You took me by surprise You know my friends are wearing disguises on their faces They’re hiding from the lies they made I suppose they’re ashamed Running from themselves Do you feel the pull from the drag behind Turn your back, close your eyes Do you try Down to the bone Your conniving with your way You know you want everything from anyone You’re hiding from the lies you’ve made I suppose you’re ashamed Running from yourself Do you feel the pull from the drag behind Turn your back, close your eyes Do you try Down to the bone So what do you get from what you’ve got You’ve got all this mess, all that cost It’s left you damaged, you’re so damaged Down to the bone

Put your coat on for the winter It won’t be long until I’m home It feels like forever since I’ve seen you But I’m always sentimental when I’m stoned There’s something about the weather that makes you feel lonely It’s only time that says you’re old If you were here baby you’d be happy But there’s comfort in the faces you know Places are somewhere you go These are the thoughts I’ll be chasing When I’m rolling down the road I’ve figured out you don’t need nothing Nothing at all Now I realise baby there’s something that I’m chasing Something that I may never know All these thoughts that need replacing They are the thoughts that will never go Places are somewhere you go These are the thoughts I’ll be chasing When I’m rolling down the road I’ve figured out you don’t need nothing You need nothing at all

Weigh me down my darling Weigh me down Weigh me down my darling Way way down Don’t let me drown All the way down All the way Down, down, down I got a love in the country My burning pot of gold When my body breaks I know a place where I can go, slow Seen my fair share of danger Felt it between my toes I feel the flow that the ancients know They are there Behind my shoulders You can weigh me down my darling Weigh me down Weigh me down my darling Way way down Don’t let me drown All the way down All the way Down, down, down This ain’t for love or for money It’s beyond my control Even though I’m broke There’s nothing that will choke me I’m going down the river You can weigh me down my darling Weigh me down Weigh me down my darling Way way down Don’t let me drown All the way down All the way Down, down, down Drink it down my darling Drink it down Drink it down my darling Way way down I won’t let you drown All the way down All the way All the way All the way Down down down

Alright 03:41
It’s alright, it’s alright You’ve got to let go It’s alright All the doubts in your mind Burry you sometimes And your tendency Is to break free Before the fear grabs hold And you’ve lost control You may not find your dreams But you have found freedom It’s alright, it’s alright You’ve got to let go It’s alright

Set Me Free 02:59
I’m writing this on the hope it gets In the post, on the wind to your ears I’m moving on, it’s been to long Since I’ve heard what you want from your lips I’m not hear to disturb or confuse your life But have you heard The butterfly flutters by and sends your love through the breeze It stirs up the memories The secrets between you and me What you have and what you need Where you are, I believe That you will come back for me Set me free I’ve walked the streets, heard the beggars plead I’ve met a priest and a king, they said There’s a voice up above Whispering words of love Well love, will you tell me when you’ve had enough Healed yourself, run a muck and you want more Baby tell me when your cup is half full or half drunk And you want a top up It’ll stir up the memories The secrets between you and me What you have and what you need Where you are, I believe That you, you’ll come back for me Set me free Spread my wings But life is full of lies You know what, you were right I believe in what you said Don’t live with regrets So I make the most of what I have I can tell you that It’ll stir up the memories The secrets between you and me What you have and what you need Where you are, I believe That you, you’ll come back for me

Try To Be 03:36
I’m waiting on tomorrow Waiting on you to let go You’re somewhere in the shadows Looking out Your ears to the ground No one likes to say goodbye baby It’s not a lack of love just connection We tried to find a way so we didn’t have to say Goodbye I’m waiting on some time to be swallowed I’m waiting on you to call I’ll give you back everything that I borrowed By your heart You never gave that at all No one likes to say goodbye baby It’s not a lack of love just connection We tried to find a way so we didn’t have to say Goodbye You came around Saw the light Not before it was too late Don’t try to be someone for me
7.
I think about you in the future I think about you and what we’ve been I seem to know you now better But all my friends think that I should be Giving you up Moving on But I’m holding out I’m in the middle of giving you up baby That ship we sail can’t seem to find a safe harbour The wind keeps blowing us back out to sea I’m sure we’ll soon find calm waters But all my friends think that I should be Giving you up Moving on But I’m holding out I’m in the middle of giving you up baby In the middle

So Long 03:39
Put it in a bottle and set it free Put it in a pile of memories Hold on for broke, let go and choke Hoping and waiting Sink another bottle and be what be Pick another lover and get a piece Look in the face of loneliness Say goodbye You made another vow, heart on the sleeve Never let go to be easy Sit on this throne with words of wisdom Wasted time So long Say goodbye We’ll hit the trade winds with open sails Listen to the beat of the folk tale It’s a dollar for a song, hold on Say goodbye So long Say goodbye
9.
By Your Way 03:58
Off into the night with the city lights behind you The taste on your tongue, it reminds you Of what you’ve always wanted You can feel it coming by your way You’ll take a punt on anybody willing You’re on the hunt, out to make a killing You don’t have the patience or the makings To pave your way The question is What have you got to give What will you find when your waiting Waiting for the best to come By your way You can have it all and the cherry on top Not for the glory, it’s for the taste on your tongue Once you’ve tasted it you’ll be chasing it All the way The question is What have you got to give What will you find when your waiting Waiting for the best to come By your way You told me once that it’s all for the best Maybe at the time I wasn’t listening Well now I’m questioning every step I’m taking And I’m on my way The question is What have you got to give What will you find when your waiting Waiting for the best to come By your way
