Lyrics
You changed your clothes and company,
Bought memberships and earrings,
Exchanged your heart and let it bleed,
Replaced the one I'm missingYou built me up, then changed my name
You gave me out, like promises
You saved it all, to buy your seat
And gave up love for lovelyCuz nothing gold can ever stay
But in your life, it holds the weight,
Cuz money breathes and eats away
The strength of love in everythingYou built me up, then changed my name
You gave me out, like promises
You saved it all, to buy your seat
And gave up love for lovelyYou built me up, then changed my name
You gave me out, like promises
You saved it all, to buy your seat
And gave up love for lovely -

Lyrics
Quit swimming, only one can float
And I know I won't
In the car you'll call it off
But it's just what I thought
Reckless, we fall apart
Holding each others' hearts
Slipping away, praying
This isn't all we've got,
But stopping could stop my heart
I'm slipping awayWe're on the edge, don't throw us off
Either way, you'll never stop
Only fools rush out,
But they're still better offReckless, we fall apart
Holding each others' hearts
Slipping away, praying
This isn't all we've got,
But stopping could stop my heart
I'm slipping awayReckless, we fall apart
Holding each others' hearts
Slipping away, praying
This isn't all we've got,
But stopping could stop my heart
I'm slipping away -

Lyrics
Don't go, you know I try to keep you by my side
I try to stop what I'm thinking, never get a thing that I want
Don't want to see what I'm missing, never see what you've becomeDon't be so cold, I won't wait till later when we're both old
I try to stop what I'm thinking, never get a thing that I want
Don't want to see what I'm missing, never see what you've becomeYou'll pick up your phone before I can pick your heart
You're running in circles, you're not running farScreaming out loud, but no one's listening to me now
I try to stop what I'm thinking, never get a thing that I want
Don't want to see what I'm missing, never see what you've become -

Lyrics
I wish I was somewhat mysterious
And careless too, how about you?Don't try to fake it, don't try to fake
How about this guy you thought
You had all wrapped up in your heart
But don't feel lost
'Cause I'm still here to talkTell me what he did,
I know he left for something
Just go ahead
I won't leave you with nothingDon't try to fake it, don't try to fake
How about this guy you thought
You had all wrapped up in your heart
But don't feel lost
'Cause I'm still here to talkYou know I've got you
You know I've got you
You know I've got you
You know I've got you -

Lyrics
In a Broadway play, you're the beauty queen
With a voice so soft, and hands so clean
I like it when you speak to me
You know I'm not too young to seeI know you see it, I know you get it
I know you see it, I know you get itHot spell, New York City
But you made time for me
We built fires on the beach
Drank wine for a weekBut now you're back in London,
And I'm still at home
There's something so wrong now
We're both aloneI know you see it, I know you get it
I know you see it, I know you get itCenturies of silence cannot silence this
Send the crowd in, send the crowd
Century, oh, century, oh
Tell her how you feel and then let go of it
Say it once and say it loud
Century, oh, centuryI know you see it, I know you get it
I know you see it, I know you get itI know you see it, I know you get it
I know you see it, I know you get it -

Lyrics
Six months too young, but too close to death
You knew his fate but still wanted to wait
For a chance of breathOh this is all, this is all we're waiting for
Give up the ghost, and do your best to let goDoctors cried, said "you stubborn child, you need to get some rest"
"Yeah we can't run from it, but we're still doing our best"Oh this is all, this is all we're waiting for
Give up the ghost, and do your best to let goYou wanted to wait, you wanted to wait
Oh this is all, this is all we're waiting for
Give up the ghost, and do your best to let go
Oh this is all, this is all we're waiting for
Give up the ghost, and do your best to let go -

Lyrics
You stole I took, you've got the look
We tried to run, you're still winning some
Some of the time I think I'm ahead,
But then you say that's not, that's not it
You know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can't
You know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can'tDon't tell me all the things he's doing back home
You said, ͞I can't,͟ but I know you could
Give me a chance, give me a chanceYou know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can't
You know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can'tOpen my eyes to something outside
You know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can't
You know I've got, yeah you know I've got you
You try to stop but you just can't, you just can't -

Lyrics
I loved you, but I didn't open up
I kept my word, but wasn't good enough
I had a change, but never took you back
But now you're halfway home and it's too late for thatI miss the way you opened up to me
And mornings spent begging at your feet
The choice is made you've given up on me
And I'm to blame and can hardly sleepYou've got that look on your face
You've got that look on your face
Don't take me back
You're better than thatYou've got that look on your face
Oh Grace
You've got that look on your face
Oh Grace -

Lyrics
You've got new streets
To learn on bare feet
Before the morning train arrives
To bring you back to meStreetlights make for good tour guides
So darling put them to good use
On these your long nightsDaydreams, you come in daydreams
Looking young and full of life in all the pride you own
Your passport's just marked up pages
Of all the places that you've been, but never really knownI can't watch you fall alone
But I can't help you walk alone
I pray new shoes will bring you home
I pray new shoes will bring you home -
