In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea Far from the madness, that folds around me Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea There's a warm light on a cold night And clean cotton sheets Soap smellin' skin and tinglin' feet With stars linin' the skyline And shine through the trees In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea And when the autumn comes down We'll get what we need from the town And all of our friends will be round In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea Moon white as paper and night black as sleep With old things behind us and new things to be In an old house on a hillside Next to the sea And when the sunshine comes down My hair will turn golden And my skin will turn brown And all of our friends will be round

There's a warm little home on a hill And the presents that's hiding somewhere And the world is so peaceful and still You can almost hear love in the air There's a blanket of snow on the ground And a bright little star in the sky And your heart knows that Santa is around By the twinkle in everyone's eye There's gift bringing and bells ringing And warm little feet by the fire There are kids playing and folks praying And somewhere the sound of a choir There's two people who never will part And two stockings we still have to fill There's a warm little place in my heart For our warm little home on the hill There is gift bringing and bells ringing And warm little feet by the fire There are kids playing and folks praying And somewhere the sound of a choir There's two people who never will part And two stockings we still have to fill There's a warm little place in my heart For our warm little home on the hill

Cried yourself to sleep I know, lonely under the sheets Cus you've tried, to make yourself seen Through a field of green But it's overgrown If it all came true When you've seen it all through You'll look back At the footprints on the path Where does that leave you? Can you be still? There's a void only silence can fill Where you are is all that's real When you're there, remember how it feels Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Who do you have left Whеn it all goes bad? Who is by your side When thе fire subsides And it rains in your head? Did you leave your mark? (Did you leave your mark?) Can they catch your spark? (Catch your spark...) Did you trade your torch For a silver fork And a life in the dark? Can you be still? There's a void only silence can fill Where you are is all that's real When you're there, remember how it feels Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Alone, in your city on a hill

This is where we fall, sleepers scattered in the soil A finger deep, dragged through the ground A blessed thought in harrowed halls. We could think of nothing else but what our patch of earth contained, Reminded by our dirt-stained clothes of planted possibility In tender ground, as bare as birth, a shoot emerged from beneath the earth. Mary, Mary, tell me how your garden grows. Tell me what it takes to come alive, to see what you have sown Because I've grown into the ground and there are branches in my bones I am overgrown. Between two branches, a rope and tire we cast between two worlds, Each one higher than the last. I chose the air, chose higher still and left an Eden, found, But in abandon, lost my grip, and shattered, chose the ground In unkept chaos, as bare as birth, a garden, grey, of tangled earth. I've been lying here too long, the branches pushing me apart where weakness showed, But then September swept the overcast aside, Dusted off the winter's curse, and she cut me through like knives. She whistled proudly her season's song and showed me that I was alive all along.

Wandering, weightless I'm empty, I'm faded Stumbling, nameless I'm falling, failing, faithless I won't fade away to nothing If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? Freezing, frameless I'm tempting fate with Saying nothing I won't fade away to nothing I won't fade away to nothing If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? I'm wandering, I'm weightless I'm failing, I'm faithless Descending to madness I'm taken for granted I'm wondering and worthless Deserving, deserted Defeated, defended Forgive me Forget it If I say a prayer for someone Who'll say a prayer for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay? If I gave away the ending Who'd save the day for me When I ask myself, if the life I lead's The price I have to pay?

Father, we fled your house of grey We ran from home to seek a place Where our bodies would never grow Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world She has an appetite for boys and girls And she's hungry for your soul Little boys with dreams of paper planes Were never meant to scrape the sky Keep your feet on the ground kid Only birds were meant to fly Little boys with dreams of paper planes Were never meant to scrape the sky Keep your head from the clouds kid Keep your wings, always keep them by your side Remember, before you fly, you'll fall Before you walk, you'll crawl Before you fly, you'll fall Before you walk, you'll crawl You've no need to stitch your shadow to your heels No, not this time Son, you'll walk with no whisper, no sound Only the feet of the heavy-hearted are held to the ground You've no need to draw the curtains, son, throw them wide Cross the borders between the never-ending night Find the twinkle in your smile Chase it on 'til morning Past the second star to the right Little boys with dreams of paper planes Were never meant to scrape the sky Keep your feet on the ground kid Only birds were meant to fly Little boys with dreams of paper planes Were never meant to scrape the sky Keep your head from the clouds kid Keep your wings, always keep them by your side We'll be the smoke curling on the still The airship captains, we wait for sun to brush the hills Son, I share your windward dreams To soar from this little town of shacked up windows And swinging doors (swinging doors) The rafters creak and the floorboards groan While the shadows dance to the tapping of my toes There's nothing left for us but altitude We'll be the kings of the air (there's nothing left for us here, there's nothing left for us here) There's nothing left for us but altitude We'll be the kings of the air (we'll be the kings of the air) Stolen by the wind that turns the leaves to razors Holding just a string, our twine and our paper lost to the breeze Stolen by the wind that turns the leaves to razors Holding just a string, our twine and our paper lost to the breeze

What if I told you, that we're all the same If no one is equal, in this endless game What if I told you, it's out of your hands And after all is said and done, and nothing has changed We all want the same You again, the future, has failed us, it's coming round again The sickness, the sadness, the cycles have to win Somehow, we're tilted and the ringing in my ears Won't go away, it's happening again What if I told you, that we're all the same If no one is equal, in this endless game What if I told you, it's out of your hands And after all is said and done, and nothing has changed We all want the same We all want the same Here we go again, the feeling of falling It's all we'll ever know Swing backwards and forwards It's getting old My hands are tied behind my back And I can barely catch my breath And here we go again What if I told you, that we're all the same If no one is equal, in this endless game What if I told you, it's out of your hands And after all is said and done, and nothing has changed We all want the same And after all is said and done We can right the wrongs and make our own In time to start it all again The cycle's gotta break What if I told you, that we're all the same If no one is equal, in this endless game What if I told you, it's out of your hands And after all is said and done, and nothing has changed We all want the same The future has failed us, it's coming round again The pendulum is broken, so we're swinging by the neck Instead, we're tilted, the ringing in my ears Won't go away, it's happening again We all want the same We all want the same

To know your every detail is a lifetime A story to tell with a touch Every move is a reaction Every kiss is a reason, a rush You're my muse, and you're my masterpiece My canvas and my chemistry You're magic and you're mystery My haven, you're my heaven You're my heart We will be unbreakable Let's take it all, as a reminder we'll never need Every place we dance, in a way, we never leave We're toe to toe, side to side, beneath the stars We will be unbreakable If I'm the ship then you're the shore If I'm the soldier you're the war If I'm the soil then you're the seed If I'm the puzzle, you're the piece That completes the picture The safety in the storm The colour of the rising dawn as the mountains kiss her We will be unbreakable Let's take it all, as a reminder we'll never need Every place we dance, in a way, we never leave We're toe to toe, side to side, beneath the stars We will be unbreakable From up this close, I can't see a thing Aside from you in front of me I can't recall a night this clear A better light to lead us here No brighter diamond in the sky Than those embedded in your eyes Let's take it all as a reminder we'll never need Every place we dance, in a way, we never leave Let's take it all, as a remainder we'll never need Every place we dance, in a way, we never leave We're toe to toe, side to side, beneath the stars We will be unbreakable

This is happiness, to be everything at once. Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned. Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind. Tassels streaming from our necks, we cast a wake amidst the wind. We're the roamers to the road, barebacked, spirit and in mind. Oh, to be free like this. This is happiness, to be everything at once. Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned. This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free, With the open road and the world beneath my feet. With splinters in our teeth, we're driven from our parallels, Our path a prison, bound to walk where countless feet already fell. But there's a wildness in our heart, that we've forgotten in our march, All to be free like this. This is happiness, to be everything at once. Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned. This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free, With the open road and the world beneath my feet. We're branded and we're burdened from the moment we are born. We're domestic and we're discontent, and we're grinding our gums raw. Forget your feet and where they fall, Lift your head and carry on. No fear, just faith, no bit, just break the path and let it lead you. Unknown, unblind, run free, run wild and leave behind what holds you down. Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind. This is happiness, to be everything at once. Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned. This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free, With the open road and the world beneath my feet. Oh, to be free like this.
