lyrics

Words & Music

Been roaming around finding love in the science of sound
I fear what you feel. When I'm up am I bringing you down?

Never wanna fly too close, never wanna get too safe
Never wanna make choices that'll reveal mistakes
Got a pocket full of ideas. Got a head full of daydreams
Got a lot of explaining to myself to do

Now only words and music will eliviate the pain of feeling
Washed up, losing to an unwinnable game
But really all that matters is the centre of the sound
And leaving bruised and battered, for standing my ground

I've fallen in love. It's the kind that you never give up
Cos nothing can break the bond between musician and stage

Never wanna shout too loud. Never wanna get too brave
Never wanna make choices that'll reveal mistakes
Got a pocket full of ideas. Got a head full of daydreams
Got a lot of explaining to myself to do

You can find anytime a place to get out of your mind
It’s a vauge memory of the spaces between the lines
Of the music and words you once heard
