Lyrics:

You say you cannot be my friend
But you don't know how much I'll lend
My voice to lift your spirits and
I'm never giving up
But still you hate the way I turn up
At your place, and while you burn up
I try to keep my hurt inside
Can't say I didn't try

Holding out
Holding out on me

You say it's all
about your soul
But I think you're a quitter and I'm saving you from yourself
You say you'll squall,
but save your call
And we'll blame it on a stupid conversation from the heart

You say you can't mean much to me
But you know what, it comes easy
I know that what you need right now
Is your very own best friend
Stop ignoring me right now
I'll take it for you anyhow
And if you doubt my chances, fair
I'm telling you they're good

Don't hold back
(Don't hold back)
Don't hold back these tears

You say it's all
about your soul
But I think you're a quitter and I'm saving you from yourself
You say you'll squall,
but save your call
And we'll blame it on a stupid conversation from the heart

No one will judge you if you climb down
Be what you want and just ignore the crowd
And I'll always be
there for you
Ooh
Oooh

You say it's all
about your soul
But I think you're a quitter and I'm saving you from yourself
You say you'll squall,
but save your call
And we'll blame it on a stupid conversation from the
heart

You say it's all
about your soul
But I think you're a quitter and I'm saving you from yourself
You say you'll squall,
but save your call
And we'll blame it on a stupid conversation from the heart

Lyrics:

I've never felt this way before
Life for once means something more
My head and heart have gone to war
Over you and your smile

You're not the reason why the sun shines
But you are the reason why I do
When I'm around your pretty face
Only the sky is blue

The grass grows green
with envy at you when you walk
I'm drowning in your eyes
I need a safety raft
To come on by

I don't know if this is love
I don't know if it will last
But you're an amber treasure glowing
You've put me in some kind of trance
My silver heart never stood a chance
You're an amber treasure glowing baby
Will you be my amber treasure glowing?

Before I met you, before it all
I was like a broken clock
I wouldn’t wined, and I couldn’t tick or tock
Time meant
nothin'
'til the night we both shared our first kiss
Then the time meant everything
when I had someone to miss
The grass grows deep
and heavy as I make my way
I could treat you like you are royalty
If only you knew

I don't know if this is love
I don't know if it will last
But you're an amber treasure glowing
You've put me in some kind of trance
My silver heart never stood a chance
You're an amber treasure glowing baby
Will you be my amber treasure glowing?

I lay my armour down for you
After all this time, it's time you knew
No sword held outward
No shield to hide the pain
I just wanted you right here to stay
My amber

I don't know if this is love
I don't know if it will last
But you're an amber treasure glowing
You've put me in some kind of trance
My silver heart never stood a chance
You're an amber treasure glowing baby
Oh, oh!
My amber treasure glowing
My amber treasure glowing
Will you be my amber treasure glowing?
Oh, oh, oh!


Amber Treasure Glowing

Lyrics:

Watch as I fall straight-up into the sky
I don’t even have time to cry
But the truth is I want to
Don’t think you love me, I wish that you could

If I were gone, then somebody should care
My life was grand, and you weren’t even there
At the end of the day I’ll
Turn to you for the comfort I need

But when will I
See your light?
Somebody still has to carry your flame
And I won’t do this alone

I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
It wasn’t my intention but I listened to my heart instead and
We were both doomed baby right from the start
The way I let you in and then the way you let me down again
But till the end
I will be your friend
Even if you never knew me
I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
The dark in you

Can I be yours even just for a day?
I’d go back to my life and say
That the time spent was worth it
And all the years left I’d be able to bear

Outwardly fine, while inside I’m a mess
I sometimes wonder if life’s a test
When the world all around me
Doesn’t seem to know I am there

So when can you
Bring me to
Something less painful and something more fair?
I want to see how we grow

I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
It wasn’t my intention but I listened to my heart instead and
We were both doomed baby right from the start
The way I let you in and then the way you let me down again
But till the end
I will be your friend
Even if you never knew me
I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
The dark in you

I hope you’re happy
Where you were sad
I hope for something
That I’ll never have
But seeing you here
It makes things so clear
That wishing’s the best thing I can do

I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
It wasn’t my intention but I listened to my heart instead and
We were both doomed baby right from the start
The way I let you in and then the way you let me down again
But till the end
I will be your friend
Even if you never knew me

Oh!

I fell in love with your ghost in the dark
The dark in you

Ghost in the Dark

Lyrics:

I wish I’d caught you in the nick of time
But I didn't as usual
You were sweet and lovely and oh so kind
It's in your attitude
I see you with her and she's so nice
But you're wasted on her
When there's something twice as good
I wish I could share my thoughts with you, you

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to take a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

I try not to ruin hopeful love
Between beautiful people
But I'm so lonely all the time
And I always think of you
You don't pick the people you love
They just come with some help
From up above
Am I a bad seed, or is something broken inside?

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to bag a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

If you weren't taken
I'd take you on a date
But for now I'll do nothing
Just wait
Should I wait?

Café Man, Café Man
What does it take to have a café man?
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am

Café Man
Café Man
Café Man, I'm sweet on you
But I'm always too shy to tell you
I may feel this slight burst
But you don't see me that way
I'll take you as you are
But don't hate me as I am
Café Man

Lyrics:

I hope you stop
Your negativity is killing me
This painful knot
of a love ain't keepin' me happy

I used to think we'd work out
You used to think so too
Then the world turned to dust and,
there's nothing I can do

I got my blue shades on
and I'm feeling right
Forgot my troubles with the whiskey and the black tooth grin last night
Now things ain't so bright
Suppose you want me back
when I'm feeling low
I might give in to you at first
but in the end I think you should know
That I'm going home

I only want
what's best for you, that's all I'll ever need
But no matter what,
I think deep down
you like what you have done to me

I didn't think we'd fade out
just like everyone we know
It's funny how things turn out
Just born to live and die

I got my blue shades on
and I'm feeling right
Forgot my troubles with the whiskey and the black tooth grin last night
Now things ain't so bright
Suppose you want me back
when I'm feeling low
I might give in to you at first
but in the end I think you should know
That I'm going home
But still my blue shades on
means I'm feeling right
And I don't miss you at all
and my blue shades shield the light

You don't remember so that's how it's gonna be
Next you will tell me that you didn't care for me

I got my blue shades on
and I'm feeling right
Forgot my troubles with the whiskey and the black tooth grin last night
Now things ain't so bright
Suppose you want me back
when I'm feeling low
I might give in to you at first
but in the end I think you should know
That I'm going home
But still my blue shades on
means I'm feeling right
And I don't miss you at all,
and my blue shade shield the light

Blue Shades

Lyrics:

Don't make me sing for my supper
I was drunk when I said it
Don't make me preach to my father
I was mad when I sent it
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
This feeling you've got me feeling
Deep inside
But I'd never trade it in
Never in my life

I don't want to be the one to
Tell you what's wrong with your story
Wrong with your story
Hold me
Tell me, I’m sorry

I don't want anyone to
Heal my heart
If I can feel it then it
Means it's a part of me
And God himself can't take it
You will find
You're the only one
You're the only one
And you make me so tired
You will find
You will find it
All around
All around
You will find him
You will find him
When you're not looking anymore

Don't take it up with my mother
She can't get it out of her head
All of the angels you tore apart
Are strewn on her bed
Daggers can't do much at this point
You wouldn't know how to use one anyway
It's time for solitude
Reading instead

I don't want to be the one to
Yell at you
What’s your story?
What’s your story?
Hold me
Tell me, I’m sorry

I don't want anyone to
Heal my heart
If I can feel it then it
Means it's a part of me
And God himself can't take it
You will find
You're the only one
You're the only one
And you make me so tired
You will find
You will find it
All around
All around
You will find me
You will find me
When you're not looking anymore

Waking at midnight
To fall back asleep
Forgetting to set my alarm makes me peek
Squinting through darkness to see my phone
All in a day's work
All in a day's work
All in a day's work

I don't want anyone to
Heal my heart
If I can feel it then you
Know it's real

I don't want anyone to
Heal my heart
If I can feel it then it
Means it's a part of me
And God himself can't take it
You will find
You're the only one
You're the only one
Who makes me so tired
You will find
You will find me
Ooh
When you’re not looking anymore
All around
All around
You will find me
You will find me
When you're not looking anymore
