I can't feel the beat It’s like we’ve always been overtired Rising in the street Alone Well I could hope the night Would give in to me over time I’ll catch you in-between Our love We’re looking at the night come over It feels like I’m stuck inside a dream but even when you’re moving closer Well you’ll never see What I want to give to you What I want to give to you I can never sleep While the switch has been left alive Caught between the sheets Tonight Well passing through my head is the only place you could be It's oh so bittersweet Each time We’re looking at the night come over It feels like I’m stuck inside a dream but even when you’re moving closer Well you’ll never see What I want to give to you What I want to give to you What I want to give to you tonight What I want to give to you

Dust is settling on the ground well that’s just life Mirror facing an old man in a young disguise Caught me staring, a stranger I don’t recognize But all I really want to know is that there’s more than this Could it be something better is out there? Maybe i’m at the end Should it be something better is out there? I’m just tired of getting old Morning sunshine, brush my teeth and hide away Daily mail, more bad news to start the day In my car I take the most convenient way Still all I really want to know is that there’s more to this Could it be something better is out there? Maybe i’m at the end Should it be something better is out there? I’m just tired of getting old Restless children rushing in between my legs Kitchen living slipping on scrambled eggs Realise that there’s nothing to my dream that’s left And all I really want to know is that there’s more to this Could it be something better is out there? Maybe i’m at the end Should it be something better is out there? I’m just tired of getting old

Help Me 03:32
Help me, I just can’t keep up the pace Help me, running early walk in late Help me, drag myself across the line Help me, I keep losing every time Help me, I’ve been sleeping sleeplessly Help me, there comes a time to up and leave Take me… To San Francisco The quiet life Back in San Francisco Where only I can let me down Help me, I’m barely hanging on the line Help me, slowly swinging from the wire Help me, watch me piss away my life Help me, keeping moving all the while Help me, I’m escaping from the crowd Help me, when you call I won’t be around It’s all I need A sunny morning and a gentle breeze It’s all I need A slower life below the trees

Dull Life 03:41
Spent the day Lying round Endless waiting For the phone to sound A blurriness of Common sense It’s Time to switch to Another lense PRE-CHORUS Those fantasies might Help you out But reality is bearing down I think this dull life’s here to stay Spending my week stuck on repeat It’s another wasted year once again And I can’t quite get the feeling out of my mind Let those dreams go running away Up into the clouds Oh they’re up in the clouds and this dull life’s here to stay Another call Another clue Well I can’t get My life to suit This repetition Is comforting A missing person Lies within

Arrows in the night It’s been a long time coming Letting up the fight To stem the flooding Now I know that I can make it from here Smiling all the way to the exit I never needed you to save my soul It’s alright Filling up a case It’s been a long time coming Given up the taste Left that water running Arrows in the night It’s been a long time coming Knowing that I tried happier with nothing And I never needed you to save me And I never needed you it’s alright And I never needed you to save my soul it’s alright.

Four Hands 03:12
Starting to break you down Pushing you to the side Who are you meant to be now you’ve reset most of your life I’ve been twisting my neck You've been catching the light Seems you and I will be stuck here forever Cause I, Cause i’m just, i’m just slipping away from you Conversation is dead But we’re still keeping alive There’s nothing left here to talk through cause we don’t see eye to eye Bury my head in the sand While you continue to drive Moving along but we’re stuck here forever Cause I, Cause i’m just, i’m just slipping away from you And I want you to know why i’m never calling With my phone in my hand I just keep on stalling I can’t put into words how i’m always feeling Four hands on the wheel And none of them are steering Cause I, Cause i’m just, i’m just slipping away from you
7.
Screaming out Like you’ve got some different thing to say Moving out You’ve been trying tell me I’m the same Could it be that they don’t want to listen Could it be that they just want a change Should’ve been at that breakfast on the weekend Like everyone Crickets in the grass They’re all just the same Grab yourself a number And go join in the crowd Hanging out We could try something wild Call me lazy You might think I’m just a child Could it be that I don’t want to listen Could it be that I just want a change I should’ve be there jumping in the deep end Like everyone For you and me No i won’t change a thing For you and me No i won’t change a thing For you and me No i won’t change a thing You don’t have to wait Everything is the same

Calling Curtis Pickett Man in Hollywood Pushing 43 in a twenties neighbourhood Moved down from Chicago Where he should’ve stayed Chased the dream of dreamers, a real life runaway He’s got another bill to pay Been living on the run forever Should realize that it’s over Still he keeps trying Starring in the background Lying on his side Working on not moving helps to keep you dignified Write another bio Fabricate a life Nothing more to add in now your life has passed you by Still he keeps trying… Calling Curtis Pickett Please pick up your phone He’s moved in to the real world and just left a dial tone

The writing stands on the ceiling Watching tides like nothing’s going to change  Standing still’s got me thinking To throw overboard the hard times It must be that much better than you Hard times, blood flies,  Ten times your life disappeared right at your feet Let down, each week,  It’s a repeat your throat is burning way down deep The writing stands on the ceiling Watching tides like nothing’s going to change  Standing still’s got me thinking To throw overboard the hard times It must be that much better than you Change means, pipe dreams Just try breathe, keep your cool and take a seat All the hard times, and the good times It’s about right life’s up there upon the beat The writing stands on the ceiling Watching tides like nothing’s going to change  Standing still’s got me thinking To throw overboard the hard times It must be that much better than you Well you know that you've gone and let me down almost every single day But I’m trying hard just to fix my heart so it won’t happen again So I’ll take each piece and I’ll clean it up and I slowly re-arrange Throw overboard the hard times It must be that much better than you

Perfect Man 03:18
I’m stuck in the sinking sand from my neck down to my heal you tell me that i can stand up but i don’t think that i will I’m up on another planet while you’re sitting in the room its just the beginning and its harder than I thought Leave me forever and ever Trust me its not getting better I’m not a man of perfection But I try  I’m here if you need a shoulder or a voice that’s black and white  I know that you won’t mind waiting while the TV’s on tonight  Time spent on your own pet project and its shaping real nice It’s nothing personal but it’s blocking out the light Leave me forever and ever Trust me its not getting better I’m not a man of perfection But I try

Old man living People start to think he’s lost Time went missing Looks for memories long forgot He’s been lying in his bed Just waiting for his time to come Restless in his head Cause she was his only one Now he’s been looking for the way out Just can’t find where it is The right side of his bed, on his own Old Man Living No more time to fill this gap Just keep on wishing You just try to stay intact He’s been lying in his bed Just waiting for his time to come Restless in his head Cause she was his only one Now he’s been looking for the way out Just can’t find where it is The right side of his bed, on his own Now he’s been looking for the way out Just can’t find where it is The right side of his bed, on his own On his own
