Wide awake in the middle of the night I wonder how she's feelin' Is it just a trick of the light Or is her ceiling peeling? She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head At a copy of "True Confessions" Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale To a woman of her profession But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? Come on, tell me What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this? They don't make girls like you no more And I'd like to get to know you On closer terms than this But I guess you've heard it all before Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me Shakes her head and sighs Out of time, out the door Red light shinin' in my eyes But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face All right? But was I all right? All right?

Bored of the life in the city of gold He'd left and let nobody know Gone were the towers he had known from a child Alone with the dream of a life He travelled the wide open road The blinkered arcade In search of another to share in his life. Nowhere Everyone looked so strange to him. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept as they led him away to a cage Beast that can talk, read the sign. The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again. But soon they grew bored of their prey The beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt. Oh No. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out. He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out: There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold. Let me take you there, show you a living story Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave? They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept. And so we set out with the beast and his horns And his crazy description of home. After many days journey we came to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out. We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all, But the beast was gone and a voice was heard: They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance Hello friend, welcome home.

My heart is spilling over Crashing on the ground I can't see what's around me But soon I'll come around My faith is in the balance Of a million tiny words So I return to silence And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying It's time that I let go Of things I can't control This path that I've taken Is the only one I know Well I've come so far to get here And I've got so far to go So I'll take what I can get In matters of the soul And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming) No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone) May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming) What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone) And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming) And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming) And I'm crying

We broke up when we woke up 'Cause it had to end We couldn't speak from the pain Had to jump on a plane and pretend Well, I got so drunk on that flight Couldn't tell day from night But I didn't want to I'm not me without you And since we split the sheets In every man I meet, I look for you You used to stroke my cheek When I spoke French to you But then you'd pick a fight Bring up some blurry night And what it meant to you We used to fight for the sport And then when we got bored We just make up again With a hint of resentment And since we split the sheets In every man I meet, I look for you I look for you I look for you You You I got so drunk on that flight Couldn't tell day from night But I didn't want to I'm not me without you And since we split the sheets In every man I meet, I look for you

I could cross the mountains and the oceans caught in wanderlust Just proving my devotion, it still won't be enough I could turn off all the stars for you then light them up It wouldn't do you justice How I'm with you is beyond me And for the life of me I can't see How I deserve you, deserve you There's no one else I'll ever be with And I will never know what I did to deserve you I could write a hundred different poems on a candle light Pour my beating heart out into every line But words don't know the way that you look in my eyes They'll never know the feeling How I'm with you is beyond me And for the life of me I can't see How I deserve you, deserve you No one else will ever come close You are all the things I love most What did I do to deserve you? If I try to tell you You'd make fun of me So this note will stay somewhere tucked away For my eyes only How I'm with you is beyond me And for the life of me I can't see How I deserve you, deserve you There's no one else I'll ever be with And I will never know what I did to deserve you

I looked at you and I felt nothing I used to feel something, but no, now there's nothing I found a picture but I didn't make a sound I used to break down but everything has changed now All that being said, I'm yet to go to bed That's when the thoughts start rolling And the 'do I still love hims' come to play Overthinking what I wore, did I leave him wanting more? That day And now my head hurts Why can't I put this shit to bed? And I'm hungover 'Cause I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret Why can't I feel things to a smaller degree? 'Cause right now I'm hurting Enough for both you and me (oh...) You bit your lip but I showed no interest It used to have me undressed, but now I'm not so impressed Oh, I've stopped thinking 'bout our sun-kissed love being our shelter 'Cause that was ruined when you felt her For just one second too long, oh I said forgive, forget, but I was yet to go to bed That's when the thoughts start rolling And the 'do I still love hims' come to play Overthinking what I wore, did I leave him wanting more? That day And now my head hurts Why can't I put this shit to bed? And I'm hungover 'Cause I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret Why can't I feel things to a smaller degree? 'Cause right now I'm hurting Enough for both you and me (oh...) You say it's different this time 'cause you love her Funny you think that I'm bothered But you see, I've got far too little time To give you any of mine I look at you, and I don't feel anything (I feel nothing) Apart from when I feel many things, I feel everything Do you see the dilemma that my heart brings? And now my head hurts Why can't I put this shit to bed? And I'm hungover Because I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret Why can't I feel things to a smaller degree? 'Cause right now I'm hurting Enough for both you and me Oh, do think I said I was over you

I broke both our hearts And I meant what I said But before we part Could I get in your bed? You brought out a better me Without you, who will I be? 'Cause I ain't stuck, but I ain't free Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end? When we said goodbye And mourned a younger us I heard the angels cry As I got on my bus Feel you in a steady breeze Look for you in cherry trees I'm still your girl in dungarees Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end? One more night, now we know Can we just pretend That I didn't make a mess of us? In my defence I was holding on to what's left of us No, I shouldn't stay tonight But I need to know you'll be alright Can we just pretend And spend one more night, now we know it's the end?

No pictures to look through or lips to unkiss Just someone to miss through all of this There's no explanation, other than the truth Was because it was me It was because it was you And I could delete you off of my phone 'Cause you missed your chance when I was alone But my heart's become your home I could get rid of the text We both know what was said And maybe we were meant to be Stuck somewhere in-between The lines that we drew Maybe in this blue We'll find our way through, through I could've told you that this was gonna burn But you'd talk over me 'cause God forbid you should learn You're too scared to give in and I'm too scared to long 'Cause I know we won't let ourselves belong And my hands are tied, I'm coloured in pride And my chest is tight, and I can't breathe We were outspent, pretending we're friends And all the suspense is killing me (is killing me) After the dust settles, we must put this to rest Oh, I used to wish you were mine Now I just wish you the best Oh, and maybe we were meant to be Stuck somewhere in-between The lines that we drew Maybe in this blue We'll find our way through

I ran my fingers through your hair And I knew that we were in trouble then No need for words when there's sex in the air I can taste you on my body when you're not there You leave love bruises on my thighs You clench your jaw when you catch my eye I stare right back and we sway all night And I swear I saw our freckles in the sky Daydreaming about your lips Your hands all on my hips So give me a little kiss on my nose I wanna feel like I'm your only And I want you close enough to smoke me So pour yourself a drink and come to me (Nice) It's been this way since the night we met Lying in bed smoking cigarettes Passion and romance and that summer sweat Give me love and time and energy and head Daydreaming about your lips Your hands all on my hips So give me a little kiss on my nose I wanna feel like I'm your only And I want you close enough to smoke me So pour yourself a drink and come to me Daydreaming about your lips Your hands all on my hips So give me a little kiss on my nose I wanna feel like I'm your only And I want you close enough to smoke me So pour yourself a drink and come to me
