You Know I Know 04:36
lyrics

You Know I Know Baby think i’m crazy without you Darlin’ I let you down through and through When the night time comes and the colours disappear What can I do? When my day is done thats when I have to face the fear My heart goes out to you You know and I know i’m miles and miles away The future is a dream and I live for yesterday I’m falling in slow motion And I can’t find the words that I should say Never have I ever cried tears alone Feel i’m spinning out of control on my own When the darkness falls and my ghosts come alive What can I do? Tell me what do I have to do to survive And go on living without you CHORUS Sometimes I don’t understand the things I feel for her What can I do? I feel my fingers slip and everything’s a blur I’ve got to talk to you CHORUS You know I know, you know I know

Find Love 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Find Love There was a friend of mine once upon a time Took a step across that line never to return It was the longest night And nothing seemed to fit right But he had hope in sight And a willingness to learn And there's a place in your heart Just waiting for the moment That someone steps into the part When you find love you've got to hold love Close to your heart don't let it slip away And when you find love if it's real love You can feel love it's more than you can say I'm only trying to reach you Trying to get these feelings through But it takes so long to attain that state of mind And with a little contact There's no more turning back When opposites attract It's a force you can't define But there's a place in your life When everything and nothing Merge to make it right CHORUS There's a road somewhere To take me home And i'm looking for a sign from you So i don't have to go alone And there's a place in your heart CHORUS

Breathing Slowly 04:30
lyrics

Breathing Slowly We can descend or we can fly drifting through these dark skies there's a million things running through my mind don’t say a word don’t ask me why why I’m breathing slowly time is deceiving love is only in the silence you can feel love in my heart there is no sound tonight no no no no you say I catch my breath each time those words cut right through me I die a thousand deaths still I find comfort in this pain I really must confess so I’m breathing slowly time is deceiving love is only in the silence you can feel love in my heart there is no sound tonight we lost our way I lost my heart in my world it rains we fall apart behind your eyes no one lives there anymore I sympathise I do but when you leave just close the door rain rain rain wash over me sometimes I look right through you and sometimes I can’t see sometimes all I know is how it’s meant to be CHORUS

Break My Heart 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Break My Heart You say we should love each other Time will only tell if we can take another round Do you think we have a future Running round in circles both living underground And I know just what it takes If you understand mistakes It’s up to you Do you really want to break my heart? Do you really want to bring me down again? Do you really want to break my heart? Do you really want to say the things you say you say you say? I don’t want to change the future To cover up the past And live in hope that things might last and One day love is going to find you To tempt you and remind you That life is just anticipating And I know just what it takes If you understand mistakes It’s up to you CHORUS And all the time that I spend missing you Can only help to make it harder to Accept and take the blame But it can never be the same And I know just what it takes If you understand mistakes It’s up to you CHORUS

Walk On The Wire no one told me it could be so bad no one told me men were made of stone without you I’d throw it away this world’s not perfect I’m the first to admit we got to get right to the heart of it hey baby what do you say somebody’s got to find a way to bend the rules to tear it all down somebody’s got to find a way to take that chance and walk on the wire walk on the wire pockets are empty and it’s freezing outside those restless souls they got nowhere to hide they just keep on running running away deep in the midnight I feel safe in your arms floating sleeping immersed in this calm take me away chorus and my mind keeps twisting and turning around that’s when love comes falling you can hear the whisper the soul and the sound of somebody somebody of somebody somebody chorus

Lately 03:38
lyrics

Lately I can still see your light on are you thinking of her again did you ever really think it would take this long to find the truth and then transcend and last night I saw you staring with that look upon your face what can I think anymore when i see your world disappear without a trace and everything underneath and in between will just crash down on me and love’s not what it seems anymore lately the sun don’t shine the rain don’t fall there's nothing left at all without your love late last night you looked so confused like you’d never been so alone trying to live with the guilt at the end of love when your house just ain’t a home lately there’s always more to believe when you hide from the truth for years and for someone like you who wears a heart on your sleeve it’s time to reassess those fears and everything underneath and in between will just crash down on me and love’s not what it seems anymore CHORUS and everything underneath and in between will just crash down on me and every time I get a little bit further away it just helps me to see that love’s not what it seems anymore CHORUS

Dangerous Game 03:08

Dangerous Game Questions asked I answer but you don’t believe why can’t I just drop it walk away and leave while you’re lost in schemes inside your head you never realise anything I‘ve said I need a sign or some kind of reprieve so why am I falling at your feet sending you messages complete but all the confusion that you meet just takes you further from me You say love is a dangerous game it’s killing me and you’re to blame ‘cause every time I call your name you turn and walk away now I’m writing the letters to you that I won’t send sometimes I close my eyes and wish I could pretend with my cautious steps and well laid plans I drop my heart right into your hands can it be so hard to make you understand I’m taking my problems underground i’m checking in daily lost and found maybe I should just leave I won’t hang around if you’d just let me know and CHORUS and maybe I might not be the answer to your dreams but things aren’t always what they seem if you would only let me through how can I get across to you CHORUS

A World Away 04:10
lyrics
buy track
A World Away as we walk along the road of life and love there’s so much push and shove to get around show me all the places you go in your mind somewhere we can find some light and sound waking up inside the brand new morning always listen to the warning coming through the air night time comes in a peculiar fashion mixed emotion but no passion takes me nowhere takes me nowhere just a world away dream in colour while I’m sleeping just a world away tomorrow seems like half a world away a world away sometimes I feel disconnected from the world outside cause it’s a lonely ride on your own and all the secrets I’ve been keeping while humanity is sleeping just blow me away waking up inside the brand new morning always listen to the warning coming through the air CHORUS and all the secrets I’ve been keeping while humanity is sleeping just blow me away night time comes in a peculiar fashion mixed emotion but no passion takes me nowhere takes me nowhere CHORUS

The Cat's Mother She said you don’t understand anymore she is the cat’s mother she could be anyone She put the do not disturb on the door locked me outside I dissolved through the floor And the walls closed in and decisions were made I was spinning in love in love She said that we just don’t see eye to eye she said you don’t see anything that you don’t want to see Now I’m just trying to live out the lies that I read in some book in some past life of mine CHORUS She says a lot of things she doesn’t mean that hurt me desert me again And the walls closed in and decisions were made I was spinning in love in love…

Trick Of The Light 02:51

Trick Of The Light A trick of the light my mind plays havoc with my senses fifteen times a night You flee or you fight in uncontrollable circumstances get to the point of feeling alright You say it’s gonna be fine You say I want you for mine but nothing, nothing is alright Just a nightmare or three you know it’s nothing I can’t handle when all my days turn strange CHORUS And when I look I can’t see The things I fear still haunt me Always, always the same A trick of the light My mind plays havoc with my senses You say it’s gonna be fine You say I want you for mine but nothing, nothing is alright and you say its gonna be fine

Somebody Told Me 03:47
lyrics

Somebody Told Me so now you don’t know me somebody told me still I just can’t quite believe it some things have to happen things born out of passion I wish that they’d all just leave it alone And all the dreams you smash Can’t be mended Now you’ve met your match There’s no pretending alone How long must I wait Till I see you again Please give me a break I can change I can bend And I can’t believe you don’t know me Still it must be true somebody told me All this endless travel See the truth unravel But I think that you’d rather fiction It’s less intimidating And you can get your hate in Or is it that you can’t admit that you’re wrong And all the time you waste Can’t be saved up And all your changing tastes Are only made up and now CHORUS I lost my way somewhere last night I cannot see the darkness for the light My heart just stopped and so it goes Goes on and on And all the time you waste Can’t be saved up And all your changing tastes Are only made up and now CHORUS

A Sense Of Shelter 04:31
lyrics
buy track
A Sense Of Shelter There's an overcast sky and a rising tide And it crosses our hearts like some great divide Follow your instincts down to the sea Water cold and clear as night Casting the nets underneath to the silence out of sight For ten thousand years we've been watching it smoulder Like some phoenix preparing to rise Through the heat and the dust Into black then to grey To the secrets that lie in other mens eyes A reason, a sense of shelter A habit to dull all the pain But memory and time will outlast us all These are the things that remain When that cold winter comes and love breaks your heart We can put up those walls or risk being torn apart Try to ignore those waves inside That feel so wrong but you know are right Blind to reason and blind to love At the mercy of the night For ten thousand years we've been watching it smoulder Like some phoenix preparing to rise Into days and then nights Through the cold then to older Discovering there is so much more A reason, a sense of shelter A habit to dull all the pain But memory and time will outlast us all These are the things that remain Time after time We still disregard The feelings that spark and ignite you And day after day We live in the dark And wait for someone to untie you A reason, a sense of shelter A habit to dull all the pain But memory and time will outlast us all These are the things that remain

The Long Goodbye 03:51

The Long Goodbye Walking through the strangeness of your life Looking out for something to call home Lost among the ruins of your world Still you’ll survive You might take the long road that’s alright It might lead to nothing who knows But it just might go somewhere that is why We follow our hearts Still this guilt has a hold on me But its all for the best you’ll see And it’s just one more long goodbye That burns into my memory And it’s not that I didn’t try It’s just I didn’t try hard enough you see You can criticise me like you do It only reminds me to hang on Patience is a virtue so they say We’ll just see And then love breaks your heart sometimes And all the things that are left behind CHORUS Everything just turns to dust Love and life and all that trust And you can just forget about us And all the things you wanted Time will tell but it won’t last You can’t reinvent the past Even though you think you can And then love breaks your heart sometimes CHORUS

Entangled - Bonus Track 03:56
lyrics

Entangled When you’re wrapped inside the darkness in the centre of the storm and we’re dancing with those demons and the night will keep us warm but the night is full of sadness and the streets they hide in shame still you walk the hours till morning looking for someone to blame I’m entangled and I’m caught up in your dreams and I’m drawn into your fire With the city wrapped in stories and the rich are wrapped in gold and I want to be wrapped in your arms you can keep me from the cold In the quiet hours of morning in the harbour of the dawn and I’m floating and I’m falling I’m the calm and I’m the storm CHORUS I fall into you like a moth to a flame caught up in your web I’m never be the same and we scream and we cry and we run and hide and we try not to show all the aching inside sometimes it just makes no sense I just can’t understand CHORUS

Willingness Of The Heart - Bonus Track 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Willingness Of The Heart You could lose your way Nobody is safe All good things are sacred But nothing comes for free History is clear All the signs are here But what else can you do When temptation is your logic But still we go on And rise above these things On and on Putting faith before everything Going through the changes that life just rearranges Light and empty spaces that make you stand apart And I’ve been waiting standing in a doorway Life is coming your way depending on the willingness of the heart There’s nothing more to do Message coming through Bleeding into colour Seems everything you know is wrong Mystery takes hold Like rust becoming gold Your future will unfold When the landslide comes So why do we go on And struggle with these things On and on Knowing faith is everything CHORUS And I know some things are too hard to define for the reasons you just can’t explain cause and effect by your own hands but not by design leaves you nowhere to place the blame but everything leads to now and life opens up somehow somewhere CHORUS

Love Is Around I took a ride on my love for you from the inside sometimes I just don’t know just which way that I should go or should I stand here waiting for you take a look inside my heart sometimes I fall apart be brave and make a start cause I won’t let you down won’t let you down now that love is around if you could only see this life with me yeah you know it’s true that I do know every rule and how to break them why can’t you try to look behind the man and see the child that lives in my eyes take a look inside my heart sometimes I fall apart be brave and make a start I won’t let you down won’t let you down now that love is around if you could only see this life with me days and nights go spinning around it’s playing on my mind one day you could look and see all the things you’re hoping to find I won’t let you down won’t let you down now that love is around if you could only see this life with me I won’t let you down oh no won’t let you down no no

When One And One Is Three you and me sit side by side empty but both filled with pride its all the same night time comes and goes again we play the game and pretend that nothing’s changed the afternoon melts away the end of another day of endless phone calls coming through I screen them all because of you yeah you got me now and then I don’t know what to say I stop and start day after day but still somehow I hear your voice fade away reminds me of the price we pay the scent of roses in my head the taste of love is in my bed a moving picture down on the wall the sound of no one down the hall what does it mean to me when one and one is three the things we seem to do and say can only blow my world away there’s no return walking over fields of youth something you said about the truth maybe we can learn dissolve to another scene in black and white we can dream the scent of roses in my head the taste of love is in my bed a moving picture down on the wall the sound of no one down the hall what does it mean to me when one and one is three what can we do about it we scream and twist and shout it now the scent of roses in my head the taste of love is in my bed a moving picture down on the wall the sound of no one down the hall what does it mean to me when one and one is three

Sunday You’re giving it all away Giving it all away Another fabulous morning as the week sets in Chaos without warning could be guilty as sin Of indecision do I go out or stay in Looking up looking down nearly every street Set a time and a place where we can meet Some neutral cafe and you can be discreet But you’re giving it all away You’re giving it all away Sunday far away from the blue and the grey Step inside with your dreams today Cheap suspicion and submission in the neighbourhood Keep well enough away and just do what you should There are so many things that just do you no good And you’re giving it all away Giving it all away Sunday far away from the blue and the grey Step inside with your dreams today Beauty on a backstreet and the band starts to play We’re looking forward to another Sunday Takes me back in time When you were mine all mine And everything was fine Sunday you’ve been on my mind Looking forward to tomorrow We could talk for hours About nothing in particular Looking forward to tomorrow Just another Sunday Maybe one day...one day Sunday far away from the blue and the grey Step inside with your dreams today Beauty on a backstreet and the band starts to play We’re looking forward to another Sunday Sunday far away from the blue and the grey Step inside with your dreams today Beauty on a backstreet and the band starts to play We’re looking forward to another Sunday Still you’re giving it all away
