Lyrics

Other Side

deep on the other side of the world
I'm a sailor
I'm a fighter
but here on our little part of the world
I am nothing
but a writer
but for you I would tear it down
leave this home
I would burn it all for you
all for you

round here the same is still the same
though they've met me they can't recall my name
the face seems familiar but it's plain
just another no one passing in the rain
but for you I would tear it down
leave this home
I would burn it all

I wish I could be somebody for you
I wish I could be someone who cared
I wish I could be somebody for you
but I can't
I'll never be there

We're Leaving

we are six floss wings
cast aside by kids
who meant to fly their bikes
but they never left this side

what will I take from you?
what will I learn?
the moment we break in two
the second we burn
this works out great for you
I'm less enthused
whatever I take from you we're leaving
leaving this behind

the grass is all unmown
the footpath cracking
these homes were never built
and the well is dry

I Often Follow

these days go on
after the sun is dead and gone
the moon's trying hard to capture your attention
a poor lost light just looking for affection

a rubber soul and a carry bag
a pistol spoiled by candle wax
and it's so damn hard to leave
when she's standing right in front of me

this night's a total miss
who am I trying to impress?
promise to myself another drink is all
trying so hard to not try hard at all

Let Me Know

you cross your legs in my direction
and you're playing with your hair again
when you left the party way to early
I was looking for a sign

the way you sigh and roll your eyes
when your sister says it's time to say goodnight
but you keep texting
I hold my breath
and hope that I am right

when you gonna take the time for me?
when you gonna let me know what's on your mind for me?
when you gonna let me on inside
for the night?

when you gonna take the time for me?
when you gonna let me know what's on your mind for me?
when you gonna let me on inside
before I die

Let's Pretend

my love, let's pretend we are only friends
and there's nothing wrong with friends having other friends over
my love, let's pretend we are only friends
then you don't have to worry that I worry who you're seeing on the side

if you change your mind
honey, you know mine
it's the one that flipped on the side
went away for a while
now it waits in the corner to dry
you say you don't mind

angel, let's pretend we are only men
yeah, we've fallen but somehow we've fallen in bed
angel, let's move along
you can keep your glasses on
pretty soon they'll know we're gone
but I'll be gone if you don't

change your mind
honey, you know mine
it's the one that flipped on the side
went away for a while
now it waits in the corner to dry
you say you don't mind
that we can't hit rewind
that we don't have the time
and everybody knows

my love, let's pretend we were never there
I was staying down south and you never dance

if you change your mind
honey, you know mine
it's the one that flipped on the side
went away for a while
now it waits in the corner to dry
you say you don't mind
