Since The Start
03:50

when I’m alone
I listen to my eardrums
ringing with the sound
of a telephone
I can’t pick up
‘cause I’m made of stone
but when I do
there’s a dial tone
when we’re apart
I listen to my eardrums
beating with the sound
of a broken heart
and you can tell
it’s a work of art
‘cause it’s been beating
since the start
since the start
since the start I’ve been looking for you
since the start
since the start I’ve been looking
when I’m alone
I listen to my eardrums
ringing with the sound
of a telephone
with the sound
of a broken heart
‘cause it’s been beating
since the start

Oh Ah (Now We Know)
03:24
|

you won’t catch me dreaming
looking at the skyline
‘cause all of its lights
remind me of you – of you
oh ah know we know
and I wanna tell the whole world
I love you
why is everything so black and white
everything’s colored in the city lights
looking at you sleeping
see you inhaling
in goes the dark
out comes the light – so bright
oh ah know we know
and I wanna tell the whole world
I love you
why is everything so black and white
everything’s colored in the city lights

Orange and Brown
04:42
|

everything's orange and brown
so I won’t make a sound
the company I keep
they think that I’m asleep
when everything’s yellow and red
I don’t want to go to bed
so I won’t make a sound
when everything's orange and brown
I watch you as you sleep
I watch you in the orange and the brown
I watch you as you sleep
in the orange and the brown
when everything's orange and brown
when everything's orange and brown
when everything's orange and brown
orange and brown
yellow and red
I don’t wanna go – go to bed
yellow and red
orange and brown
I don’t wanna make – make a sound

Lemonade

|

lemonade
lemonade
lemonade
lemonade
when everything has a bad taste
but you have lemons
make lemonade
when nothing is going right
don’t take anyone’s advice
lemonade (chorus)
now you don’t mind my drinking
but you could do without
‘cause I’m louder than my neighbours
every whisper
a shout
lemonade (chorus)

Lost
04:04
|

somebody told me you were looking for a boyfriend
someone to talk to, who would always be around
I could volunteer
but that wouldn’t be fair
‘cause I’d be lost if I were there
give me a reason and I’ll show you every corner
give me chance and you will see what I can do
I could be around
I don’t really care
‘cause I’d be lost if I were there
I’d be lost if I were there (wouldn’t I be lost if I were there)
how did you find me
am I that obvious
I wasn’t hiding
but I was lost, I was lost, I was lost
don’t wanna hear about you dire situation
you made a mess and you need me to clean it up
well here’s a piece of soap
the bucket’s over there
I am lost but I don’t care
how did you find me
am I that obvious
I wasn’t hiding
but I was lost, I was lost, I was lost

Little Man
03:35

summer is easy when everything is warm
and you don’t have to think about
what you’re gonna wear
where you’re gonna go
winter is harder, winter is cold
you can hear your mother
calling out your name
little man
not gonna ask you again
morning is easy, nights are clear
you can use the stars to navigate
I appreciate
all that you told me
all that you spent
all you did for this little man
little man
not gonna ask you again
I started running
and I never looked back

somewhere in the galaxy
a man is pouring water onto sand
he is a dreamer
because the heart wants what the heart wants
and the heart wants to explore
it sees it as a fallacy
it’s having trouble believing
that deserts are even
remotely the reason why
it’s beating for this man
who’s pouring water onto sand
somewhere in the galaxy
she’s saying it’s
gonna be all right
she’s following her heart
it’s beating for this man
who’s pouring water onto sand

Landslide
04:57
|

you want to role with the punches
you gotta take one now
you can feel the earth moving
it’s gonna be fast, it’s gonna be loud
wait for the landslide
wait for the landslide
no matter what the pain was
I hope it’s gone by now
but if you can’t build bridges
you shouldn’t be hear – you shouldn’t be around
wait for the landslide
wait for the landslide
close your eyes
sit down
take a deep breath
and listen to my voice
do it in that specific order
trust me
now think about what you said to your friend the other day
that wasn’t very nice was it?
what if everyone stopped saying those things
what if we all started to treat people the way we want to be treated
don’t you think that would make the world a much better place?
