you're the distance of a decade, they can't bring you down
you're eyes are so much more, than just a delicate brown
it's funny how things change in just the space of a day
you've got so much to say in such a beautiful way
noone knows what theyre doing its a great place to start
just don't keep your guns in the back of your heart
and don't ever doubt that you're a work of art, i would know
there's colour and there's sadness in the things that you've seen
it's really something special to land on your feet
you're a dear, you're a season, you're a boat, you're a bird
you're too much for a song and i'm all out of words
chorus
you could never live inside your castle of paperbacks

Better

staring at my phone
waiting for you to text
the trouble is my lover,
i don't think we've met
i think i need to spend
a little time on my brain
it's odd we feel alone surrounded
by people who feel the same
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to be better
'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better
cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss
i'm much too much of a mess
to put you at ease
i'd like to feel again but i'm
afraid of things like these
and all i've got's burned fingers
and a crick in my back
I'm hoping you'll forget about
the qualities i lack
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to be better
'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better
cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss
Almost missed my train, won't you hold the door,
would you miss my name, if I left the floor,
thought I would be better, than this, than before
I thought I would be better, equipped by 24
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss

His Thermos Song

he says he's watching time tick on
he says he's waiting to belong
i hope that he stays strong
i said you deserve more than that,
you deserve a kind heart and a flat
still sea
he said i know but so did she
he says he's sitting on the sidelines
waiting on the good times
i hope the weather's fine
chorus
he's got his thermos full of tea
and days of possibility
i hope the trains aren't running late

Felt Something - Live

just like me
she’s anticipating lines in her forehead
hoping that age brings on ease
cold bare feet
she's walking fresh grass over the bed
some kind of do as you please
and i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
sweet and spice
wove into my clothes in her sleep
nothing a bottle could hold
don't think twice
i took away nothing to keep
left her the secrets i told
chorus
I wish that i knew the words,
that she said
when she was knocking at the door
but only the night heard
what she said
when she was knocking at the door
not quite wild
she's thistle and mist in the morning
she's something I dont understand
like a child
pretending i know what i'm doing
I’m scared of a comforting hand
and i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
