I don’t wanna say goodbye like this
I’m watching as your face begins to fade
The last six months are waiting with its engine on
Our ugly rebounds waiting in their caves

So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
A fake silver ring
Your books in foreign languages
You can keep the coat
It looks better on you
Anyway, I’m fine
I guess the cold’s a state of mind
Two lovers met
Two strangers left

You say I’m dead on the inside
Babe, I’ve known that for a while
And It wasn’t like you liked me
For my sunny views on life
Oh, I’m dead on the inside
Babe, I’ve known that all along
Any time I tried to love you
I got it wrong

So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
Your dad’s broken watch
A letter to your old address

You just stay so cool
It looks better on you
Anyway, I’m fine
I guess alone’s a state of mind

So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
We’ll shed our skin
And fade into acquaintances
You might also like

This is how we die
Become just you and I
You turn round and smile
One final time
You were just a state of mind

And two lovers met
Two strangers left

Now I’m out of place and I’m not getting any wiser
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
And I tried last night to pack away your laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there when you want it

Oh, was enlightenment found?
No, but I’m trying, taking it one year at a time
Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?
It’s shimmering higher
On the beach, I’m building a pyre
(Use the wood brought in by the tide)
I know you’ll show me how, I’ll know when it’s time to
Take off my robes and step into the choir

She said she don’t believe in regrets
Well I regret to inform her that I do
Rainfall on a tin roof, inside I sit and scribble a Haiku
On the napkin that came inside of our takeaway Thai food
It goes: “Our time is always, our season is all year round
This is our secret” for as long as we can keep it
The deepest of secrets that nobody knows
The root of the root, the bud of the bud and so it goes
And the lyrics of a 1000 songs couldn’t paint her picture
So beautiful, she had me from my first conversation with her
See, nobody was ever as clever
And I still can’t figure how they put her together
Sittin’ in the room where we first got lost in one another
Just trippin’ off the feelin’ of together we’d discovered
And I’m reminiscin’ on days past, escapin’ to Pearl
Before takin’ that whole and makin’ it two halves
But it was scary to be even this close to a perfect fit
Close your eyes, I promise this won’t hurt a bit
This is the kind of love that inspires the stuff I write my poems to
The kind of love you have to leave, just to come home to

You play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to walk you home
If not the one, then you’re the first
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home

Now ain’t it funny
How the ones that you drag all the way through your hell
The same who can teach you how to touch heaven as well
And now it’s out of order and we oughta know
You try to fit a square through a circle and its flaws will show
And it’s gone now, you wouldn’t even know it was there
But you’d get lost tryna navigate the moments we’ve shared
Like when we held each other’s hands and we said goodbye
Tears streamin’ out our eyes like somebody had died
Now it’s the day after your birthday and it’s pourin’ outside
And I’m catchin’ arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line
See, she broke my heart on the river
The trump played last gets the job done quicker
So I’m singin’ to my palindromic angel, held her too tightly
Wings got broken and the love got strangled, but
I don’t wanna hold you back, girl, go fly
Conquer yourself, all the corners of the sky
But I hope that you are close by on the day that I leave
This world with hands held, we can close our eyes
And let the second hand go by
’Cause I wouldn’t wanna not say goodbye
Let you know that you touched my life
And whether I like it or not, I think a part of me will never give up this fight
‘Cause there’s nothin’ like you and I
No, there’s nothin’ like you and I
But it’s gettin’ late in the game now, outcome’s uncertain
These are things that I needed to say before the curtain
So I wrote you the song that you deserve to let you know
You will always be my first and most wonderful love

You play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to walk you home
If not the one, then you’re the first
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home

And I would love to be
The one to walk you home
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Can I walk you home?

Well, I’m so poor, I can’t even pay attention

Ranní šero v prázdným kupé, divnej klid
Jen vlak se houpe a já kdo ví, co na srdci mám
V kapse kudla po tátovi už chytá rez
Sbohem kovboji. Jak dál? Na to už přijdeš sám

Ranní šero v prázdným kupé koupe se
V mlze ústeckej kraj, vlak Chomutov - Kadaň
Veselý tváře kamarádů bych viděl rád
Jak se asi maj? V kelímku stydne čaj

I forget all my dreams
I forget everyones name I meet
I forget about time and space
But I can’t stop thinking ’bout your face
I can’t stop thinking ’bout your face

Called you up and I could tell you just how much,
No no, maybe I’ll just get drunk and it will all make sense.
Or if I weren’t so nice, I convince my friends that you aren’t right
I could promise you my heart don’t cry, but would it all make sense?

Cause I, I’ve been feeling pretty small,
Sometimes feel like I’m slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold it seems to break.

And we’ll walk the places we always go
A million faces I don’t know
I’ll say the words you’d always hope
Sets our hearts racing even though

I know what you told me
I know that it’s all over
And I know I can’t keep calling
Every time I run, yeah, I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it’s all over
And I know I can’t keep calling
It’s just every time I run, yeah, I keep on falling on you

Well I’ll take all the vitriol
But not the thought of you moving on
