Turning Down Water For Air    
     

You Always Do

We shared our love with you
All the while we never knew
What you do

You build them up so high
And knock them from their little stools
You always do
You always do

So I stayed up all night
And read you books with fond delight
With fond delight
With fond delight

Marion lift up your head
Won’t you stay with me tonight?
Won’t you stay with me my love?
won’t you stay?
Won’t you stay?

   
     

Left Handed Girl

I can’t think
Of a descent reason
Why I am here

If this is life
For the taking
I’ll take
And give it to you

If this is life
For the making
I’ll make
And give it to you

Cos I’m your right handed man
And you’re my left handed girl

I can’t think
Of a descent reason
Why I am here

Cos I’m your right handed man
And you’re my left handed girl

   
     

No Pins Allowed

Here we find him
Choking away his life
There’s no pride in
Being a young girls wife

If that’s the way you broke him down
Broke him down
Down
Skin so thin no pins allowed
Pins allowed
Around

Sharks that bite
Struggle and fight
Seem more likely to
Come around tonight
No pins allowed, Pins allowed

Here we find her
Heart attack in hand with her head in the sand
Chasing spiders
All through the night

If that’s the way you broke her down
Broke her down
Down
Skin so thin no pins allowed
Pins allowed
Around

Sharks that bite
Struggle and fight
Seem more likely to
Come around tonight
No pins allowed, Pins allowed

   
     

This Sweet Love

Be, the greatest man in history
The greatest man that you can be
Just be

Walk, walk out on the beach with me
Walk out in the sea with me
Just be

All of the time you show me your love
Sweet love
And oh, how you know
This sweet love

Nights, cold nights wrapped in ecstasy
Those times still perplexing be
They just be

All of the time you show me your love
Sweet love
And oh how you know
This sweet love

   
     

Head Over Heels

Don’t show them off
Don’t give them heroes welcome
They’ll disappoint
They don’t know what they’re missing
I can see you’re head over heels for me

I need your love
I need you in the morning
To make me tea
To kiss me when I’m yawning
I can see you’re head over heels for me
I can see you’re head over heels for me


I can see you’re head over heels for me
I can see you’re head over heels for me

   
     

The Ghost

When will I see my children lying in my arms
And hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms

Go wait at the window,
Don’t leave it until,
You see better days that are coming
You just have to wait (x2)

When will I see my children lying in my arms
I hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost

When will I tell you what is on my mind
Of how to love me and how I can be defined

When will I tell you what is on my mind
Of how to love me and how I can be defined
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost

   
     

No Surprise

If you need me, I will run to you
And if you call me, out of the blue
I will run to catch you as you fall on me

And it’s no surprise that you’ll soon forget about me

So slow it down
And take it easy

If you want me, I will be right here
And if you love me, you will notice me here

And it’s no surprise that your eyes are crying my name
And it’s no surprise that my eyes are seeing the same

So slow it down
And take it easy

   
     

Over The Hills

I like the snow when it falls in winter
You rub it in my face
Here we are
Here is the house where they grew up laughing
Our children love us dearly
There they are

Over the hills
We’ll find a place to live
Where we can run around
Over the hills

   
     

How Could I Lose

I can hear my heart beating
In my head as I close my eyes at night
Empty sounds on my pillow
Empty words that repeat throughout the night

How could I lose
This has to be the best thing I could choose
How could I lose
To you

The rain falls hard on my window
I can feel the pain receeding now
Close my eyes and I’m with you
Keep them shut till you see those floating stars

How could I lose
This has to be the best thing I could choose
How could I lose
To you

I have strength when I’m with you
I have strength but my arms can’t hold you up
From the water when I’m drowning
Like they said I would always drag you down

How could I lose
This has to be the best thing I could choose
How could I lose
To you

 

She Said In Jest

On the way
From my house
To your house
It goes wrong

And things just start to move faster
I just can’t seem to slow them down
I only want to make you feel this

The waters overhead
Are closing in on us now
I can’t seem to catch my breath
Just drink yourself dead, she said in jest

On the way
From my life
To the grave
I thought

I just can’t seem to make it happen
The music lifts me when I’m down
It heals the wounds that bleed inside me

The waters overhead
Are closing in on us now
I can’t seem to catch my breath
Just drink yourself dead, she said in jest

 

Breathing In

I wanna save myself from you
You’re going under and you’re taking me too

I’m starting to disappear

You’ve gotta let go of my hand
You’ve got it coming and you don’t understand

I’m starting to disappear
So I’m making time for air

I’m breathing in (x 4)

We’re all wondering
Where did you go down by the sea?
We’re all waiting
For you to come back dry and free

I’m starting to disappear
So I’m making time for air

I’m breathing in (x 4)

 

Somehow

Whenever I’m down
You’re always around me
You sit on my shoulder
And point out where I went wrong

Whenever I cry
You’re always close by me
And I try to hide it but you find me

I know you want me to hurt myself
I know you want me to hurt myself
Somehow, somehow

Whenever I’m lost
You’re there with cross
To see how long it takes
For me to go and pray

I know you want me to hurt myself
I know you want me to hurt myself
Somehow, somehow

Go out and find me
And Get off my back (x 3)

Whenever I’m down
You’re always around me
You sit on my shoulder
And point out where I went wrong

I know you want me to hurt myself
I know you want me to hurt myself
Somehow, somehow

 
This Sweet Love (Single B side)
 

They're Chasing My Hands

There is a man I used to know
Rarely do I see him
Rarely does he comfort me now
Whenever I was down he would watch over me, over me
The love he gave me is all I need
The love he gave me is all I need

There was a boy I used to know
Who cried for the weekend or for Valentines
Whenever he was down I would watch over him, over him
The tears he gave me was all I want
The tears he gave me was all I want

They’re chasing my hands
They’re chasing my feet
They’re chasing my hands
They’re chasing my hands

There is a girl I used to see
Mainly on the weekends or when I was free
If ever I would take time she would look down on me, down on me
The space she gave me was all I need
The space she gave me was all I need

They’re chasing my hands
They’re chasing my feet
They’re chasing my hands
They’re chasing my hands

The Guilty Lovers Road

Lost in my imagination
Things don’t turn out quite the way they should
When I’m there they always seem to haunt me
When I’m not, they miss me

There’s something on my mind
Cos bailey told me so, he told me
There’s ways to be unkind
And ways to make amends for things that we have not seen yet

The guilty lover’s road

Giving in to my addictions
Losing like I’ve never lost before
I know I’m old but should I really want to
I know I’m old but here we go

There’s something on my mind
Cos movies tell me so, they tell me
There’s ways to be unkind
And ways to make amends for things that we have not seen yet

The guilty lover’s road

There’s something on my mind
Cos movies tell me so, they tell me
There’s ways to be unkind
And ways to make amends for things that we have not seen yet

The guilty lover’s road
The guilty lover’s road
