Jacket 03:21
You said the best part of your night Was when I took my jacket off I go from feeling kinda stupid To 10 feet tall Do you know what you're doing Playing with me like this Said you're just doing your best You sealed it with a kiss The ink spills thickest before it runs dry Im so in love with you But I'm running out of reasons why Now we're skipping the observatory My birthday gift Your friend back home's having a party I'm not invited You've not a bad bone That much seems true But I dont know what you're capable of Until you show me The ink spills thickest Before it runs dry I'm so in love with you But I'm running out of reasons why What you waiting for I'm still waiting for

Afternoons 03:59
Afternoons I could never write afternoons For the bleak evenings wind Pushed the rain aside Love I could never love long enough I will run before I know what I'm running from But if I were to I would only think of you Sitting in the back of dad's car Chewing gum singing one in a million And if I were to I would only have to think of you Hiding cigarettes under the stairs Blowing smoke rings I was so impressed Beauty queen You looked just like tiffany You're not from round here You never let mum forget it Oh the fighting You on the doorstep Peeking through the letterbox Begging me to let you in I always did But if I were to I would only think of you Sitting in the back of dad's car Chewing gum singing one in a million And if I were to I would only have to think of you Hiding cigarettes under the stairs Blowing smoke rings I was so impressed Afternoons I could never write afternoons It's hollow to say You're the best part of my day

Hold it there Stay right there You look lovely in that light There I go Saying things I don't want to ruin the night Who knew we had it in us to fight? Lights off Lights the candles In our room Where I wait Think I just need Some of your loving The kind we've forgotton How to make The bed it's always made Small house with a big heart We did it all with not much to start I just want you to know I love you baby and I always will Know a storm When I see one We sure can Weigh each other down Our bodies Are tired And if we don't swim Then we'll drown Why don't you talk me round I want life next to you Better people having been through All in love We thought we knew It is safe to assume I love you baby and I always will

Where does it come from Your insatiable habit I'm always watching the road Over the hill I've never seen you Always wondered where you go Cos you you are the best Taking all my stress Never wondered how you'd ever go Never wondered how I'd never know Always thought I'd sing another song Catch of the day How cruel is dawn Crueler the tides We're sailing on You hold your guitar Like a baseball bat Never wondered how you'd ever go Never wondered how I'd ever know Always thought I'd sing another song

Mark Well 01:34
We had a lot of fun I've got not a bad word to say about you You Sorry this has to end I hope nothing changes in you You Like the tide flowing out on the axis of a moon I have to leave I'll come back soon for you I could have never been your wife Laundry and therapeutic strife But I Iove I love Love It's never what I think it was
