You said to me once, love doesn't just stop. But how can it keep going when you're not around? You were in love, I'm pretty sure of that. But somehow you fell out, you fell out. You said it wasn't my fault, that it wasn't personal but how can it not be me when I was all you had? You were in love, I'm pretty sure of that. But somehow you fell out, you fell out. You said to me once, but you were wrong. You were wrong, and now you're gone. Do you understand? I don't know if you can. I don't know if you can. Do you see what happened? You shutdown, you shutdown. You said let's be friends oh let's stay in touch. But how can we stay in touch when you don't talk? You were in love, I'm pretty sure of that. But somehow you fell out, you fell out.

You leave your shoes in the hall. You leave your coat on the door. You tell me this is what you wanted and more, so why do I believe you? You go to fix us a drink. Whilst you lie down on the sofa, you’re still trying it on. You’re still thinking it over. So why don’t I believe you? How did we let this get this far? You’re dimming the lights. You’re drawings the curtains. Will this happen tonight? You seem so certain, so why don’t I believe you? You put my hand on your chest just to feel your heart. I see your eyes digress, is this how we start? And I’m dying to believe you. I don’t believe you. How did we let this get this far and why did you say those words that I knew you never meant, because I took them all to heart and this just made less sense. I’m dying to just leave here. Girl, girl, you know you shouldn’t be here, you could say no and make it so much easier. You spoke to me when I was all on my own, would it be wrong if I didn’t go along with it? Boy, boy is this, what it comes to? Don’t play around like you know you didn’t want it to, you knew her friend was on her way to meet me. I’m dying to just leave here. Can we leave it this time? Maybe just not tonight. Lets not and say we did, if could be all right but there’ll never believe us, no, I’d never believe us.

Philadelphia 03:35
Global warming is getting me down. It's making the sea between us wider and deeper. Now I'm not Moses and I don't know how to split up the ocean and drive right on over. I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia. Now the sun is shining it's catching my eye and there's still so much work to do and I just want to call you. But even on the phone it's not like life. Oh I want you here now, I want you around. I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia. Now you're in Israel having a good time. All I get is the odd email saying you're fine. I could catch a plane but I'm pretty broke and I don't want to make things worse than they already are. You could come here but I know you won't it's not in your nature to travel that far. I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia.

Sat in the kitchen with a friend, she's heartbroken. Faced with lies and betrayal, she wants to do it all again. I said 'is that the kind of trouble you want to get into?' She said 'no', she said 'sleeping with the enemy, sleeping with the hired help, seducing friends of the family, and flirting with anyone else. Oh that's the kind of trouble I want to get into'. I said 'oh, do you really want to go down that road?' She said 'I don't know'. 'Sure beats sitting in the pick-up at night, crying your eyes out'. Yeah.
5.
You're only fifteen, what was I thinking? Lying in your bed going 'this isn't happening'. On your side you are just too damn attractive. In your eyes I watch you see inside my head. But this isn't right, I don't want to have to stay the night. Six hours of my life just wanting you. You're only fifteen, why did you have to start drinking. Why didn't I see? When you started sinking. I apologise for not warning you about those men. I've told you twice, I don't want to have to tell you again. But this isn't right, I don't want to have to stay the night. Six hours of my life, just wanting you. I'm only twenty two I still don't know what it is that I'm supposed to do. My only mercy is that you never knew.
6.
Let's get back together. I don't want to lose you ever again. Well I could tell you liked me last time that I saw you. I know that it's complicated I just want to talk to you. When we locked eyes last Friday, I've been so heartbroken since you went away. I hope it didn't freak you out when I met your ex-girlfriend. You know that I'd drop everything all you have to do is say when. We can have it your way you hold all the cards. I'm just trusting you not to tear me apart. I know you like a lot of girls I won't be an intrusion but one day you're bound to get disillusioned and when that day comes oh I'll be right here. I don't care if it takes five, ten, fifteen, twenty five years.

I said “I don’t know her” but I knew her all along, she asked me for ID but she knew who I was, we act like strangers just for fun, she said I’m the best she’s ever done but only we know. You’re not love sick, it’s not public, you’re not lovesick because I said so. We go out at night but we don’t speak to eachother, she walks straight on by so not to blow our cover. I don’t know what is going on, we’re not doing anything wrong but only we know. You’re not lovesick, it’s not public, you’re not lovesick because I said so. This is so hot! Where do we go from here? I don’t know what gave you this idea. I want more than this! don’t you want to be more than just my secret little sweetwhore? We stay at your place and we just talk away, but then how can you say “lets get married tomorrow!” when only we know?
8.
Say you don't want anything. Say you don't want to be here. Say you don't want anything from me. Say you don't want to do this. I know it's hard, being apart, do you know that it's not going to last forever? My favourite thing, Saturday /Sunday morning, dancing with you, in the living room. I know it's hard, being apart, do you know that it's not going to last forever? Say you just want everything. Say you just want to be here. Say you just want everything from me. Say you just want to do this.

Married 03:11
I always said that it was you I'd marry. Of all the times I'd said I do it was you it was you I'd marry. Now I've found a love I can believe in. I know that we'll stay together past the honeymoon period. I always thought that it was you I'd end up with. Of all the people I'd been through it was you I'd end up with. Now I've found someone I can get serious about. I know that we'll stay together when the chips are down. Oh. I always dreamed that that it was you who'd come back to me. Of all the lovers left on cue it was you who'd come back to me. Now I find there's this warmth when I get home every night. Something clicks and I know it's all going to be alright. There comes a time we have to choose between what we desire what we're prepared to lose. I must say I'm going to stay with this beautiful life I've been given. I always said that it was you I'd marry.

Drag me out, because I’m down and I could do with a drink now. He got out, so big wow but, well, I’m wishing I was him now. I’ve no time for this skyline and I wish I could leave for just one night, so if I don’t get the tones of your anecdotes wont you please, just let me go. Because she’s holding me back, making my friends lose contact, I want to say but she won’t let me say. She’s cutting the edges of my paper heart into corners, before she tears it apart. So where shall we go to after? Because we’re getting older so much faster and im glad that we drink so hard because im ready to take this way too far.

Dancing 03:49
I know we fell out, don't let it get you down. I know I made a fool of you, I didn't mean to. I know I made you cry with all those secrets and lies but I'm just so glad we stayed and didn't leave in such a bad way. There's always gonna come a time when we don't know the answers, always gonna come a time when we should just go dancing. Oh dancing. I know you got drunk, tried to kiss someone. I remember how shocked I felt, I think you shocked yourself. I didn't leave you like that though it took all the strength I had. There's always gonna come a time when we don't know the answers, always gonna come a time when we should just go dancing. Oh dancing. Ooh don't give up, don't quit, don't do it. Do you remember when we met? How I made you upset? Do you remember you gave me another try? I knew better than to ask why. Do you remember all the good times we've had? Don't they outweigh one or two of the bad? There's always gonna come a time when we don't know the answers, always gonna come a time when we should just go dancing. Oh dancing.

Be In To Us 02:26
Be into us, be in to us because it takes two to get tangled up in love and my body can’t handle us breaking up. So breath life into us or at least believe in us. Surrounded by my friends you left me crying in the nightclub, I asked you come but you stood me up. You say that we’ve lost our spark, well, its just a small part, its just how we start. Gaze in, explore, remember what we came here for. You wrote those words with the magnets on the fridge door, the letters are still there but you don’t write it anymore. So take us for what we are because you took all that we were. Now I propose, that we push to make it work, but you pull away and I’m left hurt. Be into us. Be in to us! Because it takes two to get tangled up in love and my body can’t handle us breaking up. You say that we’ve lost our spark, well, it’s just a small part, it’s just how we start.

Wow 03:33
Wow, you have such a big house and you seem so normal! I don't know what you see in me. Oh, you look so good right now! I feel so awful, I don't even know what it is I'm trying to be. This could really lead somewhere. This could really go somewhere. I, I don't want to get you down. I think you know that. I think you know what it is I'm trying to do. So, you keep me around because I show that I only ever wanted the best for you. This could really lead somewhere. This could really go somewhere. Now, you take a look around. Say, what do you see? Do you see something better than what we had? How are you going to look at me knowing what you've done. Knowing I'd forgive anything except that. This could really have gone somewhere. This could really have led somewhere. Say, why do you have to treat me so unfair? Oh, tell me who's that girl standing over there?
