Point of View

Moving Fast moments always here and then escaping
I don't look back in my frame of mind I am retracing
Ooo Ooo Ooo
I guess I've been gone I guess I've been gone
Ooo Ooo Ooo
For so long for so long
I walked the ocean and swallowed the sea
Then all of its waves came crashing on me
Blind to the beauty that I never knew
Did I miss the point of view
Focusing trying to capture everything existing
I cant sit still If I don't change the lens I'll keep on drifting
Ooo ooo ooo
I guess I've been gone I guess I've been gone
Ooo ooo ooo
For so long for so long
I walked the ocean and swallowed the sea
Then all of its waves came crashing on me
Blind to the beauty that I never knew
Did I miss the point
Did I miss the point of view
Did I miss the point of view
Running out running out of time
Running out running out of time
Am I close to breaking through?
Don’t want to miss my point of view
Running out running out of time
Running out running out of time
Am I close to breaking through?
Don’t want to miss my point of view
Don’t want to miss my point of view

I’ve never seen an Alaskan sky
I’d like to see it before I die
Blades of green to sheets of ice
I want to feel the endless night
I can’t watch the peeling paint
Crumble down around the frame
Broken glass reflect my face
I still don’t think I’ve found my place
Oooooh Alaska
Don’t promise me a better day
one tree falls a million ways
You will never know it either way
i never strayed far from the path
done with all my fear of that
I’d rather not know where I’m at
Brace myself and not look back
Oooooh Alaska
Don’t promise me a better day
one tree falls a million ways
You will never know it either way
Scared of death won’t cross the line
wasting life while I take my time
I’ve never seen an Alaskan sky
I’d like to see it before I die

Lost in the Dark

I thought that I was really onto something
Rolling like a rolling stone
Build a palace go on keep on shoveling
Panning for painted gold
Left me a field but the fields gone cold
Can’t draw water from cracks in the road
I bought into the words you sold
You were always gonna leave me on my own
You took my pieces I was breaking apart
Is it too late for me for me to have heart
Hey hey hey (x)
You shone a light and left me lost in the dark
I wish my jacket had a hood to cover
My face in the transit line
Freezing from the rain when I discovered
I’d been following the wrong signs
I’m coming to and it’s almost 1
Chainsaw throat from smoke in my lungs
I can’t wait for the break in the sun
I need to something to show me where I went wrong
You took my pieces I was breaking apart
Is it too late for me for me to have heart
Hey hey hey (x)
You shone a light and left me lost in the dark

Out of Focus

Black and white
Re runs of old conversations
That you I
Shared in so many locations
There’s not a time
I didnt hope
That you would climb out
To me below
Cos I am mine
But so are you
And there’s a billion people
Laying in the middle of their beds
Feeling hidden with a need for
Someone just to listen to their heads
But if we already have what they’re looking for
If we already have what we’re looking
Don’t blur this
Out of focus
Don’t run away
Don’t run away
2am
Tracing the tracks at the station
Oh where to go
When they run until separation
And all the nights
We left alone
They’re coming back
To bring us home
Cos you are yours
But so am I

No flowers in the window
No steps down the hall
We never found the time
To pick up and call
Emotions we show
That we never meant to
Cobble stone back roads
We never went through
We try we try to do our best
To leave behind our emptiness
To love each other through the rest
Heart to heart we must confess
All the good we ever won
We lost to things we’ve never done
And can’t forget
I’ve never been to Mexico
You never lived on your own
Why can’t we let go
We found our home
Two hands aren’t strong enough
To hold us together
When everyone’s telling us
Things could be better
All the things we’ll never know
Make it hard to call our house a home
There’s a whole wide world of things we’ve never done
And it’s getting in the way of how we love

“It is always difficult writing such personal things and knowing the people closest to me will speculate that they played a part in that. For me, this is a cathartic outlet. I hope it can be that for other people, too.”
