Running Out of Air

One look, and it's clear
You start to talk but I don't want to hear
You said It's time to stop, time to stop pretending
You think I'm so sweet but the truth is that I'm just repenting
You can't trust, you can't feel
Can't let me close to you in case I see you for real
And it's not my fault, you say you just need time
And I've got to walk away without knowing why
But it's alright, I know fear
It's something we could have faced over the years
But you looked away, smile sad, a little sigh
You took a sip of your wine and I shut my eyes
And I begged you, not to go
You were taking my life, the one that I'll never know
But you'd packed your bags, set to roll, just one thing more
I died as I heard the keys pushed through the door
All told, I don't know
But did I see tears in your eyes when you were turning to go
You won't take a chance, closing ranks, building walls
It's like I never knew your heart at all
Chorus
I called it in a rut
You called it falling out of love
I see the whole thing now
We were running out of air
I said that I could change
But I'm always the same

Zoe

She took a bath and washed her hair and painted on a smile
To the mirror she said, "You'll make it today"
She dressed in her favourite clothes but still she felt so bad
She knew that her destiny would take her away
'Cos I noticed that you'd seen the best of everything in me a
And I know that you have always been there for me
When I call
When I call your name Zoe
She sat the night through with a cider in her hand
The bonfire glowing low
And we sang "Lonely Hearts" with half a band
And the secrets that I'd let her know remain a secret still
I know you'd find it hard to understand
'Cos I noticed that you'd seen the best of everything in me a
And I know that you have always been there for me
When I call
When I call your name Zoe
Well you can take this song and put it in a pipe
You'll always have your say
And remember I'll always be thinking of you
I hope you know that you can smoke it if you like
Just don't give yourself away
And remember all that I have said to you
'Cos I noticed that you'd seen the best of everything in me a
And I know that you have always been there for me
When I call
When I call your name Zoe
And every night her painted smile gives way to all who're worth their while her painted smile
Gives hope to those who never see what is within but it's no sin
Zoe it's no sin
Zoe it's no sin
Zoe it's no sin, Zoe

Poseidon
03:23
|

Just one look before I'm gone
Just one glance before I sail away from you
Just one touch of your hand
Just one hint that I meant more than nothing to you
Just one point in time
Just one heart beating over and over for you
Just one little lie
Just one life that could have been mine
Just one kiss more
Just one, before it's time to say goodbye
Turn around and I'll be gone
Turn around before I turn you into stone
You're my Poseidon, dragging me under
Changing the very shape I am
You're my Poseidon, pushing me over
Shaking the very earth I'm on

To Be Yours
03:50
|

When you talk like that
When you whisper in my ear
Quiet spoken truths I should not here
When you touch like that
And you brush my fingers so
Likely accident,
But was it though?
Suddenly I'm floating on your sound
Folding me into your arms
Like a blanket wrapped around
Well I just want to be yours
When you move like that
When your hand runs down my spine
Breathless as we're losing track of time
When you sigh like that
And you brush away my hair
I will fall to sleeping without fear
Suddenly I'm floating on your sound
Folding me into your arms
Like a blanket wrapped around
Well I just want to be yours.
