1.Guns And Horses
You're so quiet
But it doesn't phase me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy
And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
by every fire is a lesson learned
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
Lets type words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit permanently
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
It's time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
2.Starry Eyed
Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning
Handle bars, and then I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out my heart and get a new one
Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ahhh
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh
So we burst into colors, colors and carousels,
Fall head first like paper planes in playground games
Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ahhhh
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Hit me with lightning
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
whoa oh oh ah ah
whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh
3.This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)
Who are we to be emotional?
Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?
Oh, who are we to turn eachother's heads?
Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?
Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire and I'm trying to cry for help
Oh, I don't think you own me much at all
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
I'm feeling down about this love
Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?
Oh, I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
We're falling on each other like we're always in the dark
Oh, I don't think you know me much at all, at all
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
(At all)
This love is not what you want
This heart will never be yours
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
4.Under The Sheets
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
You left your blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door,
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before (boys boys
boys boys)
This is our luck, baby, running out
Her clothes were never off
We still have our lives to run about
To scale the mountain, scale the mountain, to get us back on
track
I've seen you in a fight you lost,
I've seen you in a fii-ii-ii-ii-ght
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your word's all over me
We're under the sheets and youre killin meee
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
In here the world won't bring us down
Our plan is golden
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here were frozen
Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer I should know
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,)
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your word's all over me
We're under the sheets and youre killin meee
We're in a mess baby, we're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh)
We're in a mess baby, we're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh!)
We're under the sheets and you're killin me
In our house made of paper, and you're word's all over me
We're under the sheets and your killin' me
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
We're under the sheets and your killing me
Our house full of paper and you're word's all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
We're under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your word's all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' meee
Killin me, killin me, killin me
5.The Writer
You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
You're changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it
You're wearing thin
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs
This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
Decide the words I say?
Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
6.Every Time You Go
It starts with a picture
And it sits in your frame
And we part with a letter
And it ends in my name
It starts with forever
And it ends with a touch
And I know that you're clever
And I don't ask for much
Maybe we forgot all the things were when are together
You said I'm arresting
You said I had heat
I really tohught that we would go further
The second time we'd meet
Now I'm tired of trying to keep you
All I want to do is sleep
But perhaps when I'm sleeping
You'll get back on your feet
Maybe we forgot all the things we were when we were together
Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Everytime you go
Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm my weakest
Then it's not so hard
Every time you go
Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Everytime you go
Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm my weakest
Then it's not so hard
Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not?
Maybe we forgot
Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Everytime you go
Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm my weakest
Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Everytime you go
Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm my weakest
Then it's not so hard
Everytime you go
7.Wish I Stayed
Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on
When when men look outside, do they see houses
Instead of the fields they grew from
We are Constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and
fearful
Can you get up right now, endeavor to freefall (Off)
You can fall if you want to, It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
and it has been found wondering around
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
Patterns all aranged in my background
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form
Letters were all sent with no addresses
So that people can't discover
Always undercover
Why do i always draw triangles
Instead of words this paper so deserves
You see
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find.
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
cos you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
and it has been found wondering around
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

8.Your Biggest Mistake
Take cover
Signs don't show
You drove me off the road
But you let go
'Cause your hope is gone
And every question fades away
It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?
You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
You know this is your biggest mistake
You tread water
Fighting for the air in your lungs
Move, move closer
Maybe you can right all your wrongs
But you let go
'Cause your hope is gone
And every answer fades away
It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?
You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake
Wipe the mud spray from the face
Stop the engine
Stop pretending
Wipe the mud spray from your face
Stop the engine
Yeah, stop pretending that you're still breathing
It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?
You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake
You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake
9.I'll Hold My Breath
Breathe air you're not used to,
tread floors you don't fall through
Make waves...
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
Shed lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me,
wait for me as long as it takes!
And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath
Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Thsoe fears we'll blow them all way
Fight fires in your best clothes,
touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder...
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young,
that we're still too young and I'll my tongue
Until you see me in your dreams
WE'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Thsoe fears we'll blow them all way
I'm here, I'm here to save you
No fall, I will swim to save you
Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all way
10.Salt Skin
You're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
That is no way to live that is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in
Stabbed in the back but you i feel no paid
Push the heaviest doors that you can't open
Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still, again
You're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
I don't know when you'll break but it's going be soon
If my will caves in. I'll be in the same boat as you
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's steealing salt skin
Telling me I'm wiinning wars they created
just under the ..'the meaning of'
Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that i've not spoken
And I won't tell the turth unless you want me to
For all of the times that I lot my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it come back I didn't know why own name
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand
