Verse 1
Ever felt that shiver like you’ve been touched
Turn around to find a space where you look
Often heard you though you’re never there
Close the door with your scent in the air
Walked on by you at the foot of the stair
The strangest feeling but you don’t seem to care
Cross away until we pass in the night
Lose my breath as you stroll out of sight
Verse 2
Locked inside in here I’m way underground
The light is dim and still I can’t hear a sound
Passing through it feels like I’ve got no choice
Your touch inspires, the sound of your voice
Often felt you though you’re never there
Closing in on the scent in the air
Cross away to paths I’m starting to learn
The way ahead is beginning to turn
Verse 3
Ever felt that shiver like you’ve been touched
Turn around to find a space where you look
Often heard you though you’re never there
Close the door with your scent in the air
Walked on by you at the foot of the stair
The strangest feeling but you don’t seem to care
Pass away until we cross in the night
Lose myself as you stroll out of sight

I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
Verse 1
Here’s a sleepy eyed tomorrow
And the day’s fall into place
We’re starting big this time
There’s no reason to look back
In the early light, I follow
And the love still feels the same
Bridge
Sometimes I come and go
It’s the reason that I wait
Chorus
I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
Verse 2
Never out of luck, I’ll follow
Life entagled in the midst
Taking bottles and black holes
I know it’s waiting, it’s where I will go
Please don’t question this
Bridge
Sometimes I come and go
It’s the reason that I wait
Chorus
I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
Middle 8
And won’t you tell me I don’t know
I guess it really goes to show
To understand, to need to know
From the start
And someone tell me, I’m okay
I never meant to feel this way
You keep the key, play your part
Chorus
I believe it now,
Won’t you, won’t you take me back to the start
I believe it now,
Won’t you take me back to the start
Believe it now, won’t you take me back,
Back to the start
Believe it now, won’t you
Take me back to the start
Take me back
I believe it now
Take me back to the start, oh

Intro
I can't run, I can't lie
To tied up with what I feel inside
Lift me up, take me down
I'm caught up there's no place to hide
No way, could I be denied
Face down in the rising tide
Verse 1
You can choose, if you will
Take control in a lonely deal
If you move, if you stay
Please don't tell me your drifting away
If I fall, if I crack
Though I know they'll be no turning back
Lift me up, I'm in deep
Undercurrents will spin you around
Bridge
No way, could I be denied
Face down in the rising tide
Middle
Days seem longer since I met you
I take heart I won't forget you
Days seem long to be without you now
I'm so full of played down silence
I feel sure you're somewhere distant
I can't make it out here on my own
I'm drowning, drowning, drowning
Feels like I'm drowning, drowning
Feels like I'm falling apart
Outro
No way, could I be denied
Face down in the rising tide
I'm still here with you
Watching, waiting till I'm over you
I'm caught I'm rising
Feels like I'm caught in a rising tide

Verse 1
Lately then
You know what I can start anew
Taken back
I'd like to see my world in bloom
But each time that I fall for you
It damn near splits my world in two
A million pieces scattered bare
Verse 2
Lately now
I think of you somewhere somehow
And as she turns
I feel like I will never learn
Bridge
To live inside another world
Of poison, silver laced with gold
And suddenly I see it all so clear
Chorus
Got my mind in the distance
And my head in the clouds
Got my feet in the kitchen
And my eyes spinning round
To the great contradiction
And the lost paradise
Think of me sometime
Verse 3
Everybody dreams
Takes a while to realise
Anybody sees
But in your face I recognise
Chorus
Got my mind in the distance
And my head in the clouds
Got my feet in the kitchen
And my eyes spinning round
To the great contradiction
And the lost paradise
Think of me sometime
Middle 8
Inside my world
I can breathe, I can feel it turning
Now and to hold the feeling close
Inside my world, I can see
I can feel I'm learning
Now and to hold the feeling close
Bridge
But each time that I fall for you
I damn near split my world in two
A million pieces scattered bare

Know to need you, strong enough, strong enough
Know to need you, strong enough, I know you will be strong
Verse 1
Somebody help me, no I don’t blame you,
I tried to look into the future and all I got was nothing, it’s the same
too,
Premonition, all the day through,
I wish we all could think of someone to believe in,
Throw me a lifeline,
I’m tired of churning up on charity, saving all my secrets for a new day,
I’m on the same stage and I don’t feel brave
And if there’s even just a chance, a chance for me to shine,
I’m gonna to take it
Chorus
Too late you carry on,
I know you will be strong
I've known it all along, you're strong inside
Verse 2
I’ve got a closed view, could I believe you
It’s getting faster than a bullet,
Fast until I pull it back it and slow down,
And though it's cause and effect, to leave with my respect
A smile unto my own, and I don’t blame you,
No distraction, step into the middle
Focus on a world without a boundary
It’s like a new day,
I’ve got a love in me that burns, returns upon my strength and gives me
something back
Chorus
Too late you carry on,
I know you will be strong
I've known it all along, you're strong inside
I know you had the chance
You stand in circumstance
I've known it all along, you're strong inside
Chorus Vocal
Strong enough to carry,
Strong enough to care,
It's a cruel infatuation,
Brave it if you dare,
Takes a cool, cool mind
To leave things as you find
Strong enough to carry,
Strong enough in kind.

Verse 1
Now and then,
You see with your eyes to the sky open wide there is dawn,
Take me where,
The river runs deep and the shadows they keep, let me fall
Falling slowly in control
You wake me up and shake me softly
Verse 2
Tell me why,
As life passes by no more tears can I cry that is all
Can it be,
That all we've become will just die with the sun, let it fall
Chorus
Take me once again
Rain in faraway lands
Back where I began
Solo
Chorus
Take me once again
Rain in faraway lands
Back where I began
Dreams of father and son
Back where I began
Verse 3
Now and then,
The days of a lifetime of innocence lost by the way,
Tell me why,
Pictures of home they keep calling me back now again

Verse 1
So she's gone, don't know if I'll be back again,
So she's gone, light from the window beckons on,
When you were deep in my body,
There's a feeling that I can't explain,
Twisting and turning we wind up a storm,
There's a pleasure that comes from my pain,
Love call me, smile and remember,
I was blinded and drunk by your side,
The good always try but surrender,
Tell me how would it be, if I found you again
Bridge
A lifetime avails you, you're walking through darkness,
Following into the new
A shining persuasion, a love that shines through,
Each passing moment rolls by
Outro
So she's gone, don't know if I'll be back again
So she's gone, don't know if I'll be back again

Intro
Looks like you’ve lost your reason
Why fight the only feeling left
No-one noticed so you moved on
Leaving was the only choice to make
Chorus
I don’t know why, I had to.
Stand by myself,
I don’t know why I had to,
Stop the world from turning upside down
Verse 1
News travels fast around this town,
Just when things are looking up,
Looking up can only bring them down,
So they told you stop your dreaming,
But inside you feel like screaming,
Where do I go next, which direction has the answer
Verse 2
Life’s bitter truth you must endure,
It was never gonna be,
A fact you really can’t ignore,
So they told you stop your dreaming
But inside you feel like screaming
Where do I go next, which direction has the answer
Chorus
I don’t know why, I had to.
Fend for myself,
I don’t know why, I had to.
Stop the world from turning upside down
Piano Solo
Middle
Say what you need, be who you are,
Take a look into my eyes and tell me what it means
when you,
Live for the moment, live along the way,
All you were is laid before,
The last unguided star has fallen
Bridge
City lives and sheltered faces,
But the dawn light soon embraces,
A world in touch with what it knows,
Step in to the new life glisten,
Of a day too much like this one,
Will I never find, which direction holds the answer
Guitar Solo
Chorus
I don’t know why, I had to.
Stand by myself,
I don’t know why, I had too.
Fend for myself

Chorus
Further and further and further,
Deeper and deeper and deeper,
Bridge
Fly free over the land,
Find freedom the best way you can,
Verse 1
I'm tired of trying,
I'm tired of dreaming,
I'm tired of wasting my time,
Giving my life to you,
I'm tired of hiding,
Tired of feeling,
Torn up, feeling empty inside, running my life for you.
Bridge
Lie back into my hands,
Find feeling the best way you can
Verse 2
I'm tired of hiding,
I'm tired of feeling,
I'm torn up feeling empty inside,
Giving my life to you
Chorus
Further and further and further,
Deeper and deeper and deeper,
Middle
Yesterday someone reached out for me,
A feeling that I
thought had let me be,
Yesterday someone reached out for me,
Broke the hold
you had and set me free,
Language is deep,

Intro
I can wait it out,
Tell me when it's time to go.
You talk of deeper things,
How am I supposed to know.
And life goes slowly in deep water,
Only when we knew.
Verse 1
I look for better days,
Better times ahead for us,
And I won't feel ashamed,
I won't stay to count the cost/
Bridge
Picking up broken pieces,
All the way down, a lonely view,
Scenes of dust in December,
I couldn't say that I needed you.
Verse 2
We looked to all the rest,
But found it hard to face the truth.
I lived for second best,
Afraid of bringing in the new
Bridge
I've been torn into pieces,
When you're lost it's a lonely view,
You try so hard when you're faithless,
How I learned to depend on you.
Chorus
Life goes slowly in deep water,
Only through and through,
Don't think badly, in deep water
Only when we knew
Verse 3
And as I lay awake,
Inner thoughts hidden from view,
Now I don't try and hide,
I bid escape as you come too.
Days go slowly behind you,
Your eyes alight with a deep embrace,
Put those days all aside now,
I look to you as I fall from grace.

Verse 1
It's way, way past the day that I shone,
My world lies heavy on my shoulders,
And I'm dazed and bruised by watching aside,
The lines run deep as day grows colder.
Chorus
So it goes the stories,
For the dreams of such a man,
To keep the crazy silence,
To do the best he can.
Verse 2
It's a day, that seems to fit all the rest,
And long remains the subplot to success,
The fire burns from deep within,
To close this time he can't give in,
It feeds an urge to strong to push it aside.
Chorus
So it goes the stories,
For the dreams of such a man,
Not to hold in silence to look into his hand,
Reflect upon the story and where it all began,
Keep the crazy silence,
I must be moving on.
Middle
I can hear the Autumn swaying,
Laid across the wasted sun as wading ground into the earth,
Can hold my tongue and steal my birth.
And all who came to see me burn,
Come low and face another turn,
Of twisted icons bound and gagged,
While silent islands lie unflagged.
Chorus
So it goes the stories,
For the dreams of just a man,
Not to hold in silence to look into his hand,
So it goes the stories,
For the dreams of just a man,
Keep the crazy silence,
I must be moving on.
Verse 3
It's way, way past the day I began,
It breaks beneath the morning starts to come,
And time don't slow, just keeps its place,
Draws across his weary face,
Fallen ground and shining to come.
Keep the crazy silence.

Verse 1
There was never a time before
A time like this where we could be as one
Knowing only each taste of life
Gets harder still with every passing day
And if I could just call your name
It fills a place where we were much too young
Never reaching the trail of thought
That in our hearts and minds we grew so strong
Chorus
Time is on your side
Fear is in your heart
Love is in your eyes
Verse 2
Sweet emotion, so rich, so deep
It comes and goes with every light around,
Finds a place that still haunts inside us
Lies abound, lies within us all,
Chorus
Time is on your side
Fear is in your eyes
Love is in your heart
Light is in your eyes
Fear is in your heart
Time in on your side
Verse 3
Live each moment and hold it still
It comes so close, it passes only once
Scenes that seem so familiar to you
Die in time now, finally burn out
Chorus
Time is on your side
Fear is in your heart
Love is in your eyes
Light is in your eyes
Fear is in your heart
Time in on your side

Verse 1
I watch the clouds melt into view
The colour white, the shape of you
Passing time is wasted time
Wasted time is without you
And even as I sleep at night
The darkness has no deeper hold
The holes that fill the space you make
The space you make it has no hold at all
But I fly away
To find the only way
Far far away
Unto a brand new day
Verse 2
As I watch you walk away
I sit alone and hope and pray
That passing time’s not wasted time
Wasted time it has no hold at all
But I fly away
To find the only way
Far far away
Unto a brand new day
Middle
But even though your conscience says you won’t give
You know you must be strong and find a way
The feelings that have come and gone
They flicker and burn out
You know that you must find another way

Chorus
These days, I look to find a better life,
Won't you tell me what I have to do,
These days, I look to find a better way,
Back along the only road I knew
Verse 1
I was younger,
I was younger then,
I can't hold you,
And I can't pretend,
I can't live it all, I can't live it all with you
I can't give it all, I can't give it all with you
Chorus
These days, I look to find a better life,
Won't you tell me what I have to do,
These days, I look to find a better way,
Back along the only road I knew
Verse 2
I was stronger,
So much stronger then,
Pride is stronger,
But it's hard to defend,
I can't live it all, I can't live it all with you
I can't give it all, I can't give it all with you
