When you are In Photographs You know somebody will remember Their version of your design Even the hideous can be monstrously Beautiful in photographs Beautiful in photographs Beautiful in photographs Me I like the saddest songs The saddest hearts I search them out Unknowingly At least now I know it can’t be helped When I mutate, I hope you can separate My insides from my outsides And when the tapes are all eaten And the gas supply runs out And I run out of serotonin I pray you will still be there Not just in photographs Please Not just in photographs Not just in photographs Please Not just in photographs

It's cut grass baby There's no better high Than the windows open with you by my side Turn the radio on We don't pick a song The light plays a wild game Then disappears For so long We take a wrong turn Down the cul-de-sac Now we're playing hopscotch Without looking back Have the sprinkler on Cause it's hot again Our exhaust fumes trail as we head As we head To town I'll be your exhaust fume baby I'll be the balloon at your birthday party I'll take a buttercup chin dare I'll roll in the grass til my hair gets messy I'm on your video game team Cats at my feet as I start to read A ruffled skirt and a dandelion I'll get a summer time best friend I'll tell you about whatever you want to know Keep talking, don't ask I'll keep it inside It won't grow I was a dolphin I was a mermaid I was a swimmer I lived a dream I stared at fire and I swam in the cool lake Was mesmerized by the subtlest things I was a reader I was a panther I ruled a kingdom I could be mean I was a witch and I was a wild storm But I was never Quite what I seemed Didn't feel what danger was 'til they told me Didn't see myself as a separate thing Didn't know what pretty was 'til they told me Didn't know a girl was a thing you could be

There I am I hear my heavy hardened heart And I remember How you made me cry last night And cry this morning Now And I'm forgetting love Cause I can't feel it If I can't touch it Where were you? At home sulking in your beer And I should be there Or is it that you should be here? And I am thinking Thinking of leaving Just on a visit Never returning Here comes the night Here comes the night Here comes the night Do you believe in the promises we made? Here comes the night Here comes the night Here comes the night Do you believe in the promises we made? Here we are Reading blank pages of space Birth to silence Will it offer us relief? And deep beneath your skin And all your wishes There is a boy I love Who brings me roses Here comes the night Here comes the night Here comes the night Do you believe in the promises we made? Here comes the night Here comes the night Here comes the night Do you believe in the promises we made?

I want to love you like a martyr I want to love you like a king I want to love you like a God I want to love more than I've loved anything I want to love you like a poet I want to love you like an artist I want to love you like a princess I want to give you everything You're silver, you're gold You're mine to hold You're leather, you're cream You're everything Don't look at us Cause we'll make you jealous You're found, you're lost You're dripping with brilliant things You're dripping with brilliant things I want to save you like a martyr I want to crown you like a king I want to worship you like God I want to love more than I've loved anything I want to write you like a poet I want to paint you like an artist I want to touch you like a scupltor I want to give you everything You're silver, you're gold You're mine to hold You're leather, you're cream You're everything Don't look at us Cause we'll make you jealous You're found, you're lost You're dripping with brilliant things You're silver, you're gold You're mine to hold You're leather, you're cream You're everything Don't look at us Cause we'll make you jealous You're found, you're lost You're dripping with brilliant things You're dripping with brilliant things

I find it terribly inconvenient That you should walk my way I never meant to fall for you But that’s a naive thing to say Now all the stuff movies are made of Is playing out in real life I’m just a sentimental fool Because I’ve got you on my mind Have I Told you everything tastes, tastes of that night In the blood the hail and the pain And I break when you are a ghost When I hold you close As you hold me tight I find it terribly inconvenient I can’t throw this all away/ And I catch myself writing love songs On the sunniest Sundays I'm meant to walk these streets alone and now I’ve got you in my heart Like a thorn stuck into my side That’s how it ends, that’s how it starts Have I told you everything tastes, tastes of that night In the blood the hail and the pain How I break when you are a ghost When I hold you close As you hold me tight Have I told you everything tastes, tastes of that night In the blood the hail and the pain And I break when you are a ghost When I hold you close As you hold me tight You came into the room I didn't know what to do with you You were too slippery to catch I took my line and then I threw it away Cause I have always been a dreamer I have always been a dreamer I have always been a dreamer I have always been a dreamer Have I told you everything tastes, tastes of that night In the blood the hail and the pain And I break when you are a ghost When I hold you close As you hold me tight Have I told you everything tastes, tastes of that night In the blood the hail and the pain And I break when you are a ghost When I hold you close As you hold me tight I find it terribly inconvenient That you should walk my way

The Highway 04:35
Driving down the highway, with the windows open In blows cold air listening to your magic music on the radio going somewhere Driving down the freeway, feeling like we're fallinng In blows cold air listening to your magic music on the radio going somewhere Did you know I miss you Miss you when you’re not here Think about you so much... Think you about your smile How you really shine And you’re always there Driving down the highway, with the windows open In blows cold air listening to your magic music on the radio going somewhere You know you’re the cool one You’ve got many secrets I can just tell Even when you sin I cannot begin to tell you how much I love you Here comes the rain We play it again Here comes the rain We’re on our way The rain The rain It's our getaway Particles travel But we're made of all our own designs Me I just smile Feel the cool wind blow And I know we're really shining Trust me, I can tell Our fiasco isn't done We've plenty more to go Driving down the freeway Feeling like we're falling In blows cold air Watching the trees blast by Did you know I miss you when you're not here Oh I think about your smile and How you really shine And you're always there Here comes the rain We play it again Here comes the rain We’re on our way

In liberty, we roam into the rolling fields and fall We’re small and fragile We cause alarm But we’ll die standing up Our schoolbooks muddled with great tragedy Forgotten figures lost A fortnight later, you will see what our tuition really cost In trying times, we fly together Though we’re dropping two by two We’re drowning happily in picture books Foamed waves to get us through We’ll fling ourselves down to the foaming Scarborough seaside Just to cry A plaque, a grave hangs in your place I stop My love, my love Goodbye In bright eyes and paintbrushes In white dress and cold feet In you, I might survive In you, I might just be And though our days are numbered And all our songs will live on In abstract reverie I will take you along with me In vibrant sunless autumns In soaked trees and endless streets I'll exist on a little smile Trying not to get dirty And there you sit with your hands ivy tight Pen glued on your blanched paper Cleaning prose in your swept up mind Engravings never fuss or bite Oh darling, your soul has abstracted In pieces and I can't regret but Must you intrude upon my sleep Through closed lids shut on secrets that weep? I would offer my every dream if I had tomorrow in me Oh darling, your soul has abstracted In pieces and I can't regret but Must you intrude upon my sleep Through closed lids shut on secrets that weep? I would offer my every dream if I had tomorrow in me Tomorrow in me
