I gave you my number, I gave you my heart
I should of noticed, right from the start
The number was fake, but the name was so real
But you made me feel all the feelings I feel

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my friendship, I gave you my love
I thought you an angel, sent from above
Turns out you were a devil, sent from below
A devil bent on causing torture and sorrow

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my body, I gave you my mind
How is it that love is so easy to find?
Is it easy for you? Its not easy for me
To get over the person that you used to be

Is she, just another notch on the bedpost?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me
Is she, just a name and a number?
Or is she, the one for me?
All I know is that this is, this is
Not the place for me

I gave you my number, I gave you my heart
I should of noticed, right from the start
The number was fake, but the name was so real
But you made me feel all the feelings I feel

The day after yeasterday I saw you fly
I need to fly to get to you
Up in the sky,
But i dont know how
Don't mind whats in here,
For me now.
I just want to know,
How come you did not sing,
When i played for your night,
When i played for your day
How come there was no lyrics for me to play,
The melody of life,
To wich i cannot sing,
For i have..
No voice

No Voice to sing
No Voice to Play
Play for the day
Play for the night
Play for the day we say..
Goodbye

Goodbye to the day
The shadow of the night
The moon of the day
The rose's edge does fray
Fray to pieces
Pieces of me
Inside of you
Inside of me
Knowing the truth is not always best
Knowing you are just like the rest
Knowing you can never be..
Perfect

How come you did not sing,
When i played for your night,
When i played for your day
How come there was no lyrics for me to play,
The melody of life,
To wich i cannot sing,
For i have..
No voice

No Voice to sing
No Voice to Play
Play for the day
Play for the night
Play for the day we say..
Goodbye

You were racing through the mind
Now you say you haven't got the time
I couldn't let you leave
But you reduced me to my knees
I really can't let you go
But baby, let me know

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

You were the sun to my rain
You and me, forever and a day
You didn't have to up and wake me
You could of let me be
I should of used my heart and my head
I should of listened to what they said

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

I never wanted to let you down
But you just messed me around
We set sail into lover's sea
Why didn't you just leave me be?
It's true, i wasn;t so happy before
But you've bought me to the shadow's door

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you

I can't be anybody without you
I can't live for long without you
I can't breathe without you
Baby I don't exist without you
Cos I can't breathe witout you
Oh love, you strange twisted thing :)

The soap feels like rock in the shower
The water runs cold down my fingers
Like a blanket of snow over grass
It's taking too long, but I'm not really caring
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

The trees sing their sweet sorrow
The birds calling out to the night
The stars all blink out to darkness
As with each step you get, further and further away
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Stepping out of the shower and into the light
The day isn't quite yet over
Theres time still for this not to be
Another hopeless cause
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's jsut the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Your eyes how they glisten and glimmer
Like the shine of a new autum leaf
They stare like icey blood daggers
Knocked out just by one look
And I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cayse
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine

Climbing down the mountain of, my house stairs
Sprinting to the room where you, lying on my bed. I
Jump to the warm, stay there till dawn. I
know, you will be here, when I return
Oh I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But I held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same without your body next to mine

The trees sing their sweet sorrow
The birds calling out to the night
The stars all blink out to darkness
As with each step you get, further and further away
I'm off with the stars and their friends
It's just the end of another hopeless cause
But i held it so close, I need you right here
It's just not the same, without your body next to mine
And you're going, going, going, gone.
Death, relationships, depression and a really bad day.

Watching you, staring out the window
Out onto fields and cities wide
Looking for places to run, places to hide
But you can't hide

It's too far to walk and It's too short to run
It's too fun to measure and it's all so much fun

Nothing really cries out, nothing makes a sound
Running up the letters, making you cry loud
Does it need to be like this, it's all i really want
Do we need to stay here, and watch us fade away

I will not let you lie here, letting your life fade away
Because I know you will not let me, fade away

Reading is for concerts, and playing is for home
Can nobody win this game, against the garden gnome?
Seems a shame to let it go, to let it fade away
But then again, neither of us exist, anyway

Let it all run wild, let the grass grow long
Let it all overflow, while we all are gone
For when we return we shall fix
all the stones and broken bricks
It was made for us to break, it was made for us to fix
Life is just one big game, of old fashioned pick up sticks

It's our individual differences that let it sound the same
It's our geotypes and phenotypes that make it sound the same
It's the meaning of life, the universe and everything
It's the one small thing that keeps the clock tick, tick ticking

Why can we not see it?
Why does it hurt our eyes?
It's the inconvenient truth
our own genetic lies

It was our grand fathers fathers
And their fathers too
That created this here world
for me and you
But they made it wrong
They should of took their time
Instead they made it quick
Polluting yours and mine
Though we can make it better
If we take our time
We can make it better, for yours and mine

The skin of the world, is about to shed quick
The sun that moves closer, closer, closer
The top of our world is about to move south
The inside of the earth, is about to reach the mouth
And it's our fault, for not saving lives
We are the ones that let the bees out the hives
For two pounds a month we can save a small childs life
For three pounds a month we can sign up to xbox live
It's not our genetics that make us who we are
It's who we are inside, our thoughts, our feelings

Is it right that we have what they don't?
Should we divulge, in what they lack.
We sing this song, so they can sing it back
We all stand together
One earth
One thought
One fact
Help us all to make it so, let's change the world today
For we all stand together
One earth
One thought
One fact
A poem/song about the world and how it makes no sense.

I don't know where I'm going
I'm not even sure where I am
I don't know where I've been
I'm not even sure where I started

It feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to move
Just going with the flow
I don't really want to grow
Just want to stay here and linger

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to feel
Just want to stay still
I don't really want to taste
For it all tastes sour

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't really want to speak
Just feeling oh so gentle
I dont really want to listen
For theres too much noise

Cos it feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
I'm not afraid of anything
For time is mine
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
It doesn't make any sense
The letters do not rhyme

I don't know where I'm going
I'm not even sure where I am
I don't know where I've been
I'm not even sure where I started
It just feels like swimming
In a lake of solid gold
A poem/song about really not knowing what you want to do with your life,
or just being opposed to change, being happy with the way things are.
