LYRICS

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

So you heard all about me and you didn’t ask, yeah? 
Let’s hope you ain’t sleeping in the second half 
Maybe deep down you get it
Maybe only God knows

And what’s with all these pretences? 
I really wanna, do the work and let it grow now
Coz we’ve got a lot to show
Whether or not you try to stop it

Oh, out of sight, out of mind
It never mattered
If you can get ‘em on your side
That’s all that matters, yeah 

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
If you’re scared, hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move on and let it go now

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move slow and let it grow now 

I can’t pretend I didn’t sit around and wait
Had my head screwed on backwards trying to find a way out
But I can see clearly now
And I’m astounded 
Try to stay grounded but…

You were wrong about me 
You were wrong about me 

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
Don’t you dare hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

Look how far I’ve come
You were wrong to leave me alone
If you’re scared, hold my hand
You were wrong to leave me alone

LYRICS

We’ve all been on the other side trying to get in
So why you hanging off us like a swing?
So why you hanging off us like a swing?
We’ve all been on the other side trying to get in
So why you turning on us like a switch?
So why you turning on us like a switch?

We’ve got all this rage, keep contained
Gotta let it out
But you’re thinking ‘bout your face
how to save it
It won’t work no more

We’ve all been on the other side trying to get in
So why you hanging off us like a swing?
So why you hanging off us like a swing?

Give up
Hold up
We’re waiting…
There’s a lot that you won’t understand
And you’re lucky to ask

Don’t act surprised
We’ve always been here
Working twice as hard
For half as much
Still I’m the lucky one
And it’s all in my head
You can’t say nothing no more
It’s all the same

*if you don’t know by now* x8

We’ve all been on the other side trying to get in
So why you hanging off us like a swing?
So why you hanging off us like a swing?
We’ve all been on the other side trying to get in
So why you turning on us like a switch?
So why you turning on us like a switch?

LYRICS:

You can change the colour
red or blue or amber
drown the sound with laughter
think about it for days after

but the rest is out of my hands

‘cause you can’t put out this fire
you can’t put out this fire

I watch it burn the fabric
my body is still, static
but I can’t relay what I’ve seen
‘cause I can’t touch the source
I just watch from afar

I’m tired of the smell of smoke, 
hanging in the air too long

but you can’t put out this fire
you can’t put out this fire
you can’t put out this fire

water water water x6

You Can't Put Out This Fire

LYRICS:

Everybody sees in three directions
at least that's what I've been told
every story comes from two directions
do you know which side you're on?

Every time that you apologised,
did you really think you were wrong?
All this time you've had to compromise
and you've known it all along

So trust me, please

Things could be better for you
things could be better for you I'm sure
Things could be better for you
Things could be better, better, better please

No one really knows what they're a part of
tim it finally spits them out
I can't say that I'll be there for you
but I will route for you somehow

Trust me

Things could be better for you
things could be better for you I'm sure
Things could be better for you
Things could be better, better, better please

LYRICS:

Wisdom it befalls you, uhuh
you make decisions easily
symmetry of spirit lives right where you are

Don’t forget to take it with you, 
wherever you go
and careful with that wizardry you have on me 

I was haunted before
I was haunted before

Can’t act like its a mystery 
in and out, close my eyes
everyday 

Distance from those visions
reminiscing on the times I couldn’t wait 
and I still go back sometimes

I was haunted before
I was haunted before
I was haunted before
I was haunted before

and I still go back sometimes
still go back sometimes

Haunted

Is this the way it starts now,
Lighting fires in our bedrooms?
Can't hear a word I'm thinking now
and no one else wants to

I crack my focus open tangibly
this shit ain't fiction just 'cause you don't believe
these words go so far from home
and you don't know how the others will receive it

oh oh oh oh oh

Is this the way it starts now,
Lighting fires in our bedrooms?
Can't hear a word I'm thinking now
and no one else wants to

All these scattered pieces of your mind
maybe you helped someone see the light
these words go so far from home
and you don't know how the others will receive it 

Is this the way it starts now,
Lighting fires in our bedrooms?
Can't hear a word I'm thinking now
and no one else wants to


oh oh oh oh 

All these scattered pieces of your mind
maybe you helped someone see the light

Lighting Fires

LYRICS:

Who hit my nerve?
it feels like somebody has hurt me
you got some nerve
the world still turns and you sound just like a baby
maybe I’m trying to resist reality
lately it’s been only the future I can see
some day you’ll learn
my mother said eventually I’d get my turn

I guess I’m still my mother’s baby
trying to find my feet
I’m still my mother’s baby
to everyone I meet
when everyone said maybe, she said definitely 
don’t let them call you crazy

What do you believe?
the man upstairs can deal with everything you need
now I don’t speak, when she asks me
before, she wouldn’t let me leave til I agreed

She said
”your brother’s watching you
and he does the things you do, do, do, do”

I guess I’m still my mother’s baby
trying to find my feet
I’m still my mother’s baby
to everyone i meet 
when everyone said maybe, she said definitely 
don’t let them call you crazy

Still My Mother's Baby

LYRICS:

all they wanted was the truth from you
but its your life, no one can make you choose 
not even if they want to
not even if they need you

oh my father, he never wanted me to go
we still talk now and then
too good at spending time alone
that it makes me uncomfortable
i’ve seen behind the curtain now

little by little by little (x4)
everything is clearer than it’s ever been before (X2)

all they wanted was the truth from you
you took them for a ride

i am the only one who can change it
stop building it up and relay it
no i’m not asking for help
i have seen behind the curtain now

little by little by little (x4)
everything is clearer than it’s ever been before (X2)

Little by Little by Little
