All Play No Work

Same old story, the only one I know
New day, little change, moving slow
World outside waiting while I just keep on hesitating
Can't bring myself to take a look at another word in this picture book
All play and no work means that I'm always having fun
All play and no work leaves nothing more to be done
Searching for new satisfaction
Every stone unturns a pleasant distraction
Incoming call wants to tell me the latest drama
Just another voicemail piling up on my camera
All play and no work means that I'm always having fun
All play and no work leaves nothing more to be done
Oh oh oh - oh oh
Oh oh oh - oh oh
Need more distraction, new satisfaction
Need more distraction
Need more distraction, new satisfaction
Need more distraction, new satisfaction
Distraction, new satisfaction
Distraction, distraction
All play and no work means that I'm always having fun
All play and no work leaves nothing more to be done
Always having fun

Empty Hands

I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Stars aligned, but not at the same time
I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Paid the time no attention and lost the direction
When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands
Tried again with a letter that I knew I would never send
Drew a map of your heart and all the ways to keep it from falling apart
Almost called, lost my nerve, ended up staring at the wall
Smoke signal instead, vanished like all those words I should’ve said
When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands
I was late, you were waiting for me in the wrong place
Stars aligned, but not at the same time
When the time is right we’ll find a way we can
Fill the spaces in between our empty hands
When the time is right
We can fill our empty hands

Start Over

So glad you came here to tell me you care
I can see you, but I don’t feel you there
As you slip further and further away
Please take to heart what I have to say
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on it’s not too late
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
I know we can’t change the past
I just thought this would always last
Now there’s that distant look in your eyes
Makes me wonder if it’s you or you in disguise
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over x 4
Only thing I know
Hardest part is letting go
Maybe all we have left is goodbye
I can’t give up without another try
This match may not have much more to burn
We can light another when you return
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over
Hold on it’s not too late
Hold on it’s not too late, we can start over

My Fault
02:30
|

Here we go again
Somethings wrong, let’s not pretend
One of us will get the blame
Before we both go up in flames
I know you’re thinking
It’s all my fault
I know you’re thinking
Same old situation
Stuck inside an endless conversation
Feels like déjà vu
Unsolved mystery with no clue
I know you’re thinking
It’s all my fault
I know you’re thinking
I know you’re thinking
It’s all my fault
I know you’re thinking
Round and round and round we go
By this time we both should know
Only thing left that makes any sense
Neither of us are innocent
I know you’re thinking
It’s all my fault
I know you’re thinking
I know you’re thinking
It’s all my fault
I know you’re thinking

We Still Know

Hotel room on the second floor
I get the feeling I’ve been here before
Front desk visitor while I was away
They said it was you, but could not stay
Left a message asking do I have the time
Talk about the pieces left behind
Sincerely signed you know who
How could I forget, of course I do
We still know, we still know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We still know, we both need to let go
Just in time early wake-up call
Saved me from a dream heading for fall
Out of bed, get dressed, then I’m on the street
Looking for the cafe where you said we should meet
First one to arrive, I don’t see you there
Find me at the table with the empty chair
Stayed there too long, couldn’t wait no more
Then I saw you standing at the door
We still know, we still know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We still know, we both need to let go
We both need to let go
So many things changed
Even more have stayed the same
That’s the reason I came to see you for one more goodbye
We still know, we still know
We still know, we still know
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We still know, we both need to let go
Go-oh-oh
We both need to let go
We still know, we both need to let go
Go-oh-oh-oh

Unspoken Hopes

Forever are the unspoken hopes
Forever are the unspoken hopes
Singing to me in tongues
They send all their voices
From far away
Forever are the unspoken hopes
Singing to me in tongues
They send all their voices
From far away
Forever are the unspoken hopes
Singing to me in tongues
They send all their voices
From far away
Forever
Forever are
Forever are the unspoken
The unspoken hopes
The unspoken hopes
Forever
