All There Is 02:21
Hold I thought Keep your head Keep your course Seems my heart Longs for yours Too And though I’m cursed to wonder all these things Or if you’ve ever thought of me like this I never learned to see behind the wings There’s only room for you That’s all there is Speak my name Keep me close Feel the same Seems my heart Longs for yours Too Something unexpected dropped into my plate I would’ve waited too If I had known But you see I guess I waited anyway I wanna be close to you And though I’m cursed to wonder all these things Or if you’ve ever thought of me like this I never learned to see behind the wings There’s only room for you That’s all there is

Quiet darkness Stay long for us Feel that, my heart You must, you must Lean in, reach out Be close to me What if hands meet We touch softly Try to breathe and calm myself Arms are shaking All we need here on this couch Night is waiting Did we see or wonder how it starts Doesn’t matter Only breathing Dry mouth feeling Conscious of this Was I dreaming Seeing, barely By TV light Your face near me This must be right Arms are shaking Night is waiting Try to breathe and calm myself Arms are shaking All we need here on this couch Night is waiting Did we see or wonder Doesn’t matter How it starts

I was there when you were born All words too thin or said before And haul you in this world we warm But worth it as it is And if you’re strange to me In a world not understood Don’t you change for me Keep safe, keep sane, you’re good I hear you sing above the storm With words that ring with those before Your dusty boots beside the door For you that’s how it is And yes I’m scared for you And the problems that won’t fix And as I think of you That you may never exist Find the form to think We’ve all been wrong Choose before the brink We’ll learn, grow strong And I’ll be here forever Or till my time Keep us all together And we’ll be fine

For a day I’ll try your way And I’ll let you know in the spring I’ll reach out And I’ll try to shout But my tongue is tied with a string You remember when the world was cold And the sky was clear And the sun was gold And the earth between our fingers Damp and strong Just enough to make us long for… The turning of the tide The shudder of the wind The colour of the fire All these things Half your life You have tried to fight Oh I hope it works in the end Now we feel the sun And the dust in our lungs Have we lost the life we defend You remember when you lost that ring And the grass was wet And the sky was dim And we crawled around for ages Looking for that thing Soaking, laughing, freezing for… The turning of the tide The shudder of the wind The colour of the fire All these things

Grey 04:24
Take a breath It’s dry From here you can see How far you dove down Not here long So climb And think while you can Or hope to be found Grey… Mmm... Grey… Mmm… Back, too deep Just hold on It might be a while Till you surface again A year like this You’ve done it before So keep what you need And change what you can Grey… Mmm.... Grey… Mmm… You don’t know me But you know me better than anyone Hidden heart Find the sun Stare off, empty Try to draw that colour in somehow Gasp the world through your lungs Grey… Hmm… Look through time At your eyes And in this dream They sparkle again So keep your sight And try To change the lens Maybe see through the grey You don’t know me But you know me better than anyone Hidden heart Find the sun Stare off, empty Try to draw that colour in somehow Gasp the world through your lungs Grey… Grey...

You know If we lost then we’d still go ‘Cause it’s not just what you show Change the path but keep the home And I’ll Find my feet, I think, this time Learn to keep this fragile mind And to sleep but not to hide And I changed a path or two And turned my face And torn Let the light fit through To warm my days I hope We can keep this banner high Slowly creep up to the sky Lift our feet and know we’ll try And I changed a path or two And turned my face And torn Let the light fit through To warm my days And I changed a path or two And turned my face And torn Let the light fit through To warm my days I’ll find my feet I’ll find my feet I’ll try...

Fall 03:48
Forget the flood Water and mud It was enough You fill me up See the fire Keep it high You must be tough You fill me up And I know that much And you took my arm And I’d woken up And I was only waiting here before Turn with the light And focus my eye And never need to wonder what I saw And would I, would I, would I, would I fall Forget the blood Walk out in front I lost enough You fill me up Set the fire Hold to mine You know this love That fills us up And I’ve grown this much And you took my arm And I’d woken up And I was only waiting here before Turn with the light And focus my eye And never need to wonder what I saw And you were the part That made me stand up And I was only waiting here before And in the light Refocus my sight And never need to wonder anymore And would I, would I, would I, would I fall I’d fall for you… I’d fall for you
