Like Mercury

I've been chasing circles round somewhere inside
Trying to put places to the faces I find
If I keep my eyes so tightly closed in the bloody black
I can see your ghost and I can bring you back

I forget more faces than I'll ever know
My memory replaces them in the overflow
But remembering your gentle voice as it calls to me
You roll through all the endless noise like mercury

I've been feeling lost inside since we're apart
But I know what's been on your mind - and what's in your heart
If I keep my eyes so tightly closed in the bloody black
I can see your ghost and I can bring you back

I've been chasing circles round somewhere inside
Trying to put places to the faces I find
Remembering your gentle voice as it calls to me
The world is flat, the stars are falling to the sea

Capsized

Another monday opens up and blinking I am born again
Another weekend put to bed, of drinking and of hurricane
I don't believe today's the same as any other day that came
And woke us from our heady sleep to throw us screaming in the street

But you and I
Capsized in tides of blankets again tonight
You and I, capsized

The first sunlight of the year is falling through the window now
And all our dreams just disappear, but who believed them anyhow?
And is it such a waste to stay inside and never taste the day
When everything I love's so near and I can feel the sunshine here?

You and I
Capsized in tides of blankets again tonight
You and I, capsized

You are by my side and I lie broken like a battleship
And everytime I break the tide, it's sweetened by your fingertips
If everything I love's so near and sleeping softly by me
Then I can feel the sunshine here, for it will always find me

You and I
Capsized in tides of blankets again tonight
You and I, capsized

Mountain Song

I'm going back to the mountain
Where you and I first met
It's snowing and the wind is blowing
And my hands are frozen
And the road is wet

It takes me back to when I used to be
The one with everything ahead of me
Now I'm not lonely anymore

'Cause I'm going back to the mountain
Where you and I were one
I'm an old man and the frostbite's deadly
But I've got my memories
to keep me warm

It takes me back to when I used to see
The world the way I wanted it to be
Now it's not for me anymore

Big dumb love song

I've got a few friends left
I can do without one less
And I know I'm mad at you
But I'll take you back
If you can say you don't know Jack
And that he don't know you too

'Cause you've got to be with me
And I've got to be with you
'Cause there's nothing else that we can do

Well I'm a desperate guy
And I can turn a blind eye
And forget what I just saw
You make me feel so small
But I can't afford to lose it all
It'll be just like before

'Cause you've got to be with me
And I've got to be with you
'Cause there's nothing else that we can do

This is the year

You haven't been around in a while
And it seems like years
Since I last saw your smile
I know I'm the one who's been acting strange
But this is the year for things to change

I haven't been around like I said I would
Now it's hard to prove
my intentions are good
I know I'm the one who's been acting strange
But this is the year for things to change

I know I'm the one who's been acting strange
But there's still time for things to change
