Take Me Dancing

You’ve been gone for a long while
And I still dance from time to time
Without a partner since I can’t take your hand
But with my eyes closed I can pretend
Now I see you in the chair
Oh, smiling back at me you know I have no cares
Now I see you in the chair won’t you
Take me dancing on the kitchen tiles
Hand in hand how you spin me round
No man could ever have taken your place
But I know that you’ve never really been anywhere
You just don't care to show your face
You’ve been gone for a long while
And I did dance from time to time
My legs they no longer support my dancing heart
My confidence knocked by a walk proven a step too far
Now I see you in the chair
Oh, smiling back at me
You know I have no cares
Now I see you in the chair won’t you
Take me dancing on the kitchen tiles
Hand in hand how you spin me round
No man could ever have taken your place
But I know that you’ve never really been anywhere
You just don't care to show your face
And then everything disappears
And we’re in a room so long and wide
Just me and you and endless kitchen tiles
And I can’t help but think this must be what heaven is like
Just me and you dancing in the calming, endless moonlight
Take me dancing on the kitchen tiles
Staring back at me with that loving disbelief in your eyes
And if my legs won't hold up my dancing heart
You can pick me up and together again we will start

I Believe

How can you possibly make a decision when you can’t think straight?
When your mind is full of questions the kind anxiety creates
How can you possibly make a decision when you’re so scarred?
You’re stuck in a whirlwind, no escape route has been marked
I believe in you my love
So much and it’s true
You’ve had magic in your eyes
Since you were brand new
How can you possibly make a decision when your mind works over time?
Trying to find a way to get out, missed opportunities this time
How can you possibly make a decision when you stand in the same spot all day?
Smiling at strangers, the kind that don’t even look your way
I believe in you my love
So much and it’s true
You’ve had magic in your eyes
Since you were brand new

Goodbye

Goodbye my old friend
When all trust was lost/It was a silly idea to ever go on
You, yes you got it right
I’m glad I felt an ache and a break in the long run
It’s morning and i’m happy again
I, I should have known before I left
I should have guessed/could have warned me
But that was too much to ask for
Too much to hope for
Too much to expect from you
It’s morning and I'm happy again
The darkness it haunts you but the morning restores you
Now it’s hardly even a memory
For there is no space to store invaluable reminders
Every flicker of a flame is another wish granted
And patience will bring it all in good time
If I could go back I'd remove all the words
And keep my feelings to myself
If I could go back I'd take other advice
And leave when the words left your mouth
It’s morning and I'm happy again
The darkness it haunts you but the morning restores you
It’s morning and I'm happy again

Eye to Eye

Like a Spider you crawl
Create a home for us all
Darling please just let this go
In these webs that you spin
You have captured me in
Darling please just let this go
I remember the rules you sat down and told me
If we abide by these we’ll do fine
I remember it well but momentarily we didn't see eye to eye
Like a spider you crawl
Create a home for us both
Darling please don’t let us go
In these webs you have spun
I know I’m still number one
Darling please don't let us go
I remember the rules you sat down and told me
If we abide by these we’ll do fine
I remember it well but momentarily we didn't see eye to eye
Keep your eyes fixed on the back of your mind
Don’t leave it unattended you’ll be surprised
The pace ideas change
And how long it takes
To find your feet when your mind has set sail
When your mind has set sail
I remember the rules you sat down and told me
If we abide by these we’ll do fine
I remember it well but momentarily we didn't see eye to eye

Into the Wild

I feel a change
Feel a change coming
In the way the wind blows
The tune that she's humming
You stare into the future
And wish that you’d listened sooner
Now understand this is your one chance to shine
Don’t turn around there’s no second chance this time
Work yourself dead to please others who told you
Stick with eduction and the rat race will treat you
Still we fall into a manic depression
Realising their lies were to fund their system
Now understand this is your one chance to shine
Don’t turn around there’s no second chance this time
Now she walks head first
Straight into the wild
Never turns back
Straight into the wild
Now understand this is your one chance to shine
Don’t turn around there’s no second chance this time
Now understand your head’s in the clouds
You’re falling behind and there is no time
Look straight into the wild and always arrive
