Don't Care
02:27
|

I don't care
If the sun doesn't shine
I don't care
If it rains all the time
I don't care
If you leave me behind
I don't care
If you'll never be mine
I don't care
If the wind doesn't blow
I don't care
If the river doesn't flow
I don't care
How far you go
I don't care
If you never come home
I don't care
Who's climbing the walls
I don't care
If the government falls
I don't care
Whose name you call
I don't care
About you at all

Don't Go Yet
02:24
|
|||
I took too long to make up my mind
You never think you'll run out of time
I had a dream I was running ahead
But I couldn't even get out of bed
Don't go yet
We've hardly even met
I'll forget
But not just yet
It's hanging over both of our heads
You only love me at the end of a text
I'll be happy with the things that I've got
Forget about the things that I've lost
But don't go yet
We've hardly even met
I'll forget
But not just yet

The Worst In Me
02:49
|
|||
I knew a girl when I was young
She lived across the street
When I was bored for a little fun
I’d put drawing pins on her seat
We were all in love with her
She was kind and she was sweet
But she always seemed to see the worst in me
I met a girl in my college years
Filled with hope and filled with grace
When I’d had too many beers
I’d curse her to her face
I was so in love with her
She was all I’d ever need
But she always seemed to see the worst in me
I met a girl and I married her
Settled on settling down
I was too weak to carry her
But I could always put her down
I was so in love with her
But love can be so mean
And she always seemed to see the worst in me
People always telling me
Don't lead a lonely life
When I’m dead you can bury me
Next to someone else’s wife
When I’m at the pearly gates
Heading for eternity
I hope they don’t see the worst in me

Devil Looking Down
02:24
|
|||
So I'm turning back again
I always come right in the end
Tickets burned and bags unpacked
Goodbyes never seem to last
I will stick around
Til the heavens hit the ground
And the devil's looking down
On me
Old lovers carried in your head
Letters underneath your bed
I don't know what's wrong with me
I keep saying things that I don't mean
I will stick around
Til the heavens hit the ground
And the devil's looking down
On me
The empty days and sleepless nights
You must be doing something right
I don't know what I should be
This is all still new to me
Self-respect's not much to lose
Falling in love is my excuse
But what if when you try your best
You're no better than all the rest
I will stick around
Til the heavens hit the ground
And the devil's looking down
On me

Motorway Song
02:46
|
|||
I went and watched the sun go down
The only road that leaves this town
It's nothing but a motorway
Hard shoulders all the way
But I will get it right someday
And even when you call my name
Trying to get the world to change
All my days are rearranged
Underneath they're all the same
But I will get it right someday
Another lesson I can't learn
Trying to get the world to turn
I thought I heard somebody say
It's good to go the wrong way
Well I will get it right someday

Same Mistake
03:12
|
|||
I stole your wings
So I could fly
And told you stories
Of clear blue sky
I left you sleeping
So I could wake
And I went and made
The same mistake
There is no end
That I can see
All my friends
Got bored of me
There's no point giving
What I can't take
I'll just go make
The same mistake
The words that hide
Behind these words
Are hard to find and
They can't be heard
I only realise
What's at stake
After I've made
The same mistake
If I could change
If I could try
I'd keep no secrets
And tell no lies
I'd find those pieces
That I can't break
And I'd never make
The same mistake

Luck of the Draw
02:22
|
|||
I go at red lights
Stop on green
Cut out the women
In the magazines
Set em up
And I knock em down
And I can turn a smile upside down
If there's a party
I don't wanna go
I don't like people
I don't know
Late at night
I get scared
I turn around and there's nobody there
Took out a loan
And I paid my debts
My only currency
Is cigarettes
Who was I
When I was young
Don't tell me: it's on the tip of my tongue
Stayed up all night
Saying the morning prayer
Acted angry
But I didn't care
I can only do
What I did before
And blame it all on the luck of the draw
I'm not your problem anymore
Blame it all on the luck of the draw

The Whole World
02:54
|
|||
I will not change
This is our story
These are our names
The ones we're calling
I'm still that same boy that you loved
The one you thought the whole world of
I did not change
And I'm not the one to blame
You did not go
You just got scattered
This is your home
It doesn't matter
You're still that same girl that I loved
The one I thought the whole world of
You did not change
And you're not the one to blame
Say love is blind
I won't believe it
When I close my eyes
I'm sure I see it
We've got the same hearts as before
We're still the people we once were
We did not change
And we're not the ones to blame

Body in the River
02:32
|
|||
I went and got four beers from the village store
If you were here I'd've got four more
Went for a walk with an old guitar
Over the fields and through the farm
I sat by the river where no children play
Down where the banks all fall away
There's nothing better that I can do
Than sit right here, just waiting on you
Throw my body in the river
Put a stranger in my clothes
Cos I will love you forever
I suppose
I think I'll have another week off work
Go tell the doctor my back still hurts
I can see better when I'm laying low
I'm gonna go where the water goes
Throw my body in the river
Put a stranger in my clothes
Cos I will love you forever
I suppose

Another Page
02:46
|
|||
When you start to show your age
It's time to turn another page
Cos you've still got something left
Still trying to try your best
And I know you're gonna change
But I will always know your name
Even when you're far away
And I know we both got things wrong
It won't matter when we're gone
So for whatever it is worth
I hope you get what you deserve
And no matter how you change
I will always know your name
Even when you're far away
All the places you will go
All the things I'll never know
Other people I will meet
But I will still be incomplete
And no matter how we change
We will always know our names
Even when we're far away

Sober Life
02:51
|
|||
I'll paint a picture
And you can write a song
We'll make a list of all the ways we went wrong
And if you catch me lying
Just know this is true
All I ever wanted was you
I looked for the right words
All I could ever find
Were different ways of saying goodbye
And I remember thinking
As I walked away
I only ever wanted to stay
But I think I did something wrong
I think I left you for far too long
So if you find me sleeping
Shake me awake
I've had as much dreaming as one man take
Always indecisive
But I've changed my mind
I'm leaving all the right things behind
And I think I've done something right
I think I've conquered the sober life
So I'll paint a picture
And you can write a song
We'll make a list of all the ways we went wrong
And if you catch me lying
Just know this is true
All I ever wanted was you

Young Pretenders
02:57
|
|||
Sat by the riverside, skimming stones
I'd never felt so alone
Thinking of the people I used to know
But it's a long way home
I'll write a letter to those young pretenders
Tell em the grass is still green
I'll write a letter to those young pretenders
Will they write a letter to me?
Sat by the riverside, kicking leaves
Wipe that heart off your sleeve
You can take the high road, you know where it leads
It goes far away from me
Go write a letter to those young pretenders
Tell em the sky is still blue
Go write a letter to those young pretenders
Will they write a letter to you?
Sat by the riverside, passing time
I never saw it go by
Look at all the people we left behind
Without even saying goodbye
We'll write a letter to those young pretenders
You know they look so in love
We'll write a letter to those young pretenders
Will they write a letter to us?
