Self Made Paradise

Can’t settle down
Or find my feet
It doesn’t matter what I find or who I meet
I’d roam this world
In search of you
But I’m reminded where I am
On our horizon
Just out to sea
Exotic islands, give me 10 that’s where I’ll be
The windows down
Wind in my hair
I know just where I am
We’ll have bad days
And good ones too
But despite my inconsistency... I’ll see
Just what I’ve lost
And what I’ve already got
And know that I’m on top
If you break the rules
We won’t play the fools
We’ve got a self made paradise, paradise
I am making no exceptions for you now
And though you feel betrayed
It’s your own bed you’ve made
Inside your self made paradise, paradise
I am making no exceptions for you now
And when we feel that burning sun
We’ll know that it’s our time, we’ve already begun
We’ll have bad days
And good ones too
But despite my inconsistency... I’ll see
Just what I’ve lost
And what I’ve already got
And know that I’m on top
If you break the rules
We won’t play the fools
We’ve got a self made paradise, paradise
I am making no exceptions for you now
And though you feel betrayed
It’s your own bed you’ve made
Inside your self made paradise, paradise
I am making no exceptions for you now

Give Me New Life

How did I get here? How did we end up in this race?
But though I’m in hell, there’s something from heaven in this place
She brings me back - when she walks by
Resuscitation and all she does is catch my eye, so
(Save my soul) Give me the strength again
(Keep me whole) So I can live again
(I’m so cold) And you can warm me up and
Give me new life
(Take me in) Into your arms again
(Feel your skin) Upon my own again
(Life begins) Right here so
Give me new life
I thought she was joking a funny old game that we would play,
But shit got serious when you sat by me that day
You bring me back - when you walk by
Resuscitation and all you do is catch my eye
And you know it’s the worst fucking day of my life
But it could be the best for me too.
And it might be the sheer lack of sleep that I’ve had but I swear that i’ve fallen for you

One Way Traffic

Please don’t take this in the wrong way
But I am tired of your shit now every single day
And I am glad that you have gone and changed
‘Cause now I’m finally breathing in oxygen again
I felt paralysed, now open up my eyes and see the damage done from all the self inflicting lies
So please don’t take this in the wrong way
But you look better from behind
You got the best from me
And I got the worst from you
Cause now I find that I was blind to all the one way traffic
You took it all from me
And I gave it all to you
And now you see that I am free of all the one way traffic
Please don’t view this in the wrong light
But I am happy that I sleep alone now every night
And I am glad that you are out of sight
Cause now I’m finallyy saying that I will be alright
And though it’s for the best, I am a fucking mess, it’s hard to know no matter what you are so powerless
So please don’t view this in the wrong light
But you look better from behind
And I’m not going back
You got the best from me
And I got the worst from you
Cause now I find that I was blind to all the one way traffic
You took it all from me
And I gave it all to you
And now you see that I am free of all the one way traffic

Leave Me There

I know you’ve seen all this before
And I know that you will see it more
I will take you down to the other side and
You will take me up for another ride
And leave me there
To breathe the air
I know you can’t live on this way
And I know you that you could never stay
I will take you down to the other side and
You will take me up for another ride
And leave me there
To breathe the air

I feel it stuck in my chest (it’s in the airways)
I see you looking your best (upon the stairway)
Invite me to your abode (and as you walk by)
My heart is gonna explode, cause I can tell just what you want from your eyes
And it might be fast, but this might last in the memories of yesterday then hopes and dreams will fade-away and
I had hit the ground, but now I’m found, with the feelings that I’ve always shown inside a place that I can call my own
You never know what might change (it’s in the blood now)
The world might think that you’re strange (lost in the flood now)
But they don’t know that your peace (fell from the night sky)
And they don’t know your release, is when you tell just what they want from their eyes
And it might be fast, but this might last in the memories of yesterday then hopes and dreams will fade-away and
I had hit the ground, but now I’m found, with the feelings that I’ve always shown inside a place that I can call my own

It’s fine to hide that second skin
As long as I don’t let you in
Cause I’ve been here before
And I know it won’t be long until you’re at my door
And understand that i’ve seen things below
That even you will never know
Cause I’ve been here before
And this trap won’t be fell for
I won’t look for you
And when you’re through
All you can do is make it easier
So please don’t look for me
Don’t try to see
All this will be so much easier
My patience now is running dry
And it seems I am getting by
Without repeated stress
And I know it won’t be long until I’m at my best
And understand that I have changed my ways
I’m past those weak and feeble days
Without repeated stress
And without your god damn mess
If you run
If you run
If you run
If you just run from here
I won’t look for you
And when you’re through
All you can do is make it easier
So please don’t look for me
Don’t try to see
All this will be so much easier

Take you back to where it began
Blue skies and a couple of cans
Walk by with her new man as it pours down
A face of thunder for all to see
Sick and tired of the fallacies
Is it pathetic or is it just me as it pours down?
‘Cause we were living in the best of times
But we were living on the borderline of danger, romance, unavoidable girls
And we were living for those summer days
But we were living with a castaway, so danger romance, unavoidable girls
Dude, R U Good?
Next weekend sitting on the beach
We got sun tans, cold hands, a cider in each
One down but still the tide keeps flowing
Yeah we were tanning out, hanging out and banging out the tunes
We were kicking out and picking out the ones with the balloons
Then 2 for 1 yeah nothing can be scarier
We’ve got an unexpected item in the bagging area
‘Cause we were living in the best of times
But we were living on the borderline of danger, romance, unavoidable girls
And we were living for those summer days
But we were living with a castaway, so danger romance, unavoidable girls
One day, feel afflicted
Two ways, you’re conflicted
They say, they predicted
In bed, unrestricted
Half dead, self-inflicted
They said, you’re addicted…
‘Cause we were living in the best of times
But we were living on the borderline of danger, romance, unavoidable girls
And we were living for those summer days
But we were living with a castaway, so danger romance, unavoidable girls
Dude, R U Good?

I might only be a shadow on the wall but that would mean there’s light within your life, and if I cannot be that light then I will, keep you in the shade and protect you from the sun
I hope that one day we might walk along the same old path, I won’t cling to the past but I only ever wanted it to last, last until the end, last until I’m gone
But I’m still here
I’m so set in my ways, I’ve not seen better days anywhere from here there’s no point even leaving here my dear, cause I’ve got the world right at my feet and even if it’s just a little piece, this piece of world is mine and
I, can’t imagine being anywhere where I can’t smell the salty air, driving round the coast the wind right through my hair, you might be long gone, but the world will know I’m not
Cause I’m still here
