LYRICS

The dust has settled on my oldest love
Remember how you won and lost my trust
I let it lie I won’t pick up the phone
Now I am resolute as stone

I’ll bury my love now
The pressure of time will turn this
Stone to a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond

I wonder what it’s like to fill with light
Become the alchemist, love requite
I let it lie I walk the mines alone
Now I am resolute as stone

I’ll bury my love now
The pressure of time will turn this
Stone to a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond

Diamond

Held

HELD

Metre

Flux

To me this song is what sunrise sounds like.  
The gentle whistles are remnants of the night letting go.  
The synth pads are the wash of light that gradually lifts the shadows from the earth.  Beams of light reach over the crest of a mountain
And dance through the leaves of a tree in a gentle wind.
The warmth permeates the world again.
The day has arrived.

Rise

The Door

Snow

Gatehouse

Exhale

----LYRICS-----

The dust has settled on my oldest love
Remember how you won and lost my trust
I let it lie I won’t pick up the phone
Now I am resolute as stone
I let it settle, settle down
I let it go
I let it settle, settle down

I’ll bury my love now
The pressure of time will turn this
Stone to a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond

I wonder what it’s like to fill with light
Become the alchemist, love requite
I let it lie I walk the mines alone
Now I am resolute as stone
I let it settle, settle down
I let it go
I let it settle, settle down

I’ll bury my love now
The pressure of time will turn this
Stone to a diamond
To a diamond
To a diamond

For You xoxo

----LYRICS----

Night pulled over the horizon, 
Tight dress, bright lips illuminate
Surge price never gets low
Home to my left, road to my right
Streams of light snake their way along leading me out into 

The arms of a stranger
Don’t tell me I’ll regret it
I don’t want someone to keep
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night
For one night
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night
Dark rooms filling with hungry hearts, 
She stands there with a half filled glass
Reaching for her phone
Glance to her left, swipe to her right 
Drink it down call another round hoping she’ll lose herself in the 

The arms of a stranger
Don’t tell me I’ll regret it
I don’t want someone to keep
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night
For one night
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night

I know when temptation calls me to return, oh I yearn, for you
This time I’m not waiting for the fall, I’ll run, I’ll run, I’ll run, I’ll run

The arms of a stranger
Don’t tell me I’ll regret it
I don’t want someone to keep
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night
For one night
Cause a light won’t burn out if you only know it for one night

----LYRICS----

Step off the train
Walking down your street again
Past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
Look up at your house
I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Back on the train, I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess, I've been hanging round your old address?
The years have proved
To offer nothing since you've moved
You're long gone, but I can't move on

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain (yeah I miss you)

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (I miss you)
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain (like the deserts miss the rain)
like the deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) and I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) oh, how I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)

----LYRICS----

Do you believe in love, falling at first sight
I felt my heart miss a beat
When I caught your eye
And in that moment I hoped you’d be mine tonight
So get a little closer to me
Come on dance! 

Though we’re perfect strangers
I know in my heart that we can 
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love 
Here at this party 
I know in my heart that we can
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love 

Yeah everyone needs love 
Yeah everyone needs love
 						               (Come on dance!)
I know you felt the spark.                     (When we get old I hope you still hold me tight)
I’m glad I took the chance 	               (Stars in our eyes are perfectly aligned)
I know your from Hobart			(When we get old I hope you still hold me tight)
But I still wanna dance 			        (Come on dance!)

Though we’re perfect strangers
I know in my heart that we can 
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love 
Here at this party 
I know in my heart that we can
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love		(Come on dance!)	
Yeah everyone needs love			(Come on dance!)					Yeah everyone needs love			(Come on dance!)	
Yeah everyone needs love

Waiting after dark
Sharp arrows hitting the mark
Keeping our own time
Come on darling hold the line		(Come on dance!)	
Souls getting down
Beat strong when you’re around
Moving in a trance				
Get on up				                (Come on dance!)	
Come on dance

Though we’re perfect strangers
I know in my heart that we can 
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love 
Here at this party 
I know in my heart that we can
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs…

Though we’re perfect strangers
I know in my heart that we can 
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love 
Here at this party 
I know in my heart that we can
dance and we can be happy
You know everyone needs love

For You

----LYRICS----

When it rained you were there
To soothe my hungry heart
I took the blame
You weren’t scared
We both felt it right 
From the start

So how did you get so sad
Why did you have to make me so mad
Now I’ll never understand
And why did you think i would be alright
Living without your light
Well you didn’t want to fight for our love

When did you stop
When did you stop 
When did you stop thinking I was good enough

When you gave me a chance
I promised I’d be true to you
But I got bored with this game
I felt so lonely here
In this place

There’s gotta be more to life
I’m going out of my mind 
Waiting for you to let me go
Why can’t you see we are all worn out
There’s nothing to talk about
I’ve found my easy way out 
So just let me go

(Keep falling, keep falling, keep falling)
When did you stop thinking I was good enough
(Keep falling)
When did you stop
(Keep falling)
When did you stop
(Keep falling)
When did you stop thinking I was good enough

When did you stop
When did you stop 
When did you stop thinking I was good enough to love

If you can’t it, I can’t keep going
I’m not gonna keep you from falling
(Keep falling, keep falling, keep falling)
If you can’t it, I can’t keep going
(Keep falling, keep falling, keep falling)
I’m not gonna keep you from falling

Can’t keep going
I’m not gonna keep you from falling

Good Enough

Lyrics:

You are wandering
Far from home
Searching for courage
To let your feelings known
And I am waiting here
As patient as a stone
But you’re not ready
Ready to be alone

Oh you really need to find yourself
Out there
Oh you really need to ask yourself
What do you fear
Cause you can’t keep waiting
For me to let you go

You are wondering
What will happen to your home
How will you divide 
My life from your own

Oh you really need to find yourself
Out there - You were already here
Oh you really need to ask yourself
What do you fear - There’s no need, no need to fear
I’m already here
I’m already here
And I can’t keep waiting
No I can’t keep waiting
No I can’t keep waiting

Can't Keep Waiting

Lyrics:

It isn't time that pins you here
The sunlight whispers in your ear
As we look up the soil is red
Silver eyes the needles thread

Oh a million suns
Our restless candle lights us
Back to where the dark comes from
Red kisses on our faces

The hollow breathe delays the thought
As we look up at restless caught
She holds it in her tiny hand
And asks the moon to understand

Oh a million suns
Our restless candle lights us
Back to where the dark comes from
Red kisses on our faces

Oh a million suns
Our restless candle lights us
Back to where the dark comes from
Red kisses on our faces

Lyrics:

Restless hands raking your jeans
I don’t wanna know what this means
Honest words got you choking
Say you’re leaving
Are you joking
So move out if you have doubts
I won’t stay here in this house
You’re plans all you care about
Your endless need emptied me out

All my friends ask if I’d ever go back to you
I held on so long that I became the fool
I loved you so long but I’m never going back to you

How’d I get so lost in you
Let myself become the fool

Up late cleaning
Out at shows
Hide the hurt I can’t un-know
Text me if he’s in the paper
Don’t wanna know if he’s ok
I’ll move out
Disown my doubt
I won’t stay here in this house
My plans all I care about
I’m finally free to say it

All my friends ask if I’d ever go back to you
I held on so long that I became the fool
I loved you so long but I’m never going back to you

How’d I get so lost in you
Let myself become the fool

Become The Fool

-- LYRICS --

I was always keeping it safe
Checking every step before I made it
Lately I’ve been feeling more reckless
Could it be from the machine in my chest
Pounding out a rhythm 
I am superhuman

I would always keep my head straight
Till I found out all my parts were fading
Take em off now turn them into light
Shine em in your eyes doesn’t matter what you say
I’m never going back
I am superhuman
And I’m never going back
I am superhuman

Ooo...Ohhh
Ooo...Ohhh

Stronger than I felt before
Everything in me is rearranging 
Braver cause I now know what I’m here for
No longer confused power to diffuse circuits running fast now
I am superhuman
And I’m never going back
I am superhuman
Ooo...Ohhh

There are so many things inside my head
Patterns running deep I can’t get no sleep
Gotta find a way to reprogram my heart
Happens every time I go to bed
Pictures from my past coming thick and fast
Only way to break the cycle is to run as hard as I hard as I can
I am superhuman
I am superhuman
I am superhuman
I am superhuman
I am superhuman

Superhuman

-- LYRICS --

At first we were so close it felt like your success was mine
Didn’t factor in the risk of hiding in your light
They told me love’s a sacrifice 
Shrunk my ambition small
Became the least important half of a slowly dying whole

I let
Myself
Lie low
Be less

Slowly waking up I've been cocooned and insecure
Shed beliefs about myself I now know just aren’t true
My lonely foot falls twice the weight of light steps by your side
What I did for you
Now I do in spite

I let
Myself
Lie low
Be less

Be less
Be less
Be less

No!!

No I won’t 
hold it in
No I won’t 
Won’t bow out now for anything
