What If.....
What if you never noticed the lights came on Carried on dancing to that singalong
What if you got there early before the rush before the outside gets in on us
What if you scored the winner in extra time, climbed the tower afraid of heights
What if you swam a distance with no one around, is it recorded does it still count
Now its kicking at your front door Let it in see whats its worth
It could be worse it could be worse
Is this real or rehearsed
Break it down see how it works see how it works
What if you know its over and carry on, take all weakness and make it strong
What if you sang the chorus solo, every note finds its home
What if you said the punchline before the joke, lost all meaning but never gets old
What if you kept on digging that same hole, it's gets wider you strike gold.
Now its kicking at your front door Let it in see whats its worth
It could be worse it could be worse
Is this real or rehearsed
Break it down see how it works see how it works
Same as it ever was and will be If its made of concrete
It will have you on your knees
Whats the worse place you have been a station in between
The port town of your dreams
And it may not be for everyone, for everyone
The moment is free, its at your feet, don’t let it run, don’t let it run.

October Night

Close your eyes, eventually the noise subsides
We come back to life, we are breathing in all that we find.
October night is our time, October night is right
We’ll fall out of the sky, giving out about the after life Better off where they lie, safe and sound and out of sight
We synchronise, the judges scored the perfect dive We’re packing light, the heaviness is to one side
October night we’ll rise, and put all the wrongs right.
We’ll fall out of the sky, giving out about the after life Better off where they lie, safe and sound and out of sight
Soon we’ll be lost, too much energy spent wondering how this ends go slow.
We found the cure, its was there all along, left a trace but it was for us.
We dig tonight, find everything down the mine
And up we’ll climb and show it off in the good light.
I recognise that sign, passed before on the longest drive.
Soon we’ll be lost, too much energy spent wondering how this ends go slow.
We found the cure, its was there all along, left a trace but it was for us.

Soon We Rise
03:48

So we can back into the light, and got ourselves over the line All the while floating on our back, we cut through the water on the attack
Having a row that last all night
Dropping a penny from a dangerous height Wherever it lasts thats our tribe
O hello morning are you always this bright
Soon we’ll rise, chasing down the night, heeding no advice, pure wise
Its getting bright, someone check the tide, it’s the early bird that flies.
Keep me a space if you’re on time
We’re slow off the mark but not past our prime Give it a inch and we’ll take a mile
And on the last bend we slipped on ice
Your order was called but you were outside Arguing about the same thing twice Swearing to God it was the last time
And on the walk home you made it right
Soon we’ll rise, chasing down the nights, heed no advice, pure wise
Its getting bright, someone check the tide, it’s the early bird that flies.
And I’m not one for sleep, see the leaves from the trees.

You're The Proof

I’m coming down gently nice and soft
Count your blessings, with the smallest of talk It takes all day, divil the rush
,Nothing gained and nothing lost
Not to be trusted, from out of town falling in with the wrong crowd. Who drew first, hard to say
The kind of energy that tends to fade
But thoughts be gentle, don’t ask much My head is flat-out, legs are stuck Keep them guessing with every move ,We’re the theory but you’re the proof
We’re coming around now, the cobwebs are off The water welcomes the delicate and soft Clocks go back, We move on
Time is everything and everything’s long
Late in the evening, when no ones around Let it sink in, let it all out
What comes back, that’s real stuff
Draw the line and connect it up
But thoughts be gentle, don’t ask much My head is flat-out, legs are stuck Keep them guessing with every move We’re the theory but you’re the proof.

Coney

An island to explore all day, no phones and no mainland
Just rolled up jeans and my father’s coat and a light that will never last
The storm it tried to wake us up but wake us it could not
We drifted off in the summer heat when our heads landed somewhere soft
And down the rain did come, but not a drop for us, we were out of touch
We set up camp in a dodgy spot, on someone else’s land and stumbled on some hidden shade, sure this will do us grand
And at the water’s edge we heard every secret that never gets said.
But allow yourself, time to take a wander
Allow yourself, space to take a breather
Time itself, Is all we have to barter now.
At the first light we dived straight in and felt the morning chill
The blood did Boyle and warm us up now we are ready to face the hill.
And though we said goodbye a little bit stayed behind to keep an eye.
But allow yourself, time to take a wander
Allow yourself, space to take a breather
Time itself, Is all we have to barter now.
