Just a minute while I write it down
You know I got such a bad memory
I tried to smile but it became a frown
Don’t know if it’s Sunday or it’s Wednesday
I saw a rabbit on the road today
It looked at me and carried on regardless
I thought I’d never find the words to say
How strange it is to live among the faceless
Locked
My friends stay outside
Down my tools and I hide
Locked inside my mind
Down my spirit slides
Am I alive?
I need a minute just to think straight
I need a second just to pause
My friends stay outside, inside my mind
My spirit slides
Am I alive?

You’re far away and I can’t seem to find the time to come and play
But I don’t mind just calling from the edge
You turned away from everything you paid for at cost
And all the castaways you spend your time with now are just as lost
You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you
And now you’re searching for your missing memory through the mirrored glass
And all you find in just your mind in shattered pieces in the grass
You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you
Did you ever think you were a splash of paint dripped from the brush of a creator while he’s stood making something else?
And you splashed into existence
Completely unannounced
You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you

I’ve been waiting
Waiting for your call, my darling
Cos I’ve been lonely
Wondering if you’re thinking of me
And I’ve been walking through the rooms of my apartment
And I’ve been floating through the cracks between the walls
Please come back home to me
I’ve been hoping to hear you tapping on my window
Because I’m sorry for all the things I put you through
So come on baby, the silence really makes me nervous
I know it’s selfish but it’s what you make me do
Please come back home
And if you leave then you should take your extra long sleeves to dry your face
Cos when your tears dry, those cheeks will get cold
And then you’ll know that the worst is done
And you’ll be ok
Alarm clock perforates my sleep
I wake, alone, afraid of what I’ll reap
A plastic life life that we designed
A mould we can’t sit still inside
A possession I cannot keep
Please come back home
And if you leave then you should take your extra long sleeves to dry your face
Cos when your tears dry, those cheeks will get cold
And then you’ll know that the worst is done
And you’ll be ok

When you were just a kid you fell into a quarry pit and broke your spine
The doctors said that it may never fully heal and they would see in time
And now you wonder if you lost some fundamental part of you that day
Cos every time someone gets close enough to pull you in, you push away
You can’t live all your life in a daydream
You can’t spend all your time on your phone
You can live your life glued to a touchscreen
You can’t spend all your days on your own
From your apartment window, there’s a stunning skyline only you have viewed
Four chairs around a dining table, only one of them is ever used
You say you’re happiest when you are home alone with all your things around
When what you really want is people you can call upon when you are down
You can’t live all your life in a daydream
You can’t spend all your time on your phone
You can live your life glued to a touchscreen
You can’t spend all your days on your own

With your baggage packed you’re gonna hit the road but your heart’s so heavy, gotta carry the load
Be careful what you leave behind cos I’m standing here with an axe to grind
You should have been careful what you left behind cos I’m standing here with an axe to grind

From the light of her halo, blinded
We’ll never see again

Up on a hillside we can shout it
So no one can ever doubt it
And we’ll run back down into the town
And from the pavements they can see it
And then they’ll know we really mean it
And they’ll turn around and leave alone
And from the treetops the birds will sing and they’ll all take wing
And paint the blue skies black and white
And so the tide will turn and the sun will burn
And hand in hand we’ll face the night
