Eyes wide open, mouth closed shut
Feet on the ground, feeling love
The girl in the trees, she looked up
Mind wide open, screaming inside
Running away, wanting to feel alive
The boy on the mountain, he looked down
They're just playing hide with no-one to seek
They're just playing hide with no-one to seek
What a waste of a chance, if only they'd seen.
On different levels of the same ground
But she was too scared to climb and risk falling down
The boy on the mountain, alone he sat down
They're just playing hide with no-one to seek
They're just playing hide with no-one to seek
What a waste of a chance, if only they'd seen.
With his smoke on the hill, he was easily found
By a girl who was braver and knew what she'd found
The girl in the trees still waits to be found
She's just playing hide with no-one to seek
She's just playing hide with no-one to seek
What a waste of a chance, if only she'd seen.

Just waiting for the waters to lie
And holding back the tears you should've cried
Let it out
Let it out
Where did it go, that light in your eyes?
What did they say to make you loose your way?
Lost in yourself, why did you have to hide,
And loose your faith in a brighter day?
'Cause you're shining for me now
Brighter than the sun
You're dancing for me now
Out-running everyone
Let it out
Let it out
What made you think you were born to loose?
How could you think you were broken?
When d'y'think you'd lost the right to choose,
And leave those dreams unspoken?
Let it out
Let it out
'Cause you're shining for me now
Brighter than the sun
You're dancing for me now
Out-running everyone
Let it out
Let it out
Nicole Perrott Hughes and Graham Higgins
Black smudged hands from the eyes of last night
Staring out at the birds on a branch holding tight
Try as hard as try I just might, I can't seem to be up for this fight.
Please come back
Please come back
Some stay'n' measure, some run away
Some go under 'till another day
Some stay'n'measure, some run away
Some go around and loose their way.
Scattered petals from a messed up thrown bouquet
Bridges burned never gonna be ok
I lost my fire, put my light away
It"s all too stark now in the cold light of day
Please come back
Please come back
Some stay'n'measure, some run away
Some go under 'till another day
Some stay'n'measure, some run away
Some go around and loose their way.

Hey I'm the one sitting miles and miles
Away on the other side of the room
You haven't seen me in years and years
Not since you got up to change the tune
Now I"m wondering why I'm so far away
And feeling out of view
I'm wondering if we're OK or is there something we should do
There's no place I'd rather be, I love who we are
I know you"d turn and look to see
If you knew how far
How far
Hey I'm the one sitting miles and miles
Away on the other side of the room
You haven't seen me in years and years
Not since you got up to change the tune
Now I know you're working oh so hard
No time to stop and think
I"m worrying thinking far too much
Numbing worries with drink
There's no place I'd rather be, I love who we are
I know you'd turn and look to see
If you knew how far
How far
You don't notice when I slip away
You don't know that I've been gone for days
Maybe it's as well you don't miss me much
I've found an new place to hide
I've found a new place
I've found a new place to hide.
I've waited around for you for far too long
You've left me in places that I don't belong
Hiding in plain sight for all to see
Now I've a new place for me
I've found a new place
Found a new place to hide.
I wanted to be heard by her
I needed to be understood
But she was from another time
So we just sat there with tears in our eyes, with tears in our eyes.
Mend and make do, mend and make do
Mend and make do is what she said to me
Aren't I allowed to be broken?
Do I always have to cope?
Ain't there strength in having weakness?
I'm I a clown, or just a joke?
Mend and make do…
I wish I could be that strong
I wish I could just carry on
I wish I could be that strong
Yes I'm allowed to be broken
But I mustn't let it show
Keeping busy will help me cope
and with all I'll have done, I'll not be a joke.
Mend and make do, mend and make do
Mend and make do, is what she said to me.
I was always told, I could always be
Anything I want, 'cos I had all the love I'd need
She lives for your joy
She feels your pain
She can open up the whole world, yet make it all go away.
Oh, a life well spent, but it's a life spent on everyone
Else
You can see it in the heart of everything we do
She is the soul, She is the glue
She lives for your joy and feels your pain
She can open up the whole world, yet make it all go away.
Oh, a life well spent, but it's a life spent on everyone
Else.

When it feels so quiet sometimes
When I feel every moment so slow
I get to wondering sometimes
How low does low go?
When thoughts are racing inside
They've got no-where to go
Held so tight they implode
Internally they flow
I put my heart out, just far enough for you to reach
I put my heart out just far enough for you to see
Push it out a little further
Grab it back or let it fall?
When this journey's nearly over
When I feel myself come back
I get to wondering sometimes
Should I just put it all back
Push it out a little further….
When I'm stuck inside this wanting
Willing love to flow free
Can't make you feel things
Can't make you reach me
You wouldn't know it from the outside
Looks like there's no-one home
I put my heart out just far enough for you
I put my heart out just far enough for you to see me.
False false have you been to me my love
Oh when did you change your mind
Ah, but since you've laid your love on another fair maid
I'm afraid you're no more mine
I was climbing to a tree that was too high for me
Asking fruit where there weren't any grew
I've been lifting warm water out beneath cold clay
And against those streams I was rowing
False false have you been to me my love
Oh when did you change your mind
Ah, but since you've laid your love on another fair maid
I'm afraid you're no more mine
Oh but I mean to climb up that higher higher tree
And harry white snowflakes nest
And down will I fall, I without any fear
To the arms that love me the best
False false have you been to me my love
Oh when did you change your mind
Ah, but since you've laid your love on another fair maid
I'm afraid you're no more mine

Bolt hole green
Listenin' to the birds nesting in the eaves
Your old bed knows your old dreams
Doesn't matter where you go or what you've seen
Where is doesn't matter if your broken
Nor just how far you think you should've come
It always goes without being spoken
You've always somewhere left to run
Bolt hole blue
Running from the list of things to do
These old windows have seen some views
Their different light can help you choose
Where is doesn't matter if your broken
Nor just how far you think you should"ve come
It always goes without being spoken
You've always somewhere left to run
Bolt hole brown
Place your feet down on the ground
These old walls will hold you in
Keep out the world and all it's spin
Where is doesn't matter if your broken
Nor just how far you think you should've come
It always goes without being spoken
You've always somewhere left to run
Bolt hole.

I'm lighting this candle again
Knowing exactly where this will end
Praying for so much more, already know the score.
You catch your footing as the ground falls
Whilst a hole opens up and in I crawl
Say what you want, nothing's changed
I wanna know how this will flow
Will it break, will it fork or bow
I need to let the cracks appear
Then fix it all, have no doubts, all clear
You hold your head as the waters swell
While I dive and sink hoping you'll tell
Say what you want, nothing's changed
Never see the changes happen
'Cos you're not looking for things to fix
Whilst I was inside searching, you just held on to all the bricks
You feel the weight as it starts to lift
Whilst I feel the push of each and every gear shift
Say what you want, nothing's changed.

Just a little boat waiting for the storm
But I'm already home and I'm already warm
There's a stillness here but I need to move
If we don't grow we can only loose
No stone unturned, no moments lost
No bridges burned, no counting cost
No standing still, pretending you're lost.
Next time I'll give it all I have
Next time.
Here we are coming back to shore
We've been out drifting but I want more
There's a stillness here but I need to move
If we don't grow we can only loose
No regrets, things left unsaid
No second guessing, loosing thread
No standing still and playing dead
Next time I'll give it all I have
Next time….

Will I see it when it's turning in her?
Will I tell her it's ok?
Break your heart trying darlin'
Risk your heart it's ok.
'Cos once you've said it, it's out there
Just floating around
Would it be so bad even if it just falls to the ground?
To find love risk your heart
To find love, risk your heart.
Will he see it when it's growing in her?
Forget all risk and take the fall
Be brave and whole hearted
In the end it's worth it all
'Cos once you've said it, it's out there
Just floating around
Would it be so bad even if it just falls to the ground?
To find love risk your heart
To find love, risk your heart.
'Cos once you've said it, it's out there
Dancing around
Holding you sway, lifting your feet off the ground
To find love risk your heart
To find love, risk your heart.
Coming to this part
This one scene again
Where 'here on' is held
Will I be here again
I will try to remember, hold this scene in my head
Take the next way around it, not cause a scene in bed
If you'd have told me, told me I'd been wrong
Then I"d be back in my place, back where I belong
If you'd have told me, told me I'd been wrong
Then I'd be back, where I'd do no harm
Back in your arms.
Coming to this part
The end of the act
It's part of the picture
With filled in cracks
Revealing all feelings, they're out and raw
But to say nothing, such a massive flaw
If you'd have told me, told me I'd been wrong
Then I'd be back in my place, back where I belong
If you'd have told me, told me I'd been wrong
Then I'd be back, where I'd do no harm
Back in your arms.
