WHERE HAPPINESS BEGINS. (mp3 sample)

I was just about to kiss your smile but there were too many eyes looking our way. I know how to break your heartstrings, I know where happiness begins. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye and I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye and I won't look away. I know I  should have told you that I can only carry the weight of my own little world on my shoulders. I know what the telephone rings bring, I know where happiness begins. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry. I'll look you in the eye and I won't look away. I'll place a kiss upon your lips and I won't let it dry, I'll look you in the eye and I won't look away.

 

YOUR HEART GOT BORED. (mp3 sample)

I couldn't believe you could leave, I couldn't say won't you stay, so how can I have cause for complaint. He's never been past your door before. It hurts to think you could want him more, when it was me that you loved 'till your heart got bored. It was me that you loved 'till your heart got bored. Oh don't stay sore with me on days you're with him. I couldn't believe you could leave . I couldn't say won't you stay, so how can I have cause for complaint. Oh how can I have cause for complaint.

 

I HOPE YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THERE.  (mp3 sample)

When I feel lonely I need you to be where I can see you and where you can see me. I need you to hold me, I need you to want me in your arms. When I get doubtful I need to see your eyes when I'm without you I need the time to fly, bringing you closer, bringing you back into my arms. I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, beating with me. When I catch no sleep whenever I close my eyes, when I find no peace when all of my hope dies, I long to be near you, I long to be with you in your arms. When I feel jealous of the time we spend apart, when I feel jealous and I long to break your heart, it's because I want you It's because I need you in my arms. I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, beating with me. I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there, beating with me. I hope you'll always be there, I hope you'll always be there  beating with me.

 

THE QUEUE TO YOUR HEART.  (mp3 sample)

Can I feel your smile on my face so mine can be replaced when it disappears without a trace and can I keep your words in my mouth so I can shout them out on days you are not about. And on those days you know where I will be waiting in the queue to your heart. Yeah on those days you know where to find me, jumping the queue to your... Can I have your voice in my head so when I toss and turn in bed, I can hear all the words you said. And can I keep your kiss on my lips, to check that it still fits, on days I am missing it. And on those days you know where I will be waiting in the queue to your heart. Yeah on those days you know where to find me, jumping the queue to your heart. Oh do you know how I so long to be you? Do you know how I so long to be you?

 

I ALWAYS HURT THE ONE THAT I LOVE. (mp3 sample)

I should thank my stars I found her, she's full of hellos not goodbyes. I should throw my arms around her and never bring tears to her eyes. For she flashes me those sweet smiles that make my blue skies stay and she always brings birds that sing sweetly all day. I should rub my eyes in wonder at the way she makes time fly. I should kiss the air around her and never bring tears to her eyes. For she fills me with butterflies that take my breath away and she always brings birds that sing sweetly all day. But I always hurt the one that I love. I always hurt the one that I love.

 

BREATHE MY NAME. (mp3 sample)

Who put these thoughts in my head? Could it have been you whilst we slept and who placed that smile on your face? Could it have been me in the race, to taste the space between the words you say. When you breathe my name I know it can never sound the same again. It can never sound the same again. Who tied these wings to my heart? Could it have been you from the start and who placed that smile on your face? Could it have been me in the race to taste the space between the words you say. When you breathe my name I know it can never sound the same again, it can never sound the same again. Oh don't fall back into arms that you know so well. For here are mine they are new and open wide. Climb into my shell. And let me taste the space between the words you say. When you breathe my name I know it can never sound the same again. It can never sound the same again. 

 

THE TRICK. (mp3 sample)

She turns my dull life around with a nod and a wink. God bless her because now I can hardly think. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say, except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. She places a sparkle into these tired eyes and how I marvel just waiting on her surprise. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. May I stay out of your way when I've nothing nice to say except I'm sorry. How d'you know when to go? That's the trick I wish to know, well I'm listening. Oh I'll just sit in the corner, oh I won't say a thing. I promise you won't even notice me or the huge hopes I bring, the huge hopes I bring.

 

EASY. (mp3 sample)

Between the sheets of my bed she was fashionably late. With the first ice cold shoulder I knew we'd soon be out of date. And it's too late now I know she's already starting to go and she knows that I won't make it easy. Yeah it's too late now I know she's already starting to go and she's knows that I won't make it easy. I can't get the perfect picture and it will keep me up all night. Just trying hard to picture her with my eyes shut tight. And it's too late now I know she's already starting to go and she knows that I won't make it easy. Yeah it's too late now I know she's already starting to go and she knows that I won't make it easy. Won't make it easy on you won't make it easy on me. Won't make it easy on you, won't make it easy on me.

 

NOT SLEEPING THE SAME WAY. (mp3 sample)

I'm sad to see it's morning the night was all I wanted for you. I wait for you to tell me if the dreams that you've been making have come true. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm sad to see it's morning the night always runs faster than the day. I wait for you to kiss me before the dreams that I've been making run away. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way. I'm not sleeping the same way.

 

THAT SHINING SMILE. (mp3 sample)

I get in your eyes like sunshine in July, on days when you seek the cool shade of a tree and I buzz  around you like a bee on a bloom trying to draw out that shining smile. You slam the door and the pictures on the wall wave you goosbye swinging from side to side and I listen for you in the still of the room quietly picturing that shining smile. We stare at the night sky all covered in stars, that we can't even see but know are up there somewhere. It's easy to be in the way in a small way disturbing your peace late at night in your dreams, because I'm drawn to you like a moth to the moon heading straight towards that shining smile. Yeah I'm drawn to you like a moth to the moon heading straight towards that shining smile. Straight towards that shining smile. Straight towards that shining smile. Straight towards that shining smile.

 

MOUNTAINS. (mp3 sample)

These mountains that you climb each and every time we meet. These words I never say these times I look away staring at my feet. Oh what is it that I am looking for from you? It's the place I long to wake it's the kiss I long to take but the heart will only break. It's the space I long to fill it's the time I'd love to kill but the words will never spill. These mountains that you climb each and every time we sleep. These moves I never make these promises I take but know I'll never keep. Oh what is it that I am looking for from you? It's the place I long to wake it's the kiss I long to take but the heart will only break. It's the space I long to fill it's the time I'd love to kill but the words will never spill. It's the place I long to wake it's the kiss I long to take but the heart will only break. It's the space I long to fill it's the time I'd love to kill but the words will never spill. The words will never spill.

 

PATHWAY.  (mp3 sample)

I would be fortunate to be on her mind. I would be happy to stay. For I have a path I like to follow and she has a path that leads away. I have a path that leads to sorrow and she leaves a path I cannot trace. I could be sunny come tomorrow, I could grow cold today. For I have a path I like to follow and she has a path that leads away. I have a path that leads to sorrow and she leaves a path I cannot trace. Oh  I have a path that leads to sorrow and she leaves a path I cannot trace.

 

YOU'VE LOST YOUR APPEAL (live)   (mp3 sample)

You see I still tremble when you touch and you see how my head shakes when you make new plans for us. I know if you leave me I will be ok and I know if we survive I will only drive you away. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. You know I still need my own company and you know I will leave just to breathe more comfortably. You knew it was only a matter of time, before someone new replaced you in my mind. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I knew you wouldn't phone because you only phone when I'm not at home, when I'm not at home. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal. I fear when the moment returns and you heal, the whole idea will have lost its appeal to me, to me.
