Runaway

Guy Fawkes Day

Parisian Skies

Parisian sky

Shadows beneath your eyes

All we have now

(And the arc of your brow)

You came to leave these shores

An inkling in your pores

We came to bid farewell

The tears began to swell

Oh, I don't think she knew

The dark withholds
And lives unfold
We always slept so well
Our bodies seemed to gel

The mind persists
We have thoughts to exist
It was a test I failed
Her passion never paled

Oh, I don't think she knew
How much I loved her
Oh, I don't think she knew

Is this the thrill of the chase?
How can I keep up the pace?

Oh, I don't think she knew
How much I loved her
Oh, I don't think she knew
Oh Rebecca, your loss was mine too

Did you ever feel the thrill of the chase?
The breath on your neck in the locked embrace
Did you ever feel the thrill of the chase?
The hairs on your neck in a lost embrace

I love the tiny veins on you back
They remind me of the way porcelain cracks

Karaoke Plays

You write a list of things to do
To occupy the time that you could use
But in my mind it's never final
And when you sleep I try not to wake you as I leave

Oh, I waited up for you
But you didn't come back home
Oh, I waited up for you
Couldn't you come back home?

If someone gets run down
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background
But there is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry
Karaoke plays
If someone gets run down

We never did want the dawn to break
Decided from the sheets in which we laid
You know I changed my ways forever
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave

Oh, I waited up for you
But you didn't come back home
Oh, I waited up for you
Couldn't you come back home?

If someone gets run down
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background
But there is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry
Karaoke plays
If someone gets run down

I came home, there were radio waves
I heard voices through the radio waves
I came home, you were nowhere to be found
The lights were on and the radio played
I came home, there were radio waves
A children's choire through the radio waves
Every night we've got so much to say
I wanna hear all the things you did today

If someone gets run down
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background
But there is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry
Karaoke plays

I Want You to Stay

I rewrite my life beneath the moonlight,

Please hold me now till my breath runs out,

There are many things that I am not,

But there's one thing that I cant deny

A double bluff you fed me lines,

The shortest cut you're searching for,

A mesh of tones surround your eyes,

I wish I knew how it came to this

I always said you could rely on me,

Now it seems that I was wrong,

I want you to stay,

I want you to stay with me

Cos nothing works round here,

Where cranes collect the sky,

I long for the neon signs of night,

Cos nothing works round here,

You know the way I feel,

Can you remember what we had?

Why do you think I over take?

I speak to you and you don't say no,

A camera runs just to collect,

I wish I knew how it came to this

The lies we tell are bound on film,

And you start to push your lips to mine,

Outside my room you closed your eyes,

And in the end it came to this

I always said you could rely on me,

Now it seems that I was wrong,

I want you to stay,

I want you to stay with me

Cos nothing works round here,

Where cranes collect the sky,

I think of your face at night,

Cos nothing works round here

You know the way I feel

Can you remember what we had?

As time gets more compressed,

You're always my reminder,

A lifetime disappears,

Can you remember what we had?

As time gets more compressed,

You're always my reminder,

You're always my reminder

You know the way I feel,

You know the way I feel

I Believe Everything Happens For a Reason...

Loneliness
