Adelaide
Verse 1
I can’t believe the lengths you’re willing to go to
To make me realise
Guilty’s not the word for what I’m going through
But it will have to do tonight
Chorus
I don’t understand what went wrong
Or why’d you have to go
Only you and Adelaide know
Verse 2
I’m trying hard not to slip too far
Back to who I used to be
Then again maybe that’s where this all went wrong
When I let you change me
Chorus
I don’t understand what happened here
Or why did you have to go
Only you and Adelaide know
Mid 8
It caught me by surprise
But apparently everyone I know
Could see it in your eyes
Could see it come for miles
But didn’t let it show
But really, only you and Adelaide know
Verse 3
I can’t believe how much the world seems to have changed
In just a couple days
I’m trying hard not to slip too far
Back into my old ways
Chorus
I don’t understand what went wrong
Or why did you have to go
Only you and Adelaide know
Only you and Adelaide know
Only you and Adelaide know
Only you and Adelaide know

Half Seas
Verse 1
I recall, I was half seas over
Where I was, when I said I won’t be
Just one, half seas over
Chorus
And if I’m on my own, until this day is done
At least I’ll be half seas over everyone
Verse 2
Teach myself, the truth is usually harder
And it’s green, greener here than when we started
There’s a bad taste, but it’s fading now it’s clear
Chorus
And If I’m still here, if it comes to it
At least I’ll be half seas over this
Verse 3
In between, the dream is something new
Out of tune, but fresh and on the move
Chorus
And If I’m still here, when this day is through
At least I’ll be half seas over you
At least I’ll be half seas over you

Verse 1
If I could start again I'd find a different way
But it's too late
If I'm lucky I'll be back by boxing day
But it won't be the same
Please don't look at me like that
It's so hard as it is
Verse 2
I don't blame you but it's hard to force a smile
When you leave each time
I'll pretend, I'll be stoic 'til the end
But their faces show I'm lying
I know the reason that you're leaving
There must be another way
Why can't you stay?
I can't stay
Verse 3
If I fight it, there's no way I can win
It's not that kind of game
Push back hard or take it on the chin
It's not quite that plain
You're the reason that I do this
And you're the reason things must change
Why can't you stay?
But I can't stay
Why can’t you stay
No I can’t stay
Middle 8
I will miss you but I’ll hate you just the same
Every time I hear your name
I'll be back in time to make it up to you just before I have to leave again
Verse 4
Just tonight let's pretend that we don't know
But it's too late
You'll be sleeping when it's time for me to go
Why can't you stay
Please don't look at me like that
It's so hard as it is
Why can't you stay?
But I can't stay
Why can’t you stay
No I can’t stay

King Street
Verse 1
I’m gonna move to king street
Gonna move to number 9
Gonna take my pictures, take my dog, I’m gonna take my time
I’m Gonna be alright
At King street
Verse 2
The tracks are rumbling
Words fall down like rain
Sleep is creeping
Not all pain’s the same
I’m not fine but I’ll be fine
At King street
Middle 8
Bide my time
Bite my tongue
Put out fires
Then light another one
Check my pulse
And move along
Verse 3
Gonna win the hand
When I lay down my cards
The train rolls close by
But always seems so far
I’m not fine / but I’ll be fine
At King street
I’m not alright / but I’ll be alright
At King street

Lights
Verse 1
I’m on the train
I’m on my way back home again
I hoped you’d wait
All I can do is hope you’d wait
Verse 2
I’m falling in
I’m making this up as I go
I hoped you’d stay
All I can do is hope you’d stay
Chorus
If you’re home please leave the light on
Don’t make me find it on my own
If you’re home please leave the light on
I can’t find it on my own
Verse 2
I drive away
Faster than this day can break
I hoped your way was to love me
I can’t stay
Now I can’t stay
Chorus
Mid 8
I broke all the rules
I kind of bent the truth
When I said I knew what to do
I bent all the rules
I bent all the rules
I bent all the rules
Verse 4
I’m on the train
I drive away
I’m on my way back home again
Faster than this day can break (simultaneous)
I’d hoped you’d wait
All I can do is hope you’d wait

Lontano da Casa
Verse 1
I thought it through
I think it's time that I let you know
The way I feel, what you mean to me and the way things go
A clearer vision of the landscape comes
As you move /
further 'long the road
Verse 2
If you were mine,
I know that I / would never let you go
I know it when you / look away so I can’t see the lows
I am the one who’s always leaving,
So I thought I had to say
Chorus
Lontano da casa
I pray you know what I mean
Lontano da te, too far away from me
Verse 3
It's not gravity
Time moved so fast but now it's moving slow
1000 miles,
It don’t seem too far as the black cry flows
That doesn't mean a thing
Until you're forced to let it go
Chorus
Middle 8
The view’s so good from way up here
We close our eyes and it all disappears
I find the keys and I step inside
And I am not alone
We both can feel it won't last
You'll be gone again before we know
A clearer vision of the landscape comes
As you move further ‘long the road
Chorus

Pantomime
Does anyone else care?
That's not the question
Why are you still there?
That’s not to be mentioned
If I am still a child, can I please go home tonight?
From the floor to the rafters
we've seen all the changes
Seems the wrong way around
Starting friends, ending strangers
If I am just a child, can I please go home tonight?
When I get back, it'll be alright
This feels like a stage
Pantomime, misdirection
How little you’ve changed
Yet there’s no recollection
If I am still a child, can I please go home tonight?
If I am just a child, can I please go home tonight?
Are you keeping track?
You’re mind says stay but your body feels flight
When I get back, it'll be alright

Silverline
Verse 1
Paint is peeling from the walls
Cracks appearing where they weren’t before
Overflowing, overheard, overgrown
You won’t be alone
Verse 2
Swarming like they’re unaware
Perched in numbers like they couldn’t care
Steam is rising from the street now the sky’s clear
I won’t waste this time
Chorus
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll wait for you there
Riding on the Silverline
Waiting for you there
Verse 3
Re-aligning, rearranged
Intertwining while you separate
Counting numbers while you hesitate
I won’t stand in line
Chorus
I’ll meet you on the other side
I’ll wait for you there
Riding on the Silverline
Waiting for you there
Riding on the Silverline
Riding on the Silverline

Forgotten
Verse 1
When I see you leaning up against my car
When we're sitting close shoulders at the bar
When you’re everywhere but nowhere
When I feel you standing right beside me
When you’re whispering something close into my ear
When your hand is on my shoulder but you’re not even here
Chorus
You’re not forgotten
It was not in vain
Though it’s strange without you
Won’t ever be the same
Here I go
Falling once again
Long time sleeping my friend
Verse 3
When you’re quietly asking me for advice
When you’re wondering what the weather up here is like
When you turn up here for that surprise
Verse 4
When your voice is distant down the phone line
When l turn that stereo on and my
Calendar tells me it's years since you were mine
Since you were mine
Chorus
You’re not forgotten
It was not in vain
Though it’s strange without you
Won’t ever be the same
Here I go
Falling once again
Long time sleeping my friend
Since you were mine
Peaceful sleeping my friend

Ticket
Chorus
Threw away my ticket
Fell in love with how this rolls
This town, the heart, the cold
Said goodbye to what I knew
Why I stayed, why I left you
Now I’m Gone to find the gold
Verse 1
Spent all the money I had on a case of wine and I don’t regret my time
I don’t recall, a dollar, a cent, any misplaced bets,
I sat on the edge of the highway
That rolls right round bay
I had it all that day
Chorus
Verse2
The fog rolls in just when you don’t suspect a thing, takes it all away
Never gives back anything, you opened the door you said
There’s not much air in here
I got in anyway
Craving a harder way
Middle 8
I got to see the mess
Seemed like pretend
You stayed right up to the end
Despite taking the fall
I found out on who I can depend
Chorus

Taking sides
Verse 1
I’ve got nothing left to say
Who am I to lay blame
Whatever comes our way
I know I can’t complain
There’s no point taking sides
There are no sides to take
Sometimes you seem to dream
Though you know you’re wide awake
Verse 2
We’ve got nothing left to prove
Sometimes I wish we did
I know how this story ends
Now where do I begin
Chorus
It’s been moving too fast
It’s feeling too slow
Just waiting
For one of us to go
Verse 3
A scratch repeating in the groove
We’re all running out of time
Nothing new to say or do
Suspended here between the lines
Chorus
It’s been moving too fast
It’s been feeling too slow
Just waiting
For one of us to go
