Safe House 04:38
I won’t say it’s the way I am Won’t make you cry just because I can No need to read me, cos I say what I think Speak in indelible ink Cloud blood we shed from your teeth sharp Mouth sharp, your tongue is so sharp But I think I’ve found my safe house yeah I think I’ve found my safe house oh I think I’ve found my safe house but I’m the only one home I’ve been seeing you everywhere In my mind I know you wouldn’t dare Show your face round me, since I built that tower Disease and barbed wire Windowless bricks and slits Hurling stones and sticks Breathing sickness But I think I’ve found my safe house yeah I think I’ve found my safe house oh I think I’ve found my safe house but I’m the only one home I pretend I’m strong but I’m falling apart I pretend you’re wrong about my broken heart I’ve got too much pride to go back to the start Cos honey you broke me down and all that’s left is parts Yeah honey you broke me down and all that’s left is parts But I think I’ve found my safe house yeah I think I’ve found my safe house oh I think I’ve found my safe house but I’m the only one home

New Friends 05:02
I got a new friend I think I met her outside she’s so lovely she said she’d give me a ride I got a new love we said we’d be together I got a new love we said we’d be forever So many new friends I think I’m having a ball And in the morning I’ll remember them all New friends New friends New friends I’m gonna have them all I got a new friend, I got a new friend, I got a new friend, I got a new friend New friends New friends New friends Gonna write on my wall I got a new friend, I got a new friend, I got a new friend, I got a new friend New friends New friends New friends Hey guys look I’m having so much fun Take a picture so we can show everyone Tag us all so they can know we’re together Take another you know it makes us look better I’ve got a problem I think I’m lonely am I the only one? No matter what I do nobody thinks I’m cool am I the only one? am i the only one? I’m having trouble believing whats true I can’t connect though I’m connected to you I’m having trouble figuring out whats real if it’s not public how’d i know how to feel

Hollow 03:46
I’m nurturing a garden planting seeds and pulling weeds carefully and slowly giving each one what it needs My nails are thick with dirt sweat caked upon my shirt and my wrists and hands are raw with thorns and thistled sores I’m making our flat cosy hanging bunting and coloured lights I’m watching youtube videos on how to make origami fairy lights I’m painting walls not pictures I’m fixing more than just guitars I writing songs of love and I’m healing old scars I might not settle down I might not stay long in one place but each morning I want to wake up looking at your face We’ll be together You and me forever Where you go I follow Without you I’m hollow We will never be apart We are joined at the heart Where you go I follow Without you I’m hollow We can grow-up together and grow old whenever we’ll have matching rocking chairs and dye each others greying hairs I’m terrible at knitting and lawn bowls and golf even though grandma was lady captain at the jewish golf course But then I thought I’d never garden or write earnest love songs it feels so strange I guess that’s why they say people change We’ll be together You and me forever Where you go I follow Without you I’m hollow We will never be apart We are joined at the heart Where you go I follow Without you I’m hollow

Letter 05:17
‘Cos I can’t write it in a letter and I can’t tell you on the phone no I cant put it into words but I cant leave you alone so I’ll sing ooh… I’ll sing ooh… and I hope you understand If you could step into my mind and see the things I see If you could listen to my heart and translate every beat you wouldn’t wonder what I’m thinking or ask me what’s the deal I wouldn’t stumble over sentences just to tell you how I feel If you ever noticed the little things I do then you’d start to realise they’re all revolving around you So come a little closer I’m trying to explain but I know you think I’m lame I can’t draw you in a picture or dance you on a stage I tried my hand at poetry but all I gets an empty page cos music is the only language that I know and this is how it goes Cos we go round and round and round and we turn upside down we spin around and round and round but theres no words oh theres no communication anymore
