Figure 8

H ANG I NG ON

If you never, If you never If you’d never said anything If you never, If you never

Stripped to the waist We fall into the river Cover your eyes So you don’t know the secret I’ve been trying to hide We held our breath To see our names are written On the wreck of ‘86 That was the year I knew the panic was over

Only you can be the aching in my heart my enemy the only animal I couldn’t find you hold me in the dark when storms arrive Only You Only you can see the emptiness I feel when you’re with me when everything you say I’m on my knees baby I’m on my knees baby I’m on my knees baby I’m on my knees

Breathe your smoke into my lungs Back of the car with you I stare into the sun Still not too old to die young But Iovers hold on to everything But lovers hold on to anything I chase your love around a figure 8 I need you more than I can take You promise forever every day Then you take it all away

You know we can get away Because I’m calling your name Every day I feel this pain But you just turn and walk away

Here it is, in my hands In my veins... and over lands It spreads like fire... seeking air and pulls me in my own funfair won’t you come, won’t you come, won’t you come just don’t say a word won’t you come, won’t you come, won’t you come just don’t say a word I’m more alive, I’ve ever been so now I give you, all my sins I’ve chosen you...I’ve chosen you But don’t say a word And if I save us, and I fall down I will leave your words behind now if you never, held me under.. if you never hear my thunder

Yes since we found out Since we found out That anything could happen Anything could happen After the war we said we’d fight together I guess we thought that’s just what humans do Letting darkness grow As if we need its palette and we need its colour But now I’ve seen it through And now I know the truth

My Blood That feeling that doesn’t go away just did and I walked a thousand miles to prove it and I’m caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts the colour of my blood is all I see on the rocks as you sail from me. Alarms will ring for eternity... the waves will break every chain on me my bones will bleach.. my flesh will flee. So help my lifeless frame to breathe And god knows I’m not dying but I breathe now and god knows It’s the only way to heal now with all the blood I lost with you it drowns the love I thought I knew The lost dreams I buried in my sleep for him and this was the ecstacy of love forgotten and I’m thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets and my blood is all I see as you steal my soul from me.

That anything could happen Anything could happen Baby, I’ll give you everything you need I’ll give you everything you need, oh I’ll give you everything you need But I don’t think I need you Stripped to the waist We fall into the river Cover your eyes So you don’t know the secret I’ve been trying to hide We held our breath To see our names are written On the wreck of ‘86 That was the year I knew the panic was over Yes since we found out Since we found out That anything could happen Anything could happen I know it’s gonna be... But I don’t think I need you.

Alarms will ring for eternity... the waves will break every chain on me My bones will bleach... my flesh will flee... So help my lifeless frame to breathe.

H a ly c o n I know it’s not over, (baby I worked this out for sure) its gonna be colder now you’ve forced open the door I know you better that I ever have before I know you.

Place a kiss on my cheekbone Then you vanish me I’m buried in the snow but something tells me I’m not alone so lovers hold on to everything So lovers hold on to anything I keep runnin’, back to the same place it’s a dangerous equation, but I keep my pace

I just can’t keep hanging on, to you and me I just don’t know what is wrong, with you and me Touch me and then turn away And put your hands into the flame Tell me if you feel this pain Cause I don’t want to be a ball and chain I just can’t keep hanging on, to you and me I just don’t know what is wrong I just can’t keep hanging on, to you and me

J OY I know you’re a fighter but you never fought for me when I was shelter and you’re not heading home to me we could be closer we could be closer we could be. When it’s just us, you show me what it feels like to be lonely you show me what it feels like to be lost I take your hand for you to let it go let it go, let it go, let it go its gonna be its gonna be better its gonna be better We’ll take a long walk, down the alleys of these houses and we’ll talk see what conversation rouses when we’re alone when we’re alone this could be home

E x p l o si o n s Stood in the rain and watched you go I feel a lump in my throat And this is far from joy I never seemed to learn, that high makes things harder that high I get from you I’ve figured out that joy is not in your arms I know I’ll always ache with an empty heart I think it’s time to run cos I’m seeing stars I’m seeing stars, watch me fall apart I think of dying all the time but I’ve got joy to take my side fear is my favourite ride

You trembled like you’d seen a ghost And I cave in I lacked the things you love the most you said Where have you been? I’ve fallen from grace, took a blow to my face I loved and I lost I loved and I lost explosions on the day I gave my heart away it’s my turn to run into the flames And I’ll never be the same. I left my soul bleeding in the dark So you could be king The things that we said are still untold and I’ve forgotten everything the night you were sold your intentions were gold and the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make explosions

I Know You Care

A t l a n t is

Clinging to me, Like a last breath you would breathe You were like home to me I don’t recognise this street

This is new Feels unused I’ve never met anyone like you

Please don’t close your eyes Don’t know where to look without them Outside the cars speed by I’d never heard them until now But I know you care I know that’s it always been there There is trouble ahead I can feel it But I know you’re saving yourself when you hide it I know you care I see in the way that you stare as if there was trouble ahead and you knew it So now I’m just saving myself from a ruin I know you care I used to run down the stairs To the door when I thought you were there Too shaped to the comfort of us Two lovers locked out of love I know it wasn’t always wrong... but I’ve never known a winter so cold now I don’t warm my hands in your coat But I still hope Cos this is how things ought to have been and I know the worst of us was not always what it seemed So why can’t I dream...why can’t I dream? I know you care, I know you care, I know you care, I know you care. I know it’s always been there.

Frightening Feeling naked sense in searching something sacred I’ll forget you not I’ll forget you not I’ll wait for you... for you... maybe I’ll forget you not... I’ll forget you not I’ll forget you not... I’ll wait for you maybe Where did you go? Im exhausted with loving No fight in me- I’m defeated I know I’m fooled, I can’t help it You make my heart so helpless. I’ll forget you not I’ll forget you not I’ll wait for you... for you... maybe I’ll forget you not... I’ll forget you not I’ll forget you not... I’ll wait for you maybe Where did you go?

D e a d i n t h e Wat e r If I was not myself And you were someone else I’d say so much to you and I would tell the truth Cos I can hardly breathe When your hands let go of me But the ice is thinning out and my feet brace themselves I’m dead in the water Still looking for ya I’m dead in the water Can’t you see Can’t you see You’ve seen this all before a life left on the shore but smiling all the same You sail away again I’m dead in the water Still looking for ya I’m dead in the water Can’t you see Can’t you see Why didn’t you find me?
