I never tell you what’s on my mind because the truth is that you wouldn’t like it my thoughts are under lock and key they are in places you don’t see and I won’t let you get to me I always tell you where I’m going when you’re around, you see me every day if you can’t tell what I’m thinking of well, do you call enough? and do you call this I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try I didn’t come here to play games they are no fun to me all your philosophies tell me, love, why should I explain? your life’s a fantasy none of it’s real to me though I try to pick my battles, no matter what I choose, you never seem to lose I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try to break your heart I won’t try

Go 04:24
oh, how badly I need an anchor the shoreline’s fading fast you go I don’t follow I’ve got this list of things I like and a penchant for getting what I want you’ve got some nerve and a way with words and no one should put it past me to lie so if you know what’s good for you, you’ll go cause I have gone too far and won’t go back get wound up and don’t relax you have got your resolve, I know so go I’ll admit I don’t play nice when I know that your hands are tied I’m the look you’re the good book I am waiting for a yawn or a sigh so if you know what’s good for you, you’ll go cause I have gone too far and won’t go back get wound up and don’t relax you have got your resolve, I know so go

another day is coming to a close so I take off my clothes and climb into our bed I’ve locked the door, turned off the lights and welcomed in another night of wondering where you will sleep instead or will you drive all night, all night? I hope you don’t drive all night, all night all night – all night I miss the days when we could always write before the postal strike but we’ve still got the phone seems every week you’re on the road there’s always still another show but I will wait right here til you come home so will you drive all night, all night? I hope you don’t drive all night, all night all night – all night so will you drive all night, all night? I hope you don’t drive all night, all night all night – all night

I heard your new band online – they sound pretty fine, yeah, they sound pretty alright. I saw your new girl online – she looks pretty fine, yeah she looks pretty alright I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I hope it’s only for the distance hey, how’s your brother? I hope your dog is still around and how are things at the café? are you working there today? yeah, I loved that place. I bet it still rains all the time it made me lose my mind but I bet you do fine. I hope you still laugh all the time and that you didn’t change your mind but I bet you’re doing fine… I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I hope it’s only for the distance I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I know we never really talked and probably never will probably never will I hope it’s only for the distance

Fine 03:49
you’re tearing my heart out with every word you speak. take me to the park we’ll give in, in the dark, and let the city fall asleep I know it’s hard to see the time ahead and not behind us I have no doubts – it’s just you, and the rest, I can do without now it’s only time til I’m yours and you’re mine and everything will work out everything will work out fine I’m living backwards now from the end to the start think you knew it, all along - I was right, it was wrong - and you won’t break my sweet little heart I know it’s hard to see the time ahead and not behind us I have no doubts – it’s just you, and the rest, I can do without now it’s only time til I’m yours and you’re mine and everything will work out everything will work out you’re tearing my heart out with every word you speak

The Needle 04:04
a needle, pulling thread a needle, pulling thread these are the things I do instead to soothe my hands and heart but not my head the days are wearing thin nothing lost and found is ever new again I am on the mend I am on the mend wake up dear, it’s almost noon you’ve got to get up and go to work soon I’ve got some errands that I’d better do see you tomorrow yeah, sure I’ll call you a needle, pulling thread a needle, pulling thread these are the things I do instead want to leave the house but I can’t get out of bed
