Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?
Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
I said maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
Now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Maybe I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
'Cause I just wanna fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone?
Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don't wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever

VERSE 1
I saw you, walking hand in hand
Smiling faces before me
When I can barely stand
Were you together when we were?
Disrespect my family name
When all I can see is her
CHORUS
You said you’d still be there for me
When your head is on his shoulder
There’s no such thing as destiny
His head on your chest as your heart grows colder
VERSE 2
When he lays down by your side
Dare you close your eyes, lest I appear
We’ve learned nothing from our histories
We’ve repeated ours my dear
We’ve repeated ours my dear
CHORUS
You said you’d still be there for me
When your head is on his shoulder
There’s no such thing as destiny
His head on your chest as your heart grows colder
MIDDLE 8
You’ve given me everything I need
To start this funeral pyre
CHORUS
You said you’d still be there for me
When your head is on his shoulder
There’s no such thing as destiny
His head on your chest as your heart grows colder
As your heart grows colder
As your heart grows colder
As your heart grows colder
As your heart grows colder
As my heart grows cold for you

VERSE:
This letter
That I wrote to you
Tells you the things that you’ve done
That I so object to
You’ve lied and you’ve stolen
Raked my name through the mud
Taken my family
We all share the same blood
Get down to your knees
Pray for redemption
My mind’s not weak
You’re my exception
CHORUS:
My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has made me see
VERSE:
I know the bad days are gone
Still can’t tell you to your face
Innocence taken so long ago
The life you left it in it’s place
The partnerships we’ve made can serve to repair
We’re creeping towards old age
There’s no need to despair
You need to make amends right now
CHORUS:
My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has made me see
My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me
MIDDLE 8:
Whatever happens between you and I
I’m can say that I’ve survived
Whatever happens between you and I
I’m happy to say that I’m alive
CHORUS/END:
My love has told me
There’s more to life than you and me
My love told me
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has shown me
There’s more to life than you

Verse
Did I ever really know you?
Do we ever know ourselves?
We played your game for years and years
Til you put me on the second hand shelf
Well I got to feel your heart beat
It’s not much but more than skin deep
You float on an ocean of secrets
I’m the thing green grass beneath
Chorus
And I never felt love
And I never felt love
And I never felt love
Verse
Your red lips beneath the veil
Spit your lies but I taste truth
We’d have stayed that way for centuries
‘Til I finally understood
Whisper words into my mind
Tell me all I need to know
I can’t see behind your eyes
Our fire still glows
Chorus
I never felt loved
I never felt loved by you
I never felt loved by you
Guitar break
I never felt love
I never felt love
I never felt loved by you
I never felt loved by you
I never felt loved by you

VERSE 1
The story of my best friend
Latest for years and years
His hair was blonde when he first ran
Memories are crystal clear
The sea sold us stories
We didn’t want to hear
Make the most
My friend he was a quiet man
Who new wrong from right
We spent dark evenings
Smoking all night
Make the most
CHORUS
He never knew
What he meant to me
He never knew
What he meant to me
VERSE 2
We spent the school days in the classroom
I wished we’d skipped them all
Lain in green fields for two
Til his light was extinguished
Make the most of it
CHORUS
He never knew
What he meant to me
He never grew
Old enough to see
OUTRO
We drove that red Nissan
On warm winter nights home
The years stole our youth away
I refuse to run
I refuse to run
So make the most of it
Make the most of it
Make the most of it
Make the most of it
We made the most of it

Hostage

I wanna be alone
Alone with you, does that make sense?
I wanna steal your soul
And hide you in my treasure chest
I don't know what to do
To do with your kiss on my neck
I don't know what feels true
But this feels right so stay a sec
Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec
And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean
You're all I wanted
Just let me hold you like a hostage
Gold on your fingertips
Fingertips against my cheek
Gold leaf across your lips
Kiss me until I can't speak
Gold chain beneath your shirt
The shirt that you let me wear home
Gold's fake and real love hurts
And nothing hurts when I'm alone
When you're with me and we're alone
And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean
You're all I wanted
Just let me hold you
Hold you like a hostage
Like a hostage

VERSE
Can I tell you how I’m feeling?
Cos I haven’t in so long
Can you tell I miss my mother?
Not the woman you’ve become
PC
You let me down
When I was just a girl
You didn’t protect me
From the dangers in the world
CHORUS
Love is so simple
Why make it so hard?
Love is so simple
Why make it so hard?
Why make it so hard?
VERSE
Why come to me in the morning?
On a dark December day
Why cry in my kitchen?
My blood ran cold in my veins
PC
You let me down
When I was just a girl
You didn’t protect me
From the dangers in the world
CHORUS
Love is so simple
Why make it so hard?
Love is so simple
Why make it so hard?
Why make it so hard?
MIDDLE 8
And you waste all my time
And you waste all my time
I’ve wasted so much time with you
I’ve wasted so much time
I’ve wasted so much time
END CHORUS
His love is so simple
You save the ones you love
His love is simple
You save the ones you love
You save the ones you love
You save the ones you love
You save the ones you love
