1.I'll Never Let Go
It seems the day that your house burned to the ground
Was the day that you'd always planned to leave anyway
And the vast empire you come through to get here
Makes the world look like pennies in my hand
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
Your words shook me right out of a daydream
I was lost somewhere cold and it looked haunted
I was asking strangers but no one understood me
I was drenched in sweat when your words came to me
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
It was the last highway you would ever travel
The long road from a daughter, wife and son
When the bus stopped a beat from California
Your tired feet they ached over the road
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you said out loud
I'll never let go
I'll never let go you shouted out
2.Called Out In the Dark
It's like we just can't help ourselves
'Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out into the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well, we do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
I was called out in the dark
by a choir of beautiful heat
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different side
This magic, this drunken semaphore
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
3.The Weight Of Love
Your engine threatens
I can hear it from the garden
I can see it coming
I can see it come for miles
What you're thinking right now？
'cause I think that I can guess
If we set off now
We'll have the highway to ourselves
And you love the little signs of life
You love it when we lose our minds
You love these little wars of words,
You love it when they call your name, your name
A new empire beckons, a new kingdom in the distance
No gods are present,
just the sky, the earth, and us
No wings, no halos,
nor the thunder in the footsteps
Cause fear and anger,
They are a law unto themselves
And you love the little signs of life
You love it when we lose our minds
You love these little wars of words
You love it when they call your name
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
It's just like you told me,
that I should learn to let it all go
It just took 'til now,
for me to get just what you meant
My heart is thumping,
I can feel it in my fingers
No fear, no anger,
we are a law unto ourselves
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love in your arms
It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms
4.This Isn't Everything You Are
You can't find the phone
So you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can walk away anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go
Is he worth all this
Is it a simple yes
Cause if you have to think
It's f＊cked
Feels like you loved him more
Than he loved you
And you wish you'd never met
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
You've been up all night
And the night before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
And in one little moment
It all implodes
But this isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right
I know there is
This isn't everything you are
When you took the call
How could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
And you wish you'd went home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
And in one little moment
It all implodes
But this isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right
I know there is
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are...
5.The Garden Rules
There's the river, there's your house
and there's the church
And there's us years ago
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes, we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
It's what you always said
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
You would call the garden rules, out like commands
And we would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
And puncture the pretend
And we would chase our tails
Until the sun forgot to shine
And our parents called our names
Till just you and I were left
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
From your house we walk the river
To the church by the silent fields
Amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you
As he's looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss
On my quickly heating cheek
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
Oh, you will never know how much I love you so
Oh, you will never know how much I love you
6.Fallen Empires
You called my name in the dark
Called me back to the start
The condensation is building tension
A stubborn silence is formed
Around our bodies, it's warm
The cool wet grasses as summer passes
Frightened under attack
Fallen flat on my back
Arms and legs, I'm too scared to beg
You haunt me most when it's light
The thought of you don't sit right
I need the darkness, a death grip embrace
Raising cities to dust
Faces dripping in lust
Fallen empires and raging bush fires
All your words confounded
Secret lives bound and hid
Living backwards in tangled back woods
You ruined everything right
So good I can't see the light
From my cave I can see the wave
Fallen empires and raging bushfires
Ooooh
We are the light...
We are the light...(Run to the fire)
7.Life-ning
A hand upon my forehead
The joke and then the laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own
Ireland in the World Cup
Either North or South
The fanclub on the jukebox
The birds and yes the bees
Words of reassurance
But only if they're true
Just some simple kindness
No vengeance from the gods
To share what I've been given
Some kids eventually
And be for them what I've had
A father like my dad
8.New York
If you were here beside me
instead of in New York
if the curve of you was curved on me
I'd tell you that I loved you
before I even knew you
cause I loved the simple thought of you.
If our hearts are never broken
then there's no joy in the mending
there's so much this hurt can teach us both.
Though there's distance and there's silence
your words have never left me
they're the prayer that I say every day.
Come on, come out, come here, come here (4x)
The long neon nights
and the eek of the ocean
and the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
and the lack of it snaps me in two
If you were here beside me
instead of in New York
in the arms you said you'd never leave
I'd tell you that it's simple
and it was only ever thus
there is nowhere else that I belong.
Come on, come out, come here, come here (x4)
The long neon nights
and the eek of the ocean
and the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
and the lack of it snaps me in two
Just give me a sign
there's an end with a beginning
to the quiet chaos driving me mad.
The long neon nights
and the want of the ocean
and the fire that is starting to go out.
9.In The End
It's the price I guess
For the lies I've told
That the truth it no longer thrills me
And why can't we laugh？
When it's all we have
Have we put these childish things away？
Have we lost the magic that we once had？
In the end, in the end
There's nothing more to life than love, is there？
In the end, in the end
It's time for us to lose our weary minds
Will you dance with me？
Like we used to dance
And remember how to move together
You are the torch
And it all makes sense
I've waited here for you forever
I've waited here for you forever
In the end, in the end
There's nothing more to life than love, is there？
In the end, in the end
It's time for us to lose our weary minds
We're lost 'til we learn how to ask
We're lost 'til we learn how to ask
We're lost 'til we learn how to ask
So please, please just ask
In the end, in the end
There's nothing more to life than love, is there？
In the end, in the end
It's time for us to lose our weary minds
There's nothing more to life than love, is there？
10.Those Distant Bells
The car crunches gravel
And the wind licks at you
This dark spell you're under
Has you dumbstruck by the gate
And it hurts every muscle
Just to walk back to the house
Now this home that you both made
It looks haunted from the yard
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to her young
And the dark never enters
But it also never leaves
And this spark that he gave you
Is just an ember all but out
If he'd one eye on the exit
Oh you never would have known
Until he drove off in the darkness
Like some slowly fading song
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to her young
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to her young
11.The Symphony
Wooden floors, wooden floors whisper
And they creak under your sockless feet
A secret door, a door undiscovered
You knock so gently in case you're heard
A record plays a song that you've not heard
It is perfect, it is home
Everything, now everything's different
It is sweeter on your tongue
Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
A symphony, slow music of longing
Plays in movements inside your head
There are no ghosts, no ghosts that can shake you
Like they used to, anymore
Cause you can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
You can see the road ahead in your dream
And the engine's more a sigh than a scream
And your ghosts look more like angels from there
And the coast comes like a raft of warm air
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
If this is all you ever asked for
Then this is all you'll get
12.The President
I've run to ground
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
I'm aching cold
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
And it's broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it
And you wish you'd listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you'd ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help？
I've crashed to earth
But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
And it's broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it
And you wish you'd listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you'd ignored
When you finally gonna ask us for help？
I can see you at the front gate
As you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons
But the tears have never dried
But I'm not coming to you like this
So battered down and sad
I will take the road forgotten again
