Run and Hide 02:31
Time to turn around try and find the courage not to fall behind, I'm feeling blind Can't find your hand to lead the way but I won't stray I see the sun creeping in through the trees as it shines playing warmly on my skin But I don't know where you are or where you've been Been contemplating for too long How could you be so wrong When all along I've known you like to run and hide So I guess I'll take a ride to the hills where it's green And get my head clean The sun is getting low Not sorry I have to go Wrestling and rolling on the floor First love I won't forget Bluff would come running through the back door She seemed upset But don't you forget the time we misspent Chasing dreams that got us nowhere running faster Running seemed to get us nowhere

It'll be a quiet day when you're gone Like the aftermath of a bomb Heartbreak bombardier Your target is getting near It'll be a cold day when you're gone I didn't have the time to run I was caught in the open And it was over in a moment It'll be a sad day when you're gone I won't have the stomach for anyone I stop myself for a year Maybe one day you'll appear It'll be a dark day when you've gone But I know that it had to be done Just like the atom bomb But it didn't bring us together Such a waste Why don't we go on a holiday Maybe we'll find each other someday There's a boy who's waiting for the 100% perfect girl but he passed her by There's a girl who's waiting for the 100% perfect boy but she passed him by Such a waste Why don't we go on a holiday Maybe we'll find each other someday

You know that you burst my bubble I thought everything was just fine Now it seems we're in trouble And that was way out of line When you said you'd try and didn't even bother You didn't bother oh how I shuddered You lied, I cried and you said goodbye You said I love you and the birds sang for me then The sun shown through your eyes and you answered my wishes with your tender kisses But the distance that you laid before us two Tell me what you're gonna do now Because you can't take it back No you can't take me back now You can't take it back No you can't take me back now
5.
Don't pose for the picture I like the way you look With that distant smile I hope that you would stay the same That knowing girl who'd rather stay and read all day Swept back all black like an old photograph With an expression so mild that it takes me back Love so lorn yet love so sweet It kept me up all night I could not sleep Picture picture Don't lie to me To freeze a day that was never that way Photo photo you've had your laugh now take it all back Don't pose for the picture It looks so bad To stand so still when you know it's not like that I had my chance I squandered it away all in one day Cryptic eyes do you ever lie Your gaze pierces through me That you make me want to Up and down the western wall We're on the edge I hope that we fall Picture picture Don't lie to me To freeze a day that was never that way Photo photo you've had your laugh now take it all back
6.
You're a sudden accident A highlight on an endless page of black and white and grey Park myself next to you with nothing to say And every time I hit a stall You're the one to catch me Fall asleep into your arms I'll just wait here for the bombs Oh Bomb drop on me I've got nothing left to see
7.
I've been on my medicine since Tuesday Oh hallelujah for today I feel alright And I give thanks for these conversations Where I get to say what's on my mind Don't be on your guard it's just something you should know Something we should talk about When you're off to the races I'll be counting my paces Making sure I don't step too far But now my covers' been blown So where do I go For a sweet alibi that will get me by And I've seen you in my dreams Where you seem to me to be the sweetest thing I've ever lost oh my god don't go Because I've been a wreck since you have left
