Starting Again   LYRICS

Starting Again   2.42

Oh no, started again, know it’s coming
Over everything, is leaving me out
I don’t need to tell you it’s always there
I don’t need to say it, it’s always clear

Tried standing around, tried waiting for no one
I’m alone in this town, that’s weighing me down
Hate standing around, hate waiting for no one to come ‘round

Oh no, started again, stem the bleeding
Falling over again, still repeating
I don’t want your help, I’m comfortable now
I don’t want to hear it, you’re always clear

Tried standing around, tried waiting for no one
I’m alone in this town, that’s weighing me down
Hate standing around, hate waiting for no one to come ‘round

The Things I Do   LYRICS

The Things I Do   2.34

Don't understand the things I do, don't understand the things I used to do
Oh, oh, wish I'd get my shit together, don't understand the things I do

Haven't gone over for a while, and now you don't return my calls
Oh, oh, wonder what you're doing now, don't understand the things I do

I thought I'd seen the last of this kind of crowd
I long to find your friends and catch up once more

No excuse will do this time, should have started this before
Oh, oh, wish I'd get my shit together, don't understand the things I do

I thought I'd seen the last of this kind of crowd
I long to find your friends and catch up once more

Fahrenheit 32   LYRICS

Fahrenheit 32   3.33

Step through those old London lanes
And all the signs still point to rain, I'll be over there
Touch my heels on solid earth
Waste what little time is worth, I'll be under here

I've been careless of, idle, now it's gone
I've been catching all, to be taken on

The tourist stumbles into me
I feel the cold begin to freeze, I'll be over there
Pine for winters underground
Searching for that velvet sound, I'll be under here

I've been careless of, idle, now it's gone
I've been catching all, to be taken on
I've been careless of, idle, now it's gone
I've been catching all, to be taken on

Topfacedown   LYRICS

Topfacedown   1.58

All this time, nothing seems to work in time
Nothing seems to wear your top face down, like an empty room

I don’t wanna bring you down, til I get to know you
I don’t wanna bring you down, til I get to know you

Empty mind, a better place for me to hide
Nothing seems to wear your top face down, fall out, fall behind

I don’t wanna bring you down, til I get to know you
I don’t wanna bring you down, til I get to know you
I don’t wanna let you down, til I get to know you
I just wanna keep it down, til you get to know me

Tripitaka-san   LYRICS

Tripitaka-san   3.46

Oh no, started again, know it’s coming
Over everything, is leaving me out
I don’t need to tell you it’s always there
I don’t need to say it, it’s always clear

Tried standing around, tried waiting for no one
I’m alone in this town, that’s weighing me down
Hate standing around, hate waiting for no one to come ‘round

Oh no, started again, stem the bleeding
Falling over again, still repeating
I don’t want your help, I’m comfortable now
I don’t want to hear it, you’re always clear

Tried standing around, tried waiting for no one
I’m alone in this town, that’s weighing me down
Hate standing around, hate waiting for no one to come ‘round
