Paul, do you remember me
We shook hands a few times
You made the drive despite demand
Say, could you come back to me
Cos there are things that I regret
Too much dwell and too much fret
Maybe, come back and stay
So I can say
I never meant to dwell on more than yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Say, did you see me trembling
When my fingers hit the notes
When dust had settled and blocked the throat
Fate, could see us back again
But the day before I do
I'll be rested and prime for you
Maybe, come back and stay
So I can say
I never meant to dwell on more than yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Just to say
I never meant to dwell on more than
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

Stay in L.A.
03:15
|

|
Gonna pick up something to ease my mind
With long haul flying
And maybe there’s a possibility
I’ll drift away so unaware
The planes been plucked out of the air
And lose my sense on what’s reality
Who knows what comes next
I can only interpret text
But I hope when I pass the glare
That you’re with me there
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?
Always had a dream
To travel far and flung between
The places others told me I had to see
But I never imagined the hours I’d spend
In transit trying to make a friend
Discomforts really broke the best of me
But who knows what comes next
I can only interpret text
But I hope when I pass the glare
That you’re with me there
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?
Maybe I should’ve listened closer
To what you had to say
Dan why don’t you stay in LA?

Rain
02:21

I called you up just to make some sense of it
To calibrate just a frame of mind
And I packed a t-shirt
That hadn’t seen daylight
And left the layers
In a draw confined
But I think
If it’s all the same
I think I miss the rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
All that’s left behind
Now feels colour-blind
A strange withdrawal
That I’ve never known
So if I burn away
Take me back some day
And let me soak in the home I know
Cos I think if it’s all the same
I think I miss the rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
I think I like you
But soon as I’m through
I’m heading back
All the way
‘Cos I miss the rain
Rain

Actor With A Loaded Gun
02:57
|

|
Did you tell them I was coming?
Did you tell them I’m new here?
Can we stop and buy some Flowers
Cos I feel bad I’ve just bought beer
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
Met a girl she’s a florist
And oh so modest about her career
But her boyfriend can talk for hours
He’s an ego pioneer
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
I’ve been called robotic
And intense to name a few
So I’m trying my best to be soft
Around the edges just for you
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun
This isn’t a party
It’s a social interview
It determines my hierarchy
Between the strong and those confused
What if I spoil the fun
What if I’m overcome
Like an actor with a loaded gun

Grand Plan
03:13
|

|
Everyone’s out making money
And I’m eating out the jar
Everyone’s creating art in high places
And I‘ve barely left the chair
It all feels incomplete
But I never admit defeat
I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s getting married
But I barley hold a stare
Everyone’s getting free and liberated
And I’m chained here to the desk
It all feels incomplete
But I never admit defeat
Cos I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
It all feel incomplete
And I never admit defeat
I’ll be coming back from way behind
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared
Everyone’s got a grand plan
But I’ve barely come prepared

Work
02:45

Been a long day
Been a long week
I can tell you’re tired from the way that you speak
Looking at your eyes
There’s no one at home
Legs so heavy
Alarms still going
Hey, do you have to go to work today?
Cause I hate to lay alone in bed awake
Won’t you think about it and stay
Let our bodies waste away
Hey, do you have to go to work today?
I can tell from here
That it’s cold outside
You’re turning that door key
Against the tide
Over and above the 9 to 5 week
So come and rest your head on the fine silk sheets
Hey, do you have to go to work today?
Cause I hate to lay alone in bed awake
Won’t you think about it and stay
Let our bodies waste away
Hey, do you have to go to work today?

So Dark
03:32

You pretend to kill the driver
And I play the role of countdown timer
3, 2, 1
And even though we’re only joking
You’re on the backseat laughing and choking
Ha Ha Ha
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So
And everything that’s cute and fragile
You wanna ruin, squeeze or defile
You’re a hands on kind of girl
And in a game of would you rather
You leave us speechless
With visions of fire
Good grief
Heaven’s above
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So
Happy to play the joker
The clown and the fool
Happy to tread the finest line for you
When it’s dark
When it’s dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
When it’s
So dark
So

Honeymoon
02:46
|

|
Like artefacts
The late night snacks
And cats that wanna kill me
Remain locked away
Behind the solid glass
Though my body is damaged
By the fries we ravaged
My hearts remains in tact
And I hope in time it all comes flooding back
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time next year
If half the world away
Is too much from day to day
If my voice falls short
On the telephone
Then I’ll package my hand
In a UPS van
So you’ll have something to hold
As you grow old
Thinking about what could’ve been
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time of year
This time of year
I doubt your gift shops open this time next year
If the honey honeymoon is over
Can I buy a souvenir
Cos I doubt your gift shops open this time next year

Hit Your Limit
02:44

Babe I’ve got the book
Of tropical diseases overlooked
And I see no reason to believe
That you’re dying from that yellow fever
Everyone succumbs
Everyone’s got their point
Everyone bends and breaks
Believe me when I say
It’s clear as night and day
You’ve just hit your limit, hit your limit for today
And no, no need to write a will
Cos by the mornings it’s just run of the mill
All week you’ve been deprived
Be thankful
That the weekends arrived
Everyone succumbs
Everyone’s got their point
Everyone bends and breaks
Believe me when I say
It’s clear as night and day
You’ve just hit your limit, hit your limit today
Everyone succumbs
Everyone’s got their point
Everyone bends and breaks
Believe me when I say
It’s clear as night and day
You’ve just hit your limit, hit your limit for today
Everyone succumbs
Everyone’s got their point
Everyone bends and breaks
Believe me when I say
It’s clear as night and day
You’ve just hit your limit, hit your limit for today

Coldblooded
03:28
|

|
Are you needing shelter
Cause I would offer mine
But I’m in no better place at this point in time
You crashed through the back door
Swept me off my feet
Still surveying all the damage whilst half asleep
I know there’s options
And I know there’s time
But ain’t it just a shame it’s an uphill climb
Without a warning sign
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go
And if you needed sugar
Someone to hear your cry
Then I hope you know
That I would be first in line
In time you will forget me
Not a thought will reside
Just a lonely soul on couch reclined
I know there’s options
And I know there’s time
But ain’t it just a shame it’s an uphill climb
Without a warning sign
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go
I didn’t know that you could be coldblooded
But you’re letting it show
All the while you’ve been so cold blooded
Now you’re letting me go

Surreal

Spinning signs on boulevards
Putting faith in tarot cards
You’ve been a valet
The taxi on the way
Late at night
Ah look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel
Does it seem surreal? So surreal
Waiting tables, manning bars
Pressing sheets and washing cars
People have come and gone
Told you you’re the one, every time
Ah look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel
Does it seem surreal? So surreal
Look at that
You’ve made it
Now grab a glass and raise it
How does it feel?
Does it seem surreal?
Cause when all seem faded
You joined the one 1% that made it
How does it feel
Does it seem surreal? So surreal

Together
02:37

I’ve been riding shotgun
For so long
I’ve lost track of how many times
I could’ve been the one
I too have played the game
I’ve made a call
And every time
I’ve spun the wheel
I’ve risked it all
What a journey
What a laugh
What a time you had here together
Though all is black and bleak
At least you share a seat up there together
At least you’re together
I’ve lost a few before
But none like this
Such an obvious way to turn so easily missed
So wherever you end up
Wherever you go
I’m sure you’re going to give one them one hell of a show
What a journey
What a laugh
What a time you had here together
Though all is black and bleak
At least you share a seat up there together
At least you’re together
At least you’re together
At least you’re together
At least you’re together
