You try to stir. To make a scene. To fill the pages of imagined magazines. When lightning strikes it's more than once. It may seem strange to most but not to all of us. Now it's time to go. It's time to go. Storm inside a teacup never seems to let up. The wind is always changing pushing us away from shore. Storm inside a teacup never seems to let up. The wind is always changing pushing us away from shore. It's a storm in a teacup While sticks and stones may hold me down The word spreads quickly in the smallest of the towns. And from what I've heard I'm not compelled. I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. Now it's time to go. It's time to go. Storm inside a teacup never seems to let up. The wind is always changing pushing us away from shore. Storm inside a teacup never seems to let up. The wind is always changing pushing us away from shore. It's a storm in a teacup I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. It's time to go. I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. It's time to go. It's time to go. I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. It's time to go. It's time to go. I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. I love the teacup but I hate the storms it's held. Now it's time to go.

Salt On Skin 04:25
Oh she plants a kiss and the love how it grows like a tree that has rich soil beneath it's roots. The taste of salt on skin. Oh the sun goes down but it's just begun and the light is at it's best. Now the sky turns red and my heart is beating like a thunder in my chest. Here comes the rain. Here comes the rain. You can I choose to dance about within the rain and smile like we're insane. We feel relief. The water cleans and cools our overheated skin. The night is setting in. The taste of salt on skin. Oh the sea breeze blows like a gentle whisper to hold each other close. Tree imaginary. Oh I like to believe that the leaves are multicoloured like my heart and one day we build a house within it's branches and never have to part. You can I choose to dance about within the rain and smile like we're insane. We feel relief. The water cleans and cools our overheated skin. The night is setting in. There's a thunder in my chest. You can I choose to dance about within the rain and smile like we're insane. We feel relief. The water cleans and cools our overheated skin. The night is setting in.

I'm writing in the back of this book. If only I could spell your name. It's not like it's a first edition anyway. If you gave me something clean to write on It really wouldn't feel the same. I'd call you but I lost your number days ago. I don't even know who wrote this book but all the illustrations Show me all the things I need to know about life's complications. I write all my best ideas in tiny words within the margins and one day I will mail this book to you. Maybe I destroy the meanings when i rearrange the words You really can't have one without the other one. So give me more than ones and zeros Tear me from a flickering screeen And we can glue our books together into one. I don't even know who wrote this book but all the illustrations Show me all the things I need to know about life's complications. I write all my best ideas in tiny words within the margins and one day I will mail this book to you.

Glass Houses 03:58
You won't convince me. Not at all. That it's gravity that holds me to the floor. It's just a phase of mine. I believe that one day we will just let go. Just let go and the world will float below serene and still. Just let go and the world will float below serene and still. Narcissistic. Uninspired. You just won't shut up but barely said a word. Don't you see? There is more to this than just the you and me. All my friends are in glass houses throwing stones With no concern for broken windows. All my friends are in glass houses throwing stones With no concern for broken windows. Just let go. Just let go and the world will float below serene and still. Just let go and the world will float below serene and still. All my friends are in glass houses throwing stones With no concern for broken windows. All my friends are in glass houses throwing stones With no concern for broken windows.

I've got an organ inside my chest and it making melodies just for you And I can't get them out of my head cos there's something sweet about a simple tune. Let's take up the chorus and sing 'til our voice is gone. Gone. Let's take up the chorus and sing 'til our voice is gone. Marry me we'll live alone together on a plateau and play our favourite songs on slightly out of tune pianos When it rains it sounds like tiny drums upon the ceiling We'll unravel every word to find the hidden meanings You've got a rhythm inside your heart and it beats to the melody within my soul. When we're together it is loud and strong and it strips away all our self control. Marry me we'll live alone together on a plateau and play our favourite songs on slightly out of tune pianos When it rains it sounds like tiny drums upon the ceiling We'll unravel every word to find the hidden meanings
