Eli 04:02
I’ve been turning these words over in my mouth Writing them down, trying them out 
Pretending that they’re mine already,
 Making pacts with cupid 
What If I spoil it by saying something stupid? 

Spent but never wasted A summer picking brains 
We spent the summer catching trains 
I can’t explain it and make it sound lucid, 
Instead I’ll spoil it by saying something stupid...

 A thousand words, 
In my head 
Three words to put to bed 
Drowning in the overflow 
I only wanted you to know....

 You make me feel 
Like home’s a person, not a place 
You make me feel 
Like life's a journey, not a race 
I’m tongue tied, tired and blue
 and the only thing I see is true 
Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you... Grass stains and sunburnt shoulders Candy apples as the bonfire smoulders When you went home I couldn’t place how I felt Now there’s a part of me that lives somewhere else
 A thousand words, 
In my head 
Three words to put to bed 
Drowning in the overflow 
I only wanted you to know....

 You make me feel 
Like home’s a person, not a place 
You make me feel 
Like life's a journey, not a race 
I’m tongue tied, tired and blue
 and the only thing I see is true 
Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you... (you make me feel) - repeated I had plans y’know before you came and intruded Now all I think about, now all I think about is saying something stupid... I just wanna be inside your arms.. x 2 You make me feel 
Like home’s a person, not a place 
You make me feel 
Like life's a journey, not a race 
I’m tongue tied, tired and blue
 and the only thing I see is true 
Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you... When I’m with you...

Monsters 04:00
I’ve been looking for a story for almost all of my life I know there's one inside me but I can't quite tell it right I want to quiet my mind and silence my fears and just be honest about the last few years I was rowing upstream One summers evening 
I’d been ignoring the warning signs That I’d been receiving And by the time I realised That I had gone off track I had no idea how To get myself back I dove into the ocean trying to to get back to the river Swimming for the top but The moonlight just got thinner I thought I’d found my little boat But it’s anchor had gone slack I had no idea how 
To get myself back Monsters live in the dark And I've two wet sticks trying to make a spark If I raise the courage to turn on the light Maybe I'll sleep tonight x 2 Soon I hit the bottom With weights around my feet And as my lungs filled up I felt my energy deplete Defeated, I retreated I found a place to hide
 Soon enough three years had passed 
And I hadn’t been outside 

As I sent out an S.O.S 
I wondered what they’d think 
To know my life was not plain sailing 
That I’d let myself sink 
And by the time I’d picked myself up from the ocean floor
 I’d convinced myself 
 They wouldn’t want me anymore Monsters live in the dark And I've two wet sticks trying to make a spark If I raise the courage to turn on the light Maybe I'll sleep tonight x 2 
(I’ve been sinking, I’ve been sinking to the bottom of my mind 
I’ve been shrinking, I’ve been shrinking ‘til I’m too small to find) x 2 As soon as I stopped thinking 
My mind began to float
 I soon found my way back to my little old boat Too busy swimming to see
 That I never left the river And the river never left me...

 Monsters live in the dark And I've two wet sticks trying to make a spark If I raise the courage to turn on the light Maybe I'll sleep tonight x 2

Origami 02:50
There’s a fire burning out in your city I can see the smoke but not the flames Throwing sparks in whole new places And there’s something different When you say my, you say my name There’s a boat moving on down the river, The lights are on but there’s no-one aboard Nothing you say ever what it seems And yet nothing you say ever seems untoward seems unto, seems unto, seems unto, seems un- Toward the nectar drawn in by your colours as I move a little closer I see everything looks duller I’m far too close for comfort now, I let your words disarm me I thought I’d found my answer but it was only Origami There’s a bird flying out overhead, She’s caught your gaze, torn a hole in your skies, A universe glaring that you’ve never seen, And everything’s different before your wide eyes.. before your wide - Eyes fixated I can barely stand to face this What I see is just a mirror now I had thought was an oasis I’ve been collecting armour For next time you come to charm me You said you’d bring me flowers But they were only Origami I’m walking the footbridge looking out at the night Your boats pulling up as if I might get in I’ve learn not to notice, I know you won’t join me Just let me jump over even though I cannot - Swim until you find me On an island in the ocean Drag yourself to the centre Just to declare your devotion To your home that you have run from As you wrap your arms around me.. You gave me your heart But it was only.... Origami.

Molly Brown 03:36
‘Molly Brown’ Lyrics Feel like I’d probably better learn How to be okay With going completely insane For just four or five days Just four or five days Let the stormy winds Roll over the sea Without capsizing And drowning me And drowning me Is this what it feels like to die? A working body and a broken brain A straight face worn in vain... Is this what it feels like to die? A machine gun heart And a river in each palm A voice frantic with fear screaming Keep calm Is this what it feels like to die? Like my home’s too small But the worlds too cold Like I’m watching the world From inside my fishbowl Is this what it feels like to die Like I’ll never give up but I’ll never give in but the harder I fight, the further I sink Feel like I’d probably better learn How to be okay With going completely insane For just four or five days Just four or five days Let the stormy winds Roll over the sea Without capsizing And drowning me... And drowning me... Is this what it feels like to die? I’ll be here in a year No doubt a few more But that doesn’t stop the fear From waiting outside my door Is this what if feels like to die? Or am I growing in to something new? I’ll be seeing you in the garden Where you grew Feel like I’d probably better learn How to be okay With going completely insane For just four or five days Just four or five days Let the stormy winds Roll over the sea Without capsizing And drowning me... And drowning me...

Humbug 03:48
‘Humbug’ Lyrics If I only had the brain I'd ask the wise-man to explain  Why when I thought to turn around I left my insides on the ground  If I only had the heart I'd ask the wise-man to impart  Why when love's rain and thunder struck It left me standing, staring, stuck Muddied up Gaze to the floor And I can’t turn back I can’t go on anymore I’m just a little girl clicking my heels Trying to remember how home feels x 3 If I only had what’s on your feet I’d ask the wise-man to unseat The powers that have been And turn a whiter shade of green If I only had the nerve I'd ask the wise-man to observe Me fighting demons I can beat And lay my skin beneath his feet Muddied up Gaze to the floor And I can’t turn back I can’t go on anymore I’m just a little girl clicking my heels Trying to remember how home feels x 2 All I want’s somewhere to hang my coat I want you to hold me as I hang my head And I just wanna be inside your arms But I’m trapped in the grips Of something else instead Staring at the desert I fall to the floor As I see home’s not home anymore Muddied up Gaze to the floor And I can’t turn back I can’t go on anymore I’m just a little girl kicking my heels Trying to remember how home x 3 feels
