1. 'When'
Between getting in and bedtime
those heavy eyes are your sign
to keep busy, being you, to keep up and have the will
to plough on, and cut through
there's nothing more you can do, you can do (you can do)
Between midnight and dawn
those howling winds hit home
on your soul, your mind, none of us can rewind
you plough on, it's your cue
to be there, be kind, it's his time, we stand in line
It's a matter of when, because it matters now
nothing more to fend, please take your bow (take your bow)
Between working and hurting
those teary eyes are sinking
don't hide it, it's you, keep moving and proving
that love is all healing
hope never stands still, stand still, (sometimes you will)

Right Side of Wrong

2. 'Right Side of Wrong'
I was minding my own business, walking along
when I bumped into the right side of wrong
I was running for home, through the Friday night throng
when I bumped into the right side of wrong.
I was listening to, the iron chimes of my heart
calling me to go, back to the start
I was lost in my own world, cruising along
remembering to stay on the right side of wrong
The devil he came, with his nebulous song
he told me to play with the right side of wrong
I said I would change, stuck in mid flight
and steer away from the wrong side of night
I tried to decide, it was taking so long
should I stay on the line, or on the right side of wrong?
The world can wait, on the right side of night (the night)
It's just a flicker of light, in the wrong side of night (the night)
I was minding my own business, walking along
you crossed you line, into your right side of wrong
don't run from your mama, it's here you belong
stay and I'll teach you, the right side of wrong

Ain't the Way I Work

3. 'Ain't The Way I Work'
Most nights it seems, we argue over things
the things I care about, and the things you moan about (moan about)
All of my reasons, against yours, what they mean to me and you
never eye to eye, so we're both completely screwed, I'm through, (I'm through)
I'm on one side of the valley, with what I say and feel
you're at the other side, and down you slide, trying to be healed
this ain't the way I work
Most nights it seems, we go to the extremes
It's only because I care, I think ahead, please don't stare, (don't stare)
you are an impatient neurotic, how any tollerates this?
Your life is such a rule book, with all the attention, spliffs and drink, just think
I'm one side of the valley, with what I say and feel
you're at the other side, and down you slide, trying to be healed
this ain't the way I work (x2)

Blurry Lines

4. 'Blurry lines'
Control the beast, before I let it
control my heart, don't fall apart
you're somehow clouded, it's hard to see
the mist hangs low, round you and me
Control ourselves, and our desires
the tide's come in, and out out a fire
will always dream and make the most
of what we have, down this path
We crossed that bridge, and fell a few times
I ran, sometimes hid, from all the warning signs
Let's sort it out, what's this about?
Let's make it right, don't live in doubt
you're somehow clouded, I can't really see
the mist is lifting, as you sit with me
We crossed that bridge, and fell a few times
I ran, sometimes hid, from all the warning signs
we've crossed that bridge, say you'll be mine
face up to the fears, of these blurry lines (blurry lines)
Control the beast, before I let it
control my heart, don't fall apart

Colourful Open Souls

5. 'Colourful Open Souls'
Colourful open souls will always grow
colourful lives will always shine
colourful wrecks have bleeding souls
they lie there wounded, they lie there low
Open lost souls tell you how they feel
open wide mouths are in awe and real
open fuelled views go beyond the frame
past the horizon, never the same, with no shame
Worried souls, are found in all directions
worried souls, learn from their lessons
worried souls, may worry way too much
their open souls, are always in touch
Colourful open souls will always grow
colourful lives will always shine
colourful wrecks have bleeding souls
they lie there wounded, they lie there low
they lie there wounded, do you really know?
Never assume, what you think they are going through
there's more beyond those roots, so true, so true, so true
Colourful open souls will always grow, etc.

Turn on Each Other

6. 'Turn on Each Other'
Seated in, all this anguish and fear
are two souls, turning on each other
seated in, this suffering and tears
are two souls, who don't love, are two souls, not loving enough
Seated in, this suffering and pain
are two souls, reinventing the game
seated in, all this pride and worry
are two souls, moving along, are two souls, moving alone
I sit in real rooms, with real friends
we've all got real problems, real stories to amend
I sit with you, we're stifled and trapped
tensions, reinvention, we over-react
Routed in, all this anger and hope
are two souls, walking a tightrope
routed in, these days that lay ahead
are two souls, living in dread, are two souls, feeling dead
I sit in real rooms, with real friends
we've all got real problems, real stories to amend
I sit with you, we're stifled and trapped
tensions, reinvention, we over-react
I sit with you, we're stifled and trapped
tensions, reinvention, we over-react, we over-react
we over-react

Anything & Nothing

7. 'Anything and Nothing'
You had your head on his shoulder, but you seemed to look my way
what we had (what we had) is now over
I'm now rocking astray
We were sinking a few little stories, the evening's become a haze
contemplating cosmic solutions,
It's all become a daze
Feeling anything and nothing, it's all counts and it don't
what will I do with my time left, will you ever take note?
I was wrapped up in confusion, climbing over that hill
I became part of some illusion, my mind went still
Feeling anything and nothing, it all counts and it don't
what will I do with my time left, will you ever take note? (x2)
Your eyes were fixed on mine, you had a little too many
I'm hung on some other crime, things are going pretty steady
Feeling anything and nothing, it all counts and it don't
what will I do with my time left, will you ever take note? (x2)

8. 'To Tow Time'
The evening shines into your room, you said goodbye
and way too soon
towing time right back around, to a place, a moment
at peace, no sound
the evening shines along your trail, lighting a way
you never fail
towing time to fit some plan, the hour glass mocks
those grains of sand
to tow time back around, no never again, (ever again)
to tow time back...
the evening shines into your lives, you say hello
to positive signs
towing time to here and now, follow it through
honour that vow
the evening shines into our room, opportunities unfold
and way too soon
to hold time ransom, and to the hour
time owes you something, it has the power
to tow time back around, no never again, (ever again)
to tow time back around, no never again, (ever again)
to tow time back...
Climb that tower, as far as it goes
everything to play for, only you will know
those flowers don't have to die away
allow yourselves to grow, memories stay (memories stay)
The evening brightens mirky walls, a sign to paint over
painful calls
towing time right back around, to guide each other
to steady ground, (to steady ground)
To tow time back around, no never again, (ever again – x3) to tow time back around...

Freeze

9. 'Freeze'
That very moment, when we grew up
I was sitting by your bedside, embracing this love
within those seconds, everything had changed
we smiled, we cried, lost for words, now we rearrange
Freeze frame in my mind, to hold you, you have my time
freeze frame, it'll all be fine, I am here now
Within that moment, when I heard your cry
nothing else mattered in my world, that very night
safe, sound and alive, we will survive,
I'll always be there for you, down the line (down the line)
Freeze frame in my mind, to hold you, you have my time
freeze frame, it'll all be fine, I am here now (x2)
The isolation, the fears, we had
the separation, the tears, they elapse, (oh)
Freeze frame in my mind, to hold you, you have my time
freeze frame, it'll all be fine, I am here now (x2)

10. 'One Day'
You cry for your mother, as she's by his side
one day I will tell you, I'll be honest, confide
but for now, I'm here, I'll protect you from the night
embracing all you are, I'll always shine a light (shine a light)
You hope for her return, right now, she's at his side
can't tell you how he's feeling, too much pain behind those eyes
here and now we play, consumed by distractions
what else can I say, about this course of action? (this action)?
Give me one day, and I'll try to explain
that this is how it is, nothing stays the same (stays the same)
A false sense of security, asking questions with his eyes
someone still lies in there, that is no surprise
can't understand this reality, cannot move at all
cannot fight this tragedy, we can't take this any more, (any more)
Give me one day, and I'll try to explain
that this is how it is, nothing stays the same (x2)
Give me one day, and I'll try to explain (to explain)

Keeping It Together

11. 'Keeping it Together'
Keeping it together before it breaks at the seams
something always gives, we need room to breathe
taking a step back, from the outside looking in
at the monster I've become, why did this, ever begin?
Why did this, ever begin?
Keeping it together, for the sake of seeing it through
gripping to the edge, I can barely see you
taking a step back, to see where we've climbed
between a rock and a hard place, barely moving from this line
barely moving in time
Trying to keep our line of sight
last one get the lights, get the lights...
Taking a step back, to see which bricks have fallen
we're nearly over this wall, from the outside you're calling...
you're calling, you're calling, you're calling, you're calling
you're calling...
