At Least
so he lied and now your doubt burns like a flame
and you're crying wondering
if your love can ever be the same
and you're tearing up inside at all the heartlessness
he's shown
but at least you're not alone
so she needed more than you'd thought you would give
and you're empty like a shell and wondering what it means to live
and you're tearing up inside at all the chances that
you've blown
but at least you're not alone
so it's evening and I'm staring at the wall
and I start to wonder if my friends are ever gonna call
and I'm tearing up inside at all the silence I'm scared of
but at least I'm not in love

come so far that i can barely see
how i got to where i'm standing
thought that i'd be strong and i'd be free
but it's not the way i planned it
doubts remain....something's missing
didn't change and i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't know if i understood
and all the crazy things i can't explain
always thought one day i'd find a book
and on page one it would be written down
really simple if you care to look
but doubts remain....something's missing
didn't change and i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't know if i understood
but you can look and never find all the little pieces
or step back and admire whatever remains
so get your coat and step outside your door
lean your head right back and breathe the sky
let your heart be what it wants to be
kiss the ones you love and wave goodbye
doubts remain....something's missing
doesn't hurt like i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't care if i understood

everything i say
feels like a foreign language
even my name
is just a pseudonym
don't know what i feel
just what i think i should be feeling
the world i see and hear
is not the world i'm in

january sky like a slate wiped clean
and stillness of air
where nothing has been
wait for your word as if to say
another last chance lives from today
happy new year the world
just keeps turning
day into night night into day
holding on tight
millions all hoping
something like love
will light up the way
dying for change
but the feeling won't last
summer will come
and be over too fast
grow into sun fade into rain
a miniature life to live over again
happy new year
the world just keeps going
tumbling round
screaming through space
holding on tight
millions all hoping
something like love
will light up their face
happy new year to everyone hurting
praying this time
it all becomes clear
here when the light is
pale and uncertain
happy new year
happy new year

thought life was like a diary
begun the day you're born
filled with crazy writing
up to the latest dawn
and reaching out from there
towards the page you'd never turn
the empty days
the fate you'd still to learn
thought life was like a diary
begun the day you're born
but nothing this confusing
could be so clearly drawn
and today i saw it in a different light
and my heart sank
the days to come were filled
the days gone, blank

sometimes a word emerges
out of the silent stream
that runs beneath opinion
illusion of the waking dream
we are not what we seem
something prevents me looking
it must be for the best
but still the half-heard whisper
reminds me that i've failed the test
to know your own unrest
i know a choice is coming
for peace or honesty
pour concrete on the footprints
from everything that you might be
love will set you free

sorry I didn't like your point of view
didn't mean to upset you or hurt you
find it hard to tell those sweet little lies
always finding fault when i could compromise
i just want a perfect world
sorry i don't see life the way you do
if i could i'd be just the same as you
every day parade the things i feel inside
not be frightened by the doubt that i can't hide
i just want a perfect world
something beautiful preserved
and to take what we've been given's
a trick i've never learned
so the world falls off around you
you're standing on the edge
know you'll fall it just hasn't happened yet
and there's no-one left to catch you
and even if there were
you're not sure you could repay such a debt
but i just can't seem to shake
the old pursuits of youth
simple need to be
the seeker after truth
i just want a perfect world
dumbest thing you ever heard
but to take what we've been given's
a trick i've never learned

take me to the sea
where the water claims the land
take me somewhere
i can try to understand
the forces of decay that no-one can resist
why nothing can remain the way it is
take me to the sea
been too long upon the land
jacob forster must be smiling in his grave
one day soon he'll leave his prison
hope that i'll be there to see him sail away
wave him on his way
take me to the sea
been too long upon the land

thought you'd found a way
kill the feeling
and it felt so good
you were leaving
another trick you've fallen for
you've lost
another day to hope for more
you might think it's over but
it's not
world of silent wonder's all
you've got
welcome to the life
you'll be leading
it's so hard to lose
when your heart's never beaten
never close the open door behind
never gonna know for sure
you might think it's over but
it's not
world of silent wonder's
all you've got
you might think it's over
but it's not

some feelings seem to burn too deeply
blow out and don't return completely
and it's all some dumb cliche
years getting in the way
somehow
somehow it marks the choice before you
what you were raised to be or want to
and it's all some dumb cliche
solved everywhere each day
somehow
somehow the time must come to pass on
but every year becomes the last one
and it's all some dumb cliche
that haunts you every day
somehow
half your life has gone

long beyond our time
all of us we see
the perspectives we were
never meant to see
hardest of them all
is to know we're free
is to know that we were
never meant to be
only love can save
and we admit defeat
to the fate that we were
never meant to cheat
all of us we see
never meant to see

try to find a way
get through this
laugh it all away
or raise your fist
oh, but laughter's pain's truth denied
oh, and anger's shame trying to hide
nothing much remains
just be still
if silence can't explain
nothing will
oh, and when it's said you don'

always this
same and different
always this
taken given
and never thought of change
still the song remains
if i'm gonna shed the second skin
i've always worn
think it's gonna
be the strangest thing
i've ever done
but holding on
to some past present
is holding back
and future isn't
made for those who wait
better never than late
if i'm gonna
shed the second skin
i've always worn
think it's gonna
be the hardest thing
i've ever done
and still the shame
to come restrains
hold me in these gentle arms until
this chance has gone

last bus sails away
and night calls
an end to another day
no more you can do
to fight the things
you need to get you through
someone to be strong
some belief that on the way
some peace could be found
we're all the same
as the last bus sails away
last bus sails away
and everything
you were falls away
only this remains
always underneath our tired games
clear eyed or confused
a quiet heart still feels the same
angered or amused
we're lost again
as the last bus sails away

every hour, every day
isn't nature denied?
in a world where it rains
you're the sun in the sky
but i can't bear to see you
'cos i can't bear the pain
and i can't heal the wounds
'cos i still can't explain
why i feel like an alien
not part of the human race
when my heart wants to burst
at the sight of your face
i feel like i'm suffering
from a beautiful disease
when your sad pretty smile
brings me down to my knees
such a simple thing
it should be such a simple thing
you can call me confused
all that i can confess
is i can't come to terms
settle for something less
will i feel this emotion
till the day that i die?
and go to my grave
still wondering why
i feel like an alien...

distant lies - calling you across the years
their voices loud - kind of loudness no-one hears
grown and twisted out of shape
they're so hard to recognise
but still they point a gun at you
make you be what you despise
distant lies - shallow dreams, confused ideas
once our hopes - now they anchor all our fears
spend your lifetime if you will
searching for the truth below
years of doubt and years of pain
and you still may never know
distant lies
lies of faith, lies of fame
distant lies
lies of love, lies of shame

20000 ft
The shadows of the clouds throw doubt across the land
you cannot always see the truth from where you stand
from 20000 ft everything is clear
been looking for a place to be and now I'm here
My fellow travellers don't feel the way I feel
they're reading books and drinking wine and making deals
at 20000 ft suspended in thin air
a world without them turns below and they don't care
But I can't escape the glory of this view
and somewhere in that teeming stillness must be you
but at 20000 ft my cold heart makes no sound
and if I had the chance I'd never come back down
