You Let Go So Easily

Verse 1:
Go on walking
Don’t slow down
Hurry like you’ve always wanted to
Save your breath
From words you never meant
I can feel your relief
At not seeing my face
So why do you lament
It’s a sad circumstance
Why write that you’re blue
You’re only happy to lose
Chorus:
You let go so easily
Barely scarred, hardly touched
You let go too easily
You turn away
From the mess you’ve made
To keep your heart safe
Someone had to break
Verse 2:
If you want
I’ll just play along
Couldn’t bear to hurt you
You could never take much
But you didn’t care
To spare a little respect
That’s okay baby
You got the world as your cradle
So why do you cry,
That fate is unkind,
Why say you’re alone,
When you’ve got someone else to hold
Chorus:
You let go so easily
Barely scarred, hardly touched
You let go too easily,
You turn away
From the mess you’ve made
To keep your heart safe
Bridge:
Maybe you thought I had left you behind
Wish I had told you
You never slipped my mind
Baby I never wanted this end
Hanging by a sliver of peaceful pretence
Chorus:
So tell me how do you
You let go so easily
Barely scarred, hardly touched
You let go too easily
You turn away
From the mess you’ve made
To keep your heart safe
Someone had to break

Prince

Verse 1:
Did you hear the story of the boy
Who dreamt of bright and starry things
Gold-paved streets that gild the hills
Scarlet cloak and rainbow shield
Through the piper’s smoke he hitched a ride
On the coat-tails of the night
To a stormy land chasing a rhyme
He went against the tide
He’s gotta run
Baby run
Chorus*:
He’s gotta get out
Out of this city of darkness
This wilderness
It ain’t no paradise
He’s gotta run back home
Back to his momma’s arms
Oh does she know
He’s living a lie
Verse 2:
Under the quilt of violet sky
He found his rest in dreamless sleep
Shadows as his fathers who took him
Deep into the abyss of their keep
Thought at last he was a prince
Invincibility
Never knew he was a jewel in the rings
On the fingers of the kings
He’s gotta run
Baby run
(Chorus*)
Verse 3:
The prince, one day when the wind had died
And the sun had burned his eyes
The kings they left
And he fell and begged
Till he ran out of tears to shed
Thought the others would be kind
But they all seemed to decline
Wish he could still be alive
Hoping for a sign
Hoping for a sign
(Chorus*)
Bridge:
Nineteen never gonna see twenty-one
Waiting in agony between
Turn a leaf but boy it is already done
They’re never gonna set you free
Pray to the preacher who’ll bless your heart
Humanity’s a parody
Last Chorus:
He’s gotta get out
Of this darkness
This wilderness
It ain’t no paradise
He’s gotta run back home
Back to his momma’s arms
Oh does she know
He’s living a lie
Get out,
Out of this wilderness
It ain’t no paradise
Boy, you’ve gotta run back home
Oh does she know
You’re all alone

Verse 1:
If time stood still then
I wouldn’t mind staying that way forever
But it’s been going since you
Took it by its hand when you left
If could turn it back
Serendipity’s dream
Hold you close just for a while
Then baby, it’s everything
Chorus*:
But now we’re strangers
Smiles ain’t mean no nothing
Don’t know each other anymore
We’re strangers
Words cover for silence
Too caught up in trying
To turn our separate worlds
Verse 2:
If places held their charm
Of the silly glee, the dizzy dance that lived then
But they’re quiet now
For it’s never gonna be the same without you
Can’t complete the steps
Not when there’s half of a pair
Fancy you walk right back in
Tread memory’s waltz without a care
(Chorus*)
Bridge:
Won’t you turn around
Go back and mend those foolish days
Long for someone to wipe your tears away
Start from where you left
Alt Verse:
Just so to hide away
Keep from crossing the line
Forget what’s already past
Then it wouldn’t be a lie
Last Chorus:
And now we’re strangers
We're nothing now
Don’t know you anymore
Oh baby now we’re strangers
Words cover for silence
Too caught up in trying
To turn our separate worlds

Wolves In The Night

Verse 1:
It's getting late but we ain't in bed
Lost track of time
Can't tell the night from day
Nor heaven from hell
The world's a slumber
But you can't shut your eyes
So leave them open
if you won't be broken
Chorus*:
Wolves in the night
Wolves in the night
Don't let them catch us baby
The secret's ours to keep
Hush now, don't make a sound
Can't let them take us down
Wolves in the night
Wolves in the night
Verse 2:
Sweat is sweet, we're laughing mad
For sanity's sake
It's past 4am
The radio screams
Can't change your seats
So play dice with placebo
Gotta take the heat
And stand on both feet
(Chorus*)
Bridge:
Wait, turn out the lights
Heard a knock
Baby are the doors locked
Wait, don't pick up the phone
Be good and just stay here unknown
Wake up, you're not dreaming
Get off the floor
Need a fix from the 24
Wake up, you're not sleeping
Iin this game
Baby tell me what is pain
Wolves in the night
Wolves in the night
(Chorus*)

Mr Somebody

Verse 1:
Hey Mr Somebody, I don’t know you
but I guess I met you once
Your lips suspended the universe
Caught me somewhere in between the lines
I found the stars in your irises
And the sun snared in your wretched old smile
But I, I didn’t think I would burn
When you put the flame out
Your honour, my shame
Verse 2:
Hey Mr Somebody, I know dear ol’ robby too
You frost your words with his sweet dark fire
Oh what damning contrivance
Spurned the gold with your cold careless feet
Turned eden into salt pools
Too fast, too deep
And I’m wading, drowning, dying to live
In this perishing dream
Awake in this sleep
Chorus*:
Darling I never loved you too much
But you took more than enough from me
Baby I guess I miss you too much
But you were never enough for me
Verse 3:
Hey Mr Somebody, stop, please just for a little while
The road bends into two anyway
So won’t you travel back in time with me
To find a boy I met at seventeen
Our conversation ends
Halfway, no end
So won’t you, won't you come finish it up
Every word that we’ve lost
Oh what would we say
(Chorus*)
