Baby 03:16
How many minutes 'til I'm with my baby?... All my heart's with you... How many minutes 'til I kiss my baby?... How many minutes 'til I miss my baby?...
2.
Whatever happened to your health? You wanna listen to yourself 'Cause baby blue sky went away Let's go back the way we came Six more sleeps until today Six more steps along the way And I ain't ever gonna be The thing you thought you saw in me Won't you listen, baby, please? I'm not what your schoolgirl sees I've been crawling on my knees The day that you went away The day that you went away
3.
I like the way Your sentence stops on time Until today The waiting world was mine God-fearing girl You're lying to yourself Bed-ridden boy Your life's upon a shelf Standing in the doorway Been waiting here for weeks There's a girl I imagined With rose petals in her cheeks But now there's only nothing As far as I can see Our lady of the roses Were/was you waiting there for me? If I could lay My wasted body down To sleep off the shivers And the tinsel of your town
4.
You know it's true I don't know what to do It's so brand new Changed your red shoes for blue It's just your teenage love anxiety This is what your blood runs for It's just your teenage love anxiety This is what your heart beats for The night-time, too It put a spell on you Oh, what to do? 'Cept turn your red light to blue You know it's true I don't know what to do But me and you Gonna turn your red skies into blue This is what your heart beats for This is what your heart beats for This is what my heart beats for This is what our hearts beat for
5.
Saying what's on your mind again Wanting to wander way back when To all the answers we already had Before the chances that turned out so bad Seems like forever since I was the one Seems like we'll never walk in the sun If you're so clever, why do you run? Seems like we'll never walk in the sun Playing upon your mind again Wish I could make it through again But it's gone and then is now You always shone, so show me how
6.
So She Says 02:48
So promises are broken again Been trying since I can't remember when But now it's been too long And what I did was wrong I can't care less Or so she says So all your dreams are all falling down Just can't stop the circle turning round But she's the one who chose And now she thinks she knows I can't care less Or so she says I'm walking through the rain But she can't feel the same I can't care less Or so she says
7.
Q & A 03:05
Give me sixteen questions I'll give you sixteen answers There's never been a better time for you See you now and always In streets and empty doorways I've never known another one like you Give me sixteen questions I'll give you sixteen answers I'm blind by only having eyes for you I just watch the raindrops While you just make my heart stop I know we'll never get it back - do you? She's so sleepy She won't wake up for me And I'm just so empty I've nothing left to be Give me sixteen questions I'll give you sixteen answers I'll never love another girl like you
8.
On the day you went away All the things you couldn't say I don't know you anymore Now nothing's like before It's never like before And I feel you slip away from me... There's something more Something more Your princess diaries heart Has broken you apart Though sinking's not my style I'll stay here for a while I'll wait here for a while
9.
Your Top Ten 02:21
Did you choose your favourite men? Write 'em down in a top ten? Was I in it? I know I was Would you go through it again? To feel like you did then? Are you sorry? I know I was Did you really love the sounds? And the boys that you wrote down? Were you crying? I know I was Like a bullet from a gun Straight in at number one Are you ready? I know I was
10.
Sophie said she saw the sun It turned her round and that's the way to go But what if he's the one? He's always sure, but she'd just never know So she looks to better times She thinks again and she's okay today But she maybe wishes: 'He was mine', just sometimes Sophie says that she's okay Sure she is, but now's still just today Waiting to fall again This can't go on - something's gonna change All she has to do is say And he'll come and take her walking by the sea Hoping that she's wishing: 'He was mine', just sometimes
11.
I saw her walking away Just yesterday Just someone I used to know And out on the street I still save a seat Just for someone I used to know You always held your head up high When you walked down the street Now I'm hanging on your last words And every last heartbeat So tired of cheating time And people moving on But it's now and it's all gone... When I think I know her name I gotta stop and think again Just someone I used to know Any time was better than this And every day I'm gonna miss Just someone I used to know It's only words you never said It's only dreams inside your head Just someone I used to know It's everything I've never seen But I can hope and I can dream Just someone I used to know
12.
With Cracks 03:46
Tangled with a shop girl Sold me half her world I gave her all of mine for free All of mine for free Built it up to something With cracks to all fall down I ain't the boy she hoped I'd be Boy she hoped I'd be Making love made her eyes just cry If you're so up, why'd you get so high?... The blackness of her basement The hugeness of the sky Just left me all alone at sea All alone at sea Put her in for princess Missing two front teeth She's always beautiful to me Beautiful to me
