that ship at bay keep that shit far away from me If there’s a think you’d like to fix, well go on and if you’d rather not be here, move along ooh, ooh it’s better to run it’s better to run it’s better to run
10.
The other night, I explained as we drove along that I don’t like the man who sings this song I have heard him referring to girls as if they are a game, And you and I have been going together for a while, but you were alone every time you came and you are in my home now, and I am a woman I want to get dirty now that I’ve got clean and when I am bleeding I don’t feel like speaking, I’m not your teacher, I am little and I am learning, and have been burning to remind you that we all live right beside this door, and what we keep it open for you are in my home now, and I am a woman you are in my home now, and I am a woman you are in my home, you are in my home and i am a woman, a woman, a woman
11.
If You Call 07:41
I’m putting down the habit, that habit of looking back on all of it and wishing I had done better Oh, I just want to feel it, feel that I like who I’m becoming and feel alright in the quiet I know the sun don’t rise and set above me I don’t want you to compromise a lot to love me But if you call, I’ll turn on the light for you If you call, I’m going to be bright for you If you call I’ve been a little darker than I’ve been wanting you to see, though you’ve been coming round needing to be looked after Well, I don’t have an answer why I’ve been buried underneath some kind of mountain that I made, oh some disaster I know the sun don’t rise and set above me I don’t want you to compromise a lot to love me But if you call, I’ll turn on the light for you If you call, I’m going to be bright for you If you call I’ll tell you something that I’ve learned as we’ve been watching people leaving All the loving that we’ve earned is going to keep us breathing, All the loving that we’ve earned is going to keep us breathing, is going to keep us breathing, is going to keep us breathing
