LYRICS

I want to find out how you feel
When no-one really wants to know
When they’re not ready yet to see
Well you should let your colours show

You got skills but it seems
Hid away within your room
You rely on the dreams
That one day may come true

Take a look at me
Draw me from the crowd 	
Picture us complete	
I’d love to stick around 	

When every movement leaves a stain
But no-one outside gives a damn
Maybe you need to brush away
The things inside that get you down

In a space on your settee
Picking out your coloured pens
Filling shapes nice and neat
I’ll be your portrait of a friend

Take a look at me	
Draw me from the crowd 			
Picture us completed	
I’d love to stick around

Take a look at me	
Draw me from the crowd 			
Picture us completed	
I’d love to stick around
Take a look at me

Take a Look

LYRICS

Ooh you’re caught in a moment
Lasting a lifetime
I’ll throw you a lifeline
Reach out for me
I’m getting to know you
I wanted to show you
There’s always another way	

You expect I’ll walk away
Cause I don’t say that much
But you’re drowning in the waves
And that’s why I disobey

You read me as tied up	
Fed up and fried up	
It’s not true		
I’m always into you		
Always into you

Ooh you’re caught in a moment
Lasting a lifetime
I’ll throw you a lifeline
Reach out for me
I’m getting to know you
I wanted to show you
There’s always another way

Only here with me today
You’ll get bored of me you say
But when you’re swallowing the seas
I won’t let you slip away           

We don’t need to break it
You give it I’ll take it
Cause it’s true
I’m always into you
Always into you

Mmm we don’t need a showdown	
We just need to slow down
I’ll show you what I mean
Show you show you
Let me be the one who dives right in

Caught in a moment
Lasting a lifetime
I’ll throw you a lifeline
Reach out for me
Getting to know you
I wanted to show you
There’s always another way
Reach out for me

Caught in a moment
Lasting a lifetime
I’ll throw you a lifeline
Reach out for me
Getting to know you
I wanted to show you
There’s always another way
Reach out for me
Reach out for me
Reach out for me

Reach Out

LYRICS

What can I do today				
To make the world a better place 	
What can I do					
To make up for mistakes			
What can I even say				
To make our problems go away		
Yeah there’s some-one else		
Is that OK?					

I’m all out of reasons				
To run away from playing a part		
Making up the truth and			
Waking up with you				
Find myself with new love in my heart	

You’re the one I needed		
All that I adore				
You’re the one I’ve				
Always waited for
You’re the one I needed		
All that I adore				
You’re the one I’ve				
Always waited for

I know you hate the lies
I asked a friend for good advice
She said you’d never wanna 
Trust me twice
We’re stronger than we know
We could just see how it goes
Learn to live with this
Is that a no?

Coz I’m all out of reasons
To run away from playing a part
Find myself with new life in my arms 

You’re the one I needed	
All that I adore
You’re the one I’ve
Always waited for
You’re the one I needed	
All that I adore
You’re the one I’ve
Always waited for

You’re the one I needed	
The one I needed
You’re the one I’ve
Always waited for
The one I needed
The one I needed

The One I Needed

LYRICS

Drives me crazy
Wild at night and sleep all day
Playing venues
Drinking holes that barely pay
Miles between us
Messages the weekday forgetting how to speak day
Tired of waiting
To step out of the airplane hold you in my arms again 

You can’t let me fly again		
Or lose my way in Tarragona		
Build a new life on the ground 	
It’s where I wanna be		
Coz I don’t wanna be			

Blue			
Blue									

Indications
I should to be with you instead and
Yeh you’ve been patient
Better than my new best friend
Take it easy
Picking up the home straight coming back a week late
Please forgive me
All the hours travelling worrying where I have been

You can’t let me fly again		
Or lose my way in Tarragona		
Build a new life on the ground 	
It’s where I wanna be		
Coz I don’t wanna be			

Blue			
Blue						
Blue 

Hey, you OK?
I know
Yeh, I’m on my way now
I’m coming home


You can’t let me fly again		
Or lose my way in Tarragona		
Build a new life on the ground 	
It’s where I wanna be
Where I wanna be

You can’t let me fly again		
Or lose my way in Tarragona		
Build a new life on the ground 	
It’s where I wanna be

Tarragona Blue

A dark but glorious tale of the emotional dangers of seeking new love too soon.

LYRICS

You should see the lights this evening
But you won’t know what I mean
I’m not stopping at the crossroad
Signals my side they all on green
Getting over you was so hard
Maybe it’s all a little soon
City moves in tighter spaces
This is what I gotta do

I’m wasting my time
If I can’t get you
Out of my mind

I’m here to dance with a beautiful stranger
Here to dance in a beautiful world
I’m here to dance with a beautiful stranger
Here to dance in beautiful world

Hear the sound get in closer
Fantasies are kicking in
Bass is up and shaking the body
Join the crowd’s adrenaline

And these are the signs
That I will get you
Out of my mind

I’m here to dance with a beautiful stranger
Here to dance in a beautiful world
I’m here to dance with a beautiful stranger
Here to dance in a beautiful world

I’m here to dance with a beautiful stranger 
Here to dance in a beautiful world
I'm well aware of the emotional danger
Here’s to dance in a beautiful world

LYRICS

Words are going in
Under my skin
A tingling feeling been
Following me all day
Crossing the bridge
To a new location
 
I see you standing there
Snowflakes in the air
We're meeting to the sound
Of the cars flowing down below
Streetlights are lonely
Only wake at night

Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
 
So let’s make this the start
No longer strangers now
Kissing in the park
So glad that I’m with you
Dancing in the dark
No longer strangers now
Hold each other close
It’s automatic
 
Pushing through the crowd
Heading back in town
Gimme a ring
If you’re thinking of the sound we made
Streetlights are lonely
Only wake at night
 
What was that about
Instead of sitting down
We were lying on a bench
With our feet still on the floor
And hearing your heart
Like a faint vibration
 
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
 
So let’s make this the start
No longer strangers now
Kissing in the park
So glad that I’m with you
Dancing in the dark
No longer strangers now
We hold each close
It’s automatic
 
Like you’re singing like you’re singing when you kiss me
When you’re moving with your la-la-la, la-la-lips
When you say it when you say it with your warm words
When you’re moving I want more like this yeah

Like you’re singing like you’re singing when you kiss me
When you’re moving with your la-la-la, la-la-lips
When you say it when you say it with your warm words
When you’re moving I want more like this yeah
 
Streetlights are lonely
Streetlights are lonely
Streetlights are lonely
Streetlights

Streetlights Are Lonely

LYRICS

When you keep your plans all to yourself
And don’t involve the one that you love
Something sure gonna show up well
Something’s begun to come undone

TV’s on most all of the time
You’re not really watching it
Have you forgot about conversation
Tell me ‘bout your day and the money you’re making

That’s the price of progress
The real cost of your success
That’s the price of progress

No I won’t give up, coz we come this far
I’m putting out the call don’t leave it to chance
Will you spend a little more time with me
I’m looking at you and I need an advance

Where are the intimate moments
Like those we lost right back at the start
If loving feels like a trap	
Then we’re lonely lonely together apart
And if loving feels like a trap
Then we’re lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Together apart

Together apart
Together apart
Together apart
Together apart

That’s the price of progress
That’s the price of progress
The real cost of your success
That’s the price of progress

(Progress progress progress)
(Progress progress progress)

Together apart
Together apart
Together apart

Price of Progress

LYRICS:

I got the chills the first time
Like holding on a live wire
That talk
It’s not just down to fine wine
Been ready for a long time
Let’s walk

Then I get that feeling
What is it revealing
When I get that feeling	
Something in your tone

Isolator
Leaving me all alone
With a broken heart
Isolator
You’re so good at
Tearing it apart

You say you’ll call the next day
But zero hours baby
You joke
You bring that circuit breaker
Can’t turn it back on later
Hello	
Hello
Hello

Isolator
Leaving me alone
With a broken heart
Isolator
You’re so good at 
Tearing it apart

Isolator
Isolator - I say is it too late
Call me later
Isolator -  I say is it too late

Isolator I say is it too late
(When I get that feeling)
Isolator I say is it too late
(When I get that feeling)
