I Know (A. Paddick)
I meet you by the stairs
The light is on your skin
Yeah, I know you’ve got cares
So I let your voice begin
Yeah, I Know
We meet on mutual ground
You ask me to explain
You said I let you down
‘Cause I couldn’t stay the same
Yeah, I know
I tell you how I feel
As if I really can
You say this can’t be real
Like I don’t know who I am
But I know
I know

Worth It (A. Paddick)
Just when I make my mind up, you come out of nowhere
You turn me right around ‘til I am back there
You ruined my creation, I thought you were not worth it
Now there’s nothing I can do, I’m back I can’t help it
What a beautiful frustration, a wonderful dilemma
My cold imagination couldn’t stand
What a beautiful frustration, a wonderful dilemma
My cold imagination couldn’t stand forever
Absence made me recreate, you totally transformed
I deleted all that made you great to feel that I’d been warned
You’ll forever be the way you are
I think I’ll keep my eyes open, now I don’t wanna blink
What a beautiful frustration, a wonderful dilemma
My cold imagination couldn’t stand
What a beautiful frustration, a wonderful dilemma
My cold imagination couldn’t stand forever

Walking When (A. Paddick)
I go out walking when I feel alone
and I don’t wanna call a home a home
I go out walking when I’m lonely
I don’t want nobody I don’t wanna be
I talk in circles when I can’t agree
My head is fighting with my body
I talk in circles when I oppose you
I don’t even know who I am talking to
I wanna tell you that it’s all ok
That I don’t mean what I think anyway
I wanna tell you that it’s all alright
If we could just give up the fight
Walking when I’m lonely
I don’t want nobody

Come and Play (B. Paddick)
You’re alright now, you’re home safe at last
Your warn out mind’s released from the past
Your dad is here, your mums on the phone
The mist is clear, you can feel it in your bones
Come and play – The lights turned on, no need to hide
Come and play – The Walls are long gone, I’m by your side
Come and play – There’s no need to run, there’s nothing in the way
Come and play – So won’t you come? Come and play
You’ve done your time for a crime that wasn’t yours
You’ve made that climb, you’ve broken off the claws
The future’s here and your innocence remains
The coast is clear, and now you grab the reins
Come and play – The lights turned on, no need to hide
Come and play – The Walls are long gone, I’m by your side
Come and play – There’s no need to run, there’s nothing in the way
Come and play – So won’t you come? Come and play

Now (A. Paddick)
I’ve only been half doing things
I won’t stand on solid ground
I’ve been waiting in the wings
Nowhere to be found
I’m always living with the fear
of letting somebody down
I’m ready to go with you
But it’s got to be now
Now I’m here
You tell me you ain’t got the time
To wait another day
But it’s so heavy on your mind
You can’t hear me when I say
There’s nothing in the way
Now I’m here
I’m trying to make the most of a good thing
But the day is disappearing
I’m trying to make the most of a good thing
But the day is almost gone

Leaving me Behind (A. Paddick)
You used to teach me everything
You kept me safe under your wing
I used to cry at night sometimes
And you’d tell me everything would be fine
So, why
Why are you leaving me behind
I can’t bear the thought
We were together rest and play
While you would dream of far away
I felt like I was safe and sound
But I needed you around
So, why
Why are you leaving me behind
I can’t bear the thought
I am not the same
I thought I knew what I was to you
You think you can walk up and say
That you have had your time away
But life isn’t like a chasing game
I’ve stood alone I’m not the same

Your Technique (A. Paddick)
When I am wrong you feel right
When I am heavy you feel light
When I am lost you feel found
and when I’m insane you feel sound
But it’s only comfort by comparison
When I am weak you feel stronger
When my time is short yours seems longer
When my day is shit yours is fantastic
And when I feel stiff you’re elastic
But it’s only comfort by comparison
And you only know one way to let me in
I can see right through you
Your technique does not ring true
It’s not working well for you
and I know you see this too
‘Cause when I’m free you can’t escape
When I am grounded you relocate
When I remember, you forget your own name
And when I am winning, you think you’ve lost the game
But you’re only suffering by comparison

The Road (A. Paddick & C. Meyer)
Sometimes you’re so hard to talk to
Sometimes you’re so hard to find
Sometimes I try to exploit you
Tell me you don’t mind
There is a road that we’re travelling
There’s a way still to go
All our ideas are unraveling
At least we know that we don’t know
When the road below is speeding
And we’ve come a way from home
Oh, we cannot bear repeating
What we’ve known
I see the light that we’re chasing
Though we are only brand new
I feel the shift that we’re facing
There’s not a thing to hold on to
When the road below is speeding
And we’ve come a way from home
Oh, we cannot bear repeating
What we’ve known
What we have known
We cannot bear repeating what we’ve known

Everything I Know (A. Paddick)
Everything I know is in this song
Everything I know
Everywhere I go, you come along
Everywhere I go
Every time I call I’m playing host
Every time I call
Every time I fall I see your ghost
Every time I fall
Everyone I meet is holding tight
Everyone I meet
Everybody’s street is dark at night
Everybody’s street
