Take my hand and we'll run away - they made it clear that we don't have to stay, so let's jump in and live through our hearts. We may be in the gutter but we're looking at the stars.

Don't be scared; they won't find us now. We'll build a barricade and keep them out somehow. I have faith that we can make it through. I may be in the gutter but I'm looking up at you.

And I don't know where we belong when all the odds have come out wrong. Let's stay here together, we can build our shelter better when the gutter feels like home.

Journey back to the time when we were young: chasing shooting stars, the night was ours until we saw the sun. We never needed anyone to be our guide. We may have been the outcasts but we laughed until we cried.

So we'll sing our song, despite our fears, move through the years and we'll carry on through wind and rain, we'll start again and the road is long, but you and me, we're meant to be. We are strong.

Behind Blue Eyes (The Who cover)

One evening in the autumn time flying down the West Coast line, my lovely neighbour caught my eye with an aura quite sublime. You had a few years on me which I know that you could see but don't let that steal the scene from everything that we could be. 

I'm not one to hesitate nor do I tend to procrastinate but the binding air we seemed to share had me scared to tempt our fate. That momentary touch of shoes, the passing graze of your tailored suit, my very being surrounded you and I know you felt it too.

Please don't think me absurd, just rest assured you'll be heard if you want to be, love. Tell me if I'm out of place - I know life isn't a race but I think the time has come. Just give me some indication of the smallest inclination because we're passing every station and I need to know.

To know if this abnormality could become a reality - let's forego formalities and not deny what we both know. Movement calls, I take a breath; I feel you watch my every step. Just take this chance before we forget and wake up aching with regret.

The train slows down, I feel profound - I am ready to speak now. Despite my fears, I've never been more clear - you're all I want my darling dear. I move with haste but I am too late - you have departed at the gate.

I'm not sad, I'll be just fine because I know we'll meet again in time and when I think of you I know I'll fly down the West Coast line.

West Coast Line

Bittersweet memories of us distract my mind, escape the lines and leave me in the dust. It's been too long since I've felt this strong and I can't waste any more time because through persistency, I have set myself free and I am taking back what's mine.

I'm safely locking our loving away; you've lost your authority to make me stay.

I break the news and it's all too soon for you. You sing your song, tell me I've got it wrong because that's all you know how to do. And in your eyes I see you don't realise that there's a fire stoked inside of me. I will see this through and it will not involve you - I know it's hard but you better believe.

Though I've been burnt, I'll come out fighting from this war. I'm ready, it's over, start over again. Though I've been burnt, I'll come back stronger than before. I'm ready, it's over, start over again.

You gave me hope and saved me but this heart won't beat on demand. Without you I'll take my time to find a ground on which to stand.

Stay

You, you're the first taste of sin to draw me in. Give me a clue because this thirst is like I've never known and I'm so far from home. 

Love to me is a stranger. I have always danced alone but I'm intrigued by your sense of danger. Please be careful with me - I'm just skin and bone. I dance on my own.

Take, take me in; I'm ready now to shake the ground. Sweet mistake, I'll never win. You can take your leave now that your heart's on my sleeve.

Skin & Bone

I struggle with the simple fact that human is all I'll ever be and I'm just trying to stay in tact before I lose my matter to the sea. Safety comes in different forms; I'm eager to lock myself way. You can't help but hold the fort - eventually everything must fade but I'll let it slide.

Our love is an empty house and I'm waiting inside.

I fall in a perfect way - I never have a choice to make. I crash into this tidal wave that I unintentionally create. It sweeps the sand from under me and I'm left a mess I just can't seem to clean, but then you sail into my vicinity and lift me up to all that I can be. And I confide.

And so I drift on through your atmosphere, close my eyes and whisper in your ear, 'I succumb, I'll let you steer. I've never felt as safe as I do here.' I drift into a minor sleep where nothing but your voice can bring me round. I understand the certainty as my roots begin to settle in the ground where I reside.

Empty House (with Ali Ingle)

City lights; I enjoy the ride. A place so pretty - tell me, am I silly to want this for my own? Are my seeds already sown? Just a girl in a different world captured by the stars, collecting them in a jar. This is all moving so fast; I'm not sure if it was built to last.

That's okay, I'll keep on singing anyway. Tomorrow is another day and whatever comes my way, I have my little jar full of stars safe and sound next to my guitar in the hope that they won't fade away.

An exciting air, buzzing here and there. I truly can't believe that this is all for me and in this moment now, the moon seems to slow down. And then the lights appear - hello world, I'm here. Will you be my stage? I'll show you if I may a harmony or two but if that's not enough for you...

The beams, they fall away in a bittersweet cascade and I am left alone if not reprieved. Don't worry, I'm not fussed as my dreams turn into dust because I have a little secret up my sleeve.

I feel just great, I'll keep on learning either way. Tomorrow is a brand new day and whatever comes my way, I have my little jar full of stars safe and sound next to my guitar. Next to me they'll always stay, even when I'm old and grey, they won't fade away.
