turn the page back
i cannot read the end
the early stages were so much more magnificent
and swaying on the balcony in the moonlight
won't you let my two arms catch your backwards fall
cuz i'm tumbling after you
it's my turn now to lose my mind
it's my turn now to lose my mind
i've been patient all this time
now it's my turn, it's my turn, it's mine
on my planet you call me every day
to say the words that make me young again
so if i'm twirling on the trash can
with my dress over my head
if i lose my step and ride the sidewalk down
would you tumble after me
it's my turn now to lose my mind
it's my turn now to lose my mind
i've been patient all this time
now it's my turn, it's my turn, it's mine
and if you said it, i'd believe you
even though it isn't true
it's just easier to think you love me too
so i'll tumble after you
i'm tumbling after you
it's my turn now to lose my mind
it's my turn now to lose my mind
i've been patient, i've been kind
now it's my turn, it's my turn, it's mine
it's my turn now to lose my mind
it's my turn now to lose my mind
it's my turn now to lose my mind
now it's my turn, it's my turn, it's mine
my turn, it's my turn, it's mine

Northbound Traffic

i could take the two lane road
to avoid the stop and go
get away from what i know and drive
past the northbound traffic
i could lose the gps
leave behind the freeway mess
put my compass to the test and glide
past the northbound traffic
and it's all that stands between us
this one here and that one there
i won't let the miles defeat us
i've got time to spare
i could roll the windows down
find another way through town
bypass all the runaround and fly
past the northbound traffic
if i take the scenic route
would it help me figure out
what this love is all about
despite the northbound traffic
weary of negotiation
i steer away from where i've been
headed for destination
where we both can win
it doesn't have to be a standstill
endless tail light losing ground
honey, you're the reason i will
find a way around
the northbound traffic
the northbound traffic
the northbound traffic
find a way around (the northbound traffic)
find a way around (the northbound traffic)
i'll find a way around...

Lay It Down

all this pessimism
makes me want to scream
i've got problems babe but i've got dreams
let's drive up the mountain
and see the view from there
let's sit silent and hear music that still fills the air
let's talk about the trees still standing tall
let's gaze up at the sky so blue
lay it down, lay it down
i see trouble all around
yeah, but i don't wanna talk about it now
let the world take a spin
you and i can just stay in
because i don't wanna talk about it now
oh my darling
have i told you lately
that your eyes are stunning blue
when the world gets crazy
it's not that i'm lazy
i just need some time alone with you
so let's stay on the couch tonight
turn off all the tv news
lay it down, lay it down
i see trouble all around
yeah, but i don't wanna talk about it now
let the world take a spin
you and i can just stay in
because i don't wanna talk about it now
lay it down, lay it down
i see trouble all around
yeah, but i don't wanna talk about it now
let the world take a spin
you and i can just stay in
because i don't wanna talk about it now
oh no i don't wanna talk about it now
no i don't wanna talk about it now

i spent my last two quid on number 62
and rode it all the way back home
and if i had my say
i would keep this place
as long as you would visit me
as long as you would visit me
and i would always keep you in my heart
finnieston
i walked downtown to meet you
at buchanan street
where all the buses take their place in line
you take my hand and say
now it's the perfect day
and i'm so glad you're here with me
yeah, i'm so glad you're here with me
and i will always keep you in my heart
finnieston, finnieston
finnieston, finnieston
and the 77 goes to ayr
and 4 to gowanbank from there
but we can't stay long
we have to go
catch 23 to our first show
i paid my bill at wetherspoons
then walked on down to waterloo
i have to get there right on time
and aboard the number 9
i waved the town goodbye
and wished that you were here with me
i wish that you were here with me
but i will always keep you in my heart
finnieston, finnieston
finnieston, finnieston

Skybound

in corners of my mind
you're staring back at me
i see the tension rise
i feel the energy
and i wouldn't do this if you're not serious
each time i look around
there's nothing to betray
i put one foot on the ground
nothing is in my way
i wouldn't do this to me
if you're not serious
i could be high as a kid
i could be free as a bird
but if i am skybound tonight
would i escape you unhurt
what if i make a scene
what if i get it wrong
would you be mean to me
or will you come along
cuz i wouldn't do this if you're not serious
we could be high as a kite
we could be free as a bird
but if we are skybound tonight
will we end up in the dirt
don't let me down
don't make a sound
don't break this thing i've found
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
and everything rewinds
it call comes back to me
all of those sleepless nights
all that bad poetry
i wouldn't do this
if you're not serious
we could be high as a kite
we could be free as a bird
whoever learns how to fly
without some bruises assured
we could high
we could be free
and whoever took to the sky
without some scrapes on their knees
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
we could high
we could be free
whoever took to the sky
without some scrapes on their knees
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
we could be skybound
(don't let me down)
