Something To Chase 03:33
lyrics
buy track
The shine wears off after two or three days/after further conversation and the hopes that it raised/you're just like those before/only flesh and bones connected to words/and I'm hardly phased/ Caught up in our own imaginations and we can't help fascinations/you'll be hoping that we locked ourselves out of the dark and I/went after you tonight/I went after you at midnight/but I'm hardly phased/ Let's take a moment to see if we can push things/there must be more than this empty space/inside my mind/that connects me to something more than dull repetition/I need something to chase/ We never talked about the look that we shared/imaginations work against us in the end/all those moments that we hoped counted/just empty memories/snapshots with the shutter still frozen/ Let's take a chance to see if we can push things/there must be more than this empty space/inside my mind/that connects me to something more than dull repetition/I need something to chase/

Unlove Song 02:27
lyrics
buy track
I'm not gonna tell you how it'd feel to hold you/cos I'm usually pretty cold and/i'm not gonna sing anything about your eyes/and nothing about a sunrise/don't think I'd ever buy you flowers/but I've waited up for hours/just wishing that your were in my arms/while dark surrounds/ I'm not gonna say anything about the light/glinting off your hair/but you know I find it hard to disguise/I really want you here/don't think I'd ever write you a poem/girl you might as well know it/but this feeling I haven't felt before/let alone shown it/

Against The Current 03:26
lyrics
buy track
To make it right we've got to wait until it's over/in this light I'd see the tearstains on her shoulder/come here/there's something I wanna show you/this time tomorrow I'll have told her that it's over/ I've tried to grey it out but it keeps on happening/your face floating in my mind before you've even looked over at me/I wanna tell you that you mean almost everything/when we're sitting by side but I know how bad it could seem/ But I would hold you close/the way it's meant to be/and everyone in this room would see/ Have I told you it's everything/have I told you this every day/
