Dark room, wide eyes
I can’t fall asleep tonight
Lean in heartthrob
thoughts of you keep me awake
Gentle fingers cascading over my skin
Did you take my stomach? cos I feel you in my chest

Touching closer than semitone keys on a board
Be still, restless heart
I just wanna look at you
Captivating lady put your hand in mine
and kiss me like you know it’s the last time we’ll kiss

Oh Amy, you do something to me
ohhhh
Oh Amy, you do something to me

Same room, dark night
I guess i’ll stay awake tonight
Leaned in too close
and you just ran right out my sight
Gentle fingers pushing hard against the chest
you made beat all for you just the other night

Oh Amy, you do something to me
ohhhh
Oh Amy, you do something to me Oh Amy, you do something to me
ohhhh
Oh Amy, you do something to me

Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Cos I could love you if you let me
Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Don’t you wanna be loved, don’t you wanna be?
Cos I could love you if you let me
If you let me

Hush, hush
Speakeasy
you're dressed up like it's 1920
hiding behind your disguise
in a basement filled with liquor and a girl

Am I old fashioned? 
You're dissolving my spirit
with your persistence in stirring the ice
This prohibition exists for a reason
but that doesn't stop you from taking what you want

If I could have spoken easily
If I could have spoken easily
If I could have spoken easily
If I could have spoken easily

If I could have spoken easily
You would see
Time and time again i'd still say no
Tell yourself those lies
I can see behind your eyes
You may hide but I know what you are

Speakeasy

Do you think of the one who can't walk around
without fearing her world at the hint of a sound?
Consider how she thinks, a new lack of trust
The time it will take to heal recovering from disgust

You will save his life while she goes through hell
Tell me who you would rather protect

You voice your preference of the man you will save
without giving a thought to the one who was maimed
Honestly, I can't see what there is to gain
from ruthlessly protecting the one who's to blame
cos there's only one to blame

You will save his life while she goes through hell
Out on good behaviour, he'll leave his cell
You will save his life while she goes through hell
Tell me who you would rather protect

You will save his life while she goes through hell
Out on good behaviour, he'll leave his cell
You will save his life while she goes through hell
Tell me who you would rather protect
You will save his life while she goes through hell
Out on good behaviour, he'll leave his cell
You will save his life while she goes through hell
Tell me who you would rather protect

Good Behaviour

I can see
all these mirrors haunting me
wishing I could break the glass
that reminds me of my past
In my mind, I was trying to be kind
But I know I lost myself in the waves of my emotions

There are oceans forming mirrors in the tide 
and there's no room to hide
these reflections colour who you are inside

Don't we know everybody makes mistakes
I am no exception here, compromising what I hold dear
Use your sight, fight against what you don't like
Let the waves break against you
Mould you in to someone you do

There are oceans forming mirrors in the tide 
and there's no room to hide
these reflections colour who you are inside

There are oceans forming mirrors in the tide 
and there's no room to hide
these reflections colour who you are inside

Mirrors

Courting A Criminal

Lyrics:

A neon sign couldn't light up my mind
the way they did Christmas fayre, '99
I took you there thinkin' we'd have a good time

You wanted candy floss and carousels
but I gave you action men and ferris wheels
I pushed you in to how I thought you should feel

I'm faced with something I don't understand
but you know yourself better than I can
maybe i'm aching for the freedom you have

I just want you to be who you are
you belong here
I just want you to be who you are
you belong here
you belong here

Flickering lights, blue, pink and white
left over from a vigil here tonight
we shouldn't be here, she was too young to die

They stir up hate, you just want a life
to light up birthday candles past age 35
I really want you to do more than survive

I just want you to be who you are
you belong here
I just want you to be who you are
you belong here
you belong here

I feel like i'm seeing you for the first time
though I have been greeting you for your whole life
I feel like i'm seeing you for the first time
though I have been greeting you for your whole life

You Belong Here

Lyrics:

I fell for you so easily
You’ve got your guard up
Baby, take all the time you need
To let this wall down

I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give you love
I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give it to you

I know it’s hard to let me in
But I’ve got patience
I’ll wait as long as it takes you to trust
I know you’re worth it

I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give you love
I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give it to you

Let the walls down, let it fall down
Let it down baby, let yourself fall for me
Let the walls down, let it fall down
Let it down baby, let yourself fall for me

I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give you love
I wouldn’t have promised you love
If I couldn’t give it to you
