    VALENTINE
    with all her talk of all the others
    when it shadows everything
    and i can't think
    about her silence and her rings
    i see no place to pin my thought
    and where's what's true between the lines
    and in her eyes
    i see nothing not a sign
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    
    sunday morning comes too soon
    to leave me standing in my light
    and there's no time
    to set it straight or take a side
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    
    i see no place to pin my thoughts
    and where's what's true between the lines
    and in her eyes
    i see nothing not a sign
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    and i'm untied
    i can't unwind
    your valentines
    
    
    
    IN MY HEAD
    i come pulling all the stops
    putting rain on all of this
    with the sirens in my sleep
    and her sorrow at my kiss
    i can't turn away
    hold a hand to when you pray
    all her vanity and fate
    written on her crazy face
    
    here in my head
    i hear you say
    here in my head
    i hear you pray
    
    time is what it's made
    made by others i regret
    remember me i hear it said
    out of faces i forget
    hope you get up off your feet
    shake the dust out of your shoes
    city lights and all my jazz
    all my demonstrations too
    
    here in my head
    i hear you say
    here in my head
    i hear you pray
    
    time is what it's made
    made by others i regret
    remember me i hear it said
    out of faces i forget
    
    here in my head
    i hear you say
    here in my head
    i hear you pray
    
    here in my head
    i hear you say
    here in my head
    i hear you pray
    
    
    
    UNTIL SHE COMES
    until she comes again
    i can hear the things she said
    i feel no thoughts to move my head
    until she comes again
    
    and with her step, i move my feet
    and with her hand, i feel my skin
    and with her need, i find i'm saved
    and with her dreams, i'm laid
    
    until she comes again
    the sun goes out and night comes in
    the time goes round and day grows dim
    until she comes again
    
    and with her step, i move my feet
    and with her hand, i feel my skin
    and with her need, i find i'm saved
    and with her dreams, i'm laid
    
    until she comes
    until she comes
    
    until she comes again
    with all my savings and my sins
    there's no good reason to begin
    until she comes again
    
    and with her step, i move my feet
    and with her hand, i feel my skin
    and with her need, i find i'm saved
    and with her dreams, i'm laid
    
    until she comes
    until she comes
    
    until she comes again
    with all her dreams tied in her hand
    there is no why to understand 
    until she comes again
    
    until she comes again
    the sun goes out and night comes in
    the time goes round
    and day grows dim
    until she comes again
    
    
    
    DON'T BE A GIRL
    don't be a girl for all their kisses
    for all their kisses taste so sweet
    
    don't be a girl for all their flowers
    all their flowers fade when the day comes 
    
    and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
    don't be a girl, not for me
    and on your face, i've seen their names
    don't be a girl, not for me
    
    don't be a girl for all their money 
    for all their money comes so cheap
    
    don't be a girl for all they promise
    all their promises come so easy
    
    and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
    don't be a girl, not for me
    and on your face, i've seen their names
    don't be a girl, not for me
    
    don't be a girl for all their roses
    all their roses tell me they want you
    
    don't be a girl for all their wishes
    for all their wishes don't come true
    
    and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
    don't be a girl, don't complain
    and on your face, i see their names
    don't be a girl, not for me
    
    and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
    don't be a girl, not for me
    and on your face, i see their names
    don't be a girl, don't complain
    not for me
    
    
    
    SOMETIMES
    i see you sing
    i don't need your praise
    i need a hand, she said
    you said it's worth
    all that is mine
    prove it, sometimes
    
    under a moon 
    that shines like it's day
    it hangs like a star, somedays
    i'm getting blind
    i see with your eyes
    it's too dark, sometimes
    
    prove it, sometimes
    
    your head in my hands
    gets darker than night
    it's tearing me down, sometimes
    the world's like a friend
    i find i can smile
    don't say "don't cry"
    
    prove it, sometimes
    
    i see you sing
    i don't need your praise
    you hold out a hand, she said
    you said it's worth
    all that is mine
    prove it, sometimes
    
    prove it, sometimes
    prove it, sometimes
    
    your head in my hands
    it's darker than night
    it's tearing me down, sometimes
    under a moon
    shines likes it's day...
    
    
    
    TEARING DOWN
    the flowers they cover your feet
    all the colours of you 
    and they shine over all i see
    and all i see
    is all of the tears that i spent
    those that fell over nothing
    and landed here where i stand
    and in my hand
    
    i'm tearing down the flowers sent
    and all of them
    i'm tearing down your hollow heart
    and all of that
    
    all the flags that i rose
    that i hung out of windows
    and stuck on the sky like crows
    but you want more
    
    i'm tearing down the flowers sent
    and all of them
    i'm tearing down your hollow heart
    and all of that
    
    all the ribbons, they hung in your hair
    you turn in the mirror to me
    and i see you there
    and i don't care
    i took off all the rings from my hand
    yeah and all of the birds from the sky
    over where i stand
    and you want more
    
    i'm tearing down the flowers sent
    and all of them
    i'm tearing down your hollow heart
    and all of that
    i'm tearing your down your promises
    and all of this
    i'm tearing all your flowers down
    and all of that and this around
    
    
    
    THERE'S A WORLD
    i can't wait to say goodbye before you break
    in you, i get torn in two
    you don't see my reflection in my scenes
    you fall, i don't come at all
    
    i can almost feel you bleed
    you've been falling in too deep
    i can almost hear you say
    but your words get in my way
    why wait? 
    there's a world outside
    why wait?
    for the reason why
    
    i come soon from the shelter of my room
    you don't move
    coming down on you
    i can't fall
    all that does is made to crawl
    i'm one, leave the world undone
    
    i can almost feel you bleed
    you've been falling in too deep
    i can almost hear you say
    but your words get in my way
    why wait? 
    there's a world outside
    why wait?
    for the reasons why
    it ain't always what i want
    it ain't always mine
    why wait?
    there's a world outside
    
    you can't win
    coming from the state you're in
    you don't see
    my reflections and my scenes
    you fall, i don't come at all
    
    i can almost feel you bleed
    you've been falling in too deep
    i can almost hear you say
    but your words get in my way
    why wait? 
    there's a world outside
    why wait?
    for the reason why
    
    it ain't always what i want
    it ain't always mine
    why wait?
    there's a world outside
    
    it ain't always what i want
    it ain't always mine
    why wait?
    there's a world outside
    
    
    
    GET A ROOM
    don't want order
    it won't come
    there's no why that it goes on
    i was tied and i'm undone
    i've got all that you don't want
    you want order i want more 
    you want it all and
    all of it's yours
    you want shelter
    i get a room
    i get a room
    
    my confusion leaves me cold
    i've got nothing here to hold
    all that's gold will never shine
    it was nothing, nevermind
    i want time, i want it now
    my confusion's getting me down
    you want shelter
    i get a room 
    i get a room
    
    what of yours is there to keep?
    to be there when you sleep
    i'm not here to tie your feet
    hold a hand upon your sleeve
    there's a nail to hang the wall
    it pays to lose it all
    a note to hind behind the door
    i get a room
    
    where you sleep, i lay awake
    i saw every time you fake
    i held on the hand that takes
    and you hate it when i break
    you want order 
    i want more
    you want it all and 
    all of it's yours
    you want shelter
    i get a room
    i get a room
    
    i get a room
    
    
    
    BETTER DAYS
    
    people call to say hello
    they call to talk about the weather
    all the places i don't go
    they call to talk to me
    they've got names without a face
    and they've got faces i don't see
    
    from the corners of my mouth
    i hear your voice come falling down
    from the corners of my mouth
    can't hear myself at all
    
    all my senses in a know
    it gets too dark in here
    that i can't move
    and i can't feel to touch
    and there's you standing in my clothes
    a perfect picture with you on my side
    i never let it show
    
    from the corners of my mouth
    i hear your voice come falling down
    from the corners of my mouth
    can't hear myself at all
    
    i can't seem to find my feet
    my body's shaking and
    my tongue can't move
    i turn my head to speak
    i hear you call my name
    i hear you calling me
    on better days 
    on better days
    
    from the corners of my mouth
    i hear your voice come falling down
    from the corners of my mouth
    can't hear myself at all
    
    from the corners of my mouth
    i hear your vioce come falling down
    from the corners of my mouth
    can't hear myself at all
    
    
    
    ALL ABOUT YOU
    now the time is almost done
    the race for last is almost run
    and almost paid
    from where i stand, i've got a view
    out of all the miles of you
    where i wait
    
    i know what's true
    all about you
    
    through my window there's a sound
    there's a face in every crowd
    a lot like you
    is what you wanted what you took?
    all the lines that leave you shook
    leave me cold
    
    i know what's true
    all about you
    
    someone's knocking at my door
    down my stairs, i hear you call
    but i won't wake
    the seconds move the time along
    and all my silence seems so long
    i don't break
    
    i know what's true
    all about you
    
    i know what's true
    all about you
    
    i know what's true
    all about you
