 Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing it might change my memory
I am what I am I'll do what I want but I can't hide
I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe until you're resting here with me
I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed risk forgetting all that's been
I am what I am I'll do what I want but I can't hide
I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe until you're resting here with me
I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be until you're resting here with me

Thank You

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad
And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue because you're near me
And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Just to be with you is having the best day of my life

White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were
But I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of it's over then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet which I'm sure we will
All that was there will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on
I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

Don't Believe In Love

I wanna go to bed with arms around me but wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping until you go home
I can't look at you this morning I should probably have a sign
That says leave right now or quicker you've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love you're too close to me
And that's why you have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder your arm warm around my side
But it's different now it's morning and I can't face your smile
The second that I feel your safe hands reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight you've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love nothing is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me and nothing is real for me

When I don't believe in love why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love you're getting to close to me
And that's why you have to leave
If I don't believe in love nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love you're too good for me

Hunter

With one light on in one room I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go

The unread book and painful look the tv's on, the sound is down
One long pause then you begin look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go let me leave

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow and all the time I'm thinking
I want to be a hunter again want to see the world alone again to take a chance on life again so let me go

See You When You're 40

I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
Because I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down
And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see you when your 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
Well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
Because I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about 
You are just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
