This year will be so different
This year will be my year
I know I’ve said it all before
but now it’s happening
This year flowers will grow
Because I’m planting rows
There’s so much left for me to see
My whole entire youth is
out there burning brightly
Cause this year will be different
This year will be different
This year, this year, this year
I assure you, but
If I miss out, how will I know?
And if I don’t live well who will tell me so?
How’s twenty-something meant to go?
And in a year what will I have to show?
This year will be so different
I’ll change the small things first
I’m never going back again
to all the years that hurt
Cause this year will be different
This year will be different
This year, this year, this year
I already know, but
If I miss out, how will I know?
And iIf I don’t live well who will tell me so?
How’s twenty-something meant to go?
And in a year what will I have to show?
Am I just watching all my time as it goes?
But you never know
Cause this year will be different
This year will be different
This year, this year, this year
Will be different

Blue Light

Trainwreck of a day, but
you can’t look away
There’s no one beside you in the bed
So it’s you and your own head
Too late for good rest, it’s
twenty winks at best
You’re waking up with tired eyes once again
Close your eyes and just pretend
It’s hard but I’ll still try
to have an early night
Stranded at the end of the day
The voice in my head keeps talking away
Thought you did it right, you
turned out the blue light
But really the screen glare is what you want
Preferable to your own thoughts
The morning could be bright
But I don’t feel alright
And it’s hard but I’ll still try
to have an early night
Stranded at the end of the day
The voice in my head keeps talking away
Turn out the blue
Turn out the blue
Turn out the blue light
It’s hard but I’ll still try
to have an early night
Stranded at the end of the day
The voice in my head keeps talking away
It’s hard but I’ll still try
to have an early night
Just take me somewhere nice until I drift off
Til I drift off...

Dying To Change
03:38

Waiting for something but it don’t ever come
When did I stop being able to have fun
Now solitary is all I’ve become
New life is looking more like an old one
If all my leaves were falling…
Dying to see
the best in me
Dying to change
the person I have been
If all my leaves were falling
Deciduous not evergreen
If all my leaves were falling
Tomorrow could be new again
What if I made it out
What if I beat the fear
What if I tried hard but I just kept waiting here
What if I made it out
What if I beat the fear
What if I tried hard but I just kept waiting here
Dying to see
the best in me
Dying to change
the person I have been
Deciduous
not evergreen
Waiting for something but it don’t ever come
Waiting for something, waiting for something

Two Boats
04:53
|

|
Across great walls of water
through mists and sheets of rain
You spy another sailor
and they begin to wave
Silhouette beckons “please”
Looks like a mayday call
The water’s to their knees
One boat about to fall
A pang of recognition
develops in your chest
Out there’s a tough position
and you would know it best
You step down from the mast
it’s flooded where you land
Two boats sinking as fast
as one can bail by hand
You’re just human
And it’s good to give back
but you can’t give what you don’t have
There's no need to feel bad
help yourself first, not last
It’s good to give back
but you can’t give what you don’t have
There's no need to feel bad
just help yourself first, not last

Heaven Is Other People
03:28
|

|
It’s been three days now indoors
Hoping quiet will quiet the war
Worried you’ll never feel good like before
but you will
You know alone time ain’t good
Things get hazy and misunderstood
Can’t see a way out, you wish that you could
but you will, you will
No-one is an island
Though you might act like it
It’s your silver bullet
And it might be this simple:
Heaven is other people
It’s quite a negative take
Being so hard on every mistake
Can’t realise there’s times everyone breaks
but you will
And what if everything’s fine?
Only complicated in your mind
A clear perspective’s just so hard to find
but you will, you will
No-one is an island
Though you might act like it
It’s your silver bullet
That you need a little:
Heaven is other people
So there’s no reason to wait
Out the front door, through the front gate
Might even find it lifts some of the weight
Yeah, you will
So when you’re out of the light
When you wanna close in and hold tight
You could just ask what they’re doing tonight
Yeah you will, you will

A Kilo of Feathers
04:32

Just need to take things lighter
When weight begins to stack
when everything attacks
Imagine steel as feathers
and it won’t break your back
Just need to take things lighter
Think I can take things lighter
