LYRICS
Track Listing:
THE DOLPHIN SONG
I had two real friends every time they climbed my fence
Oh I know that I belonged
See the tips of the trees from my red trampoline
I was on top of my little world
Oooh oh every now and then, I wish I was a ten year old
I had a sister and when she had some spare time to spend
She could always count on me
We’d dip our toes in the pool, icy cold on the ledge
And then she’d push me off the edge
Oooh oh every now and then I wish I was a ten year old
Oooh there’s something beautiful in the way a kid can see the world
Oooh I wish I could depend on the kindness flowing from that girl
Oooh oh every now and then
I wish I were ten
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget about the cold
Dolphin dive into the water
Feel it on your skin, forget you’re getting old
WITH NO YOU
Can we please just be friends like we were at the start
When my rose coloured glass was new
Can we please take it back to a time I knew nothing
Of this life I now live with no you.
With no you (I’ve been staring at your phone number)
With no you (I’ve been dying just to talk to ya)
I don’t know what I’ll do with no you (I’ve been thinking ‘bout ya dreaming ‘bout ya)
With no you (I’ve been staring at your phone number)
With no you (I’ve been dying just to talk to ya)
I don’t know what to do with no you (I’ve been thinking ‘bout ya dreaming ‘bout ya)
I’m still wrapped in all of the memories of you holding me to sleep
And I’m alone I’m afraid and I don’t know what I’ll do
With myself in a world with no you
I don’t know what to do with no you (I’ve been staring at your phone number)
With no you (I’ve been dying just to talk to ya)
I don’t know what to do with no you
If I threw away all our memories maybe I could sleep in peace tonight
When I sit on the couch there’s no-one to talk to
I’m a alone in the room with no you
I don’t know what to do with no you (I’ve been staring at your phone number)
With no you (I’ve been dying just to talk to ya)
I don’t know what I’ll do with no you (I’ve been thinking ‘bout ya dreaming ‘bout ya)
With no you (I’ve been staring at your phone number)
With no you (I’ve been dying just to talk to ya)
I don’t know what to do with no you

HOPELESS IN LOVE
Got no sleep (Cause I’m in love)
Getting down too low
Got cold feet (Cause I’m in love)
Freezing every single toe
I’m a sailor on a sinking boat
And I wish I could stop thinking of this love I have for you
How long will I take?
I’m hopeless in love
I’m hopeless in love with you
Remember when we’re in love and you’d hold me in a heap
In my bed we’re in love, watching each other breathe
And I
And I
And I wish I could stop thinking of this love I have for you
How long will I take?
I’m hopeless in love
I’m hopeless in love with you
I’m hopeless in love, I’m hopeless in love
I’m hopeless in love with you
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
You drop me down
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
You drop me down
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
You drop me down
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
Tryna pick me up
You drop me down
EXTREME HIGHS
Living in a house with nine plus one is pretty fun
Your kitchen’s full and you are buzzed
Because you have so many friends that you can’t microwave your mug
And they will make your face and stomach ache
Seven months of great, then out the blue
Who would bother with a birthday party no one would show up to?
It’s extreme highs to extreme lows
It’s extreme highs to extreme lows
Some days I get worn down so paper thin
I blow around like I’m a lonely feather in the wind
And all my friends are all weighed down
Because their bones are made that way
I hear them laugh, I hear them play
But I can’t stick around and stay
Cause my extreme highs to extreme lows
It’s extreme highs to extreme lows
It’s extreme highs to extreme lows
It’s extreme highs to extreme lows
I must be in the upside down, I’m getting overwhelmed again
(I must be in the upside down I’m getting overwhelmed)
I’m a faulty elevator that can only land on one or ten
(I must be in the upside down I’m getting overwhelmed)
There has to be a reason and that reason must be on my end
(I’ve just been crying in my bed, I know that they can tell)
I’m a faulty elevator that can only land on one or ten.
CAVEMAN
This is a song about what I wanna do for a week or so
Go out into the forest and drink some real Mountain Dew from the river flow
Catch a fish and cook it like a caveman
Sleep outside to feel like I’m a brave man
Yeah, I wanna go outside, yeah
I wanna go outside, yeah
I wanna go outside, yeah
It’s a perfect little picture I put up in my world of thoughts when I am worrying
An open window in a crowded space
A dream one step away
Fresh air, fresh everything
I could climb the tallest pine tree in the forest
To see the world through the eyes of Pocahontas
Yeah, I wanna go outside, yeah
I wanna go outside, yeah
I wanna go outside, yeah
Oh man, let’s go back to basics
I know a better place to go
I know when I spend time in nature
Lightning strikes me in the soul
Do we belong out in the open?
Do we belong beside the sea?
If I ran away forever
Don’t come running after me
TAKE ME TO HARLEY STREET
Waiting for my hope to die
So I can move on with my life
Help me find my way home
Ruined all my favourite songs
With one love story that went wrong
Help me find my way home
Take me to Harley Street
And they’ll remove my cold heart beat
And help me find my way home
Poisoned by my human brain
I bit the apple once again
Help me find my way home
Take me to Harley Street
And they’ll remove my cold heart beat
I’ll tap my red shoes once or twice
Cause you can’t see yellow bricks at night
Help me find my way home
Somebody help me find my way home
Take me to Harley Street
And they’ll remove my cold heart beat
I’ll laugh, I’ll smile then after a while
My heart re-breaks, a failed re-take
It won’t help me find my way home
Somebody help me find my way home
PAINTING OF A TRENCH
Today I draw a line under the sand
A trench to mark a splitting of the land
Like a chainsaw cutting down the middle of an old willow tree
It pushes against the human in me
Barbed wire to secure my place
Slogging away at a parapet
It’s a pretty filthy way to be
My clothes are wet
Stones in my shoes
Dirt on my knees
Here in a hole is a lonely girl
Making herself lonelier
Here in a hole is a lonely girl
Making herself lonelier
Here in a hole is a lonely girl
Making herself lonely
THE INNOCENT GIRL IN THE BLUE DRESS
A girl lies in the distance hidden by a bed of clouds
How the innocent of faces
Has been trained to be a hound
And when she hears a whistle
She will answer to its call
Just a brainwashed ammunition
That was made to do it all
So oooh the blue blue dress is gone
Oooh now your girl is on the run
Ohhh, ohhh ohhh
Your girl is on the run
I think I’ve found forgiveness but pity might just be enough
Cause the girl that wore the blue dress is still gonna rough me up
She’s barking at the window
When I stand outside the gate
And she’ll kill a little rabbit even if it’s just for game
So oooh the blue blue dress is gone
Oooh now your girl is on the run
Oooh the blue blue dress is gone
Oooh now your girl is on the run
Ohhh, ohhh ohhh
Your girl is on the run
IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME
If you know it’s raining you wouldn’t wear a t-shirt
If you found a precious stone then you would keep it
If you really loved me you would never leave me
Everybody knows it’s all the same
You put your favourite picture in a silver locket
Keep it wrapped around you so you can keep it safe
If you really loved me you would never leave me
Everybody knows it’s all the same
Cause you can say that you love me all you want
But if you really loved me you would never leave me
Everybody knows it’s all the same
If you bought a puppy you’d stare at it in wonder
It’d be cruel to never touch her and keep her locked away
Cause if you really loved me you wouldn’t do that to me
Everybody knows that’s just insane
Cause you can say that you love me all you want
But if you really loved me you wouldn’t do that to me
Everybody knows that’s just insane
A LIFELONG PURSUIT
Love is not a card, it’s not a card that you can play
To make all of your bad decisions go away
Love is not plaster or a band-aid that you put
On a nasty wound to hide its nasty looks
Oh love is hard, oh love is hard
That’s how you know it’s love
A lifelong pursuit that’s supposed to build you up
But when it hurts, it really hurts
Each fall is fifty lashes
I hope to stick it out to see the beauty in the ashes
My favourite superhero is the priest from Les Mis
Cause when he gets screwed over he just offers more to give
And even though his character I’ve only seen on screen
I hope that there’s a possibility he could be me
Oh love is hard, oh love is hard
That’s how you know it’s love
A lifelong pursuit that’s supposed to build you up
But when it hurts, it really hurts
Each fall is fifty lashes
I hope to stick it out to see the beauty in the ashes
I stared at you, I stared at you
I stared you in the face
Until I couldn’t talk and my hands were shaking
Then freedom, freedom, freedom stole me away
And a single tear made an oasis
How can you love without forgiveness?
Oh love is hard, oh love is hard
That’s how you know it’s love
A lifelong pursuit that’s supposed to build you up
But when it hurts, it really hurts
Each fall is fifty lashes
I hope to stick it out to see the beauty in the ashes
So drive your car and buy your flights
And write the cards you need to write
Talk your talks and hug your hugs
Make sure you love the ones you love
Rip the band-aid, punch the wall
Pull the curtain, hear the call
Talk your talks and hug your hugs
Make sure you love the ones you love
Make sure you love the ones you love
