Invisible

Look at your phone,
pick up your messages
I feel alone,
how did we come to this?
Am I invisible
am I invisible
do you see me ‘cause I see you
am I Invisible
Everyday, I know that you’re ghosting me
you ran away, there’s something I fail to see
Am I invisible
am I invisible
do you see me ‘cause I see you
am I Invisible?
Every time that you move away,
I regret that I didn’t say to you
you can be somebody you’re not,
you can tie me up in a knot and now
there’s some things I wanted to say to you,
there’s some things I wanted to play to you,
take the time I can’t take it back
take the time I can’t get it back
Invisible
invisible
do you see me 'cause I see you
am I Invisible?

This winter is the coldest that I can remember,
before we turned the world upside down
It’s written in your eyes, you’ve no one to rely on,
I don’t want to have to feign surprise
Underneath the willow, sleeping on a lilo
maybe, what do I know? upside down
Before we turned the world (upside down)
before we turned the world (outside in)
before we turned the world
This winter is the coldest that I can remember,
waiting for the sun to dry my eyes
I wish you could be here, I have so much to tell you
and maybe we can both apologise
Underneath the willow, sleeping on a lilo
maybe, what do I know? upside down
Before we turned the world (upside down)
before we turned the world (outside in)
before we turned the world (upside down)
down down down down down down down…
Underneath the willow, sleeping on a lilo
maybe, what do I know? upside down
Before we turned the world
before we turned the world
before we turned the world

I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You
Ooh ooh ooh oooh
ooh ooh ooh oooh
ooh ooh ooh oooh
I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You
sometimes
(Time’s taking hold) I Still Think About You
(We’re getting old) I Still Think About You
(Don’t say that you’re…) sometimes
Time’s taking hold
we’re getting old
don’t say that you’re…
I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You
sometimes
I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You

I Still Think About You
I Still Think About You

Safety Net
03:46
|

|
I never had a safety net,
something I would live to regret
‘cause every time I fall, there’s nothing there at all
I wonder, did I hit the bottom yet?
Roaring like a lion, shaking like a leaf
I’ve become a liar, I’ve become a thief
and if you’ve got nothing you still have belief,
I guess that’s something of a relief
I never had a safety net,
something I would live to regret
‘cause every time I fall, there’s nothing there at all
I wonder did I hit the bottom yet
we never had a safety net,
you know must forgive to forget
Ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
And I was thinking we could still be friends,
you know that I would like to see you again
and I was thinking we could still be friends,
you know that I would like to see you again
We never had a
we never had a
we never had a safety net
We never had a
we never had a
we never had a safety net

Lighter than Snow

I wish that I could see
I wish that I could see
what is on your mind
what is on your mind
what is on your mind
Ooh ooh oh oh oh
I don’t mean to bring you down,
but you’re a long way from home
and all these people hanging around,
they don’t know you at all
Now those arms
won’t let go
you’ve been taken in
And I know your eyes are wide,
because I’ve been there before
and all these people that you seek,
they’re gonna hurt you I’m sure
Now those arms
won’t let go
you’ve been taken in
All those charms
work in slow
you’ve been taken in

Will it ever be the same, like an old flame
I’m a little too long in the tooth for this game
could it ever be the same, like an old flame
I kept you in the frame like a long-lost lover
What would we do without each other,
would we do without each other,
what would we do without each other,
would we do without each other
Will it ever be the same, like an old flame
I’m a little too long in the tooth for this game
could it ever be the same, like an old flame
I kept you in the frame like a long-lost lover
What would we be without each other,
would we be without each other,
what would we be without each other, (I don’t know)
would we be without each other (I don’t know)
I try to wake you from your,
I’ve got to wake you from your sleep
I try to wake you from your,
I’ve got to wake you from your sleep
What would we be without each other,
would we be without each other,
what would we be without each other,
would we be without each other

End of the Century
04:08
|

|
End of the Century and I don’t know
where we are going or what I know
it’s not a matter now of wrong or right
it’s just the way that I feel tonight
and I should know,
and I should go
away now,
for a while
Like Ritalin, I’ll rein you in
I’ll talk you back, from the edge again
End of the century and I’m coming back
as something different with my mind intact
you build your bridges and I’ll build mine
so many differences, so little time
and I should know,
and I should go
away now,
for a while
Like Ritalin, I’ll rein you in
want nothing more, what are we fighting for?
it’s breaking my heart,
to see you like that
it’s taken me a lot of time,
to get the image out of my head
and I don’t need your words
ringing round my ears
and I don’t need your friends
bringing me these tears
I just want the time,
travelling these years
taking up the space,
taking on my fears
Like Ritalin, I’ll rein you in
I’ll talk you back, from the edge again
I’m living in a dream I know, I’m living in a dream oh no (like Ritalin)
I’m living in a dream I know, I’m living in a dream oh no (I’ll rein you in)
I’m living in a dream I know, I’m living in a dream oh no (I’ll talk you back)
I’m living in a dream I know, I’m living in a dream oh no (from the edge again)

Life in Black and White
03:27
|
|||
|
Everything is hanging from a thread
and I can’t unspin this web
everyone is saying there’s a limit
well I found I’m in it, again
Is it all for me, these lights I see
like a perfect reflection of how it should be
you see life in black and white
you see life in black and white
Delicately dancing on a wire
kept me in place, kept me tired
pulling everything apart you said
well I know I’m being misled
Is it all for me, these lights I see
like a perfect reflection of how it should be
I see life in black and white
I see life in black and white
And it seems to me, that there seems to be
a million reasons not to stay, to turn and look the other way
but it seems to me, that there seems to be
everything I need to see, staring back at me in black and white
Is it all for me, these lights I see
like a perfect reflection of how it should be
I see life in black and white
I see life in black and white

Start Again
03:50
|

|
She still tells me sometimes that I need to walk away
I still think the memories of yesterday don’t like back
she still tells me sometimes that I need to start again
forget the memories of yesterday and climb right back
And Start again, start again,
start again, start again
She still tells me sometimes that I need to write it down
and it’s enough to bring yourself out of a cloud and turn it round
she still tells me sometimes that I’m hanging around
and if you’re standing at the edge of a cliff, don’t look down
Start again, start again,
start again, start again
If I thought I could,
try harder you know that I would
I’ve been waiting for
the right moment to leave here for good (leave here for good)

Transatlantic Canvas
03:56

Texan teen,
heart full of flowers,
handful of dreams
keys to Vegas City
I’ll give you a pass,
I thought my life without you wouldn’t last
I miss my Rembrandt stare at the airport
you miss my Mona Lisa smile
In a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear
in a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear
Mum, he’s a boy in a band
and if it’s love enough for me,
it’s good enough for you
and all you have to do is let me go,
all you have to do is let me grow
In a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear
within a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear
And I will never leave you,
no I will never leave you
no I will never leave you,
no I will never leave you
no I will never leave you,
no I will never leave you
no I will never leave you,
no I will never leave you
‘cause in a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear
in a Transatlantic Canvas, I disappear

A London girl went travelling up north past the border wall,
she had no use for numbers when the lochs for her did call
she met a lad while learning who fed her and who kept her warm,
but it wasn’t long before she was gone, moved away all forlorn
Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Many adventures have been and gone now, different places to rest our heads
and whilst the sock unravelled all the while you held the thread
that keeps us all connected, guides us on the road ahead
helps us see the path the we have forged that you did give your breath
Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
