Hard Light

There's a hard light, a hard light, oh baby there’s a hard light
Hard light - creeping under my door

Last night I woke up from a strange dream,
I woke up from a strange dream,

I was out side, a little stunned by the view
My furniture was on the freeway,
Furniture on the freeway

traffics banked right back, and no ones getting through

There's a hard light, a hard light
Oh baby there’s a hard light - that I can't ignore
It's casting shadows in my blue room, blue room
It's casting shadows in my blue room - that hard light
It’s creeping under my door

Lid, screwed down tight
Keep everything inside
Easy ride
But then....here comes the night

Woke up this morning to a cold truth
I woke up to a cold truth
that I live in the grey
and I want to see the day

There's a hard light, a hard light
Oh baby there’s a hard light - that I can't ignore
It's casting shadows in my blue room, blue room
It's casting shadows in my blue room - that hard light
It’s creeping under my door

All the time in the world

Imagine nothing but open sky
Between us
Bare skin and the sun is everywhere
If the summer stayed all year
This season made eternal
The waves would whisper secrets in your ear

(then)We'd have all the time in the world
While the world turned us around
We'd have all the time in the world
To make our plans and stand our ground

Imagine if the traffic stopped,
And the city, was still
The lights change but no one moves
So we’re walking
Out to where the reasons change
Where tiny tasks don't clog the day
If this was love, then we'd be falling

(and) We'd have all the time in the world
While the world turned us around
All the time in the world
To make our plans and stand our ground
           
I’ll take my expectations       
To the airport
Put em on a plane
Watch them fade to nothing
As they fly away

we let ourselves off the hook
We’re held safe in the hands of fate
She turns the page, she writes the book

I watch the seasons change
See our lives rearrange
I wish that we had more than time

Ghost Life

There's a feeling
Something's happening
The dark is being pulled back
Bending time and brewing shadows

Cars are cruising
Low with blue lights
They growl and hover
Little spaceships in the night         

She says “What I hate
Is being me
He doesn't understand
“Who else would you be?”

He wonders what
It might be like when she's gone
He carries it around inside
Like an unexploded bomb

And you know she's gonna leave
You just can't, sense her direction
Trying to believe
In a ghost life that is fading
Every image rearranging

And the shots shock the order and the neighbours dogs
Set to barking like they're told
There'll be no sleep (down) in Rowville tonight
The standard issue's feeling very cold, and alone

Seven ways to sin

I saw a one armed man outside the tattoo parlour
It made me think about my girls skin
There's not a mark on her that god didn't intend
There's more than seven ways to sin

Flip flop bottle top Friday night
I hear a voice on the telephone
It says you get your appetite wherever you like
As long as you eat at home

Seven ways to sin
Seven ways to sin
I think about the girl I think about her skin
There's more than seven ways to sin

The devils on my shoulder whispering
It sounds so gleaming good
Like a politicians promise of a velvet ride
Like a fridge that's full of food

It's that look in her eye that just drags me in
It's stronger than the sun
I've seen how people tempt each other
But I didn't think I'd be one

Seven ways to sin
Seven ways to sin
I think about that girl I think about her skin
There's more than seven ways to sin

My baby don't talk, she don't give it away
She's a saint on a crusade
My heart is full and my hands are clean
But by my thoughts I could be betrayed

Nothing comes easy

The first time I fell
It seemed like the end
I guess it’s part of that lesson
About getting up again

It’s a slow realization
It’s the way of the world
It’s like that one grain of sand
That turns into the pearl

Because nothing comes easy
Nothing worthwhile
Anything that matters
Is gonna take a little time

Sometimes what's precious
Gets lost in the rush
So I'm saying now what's precious to me
And Baby it's us

Like a pearl and time and moonlight
Sometimes, I know I get under your skin
just when you think we're finished,
that's where we begin

Nothing comes easy
Nothing worthwhile
Anything that matters
Is gonna take a little time
